The fortunate student, the first of his race to win such a high honor, is Alan LeRoy Locke, of No. 712 S. Twelfth Street, Philadelphia. His appointment was announced Tuesday by the committee as the result of its deliberations, and the examination of all claims for the honor made last Saturday in the office of Provost Harrison, of the University of Pennsylvania. Locke was born in Philadelphia on September 12, 1885, and is therefore in his 22nd year. He received his early education in the public schools, and went from the Close Grammar School, Seventh and Dickinson streets to the Central High School in 1898. Always studious and quick to learn he usually kept at the head of his classes. He graduated from the High School with honors in 1892, and went from there to the Philadelphia School of Pedegogy, from which he graduated No. 1 in June, 1904. In the fall of the same year he entered Harvard University, where he is still a student. Since going there he has won successively the Price Greenleaf, Rebecca Perkins and Bowditch scholarships, and last December was awarded a detur in recognition of his scholastic attainments. Mr. Locke won a place in the first group of Harvard Students, and is now after honors in philosophy. He is coxswain of his crew at the University. When he finishes his course at Oxford it is his intention to travel through Europe and study the school systems in vogue, and upon his return to America will take up teaching as a profession. The successful student is well known. He will leave for Harvard in a day or two and will sail for England in September.

Student Name Emma Roberts Summary A young girl and her male teacher physically fight each other in the classroom after “war was declared” between them, the girl proving “that the American girl is abundantly able to take care of herself.” Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19060310&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Young Miss Whips Her Male Teacher Fight creates pandemonium in a school-house Girl “sasses” pedagogue Latter soon learns his mistake when he attempts to punish her--Help finally comes to his rescue. Maryland, N.Y.-- Last Friday was a day of unusual activity in the school house in the Gurney district on Crumhorn. On the previous Wednesday, so the story goes, the teacher, Charles Tubbs, had an altercation with two of his scholars, Otis Blencoe and Frank Hitchman, about eating candy in school. Both were told by Tubbs to go home. Hitchman obeyed, but the Blencoe lad refused to budge. When leaving the school house that afternoon he was told not to return until the following noon. He replied that if he could not return in the morning he would not come at all. He did not present himself at school the following day. On Friday a bout of words took place between the teacher and Miss May Blencoe, the 15-year-old and buxom sister of Otis. It is alleged that the young miss “sassed” the teacher, who seemed to think the dignity of his position had been assailed, and he ordered her to take her belongings and go home. This she peremptorily refused to do. At this point war was declared, and the teacher cleared the deck for action. Seizing a heavy stick, he demanded the young lady’s hand- not in marriage-- but for the purpose of playing a tatoo on her pal,. She refused to to present her hand, and the blows from the stick descended thick and fast on her shoulders. This was more than her American girlhood could endure, and she made a catch -as-catch can rush on the rural pedagogue, with the result that he found his pedal extremities flying in the air and his black resting on the uncushioned seat which had been occupied by his strenuous pupil. This was only the opening of hostilities. The girl had scored in the first round, but the schoolmaster was determined not to be done by a schoolgirl. Pandemonium reigned supreme. The small children rna from the building crying from fright. The teacher called upon one of the pupils for assistance, but this was refused. Finally his hands found the white throat of his adversary; but this did not work, for a longer arm than his own fetched down on his larynx and a muscular hand made his breathing heavy and difficult. The young girl’s hair was disheveled and hanging down her shoulders. Seeing this, Tubbs grabbed the golden locks, and it is said he gave them a severe pull. This redoubled the anger of Miss Blencoe, and she raised her assailant up and threw him on the floor with a dull thud. With a firm hand she gently pressed the teacher’s windpipe, while her knee made his vest grate on his spinal column. In this manner she held him until assistance came, when she released him, and, taking a younger member of the family with her, she quickly left the schoolhouse. It is said that her waist was nearly torn from her body and that her back and shoulders were literally covered with bruises. She has demonstrated what has often been proven before, that the American girl is abundantly able to take care of herself.

W. H. Stokes feels that the Bible class is making good use of the opportunity which is given to it. A large number of young men met him last Tuesday night and much interest was manifested by them. Rev. Stokes makes the study extremely interesting. All who wish to study the Bible are invited to attend this class. Members meeting was held last Friday night. The reports by the different committees showed that new interest in being taken in the work. We were happy to see that there were many strangers in to hear the explanation on the Sunday School Lesson by Rev. D. W. Davis. The Reverend is always glad to meet a stranger. Come and spend an hour with us and you will be helped. Much interest is being taken in the meetings conducted at the city jail by Brother James Hernes. Last Sunday our Brother was found at his post of duty ready to help those who needed help. The rooms are too small for the boys. 115 gathered at our building last Sunday to hear Mrs. Benjamin Jackson, who gave the boys a synopsis of the building which we occupy. Her heart was so full of joy that she hardly could express herself, when she remembered that she was a slave girl up on this sport and to know that God had permitted her to see the day when she could stand up as a free woman and speak to 115 boys upon the same spot under the Banner of Freedom. Her address has already been repeated by the boys, and will ever be remembered. Solos were rendered by Mrs. Jackson and Miss Johnson which were highly appreciated by the boys. A very timely subject was presented to the men last Sunday by Rev. J. J. Wood on, “Backsliding.” Our brothers gave some very straight thoughts. Director C. C. Williams conducted the singing. Mr. S. L. Moore will address the boys Sunday at 4pm. All boys are invited. Rev. W. F. Graham, pastor of the 5th St. Bapt. Church, will address the men Sunday at 5:30 and music by a female quartette of the 5th Street Baptist Church. Let not a man miss this meeting—for men only. Get ready to go to Klondike Monday, Fed. 28th, at Price’s new Hall.

The colored man appeared at the farm house of McKinney Watkins, a quarter of a mile from Jackson, this morning, and asked for food. He was refused and left the house. Soon after Mrs. Watkins saw him returning, but before he reached the door she picked up her baby and ran screaming from the house. Her husband, supposed that she was about to be assaulted, captured the man half a mile from the house, being joined by several of his neighbors. The colored man was wounded by pistol-shot and easily captured. He was taken to jail, but a large crowd assembling, the Sheriff wired Governor Candler for assistance. The Governor quickly summoned the Capital City Guards and dispatched them to Jackson.

Item Type Article Image No URL The yard-conductor at Byrd Street Station allegedly stole multiple pairs of shoes. The Planet compares his punishments for stealing with that of a black man. Topic Crime and Justice Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Harry Marshall, yard conductor at the Byrd Street Station, was arrested early last night while in the act, it is alleged, of stealing a quantity of shoes from cases in the freight depot. He was seen by Special Officer Perkins, who made over to Policeman Atkinson. Marshall is twenty-six years old, and hales from Manchester. The evidence seems to be against him, as five pair of shoes and two pair rubbers were found in his possession. He took his arrest calmly, and had little to say. Does this indicate that all white men steal shoes when they get a chance or that only a few of them are guilty of these criminal indiscretions? We have our opinion, but ask that the same tape line be used in measuring the chicken-stealing Negro that is employed in getting the dimensions of the shoe-stealing white man.

Its articles have the proper ring. The white man, Shipp had been criminally intimate with Brown’s wife, and visited her when her husband was unexpectedly present. Hot words followed between the husband and the white man and the murder resulted. In the face of the Fact that Brown was unceremoniously murdered in his own home by the white man who had so grievously wronged him, a white jury found the murderer “not guilty” and he walked from the court-room a free man. There was no denial of the murder. The counsel for he defense set up the plea that Shipp, the white man went to Brown, the colored man to tell him that he did not intend to be criminally intimate with his wife any longer. The names of the white jurymen who disgraced themselves by rendering such a verdict are W. H. Boswell, J.M. Montague, B. P. Connell, J. S. Hutshull, J. H. Gaines, John Sallee, John Funk, O. B. Grimes, J. D. Turner, J. W. Hodges, John Lancaster and J. B. Cropper. What say the white men of the South to this verdict? What should Brown have done? What steps would a white man in Brown’s place have taken? Which would have been on trial if Brown had been white? Which would have been on trial if Brown had been white? Which would have been dead? Colored men, act like white men. They set us an example in these matters; let us imitate them. Lynch law must go!
