William Goodell Frost, D.D., president of Berea College, will speak under the auspices of the Social Service Committee on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the Fogg Lecture Room, on "A Mountain College on the Fighting Line."
Berea College, situated in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, is an institution for the education of the negroes, and more especially the "poor whites" of the Alleghany and Blue Ridge Mountains, the stock from which Abraham Lincoln came. It is endeavoring to do for the people of that region what the Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes are doing for the negroes in the south.
Dr. Frost will describe in his lecture the recent contest against the legislation in Kentucky to exclude negroes from all institutions where white students are taught. This legislation has, however, been finally successful, and all the negro students have been obliged to leave Berea College.
The lecture will be open to the public.
