Ransom, member of the NAACP le gal Committee and Dean of ^be Howard University School of Law. He argued that the courses which the plaintiffs sought to study wera not available at any state suppor ed schools other than the Univers ity and that to bar them from the University of Tennessfee constituted race discrimination and was a vio lation of constitutional rights based solely on race and color. The court held that “equivalent facilities have been authorized by the state legislature by an act of 1941 and that a "further decision of the issues becomes unnecessary and improper.” The court said further: “that the legislature of 1941 took no rights away from the appellants On the contrary the right to equal ity in education with white stud ents was specifically recognized, and methods by Which these rights would be recognized was set forth, in the legislation. What more could be demanded? We find no merit in any of the assignments of error. The result is that the degree of the chancellor must be affirmed.” The case was filed in Knox coun ty Chancery Court in 1939 by local counsel Carl A. cowan and Z. Alex ander Looby.
