Striving to Save Berea Gollege.
The friends of Berea Gollege, Berea,
Kentucky, held a meeting recently to consider what action shall be taken in view
of the passage by the Kentucky seriate of
the house bill prohibiting co-education of
whites and negroes. This is the only institution in the state where co-education
of the races is carried on. The result of
the conference was the determination to
call a meeting of the trustees of the college MarGh 30 at the Grand hotel in Cincinnati when it is hoped that means will
be devised whereby the college can carry
out its purposes without conflicting with
the law.
The Rev. Mr. Penniman, who so ably
addressed Mr. Way's Young Men's Bible
Class, last Sunday morning, and a large
gathering of men at the Baptist church in
the afternoon of the same day, is speaking in this section in behalf of Berea College. His talk on the Kentucky mountaineer was very interesting. He spoke
of the vast number of people who live in
the mountain fastness and of the need of
an institution like Berea Gollege. Mr.
Penniman, unlike other speakers on the
Kentucky mountain people, did not portray their bad qualities, but pleased his
hearers by speaking of their unique traits
and the true manhood somo of them possess, A course in Berea College costs
about $40, and those of our citizens who
feel able can do a noble work by assisting this school in a financial way.
