not be deemed to have any power whatsoever that might in-
fringe upon the powers of the Board of Trustees of Morgan
College or the Board of Regents of the University of Mary-
land. The members of this Commission shall not receive sal-
aries but may employ such secretarial and clerical help as
may be needed to carry out the purpose of this Act. The ap-
propriations made in the Budget from time to time for schol-
arships and for the expenses of the Commission shall be paid
on proper vouchers submitted by the Commission.

7. The Commission shall have power to establish rules and
regulations to govern the award of these scholarships; pro-
vided, however, that two of these rules shall be (1) that no
scholarship shall be awarded to any student or prospective
student who would not be qualified for admission and accepted
by the University of Maryland, unless denied admission for
other reasons, for the particular work that such student de-
sires to undertake; and (2) that no student, after having been
awarded such a scholarship and while attending the college
or university or institute to which said scholarship may be
awarded, shall be qualified to hold the scholarship and to con-
tinue thereunder unless he maintains the same educational
standards as would have to be maintained if he were taking
the same work at the University of Maryland. It is declared
to be the intent of this Act that the scholarships herein referred
to shall supplement and not in any way duplicate work given
at Morgan or Princess Anne Colleges, so that members of the
negro race may receive the full benefit of the provisions of this
Act, provided, however, that scholarships granted to students
now at Morgan College, or to students at any other college,
shall be continued until graduation of said students, provided
graduation takes place within a reasonable time. The Com-
mission shall make a report of its activities 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 becoming a State-owned
College for Negroes, or whether it would be more practicable
for said College to remain under its present control with the
State continuing to grant substantial aid under an agreement
that it would carry on certain educational work for the State.
The Commission is hereby authorized to confer with the Board
of Trustees of Morgan College in order that it may present
in its report recommendations as to the most practicable and
desirable way of integrating Morgan College with the State's
system of higher education for Negroes.

provided in the 1938-1939 Budget for Morgan College, and all
