...Mary Bethune, negress, founder of the Bethune Cookman College, which has four hundred colored students, ands conditions of so sanguine an aspect that she predicts, "Christian education will wipe out practically all race difficulties in the South." Although a Meneken might object to the qualification of the education, all will agree that such a forecast is most encouraging. The continued payment of the running expenses of this unendowed college, which amount to about $80,000 annually also shows that there is more than thought in the new attitude...
...useful the writers and judges of the essays must bear in mind that the object sought is a practical result, not a utopian solution of an imaginary problem. There is no use in proposing that Delmonico meals should be provided at Holly-tree prices, or in referring to the supposed success in other places of which there is insufficient knowledge.

With its large kitchens Memorial Hall is expensive to conduct unless the number of meals served is proportionate to the equipment; and it seems unreasonable to carry it on at a loss if no social purpose is promoted thereby. For this object the Hall can provide what commercial restaurants cannot; for it can furnish club tables which they cannot afford to reserve. But at present the students do not seem to regard meals as social occasions, or have any desire to get together at such times. There are, however, signs that they...
