"He Earned It"

The University of North Carolina Law School for the first time gave its highest honor to a Negro: Julius LeVonne Chambers, 24, the son of an auto mechanic, who scored the school's top grades and was named editor in chief of the North Carolina Law Review. "I have had my statement prepared for a long while," said Dean Henry Brandis. "It is just three words--he earned it." Editor Chambers is one of 35 Negroes in the University of North Carolina, which has been accepting Negroes since 1951. Said he: "I don't look upon myself as any sort of star or shining example. But I would hope that anything I achieve could be shown as proof to others of my race as well as the white race that Negroes can achieve these things."
