The College analyzed here is small—approximately 600 students and 50 faculty —rural, and prides itself on two things; its existence as an integrated community in the deep South, and its academic worth (unquestionably the best predominantly Negro college in the state). In its existence as a black community with a white minority, the College is a rather unique laboratory for our time. Although in 1966-68 approximately two-thirds of the faculty were white, blacks dominated the administration and positions of ultimate decision-making power; in a student body of nearly six hundred students, there were only 12 to 13 whites per semester. There was no question in anyone's mind but that this was a black community whose power it was to accept, reject, and judge the white minority. The main body of this study is the product of anonymous written responses to a series of questions on attitudes toward white students received from 58 percent of the students and 71 percent of the faculty. (The 343/595 or 58 percent student response represents 69 percent of the freshmen and sophomores and 37 percent of the juniors and seniors—a difference that reflects a change in the students' response to "compulsory activities" during their four years at the College, such as the College assembly at which the questionnaires were completed. By class the students responded as follows: freshmen, 174/234 or 74 percent; sophomores, 88/145 or 61 percent; juniors, 51/104 or 49 percent; seniors, 30/112 or 26 percent. Thirty-four out of 48 faculty members responded.) The study was begun formally in the Spring of 1967, in connection with an intensive "Self-Study' undertaken as part of the College's application for reaccreditation. It reflects aspects of black attitudes during a period of transition. At the start of the 1966-67 academic year, there were only the vaguest beginnings at the College of the upsurge of black separatism and anti-white nationalism which on the national level came to be loosely called "black power." By the end of the 1967-68 academic year, these feelings were the accepted litany among the students, although the number of those who had ever stood up for them as a principle of action was as yet small indeed.
