GRADUATE SCHOOL FOR
X EG ROES
Durham, N. C., July 3. ? An
nouncement of tha faculty for a
graduate school at North Carolina
College for Negroes in Durham
marks not only a new era in high
er education for the Negro race
in the state but also represents the
friendly spirit of goodwill and co
operation that exists between the
racces here. Outstanding educators
from Duke University in Durham
and the University of North Caro
lina in nearby Chapel Hill, for
stated periods, have been secured
as teachers.
Incidentally. the graduate
school is also the state assembly's
unanimous answer to the decision
of the U. S. Supreme Court, which
ruled that' Negroes are entitled to
graduate work in the State. Its
establishment, however, comes as
the direct result of a well-planned
movement started some years ago
by progressive leaders of both
races to cope with a problem that
had been fast coming to the front.
Young Negroes who graduated
from colleges in the state were
forced ta_go elsewhere to secure
advanced training. Impressed with
the need for more educational op
portunities for these young men
and women, a group of representa
tive leaders of both races united
In an effort, to remedy this de
ficiency, and their dreams were
brought to a happy fruition in the
last session of the general assem
bly when a legislative appropria
tion was secured for this pur
pose. North Carolina College for
Negroes was selected as the most
highly qualified liberal arts insti
tution through which to offer
these advanced educational facill

Dr. James E. Shepard. president
and founder of the college, has

of mutual friendship between the
races that has made Uhis program
possible. Governor Clyde R. Hoey,
state legislators, educational lead
ers throughout the state, and in
terested citizens of both races have
>een staunch friends anl advocates
In t'hia forward movement.
President Shepard also points1
>ut that educational opportunities j
jf the first magnitude are now
t>pen for the first time within this
?tat? to Negroes seeking advanced
training. For next year, starting in
September, the graduate school
will include, for stated periods,
outstanding members of the facul
ties of Duke University and the
University of Nort'h Carolina, as j
well as additions to the regular 1
[acuity.

Knight. Dr. A. M. Jordan, and
Dr. H. R. Douglass, of the de
partment of education, have been
secured for the fall, winter, and
spring terms respectively. From
the same institution. Dr. Hugh T.

zoology, will have charge of that
course at N. C. College, while

ture. The chairman of the advisory
committee for the combined facul

dean of the graduate school of arts
and sciences at Duke university,
and a world authority in his field.
In addition to the graduate
school of education, schools of
law, pharmacy, and medicine are
in prospect.
During recent years, N. C. Col
lege has made unprecedented ex
pansion. Many new buildings have
already been erected to provide
for its increasing sphere of serv
ice, and five more are now in
process of construction. Under the
new program, the Institution bids
fair to become one of the foremost
state-supported Negro colleges in
the country.
