(Excerpt from American Negroes: A Handbook A hardy, color...)
Excerpt from American Negroes: A Handbook A hardy, colorful race of Indians had lived on this continent for thousands of years before any of the present peoples came. While the early relations between European settlers and native Indians were turbulent and bloody, Indians have contributed one of the brightest strands in the American tradition. Vain moderns should remember that the only 100 per cent Americans are red men who were building happy and satisfying lives on this continent when the ancestors of many of us were crude nomads roaming the forests of Britain and Gaul. During the past four hundred years the native Indians have been outnumbered and almost submerged by the great streams of people who have poured in from every land, having in common only their zest for freedom, their search for fresh Opportunities. Spanish conquerors and priests, French and Dutch traders, and the great tides of English colonists were followed by people from every country of Europe: Irish, Germans, Italians, Scandinavians, Russians, Poles, Czechs, Serbs, Greeks.

(Excerpt from History of the Class of 1906, Yale College, ...)
Excerpt from History of the Class of 1906, Yale College, Vol. 2 I heard it said that far away from here, on the wrong side of the deserts of Cathay and in a country dedicate to winter, are all the years that are dead. And there a certain valley shuts them in and hides them, as rumor has it, from the world, but not from the sight of the moon nor from those that dream in his rays. And I said: I will go from here by ways of dream, and I will come to that valley and enter in and mourn there for the good years that are dead. And I said: I will take a wreath, a wreath of mourning, and lay it at their feet in token of my sorrow for their dooms. And when I sought about among the flowers, among the flowers for my wreath of mourning, the lily looked too large and the laurel looked too solemn, and I found nothing frail enough nor slender to serve as an offering to the years that were dead. And at last I made a slender wreath of daisies in the manner that I had seen them made in one of the years that is dead. This, said I, is scarce less fragile or less frail than one of those deli cate, forgotten years. Then I took my wreath in my hand and went from here. And when I had come by paths of mystery to that romantic land where the valley that rumor told of lies close to the mountainous moon, I searched among the grass for those poor slight years for whom I brought my sorrow and my wreath. And when I found there nothing in the grass, I said: Time has shattered them and swept them away and left not even any faint remains.

He was born in Osceola, Nebraska, the youngest of seven children of William Norris Embree and Laura Ann (Fee) Embree.
His father, a telegrapher with the Union Pacific Railroad, moved the family westward as far as Wyoming.
When Edwin was seven, his father died of "telegrapher's fever" (a form of slow electrocution).
He lost interest in the ministry after his mother's death during his freshman year at Yale College.
His widow and the three youngest children moved to Berea, Kentucky, where Berea College and Berea Academy had been founded by her grandfather, the abolitionist and preacher John Gregg Fee.
Edwin's education and environment in Berea directed him toward a career in the ministry and accustomed him to racial integration.
He graduated from Yale in 1906, with a B. A. in philosophy, and became a journalist, an occupation with which he had supported himself during college.
From 1911 to 1917, he held various administrative positions at Yale concerned with alumni affairs and received the M. A. degree in 1914.
After a year as a reporter for the New York Sun he returned to New Haven, where he served in various editorial positions on the Yale Alumni Weekly, which was owned by Clarence S. Day, Jr. , who became Embree's close friend and advisor.
From 1911 to 1917, he held various administrative positions at Yale concerned with alumni affairs and received the M. A. degree in 1914.
Administrative duties at Yale brought Embree into contact with George Vincent, who became president of the Rockefeller Foundation in 1917 and invited Embree to join his staff. Embree spent ten years with the foundation, as secretary (1917 - 1923), director, Division of Studies (1924 - 1927), and vice-president (1927).
During this period, the Rockefeller Foundation made important contributions in the areas of biomedical research, medical education, and public health. Embree's service included extensive work with the foundation's overseas projects, particularly in China to help organize six medical missions to Peking Medical Union College.
He also traveled in Europe, Latin America, New Zealand, and Japan. From 1928 to 1948, Embree made his most important contributions to philanthropy and institutional change as president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund.
This fund, which was incorporated on October 30, 1917, and began with 20, 000 shares of Sears, Roebuck and Co. stock, was required by Rosenwald to expend its principal within twenty-five years of its founder's death. Under Embree's direction, until it dissolved on June 30, 1948, the fund pioneered in the fields of health and education, with particular emphasis on black Americans and social conditions in the South.
A generation of black, and some Southern white, artists and scholars completed their training and launched important projects as Rosenwald Fellows; recipients included Marian Anderson, Langston Hughes, Willard Motley, William Smith, Charles Johnson (president of Fisk University), and Ralph McGill (editor of the Atlanta Constitution).
At the fund's initiative, special positions were created in federal agencies during the New Deal to assure black representation in policy making. Robert Weaver, later the first black cabinet member, was a notable member of this group of administrators. The fund's institutional projects included building 5, 357 rural schools for blacks and libraries, sustaining Negro colleges, supporting innovations in prepayment for hospital care and mass control of contagious diseases, and providing institutional settings for black physicians to receive training in medical specialties.
The fund's activities in the field of health led directly to the development of the Blue Cross organization. Embree's most significant contribution to public policy was his stimulation and organization of research and planning on farm tenancy in the 1930's.
The fund's work in this area helped focus national attention on the exploitative labor and tenancy systems in the South and their harmful effects on the lives of both blacks and whites. Among the results of the fund's work was the creation and significant, if brief, life of the Farm Security Administration (1936 - 1941) under the direction of Embree's friend and colleague Dr. Will S. Alexander.
In addition to his work with the fund, Embree was one of the original supporters and the first chairman of the board of trustees of Roosevelt College in Chicago, chairman of the Chicago Mayor's Commission on Race Relations (1943 - 1948), and an officer of numerous educational and charitable organizations.
He maintained an active writing career, producing books and articles on education, race relations, and foundations. His most noted works are Brown America: The Story of a New Race (1931); Brown Americans: The Story of a Tenth of the Nation (1943), and, with Charles S. Johnson and Will S. Alexander, The Collapse of Cotton Tenancy (1935).
After the liquidation of the Rosenwald Fund in 1948, Embree served as president of the Liberian Foundation (1948 - 1949) and a consultant to the John Hay Whitney Foundation and the Greenwood Foundation (1949 - 1950).
He died of a heart attack in New York City; his ashes were interred at his family summer home, Lake Rousseau, Ontario.

Nurtured in Berea, he rejected the religious, moral, and political values of the town and became a cosmopolitan figure, an Episcopalian, and a Democrat.
But he remained faithful to the idealism of Berea, and was a major actor in movements for social justice in his generation.
Embree was a descendant of abolitionists who participated actively in the secularization and bureaucratization of advocacy for black causes.
He was a member of the Julius Rosenwald Fund.
On July 16, 1907, he married Kate Scott Clark of New Haven; they had three children: John Fee, Edwina Rogers, and Catherine Day.
