Born in Curryville, Ga., his mother a freed slave, he worked as a stove-molder, sang in a church choir, was encouraged to train his voice.

If the University invests, a certain number of shares will be devoted to obtaining guest privileges for the undergraduates which may be enjoyed on the payment of a daily fee.
