CHARTER DAY OBSERVANCE

On Tuesday, October 16, seventy- eight years after the granting of its charter (October 16, 1867), Atlanta University held its second annual Charter Day.

The formal exercise of the occasion was a University Convocation at 11 :00 a. m. in Sisters Chapel, Spel- man College, at which the Charter Day address was delivered by Presi¬ dent Frederick Douglass Patterson of Tuskegee Institute. An audience of approximately 1,200 attended.

In a plea for full citizenship for all, Dr. Patterson stated: “'As long as race or religion is made the basis of degree of participation in the priv¬ ileges of citizenship, we undermine the very foundation on which this nation stands. This war has shown clearly the price our nation has paid when the right of education is denied on the assumption that it is a privi¬ lege of race and religion.

Robinson Appointed Carver High Troup Heads Fort Talley Carver High is the only four-year State Negro high school in Arizona. It has College an enrollment of 260, 80 of which are boys; and serves Phoenix and sur¬ rounding county areas.

The school is segregated, due to the fact that, nearly two decades ago, Phoenix, with the consent of Negroes, voted to take advantage of the state law to segregate Negroes in schools up through high school. However, some Arizona schools are mixed, es¬ pecially in communities where there are few Negroes. Carver High is accredited by the North Central Association as a part of the Phoenix Union System. This year, for the first time, it is starting out with its own records rather than having its records kept in the white high school. There is every indica¬ tion it will become an independent coordinate member of the system as are Phoenix Union High and North William A.
