NEW YORK.--"In the realm of education we are in a critical-- thrilling - period of transition from an undemocratic pattern of segregation to the democratic pattern of full integration." Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, UN Director of Trusteeship, stated at the opening of the 1954 United Negro College Fund nation-wide campaign held here last week.
This year's goal is $1,750,000, the largest quota yet sought by the Fund in support of its 31 member colleges.
"With regard to higher education," Dr. Bunche declared, "the Negro college, with its interracial faculties and its first steps toward an interracial student body, constitutes a sure and sturdy bridge for the advanced educational democracy."
Declaring that the significance of the meeting was far greater than the United Negro College Fund campaign which it inaugurated, Dr. Bunche emphasized that the meeting "symbolizes and reflects in a most impressive way the nature and strength of our American democracy."
"What is really involved in this effort of the Negro College Fund is to do all that we can to ensure that qualified young Negro Americans seeking higher education have, and solely because of race, no less opportunity for that education than other young Americans," he added.
