zMmmm Dedication TO that spirit of sacrifice, bom in the crucible of need and nourished in the dawn of a new day. personified most vividly in those members of the Negro race who gave as much as one thousand dollars each to the Medical Endowment Fund, this volume is dedicated. 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.
