Historical note
The May 1922 issue of The Crisis reported that "the Besmanbomara Literary Society has been organized by colored students at Colgate University, Hamilton, N.Y. Its object is the production of a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the achievements of the Negro in all the higher pursuits of life. All men who fulfill the following requirements are eligible for membership: 'Sympathy with the objects of society and affiliation by blood with the darker races.' The society meets weekly, each meeting being featured by a paper on some phase of racial progress."
