        PROF. SAMUEL M. WILLIAMS, a young colored man of Lapeer, and
      graduate of the university, who went to Washington to enter the
      census office, has recently begun attendance at the Columbia law
      school in that city. Being the first colored man to enter the school,
      some of the other students, most of whom are government clerks, etc.,
      made a fuss about it and tried to have the man of dusky hue bounced
      out on general principles, but this could not be accomplished. At
      this the junior class was called together to take action, and instead
      of "going back on" WILLIAMS, a resolution to the contrary was passed
      and the colored man still holds the fort.
