FOREWORD HK anxiety which always attends the launching of a new project, no matter how insignificant or grand it may be, is ours. And so with certain hopes and fears and aims we present to the friends and well-wishers of Prairie View this pioneer copy of The Prairie. In it we have given you a glimpse of our lives, something of the things that move us toward the high destiny which the founders of Prairie View have sought to make possible for us. We have placed into it something more and yet something which is unseen. It is the spirit of Prairie View, the spirit which has made it possible and which assures its perpetuity as the guiding spirit of the Negro youth of Texas. And thus we extend to those who may love the things which make for good this volume of The Prairie, hoping that it will not only inspire but will also make glad the hearts of those who have something of the broadness of The Prairie in their nature, something of its expansiveness in their hearts. imDUftwjr PUA1U1C •- ’I 7
