Hampton Chorus SingsSpirituals
Last Friday night the college andfriends were entertained at Knov.-ItonHall by singers fro-m the Hampton In-stitute. This Institute is an academynear Fort Monroe, Virginia, whichwas founded in 1868 for "the prac-tical development of N.egro leader-ship." The singe:'s and their man-ager Who \vere here Friday are allgraduates of the Institute, and havebeen touring this country and Europe,giving r.ecitals, and broadcasting overthe various radio chains, in order toacquaint the world with what theyare doing. These singers never chargeany admission for their wonderfuimusic hours, as they are not touringto make money, but merely to inter-est the public in the Institute. What-ever contributions they accept aretaken only to -defray their travellingexpenses. These singers amply justi-fied Friday the policy of the founderof the Institute, General S. C. Arm-strong, wh-o said, "Educate the wholeman is the idea; fit the pupil for thelife he is lik.ely to lead."
