No charter requiring the teaching of racial superiority, or barring students of a particular religions denomination, will be countenanced, the trustees of Jefferson Military College, in Natchez, Miss., declared today. The statement was made in reply to a reported offer by George W. Armstrong, notorious multi-millionaire backer of fascist and anti-Semitic causes, to will $50,000,000 to the school on condition that enrollment be limited to white Christians.
