Church Schools And Integration
A survey conducted recently - for a commission of ~the
National Council of Churches indicated that church-related

private colleges in the South are ~lagging far behind" pubiic institutions in desegregation.

The survey was directed by Dr. Herman H. Long, Nash- EMBARRASSED BY OUR STRONG SUPPORT. OF

ville, Tenn. He is director of the Race Relations Department
of- the United Church of Christ. He obtained data for second semester of 1960 from 120 church-related schools in
15 southern states.

Dr. Long ventures, like many other religious leaders,
that church-related schools should. lead rather than lag behind in achieving racial inclusiveness. However, he ~concludes that ~legal pressures~ for integration, which bear
only upon public institutions, have thus far been considerably more effective than ~moral pressures~ which presumably influence church-related schools.

The survey indicates that 58 percent of the white (public) colleges in the South showed some manners of desegregation and also 37 percent of Negro colleges supported
by state funds. Among church-related schools, only 30 percent had admitted some Negro students. Of the group of
church-related schools which had traditionally served only
Negro students about 31 percent had enrolled some white
students. Paper

Dr. Long reveals that the number of Negro students

attending formerly all-white church-related colleges totaled,

about three-tenths of one percent of the aggregate student
body of those colleges. Negro schools in the survey, 91 percent, declared their readiness to accept any qualitied students regardless of race.

- His conclusion is that ~instead of leading~~churchrelated schoots ~~seem- ta be following public institutions
which appear te tia~ responding to legal and political: forces
more effectively than church-related schools re d to
the moral and religious influences central to their church-~
relatedness.~ (

Seemingly the issue of~ integration of schools related to
the Christian Church might~ lead not follow the spirit of
comity unfolding in the world of temporal things. This is
contemplated on encountering formal expressions of comity
in business or industry, in various aspects of social action
(civic) and elsewhere throughout all phases of wholesome
endeavor, the amusement and sports world, etc.

However, there is a lot of ground to be covered in
bridging the gap between comity in the practices of Christianity and doctrines proclaimed unceasingly over our nation. There are areas outside of the spiritual entity in which -
legal and political forces have induced retarded semblances
ot comity~now affording great expectation. Whereas within the spiritual entity and unseeming conflict appears to
prevail in flaunting the dominant theme of the Christian
way of life. ~The Indianapolis Recorder.

Letter To TheEDITOR

I cannot. understand why the
peopse OL America are so prejuuiceu against one another, espec~ally against Negroes. When I
came to| America from Italy six
years ago, I was told.to stay away
trom Negroes because they were
bad, stupid, and could hold only
the lower class jobs. Since this
was indoctrinated into my mind
earlier, | believed it for a long
time, until I entered college.
Now I know that I~ was very
wrong.

that they flee away as chaff
