HR Staff of the 1925 BISON has been motivated in its work by a great incentive: to preserve in elegant form an accurate record of Howard University, especially as this record has been influenced and shaped on account of the sojourn within these walls of the graduating classes of 1925 We know full well that errors creep in where perfections fear to tread. Our efforts form hut a milestone on the highway to a Greater Howard of the future. As we join hands with those who have gone from here before, we lling to those who follow us a challenge to profit by our mistakes and to produce a more perfect record of our Alma Mater!

BISON = = 192S = Sketch of {he University «♦ 3WARD UNIVERSI’I V had its inception in a Prayer Meeting November. 186b. and it was founded by General O. O Howard lor tlx purpose of liberating the mind of youths from ignorance and superstition, and of developing in them the physical and moral strength necessaiy for a useful life. With this idea in mind. Rev Benjamin A. Morris proposed tlx foundation of an institution of learning to tlx little group assembled for prayer. He felt that the desired results could be best accomplished by placing trained men in the churches: therefore, he suggested that the proposed institution take the form of a School of Theology This idea was not carried out. but a teachers' training school was first established, and finally, the doors were opened to all students, regardless of race or color Since this time Howard has held a unique place in American Education, for it has continued its liberal policy, and even today any man or woman having the required academic work and a reasonable recommendation is given an opportunity to prove his worth at 1 loward. I his democratic policy is evident in the Act of Incorporation, granted March 2. 1867. Section 1 of tin Act reads as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United Stales in Congress assembled that there be established, and is hereby established, in the District of Columbia a University for ihc Education of youth in the liberal arts and sciences, under the name, style and title of ’The Howard University. “ Section 4 of the Act places the government of the University in the hands of a Board of Trustees This prevents outside interference, and leaves the Board free to direct the policies of the University. This freedom has meant much to Howard: without it. the institution could never have attained the position it now occupies. Because of the predominance of Negro students, many leaders would have Howard an industrial institution, not the present intellectual University on the same plane as Harvard. Yale and other leading American colleges. The Board of Trustees, however, taking advantage of the freedom I'uyr 15 1925 BISON H. V. given them, and realizing ibe great benefits which would result from making Howard such an institution gradually added to the normal department the following schools: Medicine. Law. Theology. Dentistry. Pharmacy. Music. Ilducation. Liberal Arts. Applied Science. Public Health and Hygiene, and Commerce and f inance. In the organization of the School of Commerce ami Finance. George William Cook, now Dean of the School, played an important part. Dean Cook has been at Howard iO years, and has served the University in many capacities. Under his guidance and influence this School is rapidly becoming one of the most important in the University. The years of the greai war marked an epoch ir. the life and development of Howard University By virtue of her position at the Capital and her relationship to the Government. Howard has always claimed, and to a great extent enjoyed, tlx- acknowledged position of leadership among the schools for the higher education of the Negro. The war gave cause and opportunity, however, for definitely fixing that role and for material progress, in reputation and influence. as a national institution. In the spring of 1017 Howard became the center of the campaign for officer training facilities for colored men. and as a Howard in mi Old Days I’mji 16 H. U. BISON 1925 i% - y.— : — —)t - =K - —H i - iC= - ;t j result of the effort, the Seventeenth Provisional I raining Camp was established at Des Moines, from which six hundred and fifty-nine men ninety-five of them Howard Alumni—were commissioned for service in the National Army Howard University also organized the first colored unit of the National Army Training Detachment, which gave technical training in radio-telegraphy, carpentry and motor mechanics I ator. through similar initiative on the part of the University, in the summer of 1918 there was secured from the authorities of the War Department an enlargement of plan by which a special instruction camp was held at Howard for four hundred and fifty-seven representatives from seventy three of the colored schools and colleges From this instruction camp— conducted entirely by colored officers —three hundred and twenty qualified military instructors were graduated September 14. 1918 forty-seven of them being faculty representatives from the several schools. In this way the Student Army Training Corps facilities were open to the colored colleges, so that Howard University was the parent unit of the formally organized units as well as the informal military instruction so widely organized in our schools Until the demobilization of the corps in December. 1918. the University main tained very creditably both branches—the vocational and the collegiate enrolling eight hundred and nine men: and immediately after the dissolution of the S A T C.. an active R O 7 C. unit was organized This has since been enlarged and perpetuated through a ruling making physical and military training cumpulsory for male students of the University. On June 4. 1918. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee was unanimously elected President of the University. One of his first acts was the abolition of the secondary school and normal schools. This was a bold step and met with much opposition. but it proved beneficial and the University continued its growth. Dr. Durkee has worked unceasingly for the good of Howard. With the hearty co-operation of the Trustees and Faculty, he has dared make changes and additions which to the public often seemed not only radical, but impossible. 1 he undergraduate work was divided into Junior and Senior College and the Senior College was subdivided into the various schools. Additions were made to the official staff, and offices with modern equipment were established. The semester system gave place to the quarter system, and in 192 a fourth quarter was added, begining a summer session which offers great opportunity to teachers and students who are unable to attend the regular sessions In l( 21 Evening Classes were established with an enrollment of forty-six. This has now been increased to about three hundred. In 1922 Miss Lucy D. Slowe. one of the leading women of the race, was elected Dean of Women, and her experiments in self-government have done much to establish a high code of honor among the women. Fngt I? 1925 B I S O S v H. U. In addition to the changes in the curriculum and organization of the University, many improvements in the buildings and grounds have been effected. Among these were the erection of a greenhouse at a cost of $8,000. and the new Dining Hall at a cost of $201,000. Attractive flower beds and well Kept lawns add to the beauty of the campus. The planting of trees the reclaiming of the lands overlooking the reservoir, the improvement of the lighting and heating systems and the laying of concrete walks leading to the various buildings are some of the recent improvements effected on the campus. Many of these changes were made during the year 1922-23. at which time the appropriation for improvement of grounds was raised to $4 2,300. The financial side of the University has attained a growth similar to that of the various departments Except for the students in the School of Medicine, no charge was made lor tuition until 1904. In that year a tuition fee of $10 was required In 1924 the tuition was raised from S23 to S33 jxrr quarter. During the administration of President Patton—1876-1887—Congress appro priated SI0.000 toward the current expenses of the University This appropriation was gradually increased so that by the fiscal year ending July 1 1924. the appropriation was $363,000 The campaign for the medical endowment of $300,000 proved a great success. Generous pledges were made and many of them have already been paid The friends of Howard rallied to her side, and it is believed that the payments will continue to be made just as promptly as were the pledges. On March 2. 1923. a bill passed both Houses of Congress authorizing the appropriation of $370 000 for a new medical building It is interesting to note that this appropriation was made on Charter Day. while Faculty. Alumni and students joined in the celebration of the fifth-eighth anniversary of the foundation of Howard. Neither is the spiritual life of the students neglected at Howard. Although the University applies its liberal policy to religion, it is distinctly a Christian institution. It is not aided by any denomination, nor is jny denominational preference shown toward members of the Faculty or student body. Howard i« rather Pan-denominational. for all sects and creeds are represented Even the School of Religion is non sectarian and the student graduating therefrom is so trained that he may enter the church of his choice. Active branches of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. V C. A are also vital forces on the campus. The weekly prayer meetings, vesper services and daily chapel exercises give the students additional opportunity for spiritual development and worship The campaign for S300.000 for the erection of a School ol Religion Building is being pushed steadily ahead, and it is hoped that the successful putting over of this campaign will place the School of Religion in its rightful place in the spiritual life of the University. . u. n i s o n 1925 = = ’I hroughout its fifty-eight years of development Howard University ha kept the faith: it has strived at all times to live up to the ideals of its founders It has grown, and is still growing, financially, intellectually and spiritually, and it offers to the youth of the world all the advantages in its possession. Students are taking advantage of these opportunities, and each year there is an enormous increase in the numbers who register in the various schools. Its Alumni are doing splendid work all over the world, and Howard is rapidly becoming the Mecca of education for the Negro. Page 19 1925 i' if BISON = e= H. U. DR.

Gregory. 72. President. The next meeting appears to have been held June 15. 1877, with Mr Gregory presiding. I his was a called meeting, the object of which was to admit members of the graduating class of fi and to appoint a committee to wait upon the Faculty and inform them of a proposed triennial meeting of the Alumni Association Friday evening. June 18. 1877 provided there were no Faculty objections. The said meeting was held at 6 o’clock on June 18. in University Building All graduates resid ing in and about the City of Washington were present, with Mr. Gregory presiding. At this triennial meeting, according to the minutes, in addition to the reading of the minutes, there was read the report of the Committee on Resolutions upon the death of Arthur C. O Hear. The election of officers took place. H. R. Otcy being elected President and F J Shadd. Secretary. The next meeting recorded was that of May 14. 1881. which was a called meeting, with R I.. Mitchell presiding as President. The principal business of this meeting was the report of the committee entrusted with the responsibility of raising $48 for the purpose of publishing the triennial address of President James M Gregory before the College Alumni on the 28th of May. 1880. The next annual meeting took place on June 4. 1881. which meeting was held in Room 14 University Building, with Mr Mcri weather presiding in the absence of the President. Upon motion of George W Cook, a collection was taken to cover the deficit of the printing bill occasioned by the printing of Mr Gregory's triennial address on the 28th of May. 1880 On motion, a committee of five was appointed to look after the consitution. and in case they could not find it. to draw up one and present it at the next annual meeting. The next annual meeting of the Alumni was called June 17. 1882. with President Charles H. Combs. 79. presiding. At this meeting George W Cook. '81. was elected Secretary pro-tern. The annual election or officers then took place, with the following results: Wiley Lane. President George W. Cook. Secretary. On motion of Dr. F. J. Shadd. it was decided to raise a fund of SI.000. the interest of which was to be used as a scholarship in the College Department Up to this time the Alumni Association was restricted to the College Department, but on October 21. 1882. a special meeting was called, at which Mr Gregory stated the object, namely, to submit resolutions in favor of consolidating the several Alumni Associations in the University. On motion of George W. Cook, the matter was referred to a committee, and on November 10. 1882. a meeting was called to order by President Wiley I ane. The object of the meeting was to consider the report of the Committee on the Consolidation of the several Alumni Associations. The chairman of the committee. Mr Gregory, stated that there had been no meeting of the committee. He then read and explained a paper on the subject and asked that it be substituted as a report of the committee. After some discussion, by motion, the paper was received as the report of the committee, The paper was then signed by each member of the committee A copy of this significant document follows: Paf ' 26 H. V. JilSON 192 5 — ■ —n 3t =vt iC=- . C jf= .C WHEREAS questions often arise affecting the interest of the University, hence to a greater or less degree the welfare of each department questions in which the graduates as a whole are concerned: and WHEREAS while wc are not prepared to recommend that the several associations in the different departments be abolished, we believe that in cases where general interests are involved greater efficiency and harmony can be secured in one organization composed of the graduates of all the departments than can be secured by individual action on the part of the separate organizations: therefore, be it Resolved. That the Associations of the Theological, l aw. Medical and Normal Departments be requested to consider the feasibility of forming such Association as here suggested, and if they are of like opinion with us—the College Alumni—they severally appoint two of their number who. with a similar number designated by us. shall consitute a committee to mature and present a plan of permanent organization to joint meeting of the Association herein specified.'' At the meeting of .June 2. 1883. Mr. L. O Posey was elected President. At the meeting of May 31. 1884. Mr R. T. Moss was elected President Prof. William H. Richards succeeded Mr. Milton Holland as President of the Alumni Association, serving for a period of six consecutive years in a futile effort to rally our Alumni to a sense of interest and responsibility toward our Alma Mater. Succeeding Professor Richards. Dean Kelly Miller served as President for a period of three years. Under his administration the project for an Alumni gymnasium was launched. Following Dean Miller. Dean Dwight O. W Holmes served as President for a period of four years. During his term of office there were some marked evidences of progress on the part of the Association, notable among which were the rallying of the interest in the gymnasium project, which interest had lagged since its inauguration some years previous by Dean Miller, and at the great meeting of our Alumni held at the Metropolitan Methodist Church. President Taft was the speaker. Shelby .1 Davidson succeeded Dean Holmes, putting forth a most energetic effort on behalf of the proposed Alumni gymnasium fund A statement of President Davidson quoted in the 1924 Bison is so pertinent that it is well worthy of repetition: 'What can we point to as our accomplished effort for our Alma Mater' The Alumni as such are behind those of other institutions in point of loyalty and tangible results of efforts put forth tor our Alma Mater. Our confidence in Howard University men and women warrants 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 ' As a result of this effort for an Alumni gymnasum. S 3.600 3 3 (including accrued interest), was raised on a quota of S23.000 Though incomplete tlx? fund has been reserved and was voted by the Executive Committee July 26. 1924. to be applied to equipment in the new' gymnasium now in course of erection. It is hoped that that department of the Paye 27 J925 H. U. B I S O X gymnasium so equipped will bear everlasting tribute to the loyalty ot those who responded to that early Alumni appeal. It remained for the Medical Endowment of 1( 23 to prove the true loyalty of our Alumni. Emory B Smith succeeded Mr. Davidson as President of the Alumni Association, and although his administration lasted but one year, he inaugurated the movement which has resulted in our Alumni '1 rustees. During his administration he made a tour of IS.000 miles, visiting Alumni from coast to coast and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. In the spring of 19 I 9 Isaac H Nutter was elected President of the Association and carried on the effort tor Alumni Trustee which resulted in the proposal and election ot Attv Thomas Walker to the Board of Trustees as the choice of our Alumni. In the spring of 1924 Dr. Sara W Brown, through nomination of the Alumni was the first woman to be elected a member of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Nutter served as President of the Association until the spring ot lQ2 3. when V Justin Carter was elected President in a memorable all night session of the General Alumni Association In June of the following year Mr. Carter succeeding himselt immediately launched upon a progressive program for the Association which is destined to bring our Alumni, as an organized body, up to modern standards. I here have been two notable achievements in recent work among our Alumni, namely, the subscription of over $100,000 to the Medical Endowment Lund which was inaugurated in 1923. and the establishment of the office of Alumni and f ield Secretary, with Emory B. Smith designated by the Board of Trustees for this most important task. The work of the Alumni Office has been to compile records of our graduates, to represent the interest of the Alumni at the University, to visit the Alumni on behalf of the University and to edit The Howard Alumnus, a publication modeled after the best alumni magazines of the country, in spite of the limited resources. The standards of the Alumni Office and publication are both determined by the Association of Alumni Secretaries and Alumni Magazines, of which Mr Smith and the Alumnus are both members. Plans arc on foot for an extensive campaign of Alumni organization that bid fair to reach every graduate of the University, and through which every alumnus may have due representation. A notable accomplishment of the Alumni Office has been that of Charter Day Dinners, with the local Alumni and members of the Faculty entertaining the Senior classes, and graduates throughout the country observing Charter Day either in mass or as individuals, at which time they indulge in reminiscences of college days, with a pledge of renewed allegiance to their Alma Mater Paw $8 1925 BISON H.

Not only is Dean Cook still on the list of active professors, but he is also Dean of the School of Commerce and Finance He is an integral part in the history and traditions of Howard, and is genuinely loved for his amiability, generous gifts to the University, and wide-awake interest in the Greater Howard.''

BISON 1925 Sigma Epsilon Graduate Society 1 the Autumn quarter of tbe year 1924 Howard found seven of her ‘Loyal Sons.' having gained their Bachelor's degrees, returning to their Alma Mater to study in various and special fields of learning. These seven students entered the Graduate School as candidates for the Master s Degree With these came a graduate student from Our Sister Institution Wilbcrforce which number to eight members of the Graduate School Never before had there been such an aggregation of candidates for this degree, although they were pursuing different subjects. An idea came to Mr Rimer C Bin ford. B.S.. Fellow in Botany, to instigate the organization of a Graduate Students' Society The idea was well taken and in October. 1924. an organization was formed. The purpose of the organization is to foster union among all members of the Graduate School who arc candidates for the Master's degree. By various lectures from the members and from different members of the faculty the find ings in various fields of research are brought before the body and discussed I his oftimes aids a fellow-student in his particular field of study. When the purpose was made known, a name was chosen or was rather submitted by Dr R P Davis, Ph D This name was accepted and adopted by the organization. Sigma Epsilon means (Sunedria lixitasttke. Greek) Society devoted to research. The lectures are always open to members of the Senior class, and it is hoped that the organization will become permanent and continuous in later years. The emblem of the society is very filling. It is a pin in the shape of an open book with raised leaves with engraved Greek symbols Sigma on one page and Epsilon on the other The officers and members of Sigma Epsilon for the year I 924-2 5 are: Frank Williams.

A One-Act Drama in Pour Scenes Scent I The Lnfants Enter was a fine morning in October. Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred anil twenty-one. when the incoming Freshmen shyly took their places in the Chapel. It was true that they all felt a bit lost and out of place, but iust the same they were there llx're in the school of their dreams! Had not they envied their older brothers and friends who spoke so proudly of How they not boasted of their future expected prowess on the ' Hill ? The first classes were very large- the whole Freshman Class contained over two hundred pupils- but somehow a great deal of knowledge was imbibed, and the Class of 2S sailed along famously The Graduating Class that year was a splendid example of school spirit, and the members passed it on to the lower classes. It can still be remembered how the sermon Above All Things. Develop Your School Spirit.' was expounded over and over again to the Freshman Class by the President of the Student Council. Mr I oobv. One of the biggest events of that year was the Freshman-Sophomore Pag 6? CLASS OP •25 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM � 921 1925 BISON H. U. =?f= Debate in which we were triumphant. Joseph Alexander received the cup as best individual speaker. Another important event of that year was the splendid football team which easily played the Sophomore Class to the melody of a 14-0 score. Of course, little could be done by the ' Froshs.' for the mainstay of school activities lay with the Juniors and Seniors. Yet whatever was constructive was enthusiastically championed by the Freshman Class. PRESIDENTS Autumn Winter Spring F. Lhf Terry Joseph L. Alexander Wendell P. Gladden Scene II—Blare of Trumpets'. Enter the Almost Grown-ups The lollowmg year the same students returned, a little more grown up. but still just boys and girls. With what contempt the Sophomores looked down from their dizzy heights upon the meek and lowly Freshmen! They hazed a few of the members of the Freshman Class and then let them promptly alone well of course, it was all in the game, so after losing the Freshman-Sophomore Debate the balloon expansion of the cranium slowly began to shrink back to its normal size. During this year a number of our men made the Varsity Squad These members of the famous Freshman Squad kept up their reputation previously established. During the first quarter a drive was fostered for subscriptions for the erection of a new Medical School Building The Class of ' 25 held the honor of having subscribed the largest amount of money of anv college class.

TO Producer—Stage should be more seriously set. Orchestra should play calm, gentle music. | Two years have passed—two years not to be forgotten. The Class of ‘25—or the survivors came to the conclusion that life in the third year demanded deeper concentration and a more serious outlook on studies. Consequently. it began little by little to put away childish things, and. unconscious of the process, donned the habit of a Junior. The Junior-Senior Prom was given on May 10th with a happy crowd. Everything came out well, but all agreed that the biggest social event in our career was our Sophomore Dance. The Dramatic Club was very successful that year and some of the members of '25 took an active part therein Among these were F.arline Harper. Anita Turpeau. Horace Scott and Peter Helm At Commencement the following members of 25 were announced as winners of scholarships in the following subjects Julia Bailey French Rosetta Nolan Mathematics Ruth C Brinkley Accountancy Amelia L.

The long-waiced-for event had come, and tlx Freshman of four years ago had seen the realization of all his dreams! Beat the cymbals and sound the harps, for the princes and princesses have come into their own! The first official affair of the Seniors was tlx election of the BlSON Staff. These members plunged into the work of the publication, and before they left for vacation the plans for the 1925 BlSON were tentatively made. This event was followed by the election of the members of the Hilltop Staff T. J. Anderson was elected Editor-in-Chicf. and Anita Turpeau. Associate Editor. Upon the resignation of Mr. Anderson, because of other work in which he was engaged. Miss Turpeau became Editor-in-Chicf. Another event in the life of the Dignified Seniors was the organization of Tail Sigma, a club for Senior girls. This organization for intellectual and social purposes is becoming influential on the campus, and promises in a few years to become a cherished tradition in the life of Howard women. During the winter quarter a “Get together was held in Miner Hall. The purpose of this meeting was to create more spirit for dear old Howard. At this time the Class of 25 elected Hilda Davis as its Alumnae Secretary. “Twenty-five cherishes the honor of being the first class on the 'Hill to elect a permanent Alumnae Secretary while yet among the undergraduates. This brings us up to the last crowning event of the life of the Class of '25— the Prom and the Banquet. They mean a triumph over the work of the whole four years, and to many they are two of the biggest social affairs of a lifetime. Let come what will: memory is the sole conqueror of hopelessness and despair. Then Commencement Week, with all of its joys and sorrows; finally, the parting adieu. And in after years, when other classes have filled the place of '25 as Seniors, may the Class of ‘25 have the opportunity to hold other “Get-togethers and to go over the events in this history as the happy past of Unresponsibilities PRESIDENTS Autumn Winter Spring William D.

(Seal) Witnesses: Dfan Slowi-Dlan Parks Page 73 The Senior College Propkec}) Hi: sun was shining brightly on a fine June morning. I he birds were twittering gaily. All the world seemed to be filled with joy and expectation. What was the matter? I rose, and as I sat before my dressing table I wondered what was wrong with me. Why was I up at five-thirty, when my rising hour was generally fifteen minutes before breakfast ’ I paused in my task of arranging my hair and thought. Why. this is Commencement Day! On this day we will take our first step into the world. We have come to the parting of the ways. Friends of four years will part, many never to meet again! As 1 gazed into my mirror I murmured to myself. 'What does the future hold for us?” How 1 wished that I knew what the members of the Class of '25 would be ten years from now' Perhaps I went to sleep. I do not know but as I mused my mirror suddenly became translucent, a brilliant light blinded me When my eyes had become assustoined to the light I noticed that a great highway lay before me. and upon the sign post I read: Life's Highway.” and the arrow pointed into infinity. I heard a voice at my side saying. ‘Have your wish.' and 1 found myself on the lane. Two figures were approaching. As they came near 1 recognized the District Civil Engineer. Mr James Robinson, and his wife. Charity—our own Charity Nance. Though their devotion to each other was apparent, they were still fussing. They passed on. For a moment the light grew dim When its brilliance was restored a schoolhouse was in sight. A prim little teacher, wearing horn rimmed spectacles. sat behind the desk With a look she silenced the group of children who were whispering among themselves Who was the teacher? Alice Bowles, of course. The light flickered again. This time I found myself in Washington, the Capital of the Nation. I was in a session of Congress. The Speaker of the House rose and with his mallet demanded order His face was strongly familiar: it wjs Glenn Carrington. The lights dimmed and flashed. A great steel building loomed in front of me Over the door was the sign: Laboratories of Green W Mack ' I entered and. spying a door marked Directors.' 1 peeped in Behind the desk sat the senior member—Dr. Elbert Mack and nearby the junior member Prof. James Green. Both were dressed in uniforms of the United States Army I he two officers, when not on duty, spent their furloughs in their laboratories. I hey were fortunate in having a very competent manager who was able to carrv on the business in the absence of the directors I went into the manager's office. There sat Lancess McKnight. I stole a glance at something he was writing, thinking that it was a formula. Perhaps it was, but it was addressed Dear Melva. ' I he scene changed, and the skyscrapers of New York appeared. Everywhere people were hustling Newsboys wer calling ' Read About tin Big Stock Exchange' It was Wall Street, a handsome car drove up to the curb H. U. H I S 0 Ar 192S from it stepped a woman clad in neatly tailored clothes With a brisk walk she hurried into the building. After I had recovered from astonishment. I called out ‘Isic!” but she had gone on. It was Isabelle Washington—a Wall Street financier I looked upon the directory hanging in the lobby of this great office building My eyes fell upon this notice: O. G. Gist, Certified Public Accountant. Sixth Moor When the lights grew bright again I was on the Hast Side of New York Before I had gone very far I passed a Salvation Army Station. There were Jews. Italians. Greeks. Negroes and American Whites all about. To this conglomerate crowd a woman was speaking As she forcefully set forth her views of rigbr living. I recognized her as Anita Turpcau. Here she was leading masses and was shaping the destinies of many of them. The light flashed again and the Metropolitan Opera Mouse appeared. Many little electric lights were blazing forth the names of the favorites who had taken the world by storm The great lyric soprano. Helen Hartwell, bad the title role in La Traviata. With her appeared the famous tenor. Ralph Banks. Farther down Broadway I noticed a theatre before the door of which a big crowd surged. I bis was the initial performance of a play written by the well known playwright. Myrtle C Henry. The main character was an actress who had won the fame of Mary Pickford in playing child roles The name was one which I had heard before. It was dear little Earlyne Harper, who long before had starred with the Howard Players in “The Servant in the House. ' To my surprise, she was no longer Miss Harper. Before the curtain rose I looked about the theatre. Into one of the boxes came a tall, slender woman dressed in beautiful clothes. She drew her coat about her as she sat down in haughty pride. She looked down upon the crowd beneath her. It was Lcronia Badbam. endeavoring to live up to her reputation of being the best-dressed in her group Into the same box came a blithe young woman on her husband's arm She was not far behind Miss Badbam in her beautiful attire. I his proved to be Velma Young, who bad married her “Spider, who had now passed from Freshman “Dent days and ways to those of a prosperous dental surgeon. Presently a tall, dignified woman, dressed in a rich but sombre gown, glided in. The others rose at her approach. Pearl Johnson had not been robbed of her grace and dignity by ten years. Another box was occupied by the guests of the former Vietta Williard. who was now the wife of a prominent doctor, and was entertaining a group of young debutantes. ' Soon there was loud applause, though the play had not begun. In a box on the other side of the theatre stood the great matinee idol, smiling and bowing in acknowledgment of the ovation he had just received. It was Freddie French—a second John Barrymore. The orchestra entered and commenced to play an overture. There was something about the leader which made me think that I had seen him before. Careful scrutiny revealed that it was Joe Thomas, once the leader of the “Howard Collegiates Of course Narcotic was a member of the orchestra. The scene shifted and I found myself on the campus of Howard University. How changed it was. I made my way to the President's office, and was ushered into his presence. Somehow I had no idea who the president was. imagine my surprise when John Oscar Cummings. Ph.D.. greeted me. 1 visited Pmjc 76 192S B 1 S 0 N H. U. many of the classrooms. In one of the rooms I saw Estelle Brown rattling off French to a group of disinterested students. Ten years had failed to slow down “Stclle’s acceleration of speech; if anything, it had increased. In the absence of the Public Speaking Professor. Gladys Peters was holding those classes. I ler love for gossip and her ability in talking had in no way diminished. Dean Pratt, now retired, had yielded his place as Dean of the School of Religion to Peter Helm. At the chapel hour I recognized Susie Brown. Nellie Myles. Rosetta Nolan. Florence Harlec and Arthur Brady among the faculty who sat on the rostrum. I was surprised and delighted to meet an old classmate of mine who had held the poisition as Dean of Women. It was Lucile Brown. She had felt the dignity of her office to the extent that she had let her hair grow out. The Department of Journalism had been instituted in Howard, and J T. Anderson was at its head Ilis Assistant Professor was Amelia Randall, whose literary ability had been noted during her Senior year in college. The Girls' Basketball Team had challenged the women teachers to a game which it was my good fortune to see. Addic Hundley and Hazel Hains-worth were on the Faculty Team Big Hazel was still literally placing the ball in the basket. The English Department, under Ophelia Settle, was one of the best departments in the University. Ophelia had not changed a bit. and was still doing the work of ten persons. This scene faded from view, and 1 found myself in Freedman's Hospital 1 heard two nurses whisper. They will soon be out now. Before long the door of the operating room opened and out came the great surgeon, who. with the assistance of Dr George Pendleton, had just performed a remarkable operation. As the surgeon passed down the hall he gave an orderly a message for the head dietitian. The great surgeon was Charles Decasseras. My eyes followed the orderly to the office where sat a young woman in a stiff white uniform. At the sound of footsteps she raised her head, and 1 recognized her to be Helen Tyler. Then the lights flickered, but brightened up for a while. The little voice 1 had heard at first said. See yourself. I looked and beheld a wrinkled woman who wore a wig. Her hair and eyebrows had long since perished in a chemical explosion. At this sight I covered my eyes with my hand to shut out any more horrors. The light faded and vanished. I rubbed my eyes in wonder, for when 1 peered into the mirror nothing but my own image confronted me Such was the future of the Class of '2S as revealed in the looking-glass Pagt ?(!

This class manifested from the beginning a great spirit and a laudable consciousness of group interest. Both the football and basketball teams brought glorious victories to the banners of '26. The Varsity track and baseball teams were likewise greatly aided by the exuberant spirit of the men who went from compete on the cinder path and on the diamond. As Freshmen the traditional social events were held and formed red-letter days on Howard's social calendar for that year Both the Freshman Dance and the Freshman Girls' Valentine Party were well attended and highly praised and enjoyed by Howard’s romantic sons and daughters For the first time in many years the Class of ’26 holds the honor of having won the Freshman-Sophomore Debate during both its Freshman and Sophomore years. Baskerville, Lovcttc and Watson were its Forensic gladiators as Freshmen, and Baskerville. Lovette and George as Sophomores. The Class of '26 has been particularly active during the present year. A movement for greater class spirit and. in turn, greater University spirit was initiated by James Cobb as President during the autumn quarter, and Mr. Striplin as President during the winter quarter. This movement was one of the principal factors which caused Howard men to rally in parade after the defeat by Lincoln in football. Juniors are rapidly fitting into place ol older Howard men and women. Not only this, but they are making new places for themselves in Howard’s history. They arc generally looked upon as a versatile group of well-bred students Be it yell practice or a prayer meeting, numbers of 26 bear the brunt of the burden. “Mud and Sand.1’ a farce comedy written and directed by Charles Williams, was first produced before the class and later in a local theatre. Among its members there arc dramatists, poets, accountants, novelists, journalists, musicians and speakers of power. The class is now planning the Junior-Senior Prom, which will eclipse in color and enjoyment all previous ones. To those who have not known ‘26 in the past, this energetic group says in no uncertain terms. “Watch us build as Seniors.” I'agv si THE SOPHOMORE CLASS OF 1927 H. V 1925 BISON History of the Sophomore College Class Class of 1 27 considers the school year of 1925 one that has ant much in the way of success both to the class and to the liversity The Sophomore Class lived up to the name it made r itself in its Freshman year by displaying a high degree of ss and University spirit. After having spent a very pleasant and profitable vacation, the class returned to Howard in the fall of 1924 Mr John E. Codwell was elected President, and the class proceeded to show its colors. Of course. '17 duly initiated the paenies.” In the Freshman-Sophomore Debate, the class was on the short end of the discussion but through no fault of the debaters. Excellent ability was displayed by Messrs. Newbie. Banks and Allen. At various class meetings very interesting programs were rendered: such meetings were well attended by all the students. I bis tended to arouse a greater degree of interest in the class. Through the untiring efforts of the President the Freshman-Sophomore football game was reinstituted. The result was a score less tic. This game caused as much interest as the Varsity games. Mr Codwell was re-elected President of the class for the winter quarter a distinction which John really deserved and which was significant of the appreciation of the class for his good work in this capacity. The Class Dance was held on March 6. 1925. It was a very brilliant social affair. The Class of 1927 bids fair to bold up the high standards set by the classes of the odd ' years at Howard. dE mi U fo Pngr 83 THE FRESHMAN CLASS OF 1030 BISON 1925 H.

The outstanding event of the autumn quarter was the ne’er -be-forgotten Freshman Sophomore Debate Spirit ran high and the Chapel was crowded to capacity on the night of the duel of wits with shouting Freshmen and Sophomores. I he debate was hard fought and every point bitterly contested, but the judges' decision was that the Freshman Team had proved that 'The Negro Should Form An Independent Political Organiza tion.

D. 1922. the 192V Class of Howard University Law School made its advent into this cosmic sphere of ours After a brief introduction to the Faculty, each and every one of whom informed us “paenes that hts subject was the most important on the curriculum we started on the hard and rocky road leading to legal knowledge. Ye Gods! Hard and rocky is right. Little did we comprehend at that time what we were undertaking. In transcribing the record of our class activities, it may not be inappropriate for the humble historian to attempt a rather crude classification of the three years as follows: First Year— At the opening of the school we enjoyed an eloquent address by President Durkee. and Vice-Dean James A. Cobb made a few pertinent observations. The first three months were spent in deciding our first legal cross-word puzzle, viz . the distinction between chose in action and “chose in possession as propounded by Professor Richards l o anyone eavesdropping on our first class meeting at the election of officers and the adoption of the constitution. prepared and submitted by a special committee of which Ed Simmons was chairman, there could not have been any doubt as to what the prospective profession of the young Freshmen was—budding lawyers (?i. Well. I'll sav they were! The constitution was finally adopted with the necessary changes—if memory serves me correctly, one provision only survived the attack and remained intact I he outstanding feature worthy of mention this year was our class smoker, given on November 10. 1922. at the Y M. C. A., in the Grill Room On this occasion the members of our class, numbering forty-four, from various States in the Union, viz.. Virginia. West Virginia. Florida. South C arolina. Texas. Alabama. Misssissippi. Louisiana. Missouri. Ohio. California. New Mexico. New Jersey. Pennsylvania. New York and Connecticut, took this opportunity to become better acquainted with each other. We were tavored with an interesting informal talk by our dear Judge Terrell, the honor guest of the occasion After brief talks by each of the members. Jinks Davidson acting as toastmaster, a delectable repast was served and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all the ' embryo barristers present Owing to the remodeling of our own Law School Building, classes for the first three months were held in the old Ad Building on the Hill On the return to our domicile in December the Blackstone Club was organized. This was a course in legal argumentation presided over by Judge Terrell A. P Tureaud of Louisiana acted as clerk of the same The Junior Prom! How fondly do we recall that evening when we tripped the light fantastic toe' Good music and a large crowd out—approximately five hundred—but when the financial report was made there was a long and loud wail of despair.

A Simmons Journalist, and R Wallace. Scrgeant-at Arms. Second Year This was rather a prosaic year marked by difficult subjects, which demanded constant burning of the midnight oil Our Faculty was increased by the addition of three new members, to wit: Professors Imlay. Haves and Stafford We received this year a formal introduction to I he Chair and those who were not successful in deciding what became of the piano got not a dime At the close of the year an informal reception was rendered the Senior Class in the new Dining Hall Auditorium, where we spent a very enjoyable evening. The administrative officers for this year were: William A. Jones. President: F-rank Adams. Vice-President: Mrs Isadora 1.etcher. Secrc tary. and W. S French. Treasurer. We lost several members this year by withdrawal and one by death- Lieutenant Henry C. Ross This year marked our initiation into the solemn and sacred procedure of the Moot Court, presided over by our Judge William L. Houston. Three of our class—Styles. Adams and Turcaud were pitted against three Seniors— Hill Penn and Scott in the famous case of United States versus and a jury composed mostly of Seniors, with the aid of Bryson Chase and other members of our class gave the verdict to the defendant, thus defeating us in a case that was admittedly ours. I hud Year— The chronicles of this our last year are very brief, as the most interesting events are reserved for the latter end of the year, such as our (.'lass Banquet. Reception and Class Day Exercises Worthy of mention, however. is Brother Dent s classic remarkable in the probate case: No. he was not bright. ' Only brown skin, and “Ed Simmons challenges Monsieur Brown to a duel in the dark with rubber daggers at thirty paces. We were driven from our classes by fire having its origin in the basement. The damage was slight and we were able to resume our classes the next day. We had a notable addition to our Faculty in the person of Dr. Charles Houston, just recently returned from studies abroad. Our membership has fallen off about ferry per cent may wc maintain it at this point when May. 102 comes around! The class officers were: Joseph Johnson. President. F. L. Styles. Vice-President; 11. I Banks. Secretary; Thomas Parks. Treasurer, and Thomas Dent. Scrgcant-at Arms The officers of the Moot Court were: Thomas Dent. Bailiff, and J. B. Ward. Marshal. Judge Houston appointed the following as mentors in the Moot Court to assist at the trial table throughout the year: Joseph John- son. William Jones. A P Turcaud and Prank Adams. In conclusion, we acknowledge with gratitude the painstaking efforts and kindly interest of the members of our Faculty, and our sincere hope in passing from the portals of this institution is that it shall always be our serious purpose and endeavor to have our acts and conduct reflect with glory upon the school, and that Howard University may recall with pride on some future day the awarding of diplomas to the successful members of the I aw ( lass of 1925— the most illustrious in the history of the institution.

I wandered in a forest and heard the singing of the birds and babbling brook, it was a beautiful dell, and I wandered on. feasting my eyes upon the marvelous things of Nature and musing deeply Suddenly I was startled by merry peals of laughter and looked up to see a beautiful girl on the side of a little babbling stream amusing herself by dabbling her feet in the clear, cool water. She looked up at my approach, but without surprise, and greeted me with a cheery Good Morning! In my response she must have noted my sur prise in seeing her here, for she smiled and then I asked. Are you lost, too:’ For I have wandered far and lost my way. She smiled again and answered. Oh. no. this is my retreat when I grow tired of the busy world and wish to steal away with my thoughts and Nature. And. following the direction of her gaze. I saw a little white cottage among the trees. She resumed. Here I am never troubled by the world, but I knew you were coming, for I saw vour approach yesterday She saw the incredulity expressed upon my face, for she said Oh, that is simple: I am able to see the past, present and future of those I know, but lor more of those 1 do not know And she told me she was ' Alhalio. I became deeply interested and wondered and expressed myself, asking eagerly would it be possible for her to let me sec also. For I had been thinking and dreaming and wondering of the boys, the dear old boys, with whom I had had such pleasant association, and dear Mrs Poe. with whom our association was short but so very pleasant, twenty years ago. T he Howard University Law Class of 1925. the individuals of whom I had heard little and seen seldom in the many years. Where were they all. and what were they doing’ Athalie answered. Why. surely, come with me. She led the way to the cottage, and we entered a cozy little room, where on a low table in the center of the room stood a large crystal, which she immediately approached and beckoned me to follow, saying Look I will show you what you are most anxious to know-. And gazing into the crystal I saw passing before mo a panoramic review of the busy world A busy thoroughfare, people hurrying to and fro It is a New Haven.

Even circumstances, which at the time seemed certainly disastrous are to be laughed over with a hearty chuckle. From far and near our little group came together for the first time in October. 1922 There was Fisher Sewell and Miss Lewis who boasted of the nation s capital Miss Lewis originally, however was from Chattanooga Tennessee. They were here to greet the rest Pop Austin had long since left the cotton fields of Mississippi and he also called himself a Washingtonian. The mountains of West Virginia gave unto us one of its illustrous sons, big papa of a ten-pound baby boy He was responsible for Port lock s nickname. “Pote Virginia never produced a better chap than Portlock Our class mystery man was Johnson It was truly mysterious how he lived the last two years without eating. Wc all trust that Baltimore will be proud of him. The pretty boy was Dejoic, (from Crawfish town). New Orleans. He suffered from methyl-hvdroxidism quite often. Our other girl was Miss Pu . .y. from the land where when it snows it is rain. She was easy to get along with now ami then (mostly then). Perhaps the climate of South America was responsible for idiosyncracics. Every circus must have a clown, so we imported from Virginia little Jones Everyone knew the dose of sodium bromide when Boothe made his debate, but by the time he had shaken off that Oklahoma dust he was recognized as Wilcox Junior. He was rivalled only by Sewell There were others, but they never returned after the first year. 1 he entire first year was spent in trying to find out what it was all about That is the task of ail freshman. In any branch of training if at the end of the first year one has realized the depth, the fundamentals and the seriousness of one's undertaking, he may say that he has been successful Naturally that year was the hardest. We all appreciated the effort and persistency exhibited bv our instructors in undertaking to introduce us to the science of pharmacy There is a tendency for the first enthusiasm of a new course to depreciate as the time goes on Dr Mitchell, materia medica. was an exception to this rule, for wc all lived to attend that class. Our best marks were under Dr l urhman in Theory. Wc balked on attending Saturday classes until we met Dr Purdy. Wc liked him so well we rather enjoyed going to his Saturday class. Our first chemistry teacher was Miss Scott. Chemistry seemed awfully hard then, but we waded through. Aside from our studies we had a lot of fun. By the end of the vear wc not only had been introduced to the profession but a warm friendship had sprung up between the members Friends made at school arc always life-long friends. June came around tn a jiffy, and we were launched on our Junior year This proved to be a more serious year We began to think for our Page 109 1925 H. U. BISON t— =■ i(= n u— ' m1 % selves, and all seemed to have taken to Einstein’s theory of relativity. As a result of the latter it became an awfully hard matter to settle an argument. Each contended that he had a right to his opinion since — — One of the first points that Dr. Smith emphasized was. don't accept too much of what the book says until first ascertaining the facts for yourself : and it would be well to add. try and prove the book a liar. Everything went on smoothly until sadness came over us with the death of our beloved Dr. Purdy. Our work was literally paralyzed. In due time adjustments were made and our work proceeded, but the absence of Dean Purdy was keenly felt. He was not only a friend to the class but to the school and to the race. His heart beat with the heart of youth. Dr. Furhman took Dr Purdy’s work, and Dr Green. Dr Furhman’s. It was quite a task to adjust ourselves to the change, for every instructor attacks every subject differently. Finally we were again settled, and another June rolled around. It felt good to be a Senior however, we were only Seniors in class. 1 hat is to say aside from the seriousness of our work we were just as noisy and full of life as ever We never attained that Senior sedateness. On the Other hand we tried hard to become polished in pharmacy. That is the function of the Senior year to review, to put on the finishing touches and to make practical application. At the end of the first semester we turned our thoughts to graduation. I bis meant a lot of preparation. T hesis, selection of rings, data for the year book. etc., came down on us all at once. The general message to the graduating class starts off something like this. Now you are going out into life: Most of us. however, have witnessed some of life's ups and down. So. our closing remarks will be: We are finishing one of life's chapters and are turning to the next. A glimpse into the next reveals that it is utterly dependable upon the one before, so it is well that we have absorbed thoroughly its content On the other hand with the coming pages there arc new and complicated things The storv takes changes which we never dreamed of These complications will demand every ounce of our energy, therefore we must be brave and strive ever for success through service. Each must go his way. and each wishes the other success Should we meet again we will laugh over the good old days. uo H. V.

When I think of my dear classmates and friends it makes my very heart swell with pride and I begin to read my diary, made while making an extensive tour of Northland and South America My diary takes me back to 19}5. It was in June, and I felt that I must sec some of the world before I got too old to enjoy it My first stop was in Baltimore. After staying there a few days I went down Druid Hill Avenue one evening and on one of the corners in the busines section I saw a big electric sign. Drugs and Soda. Dr. C li Johnson, pro prietor I wondered if it was my old classmate. Calvin E. So I walked in and inquired. I was told that Dr. Johnson was out. bur I bought some soda and sat there a while. Such service! While I sat there. Dr. Johnson came m I knew him as my old friend at a glance. I asked him how he did it. What do you think he said? ‘'Oh! I wish I had time to tell you about it. Oh! it’s so easy, so easy. I left Baltimore the next day and went to New York. While on a sight seeing trip we visited Columbia University. 1 could hardly believe my eyes when I saw Dr Oden Fisher coming across the campus. Of course I wanted ro know what he was doing there. He was doing some research in chemistry: trying to synthesize and hydrolize at the same time some newly isolated compound. During the winter he was teaching at our dear Alma Mater So wo shook hands and parted, for he was in somewhat of a hurry A few days later 1 passed Dr. Portlock down in Harlem. He was as surprised to see me as I was to see him He carried me to his place a few squares away and I found that he was a dealer in crude drugs of all kinds He was doing well I left that night for Detroit Mich I didn’t care so much for Detroit, although I did have an enjoyable time I had heard that Dr. Harold O Boothe was in business there. So I began to inquire for him Everybody seemed to know him He owned and operated a chain of drug stores in and around Detroit My friends carried me to the largest of the stores and I was lucky enough to find Dr Boothe there It was sheer luck that I found him in: for he was about to leave for his Pathological laboratory. He had gained some note along Pathological lines and he was connected with a large Hospital in the city. Two days later I went to Chicago. Ill While there I saw Dr J. A Jones. He was in business on State Street. He said that his uncle had begged him to go in business in New Jersey and offered him all the assistance possible, but he wanted to go on his own. So he moved his little family to the windy city. and started business. While I was in his place of business one of his friends came in and began telling him about a prescription which he had received during the day. Dr. Jones, our Big Jones' of old. said: Why. man. down in Bluefield we get 'em like that any time. Of course I had my laugh and told him that he was the same Big Jones. all right. 112 H. U. 1925 BISON From Chicago 1 went to sunny California It was a long and tiresome trip; but I was amply rewarded for my trouble. I've never seen a more beau tiful place The air and scenery were delightful I was in Los Angeles about a week before I went to the business section of the city. My friends were carrying me through the Masonic building. On the third floor, there was a sign on one of the doors. Dr. A L Austin. I learned later, to my surprise. that it was my old classmate. Pop Austin. He didn’t look a day older This carried me back to the old days of 1925. when we were theorizing on Pop Austin's age; but we never found out. He had a Pharmacog nostical laboratory in the rear of his office and he spent most of his time viewing the beauties through his microscope Dr. Austin’s brother had influenced him in settling in California I was loath to leave California, but I had another long journey before me. Therefore I bought my ticket for New Orleans. Louisiana, because I wanted to go to South America to visit my dear friend and old chum. Dr. J. Catherine Puzzcy. The snmmer months were about over but 1 had no fear of cold weather, as I was in the land where flowers bloom the year round and fields are always green. New Orleans is quite a cosmopolitan city. There I met all creeds and nationalities. Everywhere I was greeted with generous hospitality. I was in the city nearly two weeks before I got a chance to look up my good friend and classmate. Dr. Dejoic So I thought I'd take a stroll down Rampart Street to see if I could locate him As I expected, he had replaced the Senior on the electric sign over the door. I walked in and sure enough tlx re he was. Old Dear Dejoic of old. While we were talking, two rosy children romped in a sturdy boy and girl of about five years. He said that they wore Joe Junior 2nd and Clarice, twins. I congratulated him and told him that I would surely tell Dr. Sewell about him and his little family He said that he knew Buddy Boy Sewell would certainly be filled with envy. I saw him several times after that at social affairs. He was president of the Howard Club as well as Vice President of the Pharmaceutical Association. I judged that he still had his old habits. Two weeks later 1 sailed for South America. I cabled Dr Puzzcy. and she met the ship. I recognized her at once. A young man took my bags and she gave him the check to see after my luggage. I didn't know what she was saying to him. because they both were speaking in Spanish. Then she led me to her car—a Pierce Arrow—ami we drove home. I must say that South America surely must be God's country It seemed to me that everybody knew Puzzcy and she knew everybody. She kept bowing right and left and of course I didn't know what it was all about. I found out later that she was half owner of the Puzzcy ii Pu . ey Exporting Company. Exporters of crude drugs anti the proprietor of the Puzzcy Pharmacy of Columbia. South America. I stayed with Dr. Puzzcy a month: but I was sorry when my visit there terminated I came back to the U S. A. by way of New Orleans, but only lingered a day. I had one more stop to make before reaching home. I bought a ticket Page n.: B I S 0 N H. U. J 925 t K =U H - = t =3t = t Jt = == to Richmond. Va My ticket provided for several stops, which I took advantage of; staying only a few hours in each place. Finally I reached Richmond. and stayed there a few days. As I was crossing the street at noon one day someone blew so vigorously that 1 said to myself, “what’s the matter with that nut?’ Then someone hailed me He said, “look out there. Moze. you'll lose a leg 'er something It was my old friend. W. W. .Jones. Dr Jones was on his way home to lunch, and he invited me along.

All he could say was, “well. 1 declare I left Richmond the next evening. The first chance I got after reaching Washington was to call up Dr. Howard Sewell to tell him about my trip and give him Dr. Dejoie's message. I succeeded in getting him at The Washington College of Pharmacy.' of which he was President.

BISON 1925 t r -m =---it= =n =h c---k= e — c-= History HE Howard University had its beginning in a prayer meeting held November 20. 1866. in which the plan of a theological seminary, having in view the training of colored men for the ministry was formed. In the first year of its history, the Trustees authorized the teaching of students accredited as preachers and others looking forward to that work. This teaching was begun forthwith and continued until 1871. when a Theological Department was fully organized with the twelve students in attendance. In the Fall of 1897 an Evening Class, designed to aid preachers and workers in Sunday Schools. Christian Associations, city Missions and other branches of Christian activity.” was established This Department, which was open to anyone who chose to come without regard to previous academic Training, was discontinued in June. 1916; and in February. 1919. an evening class, which has proved to he an important part of the work, was organized with the same standards as the day classes Some years ago instruction by correspondence was begun under the direction of the Extension Department. This effort has grown rapidly, and the Department now has vast opportunities for service Today the School of Religion receives only those who can meet college entrance requirements. The Theological College has been established, and offers to high school graduates a combined college and theological course, divided about equally between college and theological subjects. The B. D. course, based upon a previous college training, remains unchanged Recently the School of Religion has established a Vocational Training Department which offers a two-year course designed for those who desire to prepare for special service as laymen. The course in Missions has been enlarged: Religious Education and the Psychology of Religion are taught for three quarters each: and all of the students are given practical experience in public speaking, teaching and preaching. The most recent and novel addition is a course in Practical Law. The Extension Department conducts Bible Institutes and Lecture Courses as well as a Correspondence School. It is hoped that the S OO.OOO Campaign now on will eventually enable the School of Religion successfully to carry on its ever enlarging work of preparing leaders and workers in the Greater Kingdom of God.

This Council was originally composed of students representing the academic schools of the University and the School of Religion. The Council consisted of a President, chosen from the incoming Senior Class by the student body, two members from each of the college classes with the provision that the Freshman Class would not be represented until its second quarter at the University. With a group thus formed, the first student Council worked at a decided disadvantage under a conservative constitution. Regular weekly meetings and occasional student mass meetings were held, yet little of importance was aecom plished In that year, however, an agitation was raised against the “eight-cut law which enforced Chapel attendance, and through efforts of the Council. the ‘‘eight-cut'’ system was suspended, although regular attendance at Chapel continued to be required. Before the year closed. Frederick D. Jordan. Treasurer of the first Council, was elected President of the Council, During the autumn of 1921. compulsory Chapel was discontinued, and upon the Student Council fell the task of maintaining a representative attendance at Chapel This, the Council was not able to do. The Council attempted to regulate smoking on the Campus, but failed in this also. In tin Spring of 1922. D Ward Nichols was elected President for the following year I hc Council under Mr. Nichols was the first to leave a written record This Council attacked the ruling of the administration which gave to the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women unquestionable authority in cases of individual student discipline. The protest accomplished nothing Near the close of the year. Louis F. King was elected President for the year 1923-24. The 1923-24 Council was composed of an energetic group, most ol whom were especially interested in extra curricula activities This Council proposed to the administration a budget system by which each student who paid at tlx beginning of each quarter an extra-curricula fee of one dollar would he entitled to a quarter s subscription to the student paper, a 23c reduction on all tickets to University affairs, and free entertainment at a student reception. I he proposal was accepted by the administration and the Hilltop was established as the student paper I he Hilltop gave to students opportunity to place before others their thoughts, and helped to familiarize the student body with its common problems and to direct them in concerted and effective actions. ’Fix next stroke of the Council was directed at the constitution A thorough revision was made and a new constitution was presented to the students in the Hilltop under date ol March 13. 1924 Ibis constitution gave the Council more power, greater responsibility, and it increased the membership of the body. During the Spring Quarter of 1924. Arthur M. Brady was elected President of the Council. The election of members took place during October, the beginning of the Autumn Quarter. The following is the roster for the pres ent year: C. Glenn Carrington. Vice-President: Marian M. Thompson. Recording Secretary: Bernice Chism. Corresponding Secretary: Armour J Blackburn. Treasurer: Hilda A. Davis. Thomas J. Anderson. I.ancess Pay H7 1925 BISON H V. Vic Knight. Britton C Baskervillc Edward P. Lovett. Percy Newbie. John W Poe and Asa T Spaulding. Mr. McKnight was chosen Chairman of the Social Committee. The Council so well balanced in energy and ability, promptly began its work Committees were set in motion which accomplished many long-felt wants of the Student body A Hilltop staff, with Thomas J. Anderson as Editor, was elected, and this publication was assured the proper financial backing. which caused it to be published periodically and efficiently. A well-arranged social program for the year was recommended by the Social Committee. which included one general reception to the students during the autumn quarter, three during the winter quarter, and one during the spring quarter, in addition to the receptions planned by the classes and clubs. With the approach of the Winter Season, the Council ser itself to work upon one of its greatest items the New Constitution for the Council. The Constitution proposed by the Council of 192J-24 was carefully revised and engrossed for presentation to the students and the Academic Council It is hoped that this will have gone into effect by the end of the present scholastic year. By this time the Extra-Curricula Fund may be considered well established as a University tradition, the benefits of which reach every student, no matter how remote lie may seem to be from the core of campus activities. On Friday. February 6. at I 2: JO. the Council entertained Mr. Eugene Corby, a visiting student from C C N Y at lunch in the New Dining Hall Farly in the Winter Quarter, there came to the attention of the Student Council a situation at Fisk University which was caused by a disagreement between members of the administration and the student body. There appeared on the Campus of Howard several students who had been lately in attendance at Fisk, and there came to the attention of the Council facts which demonstrated the situation in its true light, including statements both from the President of the University, members of the Board of Trustees and Alumni of Fisk. The Nashville Press and from members of its student body These facts were carefully weighed and investigated. In considering this matter, the Student Council was moved by the strong fellowship and feelings of genuine brotherhood which have always existed between the faculty and students of Howard University 1'he Council wished to refrain from allying itself with any antagonistic faction at Fisk University, a sister institution with which Howard has always enjoyed rhe happiest relations. But as representatives of a fellow-student group, keenly awake to offer succor to its fellows everywhere, in light of the new movements all over the world toward greater intercourse among students, the Council, in its meeting on February 11. 1926). unanimously adopted the following resolution introduced by C. Glenn Carrington: Whereas, the Student Council, representing the students of Howard University, has heard with profound regret and feelings of keen understanding of the unfortunate circumstances which at present confront the students of Fisk University: be it Resolved, that we. the Student Council of Howard University, express to the students of Fisk University our sympathy in their movement, our desire for a full frank and free interchange of views, and our pledge to aid whenever and wherever possible and be it further Papr 12$ H. V. BISON 1925 Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be placed upon the records of this Council, a copy sent to the students of Fisk University, and a copy fur nished to the press. The council further intends to bring about a new spirit in Freshman Sophomore activities for the coming year, raise the level of extra curricula activities, set in motion an influence toward a better spirit among students and work for the Greater Howard. Arthur Brady has pushed forward the great work of the Council with energy and genuine interest. He has made the campus take note of the real value of this organisation to the student interests The Council is and will continue to be. a living, growing, organism back of which every student must stand in accomplishing our aim. A Greater Howard. l ty views or thc city or Washington K U. 1925 B I S 0 N ----iC— Young Men’s Christian Association i 0 A continues to move forward. Its marked prog hree years’ time is due to the strenuous efforts of Mr. IV West. 1° C olby College, its Executive Secretary, s as captain of this organization, which is a rescue � r students on the sea of social, spiritual and financial troubles. A partial program of the work of the Y follows To help students to get work to earn a part of their University expenses To conduct a series of talks on Hotel. Pullman, and Dining Car Service, so as to heln students to get work in these lines during vacations. To operate a Book Exchange. Any student having books to sell, may bring them to the Y and have them listed at his own price Students dcsir ing books may come to the Y and purchase No charges for “Y services to cither purchaser or seller To have deputation teams visit schools and suburban churches. To conduct Bible Study, and I ife Study groups. To serve as the Connecting I ink between the students and the Chu rches. To correspond with prospective students with reference to Student Employment, to correspond with students' parents, etc. To help to promote Social. Mental and Spiritual activities, so as to help each student get a 100 development, and to play his part in helping to develop a I00r; University life. To create such an altruistic atmosphere about the campus that no student will ever be allowed to feel that nobody cares, or that nobody is interested in him. Regardless of what the student’s problems may be. if he will drop in for a talk with Mr. West, he is assured of confidential and sympathetic interest. The motto of the “Y is: Unselfish Service To All. Mr. West is being assisted ably this year by the following student officers: Tillman H. Henderson. President; Joseph 1 Rideout. Secretary: and George B. Miller. Treasurer. Pape Ml THE YOUNG WOMENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION BISON 1925 h. a The Young Women’s Christian Association University branch of the Young Women’s Christian Association is rapidly becoming a vital force in the life of the students. The work of the year 1924-25 has been especially encouraging. The Cabinet Training Council which met at the Phyllis Wheatly Y W. C. A. in the spring of 1924. was instrumental m preparing the present Cabinet for effective work The various committees, with the aid of the national secretaries, mapped out the work for the year, and they had only to adapt their plans to the situations confronting them at the beginning of the school session. Under the auspices of the Religious Education Committee, the regular Sunday morning discussions have been centered around campus problems, and various attempts have been made to apply the doctrine of Christ in their solution In order to foster a closer relationship between the girls of the various dormitories, the Sunday meetings have been held alternately in the girls' dormitories anil sorority houses. In addition to the discussions, the Association has brought interesting speakers before the group These speakers have given the girls a broader outlook on topics of world-wide interest The girls initiated an entirely unique movement this year—that of having Sunday School in Miner Hall for the children in the neighborhood whose environment does not encourage spiritual development. The Y girls have gone regularly each Sunday morning to the Stoddard Baptist Home, where they have gladdened the hearts of the inmates by their songs, their smiles and words of cheer. The girls who leave Howard this year sincerely hope that this practice will be handed down from year to year and will become a cherished custom of our “Y.” Miss Sadler, the National Girls' Secretary, was at the University during Inauguration week She was glad to see the revival of the “good old Y' spirit at Howard, and she said much that tended to nuke the girls more desirous of upholding their Christian standards. The officers are: Mabel Holloway. President: Mary C. Johnson. Vice- President: Mamie Horne. Secretary and Rousillon Berry, Treasurer With continual growth the Y W. C. A. will soon hold as important a place at Howard University as it does in the other Universities of its standard.

It aims 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 the keenest minds, plenty of initiative, advocators, speakers, presidents of many ol the classes, presidents of the student councils, have generally acquired much of their ability through the medium of this organization In fact, many of out prominent lawyers, developing young leaders, and active alumni were found in the weekly meetings of this society Interclass and intercollegiate debates are held under its auspices. Through the initiative of Mr. J Garland Wood in 1922. the society proposed a national intercollegiate honorary debating fraternity The Delta Sigma Chi was organized the same year on Howard s campus, with representatives from Lincoln and Union present Mr Wood was elected first president of this fraternity whose function was to organize varsity debaters, present ihem with keys and foster public speaking, argumentation, and oratory among Negro college students to a greater extent. Up to the present time more than keys have been awarded to varsity debaters of the three schools. The organization has endeavored to increase the number of chapters within recent years. Wilbcrfore and Morehouse College have favorably considered making applications for membership in this honorary debating fraternity. The Society contemplates the inauguration of an annual Douglass Day. at which time a series of oratorical contests shall be given on Frederick Douglass' birthday to encourage oratory among college students. 1 he society also plans to publish a Negro Intercollegiate Debating Manual, containing the debates of Howard. Atlanta. Union and Lincoln The Annual Freshman-Sophomore Debate proved a great success intel-icctually and spiritually For the first time in its history the society promoted a debate participated in by a female student, the Freshman class sending one of the fair sex to help uphold its colors on the forensic battlefield There are indications of greater successes than ever under the guidance of Professor M Franklin Peters, who was appointed successor to Professor Montgomery Gregory at the beginning of the present school year.

BISON 1925 The Pestalozzi-Froebel Society has been the custom at Howard for the last twenty years for the students in the school of Education to have a society for the fostering of professional pride in their field. This year a small number of students in this school united and as those members of old made it an invaluable instrument for those who have the higher ideals of pedagogy at heart. This year the society has been helped by talks from well known and experienced teachers and leaders in the educational world Among the speakers were some whose messages made an indelible impression upon the members. Dean Kelly Miller spoke on the Pedagogy of Jesus : Howard H. Long spoke on ‘ Tests and Measurements, and Martha Henson told the society of her work with “Delinquent Children. The Society has had interesting discussions upon educational topics Especially were the members enthusiastic about the Sterling- Towner Bill. This society entertained all of its friends one evening at a Birthday Party, in Library Hall. A very novel program was rendered and ail present left with the desire that the Pestalozzi-Froebel be host again The society feels sure that in the endeavor to carry out its ideals it will receive the cooperation of all who plan to enter the teaching profession and who realize the great need of efficient teachers in our day. The officers of the Pestalozzi-Froebel Society are: Anita Turpeau William spencer Em a Joyce Rost tta Nolan President Vice President ------------Secretary T reasurer Pnrje 13? OEff DEUTSCHE VEffElN Der Deutsche Verein HP German Club was organized in 1919, under the leadership of Prof Edward P. Davis, head of the Department of German. Dr Davis' purpose was to arouse among the students of German greater interest in German literature and art and in German life and customs. The Club is composed of all students pursuing courses in the Department of German: membership is never lost as long as one continues one’s interest in the Club. Meetings are held bi-monthly. Rapid strides have been made and except for the year during which Dr Davis was on sabbatical leave of absence, the organization has nude ..n enviable record I his year the organization has a larger attendance and the interest has been more lively than ever before Under the management of the President Mr Hyman Y. Chase, many literary and musical programs have been presented, including recitations, playlets, songs, artistic dances, piano, saxophone and flute solos, and infornul lectures in English and in German upon Germany and features of German daily life A new feature has been added to the program this year. In order to give every one the opportunity to take part in the program, several enjoyable German games have been played I his has awakened great enthusiasm and attracted many visitors to the meetings I he purchase by the Club of a num- ber of German ”1 icderbuechcr with words and music has given further opportunity to all to participate actively. 1 he co-operation of the members of the Club, together with helpful suggestions from the instructors.

It now has a membership of approximately three hundred. It is altogether fitting that one should know the aims, organization and outlook cl Le Cercle The original purpose of the Club, one which it has constantly kept before it. is to interest the students of Howard University and of other institutions for higher education of Washington, in things French: the language, literature, music, and even the people of France It attempts to carry out its purpose by rendering musical and literary programs every Tuesday evening in Library Hall. The members and visitors of the Club spend many delightful evenings in its foreign but friendly atmosphere. One student remarked after a meeting: “If we have not sufficient funds to go to Paris, we can get a touch of Parisian life from the French Club . Although the Club is perpetual, it is necessary that a re-organization take place each year in order to enroll new members, to re-instate old members, and to elect officers. The Club was organized this school year on December 26. 1924 The following officers were elected: F P Watts. President: W. 1. Pryor. Jr.. Vice-President Julia Parr. Secretary: T. J Anderson. Treasurer: and J. 1 Young. Sergcant-at Arms. Each French Class was organized on a similar plan A Council for the Club was appointed. It consists of the fol lowing members: Pearl Johnson. Chairman A M Brady, and T. J Anderson. Le Cercle Francais looks forward to a great and bright future. Every year it inaugurates new movements, and makes its influence felt more and more. Judging the future by the past, the members expect the Club to grow to such an extent that in a few years it will be able to establish a fund to send abroad each year one or two students who show a special aptitude for French It also hopes to form a romance quarter as many other large universities have done. La Cercle Francais aspires to make traditional an annual soiree, to which eminent French people are often invited. At this affair the students come into close contact with these people and converse with them in a manner which is only possible at such an occasion. All institutions of learning live on the traditions created during the world war, and foremost among these traditions must be that of culture. This phase of life has been lacking at Howard University, Le Cercle Francais is the only student organization on the hill seeking to provide it. The organization expects to continue its custom of giving at least one play by an eminent French writer each year, the last always excelling the pro ceding in splendor and talent If the interest now manifested in the Club continues, there is no reason to doubt that its hope will be realized.

Professor Lochard is the only native Frenchman of color in America, and it is largely through his efforts that Le Cercle Franqais is a real French club. He is intensely interested in French, and is particularly anxious to guide and aid students who are especially apt in that language. During his life at Howard he has lost no opportunity to bring before the students prominent Frenchmen in the diplomatic and social circles of the city He was the interpreter on 'he occasion of the visit of Marshal Loch to Howard, and is as fluent a speaker of English as of French. It is his spirit which lives in Le Cercle Franqais. and he is largely responsible for its rapid growth and the prominent place which it now occupies in the cultural circles on the campus. Prf)f JU 1925 H. U. BISON The Historical Society of Howard University HURSDAY noon. December 11. 1924. at the proposal of Mr Ralph Ii Ranks, a number of students organized The Historical Society of Howard University. The purpose of the organization is fourfold: first, to stimulate an interest in and to reward those students who achieve high scholastic ranking within the department: second, to establish a “Museum of Documents' in History. especial y emphasizing the early life and development of the Negro race third, to reward those whose research in this field shall contribute to our knowledge of the early history and struggle of the Negro race in America: fourth, to stimulate and encourage propaganda which will give recognition to the deeds of the Negro Membership in the organization is open to all students whose major sub jeet is History. Only those members who have shown superior scholarship in this subject will be permitted the right of suffrage and privileged to wear the official emblem of the Society.

Dames as President and Miss Zora Neal Hurston as Secretary. For several reasons this organization ceased to function effectively, and a reorganization became necessary. On Saturday night. February 2. 1924. at the call of Mr W. M Mcnchan. the Florida Club was reorganized. At this time there were only ten members, but at the present time there is an enrollment of twenty-five, including the honorary members. This group is similar to any other organized body in its structure and ruling, but when it comes to its purpose there is likely to be a dissimilarity. Its aims arc: to develop a more friendly relationship between the students from the State of Florida and others registered in the University: to help promote. foster and perfect the ideal condition of life: to look after the general interest and welfare of the students who come to Howard from the State of Florida: and to encourage and aid prospective students from the State of Florida by giving them as much information as possible It would be strange and injurious, indeed, if the very organization for which Floridians have given up so much in belief that it would be influential in establishing these projects should fail in its exalted mission. It if falls now. ir will not fall by the dart hurled by the hands of its members, but on account of the dart withheld from its defense bv the hands of its friends. The students of the University should know that Floridians, too. belong to the arm of the loyal With this group of energetic members this organization proposes to be one of the strongest assets to the student life of Howard University. It is the duty of every loyal member to render filial service, not with the blind fanaticism of the follower of a fetish, but with an enlightened and firm conviction that the University is one of the greatest agents of good that a nation maintains. The Club is now under the guidance of its newly elected President, and greater things are expected. Of-PICE RS WILLIAM E. All.IN' Prtudent Ct RFvci s Smith Vue Prrudrnt Plow nci s.

In the spring of 1923 the League was organized for the purpose of bringing about a closer relationship among the women of the University. Those who had the honor of being the first administrators of this League were the I Misses Geraldine Neale. President: Mary C. Johnson. Recording Secretary: Gladys Peters. Corresponding Secretary, and Susie Brown. Treasurer. During the first year of us existence the League established two traditions in the University: the Annual Howard Women’s Dinner and the Christmas Candle-light Procession. These two functions are red-letter events on the calendar of every Howard woman The League has been instrumental in bringing before the students eminent speakers who have discussed many topics of public interest. Miss Ethel Smith of the Women s Labor Board and Miss Jones of the National Women's Party were presented in debate on the Equal Rights Bill As an educational move. Dean Amos of Pittsburgh University was brought to the campus to lecture on vocational guidance. Delightful talks on college traditions and fraternal life were given by Dean Amos at the women’s meetings Recently, when all the world was astir with interest in the Presidential election the League had a meeting for discussion of political topics Dean Kelly Miller explained the platform of each party and the main issues discussed at each Convention The Women s League, under the leadership of Miss Ophelia Settle, its President, is planning to present other speakers to the women and to tlx general student body. The chief item on the program of the organization is the increasing of the Library facilities. At the end of the year the League plans to make a valuable contribution of books to the library The I eague’s greatest value lies in the fact that through it the women have been unified, and their voice has become an important factor in rbc University life Public sentiment encouraged by the League concerning certain campus reforms has done more toward mending the situation than any previous actions. The Women s League belongs entirely to the women. In its meetings •hey are free to express themselves frankly on all matters. I his is one institution which cannot die It grows with the growth of the school. Pa (ft- l ',5 HOWARD UNIVERSITY SYMRHONY ORCHESYR The Howard University? Band and Symphony Orchestra was during the year 1007 that Howard University realized the power ot a distinct musical organization on the campus. Within this conception and realization was the birth of the How ard University hand and Symphony Orchestra In their earlier stages of development these organizations suffered very many hardships, because of their seeming impracticability. Among those persons who labored so faithfully to develop these infant organizations were the far famed James F. Europe. Fredrick Douglass, Jr., James I . Miller and Prof. Roy W. Tibbs. With the coming of Mr. Dorcy Rhodes. Howard University’s Band seemed to become more of a reality. The vigor and inspiration that radiated from his personality seemed to give the band a sudden impetus which pushed it forward like a Hercules. In 1921. after only four months under the direction of Mr Rhodes, the band was able to furnish music for the entire Commencement Week, and in 1922 was able to furnish music for R. O. T. C. drills football and basketball games. The year 1923 brought the band the greatest achievement of its existence. It entered into competition with the Imperial Elks' Band of New York and the Wanamakcr Band of the Wanamakcr Company. Philadelphia. in Philadelphia. November 2 4 In this contest, with only student musicians, this organization was able to defeat the Imperial Iks Band by over fifty points and to cause the Wanamakcr aggregation to tremble for fear Both of these last mentioned bands were composed of professional musicians of excellent ability. Out of this wonderful band evolved our present symphony orchestra It is interesting to note that this is the only symphony orchestra composed of entirely colored musicians This organization was also developed through Mr Rhodes with the aid of Mr Wesley 1. Howard, far-famed Negro violinist and associate director By steady, consistent work the orchestra was able to give an entire program of symphonic music at the Lincoln Theatre. Washington. D C.. February 4th. 192 which was favorably received by several outstanding critics. The President of the University, speaking in the Chapel, said. “This orchestra has appealed to me more than any other symphony orchestra that 1 have heard, and it has been my pleasure to listen to both famous American and European orchestras.'' Immediately after Faster in the present year the orchestra plans concerts in Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York. 1925 n i s o n H.

Such social problems as “What Stand Shall the College Woman Take Toward th: ( hang.ng Morality? ' offer topics for frank discussion and careful thought. During Commencement Week the girls of the enthusiastic .Junior Class were initiated into “Tau Sigma. It is the earnest desire of the members of the club that the Class of '26 will continue the tradition and will make the organization a vital force in their University life 1 he women of the Class of '2S sincerely hope that this tradition will serve as an incentive to the future Senior women to preserve the integrity of its precepts.

Beta Chapter has by its example inspired the establishment of the Chapters of three other national fraternities, three National Sororities, three professional fraternities and two professional Sororities Alpha Phi Alpha men are prominent in many activities throughout the country Individual members of this Chapter have made valuable contributions to the history of the University during their transient life here, the most permanent and outstanding of which is the “Alma Mater.” the music of which was written by Brother Fred D- Malone, and the words of which were written by Brother Joseph Hunter Brooks. Within the traditional walls of Beta Chapter was born the idea of a national education campaign which became the 'Go to High School. Go to College' Movement. Thousands of school children throughout the country have been reached by means of this annual drive in schools, churches public meetings, the press and the radio.

Delta Sigma Chi Founded at Howard University, March 25. 1 22 HE Delta Sigma Chi National Honorary Debating Fraternity is the outgrowth of a feeling among students of Howard. Lincoln and Union that there should be an organization for the purpose of establishing a more perfect fellowship among themselves, and to foster and develop higher ideals in debating and public speaking. The name of the fraternity is composed of letters from the names of the three Charter Chapters—Delta Rho Forensic of Lincoln. Kappa Sigma Society of Howard and Kappa Gamma Chi of Virginia Union University The organization has striven to raise the standards of debating in several colleges, and there is a movement on foot for the establishment of Chapters in other schools where debating is known to be on a high level. Delta Sigma Chi is the first honorary fraternity to be established bv undergraduate Negro college men. The charter members o! the fraternity are J. Garland Wood of Howard, who was its first President: E. Luther Books of Lincoln and F. Douglas Johnson of Virginia Union. Frederick H. Robb, formerly of Howard and now of Chicago. Illinois, is President of the fraternity at this time The annual triangular debate between Howard. Lincoln and Union is fostered by the Chapters of Delta Sigma Chi Its official emblem is a key. which bears a triangle and the name of the fraternity in Greek letters. Debating at Howard is improving because of the influence exerted by Delta Sigma Chi men. The keen rivalry for places on the Varsity debating teams demonstrates the eagerness of men to qualify for membership in an organization which has produced effective debaters and public speakers, and among the members of which there exists a bond of fellowship.

Its membership is limited to those actually engaged in the study of law and those in active practice of law Imbued with the spirit of Ole Tau Delta Sigma, and with the words of Right. Honor and Wisdom ever before them, its members are gradually attaining places of usefulness and honor throughout the country. In 1920 the members of the Law Frat purchased a beautiful three-story brick dwelling for its home at 913 Rhode Island avenue N W. It is admirably located and splendidly adapted for undergraduate fraternal conveniences. There is one great purpose to which its members are looking forward that is. the organization and establishment of a National Negro Bar Association. PRPSI NT OFFICERS St i wart A Calhoun.

The Annual Convention was held in Philadelphia. Pa.. December 27 31. inclusive, at the seat of Epsilon Chapter. Three fundamental propositions were discussed, viz: A Thorough Study of the Negro Migration A Plan for Raising the Standards of Negro Colleges. A Thorough Study of Negro Business Conditions For three years the fraternity has successfully conducted a national movement— The Clean Speech Movement.” Another movement inaugurated by the fraternity is the ' Douglass Scholarship Fund.” There are three scholarships offered each year to its undergraduates The official organ of the fraternity is the Crescent, which is issued every three months and is kept on file in all the leading libraries throughout the country.

McCloud established the w Chi Delta Mu Fraternity at Howard University in 191 V I hose lour distinguished men believed that because of the commonality of aims in these professions the students pursuing them should be brought into closer contact. The medical fraternity was established as a means toward this end. and in furtherance of the highest ideals of professional ethics among the students. The close alliance of the associated professions. Medicine. Dentistry and Pharmacy, has been acknowledged since the days of the Hippocratic oath, and throughout history's pages these professions have been seen to write, and will continue to write, indelibly their points of ethics common to one another. The Chi Delta Mu Fraternity thus justifies its existence by strengthening these bonds of mutual interests when and wherever the opportunity is present, whether it be in the student body or among the active members in these professions. In response to the demands of this age of specialization, the Chi Delta Mu Fraternity enjoys the unique distinction of being the only Negro fraternity of its kind in the world, in that it accepts for its membership only those men who are in active pursuit of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, or doctors who have been graduated in these professions.

One of its notable events was the awarding of a scholarship, to study abroad, to Soror Gwendolyn Bennett. Instructor in Art at Howard University. Soror Bennett merits this scholarship. In the judgment of the members of the organization, she is the Soror who will receive the greatest benefit from studying abroad. As Alpha Chapter looks hack over the past school year, she remembers with pride one important event above all others the fall initiation, at which lime seven new members, each a credit to Delta, were added to her ranks As Alpha ( haptcr looks forward she enthusiastically awaits the coming of “May Week Already extensive plans arc being made for making this Educational Drive the most successful ever.

As few women to date have entered upon the study of law. our number is necessarily limited but our strength lies not in numbers, but in a determined purpose. The Sorority, though young is making rapid progress in the way of scholastic activities. Last year it was the donor of a set of books to the law library, and is now raising a scholarship fund for female students who are interested in the study of law.

Since higher institutions of learning throughout the country find it necessary to launch drives for large sums of money, the Beta-Zeta Chapter plans to formulate a scheme which will bring substantial aid to a Negro university of “A' standing. This Chapter is also a Big Sister to the Student Chapter and joins enthusiastically in its work Many students fail to decide definitely upon their life's work; they simply drift into something until much of their energy has been consumed in trying to find the right position. With this in mind. Beta-Zeta aims to establish a vocational guidance bureau for students so that there will be a smaller number of misfits in the educational world. It is the purpose of the Graduate Chapter, then, aside from raising an endowment fund for an accredited university, to guide students, and especially their little sisters of the Alpha Chapter, in choosing the life work for which they are best adapted.

It was the hope of all that Lincoln would be vanquished. As usual, the first call for candidates was issued September I Sih with a wealth of good material on hand Coach Morrison was no new comer. Soon he had whipped together a well-oiled machine, being ably assisted by Assistant Coach Trigg. Alter three weeks of hard drill the team was ready for action. North Carolina Agricultural and I cchnical College came on October th to do battle on our field. It was a bard-fought battle and a sad occasion. When the smoke of battle had cleared and the gallant warriors had gone, both goals remained tintrod by hostile feet. One gallant Bison left the fold never to fight again for his Alma Mater Haywood Speed Johnson made the supreme sacrifice in that battle Although this game did not spell defeat, it showed that there was room for improvement On account of the death of Speed Johnson, the game with St. Paul on October I 1th was cancelled It was now the task of Coach Morrison to rebuild the morale of a team over which the grim monster Death had hovered. For three weeks there were no games played On October 18th there was an open date. On October 24th we met West Virginia Collegiate Institute. The team seemed to have recovered from the shock and entered the game with a new spirit I cd by the indomitable spirit of Speed. they fought long and hard: time and time again they threatened to score. Until the final whistle they fought, but that punch to put over the winning score seemed to be lacking. The game ended. Howard. 0: West Virginia. 0. On November 1st ihe Bisons journeyed to Wilberforce Their coming was hcaralded with much joy and many boasts One touchdown after a blocked kick was recovered which brought victory when the game was on the verge of becoming another scoreless game. The game ended Howard. 7; Wilberforce. 0. The long sought victory had been achieved. Our hopes brightened anew. Fresh from the Wilberforce victory, the Bisons journeyed to Petersburg. Va.. November 8th. At Petersburg they met a worthy foe in Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. It was a glorious struggle. Virginia Normal, although outplayed, refused to yield. Until the last whistle she fought bravely and gamely They shall not pass was her battle-cry. For forty minutes the Bison tried in vain to cross her goal line. The game ended in a scoreless tie. Howard. 0: Virginia Normal. 0. The Bisons had not yet tasted defeat, but the results of the games plaved were not very encouraging Hampton had not been met. ' !? «• 14 5 192S ---X- BISON H.

The game was heralded as the test before stripping for action for the Football Classic of the Year to be played on Thanksgiving day In this game the Bisons proved their superiority by making seven first downs to their oppenent’s two. When the pistol shot was fired ending the game, the ball was in Howard's possession on Hampton s one and one-half-yard line for a second touchdown. Repeated fumbles by the Bison fullback gave Hampton tlx score. A beautiful dropkick by Gunn did the trick Howard's score was made after gains which brought her deep into Hampron's territory A well-executed pass by McLean to Brown netted a touchdown. Payne added the extra point The last foe had been vanquished before tackling I incoin University, our ancient rival. I bis game had shown that the Bisons had strength and power Just before the annual classic the Bisons spent a week in developing new plays for the greatest and biggest game. On Saturday. November 22nd. the team left for their secret camp, where they remained until the morning of the game, which was to be played at the Griffith Stadium on the 27th. The Bisons and the 1 ions met before the largest crowd that had ever witnessed the classic It was a cold and drab day. a real football day. Neither team had yet tasted defeat. At the outset the Lincoln Lions started tlx ir onslaught Soon after the opening whistle they had gathered two touchdowns The Bison fought back valiantly, and thrice threatened to score. I he I ion was not to be denied I he Bison was unable to thwart his attack When the final gun sounded I in-coln had totaled 31 points to Howard's 0. The Bisons had suffered their worst defeat, yet in defeat they had stood forth gloriously Long after the warriors had left the field the Howard cheers and songs re-cchoed in the great stadium. A true Howard spirit was manifested. The game was featured by the brilliant work of the I incoln backfield men The spectacular running of Jazz Byrd thrilled even the Howard rooters The Howard warriors are not to be denied, for in defeat Brown. Drake. Sallic. McLean. Priestly and Payne stood out This game ended a season that had not been too impressionable. Two victories, one defeat and three ties was tlx Bisons' record. Although the mate rial was good, the team that represented Howard on the gridiron during the past season did not come up to our fondest hopes, but next year will tell a different story. � 17? A.

All of the members of last season's Varsity remained, and with the addition of several new men of Varsity calibre a bright season loomed ahead Coach Burr was optimistic, bur not boastful He drilled his boys carefully for the regular games. Because of the breaking of relations with the C. I. A. A., the schedule was somewhat altered: fourteen games were cancelled, since a ruling of the Association prohibited member schools from engaging in athletics with Howard. On Saturday. January 17. Coach Burr sent his boys against the strong and fast Morgan College team from Baltimore le was a fast, hard clean game: both teams appeared evenly matched. After constant see sawing of the score, the Howard lads finally shot into the lead, and remained in the lead until the final whistle. The score was 27 28 The next victim to fall into our hands was the crack Armstrong High School team in a practice game. 15-13 On January 30 the team went to Baltimore to engage the Morgan College team on its home court. It was a thrilling contest, perhaps the most exciting game of the year Morgan was out to even the series. At the end of the regular playing time both teams were deadlocked at 40-40. It was necessary to play an extra five minutes Coach Burr's proteges finally came out on top by the score 44-43. The Howard lads were now playing true to form a la champions but the big three—Wilbcrforcc. West Virginia and Morehouse—were to be met. On February 7th the Varsity traveled to West Virginia Institute. At West Virginia they met their first reverse by the score 40-3 3. This reverse was largely due to the limited number of nun taken on the trip. It was only possible tocary six men and the coach. Wilbertorce was to have been played on this trip, hut due to a misunderstanding the two games which were to have been played at Wilberforce and Cincinnati on February 9th and I 1th. respectively were cancelled 'The Howard lads returned home to prepare for the Acme Club of Cleveland. On February 1 2th our boys again met the enemy on bis home court. Seven men and the coach traveled to Cleveland to meet the Acme Club. Again we met defeat, this time by the score of 26-1 7. To Baltimore on February I 8th the team travelled bent on victory over the Baltimore scholastics. Howard was defeated by a score of 46-26. Three defeats in three starts shattered all the hopes of a brilliant season A victory was needed to rebuild the morale On February 23. the varsity took West Virginia College Institute into camp by the score of 16-15. h was an exciting fray; featured by close guarding. Two days later the fast Morehouse College team was met. Another reverse was added to the lost column. It was a hard fought struggle.

Howard is a mecca for good basketball players, but heretofore they have been taken by the fraternity teams. The fact that basketball is not considered a major sport has also hampered it as a Varsity sport It is hoped that the Board of Athletics Control will soon take action towards making basketball a major sport William Biff Lawton has been elected captain for 1925-26. Andrew Jackson has been elected manager Andy has already begun work on next year’s schedule. Howard expects to engage Juring the coming year some of the leading colleges of the hast and Canada. jA step forward was made this year when a junior Varsity team was insti luted at Howard, consisting of men who were not ripe for Varsity compcti lion The shortness of schedule prevented effective progress of this team They played three games, losing two and winning one.

Long, and several others are still on the team. The new material i looks good, especially “Doc” Robinson and Simpson, who is booked to fill the shoes left vacant by “Speed” Johnson. The pitching staff is bolstered, somewhat, by the addition of Roy. Johnson, and Slade. These men. together with the veterans. Long and Downing, should form a winning staff. Roy and Johnson are “Rookies,” but they look very promising. In Wharton wc have hopes of a fine back-stop, with a good arm. It is believed by all that this season will surpass that of 24. which was crowned with a victory over the crack Meiji team from the University of Lokio. Japan, after ten innings of play. 'I bis world famous team was defeated by the Howard lads by the close score of 4-f. Much of the credit of this victory is due to Coach Burr his strategy won the game. Coach Burr or “Johnnie. as the fellows like to call him. again holds the reins, with Captain Baylor as an able assistant. The first game is to he played April 4th. Because of Howard's withdrawal from the Cl A. A competition, the schedule will be somewhat shorter than heretofore. In all about fifteen games will be played On June 4th wc will again do battle with a team from the Orient. This promises to be the classic of the year. The Osaka Maimichi team is a composite team of the best college stars in Japan It is said to be a better team than the Jeijui. which means that we shall have a very exciting game. The latter team made a very enviable record last year during its tour of the United States and Continent. A successful season is our fondest hope.

Within the past four years Howard has built up teams which have stood head and shoulders above all track and field squads in colored Intercollegiate circles. Our relay teams are rated in the same class with the University of Montreal. Bates. Colgate University of Pittsburgh and Colum bia at the University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival Our relay team has suffered hut one defeat by a Negro Institution in the entire history of relay racing at Howard I he credit for accomplishing this miracle goes to the team which represented Lincoln University at the Howard Intercollegiate Meet on May 10. 1924 However. Howard avenged this defeat by taking the Lions into camp a week later at the C I A A championship at Hampton on May I7. 1924 Not only has the trophy donated annually by the Athletic Board of Control to the school scoring the greatest number of points at the Howard Intercollegiate Championships gone to Howard but the overwhelming majority of records made at these competitions are held by Howard athletes. An innovation was started during the Fall Quarter in the form of cross country racing On Friday. November 14. in conjunction with the Howard Hampton football game at Griffith Stadium a three-mile dual across-country race was staged over the streets of Washington between teams representing the above mentioned institutions. George Pendleton, a Senior at Howard, was the individual winner. Hampton placed two men in second and third position I he latter was followed by seven Howarditcs. who finished in a bunch. Early spring weather enabled the team to hit the cinder path early in preparation for the U of P Relay Carnival in Philadelphia on April 24 1925 More than a score of promising candidates have been working out under the watchful eye of Captain H O.

BISON 1925 Tke First Proposal for a Gymnasium at Howard The following letter was recently found in the archives of the Field and Alumni Secretary's office by Mr Emory B. Smith: Howard University. February 18. 1884. Gentlemen of the Faculty. Sirs: We. the young men and students of the University in general, believing that regular, methodical exercise is conducive to health, and feeling it a necessity have organized a club for the purpose of establishing a gymnasium. I o this end. we are desirous of obtaining the basement of Clark Hall with your permission. Done by order of H. U A C. Association. J. H Lawton. Committee. It is significant that this letter was discovered within a few days of the breaking of ground for Howard's new gymnasium and armory which took place on Monday. March 16. 1925. The new building represents a Congressional appropriation of SI 97.500. President Durkee. Dr. Scott and other loyal Howardites were prominent in securing this appropriation after strenuous efforts and sleepless nights. Page 19J H CLUB H.

March 10 1024. when Charles Doneghy. ex-captain of the football team, called to order an assemblage composed of those eligible to wear the V arsity H in any sport for the purpose of reorganizing the Varsity H Club. I'hc aims of this club, as stated in its constitution, are as follows: (1) I o foster good fellowship between H men. both graduate and under-graduate. (2) To regulate the wearing of the H O) To prohibit the wearing of all foreign letters on the campus. (4) To entertain visiting teams and prominent athletes. { � To encourage scholarship among athletes. (6) To encourage good athletes to come to Howard. (7) To generate tlx Good Old Howard Spirit.'1 The officers of the ' H Club are: Charles Doneghy. President: Thomas I. Anderson. Vice-President L. Baylor. Secretary: Dean Dwight Holmes. Treasurer: H. C Downing. Corresponding Secretary; M Clarke. Statistician: H. O. Bright. Sergeant at Arms. Under the able leadership of the above mentioned officers this club has taken a commanding lead in matters pertaining to the welfare of athletics at Howard. Many of the acts incorporated in the constitution of the Board ol Athletic Control have been inspired and sponsored by this group. On May 2, the H Club entertained the visiting athletes who took part in the Howard Open Championships among whom was DeHart Hubbard Olympic broad jump champion. The following is an extract from President Doneghy’s inaugural address: Since the founding of Howard University, on March 2. 1867. we have made little progress in the matter of athletic traditions, because there his been kept no written records which would connect up the past with the present. This has been a fact since the founding of Howard University by General O O Howard. From 1867 to 189 baseball and football were the major sports being financed and controlled by the students. Tlx students arranged the first Howard Lincoln Turkey Day classic in 189V Since that time three other sports have been added—track, tennis and basketball. In later years the administration took over the control of all student activities. The first varsity H was awarded in 1912 under the direction of Coach E. J Marshall In 1920 tlx Department of Physical Education was created with Major Milton Dean as its head, and Dr. E. Morrison as his assistant Major Dean was succeeded by Mr L L. Watson, in the winter of 192V Dr. Morrison retired after the football season of 1922. It is up to the 11 Club to write the scattered history to aid the progress, to perpetuate the names and achievements of those who have advanced the name of Howard on tlx gridiron, on the cindcrpath. on the basketball diamond in short, in every sport.

BISON 1925 =5€= Short History of the Post Graduate Studies in School of Law HE Course of Post-graduate Studies of the Howard University School of Law, after an eclipse of a quarter of a century, makes its bow again to the public, with Messrs. Ernest C. Dickson and William T. Patrick in the roles of trail-blazers. The course was first inaugurated with the Class of 1882. Of the real trail-blazers of that day. Charles H. Lemos. Leonidas A. Lewis. James 11. S. Parker and William H Richards, only the last named. Professor Richards, remains to reminisce of the men and deeds which filled the picture when the University herself had scarcely passed into adolescence. In 1 00 the two year baccalaureate course gave way to the present three year course, thereby putting an end in that year to the post-graduate work. Among the Masters who mounted the rostrum that year were Vice-Dean James A Cobb and Prof Charles S. Syphax. Now the increasing demand for an even broader (raining can possibly be bad in the present three-year course gives rise tc a new birth in the field of legal education and the course of post graduate studies of the Howard University School of Law takes its place in line To Messrs. Dickson and Patrick has come the distinction of being the pioneers in this new field of academic endeavor Pag 11 r 1925 BISON c= H. U. if =5f= Famous Sayings It seems to me E. C. J.

CALHOUN % THWART A CALHOUN earns the erstwhile distinction of having already been admitted to the Bar in the State in which he will practice. He is one of the successful ten out of twenty-seven participants in the West Virginia Bjr examination of March 11-12. Young Calhoun I' is a native of West Virginia and an academic and commercial graduate 'J of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. Before entering Howard he was recognized as a political factor, and even since he has been in the University, his advice and counsel have frequently been sought. He has often been called to the State for counsel and help whenever a big job was to be put over Last year he was a delegate to help elect judges to the Southern District of West Virginia. Mr. Calhoun is a fraternal as well as a political power. He is the legal advisor of the West Virginia Kentucky Bi State Association of I B P. O. E. of W., Chief Justice of the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity of Howard University, and he has held several posts of credit in the Knights of Pythias of his State. The son of A L.
