Ruling Bars Segregation at Girard College
The Supreme Court ruled that Girard College in Philadelphia, run by City Trust of Philadelphia, is an agency of Pennsylvania and cannot racially discriminate. It held that denying two Negro boys admission violated the 14th Amendment, aligning with the court’s 1952 school desegregation stance. The case ties to Girard’s large endowment and historic trusteeship and confirms state action in the school’s admissions.
