DEDICATION To him who lies beneath the soil of France, Who nobly gave, yet ask'd naught in advance, To those who fell along the toilsome way, Who were not spar’d to see our triumph day— This book we dedicate.

1 GREETING WK venture a departure from the year-book tradition at Howard. The Echo of ’20 is a University Annual, and is meant to portray as faithfully as might be portrayed all of Howard. And we have not followed vcar-book traditions in other respects. The Senior academic class presents itself in a one act play, which appropriates the University campus as'its setting, the faculty as its directors, the Class of ’20 as its cast. In this we find no precedent. Hut the Class of 20 has not always looked for precedents—more often it has cleaved its own path. To the Alumni, to the Faculty, to the Student Body, to all who know Howard and love her, we present The Echo of ’20, and beg for it the consideration that such a work of a youthful effort merits.

PROLOGUE Ye who have turn’d this page today See patiently our little play: The joys and sorrows of a class Shall orderly before you pass. The scenery, you understand, Main Building down to old grand-stand, Is where the action shall take place Quite limited by time and space. Those who direct this little play Are faculty for every day, Their usual role they’ve laid aside, And by art’s rule must now abide. Then one by one the cast you’ll see. All boys and girls of old Twenty, Who each in turn will play his part According to dramatic art.
