New Home For Colored Students

Has Been Opened by Mrs. Porter Cole

A UNIVERSITY BUILDING

Has Been Converted Into a Club for Negro Boys by the Jubilee Singer

A building owned by the University has been turned into a rooming, boarding and club house for colored students. This is the flrst time that a eolóred club has been on University property.

The "Club" will not be maintained by the University, the building being merely University property.

It has been rented to Mrs. Porter Cole, the Fisk Jubilee singer, whose home is in Detroit. It is situated at 919 N. University avenue. A large number of colored boarders will be taken. The rooms will accommodate ten students. They are very plain. One suite with white plastered walls has white iron beds, and white furniture. Another has dark papered walls and is finished with dark colored woods. In speaking of her venture, Mrs. Porter Cole said: "I am surprised at the amount of iII feeling which there is here against colored students. I don't want to placard this house with the sign 'colored'. I want colored students to feel just as comfortable here as a white student would in his quarters. I want him to feel 'at home.' I shall take only boys for roomers."
