Among black students there is a strong and definite, indeed presumably unanimous, desire for the creation of a social and cultural center for black students. Such a center is conceived as something of a counter-part of Hillel House, the Newman Center, or the International Center. Such a center would provide the black students opportunities different from, but in addition to, the more general social and cultural life of the College, and of the Houses...
Wills' conservative heroes must meet high intellectual standards-St. Augustine, Cardinal Newman, John Ruskin and, his greatest hero of all, Samuel Johnson.

Joyce Gary saw the novel as Truth, and his prodigious labors in fiction were called forth by a lonely conviction of its high importance. He subscribed to Cardinal Newman's celebrated notion that what the autobiography does for the life of a particular man, the novel must do for mankind. Gary needed every certitude of dedication to sustain a creative career that began late and even so, suffered from early neglect. When he published his first novel in 1932 (at the age of 43), he had already been struggling at his writing for nearly 20 years...
