Abbott There is a growing ten­ dency on tlu* parts of men and women of our race to­ ward self-segregation. This tendency4manifests itself in school and college activities and social functions in the North. It .springs from that self-conscious attitude, based upon an inferiority complex which makes certain of us feel that w< are more com­ fortable when we are “ carry­ ing on” in separate groups. A conspicuous example of this trend was shown us in a dance given bv a fraternity group in one of the halls of the University of Chicago last Friday night. At this u- niversity it can be truthfully said that there is no segrega­ tion. The school more nearly approaches a real democrat­ ic institution than anv of the New York, N. Y.

Rockefeller and sought a loan of $100,000 to further a worthy project. Mr. Rocke­ feller listened attentively, ad­ mitted the feasibility of the proposition, but declined to make the loan. “ I will do better than that” , he said, “ 1 will walk down the street with you and take you to lunch.” The young man had no difficulty in raising the re­ quired amount from other financiers.
