HONOR BY AMERICAN COLLEGE BODY
Aside from the big fact of win-
ning of the game Armistice Day, it
was a great occasion for Wiley and
Marshall.
Hundreds of old grads and friends,
in addition to the caravan of Lang-
ston rooters and sympathizers, includ-
ing approximately fifty principals of
high schools from Texas, Oklahoma,
and other nearby states were in town
to witness the much bruited contest.
Prearrangements had been made te
accommodate and entertain the visi-
tors by Wiley and its local friends.
The officials and other men who
reached Marshall on Thursday were
given a stag smoker that night. On
Friday, all out-of-town visitors were
guests at various house parties on
and off the Wiley campus. Everyone
not otherwise provided for was serv-
ed special Armistice Day dinner in
the school dining hall. President Do-
gan’s home was stopping place for
President Young and party, and gen-
eral headquarters for visitors as they
assembled in
before the tim
preliminary way just
I of the game. Lang-
ston and its president are to be con-
gratulated upo i the size and dignity
of the crowd/from Oklahoma. Es-
pecially did the young people from
Langston including those in the band
and pep squad deport themselves as
becomes persons of culture. Dr. Do-
gan referred to the fine group of
Langston students and the favorable
impression they made upon him both
in their enthusiastic loyalty to the
team and in their well-mannered bear-
ing as they moved about the campus
in their numerous contacts.
Wiley draws heavily from Okla-
homa in its student enrollment and:
ly its traditions, local influence, pres-
tige, strategic location with respect
to population field, and mutual ad-
vantages for future development,—
aB commend wiley as lending itself
almost perfectly to the idea.
This is in line with the thinking of
some of the leading educators of the
country as well as in accord with the
plans and suggestions of some of the
organized agencies interested in ex-
tending the facilities for a better
type of higher education for Negroes
in the South. In view of the limited
facilities offered by the state, it would
be a great boost to Negro education
in this section no less tima a deserv-
ing recognition of the splendid work
which M. W. Dogan has done at Wi-
ley College if that institution is made
the basis for the development af a
center for higher education of Ne-
groes in the Southwest.
“It doesn’t hurt our religion nor our
faith, to take medicine and to use doe-
tors, since the curative elements in
nature prescribed by the physician,
were placed in the earth for our bene-
fit by the Lord, and were recognized
by Jesus, in his own work of healing
“Divine healing is generally misun-
derstood by those practicing it. They
say there is no such thing as sick-
mess, and pain, not even death, but
this is contrary to Bible teaching,
which says, in the Revelations, “And
there shall be no more pains, nor cry-
ing, for God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes.” Remember, that
cannot be done away with which does
not exist.

like a real home-coming. This was a daughter, Lillian Marie.
Langston’s first official visit to Mar-
shall, and President Dogan seemed
extremely anxious that the occasion
not be marred by any lack of courtesy
to the visitors, especially in light of
the fine treatment that had been ac-
corded the Wiley group on their sev-
eral trips to Langston. So far as af-

ley was a perfect hostess, and there
is no doubt that the occasion served
to further cement the friendly rela-

Wiley has always sought to extend
its contacts wherever it could be done
on friendly terms. All who witness-
ed the events and activities of this
Armistice Day at Wiley will carry
with them memories of a stirring na-

Marshall, Texas.—Recent informa-
tion to the effect that Wiley receives
recommendation for recognition by
the Association of American Colleges
comes as good tidings to President
Dogan, the Wiley faculty and student
body, and no doubt will be bailed by
friends as another indication of the
growing prestige of the school. The
way in which Wiley has forged its
way into the limelight with the other
leading Negro colleges of the country
is all the more remarkable because as
educational centers go Texas is usual-
ly considered out of direct line of
travel which makes it all the more
difficult for institutions of whatever
sort to flourish so easily as in states
more nearly the center of things.
Absolute indefatigable preseverance
on part of President Dogan is the
price paid for the enviable position
Wiley occupies among Negro colleges,
and it would not be at all surprising
should the new movement under way
for revamping the educational system
so far as higher education for Ne-
groes in the South is concerned em-
brace Marshall with Wiley as the nu-
cleus for one of the centers. Certain-
