ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN SESSION AT MILES MEMORIAL Bishop C. H. Phillips Presiding; Prominent Citizens Welcome Delegates And Visitors By William H. Ferris The sixty-third [session?] of the Kentucky and Ohio [Conference?] of the C. M. E. Church [opened?] at Miles Memorial, Bland and Burnett streets, the Rev. N. H. Wiggins, pastor, Wednesday morning with the Rt. Rev. C. H. Phillips of Cleveland, Ohio, bishop, presiding. The conference, which brought to the city delegates and visitors, church leaders, ministers and laymen, men and women from Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, and national leaders of the church and race, was extended a most cordial welcome by the citizens of Louisville Wednesday night. As the editor of The Leader and the writer rode up to the church there were so many autos parked around Miles Memorial that it was difficult to get parking space near the church, and on the inside every seat was taken and the standing crowd was wedged tight in the rear and around the walls. Enthusiasm was the dominant characteristic of the welcome exercises. The most excellent welcome services were opened when Bishop Phillips, an aristocratic, but kindly looking man with the dignity of a Roman senator or an English Lord, a brown skin gentleman with an intellectual brow, keen eyes, fine cut but strong face, second bass voice, and [courteous?], self possessed manner, lined a hymn following the processional by the outstanding Miles Memorial choir, with Miss Lula Wiggins, daughter of the able pastor, at the piano. The invocation was offered by the Rev. W. E. Farmer, the dignified pastor of the Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church. Editor Master of Ceremonies Following the invocation, an anthem was sung by the choir, after which Bishop Phillips introduced Mr. I. Willis Cole, the master of ceremonies, [as?] a leading layman and editor of one of the race's nationally read newspapers. Mr. Cole thanked the bishop and briefly expressed his appreciation of the honor. H e then introduced in the order named well known persons who each made interesting welcome addresses in well chosen words. Dr. W. T. Merchant welcomed the conference on behalf of the city; Miss Zenobia Byars, the Miles Memorial Church; Mr. C. C. Trimble, the business men; Dr J. A. C. Lattimore, the professional men; Col. Joe Bowles, the fraternal organizations and Rev. E. G. Harris, the Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance. Responses were [made?] by Rev. C. L. Knox of Winchester, former pastor of the Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church here and Mrs. C. S. Bailey of Cincinnati. Miss R. Lillian Carpenter, supervisor of music of the normal school, rendered a piano solo and the program was interspersed with appropriate selections by the choir. Bishop Phillips Speaks In presenting Bishop Phillips for the closing remarks Mr. Cole said that he had many friends among the bishops of the colored Methodist deominations, naming Bishops Vernon, Clement, Jones and Walls, but said he, "If there is (Continued on page 8) SHOOTS MAN PROTECTING MOTHER James Dorsey, 18, is held in Jefferson County jail on a charge of murder and Joseph Hays, 47, is dead from a gun shot wound, the result of an altercation with Mrs. Gertrude Dorsey, mother of James.

When the college opened in February of 1931 it offered only the first two years of college work. Within sixty days of the opening this work was fully accredited and recognized as being of A-grade. With the opening of the fall term in September 1931, the upper division comprising the Junior and Senior classes was added to the work of the college. The teaching force was enlarged, and the course offerings were increased from seventeen to forty-four. Application was then made for full four year credit. The action of the committee of the University of Kentucky is the answer to this application. Thus, within a year of the formal opening of the college, it has been recognized as a fully accredited, standard, four year institution. The enrollment of the college has kept pace with its additional work. The eighty-three students of last February have increased to one hundred and eighty-five at the present time.
