In this dedication we make these men and women symbolic of the inconceivable number who responded to Howard’s cal) for help. They have struck with a master hand, and they challenge Howard to reflect in the lives of those whocall her Alma Mater, the spirit that will mean most to the future Howard. jforetoorD HERE for a moment we grow serious, though a light touch of gayety be mixed here and there. Here among these stately halls, and sheltering trees; just above the lake of blue which mirrors the surrounding scenes and the stars above- here a drama of Howard is being played. To portray herein the activities of the class of ’24, to relate the progress of the University from 18(57 to 1924, and to establish the precedent of an Annual for the entire University has been the object of the 1924 Bison Staff. We realize the limitations and many imperfections of this volume, but we venture to hope that its value as a keepsake will increase as the years come and go. thus compensating in a measure for the anxious days and sleepless nights that have gone into its making. yrfrft Major Wlllltt111 T.

Pliiladelphin m m Cfjc itlctncal Cnbotument Campaign HE HOWARD UNIVERSITY MEDICAL ENDOWMENT Campaign represents two very definite ventures; one. a failure, and the other, a success. The first was an appeal to the philanthropists of the country to come to the rescue of the University in its effort to raise the sum of $250,000 necessary to meet the conditional offer of the General Education Board. President Durkee was met with the definite objection on the part of the philanthropists to do anything more for the race until we had demonstrated our willingness in proportion to our ability, to do something for ourselves. This was the reason for the failure of the first appeal. After a very careful and serious deliberation, the President asked for a year’s extension in which he was determined to put the race on trial in response to the challlenge of philanthropy. Dean Holmes suggested that if it were possible to get one Negro to subscribe one thousand dollars to be paid over a period of three years, it would serve as an inspiration and an example to a like act on the part of others of our group. It was a stupendous venture, the like of which had never been known before in history, that such a definite sum was to be asked for, not of the rich, but of those in moderate circumstances who had never been trained in the school of philanthropy, but whose whole life and thought, interest and activity had been in the way of acquiring the necessities of life. The President of Howard University sat down at a luncheon with seven of our group and put to them the definite challenge of a contribution of one thousand dollars each. Every man responded to the appeal with his pledge, some paying in part and others even as much as the full amount. The inspiration went like wild fire and within a few days the number had increased to thirteen, an even dozen of whom were physicians and one a young lawyer. This “lucky” thirteen was increased within a few weeks to sixty-eight individual Negroes who had accepted the challenge of joining ranks with the pioneers in the venture of concerted race philanthropy. One woman of our race and her husband. Mr. and Mrs Aaron Malone of St. Louis. Mo., subscribed ten thousand dollars, and another young physician made the supreme sacrifice of his life in the gift of five thousand dollars to his Alma Mater. The latter gift was that of an alumnus. Dr. Ulysses S. Wharton, of Altoona. P?.., and but suggests the great part which our Alumni played in the Medical Endowment Campaign, the total contributions of the Alumni being $96,086. The students went on record with a pledge of $25,239.75. and the faculty, trustees, and administrative force, $27,372. To these figures may be added the unprecedented achievement of our race in the matter of philanthropy, having subscribed, to be paid over a period of three years ending Julv 1. 1926. the sum of $202,366.35. To this sum was added a total pledge from white people of $68,846.00. which carried us “Over the Top” with our Medical Endowment Campaign in the sum of $271,212.35. In the words of Robert E. Speer in a prayer at Princeton. “ . t .Vat the Glory Pie.” bearing in mind that it is more noble to pav than to pledge, and that to fail in the fulfilment of our promises would be as great a disgrace, as to ta t, would be worthy of the highest praise. 19 2 1 BISON i ____________________________ cD SBjBBOSBsiiaQStf i 9 2 4 b I S O N T fiy ris aiar i j yssis sse afeRia ea c ssnpjp BBSOBaBB85@ i3B89RaOBlfflR9B fifiBBJ5}5ra9E0BBffl JiMiinin Houston.

As .ci.-it.- K«lltor Scbnouiltbsfincnts The stair of the 1924 Bison, realizing how impossible would have been the publication of this annual, without the assistance and co-operation it has received, takes this opportunity to express its indebtedness to the following: To the Secretary-Treasurer of the University, Dr. Kmmett J. Scott, and the Alumni Secretary, Mr. Emory B. Smith, for the use of many cuts whereby large engraving expenses have been eliminated. To .Miss Josephine Scott of the University Printing Office, who aided the Business Manager in selecting the cuts and removing the dust. To the Art Editor, Miss Pauline Parker, who worked constantly and willingly even before she was elected to the staff about the middle of the year. To Miss Fannie Smith who has relieved the Business Manager and Editor-in-Chief by keeping the office when other duties claimed their attention. To Miss Arline Johnson who secured more subscriptions for the Bison than any other individual, and added a considerable amount to the initial budget. To the members of the Faculty who have contributed readily their knowledge of Howard’s past which was not available in the written records. To all departments and activities of the University for participation and co-operation. To the Photographer, the Engraver, the Printer, the Binder and the Advertisers—and all others who have aided in any way in the publication of the first University Annual in the history of Howard. 37n itlcmorp of General Oliucr Otis J otuarb 2HS 5 s©s s HBHBGfiSBSnBfg sag 1 9 2 4 B I S 0 N £l)c $istorp of J otoarti tHntocrsitp from 1807 to 1024 ..! $ i $ O'] E B :■: T THE CLOSE OF THE CIVIL WAR. human slavery in America had been abolished forever, and a new problem in the field of education presented itself. The immortal stroke of Lincoln’s pen had liberated about four million slaves. This group accustomed to the crudest tools of industry, an almost inhuman man- _________ ner of living, the most imperfect use of a modern language could h. made citizens only in name. The north and south had exactly opposite views concerning the welfare, the possibilities of the Negro. The one was sympathetic, and believed that educational advantages would be one of the chief factors in solving the problem; the other looked upon the freedmen as a hoard of savages turned loose on the country, and had no more desire to help release them from the chains of intellectual bondage than from physical bondage. In addition to their lack of inclination to aid the Negro, there was also a lack of means with which to do so. The north, blessed with both these essentials, took up the cause for the Negro and decided that only his own desire and capacities should determine his limitations. The need of Negro leaders and teachers must be met. Out of such a spirit as this was born the Howard University. A situation of special significance surrounds the founding of this University. The abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia prior to the abolition of slavery farther south had caused a great influx of Negroes into the National capital. The educational problem thus presented was quickly realized by the various freedmen’s aid organizations and philanthropic individuals. The realization of this problem had been the basis of the founding of both day and night schools in elementary instruction for old and young alike. These schools met the need only halt way. though the task of their establishment and maintenance had been difficult in the face of opposition. There were those who believed that their duty would be discharged onlv when an institution of higher learning had been established at the capital of the Nation, where Negro Youth could be trained for leadership. On November 17. I8tf6, at the Columbia Law Building opposite Judiciary Square in Washington. D.C., was spoken the first words from which the Howard University evolved. Using this building as a temporary house of worship, members of the First Congregational Church were on that day holding a meeting on missions. Acting upon a suggestion of the Reverend Benjamin A. Morris, a son of former Senator Thomas A. Morris, the first plan for Howard was to make of the proposed institution a school of theology. The question of finance arose and that brought from Dr. Nichols a suggestion of the possibility of receiving aid from the Freed men's Bureau. This suggestion marked the beginning of the relationship of the University with the Federal Government. The committee appointed to bring in plans of organization, recommended that a night school be opened first and that they apply to the Frcedmen’s Bureau for quarters, fuel, heat, and light; and that three chairs of instruction be provided for. The recommendations were accepted and the first faculty was as follows: Reverend E. W. Robinson, Evidences and Bible Interpretation; Reverend D. B. Nichols, Biblical History and Geography; Dr. Silas Loomis. Anatomy and Physiology. .’i p1 B -V iyj EElS Jcj c 1924 BISON aegs Still this institution had neither name nor local habitation; its only possession was an aim to train colored youth for the ministry. Later the training of teachers was added to the original idea and the doors were thrown open to all who wished to enter, which act gave Howard University the unique distinction of being the first university in America to be established without some discrimination, either on a basis of race, sex, color, or creed. In the charter, provisions were made for departments of law, theology, and medicine; and it was named for the general, the philanthropist, the soldier—General Oliver O. Howard. The act of incorporation was signed by President Andrew Jackson on March 2. 1807; and instruction began in the following May. The first recitations were heard in a rented frame house which had been previously used as a dance hall on Seventh Street, extended, now Georgia Avenue, a little south of V Street. This property was afterwards bought for the University, and later resold when the permanent location was secured. General Howard experienced immense difficulty in obtaining the present very desirable location of the University. The owner of the property refused to sell a part of the one hundred-fifty acre tract, on the plea that the location of a Negro school would depreciate the value of the remainder. General Howard then purchased the entire tract at a cost of one hundred fifty thousand dollars, although the United States' Treasury was empty. With money received from the salt of surplus property and additional grants from rhe Freedmen’s Bureau, residences for several professors and four large buildings were erected. The four large buildings were University Hall, Miner Hall for girls, Clark Hall for boys, and a Medical building. For eight years Howard moved on. but found in May, 1873, that there was a deficit of almost one thousand dollars and every salaried officer in the University resigned as a result of readjustment in salaries and teachers. The university managed to survive the storm which came during the lean years that followed 1873; and came out a little wiser than before. The Freedmen’s Bureau had been abolished in 1873 and General Howard resigned the office of president of the University to re-enter the army. Not wishing to accept his resignation, the board of trustees granted him an indefinite leave of absence. The office of vice-president was revived, and John M. Langston (colored) was elected to that position. It was hoped that a new interest within the race would be aroused by placing a colored man in this position, but the lack of funds continued and he resigned. Philanthropists were not as willing to help in the support of the University as formerly, because it was assumed that the Government was paying the current expenses. On April 25. 1870. the Reverend Dr. William H. Patton was elected president of the university. His administration of twelve years was one of reconstruction and consolidation for Howard. The result of his efficient work was, that, beginning July 1, 1870, Congress appropriated ten thousand dollars toward current expenses. Since that time appropriations by Congress have been regularly made, and have so increased, that the institution at present receives over $360,000 per year from the United States Government. It was under Dr. Patton's administration that Howard rounded out and developed as a University; however, the various departments had 19 2 1 P. I S O N li B made excellent progress. An active Medical School faculty was organized June 17. 1867, and the first classes opened in the old dance hall already referred to. The medical building was then being constructed. The Law School was organized October 13, 1868, with Mr. John M. Langston as dean. This department passed through a very distressing period during the years of financial difficulty. The students fell off rapidly after the Frecdmen’s Bureau passed out of existence, for many of the students had been employees of that bureau. As a result of the loss of this revenue, the law department was either actually suspended or barely kept open with a single teacher and a very few students. Dean Langston resigned in 1871. The law department gradually recovered under the administration of President Patton, and in 1881, B. F. Leighton was appointed dean, which position he luId until his death in 1921. He was, according to A. A. Birncy, one of the most distinguished members of the District of Columbia Bar.” From this reconstruction, dates the period of real growth. The Theological Department, although one of the first planned for the University, was not put into operation until January 6, 1868, and the active operation of it was not announced until 1871. In this announcement. .John B. Reeve is named as dean. This department did not receive funds from the government, and because of the financial embarrassment of the American Missionary Association, from 1872 until 1887, the Pres bvtery of Washington help to bear the expenses of the theological department. In Juno. 1887, the American Missionary Association was again ready to bear the entire expense. Dr. Patton resigned in May, 1887. but consented to continue in office until his successor should be elected. On November 15 of the same year. Dr. Jeremiah K. Rankin was elected to the presidency. Under Dr. Bun-kin. the Normal Department took the name of the Teachers College and was given academic rating with the College of Arts and Sciences. There was still retained an English department in which students might pursue studies in the common branches without professional aim. In 1903 the Commercial Department was organized and the English department merged into it. Both were under George W. Cook as dean. During Dr. Rankin's administration a permanent residence for the president was erected at a cost of twenty thousand dollars; and the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chanel was erected at a cost of twentv-two thousand dollars, in memory of Andrew E. Rankin, brother of president Rankin. Dr. Rankin resigned in 1903 and Dr. John Gordon was elected in 1904. Apparently. Dr. Gordon failed to understand the ideals and mission of the University, and after an unsuccessful term of two years he resigned. Reverend Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkield took up the duties of the office in 1906. He was formally inaugurated, November 15. 1907, which occasion marked the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the University. Seeing the need of expansion for the University and of facilities for the teaching of science. Dr. Thirkield succeeded in raising the government appropriation from less than fifty thousand dollars to over one hundred thousand dollars in a period of six years. Out of special appropriations amounting to eighty thousand dollars, a Science Hall was erected. In 1909 the Carnegie Library was erected at a cost of fifty thousand dollars, the gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie. Dormitories were improved and a system of sanitary plumbing and electric lights was installed. In 1913. the Hall of Applied Science was built at a cost of twenty-five thousand dollars. A special BSSflUffliSBlKaUB 9 2 4 B I S O N Beum mSRBBBSJSfEm department of Music was organized under Miss Lulu Vere Childers in 1909. In 1907, Professor Kelly Miller became dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and through his writings did much to bring this department before the attention of the aspiring youth of the country. In 1912, Dr. Thirkield resigned, and Dr. Stephen M. Newman was chosen as head of the University, in which position he served five years. It was during president Newman's administration that Howard celebrated her fiftieth birthday. Thpre was on this occasion a memorable re-union, and Howard, recognizing with deep appreciation the breadth and vision of her founders who ignored prejudices, and that she might reflect their spirit for the years to come, made the celebration of this semi-centennial one of the events that will star through the ages. This occasion was fraught with opportunities of untold and inestimable value in the light of its history and in view of its future work. There was a very pronounced hope that out of this celebration there would grow a closer union of each alumnus with his fellow, and of the alumni and the faculty and students of the university. The possibilities that had grown out of fifty years of service had in like manner imposed upon those most interested in the development of Howard, correlated privileges and responsibilities, and they were now fully realizing that the enjoyment of the one precluded the possibility of denying tlit other. The preparation for the celebration of the semi-centennial from the alumni point of view included every thought, comfort and provision for the large body of men and women who were expected to attend it. About this time the General Alumni Association, under the leadership of Mr. Shelby -I. Davidson as president, took on new life ami vigor. From one of his stirring appeals to the association, written under the date of March 2, 1916, we quote the following paragraphs: “Finally in our Fiftieth Anniversary more now than ever before, the eyes of the world will he on us. Howard is to take stock, to take an inventory and in this, we, the Alumni, are not to be left out of the equation; and when the question in Napoleonic terseness is asked, 'What has he done?’ we must face the issue and give an accounting of half a century of effort, of opportunity, of service. What can we point to as our accomplished effort for Alma Mater? Will it Ik unitedness of effort? Solidarity of purpose? Oneness in genuine helpfulness, constructiveness. and activity? Let every alumnus examine himself and herself. Except two efforts, the one remaining as an example of applied energy in making the nucleus of the Professorship of Mathematics, now held by our beloved Kelly Miller; the other the Gymnasium project to raise ten thousand dollars, which did not as we had hoped— for one reason or another—meet with the success it merited and is still unfinished, but we do not count it dead, only sleeping. “The Alumni as such is behind those of other institutions in point of loyalty and tangible results of efforts put forth for our Alma Muter. Our confidence in Howard University men and women warrant us in the belief and assumption that, now facing an anniversary which will be notable in the history of the University, each one will rise in his and her might of accomplishment and sound along the line. Howard shall have the Alumni Gymnasium, and I will help to build it.’ ” The idea of the Alumni gymnasium just mentioned in Mr. Shelby Davidson's letter, dates back at least to the year 1908. At a meeting of the Alumni Association of that year, there was an effort put forth to decide? upon some definite aim for the general association in order to keep 1 1 9 2 4 BISON J £V' its interest alive. There was also a desire to combat and refute the oft-repeated criticism that the contribution of the Alumni to the University was always destructive rather than constructive, so it was proposed that twenty-five thousand dollars be raised for the purpose of erecting a science hall. I.ater. Dr. Thirkield, then president of the University, succeeded in securing a government appropriation of $90,000 for a science hall, and advised the alumni body to change its plan and make a gymnasium its objective. A full account of the many and varied efforts to raise the needed sum is given by Dean I). O. V. Holmes in an article contributed by him to the University Record for April. 1910. from which we quote the following: “Never was an enterprise initiated under more favorable auspices or amid greater enthusiasm on the part of those upon whom it must depend foi support. At the beginning members vied with each other in declarations of ardent love and devotion for Alma Mater and of willingness to make any sacrifice or perform any labor for her glorification. When subscriptions were called for. pledges from two hundred dollars down were made with little or no urging, until the total reached nearly two thousand dollars. A permanent committee on gymnasium was formed for the purpose of carrying forward the campaign. This committee took up its task with the same vigor and enthusiasm as had characterized the launching of the campaign. Upon the resignation of Mr. Newman, Dr. .J. Stanley Durkee was unanimously elected to the presidency of Howard University. The election took place on June 1, 1918. and Dr. Durkee assumed the duties of office on July first of the same year. Early in his administration, many internal changes were made at Howard. All secondary schools were abolished leaving a college registration of 1057. Dire disaster was prophesied everywhere, but the college opened for the following year with a registration of 13G7 college students. The whole plan of undergraduate work was changed; the four years of college work was divided into two periods of two years each. The work of the first period was named the Junior Uollege, and the second period was named the Senior Schools. The Senior Schools include the schools of Education, of Commerce and Finance, of Liberal Arts, and of Applied Science. By vote of the trustees, June 4. 1919. the offices of Secretary and Treasurer were combined and Dr. Emmett J. Scott was elected Secretary-Treasurer. He began his services on July 1. 1919. The office of Registrar was created as a separate position, and a Howard alumnus, Dwight O. W. Holmes was elected to that position. Upon his appointment as dean of the school of Education, he was succeeded by F. D. Wilkinson. The offices of both Secretary-Treasurer and Registrar have been placed by these officers on the most modern administrative basis, with rooms on the first floor of Main building. The office of Dean of Men was created, and Dr. E. L. Parks, former Treasurer, was elected to that position. The office of Dean of Women was also created, and the position temporarily filled by Miss Helen Tuck. In 1922. Miss Lucy D. Slowe, an alumna of Howard, was elected to that position. Dean Slowe made the first experiment with student government among the women of Howard, and is responsible for the organization of the Howard Women’s League. A group of offices on the first floor of Main Building has ! een provided for the deans. All the faculties of the undergraduate schools were combined into a general faculty, and entrusted 2 4 B I S O N •r3Ir 3IE-V-r lY with the immediate government of all the academic departments in matters common to all, subject to the control of the trustees. In February, 1920, the board of trustees voted as follows: “One Trustee may be elected each year from a number recommended by the Alumni Association of the University, such Trustee to automatically retire at the expiration of his term of office.’’ Since the report of the committee no vacancies have occurred: and at present there are eight alumni of Howard serving on the board ol’ Trustees. The buildings and grounds of the University have received careful attention during this administration. A greenhouse was erected in 1919 at a cost of $8,000. In 1921. the Dining Hall Building, with class rooms for the department of Home Economics, was erected at a cost of $30 1.000. Plans are now under way for a new gymnasium and stadium. Howard Hall, the old home of General O. O. Howard, used for many years as a detention house for incorrigible children, has been reclaimed, the old out buildings torn away, and the home restored as a dormitory for girls. In the Main Building, a United States post office has been established, thus serving the postal needs of the faculty and students. Also in the Main Building there has been equipped a Rest Room for girls and one for women teachers and workers. Under the head of “Improvement of grounds, come the following: Reclaiming of the bank overlooking tin Reservoir, formerly a dump for cans and a place for burning rubbish: trees on the campus have been treated twice; large flower beds of rare beauty have l� een placed; plaza and front of Thirkield Science Hall made beautiful, concrete walks anti steps to Sixth Street provided; fence surrounding the lower half of the main campus; unsightly plot of ground on Georgia Avenue changed into a beautiful little park with paths crossing and steps leading up to Sixth street; surroundings of Howard Hall graded and granolithic walk and steps placed; grounds surrounding th School of Music beautified; underground electric lighting system installed with posts and globes like those used in the District of Columbia. For the year 1922-23, an increase of $32,500 over the former appropriation of $10,000 was secured for the purpose of putting the University buildings and grounds in satisfactory condition. A summary of the amounts spent for improvements from July 1. 1919 to December 30. 1922 closes with the statement that $126.-130.59 had been spent. There is one department of the University which has scarcely been mentioned but deserves more than mere passing comment. The department in question is the School of Music. Organized by Miss Lulu Vere Childers in 1909, it began its work in the assembly room of Miner Hall. It very soon outgrew the space there allotted to it and was removed to the basement of the chapel. The limited space there provided for it could serve it only a short while and it was afterwards moved to King Hall, a building situated on Sixth Street and facing the athletic field. There was added another building nearby which has become known as the Conservatory Annex. This department has been given rating on a par with the other schools of the University, and gives the degree of Bachelor of Music. The first degree graduate of the Howard Conservatory of Music was Miss Cornelia Lampion, who graduated in 1917. This department shows a decided attraction lor students in all other departments of the University, for many students working for the various degrees offered by the University are also taking up work in the School of Music. The registration for last year was large enough to yield over $9,000 in student fees. One I - u- ii L g U- of the greatest needs of the University at present is more space and additional equipment for the Conservatory of Music. With the opening of this administration there was but one department of the University approved by the rating association of America. The School of Medicine was in class A. In the autumn of 1021 the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland, after most rigid personal investigation, placed the College of Liberal Arts on the approved list. This means that graduates from Howard School of Liberal Arts have the same scholastic standing as graduates from any other tirst-class school in America. In the spring of 1022 the Dental College was registered by the New York State Board of Regents, thus giving it the highest rating. The College of Pharmacy has been given the highest rating with the Pharmacy Board of the State of Ohio. The Law School is now applying for admission to the Association of American Law Schools, with great confidence in the success of its application. Evening classes were mentioned early in the history of Howard. Provisions were at that time made for instruction in elementary and secondary school subjects, and the project was discontinued long ago. During the school year of 1021-22, evening college classes were established, and these have given tremendous impetus to higher education for Negro teachers in the city of Washington. The registration for the first year was 46. It is now about 200. The old two semester system was abolished in 1919 and the quarter system adopted. But the quarter system remained incomplete until 1923. during which year the fourth quarter was added by instituting a summer session which extended from June 25. to August 31. The last big stroke of the present administration was the campaign to raise §250,000 for the medical school. The General Education Board required as a basis for its help that all finances of the School of Medicine be taken over by the general administration of the University and be handled in one office. When this was done, the board pledged the University an endowment of §250,000 for the Medical School on condition that the University would also raise $250,000 by July 1. 1923. The president of the University began a strenuous campaign, and the drive went over the top so far as pledges were concerned. Many of the pledges have been paid already. The question may at some time arise as to whether or not Howard University has justified its existence and the aid that has been given to it. Although fifty-seven years old, it is far too young yet to permit any one to attempt an answer to the question. However, let it suffice to say that Negro education in America would never have reached its present stage without the existence of a Howard University. So, let Howard write a few more pages of her history before we make a very critical reckoning with regard to what she has accomplished, for indeed she has just begun to live. f£ A GAX WM I’.i-iiutifiil Ciiicwny In llowiuil in llu- ill'llr fiilur --- . 1 A SMALL ..THEATRE A uilK'li ini'ili’il .nMitinii |i� llownnl ilM'.siKii l .v A Ily. -I ' f fibrmic Getting of 2)oioarb Snttorrsitp V8� WW C� Qa ............. .. rnivci’sJtv. ?ntt ••! . tin iii« tininM« T -1 . hi., imimtM .................. l� I llii-j : 1I...I 1 .... . ............. ’• (vW,.„ , lIlls III.

Even those earlier attempts which were not fully successful contributed much toward strengthening the ties that bind in one family union the scattered sons and daughters of Howard. Prior to 1007 the alumni body as an organization had a more or less precarious existence, rising at times to a degree of activity which gave great promise of possibilities, only to fall back into a state of lethargy, keenly disappointing to those who felt the needs of a large, enthusiastic and zealous body. In 1890 an alumni professorship was projected at Howard, and Kelly .Miller of the class of ’86 was elected to the chair. In 1896 an alumni catalogue was issued containing the names, positions and addresses of all the graduates up to that time—the first record of its kind in the history of the institution. At present the graduates of Howard can boast of a strong Alumni association under the leadership of the following officers: President, V. Justin Carter, ’90, ’92L. First Vice-President, Scott Wood. ’83, 86L. Second Vice-President, Marie M. Marshall. 97L. Third Vice-President, Chas. E. Johnson Recording Secretary, Sylvester McLaurin, '09L. Corresponding Secretary, Henry A. Brown, ’98. ’99L. Financial Secretary, Lillian E. Burke, 08 Treasurer, Nellie M. Quander, 12 Executive Secretary. Wm, A. Sinclair, 81, 87M. Chairman Executive Committee. V. L. Smith, ’03M. Aside from the General Alumni Association there are also thirty-six local associations, and the area of the Howard Alumni stretches from coast to coast and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. wBiBa wwBiyauwwwwBiwwg«wPM eiPBP«Rg i 2 1 BIS BOOKiS I 'viglit o.

W� J N THE FALL OF THE YEAR 1020 we came to Howard Univer-versity a large class of us, young and eager eyed. “Green” we were just as other Freshmen were before us and as they will continue to be: much troubled by the haughty “Sophs” who seemed at times veritable demons to torment us and at others angels sent to guide us. A rather young class we were in age and were on the whole slightly wild, adventurous and eager to find out what was on the other side. We enjoyed little moments such as were gotten after class meetings when there were stolen “goodnights. Everybody came to Freshman class meeting because one was sure of a goixl time. The class journalist was active in those days and she would hurl at us those delicately barbed shafts of hers. But amid the romping and playing of the year there were some more serious spirits in the class who went out and won the laurels that the rest of us were forgetting about. Yet we all felt the same thrill of pride in those loyal members of ours. Who can ever forget that exciting night. December 3rd. when Messrs. Beaubian. Robb and King won for us the Freshman-Sophomore debate? Then on December 5th, when the unconquerable Freshman football team announced to us their victory over the Sophs, our joy was unbounded and we knew then that as a class our place was made and our record was begun. It was under this victorious atmosphere that we gave our first informal dance on December 11th. Then came the Student Council into our lives directly, Miss Houston and Mr. Robb being elected to represent us on that illustrious body. Two members of the class. Mr. Gilbert and Mr. King were also placed on the Varsity debating team. In that same period of our lives we entered into the social world successfully by giving a formal dance which has never been duplicated. Spotlights, decorations in old gold and black combined to make the affair both unique and successful. In the Spring we were disappointed by the Sophomore girls by their non-appearance on the night of the girls’ inter-class debate. The victory automatically went to the Freshmen. Thus we dosed our first year successfully and with nothing but victories to our credit. As Sophomores we were iust as any Sophomores have ever been. Numerous fights between our class and the more humble Freshmen characterized the biggest portion of our first quarter. Again we debated, the Freshmen this time, and again we were successful. Our debaters were Messrs. King, Beaubian and Beard. Mr. Oscar Beaubian won the silver cup for the best speaking. The girls, I am sure will always remember that debate and the events surrounding it. We will always think pleasantly of the time when we mopped the water from the halls and steps of Miner Hall, and sang “We ain’t got weary vet. This year the Freshman-Sophomore football game was lost, but we were much cheered by the good spirit shown throughout. Our best luu- BISON gj rels were regained by the girls in their inter-class debate. Miss Houston won the silver cup on that occasion, and Miss Burrell, as second best, received a handsome hand-made pillow top. That ear in general was. for the class, one of unrest. Various reform movements were begun on the campus, all of which we assisted in. The class itself was in a state of turmoil. Meetings were few and far between and the year was ended with symptoms of a “storm” brewing in the future. The “cloud as large as a man’s hand” which we saw in our Sophomore year, turned into a regular tornado during our Junior year. We came back from our summer vacation ready to assume all the responsibilities of upper classmen and women but we had not left our class grievances at home with our frivolity. Consequently there came the first evidence of it when we “impeached” and suspended our class president. The Junior class was disorganized and we were accomplishing nothing all of the first part of the year; but gradually under the leadership of Mr. Frank Williams in the last quarter, the class was whipped into shape and we began hastily to formulate plans for our redemption. We were justly proud of two of our members, Mr. F. Robb and Mr. L. King, who went down to Virginia Union as Varsity debaters, and defeated them on their own campus for the first time in the history of the school. It was absolutely proper that the victorious ones should come from our class. Later in the spring the whole class was saddened to learn of the death of one of our dearest companions and most loyal supporters. Miss Mary Burrell. Her death left the whole class in a cloud of gloom as we knew that we had indeed lost a treasure. The scholarships were awarded also in the spring and those that re ceived them were: Miss Dorothy Gillam—French Miss Mamie Neale—German Miss Joanna Houston--English Miss Elmer Binford—Botany Mr. Clifton Nelson—Philosophy Miss Louberta Moore—Psychology Miss Pauline Parker—Mathematics Mr. Alfred Priestly—Architecture Mr. Joseph Cheevers—Accounting Miss Roberta Vancy—Education Miss Neale was also awarded the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority prize for the highest average for that year. We must not forget to mention the production of “The Death Dance,” a play written by Miss Thelma Duncan, one of our talented class-mates. It was very good and quite worthy of praise. The culmination of the Junior year was marked by the Junior-Senior Prom which, under the direction of C. Rucker. F. Smith and N. Bacchus was quite an enjoyable affair. We ended that year quite calmly although it had been begun in so much turmoil. We returned this year as Seniors feeling quite dignified and capable of bearing upon our shoulders all of the burdens of Seniors. The year was begun with some notable achievements by the members of our class. We were happy to see among the “A” students our own class-mates, Miss V. Ruffin and Miss Martha Jones, Mr. John Bowman and Mr. Algernon Phillips. Mr. Clifton Nelson also organized a new society composed of those honor students and students who had received scholarships. This organization is known as the “Kappa Mu society. So far this year we g? ny 1 9 2 () J IB8BgSWE 5fgaagHg gj have had two successful dances and it is prophesied that the Senior Prom in the spring will be even more enjoyable. As a class, we have come through the changes and vicissitudes of four long years together striving earnestly always to do our best; trying to live up to the motto engraved in our colors: “Firmness, Thoroughness, and Superlativeness. We have beirun an Endowment Fund, the benefits of which will accrue to the University for the development of a fund to be used by it. This will be our parting gift to the University. Miss Martha Jones. Mr. T. Spaulding and Mr. Alfred Smith have starred in several plays; Mr Gilbert is president of the N.A.A.C’.P.: Miss Joanna Houston and Mr. E. Beard have served for three years on the Student Council of which Mr. L. King is president. Messrs. King. Robb and Gilbert are varsity debaters. and Miss M. Neale is president of the Women’s Federation League. Various other members of our class have done and are still doing things worth while. We are represented in the University Orchestra. Band. Glee Ulub and Varsity teams of football, basketball, baseball and debating. As we leave here, we will think of our glorious record made at Howard University and will not stop hut go on making records. As Holmes says in his “Chambered Nautilus we will Build thee more stately mansions, O my Soul. As the swift seasons roll. Leave thy low vaulted past. jel each new temple, nobler than the last.

We came by faith, no doubt, not knowing just how we would attain our goal. To the bystander, the work of the ministry may appear easy and the course in preparation for it likewise. This was partly true with us when we entered the School of Religion, but we soon found this belief to be wholly unfounded. We found that the work of and the preparation for the ministry are to be successfully executed only by the “sweat of the brow. With this realization we knuckled down to hard study of the courses prescribed and soon became embryonic preachers. Little by little the great truths of religion were unfolded to us. No one can fully appreciate the meaning of this who has not dug deep into Holy things. Our first year brought doubts and cold misunderstandings to our minds. One author whom we were studying would make a statement of theological fact, another would contradict the statement, and our professor would indicate that neither was right. What perplexity comes to one who just touches the fringes of religious mysteries! The Second year developed a little more sanity in our religious judgments. Doubts began to vanish, God stood out as the great “First Cause,” a God who works bv law. whose laws do not contradict science but make up science itself. All science but unfolds to us God. In this year we were brought to realize that the great work of the modern church is to be Religious Education. In the third and fourth years of our course, a marked clearness in the understanding of things religious, a true love for God, and a definite fidelity and admiration for the social and religious principles of Christ, were as they still are. the strong tendencies of all the members of our class. Our class is seven strong. There is Harris, an energetic and untiring student who loves to argue; Wormley. who gets there in his studies in spite of the Postal Service clerkship which he holds; Pinn, who studies hard, but is a little too much of a modernist in some of his views; Bell, who pleads and teaches law, carries mail and preaches the Gospel; Fisher, whom we might rightly call “The Father of the Faithful ' of the class: and Jackson, who holds the unique distinction of being the only pastor in the class. Through our years of stress and strain, financial and otherwise, we arrived at the place where the sun seemed to shine brighter. We have made great sacrifices in order to secure adequate training for the work to which we feel divinely called. We have gone along with less sleep, less clothes, less luxurious food and other comforts; but now each of us can say with Paul. “I have fought a good fight. 1 have finished m.v course, and now I am ready to be offered up —to whatever field of labor the Lord has in store for me. I I C) 2 -1 BISON Senior (College Class $ropijecp Last night I dreamed. A long, weird, fantastic dream, yet clear in every detail,—a super-dream. Its cause 1 do not know. Perhaps I had been thinking too much and too variedly, upon the future, or perhaps again, I had been eating too much and too variedly, in the immediate past. It seems, that suddenly, without cause—without reason, as is the way of dreams. I found myself in a great shining street. Massive-pi 11ared structures rose on every side, their tops extending far up beyond my view. Everywhere was massiveness—magnificent, colossal,—I felt crushed, appalled, insignificant. Then I noticed a steady stream of people passing thru the miphtv-pillared doorway of a building, on which was inscribed in strange letters,—which somehow I seemed to understand, “THE THEATRE OF LIFE.” As I watched this never ending stream of people, my loneliness left me. I felt an irresistible desire to join them. I slipped into the crowd, passed thru the doorway into the dimly lighted corridor. I was ushered with much ceremony to a seat near what appeared to be a stage so vast, that .t hurt my imagination to look at it. The performance.—if such it was,—was already going on. Someone near the front of the stage was to all appearances, directing the action. He turned once and I saw that his white robe was marked with the word “DESTINY.” Every little while he looked askance at another figure, who gave him signals, and whom 1 had no difficulty in recognizing as that venerable old creature, Father Time. I then turned my attention to the action on the stage. The scene was a court room. Judge, jurors, officials, clerks, prisoners, lawyers,—all were there, but there was a central figure on whom all attention seemed fastened. He was evidently a lawyer, and was talking, not loudly, but calmly and crisply, with an air of utmost confidence. lie was plainly master of the situation,—he held his audience spellbound. A certain familiar something about this figure made me look closer, and after a moment I recognized him. It was Robb. Lawyer Frederick II. Robb,” I read on the little electric signboard at one end of the stage. My eyes shifted back to the stage, the scene had changed. A white room, white iron furniture, white robed figures.—looking very competent in white rubber gloves and sleevelets.—and shining instruments. In the center, an imposing figure of considerable rotundity, with a shining bald spot, and a heavy well trimmed “Van Dyke,” seemed to be at work upon a difficult task. It was an operating room, the figures were surgeons, the figure at work was none other than “Country” Townes, “Dr. Howard E. Townes so the sign board read, and even as 1 looked the lettering changed. Prof. G. Redding, 1 saw written there. Hastily my eyes sought the scene. There, almost hidden by a pile of scattered books and papers on which she was busily at work, was one of the foremost Educators, deep in the intricacies of her latest work in the making. I recognized her as Gwendolyn Redding. W hat a change. Severe shell rimmed glasses, a narrow band of grey hair standing out in contrast, and—but again the scene shifted. I was gazing at a stalwart figure, garbed in a well fitting uniform of nautical cut, with gold buttons and shoulder ornaments, and a black visored cap aslant over one eye. He paced up and down the quarter deck of a huge vessel, which 1 saw at a glance was a man-o-war, huge guns were visible at every vantage point. This figure was evidently an officer of the ship, and as he turned in his pacing I caught a glance and knew him at once as Ted Spaulding. Capt. Theodore Spaulding. A sailor came briskly up and saluted, several others passed on a lower deck. I started in my seat,—their faces were dark. My eyes sought at once for the flag, but the scene had changed again. A battle field.- smoke, dirt. gas. fire, blood, maddened men, twisted faces,—a ghastly scene. A trench.—tense figures, crouching, waiting. Here and there an officer, a tall one there. Lieut. August Terrance. Here a short one, Lieut. Howard Kennedy, and there just beyond him another of slight build, with grim determination written on his face, Lieut. William Edelin. There was a sudden order, crouching figures sprang erect. Over the top. My nerves were taut, 1 grasped the arms of my seat. A dim figure staggered, caught at his throat, fell backward into the trench.— an officer. I sank back into my seat nervously a shake as the scene suddenly changed. No battle scene this. I felt thankful, enough was enough. A beautiful living room, a figure with brown hair arranging flowers in a vase, and every second or two, glancing at the clock or running to peer out of the window. Evidently she was waiting for,—expecting some one. She paused to admire a gold band encircling the third finger of her left hand, then there was the humming of a motor car outside, a grinding of brakes, away she flew to the front door. I looked away to find her name. It was as 1 expected, Martha Jones, and there was another name that I could not make out. 1 turned with interest to see who would enter with her. There was no one in sight. A traveling bag was on the table, it was initialed “L. H.” Then another change.— A fashionable street, a luxurious limousine, a liveried chauffeur, a figure clad in a rich fur coat,—plainly spelling riches,—sweeping haughtily down marble steps to the waiting limousine and bowing chauffeur. There was no mistaking her. It was Stella Shipley. Just a glance and the scene was gone. Next a luxurious office, a figure at a large mahogany desk, surrounded with smoke and aroma from � large black cigar. A gold lettered sign inscribed. “President Clifford, Fifth National Bank. Chicago.” More smoke from the cigar, another change.— A wilderness snow scene, the waste la ml of the North, rocks, a tree or two, and snow, everywhere snow. A lonely figure trudges slowly but steadily along with the sliding gait of one on snow shoes. It is a well knit figure, with a heavy pack on broad shoulders. I can not recognize,— 1 must turn and look,—“Louis King. read the sign. “Author and Philosopher. on his way.” it explained, “to his retreat in the wilderness, where he retires when disgusted with a modern world.” The snow scene vanishes, in its place, a long room cmiinned with long literature laden tables, and innumerable chairs. A political office. If is crowded with women. A banner on the wall reads “Women’s Party.” At the far end of the hall sits a figure, busily giving directions, writing or ?=jg?g g!Mgg fe 2f2f5 E315xaEi 2EH5SS 353I ,5I . dors, acting as general supervisor. Joanna Houston, I decided at once, and so it was. As the scene faded I wondered, “Women’s party, and dark faces there was something strange,” blit another scene.— A street in Brooklyn, a street of beautiful houses and wide lawns. A car drives up and stops in front of a grey stone house. Two children jump out and run across the lawn, then a slender figure in white followed bv a tall figure I could not possibly mistake. It was without a doubt, Hun-ton. W. Alphens Hunton, Jr., of Wall Street, and the slender figure on the walk. Virginia of course, one time Virginia Ruffin. Then California, a sun kissed beach, a lazy summer day, a figure sprawled on the sand asleep, with a handkerchief over his face. I recognize the figure, also the mustache as the wind blows away the handkerchief. it is “Short Hog” Bacchus, enjoying a vacation from the task of prescribing pills, as Dr. Norborne P. Bacchus, A little farther along the beach 1 see Bob Marne, and beside him a face that is vaguely familiar. It looks like, but another change. A school room, a group of students looking longingly toward the door thru which the May sunshine is streaming, a tired teacher also looking toward the door. A bell rings, the students vanish as if by magic, the teacher is left alone. Another teacher enters the room, they greet each other. To me both faces seem familiar, the taller one is Minnie Carwin. and the other Fannie Smith. Two little boys run in at the door. They are evidently twins, they stand for a moment embarrassed then shout together. “Mamma can we go swimming? Which one, but another change of scene.— The interior of a church. Shadowy Gothic arches, great central dome, tempered lights, a dim. robed figure in the alcove behind a raised pulpit. I do not seem to recall such a figure. Then he speaks, there is no mistaking the Birmingham brogue, it is little Banks,—Rev. Melvin Banks, devoted follower of all things theological. Then,— The tropics—a little village. Warm air heavy with the odor of over-ripe fruit,—buzzing of innumerable swarms of insects, excitement. Everyone seems active; scantily clad figures run about hither and thither, aimlessly, but never going far from the river, from whence they seem to expect something or someone. They have espied something coming up the river, a great shout, a sudden congregation at the crude landing. A noisy, modern, motor launch appears, and warps into the landing. A white clad figure in a sun helmet steps ashore and the villagers receive him with loud acclaim. The figure mounts a stump and proceeds to make a speech which is attended with loud cheering. I must consult the sign-hoard.—“A. Crofton Gilbert, colonizer and deliverer of an oppressed people.” 1 turn to look again.—another scene change.— An interior of a V. W. C. A., rather richly appointed for a “Y.“ At the desk in a sort of an inner office, sits a figure evidently in charge, it is Nellie Hubbard. Another figure comes in and goes over to the desk. She has under one arm a bundle of manuscripts, under the other a roll of music. It is Thelma Duncan, prominent playwright and musician of the faculty of the Ethiopian Art school of New York. They converse then walk over to look at two pictures that hang side by side on the wall. They are portraits of the particular benefactors of the Y“ who have made possible the sumptuous building. The artist's name is inscribed beneath. c-i B B 9 ■ p R 192-1 BISON —Pauline Parker, 1 look at the portraits again and recognize Luberta and Elizabeth Moore. Another change.— A football field, vast cheering crowds. Countless banners and pennants. some of which sport a white H. and some a gold L, on a white field. The game is evidently going to be epoch making, judging from the crowd. Celebrities are beginning to arrive, and being conducted to special boxes. I recognize with some difficulty. Elbert Beard, in a high silk hat. frock coat and “Kelly Miller” trousers. He has a little boy by the hand,—a little Beard no doubt. Then comes a figure resplendent in the latest sport clothes that were clearly meant to be “sported.” rather than sported in. It is Harriet Stuart. A little in the rear and following her is a meek looking individual with an apologetic air. probably her husband. Then, the wife of the famous I)r. Townes, a tallish. slender figure, Ethel Jones. A little farther on. the wife of Prof. King. Julia Hubbard. In the box near the President's, I see the new Dean of Howard, Geraldine Neale. also Gladys Tinsley and her husband Dr. Billy Green. ThentheGame. I hear an old familiar tune, as the eleven blue and white huskies trot out on the field. The coach stands on the side lines. Where have I seen that figure?—It's Joe “Bumsky,” rather Joseph Dodson. I hear the starting whistle, the pigskin spirals perfectly in a long—but another change.— A newspaper office. Hurry, hustle, scratching of pens, clicking of typewriters, smell of fresh ink. There are several desks at which figures are busily at work. 1 notice two female figures, and recognize them as Dorothy Gilliam, and Lydia Crawford. Just then the hustling efficiency of the office is disrupted by the entrance of a tall figure in motoring costume. She sweeps past the protesting office boy and goes straight to the city Editor’s desk. It is Evlvn Mance. “I have come here, she said, “in regard to the rumor in your paper concerning a contemplated divorce on my part. It is absolutely,”—but another scene.— A dentist’s office. A dentist in a white coat is intently regarding the inside of the mouth of a nervous looking patient. He inserts a pair of shining tong-like instruments in the mouth of the patient and engages in a fierce tug-o-war with an obstinate molar. My own teeth ache in sympathy and 1 glance aside at the signboard, which reads, “Dr. Melvin T. Greene. I turn and watch again the unequal struggle, either the tooth or the jaw must give. Then an usher touched me on the arm and whispered in my ear: Time for your act.” “My what?” said I. “Your act.—you see. he explained, “the audience are the actors, each one floes his little bit to make up the play. It is your turn now. I was dazed, completely. It so happened, that I chanced just then, to look at my own attire. I was dressed in overalls. “Look here,” I said. “1 can’t go out there in these things.” “Say will you get up. He caught hold of me and shook me violently, and.......1 awoke to find mv room-mate shaking me, and was informed that it was time to go to class. Such is the way of dreams.

We therefore devise and bequeath to the persons herein named the following articles to wit: To the Trustees and Administrative officers of the University, the remainder of their terms of office to build the biggest and greatest possible Howard. © To Proxy, a senior class that will give one hundred per cent chapel attendance. To the Preceptress of all the houses, wc give the summer vacation to recover from the various physical injuries resulting from the use of senior privileges on the campus. To the faculty the rest of their lives to get their Ph.D’s from the University of life from which no man ever graduates. To the class of ’25 we leave the nobility, dignity and scholarship and good achievements of the class of 24 and tin unrestricted rights of Seniority, with the permission to repeat their Freshman and Sophomore years in order to win the inter-class debates.

To the class of '26 we bequeath a continuation of the successes that have attended their efforts thus far. such as winning all of the debates in which they have taken part. To the class of ’27. we leave three years to prove that labor conquers all. We hope that they will pass successfully from the greenness of their paenie days to the sophistication of sophomoredom, from thence without disaster to the port of dignified juniors and make the most serious senior class that Howard has ever seen. The following individual gilts are devised: Ethel Jones to Eunice Brooks, her deep looking spectacles. Virginia Ruffin to Talma Brooks, her grace and neatness. Frederick II. Robb to the Business manager of the 1925 Year P ook. the art of successfully handling the job. Annie F.. Cottrell to Rosetta Nolan, her beautiful contralto voice. Evelyn Lewis to Doris Peterson, some of her avoirdupois. Theodore Spaulding, to the class of '25, one more year to learn that the Seniors’ good times on Frivolity day are not to be disturbed by juniors. The girls of the class leave all their red articles of dress, including beads, bracelets, earrings, etc., to Tressa Kinard. Thelma Duncan to the Dramatic Club, her ability at play writing. Thelma Hill to Man Wei ms. a foot of her height. 1924 BISON Stella Shipley to Susie Brown, her demure, baby-like ways. “Cliff” Nelson to Mr. Cameron, his gracefulness in dancing.

Krnest Downing to Joe Thomas, a book on “The Wav to Miss Hall's Heart.” Louis King to the debating teams, his forensic ability. Joanna Houston to some wide awake girl who shall live in Howard House next year, the chairmanship of the Sunday evening Round Table. Joseph Dodson leaves his athletic ability in the care of Coach Watson to be distributed as he sees lit among the various teams of next year. Howard Kennedy leaves in the care of the English Department his New England pronounciations to be distributed as the instructors see tit.

Four years have passed, we’ve labored, sighed and waited. And thought our time for leaving would not come; But Howard, through that time thou hast created A love for thee akin to love for home. Thy campus fair grows fairer as we leave thee; Our many memories dear would bid us stay; But duty bids us go, so to relieve thee, WVll take our sheepskin scrolls and wend our way. We pledge to thee—O what would we not pledge thee? Our zeal, our work, our time, our love, our all; We’ll strive throughout our lives to guard and hedge thee, Thy creed intrusted to us shall not fall. Our Freshman days were filled with many a venture; They gave us strength, alertness keen, and zest; Our Sophomore year brought us the well earned censure Of feeling that wc knew more than the rest. In many a contest we took part and triumphed, in fact we broke all records for the same; In contests where thy honor on us rested. We strove to bring all glory to thy name. Our Junior year brought dignity and thinking; Our work time come, we cast our play aside; Since then from thy full fountain we’ve been drinking, Results whereof we’ll let the world decide. Our Senior year—here we began to reckon And check up on what had been loft undone Fre graduation time, when life should beckon, And find some of our battles not yet won. The time has come when we from thee must sever; We pause in retrospect of happ'nings here. Thy name. Old Howard, must live on forever, As long as life endures we’ll hold it dear. The fight will be the easier now we’ve met thee; Equipment here received will serve us well; And so it does not mean that we’ll forget thee. Because today we’re forced to say farewell. •3 19 2-1 B I S O X W$0EB£ Senior College Class ong School days at Howard now come to a close For the Class of ’24; To make room for others we must move forward, Giving place to a few hundred more. Our play time is over and we must away, And so from each other we part today. Chorus: Class of ’24, we love you more and more; Our days spent together through storm and sunny weather Will live in our mem’ries for aye and aye. Dear Class of ’24 Dear Alma Mater, we bid you adieu. This old Class of ’24; With sad hearts we leave but we will pray for you We’ll think of you o’er and o’er. We are not afraid and the fight we will brave. And high above others thy banner we’ll wave. 1924 BISON f 0 S I a f- Z I 11 wwwwffWS ’TtSOJSJ HVUHS3UJ IVOHOHJOS voiunc Si i DQ TV -=3 [; j5Ti 3p- ‘SiyiElSS •' g opl)omorc College Class 5;istort 33 In the autumn of 1022, four hundred of us came to Howard University fully determined to bring honor to our Alma Mater and to ourselves. We started off with a ban.. The ( lass of 25 can tell you how we displayed our spirit and courage when we answered defiantly their yells in the Dining Hall; how we green “paenies” routed them on some occasions they did net soon lor; et; also how we took from them by a unanimous decision, the Freshman-Sophomore Debate. Our football team, characterized by the truly pure in heart and the spirit of 20 pure in heart because they struggled in muck and mire every morning at six until they became a team—although they never had the opportunity of licking the phonies, they proved their efficiency and ability to fight by defeating the Varsity team in practice. Our basketball team was gloriously victorious, defeating not only the sophs but all the other classes also, thus securing for themselves the championship. Our baseball team played valiantly, although they did not win from Dunbar and Armstrong. We were well represented on the Varsity track team. Our girls made us proud of them in the girls’ track meet and on the Varsity tennis team. Two delightful social events of our Freshman year must not be overlooked. Our girls gave in Miner Hall a lovely Valentine Party which added a social victory to our athletic victory. Then came our first annual prom in the springtime, assisting in the christening of the New Dining Hall. Its success was surpassed by no other function of the year. Thus ended our ever to be remembered first year at Howard. Again we came together in the autumn of ’23 full of spirit and determination. reach- to greet the “paenies.’’ Our plans along this line were nipped in I he bud early by an unfortunate circumstance, but we broke a precedent by winning again the Freshman-Sophomore debate. Our football men fought for Old Howard during our Sophomore year and won a few of the coveted “H’s.” Our Sophomore prom came during the winter quarter; the meml ers of the class will remember it through the years. Perhaps the collective history of our Sophomore year does not seem lengthy. One has but to list the brilliant careers of many of our number in the Student Council, on the athletic teams, with glee clubs, dramatic club, sororities and fraternities and in every field of activity which yields honor to Howard, to know that our history is rich with achievements. The members of ’26 are making history every day in their many pursuits—history of which they have a right to be proud. ■£ (Class Officers ItolrtTt Will •Mill |{o t'i|| l.itYl-11 Until Itllifnnl Mnry ------- T.

Easily and quickly these enthusiastic students adapted themselves to college life. Soon after their arrival the new students were given a reception by the faculty. This served to allow the students to become acquainted with the faculty and with each other. At first the rest of the school deemed the newcomers spiritless, but they soon experienced a rude awakening prior to and and during the week of the Freshman and Sophomore debate. It was impossible to check their Indomitable spirit. A reception was tendered the debaters and coaches at which the silver loving cup which was won by Mr. Percy Newbie, because of his exceptional abilities as a debater, was displayed. The officers who directed the class during its first quarter were: Frank Trigg, president; Ruth Trigg, secretary; Thelma Scott, assistant secretary; James Stripling, treasurer; V. Philander Tillar, sergeant-at-arms; Marion Thompson, parliamentarian; Charles Dawson, chaplain; Representatives to the Student Council, Raymond DeCosta and Carrie Shane. Under the leadership of Miss Bernice Harvey many interesting programs have been enjoyed by the class and visitors. They have helped to make the Monday evening meetings interesting and inviting. On Friday evening, February 15, the Freshman girls most creditably upheld the tradition of Miner Hall by acting as hostesses at a Valentine party. An invitation was extended to all and everyone agreed that the affair was a tremendous success and was sorry when the parting hours arrived. Everyone is now looking forward with eager anticipation to the Freshman dance to be given during the spring quarter.

It.‘Ill , -ji l S3SBfifi®eE2EBEfcSfSS2jaaES appa illu jponoiarp 5 ocictP Kappa Mu is an honorary society for university scholars and juniors and seniors of high scholarship. It was founded in Library Hall on the 31st day of October. 1028, bv the university scholars of ’24 at the proposal of Clifton F. Nelson, and was presented to the student-body on Howard's First Annual Honors Day. November 14. 1023. The society takes its name from the initial letters of the Greek words meaning A Circle of Scholars. Its primary object is to emphasize sound scholarship in the thought of college students, to hold fast to the original purpose for which institutions of learning were founded, and to stimulate mental achievement by the prize of membership. Its secondary object is to confer upon those students of the academic schools whose marked scholastic ability has shown them worthy of membership, a badge of distinction. proficiency, and honor, varied and graduated according to achievement. Ultimately, however, Kappa Mu aims, by merit, to become a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Flections to Kappa Mu are held in April and June. Seniors who have maintained an average of 85 per cent to the second quarter of their senior year and juniors who have maintained an average of 00 per cent up to the second quarter of their junior year are eligible fur membership in Kappa Mu. University scholars may also become members at the end of their junior year. The badge of Kappa Mu is a gold key engraved with the letters K M between two bars enclosed in a circle, which should have the same significance of scholarly merit as that of Phi Beta Kappa among the college students.

We entered with a spirit of joy and happiness, the spirit of a new day for the Law School; of reconstruction, re- 1 establishment, and enlarged scope and vision. We entered under conditions almost amounting to chaos, which has gradually returned to a cosmos. A chaos brought on by the war, a cosmos rebuilt by peace. The class has witnessed many changes in itself, and in the school. Starting as a class of forty-nine, we have gradually dwindled to a class ol thirty-six. Entering without an active Dean, and soon deprived of our eminent professor of criminal law, we have witnessed the inauguration ol our present Dean, Judge Booth, and the installation of Professor Schick in the chair of Criminal Law. The rickety, ramshackle, wheezy old school building has been turned into a substantial thing of beauty, to delight the eye and inspire the intellect. The curriculum has been arranged to suit the most exacting demands, and other changes in the faculty have raised it to that height where it can measure arms with any in the city. Keeping pace with this forward march of the school itself, the class of twenty-four has maintained its interest throughout; its vision has been enlarged, and the far-flung call for men of legal training is to be answered by this class, who have dedicated their lives to service, honor, justice, and humanity. Spirit and fight is the watchword of the class. The spirit had its genesis in pulling for the success of the football team, and in an enlarged interest in the affairs of the University itself. It was first Fight for Old Howard. and then light for ourselves. The spirit of lighting for ourselves was manifested in our middle year when members of the class were called on to cross swords with members of the senior, or 1923, class in the Moot Court. In these trial cases the class of 24 was universally successful, winning the high respect of the Judge and the class of ’23 alike. The spirit for Old Howard was manifested by the great interest the class developed in the success of the many plans of development for the University. and the success of its various teams. So strong has been this spirit, that we came to our senior year with a mingled feeling of joy and regret—joy that we were soon to start upon the full realization of our dreams, and regret that we were to tread the halls of the Law School no more as students, and that the many pleasant associations and friendships were soon to be torn asunder. As a class, there has been none too much harmony, or unanimity of purpose, but as individuals, there have been made many lasting friendships. and an exchange of much good cheer. The three years since 1921. have been productive of many pleasures and some sorrows. The class has given of its best to uphold Howard’s good name, and to promote her progress. As we go out into the larger world, we look back with a feeling that we have lived our three years “to their full.” From the school we have received far more than we have given, and we hope to never lose our loyalty and devotion to our Alma Mater. And tho in years to come we may be scattered over the wide world, ever will we fondly cherish I he memories of “her whom we all love so well. ‘ 1 9 2 4 BISON JBEBBBBBSfiH Senior Hato Class $iopl)ccp It was a few years after my arrival in India, before I became acquainted with Ali Singh. From our first conversation it was apparent that he was interested in America. On one occasion I volunteered to give the names of some of h� s countrymen, acquaintances of mine, who were at one time students in America. To my great surprise some of them were his near relatives. This fact made our friendship closer. Ali was fond of talking about America, this subject made me homesick. of course, but there was no way of avoiding it. On several occasions I had tried to shift the topic of conversation to his profession, crystal gazing—my efforts were futile. Even so. I did not abandon the idea of having him tell me of the secrets wrapped up in the future. When the next onportunitv presented itself I asked Ali to tell me of my classmates, the present and future things of interest about them. He consented forthwith and uncovering his crystal, seated himself before it. Ali soon began to talk, saying:— “The calendar in this office shows the year to be 192G. The long shelves of orderly arranged books and the massive mahogany furniture are indications of prosperity. On the window, in large gold letters, is written Azzie B. Roger, Attorney at Law. Another scene appears, (1928) in an upper room in the new office building of Scott Co., Chicago, III., some men are gathered around a table, four of them, Dick. Tally, Hill and Jimmy. They are in conference over business interests in South America. “The year changes—1930—Claude Carroll is Assistant District Attorney for the State of South Carolina. Charles Brooks, Attorney, has for a visitor Paul Murray, who is aspiring to become a member of the bar. Hen-rye Penn is married and has a family of four future lawyers. He is also the best known promoter of enterprises in the state of Connecticut (legitimate schemes of course). The law firm of Williams, Hall Co., has not yet been brought to the notice of the public. “The invitation extended to Prof. Cobb by Charles Washington, now Attorney Washington, to visit his state, has been accepted. Incidentally the professor will spend a few days ‘up north’ at the nome of L. C. Berry, Esq., corporation lawyer of North Carolina. This is an auspicious beginning for the year 1931. I see a young man with his family gathered about him. They seem to be waiting the report of some event. It must be of some great consequence, thev are quite serious. Ah! a servant enters with a telegram addressed to Senator Clifford of the Ohio State Legislature. The senator opens it—it reads; “You are elected governor.” Wcolsey Hall and Colden have become financiers, i.e, handlers of money. The former in Wall (arch) Street, the latter in the First (and only) Bank of Suffolk, Va. Ross and Hamilton are now limiting their practice strictly to patent law.

The ‘Chair is busy making up the list of entrants for October. 1035. He sticks a pin in the list long enough to read two letters. One a special delivery from E. C. Dickson, telling of the recovery of certain real estate (the same that he told of so often in the class of Domestic Relations) formerly owned by his grandfather. The other is from Delaware. stating that Mr. Holland has recently opened offices in Wilmington. The letter further states that Mr. Holland will have, for the next five years, hvo of his classmates in his office as apprentices, namely Mr. Omega J. C. Ware and Mr. Bill Circey. My attention is now drawn to a large building located at 4U and G streets southwest. The letters over the doorway are as follows: Robbanks Building.' The offices of the firm of Robinson and Banks are located in this building. Their offices are crowded with people who drive up at terrific speed in large high powered cars. They are clad in gay colored silk shirts with flashy sleeve bands. The firm's practice seems to be lucrative, however. His Majesty’s High Court of Chancery for British Guiana is presided over by the erudite Lord Chancellor Eastman. “After a cold winter in New Jersey.

Miss Jackson, the now Mrs. X is secretary and legal advisor of said Societe. “Daniel Ambrose, Justice, receives a letter from Roy Hunter dated April 10. 1045, wherein Attorney Hunter states that he has received a handsome fee along with the winning of his case. It was the case of Sun Cloud vs. Slo Speed, el « . He further states that the evidence was laid before the judges in the open at Bowie. Md. At this point I thanked Ali for his kindness telling him this completed the roll call. Ali commanded me to be seated again and to remain silent until he bid me to speak. He then went on, “I see a man white of hair and slightly bent, coming out of a church with a woman on his arm. They enter an automobile; as it starts on its way I see shoes and tin cans tied thereto. There is also a placard on which is written ‘Just Married.’ So endeth the day June 25 (Sunday) 1050. Turning to me Ali continued, I could not see the face of the woman, it was veiled; the man was you, my friend. Come again and I will tell you other things. I can see no more today, my crystal has become cloudy.” 102 4 B IS 0N (?- Mentor HaU) Class )ill In the name of Dean Booth, Begin: We the constituents of the aforementioned group, being at this time stricken with “lucid intervals, and having all the symptoms attendant to those mom compos wait is.” do declare this to be our last instrument of Testamentary Disposition, hereby revoking all former wills hereinafter made by us.

There will be hundreds travelling that same road and even there will he those who enter its shadowed coniines from the brilliant light of that stage of youth which knows no care and has made no sacrifice. In all this multitude, however, there will l no sign of distinction, no visible characteristic which may set one apart from the other. That mass of moving, seething humanity gives no special recognition to any person because of blood or birth. Within the breast of each there is a yearning, a desire for a speedy journey anti arrival at the goal of success. There are others though who have started upon and completed that journey with honor, with dignity, and with self-respect, few indeed however as compared to those who have either fallen by the wayside or approached the goal trampling upon the backs of others. By emulating the first group and by holding them as ideals we are bound to succeed. Let us for a moment reflect on our school life and analyse it to obtain these things which will be helpful on our journey. There are two causes to which I should attribute any measure of success which has been attained by us as students. First, the personal and individual interest manifested by our instructors. They have thought not of themselves but of others and have lavished their time upon us and accepted as a sufficient compensation our gratitude and affection. Second, the contact with each other which has tended to subjugate self in our appreciation of merit in others. We delighted in the society of our fellows. There are classmates who have made themselves felt among us. They realize that the object of study is the enlargement and improvement of the mind and not the mere acquisition of knowledge. Others rather exhausted than strengthened their minds by study, they were always poring over hooks but adding little to their stores. They did not consider whether thpy could think more clearly, write better or converse more agreeably. There were those who were retiring in their nature and made the mistake of withdrawing themselves from others, also those who were not students at all yet were great lovers of the university. They were a necessary part of its games and amusements, they sought to bind the men together in society and were liked for their friendly ways. If then we can truthfully analyse ourselves we might cure many faults and weaknesses which will gradually become a part of us and will retard our success as lawyers. There are defects such as want of tact, want of punctuality, want of habits of business which are as bad in their consequences as more serious moral faults. We want to strengthen the tetter elements in ourselves and starve and subdue the worse. Let us ask ourselves a few questions now that we are about to enter upon a new scene. A correction of our faults will make our path to success much easier. Are we too liable to take offense, too sensitive, too apt to think that we are slighted, too dependent on the approbation of others? Let us beware of such defects of character, for unless we do so they will accompany us through life. Are we incapable of fixing the attention. 19 2 4 BISON ®SE£2GJ NiBaBBaigfiaflaas liable to vagueness and inaccuracy, apt to forget what we have learned? Or if we be one to whom the silly, smiling, conceited imago of self is always recurring let us think how ridiculous this weakness makes us in the eyes of our fellow-men. Let us shake off vanity and resolve to be men. The keynote to leadership is the resolution just suggested and the future of our race is largely a problem of leadership. We need the Calebs and the Joshuas to conduct us safely into the Canaan of wisdom and wealth. If we would lead we must inculcate thoughts of the essences of life—high spiritual and moral ideals. The individuals and the race each is measured by the ideals it possesses and to which it strives to attain. V. If What greater ideal can one have than to lead a race of people out of the depths of ignoranec, of prejudice, of skepticism, of envy, and of doubt? A knowledge of the laws by which the? conduct of man has been guided since the tribal age is a necessary qualification for such a stupendous task. Hut if we are to be great lawyers and leaders we must be students of the law. There is nothing like constant reading to give vigor, health, and strength to the mind. Thousands of men annually make the mistake of confounding the beginning of preparation for its completion. Be not of the kind that thinks a knowledge of the rudiments of an education is sufficient but enrich your minds with as much treasure from the mines of history, literature and law as you can gather. Now with a thorough understanding of ourselves, a definite object in view and an ideal, let us. the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-four, attack our enemies with manhood and force, and relying upon a thorough preparation meet every requirement that will establish us before man anti God as true leaders of our people.

The white press gave honorable mention to his handling of the case of the United States vs. Clarence Lee, charged with housebreaking and larceny. Lee was convicted by two juries; and on two separate occasions, Attorney Wilson convinced Justice Stafford, presiding, that both convictions were erroneous in law; the case was called to the bar for a third trial and finally dismissed. Within the past two years. Attorney Wilson has obtained acquittals in the following homicide cases: United States vs. Bruce Underdue, second degree murder, verdict, not guilty; United States vs. Murray Bias, manslaughter, verdict, not guilty ; United States vs. Frank Newton, first degree murder, verdict, not guilty.

It is not calculated that this procedure on the part of this class will enhance amity and good-will between the department of Law and the Academic department, for indeed it is indisputable that what is already perfect cannot he more perfect. Notwithstanding, we have not the slightest hesitancy in taking upon ourselves the role of precursors and venturing to prophesy, that the stand and interest manifested by our present action will at least, if followed by our successors, keep alive so long as reason reigns that respect and esteem which is held by intelligent men with reference to the light and standard bearers of Law and Justice. In this regard we do ardently trust that those who are so fortunate and sensible as to read this Year-Book will continue in that spirit of good citizenship which is in conformity to those moral standards of our social order, not because of fear of the law, but rather because of their sense of right.

Vici.” FTER CAESAR HAD RETURNED VICTORIOUS from Gaul he described the campaign with these three little words, so we, the Senior Medical ('lass, have battled courageously, midst love and hate, work and play, success and failure, until now, 1924. we are in the midst of our last campaign. We stand fearless, always determined to win in spite of obstacles. Four years ago in October, 1920. forty ambitious, courageous men and three women of similar caliber enrolled in the Freshman Class of Medicine at Howard University. Twenty-seven of these students held college degrees. This represented the largest number of degreed students in any class up to that date. Before many days had passed the class divided itself into various quiz groups, the beneficial results of which were evidenced by the high grade of scholarship. So desirous of obtaining knowledge were these men and women that when dissection had to be postponed, because of lack of material, they made formal request to the faculty for some subject farther advanced in the course to be substituted. Believing in the adage that, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, the class gave two dances at which all present enjoyed themselves immensely. Into the life of every class some sorrow comes, and so into the Class of ’2-1 came regrets over the loss of J. S. Abram by death ami the retirement of Miss Myra L. Smith because of ill health. 14} Early in June, owing to financial embarrassment and mental fatigue, the class adjourned to meet again in the fall. When the school term opened in October, 1921, four members of the original group did not return. but six new members were added. Nothing of special importance happened during this year except the interest manifested in physical diagnosis, because the instructor. Dr. Terry, constantly reminded the class of his prize to be given to the students making the highest average in this course. In the following fall, four members of the class dropped out; but five were added. From the very start of this year, when those instructors whose subjects blended the theoretical and practical sides of medicine met the class the cry was: What can be done with such a large class?” “There is not enough room for all of you. “How can there possibly be forty-six men and women prepared to he so near graduation? Under this handicap the class refused to retreat but continued the campaign. When the drive for the medical endowment fund was launched the “Meds of ‘24 exceeded all other classes in subscribing to this fund. fci2Ie$2I3©EE2aeSJ 19 2 1 BISON Even in the face of a very difficult year, the class in its Junior year fell in with the general spirit of the University to unite its various groups, and invited the other Junior classes of the medical school to entertain the Seniors in Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy. When the judgment day came, ability and consciousness counted very little in the individual's favor. However, so good were the past records of the members of this class that the process of elimination was indeed difficult for the examiners. They voted and revoted, examined anti reexamined. before the promotion committee decided that only thirty-seven were deemed qualified for the Senior year. One new member entered our ranks so that thirty-eight warriors are now battling in this, their last attempt to conquer the degree M.D. The dauntless spirit of these men is evidenced by their successful plans toward making the Class of ’21 rank high in establishing a ‘'Greater Howard. Through their efforts a Medics banner 5 by 9 feet was purchased to be handed down I the various classes year after year. No previous class has shown such a grand spirit of cooperation with the other departments of the University as has the Meds” of 24. Throughout the football and basketball seasons they were numbered among the most cheery cheeriers.” At the end of the Varsity football season, a game played between the surgical and medical groups drew a large and enthusiastic crowd. Extra-curricula activities have not been by themselves in stamping the elasss as exceptional, for on several occasions we have heard the good Dr. Parker remark: This is the first time in fifteen years a class has answered that question correctly. Again, for the first time in the history of the course, members of the (’lass of ’24 have passed in neurology, 100 per cent. These are only a few incidents of the excellence of the men and women. Within a short time the final reckoning day will conic. Even at this time we plan to complete our battle without the loss of a single man.

Canaday President at the Realm”—Mr. J. A. KEENE EDITORIAL HISTORY OF THE PAPER In the year 1021 while wrestling with nerves, pathology, bacteriology and the many other exhausting things, there came a demand for something to prevent and to eliminate the accumulated mental toxins and to act as a healthy stimulant to further activities. In this time of need, fortune looked upon us and came to our relief by sending one Philip T. Johnson, a scholar and organizer, who began the organ of the class “T.P.” In the meantime, Mr. Bruyning was organizing the “Dominion of South America,” of which he assumed the presidency. Mr. Bruyning made the following appointments: J. Francis Andrews, Chief of State; G. C. Best. Chief of “Corn ; D. W. Anthony, Treasurer; J. A. Keene, “Court Jester”; Albert Hughes, “Sockseye.” On account of the excellent work of Mr. Johnson, the president of “S. A.” adopted the “T. P. as the organ of the realm. During the year 1022 the “Dominion of S. A.” was reorganized and made the “Republic of Ponjola” with Mr. J. A. Keene of Woolaba-kiu, President. The “T. P.” with Mr. W. C. Baucum as editor functioned as the organ of this great republic. Mr. Keene is a responsible man and he has worked faithfully and honestly in behalf of his wonderful people. An extract from his inaugural address will be quoted in his own language: Feelo wiza:—Tel u n aretas no pelo ca nun o kel wela ba, si y mida den sunse par Jo. ana freen a caste ken dun for insoliy.” Being interpreted: “Fellow citizens: It is our purpose to serve you well and with your most faithful co-operation I assure you that this will be the greatest republic of all times.” This has grown all the while and now it embraces nearly every activity. Something has been carried for the neurotic, pathetic, optimistic and pessimistic. SEARCHES and RESEARCHES Several articles recently have carried summaries of the reports of the committee on scientific research, composed of Joseph Trigg, George Allen, William Goodloe and O. N. Simmons. Dr. Trigg discovered the method of determining a patient’s age by hearing him speak. Mr. George Allen has discovered a method of diagosing and treating thyroid disturbances by extracting thyroid secretion from the patient. O. N. Simmons has adopted 19 2 4 BISON BBffJgggggggBeiaBffi r. c rtk sV the method ol auscultating, with the ear-pieces of his “scope” in his pocket. Dr. Goodloe has made a thorough examination of “Onie Hughes and has reported that : “If brains were a lumber yard, Hughes wouldn't have a toothpick.” Hughes in reply says: “It brains were ink, Goodloe couldn’t dot an eye. Dr. Gladden, class tailor, has led in many styles for which the class is very grateful. Among his foremost introductions is a collar described as Thomas collar, which tits so snugly that the head cannot be moved in any direction; and a style of coat called the “papilloma.” which cannot he further described by words. l)r. W. H. Greene is the hair specialist. He worked out a preparation that will grow hair on a rock. It is a puzzle tho’ why it will not fill out that vacant space on his head. Dr. “Gay” Howell, the former class haberdasher, was promoted to mental expert, on account of his excellent and enthusiastic work at the insane asylum. Dr. Howell is quite alert and shows great aptitude when dealing with feeble minds. Dr. Keith Madison has won for himself the title of “Senior Class Sheik.” He has shown his classmates in a clever and quiet way that medicine alone is not all; and that a man is best prepared when he is fortified by the support of a “Sheikess.” The class appreciates the work of Dr. Rudolph Fisher, who has distinguished himself as student embryologist and roentgenologist. Dr. Fisher holds an M.A. degree After receiving this degree the following conversation was heard between his father and an admiring friend: Friend: “I heard that your son received his M.A. Good; I suppose he will get his Ph.D. next.” Father.: “No, I think he will be looking for a J-O-B.” The married members of the Class: Dra. Joseph Trigg. Wm. Wethers, Seth Stewart, D. W. Anthony and Ora Mabel Lomax-Fishcr have been quite an asset. Their seasoned minds, broad experiences and wise counsel have helped to steer us past dangers unseen. Class Boxers: Drs. Q. A. Gladden and Leo Robinson. Just a short while ago these heavy weights clashed for three rounds. The first round drew even, and it was clearly evident that men of rare ability had met. The second round was harder fought but also drew even. The roaring spectators were in the height of their enthusiasm when the third round began. Both combatants resorted to new tactics. In the last second of the third round both boxers made a desperate attack, each landing a blow. Gladden landed a blow on Robinson's temnoro-sphenoidal region and Robinson landed a blow on Gadden’s naso labial fold. These blows shocked the mighty giants as they staggered back from each other with their eyes winking at the rate of 200 per minute, their balls quivering in their sockets, their teeth rapidly grating against each other, their countenances Hushing; and permeating the surrounding air were thoughts peculiar in content and manner of expression. This circumstance ended the bout: a decisive bout being arranged for on a later date, June G, 1024. WORDS OF THE WISE It is better to be and not be seen, than to be seen and not be. Look wise, even though you are otherwise. Service is the stepping stone to greatness. Hold your mouth when you have nothing to say. CiiSf Jfjistorp, Dumber 0.000,000 0. B. City Hospital.

Resume of Case Patient was admitted to ward 13 complaining of throbbing pains everywhere, at all times, radiating in every direction and most intense at at all points south of the Scalp. Patient was examined by students “John Dece,” “Kid Knee' and “Karl Potomy ; and the case was referred for further study to all doctors connected with the Medical School. Doctors Parker and Burbank being the first available men were called in. The former, after having the patient open his mouth and say “Ah-Ah- All-,” was heard to diagnose the case as that of “General Carcinosis.” Then Dr. Burbank, after inspecting and palpating the patient, said the patient was “as blue as your hat in the face, and “as dull as a hoc in the back. but was not prepared to commit himself as to a diagnosis. In walked Doctors Terry and Ecker, who, after “calling the ward to order, made a diagnosis of “Aneurism of the Transverse Arch ; Doctor Ecker however being convinced that it was a case of “Grave Angina and ordered an x-ray picture which was taken by Doctors Hurst and Scurlock of the Roentgenological Department. Their report was that, “a mass was seen either extra- or intra-cardial.” With this valuable information, treatment at this stage seemed purely medical, so Doctor Mitchell ordered a carthatic of “Oloi Tiglii,” and Doctor Copeland, thinking the case that of “Senile Marasmus,” prepared a formula built around “Mellins Food. Doctors Collins, Marshall and Lennox decided after viewing the case that it was only “a simple inflammatory process” and they “wanted to make that point clear.” Doctor Paul Bartsch then reviewed the case and decided it was a “Parathitic infection” due to the “Entamoeda Hithtolitica.” As the patient did not improve as rapidly as expected under the above treatment, specialists were called in. Doctor Hazen, being first to report, said the case was a “Dermatitis Sine Manifestations” and ordered an ointment of “Salicylic Acid and Mercury.” Doctor Martin then came in. He believed the patient to be suffering from a “Hyper-secretion and Hvper-elaboration of Mucous” and advised “Liquid Albolene. Mis. Sig. Use as a gargle as directed.” Doctor Dowling, after a careful examination, declared that the condition was that of “referred pains” from an “Ocular Disturbance” due to the fact that the “Parallel rays of light did not come to a focus on the retina.” Neurologist Doctor Whitbv then responded to his call, and his report was that the condition simulated that of a “Unilateral Incomplete Trans- B 10 2 4 BISON y. B fz3 fl (S in- verse Compression -Myelitis of the Cord,” as patient did not react to “pain, touch, and tempotuo.” Drs. Fowler and Francis, the (i. U. specialists of international fame, next came; and after a “most careful and gentle” cystoscopic examination, decided the case was that of “Adenomatous Prostate,” the pains being due to pressure on the filament of the Ilio-hypogastric nerve. Dr. Talbot came next, who, after viewing the case said: “This Bird lias Antero-polio and should wear a Thomas Collar. Dr. Beil Karpman, the psychiatrist from St. Elizabeth Hospital, when called in to see the case, had the patient to repeat the “Cowboy Story.” and asked: “Did your Muddcr habe comvulsions?” Then he diagnosed the case as “Delusional Pains.” The patient grew progressively worse under the care of the above doctors and his many pains assumed greater and more indefinite radiation. The Surgical aspect of the case was then considered and at this time our corps of wonderfully skilled surgeons was called in who reported as follows:— Drs. Balloch and Lane being first, held counsel and examination. Dr. Balloch reporting their diagnosis to be only “Multiple Sarcomata of all internal viscera,' and what was necessary was to make a “V-shaped incision” involving all points below the clavicle, and that they would “go in and get out.” Drs. Jack. McKinney and Baumgardner, who were next called in, found an old bullet wound on the anterior surface of the thorax in the fourth interspace in the middle clavicular line on the left side. They suggested an operation in which they would go in and get the bullet.” Next appeared Drs. A. M. and Arthur Curtis who interviewed the patient, the former reporting as follows: “Er- this case. cr-. is one of a Blood Dyscrazia; er — er — er — what is needed here is. is. er- Free incision and adequate Drainage.” Then came Drs. Jones, McNeil and Rector who found “a palpable mass in both Cul De Sacs.” signifying a “retro-displacement” and advised a Celiotomy be done. Drs. Carson and Young came next, the former, after cracking one of his favorite jokes, smilingly reported: “The patient has an internal in-volvment.” and advised a Laparotomy be done under “Spinal Anesthesia.” Acting upon the advice of such eminent surgeons, Madame Irwin’s daughters proceeded to prepare the patient pre-operatively, T. P. R. graphic chart showing. Temperature—boiling; Pulse— running wild, and Respirations—involuntary. On the following morning at 13 A. M. P., patient was given the usual hypo and sent to M. O. R. under care of an orderly. The famous Anesthetists. Drs. “Lou Brown and Jackson, after much discussion of the various anesthetics decided upon and used the recent product of the “M. M. Martin Company” (known as “Martin’s Anesthesia”) which is guaranteed to produce “permanent anesthesia.” While Surgeons were selecting their various instruments of tissue destruction. the anesthetists reported: Pulse—absent; Respiration -ceased; Reflexes—gone; Temperature—freezing; Sphincters—widely dilated. Patient was pronounced as being in the stage of “Permanent Anesthesia” and was transferred “across the way” to Ward 11. where Drs. Lamb and Adams performed a “post-viable operation” and proceeded to collect specimens for the Museum and Pathological Laboratories. Their incision, being directed South from the upper border of the Sternum, extended many feet; and their report was as follows: Heart- -missing; Lungs—not 10 2 1 BISON wMWBaMBwwQMMaaiaaMMaHiBaHBBMiHireasj asp « found; Intestines—absent; Kidneys—none, Liver—no; Spleen—bound down to intestine by adhesions; Pancreas—destroyed by a cyst which was not found ; Stomach—being loaded with gas is thought to have ascended, as it was not found in abdominal cavity; Bladder—washed away; General Musculature—atrophied; Soul—normal. As these Surgeons were suturing up the cavities, Dr. Woodward appeared on the scene and inquired under whose permission this operation was performed. There being no one present who could answer this question, he declared that Due Diligence, Ordinary Knowledge and Skill, and Best Judgment had not been exercised and the confidence of the patient had not been respected and that he would have to look into the Medico-Legal Aspects of the Case. Patient was then transferred under Dr. (Pa) Warfield’s orders to the Potter’s Field for post operative treatment; the Sanitary conditions of the grounds having been looked into by Dr. Algernon Jackson, the Public Health Specialist from Philadelphia. While patient was resting peacefully in Potter’s Field, he was visited by Dr. Williston who was heard to remark; “This patient has lived a wonderful life sickle, onlv surpassed by that of Dr. Purvis, and was a splendid character.” Patient at this writing is peacefully resting under the surveillance of Mother Nature in Potter’s Field.

I?.- Metrical Stfjlctics Out Door Sports Soon after the class of 24 launched on the Sea of Medicine, they found that in the midst of them was a superfluous amount of athletic material, composed of ex-stars and letter men from various schools of the land. This being the fall of the year, they bound themselves together, formed an invincible football team, and sent challenges to various classes. The Sophomore Dental class, having the only qualified team accepted the challenge and signed the contract to meet us on November 12, 1920. All tickets that were printed had been sold two weeks prior to the day of the game, so that we were assured a large attendance. The day of the game came, and the two undefeated teams stood facing each other waiting for the referee's whistle and “raring to go. At three o’clock sharp the whistle blew and the teams were off, each determined to carry home the bacon. At the end of the first half, both teams stood breathless in the middle of the field, and the score. 0-0. evidenced the fact that the teams were well matched. During the second half business picked up for the “Medics and a twenty yard end-run by “Herb” Marshall and a thirty-five yard pass, Green to Robinson netted the “Medics” six points. The teams now tightened up again so that throughout the remainder of the third quarter and the greater part of the last quarter, the ball remained in the center of the field. With two minutes to play and the ball on the fifty yard line “Lords Chesterfield and Piedmont,” grasped the entire Medical backtield ami forced them to retire and a “brand new” baekfield was substituted. Being fresh men they started rushing the ball, and a twenty-two yard end run by Carter Marshall, a twelve yard line plunge by Phil” Johnson, and a twenty yard pass Keene to Garnette scored a second 6 points for the “Medics.” With the score 12-0 against them the “Dents” tried to stage a comeback but were halted on the thirty-six yard line by the referee’s whistle which closed the game and sent the Medics” back down from The Hill with I he bacon. Early in the fall of 1922. the class divided itself into two clubs, viz. “Angora” and “Alopecia” which led to an.argument as to which was to take the athletic trophies and cups which had been won up to this time and which had been held as class property. So between them, they voted to settle the question on the gridiron. On the afternoon of Octol er 27, 1922, the two teams met to engage in the “pig-skin duel. With Carter Marshall, “Bon Bon” Simmons. “Bud” Fisher, “Dave” Anthony and “Ike” Oanaday starring for the Angoras, they were able to make one touchdown but were not successful in booting the pig-skin over the goal for th� extra point. With five minutes to play and the score 6-0 against them, the Alopecias held the ball on the twenty-five yard line. Here “Mel” Davis dropped back ten yards from the line, received the ball and with a mighty swing of his left foot, drop-kicked the pig-skin over the horizontal bar giving the Alopecias three scores. The two teams then lined up rapidly, the Alopecias received the ball and chased it to the fifty-five yard line. A series of line plunges by Good-loo. Wethers, and Green netted the Alopecias twenty-six yards. With the ball on the twenty-nine yard line, the time keeper announced that there was only twenty-two seconds to play. “Dan Davis now dropped back rFBSWBEWa 1924 BISON St from the end into the back-field, signaled for the ball and with his silver toe sent the ball between the bars for Alopecias' second drop-kick. Time was now called and the referee announced a tie score, l� -6 and both teams descended from The Mill, without having settled the question of inheritance of the trophies. The autumn of 1923 saw a united class return, but in a few clays Drs. Parker and Halioch separated the class into “Medical” and “Surgical sections, thus reviving the question of the ownership of our valuable trophies. So in ancient form the decided to settle their dispute by a ‘‘gridiron duel.” The teams met on December S, with determination written on their faces. The whistle blew and they were off. In the first five minutes of play, a series of end runs by “Mel Davis, Fisher and Dan” Davis and a twenty-five yard pass, Greene to Garnette, netted the Medical Section six points, but served to cause the Surgeons to tighten up so that the ball remained in the center of the field until late in the second quarter when the Medics again opened fire. A fake punt, a cris-cross and a lateral pass brought the Medics to the ten yard line. “Dan Davis hit off tackle for six yards and Greene broke through center for a touch down. This ended the scoring in the first half, the result being 12-0 in favor of the Medical section. In the second half the Surgeons came back with blood in their eyes. Surgeon Carter Marshall received the ball on the twenty-yard line and chased it back twenty-eight yards. A pass, “Herb Marshall to ( M. Harris, counted them twenty-two yards. Johnson broke off tackle for fifteen yards and Robinson ran around end for a touch down, making the score 12-6 in favor of the Medics. Fighting was hard throughout the remainder of the third quarter. The surgeons tried to advance in the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the defensive playing of Canadav, Ward, Keene, Baucum and Andrews, checked their march. With two minutes to play and the ball on the Surgeons thirty-yard line and iu their possession, “Herb Marshall grabbed the pig-skin and went through guard like a “cannon ball. broke through the crowd and could not be stopped until he had run sixty-two yards, being stopped by a “living tackle” made by Green on the eight-yard line. Simmons hit tackle foi four yards. A iinc plunge was then called and Thompson, Jefferson and Goodloe opened a hole big enough for a coal truck to drive through and Robinson walked through for the Surgeon’s second touchdown. Neither team was able to score the extra point after touchdown and thus the game ended 12-12 and again the class traveled from The Mill with the quesiton still undecided as to the ownership of the valuable athletic trophies.

We’ve seen the seasons come and go, Heard the Commencement bell And wondered if’t would ere be so That we should say farewell. We’ve witnessed many an hour of gloom When things would not go right, When studies horrible would loom And days seemed dark as night. We’d think of home and feel so bad And long our folks to tell, Twas then we thought that we’d be glad When we would say farewell. But again we'd feel no cares And everything was pleasure, Games, we’d attend and such affairs And enjoy ourselves beyond measure. Twas fun to meet an old classmate And join a hearty yell, And at this time we thought we’d hate To say our last farewell. But now we’ve passed these long days by And reached the end of the trail. We’ve met your qualifications high, Pleased you in each detail. We feel prepared to face life’s dust. How well, we cannot tell, We only know that now we must Bid you our last farewell. Although we’re leaving you behind In parting we can say, We leave in body, not in mind— We’ll think of you each day. What e’er you may ask us to do Till the sound of our death knell, We’ll keep the promise made to you When we said our last farewell. m Bj — ■ W. Henry Greene, President of the Medical Class of ’24 Sophomore Medics—«'la ss 20 2;istorp opl)onioif iflcbicnl (Class The Sophomore Medical Class is the first class to enter the Medical School under the present system of limiting the Freshman Medical class to fifty members. The members of the class of ’26 were selected from a roster of two hundred and sixty-one applicants. Their high collegiate records was made the basis of selection. That this group of men and women has justified its being chosen, is exemplified by the fact that its members passed from the Freshman class to the Sophomore class with a high scholarship record such as has been made by no other class in the Medical school. As a result of its scholastic record, the Sophomore class was honorably mentioned in the May, 1923, number of the Medical Association .Journal by Dean Balloch of the Medical School. This class, manifesting its love for the Medical School, pledged one hundred per cent in the recent drive for the Endowment Fund for the Medical School. The Class Officers: E. H. Ballard, President II. Furlonge, Vice-President Sybil Brown, Secretary A. B. Thompson. Treasurer Clarence B.

Treasurer Ames I. Foster, Chaplain This year’s Freshman Medical Class possesses a wealth of superior material to say the least. It is composed of forty-eight individuals who were selected from a list of one hundred and eighty-five applicants. The thoroughness of this selection will be readily seen when cognizance is taken of the fact that the class contains a higher percentage of degree students than any previous class. There arc thirty-two members of the class who have college degrees, and the rest of the class will receive their degrees at the completion of the Freshman year, being combination students. This class has also the distinction of counting among its members two Doctors of Pharmacy, George M. Herriot and Richard E. Banks; one Master of Arts, Kelly Miller. Jr., also “Little Bull Terry,” a former instructor in physics and zoology at Howard. In the field of athletics, this class believes itself second to none. On the gridiron the mere mention of such names as “Bulldog” Williams. “Sad Sam Peyton, Bagiev and Cornish send cold chills down the backs of those so unfortunate as to be pitted against them. On the tennis court the class is well represented in Marcellus Goff who. in recognition of his superior skill and ability has been elected manager and captain of Howard’s 1024 tennis team. Then there is Rol ert Craft of the Howard track team for 1923, also a member of Howard’s relay team. The Romeo division of the class is well represented in the person of A. F. (Mush) Jackson of Morehouse football and basketball fame. The class boasts of one young lady, Miss Sarah E. Lewis who is conspicuous by her superior scholarship as well as by her sex. Another example of superior scholarship is had in the person of Amos Foster who is otherwise known as “Beri Deri,” “Sleep,” and “Ether.” Also in this same category is Bedford Kiddle better known as “Turtle” on account of his speed. “Pluck” Green is still plucking, and “Burtus” still tries to “Caesar.” The class is a cosmopolitan one: all the fraternities and sororities are represented. Believing in the superiority of knowledge, this class is striving by conscientious and diligent effort to preserve its integrity and make a name for itself in the School of Medicine at Howard.

MAN AND DISEASE Man has risen out of the depths of ignorance to the bountiful heights of knowledge. He has conquered the air. the earth, the sea, and delved into the unknown. He is engaged in constant combat with disease. Man’s dreaded enemy is disease. Necessity has forced man to discover weapons of defense and offense. The Pharmaceutical Chemist is to the physician as the gunsmith is to the infantryman. Soldiers of science are enlisting every day in the warfare against the enemy. Disease is repugnantly bending to the command of man. THE EIGHT WONDERS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL CLASS 1. Wilson’s fog horn voice. 2. Rarnum's monkey-back suits Cole’s panicky-ness 4.

S It laitraetor nt rheiitixlrn i 9 2.} i . i s o N Pharmaceutical Class 2?istorp JJ NT 1021 I DECIDED to come to Howard University College of Phar-niacy so 1 got mv belongings together and came here. When I arrived at school 1 met a neatly-attired, sleeply-looking young lady, who had just arrived in the heavy downpour of rain and gfrfr was drying as best she could in the barely warmed halls. She sEfjgbJ ami I were the only two of our sex in the school at that time and both being strangers and feeling quite inquisitive, we acquainted ourselves. She was Miss Martin. Just then a tall young man wearing a freshly pressed soldier suit came in. He seemed fairly well acquainted with the building but did not tarry very long. This sedate chap was “Major” Bowers. We did not do very much the first week because registration was progressing very slowly. 1 will not bore you with registration and all that but let it suffice to say we managed to get straight. Everyone in the class acted strangely at first; then we gradually warmed up to each other. Ilirch was elected president of the class and he was a “bear cat.” Things did not seem so hard at first, consequently we were quite playful with Calvin, known as “Squirm, our leading comedian. At first we did not study very much, but grasped our subjects by absorption. but Doctors Mitchell, Keemer and Adams, Smith and Miss Scott with other members of the faculty changed our minds and habits. Then came Dr. Purdy with laboratory work. That was the beginning of our professional pride. I shall never forget the first week of real work and cur class turned out in rubber aprons and sleevelets and Dr. Purdy had us to clean scale pans and balances for the upper classmen. Well, we wore a sheepish grin for many days afterwards because these dignitaries inspected our work and reported it very good for “peenies. There are other moments never to be forgotten such as explosions Ruth and Tish would have and the quizzes as to what was formed to cause the same, with writing of equations to show what took place and how. At no time in our lives did chemistry seem to have so many compounds and symbols. We had a dance that year which caused “Dr. Squirm” much discomfort. Many of us wished to have a masked Hallowe’en party, but the timely suggestion offered by Squirm that most of us would need no masks caused much indignation. However, things soon blew over when we considered that it was a pretty poor joke that would not work both ways. Our dance though not a Hallowe’en or mask, turned out all right with plenty of good music and fun. It was at this dance that Barnum and Rollins made their impressions as being “sheiks. Well that year rolled by with every one worried about the future, but we all had scuffled hard so we went away to scratch enough change together to come back. The next year sneaked in on us. We looked the class over—Wiseman and Guy had dropped out; Wiseman having gone abroad for his health. Miss Mallory and Alma tilled the the vacancies. We were sent to work immediately. Bacteriology seemed to be our pain, as Dr. Jackson would always try to make things plain by putting it in another way; and after all they proved to be about as clear as mud. Dr. Green, who was also intruding in bacteriology, told us so much about “cocoi that we expected to 1m? made to examine the brain of one and report our findings. Birch seemed to he one of our chosen tribe to always be in the limelight in this class. Everyone worked hard and we cleaned up in germs, ('ole was interested in radio, and I sometimes wonder if he gets as panicky with that as he does in exams. Israel is the only other panic-stricken 12 V soul that ran equal him at such times; and unfortunately for them, they usually sit on the front seats side by side. About midyear the great election of officers took place. Acree was elected president and Robinson was elected sergeant-at-arms; and his chief duty was to keep Washburn awake and stop the usual argument between Ferguson and Wilson. We had our class dance which proved very successful. Taper and Chapman were seen for the first time all dressed and shoes shined in company of two neatly attired young ladies. We felt almost like giving another dance to see if another such wonder would happen. This year ended with Hogan as quiet as ever and Miss Coby as pleased as ever with life in Miner Hall. We were all getting shining coats and thin soled shoes toward the end but we were wiser than when we started, so everything was all set. Well. tlie last year breezed in after about four months of freedom. The faculty had prepared numerous things for our amusement and edification. Gibbs and Black blew in this year. Black chummed up with the rest and after Gibbs had taught us to answer by the name of Joe or Mosc, he decided to become one of us. Class election was much earlier this year. Bruen was a peaceful sort of fellow with an extensive vocabulary, consequently was elected president of the class. I shall never forget his inauguration s])cech, for there are but few as distinguished among our bunch. If things would not go right he would confer with all of the big moguls and present our case to them so they could sec it our way. In Dr. Furhman’s reading class Vanhook sat wistfully on the first row and wished the day to come when “Barney” would call upon him to read. The second semester rushed in upon us with our schedule looking like an encyclopedia. Mr. Cooper, known as Pa Cooper, still gives oils and Christy had croton oil to begin with; and David, visioned a bright prospect of the same oil next. At any rate, this class was still encouraged, as Pa told Corlotta: “Well, miss lady, do the best you can.” We were so used to the unexpected that we took our oils without complaining. Dr. Purdy passed away during our last year, much to our regret. David. Acree and Israel had appendicitis, and having recently recovered, are considered as authorities on the subject of its treatment and the effect of the drugs used. Marguerite thinks Dr. Brady’s class is an endurance test, and she has plenty of company in her thoughts, for we would sit spell hound listening to the manoeuvering of the carbon atoms as he poured the “apostulates” upon the heads of what he hoped was a brainy bunch. Dr. Mitchell gave us many happy quizzes in practical dispensing; and his crisp “yes” and no will never bo forgotten by the class. Dr. Greene kept the whole class puzzled all the previous year as well as last year; and I guess that we will remain so the rest of our existence. The whole class hung together like one big family, and we all did good work. In the last few days loads of sleep and pounds of flesh were lost, hv the class collectively, caused by the worries about whether we would get the right to put the title Phar.C” after our names. As this goes to press we are still awake and growing thinner and thinner, hut as Shakespeare has said: “All’s well that ends well.” 1921 BISON •aBiaaa jgsa jigja-as MFKK K.KS OK C LASS OF 24 riilTonl IirtH'ii.

A portion of this powder was assigned to me. as the last experiment of my research work. I took a retort bulb containing a known solution, into which 1 introduced the powder. There was a sudden violent reaction, so great that the retort was shattered and I was engulfed in a smoky mass of vapor. As this mist ascended, it formed into a sentence—“The Future of the Class of 24.” On its upward course the sentence became a revolving sphere; each turn revealing startling information. There was Dr. 0. S. Acree, calling to order the members of the United Pharmacopeia Convention in 1040. There was Dr. C. W. Barnum of the Associated Chemists, Incorporated, in Toronto, Canada. There was Dr. M. Birch, the first and only Pharmacist with permanent aerial delivery. I could hardly believe my eyes when I beheld a banquet given by the Chicago druggists, doctors, and dentists in honor of Dr. William H. Bowers, Jr., chairman of the American Pharmaceutical Association. Dr. C. C. Bruen was there and was introduced as the former instructor of Dispensing, blit then the dean of the College of Pharmacy at Howard University. I was pleased to see Dr. K. Y. Chapman, president of the American Drug Manufacturers Association at their Annual meeting in New York City. Cousins for sure! Dr. C. C. Christy, and Dr. I.. G. Israel, proprietor of the Israel Christy Biological Laboratories, Baton Rouge, I.a. The mist grew thin and I could not distinctly recognize what the celebration was. but Dr. A. F. Coles, well known pharmacist of Washington and president of the National Association of Retail Druggists, introduced an old classmate of mine as the speaker of the evening. Dr. W. C. David, of the David Laboratories, located in Texas, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle. I was sure I had made a mistake when I read —Furguson and Squibb, instead of Squibb and Sons. Responsibility and time were mere trifles to Dr. G. A. Galvin, president of the American Therapeutic Association and sole manufacturer of Opev Hicks cough syrup. U.S.P. XIV. 1 was anxious to shake Dr. L. H. Gillam’s hand, who was celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Gillam and Co., their laboratories supplying the entire Atlantic coast trade. There was a large and constant demand for Gibbs Hair Tablets, manufactured by the Gibbs Cosmetic Company. i V ! 92 I B ISON The following items were noted in the Druggists Circular and Pharmaceutical Bin, edited by Dr. T. A. Taper: Every one in Akron is discussing the grand opening of Dr. K. A. Hogan’s chain stores, noted for being strictly Pharmaceutical. Dr. L. M. Jeter is a delegate to the International Conference for the Unification of Formulas for Potent Remedies. Dr. V. E. Johnson has been awarded the honor medal for research work and the discovery of the specific drug for tuberculosis and arterio-sclerosis. Dr. A. I). Johnson member of the committee of Reunion, has been incorporated with a capital of $10,000. Dr. W. V. Lee, Jr., is Virginia’s only drug analyzer and is president of the Narcotic Board. Dr. L. Martin has recently bought out the Parke Davis Company. Dr. Mallory has again contributed to her profession, by discovering a shorter process for making magma magnesia. A Naval Pharmacist, Dr. M. W. Payne. Chief Pharmacist Mate U. S. Navy, recently sailed for the Philippines, Panama and Haiti. Drs. R. L. Roberson and M. L, Wood, arc sole partners in the Atlantic Coast chain stores. Dr. (I. V. Robinson is now analytical ami consulting chemist of the Robinson Laboratories. Dr. W. T. Rollins is the head of Rollins and Sons. Pharmaceutical Research Investigators: Incorporated. The Annual Exhibition of fine Chemicals, Galenicals and other products of the Smith and Padgett Laboratories, Chester, Pennsylvania. was as usual a success. Dr. II. W. Vanhook, of the San Francisco Wholesale Drug House has increased his capital from $75,000 to $1,000,000. Dr. M. Washburn. Jr., is secretarv of the State Board of Examiners of Georgia. Dr. K. Wilson, America’s foremost scientific chemist, has just returned from Europe where lie delivered his master lecture on “Some of the Newer Things in Pharmacy.” Dr. G. L. Cobv is considering accepting appointment as president of the Board of Food and Drug Inspection. As the mist cleared away, I realized the mystery had been unfolded, and that this powder contained the power of unveiling the future. “PHARMACY P is for Purdy, our beloved late Vice-Dean, who gave his life that we may be.

The beginning of these responsibilities was started by the “Father of Modern Dentistry, Pierre Fauchard, over two hundred years ago. We are indeed fortunate that the result of the work of such a great student and observer did not pass without record and as a result his responsibilities to the public of his day are inherited by the present dentists. There are approximately 1,109 Negro dentists in the United States. This means that for every 10,000 Negroes we have one dentist. It is essential. then, that the responsibilities of the dentist to the public are to he considered sincerely. As a result of this great need for dentists in the United States, Howard University and many other dental colleges are exerting every possible effort to heln make the dentist etlicient and willing to meet these responsibilities. At present Howard University has raised the standard of the dental school to class IV : and we, the class of 1924, are told that there are constructive plans to raise the standard in the near future to a class “A school. These responsibilities are not left entirely with the universities as to the advancement and progress of the dental student. Certainly a large percentage of the success of the student is left solely to himself. The anatomist teaches the dental student that his brain is divided into three important parts—cerebrum, cerebellum and medulla oblongata — and that all should be kept busy. There is a theory that the first part of the brain, just back of the forehead, produces original thought or it is the inventive part of the brain. The second part of the brain, the cerebellum. is the working, thinking and planning machinery. It is t hat part of the brain that produces driving energy. The third part of the brain, the medulla oblongata connects the other two parts of the brain with the spinal cord and the nerves that are the brain's messengers. It is that part of the brain that permits the dentist to do his work mechanically. It is in that part of the brain that good habits are developed and important work made automatic. What part or parts of the brain will the student develop? Will it Ik- the first part which will permit him possibly to invent something that will benefit his profession and the public? Or. will it be the second part of the brain which will instill in him the power to think, plan and work? Or, will it be the third part of the brain which will give him the power to do his work mechanically? It is obvious, then, that the dental student should develop the three parts of his brain so that he will be prepared to fultill his responsibilities to the public. These responsibilities are not accomplished thoroughly unless the public cooperates with the dentist. This cooperation is accomplished in many wavs: by teaching the child in the home the importance of cooperating with the dentist for the preservation of his health; next by having physicians and pharmacists to cooperate with the dentist in preserving health in the oral cavity; and. bv the cooperation of the members of the school system in teaching the students to safeguard their health by oral prophylaxis. Finally, if the dentist receives the proper co-operation from all concerned, his responsibilities to the public in the preservation and maintenance of ethical practice of dentistry for the purpose of prolonging health and life will be accomplished.

Dental Class H;istoi7 WE BEGAN OUR CAREER as a dental class, October. 1920, with an enrollment of one hundred and three, three of whom were women. Within a few days after matriculation, we organized under the leadership of Forrester ( Henderson as our president. The class in histology, commonly called “Supper Show” class.— from four o'clock to six o’clock, p.m.—was devoted to the search for malpighian bodies, fund and what not. with the aid of the microscope. I)r. Lamb made anatomy so interesting, that heads and other parts of the cadavers disappeared from the dissecting room to be used by the study groups� -jUur prosthetics class was most amusing, especially when Bill permitted Stump Hamlin to take an impression of his moutn fl Wslructor, Dr. Walton, was forced to use a saw to remove the plaster. The sportsmanship that had slept within several of us since Howard’s victory over Lincoln on the gridiron, was aroused by the balmy spring, and “Shuffle and Cabbage organized a baseball team which not only beat every team on The Hill but challenged the varsity. Syl Smith, Beaman and Mary Watkins won the coveted “H” with their tennis racquets. The year ended with a dance. Another October found eighty-nine Sophomore Dents shaking hands and rejoicing on Howard campus. One member, Mr. Need, had died during the summer. Chemistry, under Prof. Marshall, had discouraged others. Dr. Keemer cultured any number of cocci that made us resemble the “Ben Turpin” family in our efforts to isolate them. Some of the gloom was dispelled, when Jimmie Thornton made a wonderful revelation to the class in his discovery of a new antiseptic—epsom salts. Another of our popular instructors was Dean “Gingiva” Brown. His favorite expression when reading to the class was: “Whew! My, what a word. Some authors use nothing but words.” Thru his untiring efforts, we learned to speak and think in terms of dentistry and learned what Dr. Black meant by “gingivitis.” On the top floor of the medical building was the dissecting room where we “lunched” daily. The room was artistically decorated with dead bodies and scented with “aromatic spirits of formaldehyde.” that irritated the respiratory tract. “Pop” Absalom was too nauseated from the sight of lamb” to sit at the Kissel wheel. “Duke” DuBois was afraid to work on his subject after the thoracic cavity had been opened, because one lung was gone proving that the man had been tubercular. Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like the Sophomore Dents in their uniforms posing for the camera man over mutilated bodies. So ends another year with a dance. There were only 58 to answer to the roll as Juniors. We assumed a dignified seriousness and studious appearance. Nearly every one of us had become affiliated with some quiz club to the great delight of our instructors who had branded us as “outlaws.” We all wished that we ' 'SBBHSSteliM®IBB8885JBIS8-yr6;fr .’3 i'J zicLZ VUJWJStSSBBESSSEl -jOBBat SiHS Se£ tL£ i £ffiEHgEfflESE830aHffi , could remember all of I he ‘•royal families and their offsprings as well as Dr. Mitchell: or could learn the little poem Inflammation” as Dr. Curtis recited it. Still we did boast of a few geniuses as: Rogs Martin tht only chemist who makes hydrogen peroxide. At the close of that year, it tell our pleasurable duty to spend an evening of frolic with the Seniors and Faculty. It was a brilliant soiree. Upon entering our senior term we readily organized, choosing Locket to succeed It. II. Young who had served as president for two years. We resolved to set a precedent to make the class the best ever. Our Federal Board men and Dorrell set a pace that all the rest tried to equal. They hail an advantage of two summers special work over the remainder of the class. Despite the fact that each fraternity at Howard and one sorority are represented in our class, each student shows a brotherly spirit toward his other classmates. The mid-year election of officers resulted in the choice of J. W. Thornton as president: Samuel Thompson, vice-president; Willie Mason, secretary: Walker Bacon, treasurer; (apparently an honorary office, which he has held for four years) : William Washington, sergeant-at-arms; Philip Brook, chaplain; I. C. Mitchell, editor; R. M. Redd, journalist, and Mary J. Watkins, critic. We have three months more on the battle field as this book goes to press. The future looks bright for all. The uppermost thought in every mind is to make quality count. Some fellows have completed enough work for graduation already. When the Day of Judgement” comes with Dean Brown presiding and the twelve jurymen as follows: Drs. Barrier. Edwards, Thomas. Brazier, Curtis. Morrison, Garvin. Wiseman. Mitchell, Gould. Davis and Lohr, 1 hope that these honpst. noble, just and merciful men will stand one hundred per cent for acquittal of every senior prisoner. Then with life standing before us with its boundless horizon of possibilities, may we soar to unknown heights in the practice of our profession; and may our dear old Alma Mater shine in our reflected glory. :i£1qS I ?t j I It I S O N 3f Sophomore Dent.nl ('lass, ’26 opl)omorr Dental Class history On the first day of October, 1022, wc, the members of the Class of 1026. entered Howard’s Dental School. There were thirty of us. representing thirteen States. Africa, South America and the British West In dies—one-third of the number being from the state of Virginia. During our Freshman year, with George Monroe as president, we made u wonderful beginning. In the Howard Medical Endowment Fund drive the Sophomore Dental ( lass took an active part by subscribing liberally as a class and by making individual subscriptions; while many of our members volunteered to canvass the District for subscriptions. Thus ended a successful year. When we returned the first of October, we were sorry to find that three of our members, Bailey, Farrar and Hall, did not return with us, but soon we were joined by Clvde Keith, a former student of the University. and Irving Sheffey, who hailed from the New York School of Dental and Oral Surgery. We glory in the fact that as Sophomores we are not sophisticated but are a superior product to what we were a year ago. We have an additional responsibility of maintaining the high standard which we attained in our Freshman year. Under the careful and patient guidance of our president, Walter Gibson, we have made a wonderful record. Our class can boast of having one hundred per cent promotion in dental histology and pathology, an event which is quite unusual. This Class entered under a new regime and naturally all the eyes of the instructors are upon us. They are always willing to give their support and certainly we shall not disappoint them.

In gathering the material for this history, the editor has searched the University for all available material and has also solicited all possible information from Professors who were prominent in athletics in the past. If we consider the difficulties that were encountered in the earlier days of the University, it is remarkable that the University was able to foster athletics in any way. This is not only true of this university hut it is also true of any university we assume: for no school should have time to develop athletics when all the time must be put in the development of the curriculum. From various records and testimonies given by some of the graduates the athletic editor is convinced that athletics did not become a part of the University's extra-curricula activities until 1802. Previous to that time sports (baseball and football were the only two sports fostered at that time) were supported by students only. They were engaged in more for fun than for anything else. In 1892, Professor Charles Cooke, a graduate of Cornell University, came to Howard as a professor of English. Along with him he brought the traditions of a typical Northern school, and moved them into athletics. Because of his contribution along this line Professor Cooke might be called the father of athletics at Howard. Aside from teaching his class he also undertook the coaching of (he various teams and at times he even played on the team. This statement serves to bring out the situation of athletics at Howard in the earlier days. The following year 1893 found Howard represented on the gridiron. This team was the direct results of the efforts of Professor Cooke. Although the team did not play very many games they did succeed in winning all that thev played. This lack of games was due to the fact that sports, not only at this school but at others, were in their infancy and it was difficult to arrange schedules. Therefore most of the games played were with local clubs and in some instances with a few out-of town clubs. After many years of trouble and reverses a football team was developed which started the traditions that the teams of today are keeping up. In 1894. the team under the captaincy of Campbell had a very successful season. To this team goes the honor of having played the first game of the Howard-Lincoln series. Although they lost the game they showed that thev had the possibilities of doing better. An injury to one ■ f the Lincoln players resulted in the curtailment of the series until 1904. During this ten-year period many games were played. The majority of thesi games were won by Howard. In a few cases the Risons were tied and only rarely were they defeated. Some of their victims were Hygea, Annapolis. Shaw, Union, Morgan, and a host of local and out of town teams. In these ten years we find such men as Dean Holmes. Campbell. Shorter, Smith, (Dr.), Jones, Avant, Fox. Y. L. Smith. Dr. McClelland and a host of others achieving glory and fame for Howard. The team of 1901 might be regarded as one of Howard’s all-star teams, for it was composed of six ex-captains. Some of them were: Dean Holmes, W. L. Smith. Ben. Jackson, I)r. McClelland, and others of equal importance. In 1004, the Howard-Lincoln series was revived. In this year the Bi-sons forfeited to Lincoln after a very successful season. In 1005 the Bisons again lost to Lincoln by a score of 5 to 0. In 1000 the first track meet was held on the campus. Track grew out of the competition for a jar of preserves which was to be given to the winner who could circle the ellipse in front of the main building in the shortest time. Out of this incident track became one of the major sports at Howard. Shortly after the beginning of track as one of the major sports, a track meet was held under the auspices of the Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association, which was the first one ever held on the campus. It proved a great success. The football season of the next fall was not as successful as the season of former years. The Bisons lost to Annapolis in one of the poorest games ever played on Howard's campus. The Baseball team of the same year which was coached by Prof. Janier had a very successful season. The team made a very excellent record on the Southern trip, meeting and defeating some of the best teams in the South. This year saw the beginning of another minor sport. This game which is known as Cricket, is an English game and was introduced by the foreign students who were English subjects. While it is not as popular as the other sports, it is popular among the foreign students and is played to a great extent by them. In 11)07 the baseball team took a trip through the South. This trip was not as successful as the trip of the previous year. However, the season, on the whole, was fairly successful, the team making a much better record at home than on the trip. No intercollegiate track meets were held this year. The Freshman Medics won the inter-class track meet. The football team of this year was coached by Mr. Bullock of Dartmouth. This team defeated all teams with the exception of Lincoln. They lost to the latter by a score of five to nothing. The game was hard-fought, throughout. Barco and Makanya starring. In 1908, Basketball, one of the major sports, was started. As no intercollegiate contests were scheduled this sport was confined largely to scholastic and local club teams. Much credit is due to the I. S. A. A. for the management of this sport. The baseball season of this year might he regarded as a complete failure. They left a one hundred dollar debt, besides losing many games. In this year Tennis was enthusiastically taken up. Two courts were prepared. The track team was winner in the annual meet which was hold on May 30. As a result of this victory they were enabled to retain the loving cup. A difficulty arose in connection with the coaching of the football team; but in spite of this, the team succeeded in defeating all teams and tying with Lincoln 5-5. This was the first time that Lincoln’s goal had been crossed. Terry was looked upon as the star of this season. In 1909, basketball was still being managed by the I.S.A.A. Girls’ basketball made its beginning in this year, and was fairly successful. In baseball, after having made a weak start, the team made a very strong finish, defeating all opponents. Previous to this year, all track meets were managed by the I.S.A.A. This year a change was witnessed, the track and field meets being held under the auspices of the ILL'.A.A. The first cricket match in the his- tory of the University took place April 24, 1009, between the Atlantic City cricket club and the University team. The University team was the victor. This match was attended by a large crowd. The situation created by the uncertainty of a coach in the last season was settled In the fall of this year. Coach Marshall was secured to handle the team. Professor Dyson worked up a training table. The team of this year defeated all teams, including Lincoln. It defeated the latter by a score of 5 to 0. Howard’s goal line was not crossed. Eighteen hundred people witnessed the Howard Lincoln game. In 1910, the first strictly varsity basketball team was formed. They played only college teams and club teams of the highest rank. They played Union the first intercollegiate game, defeating them by a score of 1(5 to 22. The baseball team of this year was very successful. They lost only a few games out of a very large schedule. The second cricket game was played May 8, 1910. This was the first intercollegiate match ever staged by Howard. Howard defeated Lincoln decisively. There is no record of track or tennis for this year. The football team of this year was equally as successful as the one of the past year. II defeated all opponents. Lincoln was defeated by a score of 3 to 0, but Howard’s goal line was not crossed. 1911. The basketball team of this year did well. It defeated some of the best, clubs in the Last and all collegiate opponents. Howard made her first appearance in indoor track during this year. Although she did not succeed in winning she did make a very good showing. On May 30th, Howard was victor in the sixth annual meet. The baseball team, under Coach Marshall, made a creditable showing on the Southern trip, but did not do so well at home, t Baseball was hampered by cliques and lack of interest on the part of students, and also by proximity to the American League Park. The football team defeated all opponents except Lincoln. It tied with the latter by a score of 0 to 0. There were three thousand spectators at the Howard-Lincoln game. In 1912, the basketball team made a successful trip through the North, defeating all opponents. Lewis and Sykes were stars of the season. Howard met Lincoln in basketball for the first time on March 16. 1912, defeating her by a score of 51 to 19. Soccer started in this year also. The baseball team made a very successful trip through the South, losing one out of ten games. There is no record of track for this year. Prior to this year, Howard’s goal line had not been crossed for three years. In this year, however, Hampton succeeded in crossing the Ri sons’ goal line. The team defeated all other teams, including Lincoln. It defeated the latter by a score of 18 to 0. In 1913, the basketball team was very successful. It met and defeated some of the best basketball teams in the country. A big indoor track meet, was held on February 28. 1913. No record is given as to the outcome of the meet. The baseball team, under the captaincy of Sykes, made a very impressive record. Svkes is now one of the country’s leading professional baseball players. Not much progress was made in track. Several meets were held, but none were outstanding. Tennis came in as a great sport, but no intcr-coilegiate matches wore made. The football team was not as successful as the one of the previous year. It lost to Hampton and tied with Lincoln, but defeated other opponents. In 1914. due to the loss of much good material through graduation, the basketball team was so handicapped that the season was regarded as poor. The track team made a good showing in the indoor meet in New York. A The cross-country run, which was held in April, was a complete success. The climax of a good baseball season came with the defeat of Lincoln by the score of 10 to 0. The teams of late 1914 and 1915 were not very strong, as is shown by a statement in the Journal of 1916. This statement reads thus: “In the past year the teams of the University have suffered too much defeat This is not only true of one sport, but true of all. The football team of 1916 lost to Hampton by a score of 12 to 3, tied W. Va. by a score of 7 to 7, and defeated Lincoln bv a score of 26-0. The basketball team of this year was a success. In 1916 the girls of tin University started basketball on the same scale as the varsity squad. Two teams were formed and contests were player! regularly. During this year inter-class games were played, which served to bolster the material for the varsity squad. The season as a whole was quite successful. The team succeeded in winning some very hard games and were also defeated bv onlv the strongest teams. The baseball team was as successful as those of the previous years The Southern trip of this year extended as far as Talladega, Alabama (lames were also arranged with Tuskegee and Morris Brown. A game was scheduled with the Colbv College of Maine, but was not played. The Bisons continued their conquests on the cinder path as they had done in former years. They again succeeded in winning the annual meet held on the campus. As yet Tennis and Cricket had not developed into such prominence that they could be placed on the same basis as the other sports. 'Pile Football season of 1917 was a complete failure, so far as scores indicate. In this year a new coach came to Howard and was confronted by the many difficulties that arise when a new head takes a position. Scores indicate that one of the most miserable teams was developed that ever represented Howard on the gridiron. During the whole season the Bisons did not succeed in winning a contest. They lost to Lincoln by a score of 6 to 0; to Union by a score of 16 to 0; to Hampton bv a score of 37 to 0: to West Virginia by a score of 7 to 6. This poor season is attributed to faulty coaching, lack of rigid training rules, a theoretical training table, not a practical one, and probably mostly to the war. In spite of these various faults, the Bisons put up a hard fight in every contest in which they were engaged. Not onlv did the war handicap football but it handicapped the other sports as well. The basketball, track, and baseball teams suffered greatly as a result of the war. While teams were developed and games played, the teams were not of the caliber of those of previous years and the games naturally were not on par. Not onlv were athletics affected at Howard they were also affected in all the colleges. The year 1917 is regarded as a disastrous year for athletics. In 1918, Coach Robinson who so successfully guided the Union teams to success, came to Howard to direct the destinies of the Bisons. Although he made a poor and late start the season was not as disastrous as that of the former year. The Bisons again lost to Lincoln bv a score of 13 to 0. This year the track team was sent to the Penn Relays. While thov did not win, they did show that thev were true sports by remaining in to the very last. Placed in a class that was entirely too fast for them, they showed that old Howard fighting spirit and gave the best they had. They made considerable progress at home, however, and defeated most of their opponents. The team was greatly aided bv the splendid running of f on-tee and Perry and many others of equal caliber. Howard Si or« on WlllnTfonv In 1919, the Bisons began to be themselves again. The football team defeated all opponents and tied with their ancient rival, Lincoln. The “Classic” of this year was the most bitterly fought contest in years. Played in a rain that had fallen all day and had soaked the field so that it became a mud patch, these two teams fought for one long hour, each trying to overcome the other’s stubborn defense. The toe of “Cute Carter was an important factor in the outcome of this game. The basketball team of this year was also successful. The team succeeded in winning seven games out of ten. This team was built around several stars of the past season and was very well balanced. The track and baseball teams of this year were fairly successful but accomplished no great feat. The track team did not compete in very many meets but did succeed in winning those in which it took part. In 1920, Dr. Kdw. Morrison took charge of the various teams. He established a permanent training table and issued a call for the candidates on the 15th of September. In this year one of the greatest football teams that ever represented Howard on the gridiron was developed. This team defeated all opponents and was not scored on during the whole season. Lincoln was defeated by a score of 42 to 0; one of her worst defeats in many years. The basketball season was quite successful winning six out of nine contests. Lincoln was defeated by a score of 43 to 27. Hampton defeated the Bisons 17 to 1(1 in a closely contested game. Baseball, tennis and track also took up a great deal of the time. The baseball team of ’20 was a bit more successful than the one of the previous year. No tennis matches were scheduled. In 1921. the Bisons under Coach Morrison's care started another successful season. They defeated all opponents with the exception of Lincoln who defeated them by a score of 13 to 7. This defeat was the first in three years. It was also the first time that an opponent had crossed the Bison's goal line in the same length of time. The basketball team of this year was just ns successful as that of the other season. It met and defeated some of the best teams in college circles. In a very strenuous game the Bisons took the Lincoln Lion’s scalp after having been defeated at Lincoln. The track squad of this year was sent to the Penn Relays and after having put up a stiff fight succeeded in forging to the front and being acclaimed as winner of the classic. Incidentally. Howard was the onlv institution, to present a winning team from Washington. There were more than three other colleges from this city that were represented. The Bisons also were victors in the other meets in which they took part. They won the annual Howard meet in IlnWiinl Mnklii lily uains great style, standing far ahead of all other competitors. The baseball team succeeded in winning most of the contest? scheduled. Thev were not quite as successful as thev might have been. A tenuis match was played and won by Howard. Cricket was played but not on the same basis as the other sports. In 1922. Coach Morrison succeeded in developing another winning team but failed to accomplish his most desired end. This year the Bisons lost to Hampton and also to the Lincoln Lions. The crowd that attended this classic was the ere; test that had ever attended any of the annual classics. In Ibis year fraternal basketball took the place of varsitv teams. This was done because of the lack of playing snace and proper facilities. A league was formed from the various fraternities and clubs, and the winner of each league played for the championship of the school. The track team again went to the Penn Relays, but was not as successful as the one of the previous year. The team of last year (Perry, Contee, Craft, and Robinson) was intact with the exception of Perry whose place was taken by Wyndon. The team of this year although running in a much faster class gave a good account of itself. It finished fifth in a class that was as fast as the first class, and much faster than the class in which thev ran last year. The baseball team of this vear was quite successful. They were aided by the great pitching of Taylor, Clarke and Jimmie I.ong. A tennis match was scheduled but did not materialize as was expected. The year 1923, brought another change in the athletic system at Howard. Coach Morrison who rendered such efficient service as coach of the various teams was supnlanted by Mr. Louis Watson, a graduate of Howard and of Springfield Y. M. C. A. College. Major Milton Dean who had served as director of tin Physical Education department also tendered his resignation the year before and this position fell to Mr. Watson. He directed the football team which defeated all their opponents with the exception of Lincoln whom thev tied. The track team of 23 made a clean sweep of the contests in which tlu.v were engaged. Minus the loss of Contee one of the main stays of the team thev made an enviable record, one which is not likely to be forgotten in a short while. Running in one of the fastest classes at the Penn Relays this team, composed of Bridges, Craft. Bright, and Robinson, was nosed out bv a margin of less than one yard. This same team defeated the best of the teams in the C. I. A. A. Not only did tlie team excel in this phase of the sport but it won each event in the weight throwing division and most of those in the field contests. ijgfgjrv t'linton Walker, -jf� SUlglr.' iVlilils 'Imtiiplnii Mr Walker lias Ihimi a iiii'DiInT f tin Var it Tennis (••.- m •luring: his three years at Howard.

The tennis team which came to life defeated its opponents in every match. No cricket matches were played. The coming of 1024 found an old sport being revived. Mr. Burr, who is assistant to Mr. Watson, took charge of the basketball team, and with a very careful eye he built up a quintet composed of Freshmen and Sophomores, and of six games played the team won four. The Bisons twice defeated the Lincoln Lions but they lost to Hampton and Morgan. BASEBALL The Baseball team, which is being coached by Mr. Burr, began about the 15th of March. Handicapped by the severe weather, the team has been forced to spend much time inside delving into the secrets and problems which come up from time to time. With the advent of spring and favorable weather conditions. Coach Burr has always been able to give his charges a bit of outdoor practice and get an eye on the possible members of the team. With a great majority of last year’s varsity men on hand and a wealth of new material Coach Burr is planning to develop one Of the best teams that the University has had. The continuous daily practice which the team has been having, has smoothed out some of the rough problems and has given Coach Burr an eye on the capabilities of this year’s team. The loss of Ed. Taylor and Maceo Clarke lias given the coach one of his greatest problems. In the last few days he has been directing all his attention to the developing of pitchers who will be able to (ill these two portsiders places. Their loss certainly is a loss to this team and it will be a problem to find two men of the same ability as these two men. The first game of the season, which was played against Storer College at home, served to give the Coach an eye on the strength of his team. The Bisons won by a score of 7 to 4. The second game, plaved at Harper’s Ferry against Storer. resulted in a 16 to 6 victory for Howard. On the 21st of April the team left for its annual Southern trip, which lasted about six days. Some of the schools played on this trip were: St. Paul, Petersburg, Va. Union, and Hampton. This trip in the South has put the team in good condition and they arc ready to begin their home schedule with added zeal. TRACK 1921 The outdoor sports for the 1921 season began in the latter part of March. The track team and the baseball team under the careful training of Coaches Watson and Burr are rapidly rounding into shape. The same team which wonderfully represented us in the several track meets last year will be intact with the exception of “Sparky” Bridges who is waging a strong fight with the so-called “white-plague.” With a nucletwof material to be used as a working basis, Coach Watson hopes to develop a track team that will bo second to none in the history of the University. With Captain Anderson, Warring, Croon. Cheney and others in the field and Bright. Craft, Robinson, and Brown, on the track. Coach Watson has enough new material to come very near accomplishing his end. Smith. .Jones, Hill, Henderson and a few other new-comers are sure to be of great value. All of these new men are showing that they will be a great help to the squad, and are certain of winning places. I.KTTBR MEN IN RASKETBAI.L. 1024 Wllllxiiii McCoy. AHiert Mransoii.

Our first and most important meet of the season was at the Penn Relays, v hfch were held on April 25 and 2f� . Our next meet was the Annual Meet staged by Howard. Howard won with Hampton second, Anderson being our star performer. The C. 1. A. A. Meet which will be held at Hampton, under the auspices of the Hampton Athletic Association, poniises to be one that will go down in history. The Bisons will make every attempt to bring back first prize this year. The dual meet which will be staged later on in the year will climax the season. This meet is to be between Howard and Lincoln and will certainly add to the thrills that have been given this year. 1921 — BASKETBALL — 1924 The year 1924 found Howard resuming basketball on the intercollegiate basis. During the period from 1921 to 1924, inter-fraternal basketball took the place of intercollegiate games and the former created such an interest that the University is still somewhat under the influence thus created. Indeed so great has its influence been that some of the best material in the University has been kept off the vanity squad. Howard's inability to be represented on the basketball court during these three years was due to the fact that no court was available that would be adequate for collegiate basketball. But with our gym in view for the next year, basketball was started with the view of creating an interest that would assure the success of basketball in the future years. Just before the Christmas holidays, a call was issued to all candidates for the varsity basketball team. Due to the tremendous interest created by inter-fraternal basketball, a great amount of material was kept from the varsity squad. Regardless of this fact a well balanced team was soon molded out of a large number of men, chiefly Freshmen. Under the tutelage of Coach Burr, this team soon became a formidable one and was regarded as a dangerous opponent. 1 9 2 4 II I S O N On January 29. 1921, the Bison travelled to Hampton, Va., where they niet the ‘'Seasitiers” in the first intercollegiate basketball contest within three years. Playing on a strange court and under such conditions as exist when a team has not been together long, the varsity was forced t«� bow in defeat to the strong Hamilton team bv the score of 29 to 20. The second game ol the season was nlaved at home against Hampton on February 2, 1921. This game was full of interest, particularly so because the varsity had lost tin nrevious game to the “Seasiders.” The Bisons entered this game with the express purpose of avenging the previous defeat and when the final whistle had blown the Bisons were on the long end of the score. The team work of the Bisons was very much better than in the previous game. Score 22 to 21 in favor of Howard. The third game of the season was played on the 9th of February, against Morgan College of Baltimore. The Morganites presented a very fast combination and gave thi Bisons a surprise. They were ahead of the Bisons all the way and when the game ended the score was 38 to 34 in favor of Morgan. ? ? JfiJ53f9E 9l5BB5 9 2 4 BISON ■si 08HSBaiBEEia®BEBS� ®tt 8ffl!3SJg8e®eH' Our fourth game of the season was played against our ancient rivals the Lincoln “Lions.” This game was full of thrills throughout and resulted in a victory for the Risons. The team at this time was showing the form of an aged quint. The passing and defensive work at times seemed to dazzle the “Lions.” nevertheless they were able to cope with the Risons at almost every angle of the game, so that the game was a thriller throughout. Much credit is due to the defensive work of Sewell and Clarkson. The game ended with a score. 21 to 15, in Howard's favor. The Risons next journeyed to Baltimore to take the scalp of the fast Morgan team. Aroused hv the defeat of the Morgan team, the Risons were full of zeal and went into the game to emerge victorious. The fact that Morgan has never lost on her own floor, made the game all the more interesting Despite the fast game that the Morganites put up, the Risons emerged on the long end of the score. The score was 2 2 to 19. The last game of the season was played in Philadelphia against the Lincoln Lions' on the 29th of February. The Risons urged on by their good record gave the “Lions their worst defeat of the season. Minus the aid of Clarkson and Sewell tin Risons played exceptionally well. Their places were ably filled bv Branson and Bundrant. The score was 31 to lb. l.KTTKU MKN IN KnoTBAl.l. IirjK-24 AiuUtmhi Thomas J. Kelly. Iloiighlou M. Uimley. 1 ’I.vskcm S. (.••m:. Kdpnr Ilhnkmou.

Squad I'hysh-iau FOOTBALL 1923-24 The season of 1923 found new management in charge of the Department of Physical Education at Howard University. The desire of the University to develop a school of Physical Education led it to seek persons who are especially fitted for such work. Mr. Watson, graduate of the Springfield Y. M. C. A. College, and a holder of the degree of Bachelor of Physical Education, was offered the position, and in the spring of 1923 accepted and took up his new duties. He is now being ably assisted by Mr. .lohn Burr, who also holds a degree from the Y. M. U. A. College. With the co-operation of these two men. the hope of the udminstra-tion will soon he realized. That hope is to develop the department of Physical Education to the extent that the same course can be offered at Howard as is offered at Springfield Y. M. C. A. College. As customary, our football season owned on the 15th of September under the direction of Coach Watson and Assistant Coach Nurse. All eyes of the public were focused on the new coach and his assistant to see what kind of team would be developed. Under the watchful eyes of Coach Watson and his assistant, a smooth working team, built around a few of the veterans of the 1922 season, was soon developed. The first game of the season was played against the Agricultural and Technical College of Greensboro, N. C. The team which offered Howard such little opposition last year, proved a worthy foe for the “Bisons” this year. Although the game resulted in a victory, it showed that there was room for improvement. The score was 7 to 0 in Howard's favor. The second game was played with our ancient rival, Lynchburg Seminary. This game was of particular interest because it brought the Morrison system against the Watson system. This game was plaved at home on the 13th of October and resulted in the second victory for the “Bisons.” The team showed a great improvement over the team of preceding Saturday. The score was 13 to 0 in Howard’s favor. The third irame of the season was played against Livingstone College of North Carolina. This team came here with a string of victories attached to it and expected to take the Bisons scalp. They made a dashing attack but soon realized they were not in the Bisons' class. They were easily defeated, being outplayed in every department of the game. The game ended in favor of Howard. Score 15 to 0. On the following Friday, contrary to football traditions, the Bisons met the Morehouse eleven in the American League park. This game was an experiment on the part ot the University and proved a great success. Before a representative group of spectators, the Bisons defeated the team that had been seeking a game with Howard for more than twenty years. They presented a formidable team, hut in spite of their clever tactics they could not penetrate the Bisons defense and were defeated by a score of 15 to 0. The success of the Morehouse game led the officials to stage the Wilberforce game in the Park. These lads from the West came here with the express purpose of doing what no other team had been able to do. They put up a clean fight and used every play they knew, in order to stop the Bisons in their march. They did succeed in holding them in check for a while hut the continuous hammering for which the Bisons are noted soon liegan to establish their superiority and the game ended in Howard’s favor. Score 7 to 0. On the following Saturday the officials were able to secure the Park again and the Bisons met the Petersburg team there. The vistors presented a fast running attack but did not cause the Bisons any great amount regsqrgfr ®B00HaBEBHMmBEBeBaMaeS� a8WB of trouble, for they soon met this attack with a stubborn defense. 1 he visitors did. however, succeed in crossing the Bisons' goal line, something no other team had been able to do. The game ended in Howard’s favor, tlie score being 19 to 6. The next Saturday the Bisons travelled to Hampton with the sole purpose of avenging the defeat administered by the Seasiders last year. They succeeded in accomplishing their purpose and added one more victory to their long string. They decisively defeated the Seasiders by the score of 19 to ( . Just before the annual classic the Bisons spent an entire week in the developing of new plays for the greatest game of the season. After a week they returned home from their secret camp and immediately departed for Philadelphia, where the annual game was to be staged. On the 29th of November the Bisons met the Lincoln “Lions” before one of the largest crowds that has ever witnessed this classic. Thousands journeyed from all sections of the country to cheer their respective teams only to see the classic end in a tie. It was a thrilling game throughout ami will long be remembered by all who witnessed this contest. The score was 6 to 6. Although not as weil supported as he might have been, Mr. Watson proved his abilitv as a Howard coach. To him and his assistant, Nurse, are due much credit for the development of such a team as represented Howard on the gridiron this past season. v. WOMEN IN ATHLETICS As you read over the athletic history you noticed that very little is said concerning athletics for young women of the University. This is due to the fact that it was not customary for young women to take part in any sport in the earlier days of the University. As the time advanced it became noticablo that young women desired to participate in some of the minor sports at least. Not until about 1916 did athletics for women assume a decided basis. In this year a basketball team was developed, and while no inter-collegiate or inter-scholastic contests were scheduled, games were played among the different classes and clubs. From this date, up to the present time the young women have been taking an active part in tennis, basketball and in some years in track. These sports among the young women have been very uneven, mainly because of the lack of proper facilities and instruction. In 1919, the University, to avoid this fault appointed Miss Tuck as acting dean of women and physical education instructor. Under her supervision these sports were carried to the limit and several teams were developed in each sport. In 1921 a basketball team was developed that was defeated by the Y. W. C. A. basketball team. This was the only game played. In 1923 a track team was developed under the direction of Miss Curtis who succeeded Miss Tuck. A very successful track meet was held and proved that athletics for women was not a waste of time, and that it was very much desired bv the University women. The spirit shown indicated the possibility of athletics in the years to come. This track meet was the first ever held and was well attended by the public. Not only was a track meet held, but an exposition of the kind of work taught was also given. This department which has been sadly neglected in the past, has been reorganized under the care of Miss Curtis and will no doubt be an important element in the University curriculum when the gymnasium is built. 19 2-1 BISON f W Wl frJ -Ct n.7nirrJ, •isnieasszsEEissssasBE cfgggsaaCTawg « Mhagaa!BflTBff 19 2 1 f3 S2 3S2J32ESEn3iaiei I S f3 WB (Organisations I i QTfir Atubrnt Council T THE BEGINNING of the school year of 1920-21. the administration of Howard University turned over to its students a constitution which permitted them to elect from their own numbers a group of students to compose what should be known as a Student Council. No professional schools were included. This was the first attempt at student government on the campus. The council was to consist of a president, chosen by the students from the members of the senior class, two members elected at large from the senior class, two members elected at large from the junior class, and two members sent directly from each of the college classes, with the provision that the freshman class would not be represented until the second quarter of its stay in the University. With a group thus formed, the first student council began its work under the leadership of George Brown of the class of ’21, as president; Ottie Graham of the class of '22. as vice president; Sadie Spence of ’22, as secretary, and Frederick I). Jordan as treasurer. There was much for this council to learn and much for it to do. One of the first problems that presented itself was that caused by the clash of tin immense task before the council and the limited working field provided for it by its conservative constitution. For example, the second sentence of the constitution demanded that the council should “develop in the students a wise and intelligent self control.” but it was repeatedly asserted throughout the constitution that all its actions and proposals would be subject to faculty control. Thus the council groped on through the first year of its existence, holding its regular weekly meetings and conducting student mass meetings which came all too infrequently and far between. The class of ’24 entered its representation on the roll of the Council in January, 1921. It was represented by Frederick H. Robb and Joanna R. Houston, who. despite their short stay in the University and the greenness usually ascribed to the freshman year, saw immediately that the student council was a student council only in name. They were instructed by the older members of the council (who soon saw the liberal trend of their thoughts) that their thinking might be as liberal as they liked but all proposals or recommendations made outside of the council meetings must come within the bounds of the conservative constitution. And so the council continued to meet, occasionally it made requests of the ad- 19 2 1 0 N ministration, some of which were heard from and others ended with the making. The year went on peacefully until the president, near the end of the year, called a mass meeting in the interest of abolishing compulsory chapel attendance and the eight-cut law. The council survived the storm and lived to see the eight-cut law repealed. The compulsory chapel attendance agitation went over to the next year. Before School closed in the spring, the president of the council for the ensuing year was elected and the choice fell upon Frederick D. Jordan, treasurer of the first council. The council had much to look forward to in a year’s work under his leadership. He had been a member of the first council and one of its chief assets, a sane but progressive thinker, with just the qualifications for the position. During the summer which followed, Mr. Jordan decided it to be best for him to take up the work leading to his profession at Northwestern University. He came to Howard in the autumn only to say goodbye. The students then cast about them for the next best person for the office of president of the Student Council, and the responsibility was placed upon the shoulders of Z. Alexander Looby of the class of '22. The work of the second council begun in tin- autumn of '21 only to find itself handicapped by the lack of liberty to do little else but hold its weekly meetings, and discuss what to them seemed good to do but which they dared not attempt. Compulsory chapel attendance was abolished during the winter quarter of the same year and the natural reaction followed; attendance fell off almost wholly, and the problem of increasing the attendance came to the council. In addition to this, the? attempt to regulate smoking on the campus had failed and that too was turned over to the student council. All of these projects remained in the same state as before; and the various attempts at them proved failures. At the end of the year, the students elected D. Ward Nichols as president of the council for the next year. The council under Mr. Nichols was the first to leave an available written record and the second to attack a ruling of the administration. The ruling to which it objected was that which gave to the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women undisputed authority in cases of student discipline. The fight against this ruling accomplished nothing. Near the close of the year, Louis E. King was elected to tin office of president for the ensuing year. Mr. King grasped the opportunity to take a peep in on the work of the outgoing council before it was disbanded. He took an active part in the program of the council for the last few days of the school term. He went with the group to the administration to make recommendations concerning conditions which were becoming unbearable on the campus and on account of which many complaints had arisen. In the autumn of '2:1 the council organized under the leadership of Louis E. King and elected Frederick H. Robb as vice-president. The council has since that day, been grateful to the fate which led them to choose as Mr. King’s first assistant, a young man who had been his bosom friend since their freshman days. Those who knew these two men and had had an opportunity to observe their dynamic spirit, the influence of the unlimited energy which courses through their veins, and their magnificent spirit of co-operation, could have prophesied for the council an eventful year in spite of the existing difficulties. The other officers of the council were: Julia B. Hubbard, recording secretary; Joanna R. Houston, corresponding secretary; Elbert H. Beard, treasurer, and Edward I Lovett, chairman of the social committee. The council was composed largely of students who had shown a marked interest in extra curricula activities, especially was this true of the president and vice-president. Having deplored for a long time the manner in which extra-curricula activities had suffered on the campus as a result of lack of funds, the council began immediately to plan for pulling them out of the mire. The planning resulted in their proposing to the administration a budget system which would necessitate the payment of one dollar by each student on the day of registration for each quarter. This dollar would cover the extra-curricula charges as mapped out by the council, be paid at the office of the Secretary-Treasurer, and entitle each student paying it. to a reduction ol twenty-live cents on all tickets to university affairs, to which there is an admission fee. A quarter’s subscription to the student publication, and a free reception to the student body at which refreshments should be served. After much debate and explanation the proposal was accepted by the administration and the extra charge of one dollar added to the fee cards for the winter quarter. As soon as the council learned that the budget system would become effective, it began immediately to make provisions for a student paper. The Howard Journal had been published intermittently for several years, but tip to the end of the first quarter of the school year now under consideration. there had been no form of student publication. .lust before the University closed for the Christmas holidays, the council elected the staff for the proposed publication, chose for it a new name, “The Hill Top”, from the second line of the Alma Mater song, and made arrangements for beginning work upon it as soon as work was resumed after the vacation. Into the arrangements for this publication went the real spirit of the Council, a spirit prompted bv love of Old Howard, a feeling that the students of Howard v u$t contribute something to the field of iournalism, and the desire to stimulate the students to thinking and putting their thoughts into print, in order that in the years to come there might remain some record of how and what they thought. The extra curricula fee was collected, the “Hill Top published and financial aid was given to the following extra-curricula activities: the Y. M. C. A., the Y. V. C. A., the Kappa Sigma Debating Society, the Dramatic Club, the Commercial Outlook (student publication in the school of Commerce and Finance), the Artist Recital Fund of the Conservatory of Music, the general treasury of the Sudent Council. Sufficient funds were laid by to entertain the student body free of charge to them. From the amount placed in the treasury of the council, contributions have been made In the Harding Memorial. Foreign Student Relief, and the fund for providing the colored soldiers in the Walter Reed Hospital with a radio set. Repairs have been made in the council office including staining and varnishing the floor and furniture and purchasing a rug. The next stroke of the council was made at the constitution. A thorough revision was made and a new constitution presented to the students in the “Hill Top under the date of March 15, 1924. This constitution gave to the council more power, greater responsibility and an increased membership. Following the revision of the constitution, this particular council made its first attack upon anv arrangement that had been definitely settled by the administration. Feeling that the time had passed when the opinion of a group of university students fails to count in the arrangements that are made for them, the council called a mass meeting of the students and proposed to them the matter of recommending to the Academic Coun- 19 2 1 B I SO j'ES.'Si. 2i5fi33ff5t’ 335 3 til: (1) that compulsory R.O.T.C. be abolished and that the students be given the privilege of choosing between the work in R.O.T.C. and the regular work in Physical Education; (2) that certain members of the faculty be asked to hand in their resignations; and (3) that we have a new Dean of Men. These recommendations have not yet been sent to the administration but will be in the near future. The council through the four years of its existence has been composed as follows: Till: STU'ENT H N« II. membership First Yb b 1020-21 (intre V. Brown. President Siidit S|«-nr� . Seen tarp Cnduim.

The present council lias taken all Howard’s interests and all racial interests thus involved, very seriously. Its accomplishments have not been made because of few obstacles, but in spite of many. It leaves Howard with the hope that the positions on the Council will always be filled by those who can till them best; that the progressive ideas, partly expressed in the efforts of this council, will be completed by the addition of more and greater ideas on the part of those who shall follow. iSaOTSSR 10 2 1 B 1S 0 X m22 Sotuiff fficn’s CfjriSttan Association During the present college year, the University Y. M. C. A. has con-tinued to work along the line of the program which it started last year, which program was to bring about the greatest possible good to the largest number of the University’s male students. Mr. William B. West, with the assistance of the vice-president, Mr. Elvin L. Davenport (the president, Mr. Beni. J. Jackson, being out of school on account of the illness of his father), has kept alive the wonderful “Y spirit which he succeeded in arousing last year. It is only necessary to recount a few of the activities during the present school year for which the “Y” has been responsible to demonstrate its genuine value. With “Unselfish Service to All as its motto, the “Y‘ with Mr. West as “Big Brother, has served as a clearing house for the troubles of all the boys. The spirit of cheerfulness and good will existing throughout the student body this year can be traced back to the “Y office. Special work among the students of an individual and also of a group nature is often asked of the Y by the various departments of the University, particularly the offices ot the Registrar. Junior College and the Dean of Men. A spirit of co-operation is always manifested. Prospective students of the University find no better source of inspiration than the Y”. Letters flow in from all parts of the country and these are promptly answered by the secretary. Similar correspondence is also carried on with the parents of these prospective students. Together with the Dean of Men. the “Y’ through Mr. West, also seeks to keep up an interest in the spiritual side of the University life; and the results of this effort, especially as demonstrated during the Week of Prayer, have been very satisfactory. From the beginning of school to February of the year '2tt-’24, employment amounting in cash value to the students of $10,500 has been secured and the Book Exchange has also handled a large number of books. These very essential features speak for themselves through these pleasing results. At the Middle Atlantic Student Officers Conference at Storer College last October, Mr. West was accompanied by Messrs. F. II. Robb and R. Mantley as delegates. The Deputation Committee, of which Mr. Robb is chairman, has supplied speakers for the Sunday afternoon meetings at the Bowie (Md.) Normal School. In addition to several students serving in this capacity, Mr. West, anil also Mr. Burr, Assistant Physical Director, have spoken. A moving picture, showing the history of the “Y” movement was presented in the chapel on February 28th. These, with other activities equally as glowing, have helped send the “Y” over the top in its value to the students this year. nmciKs IV-n.ininiii J. Jackson ____I’.

Christian Association Through the efforts of the cabinet and aid rendered by the National Association, the University branch of the Young Women’s Christian Association has become one of the strongest women’s organizations on the campus. Despite the fact that the inspiration which usually comes from the summer conference was lacking, the determination of those responsible for the work of the association has accomplished every item in the calendar of work for the year. Upon request, two rooms were granted the association, they have been furnished and serve as a rest room for women city students during the day and a reading and recreation room for campus girls during leisure hours. Through the Social Service Department, several girls play the role of “Big Sister to groups of unfortunate girls and hoys in the city, and visit the Old Folk’s Home frequently. The week of December 3-0 brought to the campus Miss Francis Williams. student secretary of the National office, who. in series of lectures told the nature of the “Y work. She emphasized the association as an international organization, offering advantages for inter-racial contact not available elsewhere. During the week of January 27. Miss Williams returned to the campus accompanied by Miss Louise Ilolnujuist. the executive secretary of the National Student Department of the Y. W. C. A. Without external aid, the association sent a representative. Miss Mary F.mma .Mack, to the International Student Volunteer Convention, held at Indianapolis, Ind., December 27. 1023 to Jan. 3. 1024. A report of this conference was given to many groups of the University, including the student body at large. It was also published in the Hill Top anil the University Record. Preparations are now being made to send two delegates. Misses Mack and Mabel Holloway, to the National Student Assembly in New York City. April 20 to May 6. The social committee plans to foster athlftic? and wholesome recreation during the spring through the organization of tennis, crocpiet, baseball, and sight-seeing clubs. Officers for next year will be elected in March, and in order that the new cabinet may make even more of a success of the? work than the orcsent one. a Cabinet Training Council, under the supervision of national student secretaries, will lx? held in April for the purpose of training the new cabinets and other interested young women for leadershin. With such training it is expected that the association next year will lx? the greatest in the country.

It has aimed to create a greater interest in argumentation, parliamentary procedure, and oratory. This organization has developed the vast majority of male leaders of the student body for many years. The men with ihe keenest minds, plenty of initiative, advocators, speakers, presidents of many of the classes as well as Student Councils have generally acquired much of their ability through the medium of this organization. In fact, many of our prominent lawyers, developing young leaders, and active alumni were to be found in the weekly meetings of this sovietv. For the past two seasons the debaters have been able to win the “Triangular Debate made up of Howard, Union ami Lincoln. Prof. Montgomery Gregory who has coached the debating squads for several years is to be given credit for the excellent showing of the teams in forensic contests. This same society thru the initiative of Mr. Garland Wood, in 1022 proposed a national inter-collegiate honorary debating fraternity. This group was organized on Howard’s campus in the same year, with delegates from Union and Lincoln present. Mr. G. Wood was elected as the first president of this Delta Sigma Chi whose function was to organize varsity debaters, present them with keys and foster public speaking, argumentation and oratory among Negro college students to a greater extent. Up to the present time over 40 keys have been awarded to varsity debaters of the three schools. During F. II. Robb’s two year term as president, the organization has endeavored to increase the number of chapters. Wil-berforce and Morehouse college have favorably considered making application to membership in the Honorary Debating Society. Finally, the members agreed to inaugurate an annual Douglass Day, at which time a series of oratorical contests shall be given on Frederick Douglass’s birthday to encourage oratory among college students. Plans are Ix'ing made to publish the first Negro Intercollegiate Debating Manual next year, having the debates of Howard. Atlanta. Union, and Lincoln included in the lx ok. The incoming officers should use their talents to see that the ideals, and traditions of Kappa Sigma Debating Society are perpetuated. The annual Freshman-Sophomore Debate proved to be a super success intellectually and financially. The members of this group have discussed several vital questions to the students at various meetings during the year such as. Compulsory R. O. T. vs. Optional R. O T. C. and Physical Education. Compulsory Chapel vs. Voluntary. Student Council Budget System, and that the Student Council Should Disciplin Students. These informal discussions have proved to be quite stimulating. In addition, the debating society has been placed on a sound financial basis as a result of the Student Council Budget System which requires students to pay an extra-curricula fee. l 2 ► : or 1 0NK XT Ql KNTHl iii� v kh iini. r� .ics Ml ; t£ (A I'.MIS I'M l I 15MHI )! !� 1910 1910 1910 1911 Shaw _____________Ship Sulmiily ------------------------- Lincoln __________Woman Suffrage Willierforce . .('liwl Simp-------------------------------- Fisk ___________..llliiiini' T:iN -________________________ Atlanta-----------In.....

Women’s Christian {temperance {Union The Young People's Branch of the Women's Christian Temperance Union has for its motto these words: “No good thing is failure; no evil thing is success. In view of this motto the Howard Branch has done its bit by falling directly in line with the public sentiment expressed in favor of prohibition and obedience to law. The purpose of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union in its last analysis is more far reaching than prohibition alone, it has for its purpose the making of good, strong citizens. In order to carry out this purpose, however, one of the first things necessary is to remove those factors which would operate to weaken and debilitate. The greatest of these factors has been legitimately removed and the problem now resolves itself into law enforcement. As has been stated this is but one phase of the work of the organization. It aims to develop strong American citizens through other channels. such as a study of women in industry, child welfare, social morality, social welfare and health, and anti-narcotic campaigns. All of these phases of the work show that the ultimate aim of the organization is social betterment. The Howard Branch of this organization realizes the importance of the work carried on and has entered heartily into discussions which proved the worth of the organization. Mrs. Alma J. Scott. President of the local Women’s Christian Temperance Union addressed the student organization and her enthusiastic remarks were graciously accepted. It is the hope of the Branch to secure more speakers during the succeeding year, as well as more young men and women who are willing to show their position on the temperance question by affiliation with a temperance organization. The officers are as follows: f.vilin «’rmvfnnl Mt-lvlu I in itk.- I.tii'ilr l!r � wn _ i i- I Mm -----t'rrxht, „t 'irr-l‘i‘i A{‘h hI S'rrft Itli fl Tmmurrr |3fstalo«i Jfroffacl ©ocicti Twenty years ago the students of the School of Education organized themselves into a society for the fostering of professional pride in their field. In honor to two modern educational pioneers upon whose principles the modern school is largely modelled and whose educational ideas they desire to improve and perpetuate, they christened their organization the Pestalozzi-Froebel Society. For proselyting young men and women into the teaching field, and in other ways stimulating those that have already devoted themselves to the business of teaching, this Society is an invaluable instrument, not only to the University itself, but in the general field of education, for those who have caught a glimpse of the ideals here promulgated, leave with a determination to spread them as far and as wide as their influence will run. Until the opening of the War of 1914 and even up to the entry of the United States in 1917, the Society had accomplished much. But it was only one of the many phases of social activity that suffered a lapse from the tremendous drag which the War occasioned. From 1917 to 1923 one hardly heard the name of the Pestalozzi-Froebel Society. But the opening of the school year 1923-24 brought with it a new spirit in the School of Education, and the long forgotten Society began to show signs of resuscitation. In January. 1924, the Society was formally reorganized with 120 members, including not only the students in the School of Education but those in other schools who are planning to make teaching their voca tion, as well as some few who, though they do not intend to follow teaching as a career, are interested in education. Each member shows a lively interest in the ideals of the Society, realizes his obligation to it and is doing his best to assist in materializing its aims. Already the work of this Society is beginning to show itself on the Campus, by elevating the teaching profession until in its nobleness and honor it is second only to the profession of the ministry. In order to accomplish this purpose the Society has had weekly papers by various members. open forums and addresses by prominent speakers, I)r. J. Stanley Durkee and Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. We are sure that in the endeavor to carry out our ideals we will have the co-operation of all those who plan to enter the teaching profession and who realize as well as we do the great need of efficient teachers and educators in our Kace.

E Sj?J3Sl8S2 £fi 19 2 4 BISON l oUiarb IPcimrn’s Ucaguc For a long time there was a feeling among the women students of Howard University that the women ought to be organized. The definite need for some organization to foster the purely woman interests of the University was keenly felt. To answer this need the Howard Women’s League was organized in the spring of 1923 under the guidance of the new Dean of Women. Miss Lucy I). Slowe, who has shown every disposition and care to direct the lives of the women ot the University into richer and fuller channels of lift?. A group of girls labored over the constitution and when it finally emergen! it made every woman student of the University, undergraduate or professional, ;wo facto a member of the League. The Howard Women's League aims to make the women a vital, organized force in the University to support the things that will be for the better manhood and womanhood ot the University. The League does not aim. however, to make the women a separate part of the University; it aims to make them an integral, inseparable, contributing part of the whole. It is interested particularly in the development and support of all women organizations and women activities. The League is anxious to broaden the outlook of women as well as their local life. To this end it has fostered the establishment of a chapter of the Inez Milholland Memorial Society among the women of the University. in order that they mav be more intelligent concerning world affairs as they relate to women particularly. Not only does the chapter at Howard stand for informing the women on the issues of the National Women’s Party, of which the Inez Milholland Memorial Society is a branch, but it has brought to the women of the University speakers of the opposite party, in order that the women of the University may know the whole story and choose their affiliation. The League has interested itself in general campus problems. The question of correct and incorrect taste in dress for the college woman came under discussion and the women formed very definite ideals in this respect. The women faced the very troublesome problem, peculiar to all co-educational institutions, of the relationship between men and women both during the business and recreational hours, and thrashed it out to a very sensible conclusion. The change in the atmosphere of the campus has been marked this year over other years. As its spring project, the League is fostering talks and helps on vo rational guidance, and a committee, of which Miss Virginia Puffin is chairman, lias developed plans by which the League may get money in order to purchase and present to the University library some much needed reference books. There is much work ahead for the? League to do. After it has passed the throes of birth anil is well established in the University life of the women it will he able to do much to help the women to a larger growth of service, both to their University and to the world as they go out.

Realizing the important part which student organizations all over the world are at present playing and the growing influence of national and international student movements the students at Howard resolved to meet the challenge and out of this resolution sprang the Student Progressive Club. The aim and spirit of this club is well formulated in the preamble of its constitution as follows: “We, the students of Howard University, in order to promote a greater Howard, to advance higher education among Negro youth, and to affiliate for mutual helpfulness with national and international student groups for the advancement of civilization and democracy. do hereby ordain anil establish this our constitution.” Although the group has been small, it has been energetic and enthusiastic, thereby balancing its lack of numbers with its excess of vital force. This club has done its share in helping to encourage and perpetuate the intellectual life of the University by its weekly discussions of social, industrial and religious problems which are national and international in scope. Fostering the spirit of youth with its never tiring energy, broad mindedness, willingness to sacrifice and non-conservatism, the Student Progressive Club has sought to enlighten those in search of truth, to overcome policies and dogmas and to seek to collect and disseminate knowledge. The accomplishment of these ideals has been approached in four definite wavs; viz.. (1) by the discussion of vital modern problems; (2) by the affiliation with other student organizations; (3) by the international exchange of ideas with foreign student organizations; (4) by the attendance at student conferences. The value of the weekly discussions of the club is not to be doubted. The Russian situation; the phases of the American race question both in the North and in the South; Gandhi and India; the student movements on the Continent and in England; the Bok Peace Plan, and an endless number of equally interesting and pressing problems have been discussed pro and con. 19 2 4 BISON Supplementing these student discussions there have been speakers of note presented to the public by the Student Progressive Club, one of these was Paul Blanchard, Field Secretary of the League for Industrial Democracy. The club also presented I)r. Alain LeKoy Locke, Professor of Philosophy, who has lately returned from abroad. He addressed the audience on “Student Movements in Europe.” The last speaker of the year was Mr. Devvalt. of Liberia, who spoke on “The Challenge of Liberia to the American Student.” The Student Progressive Club in order to keep abreast with the times at once utliliated with the National Student Forum, The League for Industrial Democracy, and the American Federation of Negro Students. organizations whose purposes run parallel to its own. Aside from the contact and information gained from regular correspondence, literature, etc., the club has had the honor of a visit from Mr. Paul Blanchard while on his tour to eastern colleges. This affiliation has not been limited to the United States, but is international. The Student Progressive Club corresponds with the National Union of Students of England and it is hoped that this foreign correspondence will soon include a number of European student organizations. The matter of student conferences is a very important one since it is at such conferences that the ideals of the present generation are molded. Taking due advantage of the Goucher College Conference held at Baltimore, three delegates, Miss Houston, Mr. Robb and Mr. Decasseres were sent to represent the student organization at Howard. The results of this conference brouph about a keen desire to attend future conferences as well as many progressive suggestions to be carried out by the club.

' r He Cercle Jfrancais “A Vivre sans Peril on Triomphe sans Gloire. This short sentence sums up all the activities, all the aspirations, all the ideals of the French Club of Howard University. The Club has seen its fifth anniversary, and if proper weight is to be given to present premonitory indications it will, ere long be, ‘Sou pareU’’ among organizations of its kind, not only in Howard University but in the whole United States. Today, five years after its creation, its membership stands close upon one hundred and fifty. Its meetings are held weekly and are always well attended. During the month of January, Mile. Gabrielle Huerdier, upon invitation. visited the club and a special program was rendered. So charmed was she by this reception that she voluntarily paid it a second, and a third visit. During this month, also, the Monsieur Gendroa, who is well known in the diplomatic circle of Washington, acceeding to a request, found opportunity to lay aside the toils of politics and address the club on a prepared topic. He, like Mile. Heurdier. went on record as being immensely gratified by the general attainments of the club. Added to this, literary and musical programs are always rendered, and all these functions are conducted wholly in French. The club enjoys the sponsorship of Professor Metz Lochard. than whom no more magnanimous gentleman exists. To him is due the great credit for the success the club has achieved thus far: and it seems to us that his benignance is everywhere apparent, and a distinct incentive to the organization. As a peroration to this short essay, the French Club of Howard lays claim to a record—at least for the current school year—of which an organization of its kind may well be proud; and with the sustained interest of its members, with the stimulating interest of its patrons, with a growing interest in its welfare, it will yet add greater luster to the glory of Howard University. oi ruKRs roH 1923-1M Jnlm ('iiinminp .................

Professor E. P. Davis, at the time a fellow at the University of Chicago obtaining his Ph.D.. in German. Thus far, however, the year 23-24 has been a most brilliant one for the club. It often happens that a club is organized with vim and “pep” and that soon the interest f the majority lags, leaving only a few loyal members to carry on the work begun by many. It is largely dependent upon the presiding officers and program committee whether a dub of this kind thrives or fails. It would be a rank injustice, then, to attempt to say anything concerning the achievements of the German Club without first saying a word as to the zeal with which our president, Mr. Welford Jackson, and our program committee, headed l� v our vice-president, Miss Ruth Green, have worked, aided by Professor Davis, to make and keep the German Club a peer among its kind. Object Of The Club The purpose of the club is utilitarian as well as social. The German language is used at all meetings to familiarize the students with words, sentence structure and idioms; that is, to promote the use of conversational German. As a social factor, the club aims to supply social programs conducive to intellectual pleasure and has at least one meeting of a purely social nature. Mem bkks ii ip The enrollment (paid members) is about seventy-five. Many of these members take an active part in the meetings. All present and former students of German are eligible for membership. Activities At tin second meeting of the club this year. Dr. Davis gave an illustrated lecture on Berlin and the Royal Palace there. The data were obtained during his trip to Europe last summer. Our meetings are held bimonthly, on the second and fourth Tuesdays. The meetings are devoted to business and to programs planned by the program committee and rendered by members of the club. Any one interested in German is invited to these meetings. Two rather elaborate programs have been rendered. Not ihe least of the social features is the annual “Deutsche Tauz of which every one has heard. It is the formal affair of the season which it is indeed a rare privilege to attend.

It' one chances upon even a new acquaintance, but from home, there seems to he a latent force which impels immediate friendship. Such impulses or feelings are not only common in busy life, but also just as true in school. The new student arrives at school unheralded, unknown. His impulse is to meet some old acquaintance or at least someone from his home town. From these he expects love and sympathy. But the student might not always meet all the students from his town, or even the greater number, if the enrollment is exceedingly large, hence, sectional organizations are necessary. For this reason the student body of Howard University is subdivided into various sectional clubs. In such organizations fraternal relations arc almost forgotten. Each because of his fidelity to his home, harbors a love for even’ other member. For whatever advantage, experienced by virtue of residing in a vicinity, one has enjoyed, he shared it with his neighbor. Whatever of disadvantage, he also shared with his neighbor, but aimed to overcome. Of such organizations, founded upon the above hypothesis, the Northeastern Club” is no small factor. For many years the Northeastern Club has striven to welcome its new members, to encourage, and enlighten them. For years it has sought to amalgamate the minds and thoughts of those students of Howard University, who are residents of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island. Connecticut. Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, into one of a firm brotherhood. For years it has kept before these members the desire to uphold the worthy traditions of the section which they represent, and to fulfill the needs as mentioned above. But the Northeastern Club of today shall not only uphold and cherish the traditions and standards of the past, but it shall broaden its scope. It shall endeavor to create a Howard stimulus in the communities which it represents. It shall propagate a desire for higher education in the minds of the youth at home, and thus a greater Howard.

February 2, 1924, at the call of Mr. Win. Menchan, the Florida Club was reorganized. This organization purposes to look after the general interest and welfare of the students who come to Howard from the state of Florida. It proposes also to act as a bureau of information and advice to prospective students from Florida.

The club was organized several years ago and for some time it has looked after the welfare of students coming from the state. The members and the officers of the club feel that it is not wise to limit the service of the organization to Washington students only, but that the scope of the work should be broadened so as to reach the people and students at home as well. If we did less than this, the club would be sure to defeat the very purpose for which it was organized. The prime object of the club, as the president states it, is service—service both to ourselves and to the people at home. The club feels extremely proud of such Louisianians now living in the District of Columbia as Dr. M. O. Dumas, who has made a splendid success in the medical world, and is also a member of the board of trustees of Howard University. We are equally proud of Attorney .James A. Cobb who has made a wonderful success in the practice of law, and is now vice dean of the law school of Howard. Year after year there are great numbers of students graduating from the various high schools and colleges in the state of Louisiana. Often we find that some of these, our best students, ure unable to continue their education because they lack sufficient funds. Realizing this fact, we are trying to work out some plan by which we can assist some deserving student each year. The welfare committee in accordance with a resolution adopted by the club, has mapped out plans for providing a scholarship of at least seventy-five dollars or more to be awarded to some student from the state. Tentative plans as agreed upon provide that the student securing the highest average in a competitive examination to be held each year in the state, shall earn the scholarship. Plans for passing upon the eligibility of the contestants and for holding the examinations are being framed by a committee of educators in the state. Funds for providing the scholarships are to be raised through popular subscriptions. A state wide campaign for the raising of this money will be launched in Louisiana within a few weeks. The movement as outlined by the members of the club has received the hearty endorsement of many prominent Louisianians. Among the endorsers in the state is Mr. Walter I.. Cohen, collector of customs at the port of New Orleans. He said that the movement is sure to meet the approval of our people, and he has pledged his support whenever needed. We now have forty-nine members in the various departments of Howard Unveirsity, having grown from five in 1912.

The pioneers of this unit of the student body had originally been honorary members of another club organized by foreign students, but as the number of arrivals from British Guiana promised to be more or less continuous it was considered feasible to establish a club as a separate and distinct entity. The South American Club was accordingly instituted, equipped with a constitution, and duly chartered by the body having jurisdiction over student organizations and activities. At its inception the club was quite unpretentious and consisted barely of charter members among whom were, S. Coston Bruyning, A. L. Jordan. Albert K. Eastman, John J. Erskine, S. O’Brien Payne, John O. Cummings and Clinton V. Rodney. During 1022 and the succeeding years, the South American Club has received new members and there is every prospect of the club remaining a permanent institution. The term of president as well as that of the other executive members. is for the school year. The officers for the present year are Albert E. Eastman, president; S. R. Stuart Medas, vice-president; S. O’Brien Payne, secretary; A. P . Charles, correspondence secretary; H. C. Joseph, treasurer, and Theodore A. Austin, chaplain. The club holds its meetings bimonthly, and the agenda includes the discussion of literary topics. B ISON -:% ;- ?.■ '•OTWP £lic Caribbean Club The Caribbean Club was organized by the Students of the University who hail from those lands whose shores are washed by the waters of the Caribbean Sea, for the primary purpose of providing for themselves a homelike social atmosphere at Howard University; and to deal with those problems which are common and peculiar to themselves. The success of this endeavor has again and again been the theme of lavish tribute paid to the club by those who avail themselves of the benefits it affords. The members of the club are always solicitous to maintain the most amicable relations with the rest of that great student body of which they are proud to be a part of. They feel at heart, and have manifested on various occasions, that Howard Spirit which impels all her sons and daughters to uphold her ideals and strive incessantly for the greater glory of our Alma Mater. Club members are active participants in all student activities with outstanding results, and have shouldered the responsibility for a portion of the Medical School Endowment Fund. In addition, the club has rendered valuable assistance to the Registrar in his endeavor to get in touch with the educational machinery of the West Indies, has been instrumental in bringing Mr. Marcus Garvey to explain his program to the student body, and hopes to accomplish other worthy projects. The club has great literary and philanthropic aims which may not materialize immediately, but which are nevertheless worth striving after with might and main. One of these is the establishment of a scholarship fund for the financial assistance of needy and deserving members. It is the earnest desire of the members that, with its steady increasing membership the club will in the not distant future merit the recognition of all. as one of the vital factors of Howard University. £ljc 2)oUmrb diapers As has been the custom since the inauguration of Dramatics at Howard University in 1020, the work ol the Howard players has held its place as one of the most vital parts of the University life. This reputation of these players which is known throughout the country was not accomplished with ease but with unremittent effort and toil. Under the direction of Professor Montgomery Gregory and Doctor A. LeRov Locke the department of Dramatic Arts at Howard is becoming a center for Negro Drama and is inciting the favorable notice of many well known critics. The productions for 1923-21 include: “The Lost Silk Hat,” by Lord Dansanv; “The Beauty and the Jacobin,” by Booth Tarkington; “The Will o’ the Wisp, by Doris Halman; “Wurtzeli Flummery.” by A. A.

Boost The Hill Top, a journal by and for students. Its name is significant, as it was suggested by the words of the Alma Mater, “Reared against the eastern sky, proudly there on Hilltop hi h.’’ The Hill Top has been ranked by many as the greatest student publication ever edited, censored and financed by students at Howard. It has had the rare distinction of being sent to one hundred ninety-seven colleges and universities throughout the country. It has also gone to numerous leagues, Y. M. C. A s and V. W. C. A’s. Alumni, high schools, and foremost Negro, as well as, white newspapers in the country. It is the largest paper ever issued by Negro students, beginning as a bi-monthly journal and successfully ending the year as a unique weekly publication, hoping the student body will see to it that a semi-weekly or even daily newspaper may be flowering on Howard’s campus by May, 1925. The Hill Top during its two quarters’ existence, along with the Student Council has exerted an inestimable influence among the students, faculty and alumni at Howard and among college people throughout the country. The Hill Top has had a very definite policy in regard to anything which affected the students directly or indirectly. It has not hesitated to attack students, faculty, alumni, or non-supporters of students whenever the situation demanded the same. The paper has always attempted to suggest an alternative whenever it attacked an evil. Then, too, the student publication has endeavored to encourage students to take an active part in extra-curricula activities thru its Who’s Who column. This column has featured some of the leading students on the campus. Moreover, this publication has especially sought to develop our potential literary talent by printing short stories, poems, essays, etc., in addition, it has made a strong attempt to bring the professional men and alumni in closer union with the academic students. The staff was made up of some of the best talent on the “Hill.’’ Several of the members were specializing in English, others had had previous experience in news work, some were eager to learn and a few were replaced by other students as th v failed tc function. Nevertheless, especial credit should be given to Miss J. R. Houston, associate editor, for her excellent contributions, also Mr A. Burke, assistant editor. Miss Gillam. as social editor performed her duties very well and consistently to the verv end. Mr. T. J. Anderson, athletic editor, especially interested in his work, had one of the best sections in the publication. Misses B. Chism, N Hubert and L. Crawford ablv fulfilled their positions. And Mr. Gilchrist assisted in a verv effective wav in distributing the paper along with Mr. Stripling. F. H. Robb the Editor-in-chief must be credited with ably guiding The Hill Top to its exceptional height with the cooperation of the majority of staff members, Student Council and student body. jgSGEI9998S!

Formerly the Record was printed four times a year and its contents were merely formal reports of the Secretary. Teasurer, and the various depatments. In the fall of 1018 the Record was made a monthly publication of the University, and has rapid ly come to the front as one of the leading college magazines of the country and has been so designated.

And it is still growing, not only in magnitude. but more especially in its standard as “the greatest group of thinking Negroes in America.’ Alpha Chapter at Howard University is the mother chapter of the fraternity and the first chapter of any fraternity to be established at a Negro institution of learning. This Chapter is endeavoring to set the standard for the fraternity in upholding its four cornerstones of .Manhood, Scholarship. Perseverance and Uplift, as is seen by the prominent place which the members of Alpha Chapter hold in the scholastic and extra-curriculum life of the University. Incidentally, Alpha Chapter will have the honor of entertaining the Thirteenth Grand Conclave of the fraternity here in the Capital of the nation next December.

They were not mistaken, and as a proof there are Phi Beta Sigma men all over the country to-day. A recent movement inaugurated by the Fraternity has been the Douglass Scholarship Fund, three of which scholarships are offered each year to its undergraduates.. Upon the return of Dr. E. P. Davis from his extended tour and studies in Europe. he was presented with a beautiful Silver Loving Cup by the Phi Beta Sigma as an appreciation of the achievements of one of their Honorary Brothers. Hon. .James Weldon Johnson, another of the honorary members was tendered a smoker at the Whitelaw Apartments on one of his visits here at the Capital City during the spring. Here the grave problems of the welfare of the Fraternity were discussed and plans were worked out for its future development. Annual Conventions are held fluring the Christmas holidays. In 1923 the fraternity convened at (he seat of the Kappa Chapter at Meharry Medical College. Nashville. Tennessee. Here three fundamental propositions were designated to committees to be reported at the 1921 convention at the .Mu and Epsilon Chapters of Lincoln and tin University of Pennsylvania, respectively, in Philadelphia. The propositions are: First: To give a thorough study of the Negro Migration. Second: To work out a plan for raising the standards of the Negro Colleges. Third: To give a thorough study of Negro business conditions. The Alpha Chapter at Howard has woven itself into the various activities of University life and maintains a pro rata share of representation in the various organizations which go to make up University life. The home is at .325 T Street.

It is the only Greek let ter Fraternity in any Negro institution for Negro students of the Uw and its response to the demands of this age of specialization is the wel trained man; its membership being limited strictly to those actually en gaged in the study of I he law or those in active practice of the Profession The Fraternity has made rapid strides since organizing in 1914 and is now in its own home at 913 Rhode Island Avenue. N.W. The chap ter has a comfortable “Fraternity House admirably located and very suitable for fraternity life, and the traditions of welcome and hospitality maintained are the by-words of both members and its many visitors. Under the capable leadership of Chief Justice Joseph H. Nelson, of the class of ’21. the activities of the fraternity have been demonstrated in a remarkable manner during this school term. Sixteen new members have been initiated into the mysteries of Tau Delta Sigma, and a program is well under way for the establishment of Chapters elsewhere. Several interesting programs have been arranged and rendered by the program committee, with Mr. Charles E. Washington as chairman, in different churches of the city for Young People's Societies. The committee also has brought to the House, on Literary nights, excellent talent ; notably, Prof. William H. Richards, who appeared on Friday, February 15, in an interesting lecture on the lives of Douglass and Lincoln. With an eloquence, peculiarly his own, and a topic dear to the hearts of his hearers, it was an occasion not soon to be forgotten. Fraternal life as exemplified by Tau Delta Sigma is doing much for its members, hence affiliation therewith is something to be coveted.

At present there are thirty-three chapters. There are chapters in six state universities, eight other large universities, fifteen principal cities, and seven states, stretching across the country from New York to California, and from Minnesota to Atlanta. Georgia. The sorority holds its annual convention during the Christmas holidays. In 1923. the Epsilon-Omega chapter was the hostess to the Boule.

We were glad to return to dear old Howard in the autumn. The first of October found us busily arranging and rearranging our home for the school year. You notice we say “home”; it takes a heap of living in it to make a house a home. And, “Bison, we really have a home. Dear Mrs. Martin, whom you met last year, is with us again. Our happenings have been many. One cold blustery night in November, we decided that we just had to take a trip. We took with us a few “nuns to show them a little of the outside world. Across a seu. up mountains and down valleys we took them, and finally when we realized that the poor things were so cold that they could scarcely walk or talk, we brought them back over the same rough road. But “all is well that ends well”; so they found themselves in the secret places of our sisterhood. “Mother” Martin says, we mustn’t tell you everything. “Bison.” Later that morning Sorors Jessie Atkins, Gladys Tinsley. Talma Brooks and Kd-monia White packed their little hags and were off to “Philly to the game. Gwendolyn was going too, but, well—she spent the holidays in Washington. After Thanksgiving, it was time for real earnest study for the calendar pointed to December 18th; and we later found ourselves keeping late hours just before the examination days. On December 24th, “Mother” Martin heard Martha pulling her trunk across the floor. “What’s all the hustle about, anyhow?” “We’re off to the Convention,” was the answer. Ami off went Soror Martha Jones to the convention. We gained inspiration and new ideas. We feel that we have just begun to do the great work that is before us. Just about here they called the roll: All lm •'hiipli-r--------llownnl University Beta .

We needn't try to give you a picture of it for we cannot. The horse was decorated in scarlet and cream; hearts and arrows hung everywhere. We’ll leave the rest to your imagination. Now we are looking forward to our May Week” Educational Drive. We hope you will be here.

These serious minded girls felt the need of a closer union in fellowship, the maintenance of higher moral standards, stimulation of greater efforts, encouragement and assistance for the advancement of colored women of the Medical sciences. This is the greatest movement undertaken by women of any of the professional schools in America, and should these young ladies be successful in carrying out their aim. the Medical profession will be put on a higher plane, because. “No race can rise higher than its womanhood.” Every year since nineteen hundred and twenty-two this sorority has advanced. Dr. Emily P . Childress of Los Angeles, California, is organizing a Beta chapter there, and this sorority, hopes to organize chapters in every medical school where there are Colored women. During this year we have had the hearty cooperation of able minded women and have been entertained by Doctors Eva R. Board, Hillyer and Brown. Many girls have graduated from it and are now scattered in several states and are progressing in their vocations of life. The Howard Medical School boasts of its young women and hopes that this movement will he the means of inducing more young women to enter the different branches of the medical profession.

The last convention, held with Beta chapter at Morris Brown University. was the biggest and most successful in the history of the organization. A very full program was mapped out for the year, on which appear the following: plans for supporting the N.A.A.C.P.; the launching of a movement for better inter-fraternal relations. A national Sorority Day was set aside, which is to be celebrated annually by all chapters of the organization on the last Saturday in March. “The X-Ray is the official organ of the Sorority and is published qua rterly.

Probably it is the peerless charm of music, for if any group has the gift of song it is this one. However, whatever may have contributed to the attraction in question, good management surely plays a part that can bo played by nothing else. It is here that the organizer and conductor f the Glee Club comes in for a share of the praise that we fain would shower upon the group of singers. Prof. Tibb’s wide reputation in tin? field of music speaks for him to those who have not heard his Glee Club, but in the minds of those who have heard the rich effects of his training brought out in the voices of these men. there is a marked addition to his long standing reputation. i The Glee Club wishes to give special honor to Mr. Ernest T. Hem by whose rich tenor voice has won for himself and the other members of the group the very high esteem of many music lovers. They wish to give special tribute also to Mr. James Ballard Majors, whose baritone voice has no equal among them, and who along n ith Mr. Hemby is largely responsible for the very high esteem in which they are held. They feel also that the success they have had would have been utterly impossible without the aid of a very efficient accompanist, and for this service they wish to heap special honors upon the head of Mr. Bernard Walton. The three men just mentioned are outstanding figures in the minds of practically every audience for which the Glee Club has sung. Each year this group of singers carries out a very full program; their spring tour is their big event. During this school year their local program has taken in many of the churches in Washington, concerts in Baltimore witnessed by large and enthusiastic audiences, and Takoma. Aid., where the president of a sister University pronounced it the best he had ever heard. Their spring tour began April 23, and ended May C. They scheduled concerts in Altoona, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. Pa., Wheeling. Clarksburg and Charlestown, W. Va., Cincinnati, Columbus, and Hamilton, Ohio, and then back to Howard. It goes under its own management and sponsorship. The Glee Club is entitled to n big place in the University life, and it will not have had a fair showing until the University gives to it the same kind of attention and support that it gives to the football team or any other athletic unit.

It is beginning to api ear that such an opinion is without foundation. Archaeological discoveries and anthropological studies in Africa in recent years are demonstrating that from the very beginning of human history until recent times there existed in Negro Africa, cultures and civilizations that were in many respects the equal and in some respects the superior of contemporary civilizations in other sections of the world. It has been revealed, for example, that in ancient Ethiopia a Negro folk built up and maintained a civilization in many wavs equal to and in some respects suoerior to that of ancient Egypt and which was indeed older than the civilizations of Greece and Rome. In West Africa, particularly in Nigeria and the Gold Coast, there have been discovered evidences of the existence of Negro kingdoms and i ji 2 -i BISON empires with material and social cultures which surpassed that of their contemporary states of Teutonic Europe. A little more than a year ago—January 3, 1923, the opening day of the winter quarter—Howard University made history by Introducing into its curriculum courses of study traversing this most interesting field. Experiences of the past year have shown that this effort, though something of an innovation, is nevertheless no indecorous interloper in the field of academic endeavor. Under the direction of Mr. William Leo Hansberry— a graduate, and graduate student in African anthropology and archaeology at Harvard University—the courses on the Negro Civilizations of Ancient Africa have established themselves as fields worthy of the most serious attention and the highest scholastic efforts. So far. three distinct courses have been given in which upwards of six hundred students have been enrolled. The first course is a provisional survey of the part played by Negro peoples in the origin, development, and distribution of the cultures and civilizations of man from the beginning of the Palaeolithic age until the dawn of historic times. The second course aims to give a general acquaintance with the remarkable Negro Civilizations of Ancient Ethiopia as revealed through the discoveries of organizations like the Coxe Expedition working at Areeka and Karanog; the Harvard-Boston Expedition at Kcrma. Napata. and Mcroe; the Liverpool Expedition at Meroe; and the Welcome Expedition at Gebel Moya. The third course is a survey ot political and cultural conditions in the four great Medieval Negro states of the Western Sudan—Ghana, the Mellistine. the Songhay Empire, and Vorubuland—as reflected in African and Arab chronicles and the anthropological and archaeological find in if s of the recent English. French and German investigations in West Africa. In the old and well established fields of academic endeavor, the ancient paramountcy of institutions like Oxford, Cambridge. II iidelberg, and Harvard will no doubt long continue; but in the field of Negro History, Howard by nature can and ought to make itself arbiter of them all.

The rapidly approaching end of my undergraduate college days set me to thinking seriously. My first impulse was to look backward; not to regret that the time had passed, not to regret the way in which it had been spent, but to make a serious comparison and see whether or not the result of my college days compared favorably with my original purpose in coming. I had come with my wagon hitched to a star; my dreams had been fanciful, mad, impossible. I had an ideal of acquiring a vast store of knowledge; I had dreamed of hoarding facts, mere theories; but in this dream I had forgotten to correlate the aim of my college years with some definite aim in life. I had decided to major in the study of English specialize in English. I called it then and feasted on a feeling of absolute certainty that when 1 had finished my course of study, 1 should know at least this one subject well. I was content to feel small and insignificant as a Freshman, and consoled myself with the idea that I should feel bigger as a Sophomore, and bigger still as a Junior, and so on until I should reach my graduation full grown. Here 1 was brought to realize that none of my dreams had come true. .My study of English had done but little more than point out to me the many things to which I must apply myself diligently, if I would know the subject only fairly. Instead of growing bigger each year, as 1 had told myself I should do. 1 had felt smaller and smaller as the time passed on. However, I was not discouraged, nor ready to commit suicide, for contact at college had long ago modified that distorted view of what college should do for me. I was made to feel that after all, whatever my aspirations might be. my education is primarily supposed to prepare me to adjust myself to many and varied kinds of environments. The time had passed swiftly. Four years ago I had sighed “Ah. four long years of this ere I shall be able to call a halt on the task of studying.” I had looked forward all the time, and this was the first time I had played Janus and looked both ways with seriousness. 1 had felt that whatever should be the requirements for graduation, there was ample time in which to meet them. Now that the occasion was drawing closer, yes. very close indeed, I realized that what would be accomplished must be accomplished very soon. “But what is the use of worrying now? I asked myself. I was not worrying exactly, but I was thinking about the outcome of the final examinations. What if there should be a slip somewhere and I, by five-tenths of a unit should miss the opportunity of marching in the procession on Commencement day? I gritted my teeth and resolved that only serious illness or death should come between me and the coveted accomplishment. Qualifying for graduation was not the only thing that gave me concern. nor was it the thing that gave me most concern. I was just conceited enough to believe that under normal conditions. I could make it, and would make it; but this did not mean that under normal conditions I should succeed in life. Life would take me out to work where my efforts would not BISON afflSSBSsaEffl In watched by sympathetic teachers, who would strive to point out my mistakes in each case so that I might avoid making the same ones again. If there were serious errors. I should not be questioned and given a chance to explain just why they occurred. I had already made up my mind, about the beginning of my Junior year, that I would like to write. 1 did not wish to be a journalist, nor do any kind of writing that savored of propaganda as such. I wished to be an artist, feeling that if a Negro should produce a good short story, a good novel, or a good drama—those things in themselves should be a form of propaganda that is just as effective as a thesis on Race Relationships, or Democracy, or Equal Rights, or any similar subject. Indeed I felt that all of these things could be quite cleverly incorporated in the story or play. While musing over what should happen to me out in the world, I pictured myself starting out timidly in the Held of writing. I reveled in the characters I would create, the exciting events I would depict, the beautiful scenes I would paint. The situation then turned its darker side and I remembered that before the success of these things could be determined, I must run the gauntlet of many exacting critics; and regardless of the time, energy, anxiety put into a production, if it did not come lip to the mark set for the acceptable it should be unhesitatingly condemned. Wishing to connect these thoughts with something more pleasing. I began to think of that blissful summer at home. 1 had been gone from there these four years with onlv occasional visits, which never lasted more than a week. Even here a dark side presented itself. Many things would happen that would tend to make me feel satisfied with the place I had reached. I would be told that there is no need for further advancement. The lack of library facilities, and other educational mediums, the low intellectual status of the majority .if the people—all these things would combine to make my home town just the place where I could not afford to spend the first few years of my career. In my course of reasoning then, it naturally followed that I must seek a new environment, where I could be able lo depend on nothing to carry me through but God and the calibre of work I am able to do. Even this, I finally brought mvself to believe, could be a very fortunate circumstance. No other condition could be such a good incentive to real hard work, no other condition could be as valuable in making each mistake I make, each adverse criticism I receive, stepping stones to the desired goal. Real service and hard work must of necessity be my choice. Plenty of courage to attack the same thing again if necessary, when once I had apparently failed, must be included in my equipment. Moral integrity and intellectual efficiency must be my constant companions from the bottom of life’s ladder to its topmost round. I must accept the theory that; “Heaven is not reached by a single bound. But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies; And mount to its summit round by round.” 1921 BISON SeiSJSra9Sig S £@ Sl'M'IAI. 1 U HiltAM 11 22 H 2 � tkl Si- Student 'ntniell Iti-ecpt ion oh. 2 Sin-ini in Miner 11.ill OH, LV.

Who knows what may happen? Dean Holmes, alter careful consideration, appointed himself a committee of three to determine the greatest athlete to have graced our fair campus. The committee was impartial in every respect and after due deliberation unanimously decided that a young chap by the name of Oliver Dwight Wendel Holmes was alone deserving of that high honor. Nothing but a saint could violate the smoking ordinance of Howard University and get away with it. isn’t that true Prof. Brady? Prof. Cooper, why not take Socrates' advice and be yourself? It isn’t necessary to smoke a pipe two sizes too large to 1jc identified with the Chemistry Department. Prof. Schuh is one of the most versatile men on the faculty. He has taught botany, is teaching geology' and gives evidence of being one of the best lawyers on the college stalT. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones in the day time. For instance Dean Miller in referring to other people from South Carolina, seems to forget that that is the place where he first saw a hen house. It thundered during a snow storm and manv arc wondering at the more or less unusual phenomenon and its cause. Don't look far. On that day Prof. Pochard made his eight o’clock class just 5 minutes late. No wonder the fellows are so shy of that physics course. It is so hot it singed one instructor’s hair, and burned another’s completely off. 1904 BISON You would think that Chemistry One is a dangerous course the way the hydrogen explodes, the atoms shoot off and one thing and another but the fellows don’t seem to mind it. Beauty must have the beasts under perfect control. The history Prof, was sneaking of superstition and said it was bad luck for a black cat to cross one’s path. Hoffman said that wasn’t nothing to bras al out. Down in South Carolina it was had luck for a black man to hit a white mule. Jeanette Whitaker broke down and confessed that she might not be so much in the crowd but when she gets you alone—oh boy. See Mr. Goff the fresh Medic for references. Many of the old landmarks will disappear with the graduation of this class. Old Howard won’t look like she used to with Joe Moore gone. That romance of Elmua Macintyre and Freddie French looks like Much Ado About Nothing more than it does a Mid-Summer’s Night Dream. Evelyn Mance is so light and airy she should he glad that her head is thick and solid. Something had to hold her down. Bill Edelin would make a first class officer if he were a little taller. It’s a shame his head is so close to the ground. Dewey Jackson is one of the proudest men in the class; he always has his head up in the air. It must he cloudy so high up. Elizabeth Parr doesn’t care who knows she likes Gathings. He is in right kissing height, and it is seldom they match up so well. Theo. Spaulding, you shouldn’t be so conceited after all these years. Ain’t you ashamed? Not a steady girl during your entire stay. When Thelma Duncan arrived on the campus she said it looked so small she had to go over on Georgia Ave. to change her mind, but that was before she attended one of these old class meetings. R. D. Moore, the great secret has been discovered. That R. D. means real dumb. 8B8 R0HBSB6fiB899B5IB5£ft j 2 4 B I S O N Cheer up fellows it can’t be so hard to get in the Medical School, Pauline Parker’s rippling Brooks did it. Irene Harris should make a wonderful Baseball pitcher. She has a neat curve, great form, perfect control and a wind-up that is patented. Dot Ctillam, the girl with such a deer face, sighed for her peeny pill-pusher in vain so she took the next best thing and got the Jewish chemist, Tulane, who thought he could stop his watch to save time. This class has seen the passing of a great landmark of dear old Howard—the old grandstand. Tho it was old and dilapidated, many a beautiful romance has blossomed forth there; many an engagement had its start there, even ii it did not end up so well. Even Fanny Smith, the short vamp of the class, still talks of her Minnie now up in the wilds of Penn State. Many of us fail to find ourselves until we have left our Alma Mater behind. However “Slam” Kennedy and Dr. Scott have about agreed that journalism is the field for Howard. After reading some of “Slam's’ letters of protest on the average of one a day—Dr. Scott was very emphatic in his opinion. It has been observed that men of great genius have unusually large feet. If this he true Alpheus Hunton should have graduated in two years instead of three. Arthur Burke certainly must have missed Bob Marne when Bob went up to New England to visit the elms ol fair Harvard. The change ditl Bob good however for he picked up weight and was thus able to follow Frances Walker around a longer time between meals. After looking at the long list of discarded lovers we wonder if there be anyone left capable of filling tin slippers of the College Widow,” Miss Virginia Ruffin. Baud. When Evelyn Lewis went down to the Medical School she took such a prominent part in her class the good Dean allotted her two seats. SS£fB5ja.'i3®ajgSSa-' J 0 2 1 BISON V'lffM When Rucker became cheer-leader he demonstrated without a doubt that a bow-legged man can be strong and sturdy but that grace was something foreign to his make-up. After specializing in Chemistry Throe for two years “Country” Townes took the fifty thousand text books and went in for engineering. It has always been a puzzle to account for that dainty walk of Nelson's. Perhaps that is due to the esthetic impulse too. You’ve got to blame it on something Insides his feet. Ethel Jones should make a wonderful school teacher; glasses have made her look so intelligent for a change. EUEiSSf3Bgg ?.STBB%E£E 1 9 'J 4 BISON t LKl JH£i3Sa«5J On Frivolity Day the grand reversion to type took place. Joe “Bumpsky” Dodson came out as a Georgetown bootlegger; Elbert Beard looked what he is to be—a .iackleg preacher. All the maidens who had been complimented on the turn of their ankle came out as little girls and some of the fellows began to wonder about that wonderful love. Minnie Carwin looked very nice as a poroed Indian maid. Norborne Bacchus is our most consistent athlete, lie went out for every sport and never played in a game. He was almost as good as Downing, the baseball pitcher, who never gave a hit. He walked the men. Speaking of athletes reminds us of Joice who went out for the football team and wanted to know where the bases were. On Frivolity Day Ramey washed his ears, came up on the campus, and no one knew him. Unwood being a pretty boy with nice hair couldn’t keep Martha. As Priscilla said to Miles; you got to know something. See Mel Green. Old fires still burn. At the breakdown and struggle at Spaulding Casino, Cliff Clarkson and Ellen Maury were together so much they looked like twins. Roberta Yancy went to New York for a change but she didn’t make any gains so she came back to look over our Medical School once more. 19 2 4 BISON . r m—r ri—nninaniinrrfmfmnrninr Who had no intention ot giving n.m tnp air She heaved a sigh and looked up in I� l iss T'vvas plain to lie m-n shr wanted a kiss.

I had read his “Choice of a Profession’ and his “Out of the House of Bondage” and had long ago pictured in my mind the sort of person 1 should like to find him. I sauntered into his office and broke into a trot. “Good morning Dean.” 1 finally managed to get it out. “Well, what can 1 do for you?” “I- -er - “Where did you come from, the tobacco fields of Connecticut or the ranches of Texas?” “Neither, Dean. 1 came from the Death Valley region.” “And you thought that you would get away before you died also.

The instructor was clad in the styles of ’7(1 with one or two additional shawls. The class was as quiet as could be; the hands were clasped above the breasts, all eyes were turned Heavenward, and though the whisper was low, I caught these words; “Notre Pere oui est aux cieux. etc. Feeling that I had made a terrible violation of some of Howard’s cherished customs ami disturbed an hour of devotions, I eased myself out of the room. I told mv experience to another student whom 1 met in the hall. He laughed until ho shook.

They are on big motors that pull railway trains; and on tiny motors that make hard housework easy. By such tools electricity dispels the dark and lifts heavy burdens from human shoulders.

It is the result of long and tedious hours, coupled with the uneasiness and anxiety that usually goes along with experimenting on a very important undertaking. We have tried to make this volume a valuable and authentic record which shall serve not only as a souvenir of college days for the members of the Class of '24 but also as a source of information to all interested in Howard. Our work upon it is now finished; we come out of this experience much wiser than when we entered. We invite the confidence of the Class of 25 if they wish information on the work of building the annual. —The Bison Staff I ll 1 g 1 Ej P I i .■I 4 1 1 % S SSSSS BSSSISBSSSBWSSISEW BSSSSSR 19 2-1 BISON
