BOOK 1 GENERAL Foreword N1TIUM is the first Year Book to be published by tbc senior classes of the professional schools of Howard University. Sponsored by the class of 1922. it is not only a record of school days, such as the professional student appreciates, but also an effort to create a closer and more cordial relation amon|f the professional students as they leave Howard to hegm the toils of their profession. It is hoped that the labors which this book represents will be measured not solely by our imperfect attempt, as the pages that follow may indicate, but more by the spirit of its purpose to enrich the lives of professional men and women who met at this common study place to prepare themselves for greater usefulness in rendering service, the supreme commitment of life.

Ijw 'i'i The Professional Schools of Howard University arc truly schools of sjxrcinli ation. Their', is a setting of opportunity as well as of instruction. They offer to the Negro not merely training in religion, law and the healing arts, hut also the chance of viewing that terrific field 01 research which forever fascinates unusual ability, turning it from old circles of learning, along tangents that reach toward the infinite and unknown Titus the hope of Professional Howard is to fashion her laboratories, her research dejici t-ntents. Iier libraries and Iter fiolicics to meet every legitimate crave of youth and to develop every special talent Her ultimate task is to give to tin wo M an everlasting output of highly trained cx|K. rt� , equipped to soften ; nd relieve the ills of mankind. Such was the spirit of her founders. Historically. Howard University- Professional and Academic alike- is tile answer to the prayers of a tew patriots who Ixlicvcd in the intellectual and spiritual emancijiatinn «.( the Negro. On March 'i. lSd'i. a charter was granted by Congress which established in the District of Columbia a university for the education of youth in the liberal arts and sciences under the name, style, and title of ’The Howard University ’ The materialization, however, far excelled the concept. Instead of lieing restricted to the preparation of youth ior the ministry, as was intended, the curricula t' the University was made entermimts with the licld of hum; i knowledge. Instead of being confined to the education � f the Negro a Ion.:, its doors were opened to the human race. Mthongh the training of ministers was the prime bjcct for the creation of Howard University, nevertheless, the first of the Professional Schools to Ik formally opened was the School of Medicine t April :i. lst;s). 'I‘he first class was composed of eight students, seven in the C’ollege of Medicine and one in the College of Pharmacy The Dental College was not added until four years later. In Itfiiit the Frcedmcn s Hospital was placed under the charge of a ihoihIkt of tin Medical Faculty In urtler to make the Medical College modern and up !� • A standing in all associations of Medical Colleges d America, the Hospital was moved to the I nivcrsity Campus an l afterwards re-erected at a cost of •iMJOn.tMHt. At present the Medical Faculty, represented as it is by some of the ablest authorities ot the country, practically composes the Hospital Staff I’nder their skilled supervision, the 'Indents have full advantage of the clinics, wards and o| ernting chambers ot the Institution. At the beginning of the fifty-fourth annual session in Octol� cr. lihM. the Medical School had graduated l.tlli! students, I.Cl I medical. 5Cl lental. and '-I'l'i pharmaceutical. The School is rated among the highest. being recognized and placed in class by the merican Medical Association. Six months after tlte formal o|wning of the Medical School, the I-aw School, which is the second oldest in the District of Columbia, was organized (October IV. 1H68). For a numl cr of years this School held all of it' sessions in the Main Cttilding on the University Campus. In liftfO. after moving first into a building occupied by the Second National Hank. an l then to Lincoln Hall at Ninth and I) Streets, it finally selected the present 1-aw Ihtilding as it' permanent home. This building is a large brick structure «u three stories, containing the offices of the School, an extensive law library « f approximately five thousand volumes ami the William M. Hearts Lecture I bill. Within the last few years many changes have been made in the courses of the School tending to raise it' standards. Classes now meet everv night: standard of admission has lieeit raised: nuinlier of subjects pursued in creased: students classified into those eligible for degree, and special practice courts organized upon a systematic plan in tact, everything is being done to bring this department up to the high standards of the I 'nivcrsity and the Law Departments of other Universities of note. Although the University was otigiiuilly planned to give training for the ministry, it was not until |s7o tint the Theological Dq� artincut, now the School of Religion, was ojicned. This Department has always remained an integral part of the University campus life. Today it is the only Professional School so closely a part of academic Howard. Regardless of its unique position in the life of the University, liccause of constitutional limita-lioib. it can receive no aid or support from the National Government. 'I his School ha an unrivaled record in training Christian ministers for the millions of colored j eo| lr in this and other lands. Its students arc drawn from many countries; it is in contact with a large colored population; it i� interdenominational and enjoys all of the facilities incident to its proximity to a great University. These all tend to promote the primary purpose of the Dc|«artment which is to make effective preachers of the Word, successful pastors, and wise leaders toward a higher spiritual life. Like the School of Law, this Dcixirtment has Iktcm strengthening its entrance requirements. It has also established an extension Department, which by corresj otidence courses is carrying educational opportunities to many who cannot attend the School in person. These three Professional Schools may lie justly termed a triumvirate of professional advantages opened to the youth of the country. They have more titan justified the unfaltering faith of their founders by training thousands in the professions of Theology. Law, Medicine. Dentistry, and Pharmacy, and thereby answering the cry of the greater throng of colored people who are struggling toward the light, to live their own lives with equal opportunities of all other men and determine their own destiny under free government and protection of the law. Commencement Address, Howard University By Tiif. Honorable William H. I.f.wis. of Boston. Mass. Mr. President. Distinguished Guests. Memlicrs of the Faculty, Graduatfng ( lass, ami Friends of live University: A we mortals measure time and s|«ce, we arc now in the twenty-first year «if tlie century. The twentieth century is therefore of age. Whatever stirring events may hap| en lie fore the cycle is complete, we know tint the two decades | ast. arc as amazing as any in the annals of mankind. This small segment of time may not com|iare with the immortal age of Pericles; l� ut of those who died in the World War it may lie said of them, as the Athenian statesman and orator said of those who fell in the first Peloponnesion War, “We have received of them a tree state. “We have compelled every land and every sea to ojien a |«ath for our valor, and have everywhere planted eternal memorials of our friendship. Nor is this | criod to Ik comjiarcd with the Italian Kennaissancc. when Florence and Venice were the eyes of the world. But the age that gave to the world Columhus. and Copernicus, can never look askance at the achievcmncts of Peary. Ammnnd'cn. and F.instein. Peary and Antmundsen explored the entls of the earth; Einstein rc-madc the world—or our conception of it. The Eliza-Itethan age. which produced the great explorers like Drake. Raleigh, and Frobisher, and gave us the illustrious names in literature of Shakcsjienrc, Sidney, Spencer, Ben Johnson, defeated the Spanish Armaria. P ut the liattle of the British and German fleets off Jutland will exert a greater influence ujxm the world's histon titan did the r matin. The crowning |kuiU of the nineteenth century was the organizing of The Hague tribunal, to put an end to war; hut in less than two decades the most tU| etxVrtis war in histon had I teen fought, won, and lost. Sixteen nations were contending in anus on the one side or the other. More than a hundred billions uf dollars were sjient in this gigantic struggle. Seven millions of precious human lives were sacrificed to the grim visaged Moloch of war. and (went) millions more, inniim‘ ! ami wounded in this unholy ceremony. Tltev fought ii]X� n the seas, and U-neath the ocean's depth; they fought ujion tlu earth, and in the heavens al ove. As Senator Henry Calx it I .odge. one of the greatest statesmen of his time—or of any time has said of the war with deejx-r significance, as I think. (Jther.s things, the impalj-ahlc possessions of the mind and heart, have m like fashion been wounded and crippled. Indeed, the liiiman intellect was f� r«istitnted as never la-fore to baser purposes. Science itself, which has added so much to the comfort and happiness of man, was turned to his destruction. Not only was chemistry o m|� cl)cd to coiitrihutc her share, in poisonous gases, deadly bacilli, and more terrible explosives; hut the aeroplane. the autocar, and wireless telegraphy, twentieth century developments, must jiay their tribute also to the (Vod of War What shall he said, too. of the debasement of the higher man. the lessening of all moral restraint, the practical denial of the teachings of the Christ? The great war was an eclipse of the moral world Might Ixvame the sole test of right The im| al|iahle possessions of the mind and heart have suffered most. When I stood here last, I did not hear the | eaceful Ik-IIs calling men and women to the recitation hall, or chnjH-l for a |x riiwl of study and meditation; hut this campus resounded with arms, with tlu- tramp of marching men. I heard the bugle call to the assembly, and there | asscd in review the Students’ Army Training Corps. I.r� men. the very pick and flower of our schools and colleges Howard University, nestling within the shadow- of the Capitol, supported increasingly, by the Nation itself fot the education of the colored youth, could not fail to answer the country's call for trained leadership and unselfish service The spirit of her great founder and iuspiror. that great Christian soldier and patriot, (ieneral O. O Howard, a name worthy to stand in history by the side of Godfrey dc Rotiillion and Sir Philip Sidney, keeps its vigil lure. In his spirit the men of Howard went forth to the war. The University will ever cherish the memory of Fairfax. Proctor. Davis. Summons. Cork, and Carter, wlio gave their all to country and humanity To make the next age liettor for the last. In the words of another line of Lowell's commemoration ode. We welcome back our bravest and our liest. To our living limits, young Dent (ioodloe. C’urlry. Junes. Ijung. and llvsli|� . Ik- ever llic pride and glory of Ainu Mater. I deprecate tin- recent attempt in some quarters u|mn a plea of sincerity and truth to destroy the splendid idealism with which the American youth went forth to war. hy asserting tliey were afraid not to light. I rather •hcrish the idealism of the great leader who siid, Thai our object i- to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life oi the world, as against selfish and autocratic power: that they went forth to light tor democracy, tor the right of those who submit i authority to have a voice in |heir own governments, for the rights and lilicrlics of small nations —as well as the great. Victory of the Allies was a triumph, in j«art. at least, of those great ideals. I lave we colored Americans a right to claim a slum in the fruits of victory? I lave we a right to sjieak of the lessons of war? When the age-long conflict between the Teuton and «aul for dominion and power ami glory had once more set Ivurope allanic. and the conflagration was extending wider and farther to other nations, and the whole structure of our modern civilization menaced, when the honor of America was assailed, her prestige among tiations challenged, the rights of her nationals upon the high sens violated in contemptuous disregard of all law. the colored American asked only tor a chance to prove his fidelity, loyally, and devotion to meriran institutions and ideals Half a million men filled the ranks of our armies; two tUuisaud went over the seas to serve in France and Italy. Whether with Dej� ot brigades, the Stevedore regiments, the Kngmeer-. so-called, doing the menial work of the army, they did tu t complain, they were happy in sticlt service. Along that far-flung battle lines. from the Y-er to the Marne, with the lighting units of the army, they bravely met death in every conceivable shaj� e. Their hli n | and I tones, mingled with the sacred soil oi France, will nourish a tree of lilierty for a thousand year-, and nuke “liltcrtv. fraternity, ami equality a thing worth lighting for. and. if need Ite. worth dying for. I.ei us l� elicvc that in falling upon the field oi l� attlc. their uplifted eyes caught the vision of a liltcrated world.” in which equal justice and democracy shall rule. not lor some men. hut for all men ; not for white men alone, hut for brown, black, yellow, and all the children of men. The problems of tin world today are not only economic readjustment, the reconstruction of devastated regions, the restoration .•� jHtblir onlcr these follow naturally in the wake oi war; hut the rebuilding of our civilization along lines which give !i i|k of its jieriiiancncc. and i T| ctiiity. The cademic classes of 1! | go forth with an opportunity for service such as conies t � few generations of college-bred men and women I I lessons for the hour, the lesson that I would have you go forth this day and impress u|� on your fellows, i the lesson taught by the great Workl War, that the maintenance of the supremacy of the laws is the lir t duty of man. When William the Third ascended the throne and proclaimed himself ruler by divine right, he exclaimed, “He who opjxiscs my will I will crush him. Ilis will was to Ik the lex suprema. There is none s«� low n-dav a the all-highest of yesterday Xo single will ran rule the world today the collective will of all alone may make the law far all. The German Kmpirc. built upon Wood and iron. jicrishcd by hl � od and iron. because she thought that might made right, and that the end justified die means The command. “Thou shall not steal” applies to nations as well as individuals. The war taught us that the law of co-ojieration of friendship and gixn! will among nations i essential t � flic jn-acc ami happiness of the workl. (Irdcr is the first law of heaven, and must Ik made the tir t law of earth, or there can lie nothing hut social chaos and anarchy in the world. Individuals and nations must learn to oliev the Laws, which they tliemsdves have made for their own protection ami happiness. If there an anywhere classes of moil outside the jmle of the law. none are safely within its walls, lawlessness and violence produce lawlessness and violence. I.aw is universal, and if it is not everywhere, it is nowhere. From the earliest times, when the shepherds gazed upon the stars at night, through all the ages from I‘tokrins to Cojk. miens. Gallilco. Kepler. Newton. Hcrschel. and Kinstein. men have lieen trying to discover the laws of the universe. Out there in that vast and ont|ity space we call the sky arc many worlds besides our own. There is no war. or clash of worlds. Iiecause inch olicys the law of its Ix-ing. Tlu simple law of gravitation keeps each planet in it orbit The attraction of each for the other keeps it in the jxult marked out for it in space In doit's unhrrse there is room far millions of worlds, because out there is late which none max disregard. There, at least, the reiyn of hue is complete. ( nr planet is safe , because in oliedience to an immutable law. it revokes around tlu- sun. producing tlu seasons springtime and autumn, sect I time and harvest. symbolizing the i eriods of birth, of love, and of death It turns upon its axis, (jiving us day and night for labor and rest We know that all life tqion this planet, from a blade of grass to the highest vertebra , follows a certain order of existence, and cannot escajie Nature's laws of growth and decay. In those far-off prehistoric times, before the earth lieeame thickly populated. there was little need of law. because there were no conllicting interests of men to Ik: harmoni ed. With the development of the family, tribal life, settlement of villages, towns, founding of great cities, ami the establishment of mighty stales, and the rise of what we call civilization, men found that they could not live together in the same ncighlurhood. u|X� n the same soil, without certain rules, or law , which all must «U y. These laws were either impiscd front without by some su|� erinr jtower a despot or a conquering foe. or from within by the |� eoplc themselves, directly or through their clmscn representatives. Thus grew up a Utdy oi municipal law. In time, with the dotting of the g!ol e 1 many nations, it was necessary that there should Ik established certain laws of intercourse, and even laws of war. resting upon the common consent. Just as a municipality cannot prosjier unless men arc com|x:llcd to keep the peace and settle their disputes by arbitration, m nations cannot endure, and there can Ik- no | eace among and ln-tween separate states unless governments recognize the obligations of international law. Then con he no law in the true sense, unless there is a unlity he fore the law. The humblest individual in the community is entitled to the due and eiftial protection of the laws. The weakest nation in the family of nations is entitled to its complete so;rreit ntx. just as the strongest and the most ptnvcriit I.

Obviously, these millions cannot live together u| on the same planet, hos-tile, and jealous of each other, nation against nation, race against race, every man's hand uplifted against his brother. The reign of peace will never come among men until the reign of law is established Out of onr social chaos must conte a social cosmos. or the race of man is doomed. I liclicvc in the endless progress of the human race. Our civilization will yet reach a finer state. The kingdom of heaven will yet conte tijxm earth. I Ixrlicvc with Tennyson, that some diviner force will guide us through the days I shall not see. “W hen the schemes and nil the systems, Kingdoms and Republics fall, Something kindlier, higher, holier—all for each and each for all?' “Ml the futl-lirain. half-brain races, led by fust ice.

Ml the great inventions that have added to the convenience, comfort, and happiness of civilized man. from the wheel to rive autocar, have l� ccn the result id’ the discovery and application of Nature's laws to the needs of the human race. Man has taken the lightning from the ■•kie- to turn Ins machinery. and to carry his messages to the utmost j� nrts of the earth. He has made fire and water, the two most destructive elements in Nature, serve his purpose through the application of steam to the vvliecls of industry, and by rail and hollow liont to carry the commerce of the world. Ml the lal omtories of the world, every workshop, is trying to find new Laws, or sonu application of old laws to serve the purpose of man. Tire Duke of rgyll. famous Scots scholar, was not far wrong when In? said: Tin- Iv'eign of I.aw is this., then, the reign under which we live? Yes. in a sense it is. There is no denying it The whole world around us, and tin- whole world within u . i ruled l� y Law. There i no denying the Reign of Liu within ns. I onsoience and consciousness follow certain rules of law. .Said St Paul: I see another law in tin tneniliers. waning against the law of my mind, bringing me into captivity t the law of sin, which is in tin members. We cannot escajte the laws without us Nature’s laws are ;i' inexorable as Ente and Destiny. Unman law alone, we |uestion and defy, lienee, the sorrow of mail. Tin- rule, as slated l.y I lerliert §|� encer. is mi simple and easy of recognition. Every man. says Herbert SjxMicer. ’ is free to ! • that which he wills, provided he infringes not the tapial freedom of any cither man. The lilierty of each is limited only by the like liberties of all. The rule is simple. If each individual keeps t his own orbit; if each nation keeps in its own | ath. there can lie no friction, no clash, no strife. 'I’lte action « f the individual, and the nation may lie limited and circumscribed by law, but there will still Ik- freedom of motion sufficient to insure the individual. collective progress and development of the human race. 1 cannot doubt that, out of the noise and din of the present conflict, the harsh, discordant sounds of tattle and strife, will come a purer harmony, a symphony divine, in which all the children of men may rejoice. Education is discipline. As educated men and women you have passed through the great discipline, bringing your minds and Uxlies into subjection to the laws within ami without, (jo forth, then, and teach your fellows, first, oliedicncc to the law. As teachers you can perform no higher duty to the State As medical men, teach them to ol ey the laws of health, as essential to a useful and a liappy life. As ministers, teach them that the spiritual world is ruled by law. that “love is the iullilling of the law As lawyers, the jieopk will look to you. the state will lean ujhiii you. Let your service command respect for the law. I give you in |xirting a |icrsonal word. It is now more than twenty-five years since 1 sat with the graduating class in a little New England college, with the same thoughts throbbing through my brain, and the same emotions tilling my heart, whence I went forth to face a world which 1 fell was none too svni] uthclic. As long ns memory lasts, I shall not fail to recall a word of advice given to me by my friend and twnef actor. President Seeley, one of tlte most saintly and Christ-like men 1 ever knew. He said, Dear Lewis. wherever you settle down, in the North, or the South. rememlier that the g« � ;| for yo.v race, as for any race, i tlx gosjx-l of salvation, not condemnation; remember that the greatest teacher of mankind said that He came into the world not to condemn the world, lint that the world through Him might I nr saved; and while you cannot ignore the wrongs of your race, as terrible a- they may l yet I hojie tint you will always cheer yourself, and cheer them with the lively hope of their redemption. I have no other creed, no other faith. I hr 0 tried to cheer in the darkest hour, and believe that the redempt on is near at hand. In that spirit may you go forth th«s day. with sanity, ant! poise with true humility, spread the gosjicl of good cheer, in that faith which ennobles a life’s work. And you will by your lalmrs hasten the day when (There) the common sense � f nv« i shall hold a fretful realm in awe.

II. The Theological College, for high school graduates, offering a course of study for four years and leading to the degree of Bachelor of Theology. III.

This Department offers a wide variety of courses of study for |� ostgraduatc work, gives credit for work done, ami assists a large number of ungraded students.

Class Gossip In the lace of many disadvantages and adverse circumstances, these few who graduated bear the stamp of excellence. Among the five there are four denominations represented- -Congregationalism, C. M Iv. A. M. K.. and Baptist. The Baptist overwhelm in majority, as usual, of course. Bring asked their opinion of attending an Interdenominational Seminary, the said that it was an advantage to meet and discuss face to face with men of diversified opinions, thereby learning to love and to understand and Ixrttcr appreciate the value there is in all denominations. Again they represent various ty| cs of thinkers: On being asked their opinion of Solving the Race Problem. Mr. Breeding answered: To make advantages and opportunities equal for all. backed up by some one organization of the whole apart from the Government.' Mr. Rembort said: It is the duty of the church to engage itself in the affairs of men. to the extent that the right men lie elected to office, and just laws enacted and enforced, protecting the rights and interests of all ficople alike.” And in the midst of his gesticulations, it is doubtful whether Jack Johnson would l� c willing to face him in the ring. Mr. Johnson replied: Amalgamation of races, that all races should go to the same church and the same school. While Mr. Maywood said: “Bring the colored people up morally, educationally ami industrially, to the highest standard by efforts largely of their own, then the economic, commercial. | litical and sociological problems of the colored race will lje solved; give the job to the party who is capable and liest prepared to do tl� e work; thus preparedness is the secret. Mr. Barton believes in the resume of the whole, adding that a drastic ihange simmid be made in the ecclesiastics and doctrines of the church, making him Bishop, with universal jurisdiction. Mr. Barton enjoyed tin- distinction of being unmarried and had less rcs| � nsihilitv. while the responsibilities oi Mr. Hayward were the greatest, having a wife, live children and an aged mother. For two and a half years lie had only three and one-half hours out of twenty four at home, in which u� console his family, study, rest, sleep and cat; ami by lu business ingenuity ami organizing ability it was possible for bitn to pull through; but the j or fellow va tardy every morning, some days sleeping on tin street cars a mile pa-t the school, not Ixring able to produce an extra fare, had to Imof it t the I'nivcrsitv. I lis skill and advice in the real estate and commercial worlds are sought by those who know him. Mr. Breeding, with a wife and daughter, and ixtstor of a large congregation fottiKl it very difficult to keep all his promises with re |)cct to visiting his mcmliers. Mr. Johnson, with his wife and three children, did exceedingly well to maneuver his affairs to the extent to be able t« graduate; and if you would ask him how he did it. his answer would probably lie. hy tlte principle' of Jcsit- Christ nd Mr. Kenthen. having a wife only, found it not as burdensome. Now. in each individual case extraordinary ability was demonstrated. Then as tltcy are further known. Mr. Johnson represents the pious man. Mr Breeding the humorous Mr. Keuilicri the emotionalist. Mr. Hayward the practical, and Mr. Barton the theoretical critic; all having a conservative disposition. a rationalistk tendency from a progressive vievvjMiint, emerging out into the phenomenal and metaphysical planes, hanging Ixuli to Arthogenescs and Helen (geneses, with the audacity to claim for their motto. That character is the only true diploma. ' BOOK III SCHOOL OF PHARMACY IVtlro T.-di Pinna. Husincss MUni«;. i,r IC:iti«- 1C. }«� •. -Tiva Uric I . Mason. Kdilor Ivornilnr H Join .

This spirit may l e mi broad in it , scope, so sheer in its nobleness, so incompletely understood by the class itself, that this work may fail in it- object, but our concentration of effort is to make it more than a poor reflection. This book though essentially a task of the entire class is necessarily per formed by a small group. It is these locals whose diligence and fortitude have played the greater part in the production of this work, that I must here introduce. Mr Pedro T. de Pinna. Business Manager, is a student whose entire college career has been one of initiative service and loyalty to class projects. He is trustworthy and dependable. Mr Philip Parnell. Advertising Manager, a bright student whose services were efficient and highly remunerative to this publication. Miss K. Ester Gee, Secretary-Treasurer, is the amiable, hard-working girl who took care of our records and moneys. She is an earnest, capable lady, always identified with class progress. Mr Douglas |. Henderson. Biographer, a remarkable student whose work always savors of intelligence and ability, and whose loyalty and support could always be retied ujmn. M iss M ay 1 wile Butler. Social Editor, did excellent work, for which 1 must sav a word. So efficient is this lady that it is sad that reactionary influence prevents us from smiling on her face in the biographical section of this work. William K. Armstrong. Sport and Humor Editor, gives us smile after smile in work that shows his gift of observation and ability to present the same to another. He is a fine lad of noble traits, loyal and reliable. East hut iv t least is our own Lillian R. Woodvnrd, Assistant Editor, who did valuable and efficient work in assisting the Editor-in-Chief with hi many duties. She is energetic and determined. She was author of the reactionary choice that prevents us from viewing her in the biographical section.

This in the microscojiic analysis of urine, feces, sputum, blood, and other excretion and extracts from the human l� ody, renders an invaluable service to busy physicians hi the diagnosis of diseases. It is a house that recognizes the call for thoroughness, care, efficiency, and trustworthiness.

Having completed a cycle of three revolving years of liard work in the scientific lalsvratories of this historical school and achieved main triumphs, we June, at last, reached the highest pinnacle in the pharmaceutic course We have attained the high rank of seniors, which is the desired goal of every true student We may claim fame, honor, and glory, soon, as our rightful I rentage ns merited by all those whose struggles have hecn faithful. In the fall of !!•!!� we entered this great school thirty-six in mnulier. W e realized the great need of service in this profession, and therefore Ircgan preparation for tliis noble task. First year, under the leadership of our first President. Mr. Sumner, we succeeded in laying the great foundation oi our course which was so essential to the succeeding years. '«- clo-cd this year with great victory, every memlicr oi the class was advanced to the junior class ne of the greatest events oi this lir l awl hard year was a reception at the close of the year. It served as tin jubilant celebration of mu triumphant year and an op|M� rtune time to express our good wishes to each other for the summer vacation. Second year, under the able leadership f Stuarts and Mason, we started tlx year with a reception in honor of the freshmen class. This resulted in the formation «� f a elose tie of friendship which lets been eujoved and nppre ciated hy the memlxTs of Ixitli classes. We 1io|k that stud relationship remains throughout mir professional career W ith determination to repeal the deeds � f our first year, we worked and studied t . the extent that we were rated as seniors at the end of the year. We closed this great year with a grand reception tor the memlters of the senior class. We felt it our duly t make it pleasant for the outgoing class.

I lie public ami tlu medical profession often .show a lack of appreciation'of the services of the pi tarmac ist which is worth} � f considcratn 11. This. I l� elicve. is due to a lack of knowledge of the mam functions which the pharmacist actually performs. I have in mind, of course, the professional pharmacist and not the | ircly commercial one. The enumeration of some of his activities may Ik; of value in this connection. In many resjjects the effect, on the patient, of the physician's treatment is. to a great extent, de| cndcn! on the qualifications ami scruples of the pharmacist. who prepares the medicine for administration. If he lie impro| erly trained, he may so combine the ingredients of the physician's prescription as to completely alter its physiological action. Me may overknik a dangerous incompatibility, or a f is molts dose some prescr ipt tops come to him with doses which would kill). It he is unscrupulous, he may substitute a cheap drug for an cx] ciimvc one without the knowledge of either the physician or l aticnt In either case, the jwitintt sulTcrs. the physician loses, and the pharmacist is ropiusihlc. Not only is he morally responsible, but should a death result from the use of the prescription, he i usually held legally resjwn-sihle for the physician's mistake. But these things very seldom hap| n. The capable pharmacist and there arc man} of them i has had pro] cr training to meet these conditions, lie studies the prescriptions coming to him and conscientious!} comjxnmds them, so as tn insure the |mticnt full Ixrnefir nf the drugs prescrilied. He consults the physician concerning overdoses of poisonous drugs, rather than send them out as called for. and thus endanger the jiatient's life In so doing, he performs a real service to humanity, and he does it gladly, without I masting, and without the knowledge of tile communitv When information of a scientific or semi-scientific nature is wanted, the public usually g««c- to the nearest drug store in search of it. There they rxjiect to find a regular bureau of information, city and telephone directory, ami a supply of |mstage stamps, and the druggist furnishes these without financial profit to himself. In tlic event of aecid■ ntal (mis.mmg nr attempted suk ide. the pharmacist in the absence of the idiysidan. very often gives emergency treatment which may save a life. The jHihlic exjiccts him to know wliat to lo, and to lie willing to do it. usually gratuitously. When street acckkruts hap]mi to human I icings, yon will And them Icing carried to the nearest drug store, where much i done to alleviate the pain or add to the comfort of the injured. This. too. is service of a most imp-riant type, and the community lenefits, at the exjmise of the pharmacist. Roconls will show that numerous discoveries of a scientific nature lave I-ecu and are Icing made bj pharmaceutically trained men. As an example. I may mention the discovery of morphine, the first known alkaloid. nd now we recognize the alkaloids as the most active of all groups of medicinal substances. This first alkaloid was discovered by a tier man apithccary. Not only are they finding new and valuable Milistnnces, I nit they are constantly improving the •! ! ones atxl synthetically huildiiig new ones.. The manufacturing plarmnoist plays an imp-riant jiart in developing the new materia medica. Likewise he is continually improving the |dianiiaceutical preparations of these drugs, making them more palatable, more sightly, more jermanent, and more easily administered to the patient. This. too. is a service worth while, for the mental effect which the sight, or taste, or odor of the medicine las may greatly alter the physiological action of the drugs Or a plannnccutically elegant pre]Miration may have a beneficial effect not justified by the ingredients tt contains We have pharmaceutically trained men who art holding responsible ] osi-tions ns government narcotic ins| ectors, food ins] ectors. lacteriologists. and analysts of various nature. These are services of the highest type, purely scientific and services which benefit not one individual alone but add to the comfort and health of the community as a whole. It i- evident, then, that the pharmacist constitutes a cog-wheel which is absolutely necessary to the smooth running of the Machinery of the community. This is esjee tally worthy because it is the machinery concerned with the life and health of the human licing. Prof. ]. Hcrve Purdy PH Alt I). DEAN OF COLLEGE OP PHARMACY The Editors of the Year Book have requested a curtailed synopsis of ni business cx|ierieiice. as students naturally have a desire to know the history of their instructors. I was born in the town of Moundsville. West V irginia, July 8th. 1853. 'I'he town having Urn laid out and founded by my father in 1831. U|xjn a tract of land inherited from nt grandfather, and which bordered the Ohio River twelve miles south of Wheeling. West Virginia. The town of Moundsville having derived its name from one of the largest known Indian mounds, which was on the land. This mound was constructed by a race of prehistoric people who have left no clue as to their identity, though they are not related, however, to the present-day Indian race. My father died when I was sixteen years of age, at which time I left Moundsville to attend the State Normal School of Fairmont. West Virginia. Afterward I took a course at Duffs Business College in Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, and then entered a drug store with the full intention of learning the drug business, which had always Wen a subconscious desire from boyhood. In Moundsville there was located an «� 1 1 typical German druggist of whom 1 stood in great awe. Being sent to bis drug store from time I recall him perfectly, always with skull cap and white apron, Imsily at work with mortar and pestle, surrounded by various mysterious implements amidst gold lined, glass lalxded shop I mules, with varied colored contents. His jjersonality made such a deep impression upon my mind tltat no doubt the love of the profession originated from these early impressions. When almut five or six years of age, a portion of my body, including my arm, was paralyzed, consequently ltcing an invalid, I was compelled to take quite a variety of medicines compounded by my old German Aj othecary. One of the remedies by its taste and odor lias left such a lasting psychological impression ujxm my mind that I can apparently smell it distinctly, though I have never lieen able to identify it. Strange things occur in one’s lift When a buy little did I dream that this old Herman Vpothccary. at some future day. would apply to me for a clerkship m my own store, which strange fate decreed should conic to jas- After having had two years' cxjtcricnce in a drug store in Cameron. West Virginia, ar.d I icing just twenty-one years of age. 1 purchased the store 1 had entered. tin- proprietor having to remove to another part of the country ith the aid of a clerk I continued in the business for two years, when the county declared prohibition, nrd having no conijietition for many miles it resulted in tlirowing so many liquor prescriptions into the store (rui IkioI-Icggcrs in those •lays), that conscientious scruples an l the impression that I was not conducting an ideal, ethical | harmacv i even if all liquor was sold solely ujxm prescriptions). I determined to sell out and locate in Mounds ville, my native town, which gave me the oj portunity for opening a new store throughout, n tiling that had conic to pass as a very pleasing event. t the expiration of a little over two years a tempting offer was receiver!. and the 'tore was sold, which gave me the opportunity for fill tilling a long cherished desire to increase my pharmaceutical knowledge, and I entered the Philadelphia College of I hnrmncv and was fortunate in semiring a position with S. I’ W right while in attendance. The college at that time had night sessions only, twice a week. In looking lack I can see that the cx| criciice gained in this store was incalculable. This leads me to advise students by all means to get into a drug store for practice and experience, since knowledge pertaining to the profession cannot jiossibly In obtained from any other source. The most imjjortnnt qualifications to he acquired l� v drug store experiences arc nch r. car never Ik- acquired through college instruction alone, nor can the knowledge ami skill he acquired by other means than continued experience of tile right kind in a well conducted and well equipped and busy pharmacy in active and varied daily experience. Leaving Philadelphia. I stopped over in Washington and liked the city so well that I concluded to remain. The Medical faculty at Howard at that time was conqxised oi some very brilliant men, and the lectures delivered were as much oi an entertainment as a study to the students. The white students greatly predominating during this period, probably in the ratio of six to one. After coming to Washington. I clerked in a drug store for a while, until a jposition under the government was secured, which in some way np| caled to me. and in the fall entered the Pharmacy Sclxvnl at Howard t'niversity. graduating the next spring 11881 ). and in July of that year, the year and month I'resident Garfield was assassinated. o|)Ciic l a new store on the corner of Ith and Q Streets, N .. and eventual!) bought the Keinlcin store at -•th and I Streets, which was run in connection with the «th and O Street store; continuing in hnsiness until when a slight breakdown in health warnc I me that a re 4 should lie taken, and I retired from business. Some years previous to this, in ISIifi. I had keen called by the Hoard of Trustees of Howard University to occupy the chair of Pharmacy. In order to show how the city has grown since I first entered the college building, I would state at that time it was the only building east of (ieorgia venue and north of 'I' Street to the University buildings on the hill It presented quite a lonely ami solitary sight standing out alone surrounded by vast fields of unoccupied ground given over to the inspiring of the city cows and horses During the time I have Ik-en connected with the College, mail) interesting incidents have taken place, and several high achievements have been made by some of the students, one of which is worth) ot mention in order t show what can l e accomplished by devotion to study Mr. Sylvamts Jones, in connection with his second-year course and without any previous knowledge of pharmaev. entered the correspondent course of the Pharmaceutical F.ra. which numlwrcd l.n| � . and won the scholarship prize, assuring him a complete scholarship in any pharmaceutical school in the 1‘nited States or Canada which he might select, covering all college exjienses: he continued in our college and graduated with high honors. .Mr. Jones won several other prizes, among which was one gained by writing .H.ouo words on a postal card in shorthand. I wish some of our student could have seen some of the examination turned in l� v him It might prove an incentive to emulate his clean, neat work and care in writing. It will l.e of interest to • � ur students, also. I am sure, of some surprise to tlie pharmaceutical work!, that Kcar Hdlierg gave his hrst lectures in our school, and he eventually achieved high honors and was recognized in pharmaceutical matters as I wing a pharmacist and instructor of the highest an thorite and international fame. Prof. )ldl erg was appointed Professor � f Pharmacy at the session « f l.sll. and in connection t � � k up the study of medicine, which ir m some cause continued only one year lie at that time conducted a drug store at ;kl Street, X. ,, and shortly after entered the government service, and in 18H va% api� iinled « Itiei Clerk in the I . S Marine Hospital Service, and in was Purveyor in the same service, after which he entered wlmllv into teaching and writing. I am asked sometimes if I would chose pharmacy again f«� r a profession. In answer to this I do not hesitate t«� say. in looking kick over my career, tint I have not the -«lighcst regret We hear from time to time—ami csj e-cial1 fmm young men- that they regretted ever having adopted pharmacy tor a profession. No doubt these discontented mcm! crs of the | rofess� on did not fully consider whether pharmacy was really the profession they should have iliosen ( r perhaps. tltcy may have Iwen led to enter it simply to earn a living with little and easy work accompanied with very large profits. If this was their object. of course they have made a great mistake, as there are other employ incuts quite as remunerative, if not more so. and less arduous and dangerous than the drug business. We frequently have students who. we can see, have lost interest, and who show plainly that the calling no longer appeals to them even lwfnre they luivc completed their course. Unless one starts with a love for the profession, and this love is maintained, it will lie an everlasting regret that it was ever entered into. Now. what arc vine of the qualifications for the practice of pharmacy? First of all lie must lie intelligent and of good habits, orderly, systematic, ami animated hy tlie desire to attain a high degree of professional knowledge, always continuing to Ur guided In an earnest devotion to his calling. He should have all his physical senses in sound order; n person who b color blind, deaf, or unable to distinguish differences in taste, who cannot discern odors, or who lias not perfect hands and lingers, or is |ioorly educated. cannot lie considered a lit jwrson to take up (Jiarmacv. It is to U regretted that we have irom time to time, students who have not counted the cost of acquiring a profession, nor looked forward to the effort am! amount of study necessary to gain a thorough pharmacy education. s m other professions, many consider all they have to do is to take the course and l e filled with the instructors' ideas without effort on their part. In order to eliminate any such ideas formed hy pro ] eclive students and to give some idea of what studies the phannaev curriculum comprises, would name the following branches that must l� c mastered: Chemistry. Taxicology. Urinalysis. Botany, Materia Mcdka. Posnlogy. Plxanrncy. Pharmacology. Pltarmacogonsy. Microscopy. Physiology. Tlierajieutics. Bacteriology, Pharmaceutic Arithmetic. Commercial Pluirmacy. From the foregoing it will lie iv te l that long hours of close, arduous study is required. The road to the acquisition of a profession has its difficulties, hut has its reward There i- no ' royal road, and flu student must travel the road himself, since no one can do it for him. I advise all young men and women to consider well the adoption of a profession that they niav have no regrets from not ehosing wisely.

In the fall of the year I'.'l.s the class eagerly ventured forth on the first lap of the journey, l-nhouiidcd ojrtimtsm and faith in the future transformed tin dull stretches of a scientific way into delightful Ironlcvards of pleasure. Incx|� crienec and ignorance concerning the trail ahead caused the rank to imagine that the whole journey would l c one triumphant progress. To the majority it seemed as if mastering the heights and !ip| crv places of professional technic and -kill would Ik? accomplished in some mysterious way or the other. It was indeed a happy march. Kxclnding one or two who were lame or halt the class pranced and cavorted through ut this lap. Jnlv two were left by the way. The second lap began with a da— the number of which had been diminished to — . quite a few basing been lured away by tin seemingly jwimrosc | ath vay of medicine l;rom the very outset the nature of the ground in this lap proved somewhat rough and uneven The delightful Imnlevard- «� f pleasure gradually merged into hilly ami broken country. The rough going produced in even the very strong marchers signs of panting, prancing and cavorting changed into scrambles. These difficulties, however, failed to discourage the hand. In previous years many had traversed the same route awl had finished victoriously; therefore the class could and would finish victoriously. Thus no lessening iu the amount of enthusiasm and no lack of faith and ho]� ctulne— were manifested; but it was necessary to call in aid all the vigor and jicrscvcrancc of which the class was capable in order to climb over the difficult places. The last Mages of this lap presented a slough which required the utmost strength of the well-nigh wean pedestrians; luit assiduity awl courage insured it' successful passage, although many sank shoulder deep in the struggle Kvery one welcomed the rest and recuperation vouchsafed at the summer recess. With renewed vigor the class. tite munlier � � i which had dwindled to —. commenced the third bp of tin journey. The nature of the country through which the pathway led not only con .Mined rough ntxl uneven hut also Itecame Steep and hilly; hut inasmuch ns new and strange sights presented themselves at every step, such added interest served to lessen the irksomeness of the progress. Also, the hardship encountered during the two previous laps proved valuable in dial the rank and tile were trained to walk warily As the marchers dimlcd higher and higher the difficult heights, their footstep resounded louder and firmer. The wayfarers gained considerably in self-confidcncc and wisdom. At this stage the hand of death, like an ambushed enemy, snatched from the pathway one of the valiant ones. No more for him the weary route Hereafter his footsteps will traverse die trails of mystery’ the great lievond. Along the upward pathway the travelers scattered themselves—the swifter ones forged ahead while the plodders brought up the rear. Ml moved forward, ascending higher and higher. Far ahead tliey could discern the mountains of achievements and endeavor up which those who liad gone lie fore were climbing. The class had reached only the foothills of these mountains. The lirginning of the fourth and last bp discovered the class — in number. ready and actually impatient to move upward, to win its way to the very Iwse of the great mountain. Thus finishing the journey. It seemed to a few that the trad, which wound over steep hills and passed over deep pits and fissures presented no great effort to conquer; hut to the majority it required the utmost caution and watchfulness to advance. All wished that it were possible to proceed in a more s| ecdy manner to the mountains; hut according to the rules which govern the route along life’s highway no provision is made for swift flight or ride. These rules are as unbreakable as fate. All who travel must go afoot, as it were, and advance step by step Some, it is true, could proceed by leaps and Imuiuls. hut these were endowed with greater skill and strength It has hecn otiscrved, however, that even ahead of the sjieedy ones the race is not always to tin- swift.” The end of tin- trail loomed nearer and nearer: hut the trails of the way did not lessen. Many doubted that tliev could finish at all. Some were I old and confident, others timid and afraid. s they looked liackwards along the winding and hazardous pathway over which tliev bail traveled they experienced not joy and gbdness hut relief that the end had come After four years replete with sacrifice and discouragement and scanty in success it was indeed a blessed relief to them from the tension of uncertainty TN M KMOIM AM GEORGE KI.LIS FAIKCLOUGH.

If one were to assemble (nets for a- short ;i ]tcriod f..ui years, the strides which dentistry ha- taken would answer the question Hut would this information permit one to give a conclusive definition' No. inr dentistry is still in the making and years will come and go before it develops into a mature profession It lias liccn stated that dentistry will some day he the leading profession, and the philosophy of the statement is well founded. Hygiene supports the is-ue and with the advancement of civilization the law-of sanitation advance i onsequently the progress of dentistry is inev itable. Each one of us is a contributing factor to its progress and each must play bis |«rt. We are indebted to the Dental Faculty of Howard l niversity and then-co-workers tor their efforts in prejaring tt for a greater work; for the profession lias set a tremendous pace and their struggle has liccn bard. If. however, one would compare our first year in the Dental School with the present year, it would be evident that the race was not lost. 'I he facilities were somewhat of a handicap due to an unexpected influx of students, hut that only served to make iis more zealous. We arc. however, hoping that the congestion may 1 disjvoscd of and that better conditions will supplant those of the present. We arc certain that the existing conditions arc only temporary and soon the Dental School will claim if- own. We only regret that the opportunities which are x«m forthcoming have not liccn in our time, although the cx| crionce of our yesterday will serve us well today If a female fluke is a duchess.

I lie now Dental Infirmary, thoroughly equipjicd and modernized, is indeed a crown to the combined efforts nt yourself and the Faculty of «� iu Ixdovcd lnia Mater. I congratulate you. Kapid indeed have [Kissed the ten years since we reluctantly hide farewell to Dear Old Howard. I ml.tied with the enthusiasm aroused and fostered Iiv the true I toward Spirit each went to his rcsjtective field «� l endeavor, determined to find a way or make it. W hile in Ohio recently. I attended the Ohio Dental Convention and the pleasure of seeing Drs. Paul Mcxandcr and Harvey Cowan They have combined offices in t leveland. with a lucrative practice Dr. Alexander was quite a stylish and immaculate as in the old days. Dr. Cowan still maintains his youthful ap] tea ranee. however he has discarded his school-like nonchalant manner and has acquired a most business-like and professional one. leaving Ohio, I decided to visit my kindred in N'ew Jersey. an l was delighted to find Dr. Benjamin t .rant a practicing dentist in Jersey City, having obtained the reputation of licing the lie t Kxodontist in tin- city. Ilis little wile claims that he i the l-est husl and in the world. (Juitc a few of our I joys art located in New York City and Brooklyn, all adding credit to the profession. Desiring to fully acquaint mwlt with their activities. I devoted two 'lavs to the pleasant task of visiting them in action. Dr. Dash has a U autiftd ofiice. and so crowded with patient-, was his waiting room that I was unable to interview him at length; however, promptly at four o'clock each day. he ceases hi practice and goes home, where the evening is spoilt in coaching young rdcnezc. who some d.v, will outstrip his father as a basket I-all -t.ir He told me that Dr. Horace Hamlet had realized his dream and was practicing in Paris. France, where his riches led far stir|Kissed wcu his imagination and that he Ivtd married a charming Madamoiselle. Passing Brown's Publishing House, on Broadway near |:« 1 Si., I saw an advertisement of a new edition entitled “Conductive Anaesthesia. the autlior being none other than our own Dr. Arnold Donowa. Purchasing a ropy, | hastened to his office to offer my congratulations. 1 found him deeply engrossed in his work, lie i a specialist in Oral Surgery, recently receiving the coveted N .Ud Prize, having jicr formed many wonderful operation . I)r. Ferdinand Williams office was next on my list. His equipment was complete in every detail. Since leaving Howard. Dr. Williams ha further prepared himself for Ins life’s work by additional course in the University of Pennsylvania and New York Dental College, until today Ik- ranks a oik of New York's most efficient practitioners. Before leaving Dr. Williams' office 1 was pleasantly surprised by l eing confronted by Dr. Lewis ! air-clough, who had just arrived from Panama, where lie has established a chain of offices through tlic Canal Aim- He is also Professor of Dental Pathology in Colon Dental College, which college lie was instrumental in founding to the memory of his brother. ( eorge Kllis haircloitgh. He sjiokc of Dr. Panama Johnson’s success in Panama. It scents as though Dr. Johnson lias done much credit to Howard by his work there. His office is the most up to date one in the city. So large is his practice that lu is now quite wealthy and lives with his family in a palatial resilience. Together with Dr. and Mrs. Williams, we motored to Brooklyn, and found Dr. Charles Roach hard at work in his Inliorntory While in sonic degree still engaged in 0|ierativc practice, he is by far the most eminent prostlietk dentist in the vicinity, and informed uk- that his son is now at Howard, and Iu� |k s soon to enter the Dental Department Recently I received a letter from Dr John Chiles. Of course, it is no surprise that he has made good in Staunton, Ya.. because it became apjwircni to all during his school days, that his industry, linked with his winning | er sonality could result in nothing le-.s. While he i- busily engaged in his own practice, every Wednesday and Saturdai morning he maintains a clinic in which he gives free treatment to those unable to pay. He says his wife, nnaltell. is indeed a helpmate in every sense of the word Mtbongh. i� «s sessing much of this world's goods, like the proverbial Roman mother, Cornelia, their real treasures are their two young sons. Hof re leaving school, we arranged that every member of the class would send me a letter on onr H th Anniversary reporting his success. Hrietly, I will recount them. It ts always surprising how some of our l� est men arc those who in school apfiearcd as delinquents. We were all prone to lie skeptical of Dr. I � uglas Gani| er liecattse of his appaietit lack of interest, hut lie writes me that during his Senior Year he began to realize that Dentistry required real work, so he '•tallied himself, and today he has a large office in Baltimore, and I hav« heard that not a more punctual, carefully dressed « r better dentist is in the vicinity. I rather think though that he owes his progress to the efforts of his wife, who iv originally a Haltiinorc girl. I am sure you rememlicr Dr. George Chatham. Old Chat. ns we used to call him. l ie is located in Germantown. Pa. 11«• reports that Ins practice is everything that could lie desired. For a while he was located at his native city. Catnip, Ya.t where he was rather disnp|x intod at the class oi work which came to hint. F.ach inhabitant demanding nothing more or less than gold crowns or “Kivcrs.” He desired to practice more esthetic dentistry, sj� accordingly chose a more progressive field. Dr. Gilbert Tlmmas is located at Ins home in Jamaica. B. Y. I. He has surprised oven himself in his rapid advancement in tin? profession. While in school he often remarked that Dentistry was not his calling: today he is a recognized authority in Crown and Bridge work, and I understand that before long he expects to retire from active practice When I read the letter from Dr. Taylor Segue, pleasant memories stirred me; I laughed for no other reason than that the letter was from Seque. Still maintaining much of his huddling humor, he has found the more serious asjiect of life He is one of the wealthiest and most )x pular dentists in New Orleans. Having married a Itcautiful Creole girl he is now the proud father of live lovely children, two of whom arc twins. Dr. Segue now tips the scales at two hundred and eighty pounds, hut even with such handicap he manages to have the major ]n Ttion of his clientele consist of the fairest ladies of New Orleans. Dr. Lionel Verdun also is successfully located in New Orleans. He diares with I � r. Segue the honor of lzjing uusurj-nssed by any dentist. In his every endeavor be displays the lies! skill, care a;.d ju Igment. Dr. Verdun is now tin- President of the Louisiana Dental Association. He owns a mansion in VerdunviJIc and motors to New trieans every day. Word from Mississippi, tells that Dr. Pervious Hill is located in Itis home town, Yazoo City. He is 'till the jmlislicd gentleman and thoroughly practical dentist as iti school, and lias done more than any other man of the race to create a feeling of harmony and good will among the people. Recently Dr Mill applied for a patent on his invention, a new type of dental chair, which will undoubtedly surpiss any cliair now living used. . Dr Willis Lillis is located in Jacksonville. Fla. He i as usual reserved in shaking of himself, hut I do know that he is a dentist to whom we can jKiint with pride. He has raised the standard of dentistry in Florida to a high degree and is also manufacturing a preparation which has proven successful in the treatment of Pyorrhea Alvcolaris. I would advise that if you are not using it in the Infirmary you will liegin to do at once. Dr. James Taylor is quite a deep and serious as of yore. His office in Lexington. Ky., is so cquip| cd with every dental comfort that he lias no difficulty in gaining patients and keeping them pleased. Still intensely inter estc l in athletics, he tells me that near lii home he has established a modern playground. It is one of his chief pleasures to watch the little ones indulging in games that tend to develop future athletes. Hr. Taylor has three fine children. Being of a strict Imsiness mind he has invested his money in real estate and now owns some of the most valuable property in Lexington. Dr. Ivsse MeTeer is established in Orangeburg, S. C. Together with his large and remunerative practice, he is also president of the MeTeer Dental Supply Co. lie found at first that it was difficult to interest the dentists in South Carolina in Imving from his company, but Ixrcausc of his honest dealings he now supplies seventy-five | er cent of the dentists in the State of South Carolina. I)r. Roscoe Lee. has achieved his aim and has liecome one of the foremost aral .surgeons in this countr) In September of this year he will read a piper on Plastic Surgery lief ore the French Dental Society in Paris, France. In this branch of surgery he ranks second to none. Dr. Aaron Russell has succeeded his father in a Large, lucrative practice in Washington. I). C. It is useless to say that lu is successful, hut I am glad to mention that he has upheld the excellent reputation of his father and added thereto his own laurels. I)r. Alvin I horn ton i also a successful practitioner in the District of Columbia: his office is located in the Thornton Building, which he recently erected. He has just completed a nvmograjih on ••Tumors of the Jaw. His interesting family consists of his amiable wife and four children. Dr. Allicrt Harris is located iu Pittsburgh, Pa. His offices and o| crating rooms arc equip| cd with the largest and most modern electrical np] lianccs: his specialty is Radiography. He was married to Miss Webb, of Washington. in 1023. Their home life is ideal. Mrs. Harris presiding in a truly charming manner over their home, which is blessed with two children. Drs. Rugcnc Canady and Joseph Johnson, of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Va.. respectively, have joint offices fully equipped in the Attuck Building in Norfolk, where they enjoy a large practice. Besides l cing most successful in their chosen profession, they are extraordinarily gifted—Dr. Johnson in music and Dr Canady in art Dr Johnson was happily married to Miss Josephine Hatchett, of Portsmouth. Va.. pril ptg.V They have only one ■ Itild. a girl, who even at the age of five shows marked musical ability. Dr. Canady is unmarried, but claims as his bride his profession and his art. in which he is so accomplished. Dr. Raymond Jackson is located in Lexington. Va., where he 1ms the reputation of being a prosthetist of rare ability. His practice ha- grown to such an extent that he o]tenues two chairs with the help of an able assistant. He was offered a professorship in the chair of Prosthetic Dentistry in How ard. so I hear, but did not accept liccause he has endeared himself to his ixtticnts to such an extent they refused to give him up. He and his wife, however, are planning a trip around the world in the fall, after which hr will sjH'wi some time studying dentistry from the viewpoint of the Kttropcan dentist. The writer practices her profession in Los Angeles, Cal., seeking to do honor Imtli to her Mma Mater and t � her chosen profession. I hope.

Howard University. like many other institutions. found herself confronted with the difficult problem of accommodating the host of men and wonu-n who applied for admission. With this onrush the Dental Class of !! ;;{, representing twenty two States of the United States and provinces of two other countries. Iiegan it career with one hundred and twelve members, among them one woman. These men, wlmse very countenances 1 espokc perserverance and determination. were destined to attract attention in more wavs than one. Being the largest class t • ever matriculate in am of the professional schools and realizing the value of unity, the Class immcdiatcl) became organized: not merely to stress the v eia] activities, hut t render what aid it crnild to agreeably assist the University in the management of such large mmilx rs against unfavorable circumstances In order to foster more interest in the dental profession, the Class was instrumental in getting the Univcrsin to invite, as it guest, one of the most prominent dentists oi Chicago and the most eminent of the colored dentists. Dr Charles Bentley, whose scholarly and instructive lectures and clinical demonstrations will long l.e rcmcmltcrcd l� v those who were fortunate enough ti Ik. present. Mindful of the fact that loyalty and faithfulness should extend lieyond the daily routine of classroom work, the Class has l ecn well represented in extra-curricula activities, having eight “I I” men who hcl|K. d t Bring honor to the University in footlvall, track and Baseball. The social side lias not l cen neg-lected. for each year the Class has spent an evening of pleasure with members of the faculty and friends at its Annual Receptions. This year, as is customary. the Senior Dental Class and its friends were included as guests of the Class. Quite runtrnn to what lias Itcen the custom with other large freshman classes, this Class entered its soplKunore yeai with one hundred and eight memlicrs ; the junior year with one hundred, and unless something unavoidable apjicars on the scene to shatter the determination licgun in UH! .

Nowhere in the cit Washington was the passing of Dean Leighton felt in the same way as it was felt in the Howard University Law School. Although those who loved Dean Leighton in his lifetime and now mourn his los lx legion in nttmUr. even so in no group of hearts did news of his death arouse such poignant regret a-. gripjied the hearts of the thousands of colored men and women who came under the l� enigii inthienee of the deceased during his service � • � r the great uplift at Howard University. Here alone he was Dean. Here lie served Imth his U.od and his fcllawman. as he served no oilier cause anywhere. Here he stood his ground for forty vears. giving the lies! there was in him. holding without ajxilogy and with an unflinching courage a | st which others dared not diarc with him for an hour Surely, then, of such a man as Dean Leighton, it must lie heralded far and wide that a hero and a great man is fallen in Israel today.

It was a bleak � ct •' r clay when eighty-six ardent spirit' were ushered into the .Vssetnblv loom • • t the School of l.aw. It was with some degree of curiosity and hesitancy that we took our seats in await the final moment that would send us forth upon man's uohlcst |Ucst, the study of the law. ur anxiety was somewhat allayed when, presently, the Faculty tiled in. The late Dean Finer itus Leighton wa introduced and. witlt words of fatherly wisdom and kindness, he Hide us welcome There was also the kindly face of Judge Koliert II. Terrell, whom most of us had chanced to know and to esteem Lastly, there were the old landmarks, Prof. Richard' and Prof. Hart, whom we have since learned t« love localise of their knowledge of the law. their unfaltering devotion to the race, and because it has Ix-en our gcxnl fortune to he the legatees of sonic thirty years of their unselfish service. Thus the (’lass of ‘■•Q began it-, life. Most interesting is 'i‘ ! in many res| ccts. Having heguii with eighty six memlers. we come to the end with lifty-eight. the largest contingent ever graduated from the School of l.aw iu the history of the l.'nivcrsity. A further interesting feature U the itumlier of Portias of the class We Ix-gan with .-even and end with four. Cupid has. perhaps, been rcs|� onsiblc in some degree for the depletion of the ranks of the Portias but. tor the most part, they have held their shields intact and, of some, it may l e said that ‘‘Cupid's darts have not pierced their hearts hut have fallen broken at their feet . The Portias have the distinction of ranking among our lx st students, and tlu-y have demonstrated marked ability in the trial of case in the Moot Court work. It was under the leadership of these voting women that a Sorority. Kpsilou Sigma lota, was organized for the young women of the School of haw. The war record of the class i- one of which it may justly feel promt Thirty-seven of it memliers “took up the |tiarrel with the foe in the recent war. twenty-two of whom had been in action somewhere along the Western Front when retreat was Mutinied on Armistice Day. four of whom helped to lav down the final barrage in sup]x rt of the !l“d Division in its attack upon tin- outer defenses of the fortress of Metz. We were also represented in the Navy, Itaviny had a Chief Petty miu-r on the battleship ermont. The life of a soldier, unhappily, having its jKtthetie aspects. we have mmiic wIk� were wounded, some maimed. and others disabled by the rigor of military service A grateful government has taken up the task of reconstructing and rehabilitating these young men to the end that they may protect, uphold and preserve the institution of our government in |� encc as they Itavc in war. These arc they whom '2'i delights to salute as the class own. Our first year was uneventful save for the early cropping out of the ( lass lighting spirit. The life of an organization, like any other institution, is very largely sha| ed and fashioned hy the times in which it ha lived. Twenty-two had its inception in war. It has lived through the most trying jicriod of the history of the nation. Like mankind the world over, yve Itavc a passion for justice, undoubtedly rendered more intense by our search for its principles often hidden and obscured h is little wonder then, that the spirit of light. Iiorn of struggle and a love for justice, should remain unabated to the end. li the writer could pay any tribute to 'i'i it would Ik- to its lighting spirit Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war. We licgan the middle year under fairly auspicious circumstances, though ill-liealth. misfortune and reverses of one kind or the oilier had reduced our mini her to sixty -six. This year will be remembered as one of the most im]x rtant in the history of the School of l.ayv. Under the leadership of the late Dean Richardson, the School of Law was reorganized, it- curriculum supplemented and rearranged, in order that the requirements of the American Association of Law Schools might I - met This was a great step forward, but, | crliaps. a disadvantage t us in the main However, the class met the change with courage and determination, ami we managed to pull through somehow though with a reduced average. We had the good fortune to lie represented during the year on the Varsity Foot I ml I and Debating Teams. On the former hy V A. Haynes and on the latter by scar C. Brown. I yventy-two has. since the beginning, played an important part in the life of the University. So, the years in their mad rush have brought us to the close of our Senior Year, the outstanding feature of which is the publication of the Professional Schools' Year Pooh. I'he idea of a Professional Schools Year Book was originated by ()scar Brown. I 'ntler bis leadership, backed by the School of Law. the oilier schools of the University were invited to pnrtici|Kitc. A meeting was arranged, and the Schools of Religion. Dentistry and Pharmacy gave their consent So. we claim the distinction of originating, fostering and helping to put across the tir t Year Book of the Professional Schools of the University. It would seem that the most interesting feature of the life of ’22 i the increase in membership over tlint of former classes, particularly so, since it i only within recent times that race men have lieen conceded any degree of success in the practice of the law. Perliaps, we arc learning, at last, that it is |)olitical jiower that lias so long lieen the means of subverting our liberties and infringing our rights. Likewise, whatever measure of freedom we have enjoyed, we owe it largely to political power. I lxdievc the principle of warfare was initiated by LudrndorfT that when an army is on the retrograde its line of defense shouhl he Imilt tijion automatic arms. It stiffens resistance and exacts a greater toll, said he. It scents to me that we could draw a useful lesson from this simple, yet striking truth. Whether or not we are on the retrograde may Ik- a disputed question but. government is of the essence of political piwer and. if through its imj crfcctions. political power is abused, it Incomes inijiortant to find a means of correction and defense against its abuse. We. of the legal profession, lielicve that, if we are to protect and presene whatever we enjoy of liliertv and freedom, our line of defense should Ik- built upon automatic arms, around men who know the origin, growth and development, scope, and the limitations of jMilitical power under our system of government.

Law and I Is Call to Women By ZfI’Hyk . .Mikikk. Liw. '2‘i. We are living, we art dwelling In a grand and an awful time. In an aye on ages telling. To ! ■ living is sublime. These words, though uttere l in another age were never more appropriate than in this, the one in which we live, and while this is true, it lieconies preeminently so when civilisation with regard to the general status of woman is made tin criterion of judgment. The advantage and opportunities ojk-ii t«� the womoi of today to pre]Kire themselves for service in practically even hranch of social and |M litical t ndtavor are potent factors in the development of this present great democracy ol which we Insist For centuries there has liren the widespread feeling among physicians and lawyers that theirs are men’s professions and that women, no matter how-well trained in these professions, arc outsiders and intruders. Some of the leaders in each profession have not held this view: the war has done something to shake it. and the new |Hilitica1 status of women is helping to do away with it. This attitude on the j«rt of professional men. however, has played its I art in deterring women from entering medicine and law. together with the length and cost of training and the difficulty of establishing an independent practice. I.aw is a profession much less commonly entered by women dun is medicine It In-ing the most conservative of all professions, its standards and methods of training are far less well estahlislicd. arid it has l� een less affected hy the modern social spirit Vet. in spin of the fact that it suffers from l ing dominated hy tlx spirit of precedent ratlicr than by the spirit of scientific mpiiirv. there are signs that it is entering u| n a i crkxl of reorgani-- atioii, standardization, and socialization. It ha always commanded the interest and services of men « f the highest ability. and its professional contribution to public and social welfare, tin securing of justice in human relations, has never lieen so imperatively needed. There is a strong movement within the profession hr the simplification of American legal procedure which is overburdened with precedent and detail, and for a clearer recognition of it' public and social obligations, a greater emphasis njxm its responsibilities as the guardian of essential human rights, and the futhcrancc of justice to even economic and social group. These newer developments in the legal profession strengthen its ap|x al to women. Their own new jMilitical status tends to widen their legal opjiur (unities, and will enable them to take a more active part With in die admin istration of justice and in the promotion of sound legislation. The law needs imperative!) men and women who arc not merely class-minded ami proj erty minded, but who bring a trained and active intelligence to Lear uj� on the difficult problems of justice in modern human relations The call to women tor sen ice in the legal profession is undeniable. Their relative detachment from vested interests and large property transactions leaves them free to devote themselves to the human ami preventive side of law. Women lawyers arc especially needed in matters concerning the protection ami welfare of women ami of children. They are needed in legal aid societies. They are also needed as judges in juvenile courts, municipal courts, courts of domestic relations, small claims courts and the like. Just at present there i' almost an obligation u|H n women lawyers of sound, lil cral education, through professional training, strong character, and indisputable -landing in the community, to liecomc candidates for judicial and other public offices. New York has a woman assistant district attorney, and a woman city magistrate presiding over the women’s court and the court of Domestic Relations. Washington. D. C'.. has a woman judge of tlu juvenile court, and one in the Municipal court Another lias lx eti elected jmlge in the court of Common Picas in Ohio. Another has been federal probate attorne fur Indians in Oklahoma. A California woman has just | een appointed an assistant attorney general « f the United States, the first woman t � hold melt a position. Without li nt ht then- is a steadily widening tie Id tor women with legal training, and those who wish to enter the law should endeavor to secure preparation in a law school of high .landing in which the training includes study by the case method, practice in moot courts, and emphasis u|� on modern legal and mm ini prol.tems as well as technical legal procedure. This training should Ik Ittsed ti|x n a comprehensive liU-ral education. including some Latin and a course in economics, sociology, philosophy. jmlitical government, ami psychology with attention to its ahnonnal nsjieets. I’hey should Im women ,,l robust health, dear and vigorous minds with ability to weigh evidence im|iartially, to handle detail, to reach practical decision without losing idealism. anil aLne all to manifest an inexhaustive interest in the workings f the body politic and the workings of the (topular mind. According to the census of 1PJJ0. there arc now l.oOO women mcmlters of the bar. Of the seven law schools of highest entrance requirements, liar vanl. Columbia. and Western Reserve do not as yet admit women. The Yale Law School was o| ened in I ?• I • - J0 for the first time tci women with a satisfactory college degree. The I 'niversity of Pennsylvania Law Sdiool has l«en ojjcii t them since 18! 8. and there is little doubt that the next few years will find the three alwvc mentioned universities opening their doors. When we pause to consider the outlook, the scope, and opportunity for women to engage in earnest professional endeavor, and not the encouragement given them, together with their corrcs| ndingly awakening interest along these lines, we are forced to say ours is an age when to l� c living is indeed sublime, and whatever may lie tin fault to our democracy, it is still great.

It is a fundamental rule of natural law, that in dealing with the same subject matter, different individuals will arrive at various conclusions It is e |uall true, ujmhi examination of a single subject, that they will approach from entirely different angles, and stiil.Uirnly contend for their views, which may I .- directly op|iosite. Therefore, should niy opinions run counter with those of am reader of these lines, it is with utmost respect for the views of my up| onent that 1 take the lilwrty to -jK-ak my sentiments freely and without reservation. h'irst of all. success is ini| ossihIe in the practice of law. unless the student is willing to | crform the Inliorious duty of long, systematic study ami research; his training must Ik- consistent, thorough and extensive. so that he may Ik. sure of his ground. It a student fails to thus auptit himself, wl � can measure tile offense of permitting him to enter ami occupy tin- practical field of such a lofty, lilK-ral and honorable profession When the cost of -uffi-cicnt legal learning has Ik-cii paid, one is said to Ik? learned in the law. and the discreet lawyer is privileged to wield extensive and formidable |Movers, either (or ginnl or for evil. For the purposes of gcnvtal practice, the study of law i- divided into two great hranches, the theory and the practice. The first include' the legal principles l. which (|uestions and coniro cr-ics arc determined; the second confine- itself to the presentation of the case in proper form. - -indents of the law. our pupilage ha- |� --e l ami we are aliout to enter the ranks of the practitioners. But for those of u- who continue as faithful followers of the learner) profession, study will end only with our professional life. With the growth and expansion of our present civilization, the practical field oi the lawyer has Ik-cii extended far licyoiid the confine- of hi- legal profession. The world much needs the hem-lit of his suju-rior ami legal training in the establishment of its jMilitual and industrial institutions and m the systematic regulation of its social fabric. So tlvit the efficient lawyer lias Ik-coiuc as indis| eiisil� le outside of the practice of law as within. True indeed the field of np|M rtliuity has expanded far and wide, so that one lias Ihii to proj -rlv fit himself for the grave res| onsiliilitics; still in every case success seems not yet assured. I fid the matter ever strike you as strange, tint in -pile of fate, a certain class of lawyers apparently follow in the wake of tame and success? They ride over every op|M sition without hinder or harm, like the shadows of a noomlay sun. they never look around 'fir c eu think oi looking hack, but the) forge their way onward in the rank of t lit leaders, in the fields of law. business, society and politics. They Ivcmne an inscpaiahle | ait of the community life and are welcomed in the best dt homes, indeed die glad hand is extended wherever the) mav go. 1'Ut when you observe them closely you arc very apt to find that they are the lawyers who deliver the g « l . I uc failures iu lire -it around and complain, that the world lias not given them a chance; they have no shelter when the ram falls, nor a lank roll to drive away the wolf. You will find them knocking their fellow lawyers with their hammers, hm very seldom have a ;u t cause; they keep the air tilled with their woes and sighs; ju-t search him a bit and you arc apt to discover that he Ivlicvcs the world is going wrong, lint the Lawyer who is alert ami right on the job. playing the lifty-fiity game all the while, is the one who succeeds and goes rollicking on. because he lives by his brain and the moisture of his l.rovv. Kmerv.n says. That the truth i an element of life, yet tf a man fasten his attention on a single aspect of the truth and apply himself to that alone, for a long time, the truth itself ltecomes distorted and is itself a falsehood. The times demand, that, as men who are engaged in the work of the world, we should see clearly that a large |portion lies lieyond the profession. We should seek t touch men elsewhere than on their legal side. It has lieen said that the subject of law in its widest sense, comj asses every human action and in its minutest details to measure every human duty. Thus it most naturally brings the lawyer into the activities of society and public affairs. We must figure in our duty outside of the profession and become imlisjien-siblc leaders in our rc-j cctive communities. Let us use the training which conies from our cx| cricncc and practice, not only in the courts ami office, but to discourage enterprise- which are hostile to die spirit of law and justice. As private citizens we should lie able to exert our powers in shaping public opinion: conditions will demand that we act aggressively at times and at others in a conservative manner, but. Ik that as it may. we should by the very nature oi our training act a- a balancing power in public thought. To study ami to know i- the signal of our calling, it is only then that we can demand all that law and justice can give With steadiness and sobriety of mind let us assist in restraining public opinion from wild excursions into the domain of lawlessness, and make ourselves tit and pro| cr to art in any crisis. Lastly, we should Ik eager and untiring in developing a passion for the profession of law: its fundamental principles constitute the foundation upon which we stand; ii is the protection and safeguard of all that we are and all that we mav ho| e to U .

No abstract terms liave I teen used oftener by jurists and statesmen of modern times, than law ami civilization When we think of law. we think of justice, the foundation uj on which it rests. When we think of civilization, we think of democracy, that ideal state of conditions to which it tends. Law, justice, civilization, and democracy.—to develop and | er| ctuatr the principles which these terms represent, jurists have dedicated their lives, statesmen liave expended untiring energy, soldiers have spille l their life's Mood on fields of battle. Why? Because it is a part of an infinite plan that man attains to the highest | o sih!e stage of development; it is that inatc desire Ixtrning within the human breast to manifest Ins likeness to C.ml. And without the practical application ami actual realization of the principles represented l. these abstract terms no progress towards full development can lie had. So civilization means die stage of development and progress that nations have reached in this twentieth century. The word became current in the nineteenth century, under the influence of a new world of ideas. It includes both material and moral progress. Civilization is. in other words, a laliel with which we lag, for convenience sake, the modem world. But tin-re can lie no civilization without recognized law. uniformly enforced. History shows that throughout the ages, wherever this fact has l� eeit di regarded. the civilization and governments of nations have tottered and crumbled into ruined heaps. )ur Attorney leucral has saw! that “respect for law and order is the one essential fact of onr civilization. Without it life, lilierty and property are insecure, without it civilization falls back to the chaos and anarchy of primitive times Under such conditions each human luring is compelled to attend primarily to his own safety and to the protection of his own property, ami has neither time nor opportunity for the intellectual, moral or spiritual development. ' lo maintain rcxjieet for law aittl order ami thus preserve civilization, the laws must ! • founded tipm and administered according to the immutable principles of nature It is tin- duty of tin- lawyer to mould and shajHr the laws enfofwl l the civtii cd governments; it is the task of the lawyer to make the existence of civilization possible. If we would answer the demands of this threat calling. we must liavc an appreciative sense of the majesty of the law: of its moral dignity: and of it' historical office. It is a subject as world-wide a' civilization, and limited only l� y the lioundary lines of human knowledge. ne of the world’s greatest scholars has said of the law that it is the pride of the human intellect, the collected wisdom of the ages, combining the principles of enternal justice with the boundlevariety of human concerns. Let n not as idealists, dream of civilization only in the abstract sense. Wc arc too prone to forget or overlook the harsh truth tliat civilization must have material resources in order to develop or even survive. It does not hang in the air; it cannot exist in the realm of ideas alone. It requires public security and easy conditions of life; and these in turn dC| cnd on organized government and healthy linances. Civilization lias been descrilwd as a plant that requires careful cultivation.” It is a hot-house flower. It will thrive only wltere economic, social, ami political conditions are jieculiark favorable Such conditions are maintained in civilized governments by jeaknisly gnard-ing ami protecting the fundamental rights of each citizen or subject with established law. An eminent American jurist said of our government: It is my firm conviction that the love of lilierty of Iil«cri regulated by law and a general ami habitual reverence for and obedience to tin- constitution ami laws, are the only ties which can surely hold together our vast republic. These arc the courses of our greatness ami the foundation of our hopes. .Vo man can foretell with anv reasonable assurance of certainty wliat would liecome of our (Government it it were not for the restraints in the written constitution. This written constitution is the “greatest jewel of our lilierty : it is the great break-water” against the sudden and inqietuous jassions of the | op!e “for the hour—against the tumultuous rage of democracy.” In the outline prepared for this article, the writer had planned to picture the American government as having the | 'ssil,ilities and as more nearly approaching that ideal state of conditions which we have termed civilization. In that the law under the sway ui judicial supremacy has spread over this immense territorial realm protecting the inlubilants • � l the cities which have sprung like magic creations from its soil.” entering into tin formation of communities whose aggressive industries have conquered acres by acres the virgin lands from river t ocean; shadowing and protecting the citizen in bis personal and property rights wheresover his remote hoitu ««r rude abode. I had not planned to discuss the shortcomings f our government in enforcing its laws for the protection of the Colored Citizens, Iwcnuse this question is fully discussed daily hy every writer or shaker of our race. But this plan cannot in conscience lie carried out. I have just been forcibly reminded. I� y glaring headlines in the daily paper, that our America, the land of tin- free and the home of the brave. that grim monster, n «b violence, still exists, fhi- monster is grappling at the throat of the civilization of this great goverumerit and means its -lire destruction. Our constitution forbids the taking « | life, liberty or prci| crt of citizens without due process of law. Again three Negroes. American citizens, were deprived of life without due pn ces of law in the State of Texas They met an awful death.- burned at the slake at the hands of an angry mob. 'Tis too horrible to contemplate. Civilization hi this country cannot hope to long survive, if such acts of reckless disregard for law and order continue. Progress is inconceivable where anarchy and disorder prevail. Do I mean that we must despair of merican civilization: Men dviuld never despair. Indeed the task is great, but the foundation is laid we have the basic law. It only remains for the Negro lawyer t • secure its protection to his own people. All of the imjKirt.uit statutes that have been enacted to meet every great crisis have been drafted by lawyers. All the constitutions that have advanced the lilicrties of the jtcople lutve liecn written hy lawyers. A casual glance of country’s legislative and judicial history will disclose that almost every great and substantial ami statesmanlike movement tlut lias redounded to our national honor lias sprung from the brains of men who were eminent as lawyers All the great advancements in the world's progress from the Sargonso f Assyria and the I’haroahs of l gypt to America's Wash ington and Lincoln. Iiave l ecn accompanied and fosterer! by the truths and philosophy of the law So civilization and the law are insejwrablc That is why ugnste i ’unite laid such stress upon the tremendous question of public order Let us adopt his motto. Order and Progress. and lusten the realization of an ideal ci ilization. Justice, the Assurance oj Domestic 7 ranquility It is t i Ik indeed, rtf irelCc«l that we -houbl even Iw moved to the assumption tluit any grave and visible irregularities exist, as regards the tights. I r� v ileges and imnmnilies of citizen' within the territorial confines of a great civilized and democratic government, constituted. as has been so often intimated and declared, of for. and by the people. However, it i' inevitahlc that we Ik- guided by the lamps of experience We may well relinquish our reluctant assumption, and base our discussion iqnm die plain, hui painful truth: for Truth, though denied, 'till remains the Truth, and though carefully and cautiously concealed within the remote recc'ses of seclusion, will in tune reveal itself triumphant. It Ijchoovcs us to resort to a careful study of the Constitution of the Cnitcd States of merica. and we need go no further than it' preamble to ascertain the principles iqion which the greatest union of states was founded, and the manifest llteory ujmn which the framers luij e | to perjietuate and exjtaud the I ’uiun. Wliat were those principles1 We. the [teople of the 1‘nited States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility. provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of lilierty to ourselves and jxisterity. do ordain and cstah-lisli this Constitution of the Tinted States of Xmerica. Here we have what ap|iears to lira collection of principles, hut in the midst of that collection wc find one outstanding principle which might justly Ik- termed the vital principle of the Constitution, and that principle is the principle i Justice. The other principles enumerated arc merely auxiliary or explanatory of the principle of Justice, for with the establishment and the projier exercise of the principle of Justice, the other principles enumerated would lie inevitably sclt-o|x rating. The union of the people will be more intact: domestic tranquility will lie insured; the common defense will be provided for and the blessings of the liberty will ! • secured to present and future generations What. then, is this Justice of which we speak? Justice has l� een briefly and concisely defined as the giving to every man his due Thi' principle ol justice ha' been recognized in human society almost from time immemorial. The immortal Cicero, in the course of hi writings, interposes the principle that No man can say that he has anything his own by right oi nature. hut either hy an ancient immemorial seizure. ns tlmse who ;ir t planted uninhabited countries; or. seeondlv b conquest. i those who have got things hy right of the sword, or else hy some law. ootnjKict. agreement, «ir lot ' The wise American fathers who framed the ' onstitntinn of the I'tiited Stn es. realizing the selfish tendencies wh'ch have chara -teri c I Irintanitv since t'te inception of human history, and desiring to safeguard t.u equilibrium ot American society against any future controversies among it citizens, as re gards the questions of precedency r priority, provided expresslv in tlu Fourteenth Amendment that “All person horn or naturalized in tlu i 'tiited States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the I nited States and of the State wherein they reside o Suite shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privilege and immunities of citizens of the 1 nited States: nor shall any State deprive am | erson ui life, lilwrtv, m property without due pro e s of law. or deny to any | ei oii within it juris diction the equal protection of the law .'' The language of this amendment i so plain that he who run may read and clearly understand. It declares the constituent citizenship of the 'nited States. It declares, in so many words, the re't . privileges, and iuinvimt.c of one to lie the rights, privileges, and immunities of all It declares the common right to life, liberty, ami property Xml. lastly it declare tint all laws, such as conform to tlu Constitution, shall he general in their npp icatiou. The Constitutional fathers endeavored to build wisely. They knew trout their study of past society and from their own cxjuricnce that a plan if justice was the only safe means of maintaining the social equilibrium of the government. They knew that wherever in human history there has lx cn a departure from the plane of Justice, there has simultaneously, or co� eq-i. n-dally, l� ccn oppression, su'Tciing. dissatisfaction anarchy. rebellion, m revo lution. They knew that the desire for justice i one of the natural attributes of man. They knew that human nature will eventually militate against constant deception, oppression, and discrimination. Man desire justice, because he is a man. Mr Woolscy. in the course of In i tit rod ml on t«� ins great treatise upon International l.aw. interpose the principle that “In order to protect the individual mctnltcrs of society from one another, and make just society jws ible, the (. reator ha implanted in hi nature certain conceptions which we call right , to which in every case obligations correspond. “These.” he goes on to sty. are the foundation of the v cnt of justice and the ultimate standard with which law arc compared, to ascertain whether and justice, and liccausc the physical, intellectual and moral natures of all they arc just or unjust They evolve, amid all the inequalities of condition, a substantial equality of the inciiil cr$ of society In-fore the tribunal of law imply the same capacity and destination of man, his rights and powers of free action must correspond � n this basis within the state, and often without any direct co-operation of its members, a system of law grows up which, while tt may lie imperfect, approaches with the progress of society in knowledge. and moral cultivation to the standard of j� erfect justice. Ii grows out of the nature of man. ’ The one great underlying cause of the colonization of America was the desire for justice and liberty The tyrannical treatment of the colonists and their bloody struggle for justice and independence won for merica the admiration of the world. The eyes of the jK-rsecnted and oppressed have ever In-en turned toward mcrica. as the eyes of the Israelites were turned toward Canaan, the land of promise and plenty, and as the eyes of Islam turn- toward Mecca, the sacred city of Mohammed. Ju .tice is the greatest inducement that can be offered to human beings We observe that, out of the remote and little known regions of northern, eastern, and southern Europe forever marches a vast and endless army, nondescript ami ever changing in personnel, without leaders or organization, moving on toward the gates of America, seeking justice and opportunity, and the pursuit of happiness, such as has U-cn guaranteed to all men by the founders of this great Republic. The Constitution of the United States, as one has said, is the greatest and most complete plan of government that has ever been invented by the human mind. We think it fitting to refer to it occasionally ii not often, lest wc forget the great and noble principles which it embodies, and. Iwing reminded, when we note around us. situations arising which arc in the very teeth of its express provisions, vve cannot hut look askance upon its principles and consider them simply as vain theories. We ask ourselves the question, why arc men unjust ? Wc are told that the desire to do justice moves from the heart; that Justice is an attribute of Religion Quoting Sir Richard llookci, vve aic told that “So natural is the union of Religion and Justice that wc may boldly deem there is neither where both are not For how should they be un-feigncdly just whom religion doth not cause to be such, or they religious which arc not f«Hind such hv proof of their actions? If they which even employ their lal or and travail al� out the public administration of justice. follow it only as a trade with un |iicncliable and unconscion.nl lc thrist for JJttin, Uing not in heart persuaded that justice r Cowl's own work, ami themselves His agents, in this business. the sentence of right Gwl own verdict, and themselves Mis priests to deliver it: formalities of justice do hut serve to -another right, and that which was necessarily ordained for the common good is. through shameful abuse, made the cause of common misery. It cannot but be conceded that the application of any principle is producti-r of its attendant and inevitable result. Thus the application of the principle of common justice is the surest means of developing social unity, and social unity undoubtedly constitutes the strength of a nation A state or nation is no stronger than its organized constituents. The imjiortancc of a social unity within the state was recognized in this country even Iteforc the formation of the I’nited States of mcrira. In our imagination we see the ragged banner of the colonists lien ring ujwn it the dismembered figure of a scrjicnt. and above the seijK-nt that historic inscription. In union there is strength. We heat again at a later date those memorable words of Daniel Webster as lu pleaded for the preservation of the I'liion. Lilierty and union, nmv and forever, one and iusejarafilc.’ I’hc I’nitcd States of America is constituted of a heterogeneous mass of human beings, of all races, colors, and naiionali-ties, but even so, with thv pr � ;� er administration of justice we can insure for ourselves a national unity. There can lie unity in difference. Tagore, the great blast Indian jx ct and philosopher, sounded tlx. keynote to the solution of social problems when he said in the course of one of his writings: We want a social unity, within which all different people can be held together, yet fully enjoying the freedom of maintaining their own differences. I'nity in difference as the river, nmv hurrying along Utween steep hanks, now loitering over the shallow meadow reaches, now flecked with foam in its swift flow, now dappled with sunbeams in its smooth and level course, now lashed to fury by the summer airs, still remains the river the one. So the stream of humanity, whether expressing itself in higher or lower type, in white, or yellow, or Mack or red. or brown men. whether rushing torrent like through the great ways � «f modern commerce and industry or sleeping hi the hack wafers of thought and reflection i one. If that great man meant anything at all. he meant that justice must 1h. administered to all. w thnot any discrimiiiatiun as regards race, color, nationality or cconor 'c condition. However, in | ite of ihe many visible error;, in justice which present themselves from time to time, we are ju tffied m looking optimistically toward the future. The various international conferences and ilie numerous treaties and agreements resulting therefrom evidence the fact that nations have lieguu to realise tlu- im|� ortance and necessity of justice ami unity in their intercourses with one another. The provisions of these treaties and agreements, exhibit invariably a spirit of justice and brotherhood. Such is tire tendency as regards our relationship with foreign nations. But let us. above all things, he mindful of the conditions within our gates, l.et us make Justice national, before we attempt to make it international, l-ct us build as we rise; for any other course is inconsistent. As to the result to this nation, of the full and general application of law and justice, let us accept the prophecy of Mr. II. C . Wells, one of tlte greatest living authorities upon human history; a man wlro has Pillowed consistently the history of man from its inception to the present time, and who, because of his intimate Knowledge of the tendencies and characteristics of man. is able to give us a vision of the future state of society, both national and international: “There can Ik. no question that the attainment of the federation of all humanity, together with sufficient measure of social justice to insure health, education and equality to the children l� orn into the world, would mean such a release ami increase of human energy as to ©pen a new (false in human history. Hitherto man has been living in a slum amidst quarrels, revenges, vanities, shames and taints, hot desires and urgent ap| ctites. To picture to ourselves something of the wider life that world unity would ojicn to men is a very attractive sj� eculation. Life will certainly go with a stranger impulse, it will breathe a deeper breath, because it will have disjrclled and conquered a hundred infections of body and mind that now reduce it to invalidism and squalor ' Finally, then, let there he equality before the law and let there be justice to all, in all things, and if in the course of our activities we find the proper application of Justice to work too great a hardship or jeopardize tire happiness and welfare of the people, in that event let Justice he sweetened with Mercy.
