ALMA MATER Reared against the eastern sky, Proudly there on hilltop high. Far above the lake so blue. Stands Old Howard firm and true; There she stands for truth and right, Sending forth her rays of light, Clad in robes of majesty, O, Howard, we sing to thee. CLASS SONG ACADEMY 19 Dedicated especially to those Students who cannot complete their secondary courses at Howard. L Four years we’ve spent in Howard’s halls, Now we must go for Duty calls; School-days were sometimes happy and glad. Sometimes, alas! they were dark and sad; The Future beckons, we must away; But in our hearts we will hold for aye The memory of Old Howard. CHORUS Farewell teachers, kind and true! Farewell, schoolmates, all, to you! Farewell, classmates,—ones most near! And of all to us most dear! On a new way we are starting, But we feel most sad at parting— Farewell, Howard, farewell all, We must follow Duty’s call. II. In life we do our very best In hopes to gain the blessed rest; Whatever lot to each may fall We trust success may come to all. But let life bring what e’er it will. Our hearts will fondly cherish still The memory of Dear Howard. CHORUS By Ruth E. Butler.

cherished motto is: HARD WORK, FAIR FLAY, CLEAN LIFE. With the close of the current school year, the Academy will cease to function. After devoting its life, during the fifty-two years, entirely to the uplift of a backward people, it will presently close its doors. This does not mean that the University has ceased to interest itself in the secondary education of Negro youth. It means that the energies of thp University thus released will be dedicated to the advancement of the work in the South; that these energies will be directed to quickening and strengthening the many secondary schools throughout the entire Southland. By means of definite plans now on foot on the part of the University looking to a closer relationship and a fuller cooperation with these schools, their educational efficiency will be greatly increased. The total number of graduates of the Academy at the close of the present school year will exceed eight hundred. Most of them have entered the colleges and professional schools of Old Howard, while a considerable number have complete:! their academic career at the eastern colleges. The Academy has had only three deans during existence, as follows: Cyrus S. Richards, LL. D., 1871 to 1885; George J. Cummings. A. M„ 1885 to 1914; Charles S. Syphax. A. B., LL. M., 1914 to 1919.
