1. Who was the first white person to receive a doctoral degree and alter to become the first white person to serve as president of a predominatly white university. IF it's for extra credit find the answer yourself.
2. Why does it matter, racist!?!?!
3. W.E.B. Dubois i think
4. She probably wasn't the first, but she might have been the first woman to do so - Ruth Simmons was the former president of Smith College (predominantly white woman's college in MA) and now president of Brown University (mostly while Ivy League).
