Excerpt from The Story of Jubilee Singers: With Their Songs F isk university is emphatically a Missionary Institution. The people in whose interest it has been founded were, six teen years ago, slaves. The most of the students are depend ent upon themselves, and must earn their own support while securing their education. The colleges of no section of our country rely upon their students, even though wealthy, for the salaries of professors. Colleges and Theological Seminaries must be endowed, or raise the larger part of their annual ex penses by constant appeals to the liberality of their friends. The current expenses of Fisk University have, thus far, been principally met by the American Missionary Association, but with the hope that the success of its work would create for it friends who would gladly endow it. The institution is most favorably located with respect to healthfulness of climate, accessibility, and surrounding in¿uences. Nashville is very properly called the Athens of the South, because of the num ber and importance of its educational establishments.
