Brotherhood in Action Miss Draper to Retire Sherman Spear (center) receives a check for Waverly, Iowa from Paul Hoff­ man, president of the Fund for the Republic, as Mrs. Eleanor Stevenson (right) and Capt. and Mrs. Daniels (left) watch. Brotherhood in Action Captain Virgil A. Daniels withdrew his deposit on an apartment in Waver­ ly, Iowa, after he learned that a few families in the building protested because he was a Negro. Another resident heard of it and wrote a letter to the Waverly paper saying that he believed the protest did not represent the true sentiments of the community. "I am certain I speak for many when I say 'Captain, we are sorry. We would have been proud to have counted you as a neighbor," he wrote. The Waverly Chamber of Commerce took up the matter immediately and within eighteen hours Captain and Mrs. Daniels and their three children were comfortably housed in Waverly. The letter to the Waverly paper was written by Sherman Spear, now ad­ vertising manager for the Lutheran Mutual Life Insurance Co., and former alumni secretary at Taylor. As a result of the action of the citizens of Waverly, the town was awarded a check for 810,000 and a citation by the Fund for the Republic, Inc. "Sherm," a graduate of Taylor in 1940, had this to say about the situation: "No one in Waverly who had anything to do with this ever expected any kind of monetary award or any other special kind of recognition. What we did, we did because we thought it was right and courteous and kind. In fact, we told the Fund people that we didn't merit any special consideration. But they went ahead believing that the resultant publicity would cause what we did to be repeated over and over again. If so, then of course we are happy about it. I hope that someday what we did to fight racial prejudice will become so common that only the absence of such action will cause comment." Life magazine covered the story in the issue dated April 22. After it was all over, Sherm learned that Captain Daniels is a good friend of Capt. Joe Blades, son of Taylor graduate Joseph Blades, class of 1918, about whom Dr. B. W. Ayres has written in his booklet, Honor to Whom Honor is Due. 2 On the Cover Some new equipment to make easier the duplication of academic records has been added to the reg­ istrar's office. Two of the girls who assist Miss Olson in that office, Gladys Jibben and Charlotte Justice, are shown operating the machine as Dean Milo Rediger looks on. The pose suggested the article by Dr. Rediger, "What's Behind Your Tran­ script?", which gives a good view of what makes up an accedited college program.
