That 'Negroes' Editorial...

Title: That 'Negroes' Editorial...
Issue Date: 10 October 1950

Note: There is some confusion about dating here, as two issues carried a date of October 3. Our online repository numbering has followed the order of the bound volume, which has one of them marked and ordered as October 10. However, given the two editorials, the second representing itself as a followup to the other by name, the wrong issue seems to have been relabeled October 10. The first issue in sequence has the scores from the October 7 football game, further indicating it is the later of the two. The link below is to the proper content, displaying the incorrect date.
Issue: Vol. 55, No. 2
Issue Editor: Sam Harvey
Description: Written after and in response to the enrollment of a Black student to the University of Tennessee's Law School.

A followup piece to "The Southern College and the Color Line," it reiterates the newspaper's stance: it does not want Black students to be admitted but recognizes that this will be inevitable and is nothing to panic about.
