The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers in Minneapolis. In 1875 he moved to Atlanta University, where his Yale classmate, Edmund Asa Ware, was president. Bumstead was an instructor in natural science until 1880, professor of Latin 1880-96, acting president 1886-87, and president 1888-~907. Strongly imbued with a missionary spirit combined with racial egalitarianism, Bumstead sought to give to the ''talented tenth'' of black college students broad cultural opportunities such as were available in the best white colleges. Thus, in significant respects his racial and educational philosophy differed from BTW's philosophy. A certain coolness in the relationship between the two men was probably one of the reasons BTW turned more often to Fisk than to Atlanta for faculty recruits. From A. N.
