Thesis on “The History of Tillotson College, 1881-1952”
Author: Williams, Mabel Eleanor Crayton
As Lovinggood noted, the teaching of Classics to African Americans elicited various criticisms. In this 1967 thesis by Tillotson alumna and long-serving Austin public school teacher Mabel Williams, we learn about some of those objections, such as the misalignment of Latin and Greek with the practical needs of Black students.
