...contrast between the two schools was clear, but even if Shaw had been just as good a school as Sousa, the parents of Spottswood Boiling and his friends would not have been satisfied. They were attacking something deeper than disparity of facilities. Their target was the principle of segregation. Said Spottswood's widowed mother, Mrs. Sarah Boiling, a $57.60-3-week bookbinder for the Federal Government's General Services Administration: "I think that to know how to deal with all people you've got to start as a child in school.

The contrast with the nation's fraternities is evident: the clubs have no athletic teams. They enter no candidate in local beauty contests. For the most part, they permit no women in the club houses.
