"... Speaking at the closing meeting of the lyceum, Mr Napear expressed the opinion that the American Negro's most forward step since slavery has been in education. Citing the rise of institutions aided by white philanthropists, he was warm in praise of Booker T. Washington... The meeting was presided over by Robert T. Bess, who said the lyceum would continue to bring speakers with social messages when the sessions are resumed"
