JUBILEE HALL, FISK UNIVERSITY, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
Fisk is the second largest arts college for colored people in the world: was founded in 1866 by the American Missionary Association; and was recently called a “great National University” by the United States Commissioner of Education. The famous Jubilee Singers of this school rescued the Plantation Melodies of the colored people from loss, and raised money for the erection of the building above. The institution has 45 teachers, 500 pupils, and property valued at nearly $550,000.
WHITE CHURCH BOARDS MAINTAINING COLORED SCHOOLS.
The extent and character of the educational work done by the white churches are emphatic evidence that these churches have recognized the great opportunity for service in behalf of a struggling people. They have given their money to build and maintain the schools, they have sent their sons and daughters to teach in them, and they have rendered a service to humanity that is destined to receive recognition.
