Assistant City Judge, is the
man for the position.

his friends and associates, was
sworn in Wednesday morning
and took the ceremony in

A unassuming demeanor that he
has always shown when it came
to accepting responsibility.
His unanimous choice, by the
City solons, was another first
in Raleigh, and even though Mit
j chell is a Negro, it was not be
' lieved to have been the factor
that brought the appointment.
It is believed that he was cho
sen because of his ability, his
wide experience in the field,
his knowledge of law and peo
ple and above all his prudence.
He lias been quite active in
the entire life of Raleigh, since
coming here in 1950. He is mar

ident of Saint Augustine’s Col

“The educational problems
to me in the immediate years
that lie ahead are formidable,”
Dr. Robinson said. He pre
dicted that predominantly Ne

have increasing appeal to stu
dents of various ethnic back
grounds,” he said.
President Robinson told the

College must be recognized ev

tion.
To accomplish this requires
competitive teacher salaries,
reasonable teaching loads,
leaves of absence, research fa
cilities and an atm jsphere con
ducive to free inquiry.
Dr. Robinson also promised

ty of students; and at the same

delivered by Dr. MahlonT. Pur
year, deputy executive director
for the National Urban League.
He told the group that "your
students today,” I hope will
sit-in. I hope they will sit In
the libraries. Your students
are going to demonstrate. I
hope they will demonstrate their
skills and gifts for responsible
leadership.
"The Negro College,” Dr.
Puryear stated must stop call
ing itself a ’Negro College’and
call Itself a college. He urged
the school to think in term? of
raising millions and billions of
