to the General Assembly of 1939, and shall include therein a report of
any study of higher education for negroes, and the State's relation thereto,
that, in its discretion, the Commission may make; and especially shall the
Commission consider the desirability and possibility of Morgan College

order that it may present in its report recommendations as to the most
practicable and desirable way of integrating Morgan College with the
