THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1937 THE GAZETTE. XENIA. OHIO INAUGURATED IN CEREMONY ON THURSDAY (Continued from Page One) Former Xenian Honored At Muskingum Birthday XENIA'S FIRST SIT-DOWN ENDS PEACEFULLY WITH COMPROMISE proper proportion when the challenging interest of" a great cause beckons him to duty. So today I assume with a deep sense of humility this responsibility, feeling keenly the gravity of the situation." Wiloerforce was founded in August, 1856 and represents, Pres- id'ent Walker said, "the strivings' of a group to express itself through the channels of an enlightened and educated mind. It is indeed challenging whe-n we think that i back in 1S56 there were in existence in Ohio only twenty schools of higher leaniing, while today there are fifty such institutions in this state." Tracing the early -beginning of the university and pointing out Wilberforee has graduated 4,689 students, President Walker emphasized the institution has kept abreast of the changing modes of educational experimentations and "at each turn of the decade she moved- her curriculum in harmony the existing standards set by educational thinkers and leaders." Declaring there is no such thing as "Negro education" but that there is such a thing as "education for Negroes," the president made a p-lea for the latter "to provide the people with the necessary weapons that they would 'be called upon to use in the arena of life, so that we will not using unsuited implements against impossible conditions." There exists, he said, a "Negro science of society, a 'Negro church, a Negro religion, a Negro home and a Negro people, all of which n-eed interpretation and explanation." Wilberforee, the president declared, "must set her sail upon the ocean'of intellectual endeavor toward new- Her chart and compass must be the abiding faith in her own ability to change her course to meet the changing needs of the time.

She must apply the best that experience can offer. She must use the various methods of social experimentation and await the resultant product. She must not fear th storms of doubt that may arise in the course of this voyage, but with an assurance that comes with experience and faith in one's own ability to attain definite ends, she must move, leading all America into the n'ew paths of adjustment." The installation charge to President Walker was delivered by Bishop Keverdy C. Hansom, president of the university board of trustees, who declared "the things most valuable and sacred here are the standards, the traditions, the high ideas and the spirit of Wil- berforee." These, he said, "are beyond price; they cannot be bought with money; they are not subject to barter or sale, they must not be surrendered for any consideration whatsoever. They should be upheld, but always in a state of sufficient fluency to meet the changing conditions of the changing time." Bishop Ransom expressed the hope Dr.

Walker's administration would stand as a "witness and a demonstration of the advancement of higher education, tending to make Wilberforee distinct and unique among the educational institutions of America." Judge Arthur H. Day, Cleveland, of the Ohio supreme court, was the recipient of one of five honorary degrees b-stowed by the university as a f'- of the inauguration progr: He received a doctor of laws degree. The same degree was awarded Miss Elsie Austin, Cincinnati, a Wilberforee trustee; Robert L. Detroit, and Robert H. Rift'e, Cleveland realtor, all Negroes.

Rev. J. D. Howell, Detroit, also colored, received a D. D.

degree. A letter from Governor Martin L. Davey, extending "hearty congratulations" to President Walker on the occasion of his inauguration, was read at the ceremony. President Walker, a native of Vincent, British West Indies, has been a citizen of the United States uventy-seven years. He was formerly, for four years, a trustee of the state branch of Wilberforee, and was serving the pastorate of an A.

M. E. church at Cleveland when elected head of the university a year ago. He is now working on his Ph. D.

degree at Western Reserve in Cleveland. Because of inclement weather, an academic processional that was to have preceded the installation exercises, was cancelled. Visiting educators, bishops, general officers, ministers and laymen of I lie A. E. Church, university alumni, faculty and students assembled in Jones Auditorium.

Following the ceremony, the president's luncheon was served in Shorter Hall dining room. Between 4 and 5:30 p. m. the president's reception was to be given in Arnett Hall parlors. The closing event, at 8 p.

m. -will be the president's reception for the students in Beacom Gymnasium. Short-lived was Xenia's first "sit-down" strike, which involved two "'bartenders, two cooks and a Negro porter employed at Day's Grill, 41 W. Main St. The stri.ke began Thursday morning and ended at 1 o'clock in hoth sides, Day said.

The sit- down had been proclaimed early Thursday on a cardboard placard displayed on a counter in the establishment. Customers were not lacking, but business was at a standstill. Day had said jokingly: the afternoon when the proprietor i "I'm afraid to turn my back and not to be outdone, had sat down with his help, announced a compromise agreement, satisfactory to all concerned, had been reached. Day had previously indicated an settlement was likely just as soon as he and his em- ployes "got tired looking at each Under terms of the settlement, Day said, the employes would not get a flat 10 per cent wage increase which they demanded, but if the volume of business increased, they would get higher pay accordingly and in proportion. The employes will not be required to attempt to sell anything, I sat down with my help to see that there was no violence."

Howard G. Robinson, superintendent of the state bureau of criminal investigation, who is aiding Canton officers, said "we're groing to crack this case. We've got plenty of money." A reward of 53,000 has been posted for solution of the crime and Mayor James Seccombe has called a special meeting- 'of city council for Friday night to request an additional $10.000 to hire an outside investigation if necessary.
