Said Rev. D. Baker, D. D., Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,
Washington Square, Philadelphia:
“I am of the decided opinion that the question of color should not
enter in the least into the choice of professors or trustees in
educational institutions; if a colored man is qualified, it is not
unlikely that he might be on this account especially useful as an
educator of his own race.”
Rev. W. P. Breed, D. D., Pastor of West Spruce Street Presbyterian
Church, Philadelphia, said:--
“On general principles the alumni of colored institutions should
most undoubtedly be treated precisely as the alumni of all other
institutions. The colored people are doing nobly, and they have my
earnest wishes for their success and advancement.”
