The Present Status of the Negro Private and Church-Related College

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the present status of the Negro' private and church-related college. An attempt has been made to develop a list of all of the Negro private and church-related junior and senior colleges in the United States, with an indication of their present status in terms of several categories of facts. In order to make these facts more meaningful, a comparison has been made of the status of the white' private and church-related college in the South, as well as that of the Negro public college. The sources of data utilized here have been varied and will be indicated by footnotes. However, the writer wishes especially to thank: Mr. Robert Quick, Director of Publications of the American Council on Education, for permission to use data from American Universities and Colleges, 1960; Dr. W. Robert Bokelman, Chief, Business Administration Section, and Mr. Henry G. Badger, Specialist in Higher Education Statistics, U. S. Office of Education, for making available certain unpublished data on finance; and
