■ cide officers said, “I have had trou-
ble with Frank before, and he had
settled it But tonight he started it

change its mind. The oldest alum-

the Rev. A. G. Townsend, of Sum-

B. A. Early, alumni secretary,
stated he had “no idea". that Bev.
Townsend was a Negro who grad-
uated from the university during
reconstruction days when it was in
colored hands. Records of the
period were destroyed, but it was
understood a few white students at-
tended the college at that' time.
A news dispatch disclosed Town-
send’s identity as a member of the
class of 1876, a retired Negro cler-
gyman living at Sumter. On hear-
ing of it Early said: "The Rev. Mr.
Townsend will not be considered
for the award by the alumni; coun-
cil. Members of the alumni assocra-
tion, which raised funds for the
cane, are all white and conternplat-
ed that the award should of course
go to one of the white alumni."
