®fjc iBtsoti of erbicc 1928 3T s H DEDICATION In token of our loving appreciation and esteem, and to commemorate fifty years of Service, we dedicate this, (he Bison of 1928, to DEAN GEORGE WILLIAM COOK ) George TOliarn Cook HEN GEORGE WILLIAM COOK, a lad of nineteen, first entered Howard University he had “hitched his wagon to a Star. At five years of age he had been given up to die by the family physician, but at nine he was the lively “page for the Garnett League in Harrisburg, Pa., an institution whose purpose was to find teachers for work among freedmen. Perhaps it was then that the boy awoke to the race consciousness and caught the vision which have been so dominant in the career of the man. time he was twelve, George had become one of the recognized bread-winners of the family. He learned the value of the pennies earned by the errand-boy, the boot-black, the paper boy, and turned them over to the beloved mother who was striving to keep her family together. Not for long could this lad of restless but determined nature be held in the Pennsylvania town, where he had made friends among persons of both races. Some of these were far above him in wealth and wisdom. He had read books. He had become a thinker. Dame Fortune was beckoning—he followed her to New York City. Earning, saving, sending money back home, he was all the time growing mentally and spiritually. Nothing low appealed to him. All things big and fine challenged him. Edwin Rooth on the stage. Beecher in the pulpit. Henry Highland Garnett in the Sunday School and Forum—such characters fired his imagination and quickened his high ideals. No wonder he reached the Howard Campus eager, ardent, thirsty! The handicap of poverty was laughed at. Do you know why it is so many poverty-stricken but honest students have been able to borrow the la3t dollar from Dean Cook’s pocket? He has picked up chips on Howard Campus, built her fires, dusted her halls, but. too, he has been the companion of many of her trustees and presidents and has filled ably and loyally every position the University could offer him from student-janitor to acting-president. His sympathy is the outgrowth of experience. The story of Dean Cook’s service to the University and to the country during the World War is yet to be told. “The boys” must be recognized. The school must serve the nation. Right quickly Howard must offer her all to the government. When it was done, he worked day and night, night and day. Before reveille and after taps, he kept on. The very name and fame of Alma Mater was being tested. She must not fail. She did not. If George William Cook had turned his attention to business he might have been a millionaire. It is his greatest joy that he chose “the better part.’’ There have been times when it required more courage to live for Howard than it would have taken to die for her. He had that courage. He still has it. A business man! a church man! a familv man! but never forget—Dean George William Cook, the Howard man. Jforrtoorb HE glorious ideals of our Alma Mater thrill our hearts and stir our souls. I he University has pointed out new avenues of service, new powers ____________ of accomplishment, setter means of enjoying the richness of life. To portray Howard as a laboratory, training citizens for service; to relate the various activities of this instituton to the growth and development of a progressive nation; to give a brief survey of this college year for future reminiscence; these are our thoughts as we present this 1928 Bison to the students, alumni, and friends of Howard University. Howard University is serving the world. Contents Division I. Washington and the University Division II. Administration Division III. Classes Division IV. Organizations Division V.

Cobb, ’28 HISTORY is full of personages who strike the eye with great and illustrious deeds; who have come on the stage of action, played well their parts, and have gone the way of all humanity leaving the stage vacant for the next players. They sprang up out of the dust, as it were, to serve humanity—to write their names on the tablet of every human heart and live forever in the minds of men. We find, as we open the tomb of the past, that therein lies a career the like of which is not to be found in history; the career of a man intimately of the world, yet unsoiled by it; vividly in contact with every emotion of his fellows and aware always of the practical design of their lives; always lonely, brooding apart from all, yet alienated from none—Abraham Lincoln, pioneer, citizen, country lawyer, astute politician, and incorruptible statesman. Already, more than a half-century after his death, the mind of man perceives in this single-hearted champion of a moral idea, a figure to whom all sorrows and ambitions may be brought, a touchstone by which every ideal of conduct may be tried, a witness for the encouragement of the forlornest hope. If predestination plays any part whatsoever in the natural course of events in human life, then Abraham Lincoln was chosen by God Almighty to serve his country, his fellowmen, and to deliver from bondage his black brother, by unloosening the political shackles which bound the latter and placing his eyes in the sun so that he might see a new and brighter day. It might be said that the brightest jewel in Lincoln’s crown was his steady, uncompromising, unconditional opposition to slavery. This he saw to be the mother of treason, the author of secession, the source of collision, trouble and suffering, the cause of degradation and discord. North as well as South. If Abraham Lincoln, alive to the moral aspect of slavery, seized the first opportunity to strike it down as fatal to the principles of justice and liberty on which a restored or permanent Union must depend, insisting that H'ontlmifit In Mcrrtl nnnit IHilsiom “One science only will one genius fit. So vast is art, so narrow human wit '—Pope General ©liber ©tis $?otuarb erbice to a ftace A SOLDIER among soldiers, a statesman among statesmen. a man among men. with a principle that has elevated him in the hearts of his comrades and friends. He has left an indelible imprint upon the annals of the history of educational benefactors to our race. General Oliver Otis Howard was born in Leeds, Maine, on November 8, 1830. He was graduated from Bowdoin College in 1850, and from the United States Military Academy in 1857. In 1861 he became assistant professor of mathematics at West Point. During the Civil War he received many honors among which were Colonel of the Third Maine Volunteer Regiment and Brigadier General of Volunteers. He lost his right arm in the Battle of Seven Pines. For conspicuous bravery in this action, he received in 1803, a Congressional Medal of Honor. In March of 1865, he was brevetted Major General of the U.S.A. for gallant and meritorious service in the campaign against Atlanta. After the war he served as the Commissioner of the Bureau of Refugees. Freedmen. and Abandoned Lands from 1865 to 1874. It was during this period that General Howard conceived the Herculean task of the intellectual redemption of the four million Negroes of America. He founded a Howard University, that was a combination of the home, the church and the school. Today Howard is a well equipped modern university in a city where there are nearly one hundred and fifty thousand colored people, for whose equipment and uplift it specially stands. It is not only a city university, but a national university for twelve million people. It is the greatest educational center for the colored race in the Western World. The ideal of General Howard is more than realized. Howard is the laboratory out of which Negroes who are of great worth are turned to fit into every aspect of life as American citizens. It is an international Service Center, for graduates have gone to every State of the Union, to the Islands of the Sea, to Africa, Asia. Europe, and South America. General Howard retired from active service in 1894 and died in Burlington, Maine, October 26, 1909. The service wrought by General Howard is inestimable. The prophecy. “The good men do lives after them,” is amply fulfilled. For want of timely care Millions have died of medicable wounds.” I 3n jflemoriam OSCAR JEFFERSON WALDO SCOTT 1868—1928 A.B., Ohio Wesleyan University......................1895 A. M..

Tignor HE CITY that bears the honored name of Washington, within the Federal District named for the discoverer of America, is today recognized as the supreme combination of all that is desirable for a city designed to be the great capital of a great nation. It is al-ready the Paris of America in beauty and attractions. It is rapid-—ly becoming the Berlin of America in education and is destined to become the Rome of America in art. The reason for this growth is obvious. Washington is singularly free in its opportunity to devote its energies to enhancing its own stateliness and to furthering education and art, for it has never been a center for business or manufacture; it was built solely to provide a seat for government activities and a home for public servants to carry them on. The controversy over the location of the National Capital which finally ended in the selection of the “original ten miles square’' of the District of Columbia was bitter and long drawn out, lasting over seven years. About the first word heard of the question was in the fall of 1779 when some of the members of the Continental Congress discussed the advisability of setting up a capital at Princeton, New Jersey. Four years later, Kingston, New York, was offered as a site; Maryland offered Annapolis; New Jersey offered Nottingham Township; Virginia offered Williamsburg. Finally Virginia and Maryland united in an offer of land on the Potomac. A few days after the several bids for a capital site were presented, a mutiny of Pennsylvania troops occurred. The result was that Congress left Philadelphia and went to Princeton. The incident proved to Congress that the Federal Government must have a home of its own where it could have sole undisputed jurisdiction and where it could defend itself. The first Congress under the new government took up the matter and its second session fixed the site for the Federal District on the Potomac River. As soon as this was done, Washington himself took active charge of the wfork of its location. He finally selected the present site of the District of Columbia. The plan of the city was devised, as is well known, by Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, who had come to the United States in 1777 and had served during the Revolutionary war in the French contingent. When L'Enfant was notified of his selection as the architect, he visited the district, viewed the ground on horseback in company with Washington and immediately set to work to perfect his plan, which he had begun a few days before. Washington and L'Enfant in their planning for Washington left a framework for its development that the ablest architects and artists, now more than 100 years after the plan was drawn and its execution begun, have confessed themselves unable to improve. During the month of October, 1806, the government took possession of Washington. The arrival of the officials created great excitement among the 3,000 inhabitants. When the little “packet sloop” bringing the records and furniture of the departments and some of the officials was seen slowly sailing up the Potomac, most of the people of the city gathered on the river bank and gave the vessel a hearty welcome. One wing of the capitol was complete and ready for Congress which began its session in November. The city proved to be a very lonely place for the officials after their agreeable life in Philadelphia. One referred to it as “a city of magnificent distances set in a mudhole almost e iual to the great Serbonian Bog.” Satire and opposition could not prevent the city from growing. Its growth was very slow compared to what had been expected, but it was sure and steady for a number of years. In 1810 it had a population of 3,208 and in 1820 a population of 13,474. Jonathan Elliot says, “President Jefferson did much to further the prosperity of the city by procuring grants of money for carrying on the public buildings; he also gave encouragement to all the improvements brought forward during his administration. He caused Pennsylvania Avenue to be opened and planted with trees. President Madison was also friendly to the city but owing to restrictions on commerce and the subsequent war during his administration, little progress was made in the public works. But it was in the administration of President Monroe that the most extensive and valuable improvements were made in every part of the city and the public money expended on the national work with the greatest liberality.” On May 3, 1802, an act of incorporation was granted to the city of Washington which allowed the citizens to elect a city council, but put the appointment of the mayor in the hands of the President. The municipal form was continued until 1871 when Congress repealed the city charter and established a territorial government which remained until 1874 when three commissioners were appointed to have charge of the district. The government by commissioners under the supervision of Congress has been continued to the present time. In August 1814, the British landed a force on the Patuxent and marched on Washington. The capitol was burned. The soldiers marched to the President’s house and fired that and also other public buildings. They plundered stores and houses, destroyed the workshops in the Navy-yard and the fort at Greenleaf s Point and in various ways did a great deal of damage to the city. It was not until 1871, after the Civil War, that Washington began to be a beautiful city. The movement for improving it was started by Alexander R. Shepherd who afterwards became governor of the District. Shepherd, a man of indomitable will, determined that the National Capital should no longer be a comfortless, repulsive place but that it should become a metropolis in fact as well as in name and an object of pride and admiration of the people of the country. He secured the friendship of President Grant and awakened Congress to an interest in the affairs of Washington. An army of laborers were set to work to grade, to pave the streets and avenues, to cut down and remove banks and obstructions, to reconstruct the sidewalks, to set out thousands of trees, to develop parks, squares, and circles, and to do many other things which would improve and beautify the city. In a few years an almost incredible amount of work had been done. The old slovenly city had nearly disappeared. Fine business buildings, residences, churches, schools, and hotels were erected. One writer likened the improved Washington to a century plant set on the banks of the Potomac by the Father of his country which had now for the first time blossomed. Washington had become after three quarters of a century a truly magnificent capital. The city of Washington is located on the river front of the District and extends over a broad irregular valley up to the edges of a range of thickly wooded hills. The Capitol marks the center of the city and all the streets are laid out in right angles from it. There are four district sections of the city. The northwest is the most popular and has the largest number of people. The southwest quarter comprises the harbor region and contains brick, stone, and lumber yards and manufacturing concerns in addition to many streets of stores and residences. The northeast quarter is least developed and has the sandiest population. The southeast, strictly residential, is a very populous section. The streets and avenues are from one hundred thirty to one hunded sixty feet in width and have very broad sidewalks. There are eighty thousand shade trees on the streets. Pennsylvania Avenue is the great central thoroughfare. Its entire length is four and one-half miles. Extending from the Botanical Garden at the foot of Capitol Hill to Fifteenth Street is a broad park or series of parks known as the Mall. On it are located the buildings of the Fish Commission, National Museum, Smithsonian Institution, and Department of Agriculture. Of Washington’s system of Parks, Lafayette Park, on the avenue (Penn..) opposite the White House; Lincoln Park, on East Capitol Street; and Franklin Park at Fourteenth and K Streets, Northwest, are outstanding for their beauty. The squares and circles are also attractive features of Washington. They are all placed in accordance with the plans of L’Enfant, and with the addition of any fine statues serve to enhance the beauty of the city. It is the magnificent buildings of Washington, however, that lure thousands of visitors to the capital city yearly. The Washington Monument, the Capitol, and the White House are the ones of greatest interest to the sight-seers. The Washington Monument is a massive shaft of fine white marble with a pyramidal top. It is simple in form but has a harmony of proportion which has given it enduring beauty. From the base-line to the aluminum point which crowns the shaft, the height is exactly 555 feet, four inches. Us foundations, constructed to bear a weight of 21,120 tons, are constructed of solid blue rock. The structure itself is of blue granite and marble. Its tapering lines produce a wonderful grace and lightness and looking at it from a distance one can hardly conceive it to be the huge structure it is. The Capitol, centrally located, is a beautifully designed structure erected at an estimated cost of thirty million dollars. The central portico at the main entrance of the Capitol has twenty-four ponderous columns of sandstone erected in 1825. The great dome which rises from the center of the Capitol is of grand symmetrical proportions and has no equal in the world for classical beauty. The height of the building is 308 feet. The huge structure is visible from all parts of the city. The White House is built of sandstone. A large portico is at the main entrance and a circular colonnade is on the south side. From Pennsylvania avenue there are two spacious driveways, bordered with trees and ornamented with tropical plants. The grounds contain fountains, beautiful beds of flowers, and luxuriant lawns open to the public every day. From the south grounds can be obtained charming views of the Potomac and the distant hills of Virginia. Other buildings of interest include the Executive Departments of the government, the Congressional Library, the Lincoln Memorial and the various museums and art galleries. The fact that millions of dollars have been spent on public buildings and improvements and the fact that modern inventions overcome distance and make neighbors of all sections of the country practically assures Washington of ever remaining the nation’s capital despite efforts to move it. Therefore, as the years go by, Americans will look to Washington as the Mecca of thought in all phases. Washington is today a favored winter resort and even in summer it is preferable to many cities of the North, as the heat here is not nearly so great as that of New York, Philadelphia, and even Boston. This city in summer is a mass of foliage; every street having rows of trees which afford shade. Washington is the only thoroughly sylvan city in the United States. It was stated earlier in this article that Washington is rapidly becoming the Berlin of America in education. This statement is justified by the number of fully equipped colleges and professional schools located here. In addition to our own Howard University there are Georgetown University, George Washington University, American University, Catholic University, and many smaller and less prominent schools offering class “A” collegiate work. The public school system here is one of the finest in the world. Many students from adjacent states come into the District for their education because of Washington’s excellent school system. Visitors to Washington carry home with them vivid impressions that last a life-time for they have sensed the very soul of America, the land of liberty and justice for all. It is an inspiration. One cannot look upon the scenes where the future destiny of the nation is being decided without feeling that one has touched the very pulse of our government and felt its living throb. As a city beautiful Washington is unsurpassed. Here, indeed, is hallowed ground, trod by every president of the United States— the immortal George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and all the famous and gifted statesmen with whom America has been blessed. It is America—the spirit of service and sacrifice, the vision of the future—expressed in marble and granite, bronze and copper, (lowers and trees. 0 wonmsMLiay $ ■ t ( o s William B.

This day, which a few years back seemed j to be so far in the distance, has come altogether too soon, that is, for those upon whom we expect to practice. It was just yesterday that we gathered together for the first time, in October, 1921. There were sixty of us, and I might say, a group rather well equipped for our task, there being thirty-six degree men, the largest number in any class up to that time. Shortly after school opened, we organized—since that is general custom—and selected Clifton Nelson as our first president. The class got along fairly well and soon learned that the study of medicine was no tea party, and I think that quite a few of the boys learned to use Gray’s Anatomy as a pillow, more or less. Well, any way, we ame through the year in fairly good shape, and left for various points to pile up a fortune for the next school year. Oh yes, 1 forgot to say that we gave a couple of “hops” and got beat at football by the sophomores, 13-0. In the fall we gathered together again, broke as usual. We were shy about ten men. but took on three, making our total number fifty-three. The sophomore year was not so bad. Nothing in particular happened, but by the end of the term we were pretty tired, that is. of seeing one another. so we all went away hoping to have better luck than we had had the previous summer. October again;—broke, again. Lost one man during the summer and picked up six in the fall, making a total of fifty-eight. This year we began to see something in the dry stuff we had been trying to learn during the previous two years, although Dr. Ecker kept us in such a panic we hardly knew where we were most of the time. The hatchet fell in May, but somehow, only three were caught. We treated the seniors to a prom— mustn’t leave that out. We are fifty-four strong now, and intend to graduate one hundred per cent—the faculty being willing. We have done quite a bit of legislating this year. The only thing of importance being a “bill ' forbidding any member of the class to write a psycho-analysis of himself. It didn’t mean much, because some of the fellows did it anyway. All in all, we are rather well equipped, and should acquit ourselves well in whatever community we locate. Howard H.UttHI) ALLtN, A.B. University of Southern California Bos Angeles, Calif.

Stanford ARLY IN THE AUTUMN OF 1925, bubbling with enthusiasm, high ideals and aims, this class of 29 invaded the fair portals ol Howard, determined to set a code of our own that was higher and better than any before. At first, we were homesick and sad; old memories kept coming back to blot out the new—memories of our last days in high school, poignant with the realization of dreams come true. But soon came the class rushes and football games, and with them was born the love of Howard. Jumping into the midst of things, we fought a hard fight, though much to our chagrin, we met disappointment and failure on every hand. This only gave us a greater determination, and we promised each other to come back with greater determination in our sophomore year, bigger and better and ready. S we did. Now is nearing the end of another college year that has left upon us the imprint of its passing, and as we look back we can remember each hour that we spent, each thing that we did throughout the past year. The last of our Autumn quarter, 1927. found us seriously facing a difficult problem. Glenwood Jones was forced to resign the presidency of the class, and Stephen R. Stanford was chosen to guide the class’s destiny. Throughout this year, we have been rather successful—our motto being: “If it can be done, the Junior Class will do it.” This has been our code in all endeavors, and we are attempting to write history with the passing of this class. Our class officers are as follows: Stephen It. Stanford.................

Glenwood Jones, Theodus Conner. Baxter Don Goodall_______Student Council Members On looking back over the days that so recently have passed, we wonder whether we have at all times really given our best to Howard. We try to sum up the things we have accomplished—the things we have gained. It would be rather difficult to enumerate all of them here, but we do want “ye olde seniores” to know that above all in the years to come we will remember and hold sacred the friends that we found here, the ones that we loved here, and the ones that passed on, leaving us behind. Too. we want them to know that we intend to work hard and do well those things left for us to carry on to completion. We shall always love and revere our Alma Mater and do all in our power to transmit her honor and her glory, not merely, not less, but greater, better, and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. 5 opi)omore Class ftistorp 75 V Jfrcfifjman Class ijistorp By J. B. Duncan, ’31 IN THE FALL OF ‘27, several hundred so-called “peanies” entered the University. Through the aid of the Student Council, the class held its first meeting for organization. The following officers were elected: Lyman V. Williams, president; Katherine Richardson, vice-president; Gladys Fitzgerald, secretary; Eleanor Fanston, assistant secretary; Ralph Jones, treasurer; J. B. Duncan, historian and journalist; Hilton, custodian. Though termed young, green and foolish, the freshmen laid the facts before the faculty and upperclassmen of going forth, overcoming with courage and zeal, and banishing all obstacles and every vestige of gloom. The freshman class has proved to be more prospective than classes of previous years. It is customary that such newcomers would yield to the mighty hands of the sophomores. But this year the freshmen got the “spirit” and also proved victors in the various extra activities of the University. They began early in the fall quarter by defeating the sophomores in football, swimming, basketball, debating and other sports. Since that time they have taken part in carrying the “Freshmen to victory by showing the real qualities of sportsmanship. On March 3rd, the class gave its annual “prom.” which proved to be the most brilliant campus affair of the winter season. The dining hall was decorated as never before; on the wall hung the huge beautiful red and white banner emblazoned with the lettering, “Class of 31.” The class has been successful in carrying over all projects of the year. It moves on, determined to make a better Howard by breaking down all powers of darkness that may overshadow each, and do fully every duty toward erecting statues of liberty in the hearts of young men and women that the light of intelligence may permeate their hearts and inspire them to nobler deeds. As the class has progressed, it will progress; and in the years to come, each may do something for the benefit of Howard and so cause it to reign supreme in the hearts of many and actuate their very beings and inspire them in the relief of the darkness that overshadows them. ■0 0 £fjt tubcnt (Council By James F. Goodwin. ’28 t a $ OLLEGE STUDENTS are free only in so far as they are dominated by ideals of self-development and social welfare. Student government is an expression of this state of mind. In 1920, on request of the students of Howard, the faculty granted student government and created a Student Council. At present, the council is composed of a president and twelve members—four from the senior class, four from the junior class, and two each from the sophomore and freshman classes. The function of this organization is to develop in the student body wise and intelligent self-control; to preserve and regulate beneficial customs and traditions of the University, und to establish such new ones as promise to be for the welfare of the students; to represent the students as a whole in all their relations with the officials—faculty, trustees, alumni, and similar bodies, and to have charge of such extra-curricula activities as may be decided upon by the faculty and administrative officers of the University. The Student Council has put over an exceptionally effective program (' for the academic year, 1027-28. This council has laid the foundation for the establishment of a co-operative book store; it has successfully made the extra-curricula fee compulsory; it has made it possible for “The Hilltop” (the student paper) to come out regularly; it has given rise to the beginnings of a closer relationship between faculty and students; it has assisted in raising the entrance requirements; it has done considerable work in rejuvenating the faculty; and it has done much to promote “The old Howard Spirit.” In other words, this council has tried to carry out its functions as laid down by the constitution. The present Student Council regrets the fact that it will he unable to solve all the problems now facing Howard; that it will he unable io put over certain vital programs. It is the hope of this council that the future Student Councils will carry out unfinished programs and will work toward the best interest of Howard University. In order that this type of Student Council may exist at Howard, successful operation is necessary. Three conditions seem necessary for successful operation of student government: First, the student body must elect officials who can be depended upon to act in the interest of the college—a qualification which may exclude the athletic hero, the brilliant speaker, and the social favorite—excellent as they may otherwise be—and which may be found in some less conspicuous fellow whose distinguishing characteristics are those of quiet firmness and thoughtful attention to whatever business he takes in hand. Power, good nature, breadth of vision, fearlessness in standing for the right—these are the requisites of the college leader. Second, there must be willingness to be governed. If there is continual demand for unreasonable liberties, or if a minority tries to upset the established order because it cannot have its own way. only failure can result. Third, there must be co-operation between the faculty and the student officers. The former must resign authority w'hilc standing ready io help in dealing with particular problems. It is important to note that authority must be surrendered even at the cost of occasional erratic use. If student officials feel that a hand is over them, constantly ready to interrupt proceedings unless they give satisfaction, they will manifest a lack of earnestness and enthusiasm. Counterwise, they must remember that they are responsible, not simply to the student body, but also to the college authorities and to the community at large. In matters which vitally affect the welfare of the college they may need to seek the advice of older and more experienced persons. “Unless students can govern themselves as individuals they can hardly do so in combinations.” GERMAN CLUB was organized in 1919 by Dr. E. P. Davis, bead of the German department, with the purpose of arousing the interest of the students in German literature, as well as promoting their facility in speaking and understanding the German language. All students who have studied or are studying German are members of the club. They, together with the co-operation of the professors of German, have made the bi-monthly meetings most interesting and stimulating. The value and help received from this organization is inestimable to the student of German. ZDcr Dcutsdjc herein VjOUIm- Lnshley.. Willlstim I � fton. Harriet Ferguson M.

The two most outstanding features of this year’s program were a lecture by Dr. Charles E. Benson, of New York University on “Mental Hygiene”; and a lecture by Professor H. H. Long, Chief Examiner.

During the past school year. Kappa Sigma, under the skillful ■ -1 guidance of its president and his efficient staff, has laid the foundation for a brighter future in its relations with other institutions in regard to debating. For the first time in the history of Howard University, this society presented Howard University against a white institution, namely, Northwestern University, in Inter-Collegiate Debate. The subject of this debate was “Resolved: That the principles of the Baumes’ Act of New York be enacted in the several states.” Messrs. Robert E. Dan-dridge and Robert A. Burrell defended the negative side of the question for Howard University. Other institutions which Howard debated were Fisk, Union, Lincoln, and Atlanta Universities. Howard’s decision over Fisk University was unanimous. The officers of the Kappa Sigma Debating Society of Howard University are as follows: Howard A. ....................... Prc� i tc� t Itobort E.

It is with this view that the Caribbean Club makes its contribution to the college annual. Like many another enterprise it is to the future rather than to the past that eyes must be directed, still in the natural sequence of things, events cling one to another with such tenacity as to obliterate distinctions and make obscure the point where the past ends or the future begins. Still as a unit which has grown up with this institution for well over a quarter of a century, the Caribbean Club feels that judging by the past it can face the future with confidence that its members will continue to strive to maintain the high standards of intellectuality and morality which this university has endeavored to hold up as a light to its students. It is noted with much gratification that not only are the foreign students matriculating at an earlier age than formerly but also that they are coming better prepared. This year's enrollment showed that there were nearly two hundred foreign students pursuing studies in both the collegiate and professional departments of the university, and our graduates scattered throughout the West Indies, Central and South America and other lands still continue to give a good account of themselves. It should be regarded with enthusiasm that here at Howard the opportunity exists for the development of an international spirit among Negroes and, if not yet, then it must eventually be recognized, that if the Negro shall come into his own his voice must carry beyond the range of his immediate listeners, and for this reason a closer understanding and a greater determination to see the other man’s point of view should be encouraged. It is with the spirit of sincere optimism that the Caribbean Club offers its annual tribute to Howard University confident that the future even as the present will see her as the centre of a guiding power uniting and directing the destiny of the Negro in both hemispheres.

The officers and cabinet of ten members were elected in March of 1927. and have been successful in sending a representative to the Tenth Quadrennial Stu-J_ dent Volunteer Convention held in Detroit in December. With . their help, a well-appointed recreation and reception room has been fitted out in Clark Hall. Jointly with the Y.W.C.A., the Wednesday evening prayer meetings, formerly conducted by the School of Religion, have been taken over and excellent progress has been made. Innumerable other achievements have been realized under the able leadership of Stephen Stanford, the president. The purpose adopted by the cabinet was to make Christian ideals real in university life by means of a higher and broader outlook on life, especially national, international and interracial problems; by an unselfish and friendly attitude toward others; and by the development of wholesome recreation. 1 o ; Y.ML4.

It had its birth in a unique conception. It was the aim of the founders to organize a Greek-letter fraternity wherein all the ideals of true brotherhood, scholarship, culture, patriotism and honor have been realized and prevail. The fraternity has been a national organization since its founding. Today, there are scattered from coast to coast at the leading universities and in the principal cities over fifty active chapters. The membership of the fraternity has always been a matter of quality rather than quantity. Each year the fraternity through its many chapters, carries out its national movement, the “Guide Right Movement.” It seeks to guide youth to a successful realization of the highest aims in life. The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal, the official organ of the fraternity, is the only monthly publication of a Negro college fraternity in the world. Xi chapter is at Howard University. It was founded on December 17, 1020, by seventeen prominent Howard students. Since its founding, Xi chapter has contributed from its membership men who have been active in every line of student activitity in the University. The “Four Horsemen,” as the fraternity basketball team is known, have won the championship in the Inter-fraternal League for three years. Archie A. Alexander is Grand Polemarch. J.

In all the leading universities and colleges of the country, chapters of this organization now exist. Alpha Chapter enjoys the distinction of obtaining the first sorority house granted by the University. Ivy Day, inaugurated by Alpha chapter, has been adopted as a University custom; and we are able to record that Rankin Memorial Chapel and the Carnegie Library received their covers of ivy from a sprig planted on Ivy Day. Our sorority is proud to have among its number the following honorary members: Miss Jane Addams, Dr. Anna J. Cooper, Mrs. McDougal, Dr. Sarah Broun, Mrs. E. E. Just, Mrs. Kelly Miller, Mrs. J. Stanley Durkee, Dr. Otelia Cromwell, Mrs. Maude Cuney Hare, and Mrs. Ilunton. SI pi vi Chapter- f ELTA SIGMA THETA sorority was organized in 1912 by a group of women at Howard University. These women had for their paramount object in organizing the sisterhood the development of womanhood through culture, virtue, personality, and leadership. The ninth annual convention of Delta Sigma Theta was ______held at Howard University during the Christmas week. 1927. All of the active chapters were represented. The delegates left the convention more inspired than ever before to perpetuate the aims and ideals of Delta. Among the honorary members of the sorority are Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the first colored woman to serve on the board of education in the United States; Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham; Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, founder of a girls’ training school, and Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert, who has gained international fame as a concert singer. Alpha chapter was granted a pledge club this year for the first time. Under the guidance of Soror Harriet Ferguson, sponsor of the club, a number of enthusiastic pledgees are striving to reach the goal. Alpha chapter is looking forward eagerly to “May Week.” Elaborate plans are being made for its observance. A radio program and a public meeting in chapel are planned. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell is scheduled to speak on the radio program and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs will speak at the public meeting in chapel. 0 9 9 ( 9 9 V 9 A (5 9 9 9 ( 9 A V 9 9 9 9 9 9 Virttffr lUllBl© UilOQ V I o V o ? ? ETA PHI BETA sorority, the youngest of the Greek-letter organizations for Negro college women, was established in January, 1920. At the end of eight years, after having experienced all the hardships which present themselves to any new endeavor, this sorority stands triumphant and proud of its twenty-two chapters. The annual movement celebrated each year by every chapter of Zeta Phi Beta is Finer Womanhood. Through various programs and literature, the sorority wishes to emphasize that a woman must be “fine” in every capacity in which she serves. This year. Alpha and Beta-Zcta chapters presented Miss Selma Borchardt, legislative representative for the Federation of Teachers, at their public meeting held in Rankin Memorial Chapel; her subject was, “A New Woman for a New Day.” Other features of the week included an ‘at home” at the sorority house and a round table discussion. Richmond. Va., the home of Nu chapter, entertained the Conclave, December 26 to 31. 1927. Ruth T. Scruggs, grand basileus. presided. She was re-elected because of excellent accomplishments as executive during the preceding year. Helen E. Wilson, basileus of Alpha chapter, received the scholarship of one-hundred dollars for her exceptional scholastic record. This award will be made annually to a member of each chapter (in succession) who merits the scholarship. Grayce Collins and Violet M. Harris were delegates. . Social affairs this year included: a halloween party; tea for new students; dance in honor of Soror Mosebv. basileus of Rho chapter. Norfolk.

To his greatest surprise forty-five men responded to the call. The most serious setback at the beginning of the season was the loss of Hilry Thomas, the husky star tackle, but Bob Miller, the nationally known All-American guard, filled Thomas’ tackle berth with stellar honors. He had the advantage of most of his opponents all season, because of his weight, aggressiveness, speed, and abundance of experience in the line. Captain “Biff” Martin held his own at center, with ex-Cap tain Vernon Smith, tackle; Rainey and Kelly, guards. Later in the season “Little Crow” Hawkins came into the lime light and held his ov n as a star performer at guard. The loss of Campbell and Simpson, star wingmcn, was felt keenly. However, “Pete” Tyson, the punting back was a new find and “a godsend, to the Bison. He proved to be one of the most outstanding ends seen on the gridiron this season. Jack Coles, the All-American quarter, was late getting back to training and was injured in the first game. He never fully recovered until late in the season. Jack Young, and Cecil Hinton were the two strong and hard hitting backs on the reserve list. Hinton received an injured knee which kept him home from the “abroad trips.” Of the new finds. Hayes, a freshman from St. Augustine, showed up well as one of Captain Martin’s understudies at center, and Coach thinks he will have the job cinched for next year. John Harris, a sophomore, did well as a reserve wing. Cornelius “Mash.” an experienced end, held down the left wing. Lightfoot, of Virginia Union, was another reserve that sought stellar honor at tackle. THE SEASON OPENS By the time the team was in the pink of condition and two days before the first contest, the entire squad was cut from the training table and training quarters by order of the Board of Athletic Control, backed by the President of the University. However, through great difficulties they played the first game as per schedule. They fought hard, yet the morale was gone, and they had lost that drive that had declared them “Champs” of all in 1926. They lost to Bluefield by a score of 18 to 7. After the team and Student Council could not come to any agreement with the Board of Athletic Control, they turned in their uniforms and went on a temporary strike which lasted 10 days. The second game of the season with Livingstone College was cancelled. Bison Return to Form and Go Abroad After breaking training for more than a week, the squad returned to redeem themselves and put in three of the hardest days of training a Howard squad has done in recent years. The fourth day consisted in tapering-off work. ) 5 k A V 4 0 Snake Ewell a % . HOWARD TIES MOREHOUSE Within four days of training1, the varsity was re-organized, a different set of plays mastered and they were off to Atlanta to tackle the hard Morehouse team. Morehouse was in mid-season form and confident of victory because of recent developments on the “Hill.” But the smoldering “Howard Spirit” and the extra “drive” burst into flame that surprised the Maroon aggregation. A Morehouse march in the last quarter aided by a heavy penalty on the Bison gave Morehouse a touchdown. loiter in the same period, .lack Coles intercepted a Morehouse pass after the Georgians had worked the ball down to Howard’s 5-yard line, no doubt saving the day. Pete Tyson, doing the punting, performed in creditable style. Frantic in his search for wing material. Coach Watson seemed to have slipped up on a discovery. “Snake” Ewell, a 1926 back, placed on a flank proved the best of the Blue and White experiments this season. Ross made two touchdowns from the 4-yard line before Howard was conceded a score. When Morehouse tried for the extra point, the official ruled no point, making the result Howard 7, Morehouse 6. It was afterwards decided that Howard’s right end was offside and Morehouse was awarded the point, which made the final score Howard 7. Morehouse 7. HOWARD LOSES TO WEST VIRGINIA Before a crowd of nearly 7000 persons, the battle between Howard and West Virginia Collegiate Institute went to the Mountaineers by a score of 7-0. Johnson, Institute center, broke through and backed Coles’ attempt to kick and recovered on Howard’s 28-yard line. This, the first break of the game, turned out to be the deciding one. The thrusts of the Howard line availed naught, but a forward pass from the fingers of Branch fell into the waiting arms of Nash, who dived across the goal line. The try for point failed. In the second quarter the Bison uncorked an aerial attack which gained them 40 yards in the first three plays. Nash punted out of danger. Five consecutive first downs, during which Howard marched from their 25-yard ribbon 54 yards down the field to the Institute’s 20-yard chalk mark, were useless when Jack Coles elected to call a forward pass and it was intercepted by halfback Hundley. Nash again kicked the ball from its menacing position. Branch and Nash were the outstanding Institute players, while Coles and Tyson performed creditably for the P lue and White. FISK TIES HOWARD The Fisk Bulldogs and the Howard Bison battled to a 13-13 tie in Nashville. Fisk had the better of the contest during the first half and Howard was the aggressor in the last half. Howard kicked off and Robinson (Fisk) brought the ball to his 20-yard line. A forward pass failed and a fumble on the next play forced Fisk to kick. Yost kicked 60 yards. Payne missed the ball and it was recovered by a Fisk player. They made a touchdown, but it did not count because of a technicality three plays before. Given the ball on Howard's 8-yard line, Fisk tried two passes and both failed and Howard had the ball on its 20-yard mark. Payne rushed the ball off right end for live yards and Young gained 5 yards and a first down with a true buck. The first half ended Fisk 13. Howard 7. During the second half V. Smith ran the ball for 6 yards. Payne made a first down. He carried the ball 3 yards and the next play made a first down. In the succeeding plays Payne made considerable gains. The Fisk line held and Howard failed to complete a forward pass. Fisk recovered the ball, but received an offside penalty. Yost kicked the ball as the game ended Howard 13. Fisk 13. “Hoss” lios5 “Tick” Smith HOWARD DOWNS WILBERFORCE The Howard University football eleven, with renewed fight and drive, downed the Gold and Green from Wilberforce in the final few minutes of play in one of the hardest gridiron struggles ever witnessed on this campus. This marks the fourth victory for Howard in as many years. The 'Forceians fought with all their fury but the Bison was not to be denied and the ’Forceians were trampled under the Bison hoofs, 6-0. From the opening whistle, the Howard machine looked like the machine of old, with Captain Martin, Tyson. Young and “Ache” Payne bearing the brunt iff the work which resulted in weakening Wilberforce’s line. Much credit is due our own “Pete” Tyson who held down the right wing against the much feared six-footer Mendenhall of the ’Force. “Pete” played a stellar game all the way through, although he received a broken nose in the early part of the struggle. At the end of the first half the score was 0-0. Howard having a slight advantage offensively and defensively. With the opening of the second chapter of the struggle, Jack Coles. Howard’s all-American, replaced Payne as quarter-back and generaled the team with decisive credit until he was removed via the injured route. “Ache” Payne again took the helm and directed his men until the final moments of play when he called on ••'rick” Smith, the broken field ace, who neatly tucked the pigskin under his arm and. by pretty broken field running, broke through the Wilberforce secondary defense. “Tick” stumbled and fell, but quickly re-gained his footing to make the most brilliant run seen in the Bison Bowl this season, placing the ball behind the line and gaining the victory for Howard by a score. 6-0. This play by “Tick” Smith, which was declared legal in every respect by the four officials, displeased Wilberforce. After the referee refused to call the bull, the coach of Wilberforce’ team withdrew his men, and the game was awarded to Howard by the forfeiture score. 1-0. The officials were A. K. Savoy, referee: Haley G. Douglass, umpire; Benjamin Washington, head linesman; and E. B. Henderson, field judge, all members of the Eastern Board of Officials. Quarterback •The Galloping Ghost” pan Brown HOWARD 0, ATLANTA 6 The Howard University football team was defeated at the Howard stadium. Saturday, November 12, by the squad from Atlanta University by a score of 6-0. It was a hard fought battle from beginning to end, and aithough the record of the Atlanta boys during the season indicated that they would win by a much larger score, it could be seen that the teams were evenly matched, and it was a toss as to which would be the winner. For three quarters the teams battled up and down the field, neither team possessing the necessary punch to carry over. The Howard boys lost several opportunities to score, having worked their way almost co their opponents’ goal only to lose the ball. It seemed as if there was to be a 0-0 score, but in the fourth quarter the boys from Down South uncorked a series of fake plays and delayed passes and pushed the ball over for a touchdown. They failed to register the extra point. The Howard Bisons made eleven first downs for a gain of 180 yards, while the Atlanta boys made ten first downs for a total of 130 yards. Atlanta University excelled in the passing game, completing five out of thirteen attempts for a gain of 52 yards. Howard completed one pass of five yards. Both teams sull’ered penalties, Howard losing forty yards and Atlanta thirty. Ross, Hawkins. Miller, Vernon Smith and Tick Smith were the outstanding stars for Howard, while Whcdbee, McPherson, Mays, Clay, Smith, Simon, Slaughter, Moddy, and Captain Ford bore the brunt of the work for Atlanta. HOWARD 26. MORGAN 6 A rejuvenated Bison team upset the dope and smeared Coach Drew’s highly touted Morgan College eleven all over the Howard stadium to the tune of 26-6. The score is not indicative of how fiercely fought the game was. It was, without a doubt, the best game since the West Virginia game last year. Howard kicked off and held Morgan for downs, and immediately began an offense which terminated in “Snake” Ewell crashing over for a touchown. The try for the extra point failed. With “Snake” Ewell, “Tick” Smith, and “Hoss” Ross, the “Three Musketeers,” ripping through the line and racing around the flanks, Howard soon added another six points. Try for extra point failed. The score at the half was Howard 12, Morgan 0. In the third quarter Morgan came back with plenty of drive and a series of trick plays which temporarily baffled Howard. Toward the end of the quarter they got a break. Pinky Clark tossed a forward pass to Phil Williams, left halfback. The ball bounced out of his hands into the hands of another Morgan man who raced 10 yards for a touchdown, their first and only score. Howard began another mad drive that Morgan could not stop. “Dan” Brown and “Tick” Smith, assisted by Ross and Ewell, carried the ball over for two more touchdowns. The stars of the game were Ewell, Ross, Smith, and Hawkins for Howard; while Clark, Phil Williams, and “Big Bov Thomas were best for Morgan. HOW HOWARD WON FROM LINCOLN Crushing line attacks in the first two periods and an intercepted forward pass in the final quarter gave Howard the victory, a 20-0 triumph, over Lincoln University in the football classic of the year. Fifteen thousand gridiron enthusiasts, flaunting the Blue and White of Howard and the Orange and Blue of Lincoln, gathered in the spacious stands to witness the colorful struggle, an annual combat between the two universities. Howard’s triumph gave them seven victories against ten defeats in twenty-three years of gridiron rivalry. The other six contests ended in stalemates. Victory to Howard placed their football season on the high road of success. Lincoln crept home to nurse their injuries in dark defeat. When it is burnished on the football shield of 1927 a 20-0 defeat, they might get some consolation out of the fact that the Lincoln eleven were outweighed sixteen pounds to the man. It is not astounding, then, that a Howard line and end running attack in the first two periods spelled havoc in the ranks of the Orange and Blue. Almost from the opening whistle or after a series of penalties had been inflicted on both sides, the juggernaut of Howard swung into action and marched for a touchdown. Captain “Biff Martin intercepted a Lincoln forward pass on his own 35-yard line and instituted a march which carried the ultimate victors 65 yards for a score. In exactly nine plays the ball was run over for the first score. “Tick” Smith, a streak of lightning, pried open the jamboree with a slice at tackle for six yards. This run started the machine in motion, “oiled the works.” as it were. Lincoln’s line had been tested and found wanting. Too much Howard ! Ross was sent at a knife-like opening in the right side and through the gaping wound in the defense he tore to the 48-yard line. “Tick” Smith sprinted around left end for ten more yards, chilling the Charleston notes in the throats of the Lincoln rooters. Another short skirmish and the pigskin was on the Lincoln 40-yard mark. Ewell, until now the silent member of the “ball carrying trio” spoke up with a 15-yard run to the 25-yard mark. We said “ball carrying trio” to refer to the Howard offense, because the Jilue anil White eleven played eight men in tin line on the offense. Two more yards were clipped off when Smith skidded through a mud-hole for two yards. Ross then electrified the Howard rooters and electrocuted the Lincoln partisans with a 23-yard scamper over the goal line. With the changing of goals Howard began to function on all cylinders and in a dozen plays pushed over another score. The march really began in the latter half of the last fifteen minutes on three dashes by Ewell and Ross which gained fifteen yards and put the ball on the Lincoln 44-yard mark as the quarter ended. On the first three smacks at the line the “Three Musketeers,” Ewell, Ross, and Smith, peeled off 25 yards to place the oval but eighteen yards from the Orange and Blue final chalk mark. Here the defense stiffened, and, harassed by a 15-yard penalty, Howard was on the 35-yard line, third down. 25 yards to go. Ross dropped back, hurled a forward pass straight as an arrow with the speed of a bullet, into the waiting arms of “Tick” Smith, the “gallopin' 9 I ) $ ghost. who was downed on the 10-yard mark. Still two yards t«� gained. Tick” made the yardage at center. It was all over but the shouting and the same flash took but two plays to splash through for a second six points. For variety, Ewell knifed the line for the extra point. Captain Martin finished the game as it began and snared a forward pass on the 55-yard line. But this time the catch was made in the Lincoln territory and he dashed the thirty-five yards to the goal line after stiff-arming a would-be tackier. The whistle sounded soon after Howard missed the drop kick for the final point. The thi m'ering Bison herd was entirely too much for the ronrimr Lincoln Lions! q 9 ) ) I ) ) ) ) ) b b 9 9 “Bunny Butulrunt Manager Lofton Coach Burr TRAM UKCOKD Vets ........ Morris Brown.

Among the ten letter men who reported were Captain “Meiji” Monroe, the Baltimore slugger, probably the best short stop Howard has had; Johnnie Codwell, the “Texas Flash”; Jim Walker and “Tick” Smith, unexcelled tlychasers; “Les” Braden, third baseman; Fred Slade, southpaw; Babe Jefferson, catcher; Earl Bridges, manager. The first game was with Storcr College of Harpers Ferry in the “Bison Bowl.” Storer took the Bison’s scalp, the score being 9-6. Monroe, Lomax, and Codwell starred for the Bison. By the Easter recess. Coach Burr had his team well groomed for the southern trip. On April 20. they met Livingstone College at Salisbury, N.C., and tasted their first blood of victory by netting 9 runs to Livingstone’s 4. On April 21, the Bison roamed into Sumter, S.C. to haggle with Morris College. They lost by a decision of 7-4. On the next day, the Big Bison nine found themselves in Durham, N.C., ready to wage a contest with Durham’s State College but they were completely smothered, 12-5, and how! On the eve of April 27. Howard laid siege to Chester. Pa., and waited until the following day to do battle against the ancient foe, Lincoln. For nine long innings the contest waged, but when the smoke of the big guns had died away, the old Blue and White was hoisted to celebrate the 10-8 victory. The men started the tramp homeward but stopped over in Baltimore to capture the Morganites by winning a 14-4 game. On their own camping ground they entertained Morris Brown of Atlanta for two games. Morris Brown took the first game, 6-4, but the Bison claimed their own and won the second game, 4-3. And what a game it was! Lincoln came next, seeking revenge. They got another performance repeated by special request. They went home with 8 runs to our 14. Jim Walker was captain-elect for the next season. Taylor will manage in 1928. “Woofin” Bill f 9 9 t 0 ( c 9 ? 9 9 9 tEracfe = 1927 HE GREAT WORK of Coach “Charlie” West, of all-American football note and especially famed as an Olympic track star, was instrumental in producing one of the strongest teams on the cinders that Howard has produced in many years, this team attaining quite uncommon heights. Coach West, with six letter-men, went through a good season in spite of the lack of competition and of the best equipment. The Record Howard Wins Baltimore Marathon The Baltimore marathon held at Baltimore, Maryland, was won by Howard’s team of distance men, with our men—George Parker, Montague Cobb, and John Harris finishing second, third, and twelfth, respectively, and providing a team average of 17 points which was the best. For this victory the team was awarded: the first prize team trophy loving cup, campus and newspaper acclaim. The members received, separately, a handsome gold medal. Parker, who finished second, pushed the winner. Carroll, of the Vocational School of Baltimore, led all the way and only by great experience did the winner finish first. Cobb, formerly of Amherst, put up a fine race, finishing third, close on the heels of the winners of first and second places. Relay Team Places Third at Penn The relay team invaded the Penn Relays and finished third, being paced by Bates College and Rutgers. Carrying the baton for Howard were Langston. Bridges, Thorne, and Hill (captain). All members of the team received bronze medals. TTie order of the finishes was: First. Bates College; second, Rutgers; third, Howard; fourth, Springfield Y.M.C..A.; fifth, Buckncll. Time, 1:32. Annual Open Championship Meet With great diligence, Coach West groomed the trackmen for our annual open championship meet, which was held Saturday. May 14. in the Bison stadium. The Bisons with a total of 91 points won; St. Bona-ventura College was second with 20 points, and Storer was third with 9 9 9 points. Special features of the meet were the superb exhibitions of Cecil Cooke, the 440-yard star of Syracuse; Gus Moore, mile and two mile star of St. Bonaventura College, and Charlie Majors, high jumper of the last-named college. Features of the Howard win were: Andy Smith’s win of the 120-yard high hurdle event from J. Ottley, of St. Bonaventura by a close margin. Witt’s win of the two mile run from the favorites, Carroll of Baltimore, Cobb and Parker of Howard. Witt was very close to Gus Moore, the exhibition runner. Hainsworth’s win of the high jump at 5 feet 10 inches, with Tartar second. “Father Time” Bright’s win of the 880-yard race, holding his ow n after many years.

The biggest meet of the .season, to date, was staged between the team representing the Baltimore Y.M.C.A. and the varsity team representing How-. ard. Howard won, the score being: Howard 17, Baltimore Y.M.C.A. 16. Other meets of the season included the Intra-Mural swimming meet, the first event of the fall quarter, and the first annual Freshman-Sophomore swimming meet. Spirit and interest was well manifested in these meets, and the competition was keen. With the introduction of swimming into the Department of Physical Education, many new stars have been created and more men have come into the limelight for recognition in sports, and particularly in aquatics. Charles Tarter undoubtedly heads the list with his superior performances 4 0 I 0 ) 0 $ r in the Intra-Mural, Freshman-Sophomore and the Dual meets. Morris and Harris were contestants for second honors. Both are beautiful divers and powerful swimmers. Harry Webb has been a coming star in the 50 yards, and deserves a great deal of praise for his strong swimming ir. tne Dual meet. The above mentioned men have been far out into the limelight, but we should not forget that such men as Pete Tyson, the diving champion, and Jones, a Washington boy, have proved their calibre in every race entered. “Buck ' Smith is coming to the fore for many honors in diving. Next year he should easily move to the front of the list. AQUATICS for WOMEN Aquatics for women as yet is still embryonic, but we are still looking forward to the rounding out of four stars by the middle of the fall quarter; namely. Misses Marjorie Baltimore, C. L. Tignor, C. E. Rhetta, and Sylvia Labat. AN INTRA-MURAL MEET Instructor Pendleton conducted a swimming meet recently which proved to be successful. Herbert Morris, with four first places, was easily the star of the meet. In the 100-yard free-style race, Tarter put up a great fight and nipped Morris at the tape.

Two afternoons and two nights per week were devoted to this work and the team members worked hard and faithfully. It is worthy of note that the matches following the first one showed a great improvement. Most of the team are youngsters in college and it is hoped that the year 1928-29 will produce a championship team.

Stcal (Cbucation Jfor Women IN SPITE OF THE FACT that Physical Education is as old as civilization. few people have realized that it plays an important part in one’s life. Man’s very earliest desire to perfect the body, discipline the mind, and mold the character of the young by means of special forms of physical activity can he traced back to a pre-historic age. When we study the ancient customs of China. India. Egypt, Babylonia and Assyria, the Phoenicians and Cartha-genians, the Persians and the Hebrews, some interesting facts arc brought to our attention. But if one wishes to learn something of the modern forms of Physical Education and its history, it would be well to begin with Greece. There we find gymnastics adopted as a part of education, supported and administered by the state—the great festivals at which the chief aim was to show physical excellence, and later sculptors produced ideal human forms which have never been surpassed in beauty. Dr. Fred Eugene Leonard has given us a splendid volume on “The History of Physical Education.” Dr. R. Toit McKenzie writes the following about this book: “This History of Physical Education came appropriately early in a series of books designed to place Physical Education on an equality with other more strongly entrenched parts of a general educational system. The soul is indeed dead that docs not react with a generous glow when reading of the difficulties overcome and the work accomplished by the heroes of any field of endeavor, and what could be more inspiring than to have set forth the conquests and defeats of those patriotic spirits whose lives were given to upholding the health and fitness of the youth of the world, throughout the ages, as a guide and inspiration to us who have these same problems to meet at the present time.” Physical Education has had an interesting development in colleges for women. Miss Harriet Ballentine of Vassar, makes the following statement: One of the first difficulties I noted was how very little exercise the student would take if left to her own inclination. A small minority were enthusiastic, but were poor in practice, and a large number were interested only in seeing others work. This condition has changed for the better, in recent years.” Teachers in other women’s colleges make similar statements. This can be accounted for, however, when we realize that women received no form of physical training up to 1842. Boys were given all of the training, mainly for military purposes. Mount Holyoke, as early as 1865, had a gymnasium hall, and Dr. Dudley Sargent in 1881 began training teachers, both men and women. In 1903, a Normal School for Physical Education was developed for women. Many other schools of Physical Education were developed in America Mrs. M k% ItKEVES Ai.i.r.x Pirwtnr Women's Athletics A Girl’s Gym Clnss about this time, some for women only, and others for both men and women in co-educational schools. Howard University, like other schools with departments of Physical Education, has had many problems. Three years ago young women had their practice work in the basement of Miner Hall and their theory work in the assembly room of the same building. Classes were conducted in this manner for less than one year. In previous years they must have held their physical training classes under similar conditions. The scope of Physical Education at Howard apparently has not been fully understood, perhaps because the term “Physical Education” is not clear to many. “Physical Education” is sometimes regarded as identical with the hygiene of an individual’s life. Others would limit it to more or less systematic exercises of the neuro-museular systems in order to promote and conserve the perfect functioning of the entire human mechanism, to make it what Huxley called “the ready servant of the will,” and to develop correct motor habits. A usage in conformity with the present conception of man’s nature as a unit, is that which sees in measures insuring bodily health and the right kind and amount of motor activity, an avenue of approach through which the whole individual may be influenced for good in mind and character as well as in body; it employs the word physical to denote the means and not the end. Probably no one would contend that education in general was identical with hygiene in its broader meaning, which takes account of mental and moral soundness, and there seems no better warrant for making Physical Education synonymous with hygiene in the narrower sense. Obviously something more than health is in the mind of one who adopts the new definition given above, and improved co-ordination is not the only goal in sight. The aims of Physical Education for women at Howard are as follows: 1. To develop group activities, especially those that call for a large number of people. Out of such activities, habits of friendliness, obedience, self-sacrifice, co-operation, loyalty, capacity for leadership, fair play and all that it implies in good sportsmanship. 2. To develop self-confidence, courage, self-control, mental and moral poise, alertness, good spirits and initiative. 3. To promote organic development, normal growth, strength and endurance, a good self-respecting carriage of the whole body, grace of movements and the practicing of all fundamental health habits which lead to a life of high efficiency. In order to carry out the above aims, a large variety of work would have to be done; thus the students have been taught the following things: hockey, tennis, swimming, soccer, track athletics, progressive exercises and apparatus work, esthetic dancing, basketball, hygiene and anatomy. Certain traditions have been formed in the last two years: an annual May Festival; an annual Winter Carnival and Track Meet. All students have an opportunity to participate in these demonstrations and up to the present time all of their exhibitions have been very big successes, due to the young women who proved so beautifully their interest by working hard in every way to make them a success. At the past Winter Carnival over four hundred young women took part and were happy in doing so. Not until one’s attention has been drawn to the variety of gymnastic exercises, sports and health courses in Physical Education, does one realize how much has been done in a few years at Howard for our young women. College women are beginning to recognize the true relation of the body and mind and to value physical education as an aid to the best intellectual activity. There is also an increasing appreciation of physical beauty to be found in bounding health, grace of motion, and dignity of bearing. It is to be remembered that Howard University has a well equipped new gymnasium. A large number of men and women students are interested in majoring in this field of work. A new course will be offered in September, 1928, making it possible for students to receive a degree in Physical Education, and there is a great need of teachers throughout the country.

As a rule, all the members of one faction admit the same tastes and preferences, and the brothers exchange wine, women, and wise cracks freely, for they believe that variety is the spice of life. Each frat usually constitutes itself an authority on certain campus situations, and only by following its dictates are ordinary co-eds or outsiders considered as being eligible to the favored few. The parents and intimates of the fraternity men feel the difference; there is apparent at once a certain air, a certain poise and sophistication incurred by tho donning of a tiny jeweled pin. The powers that this pin confers upon its wearer are indeed wondrous to behold. He thinks his parents are often failures: he is an authority on social ills, their cause and adjustment. He may have brilliant ideas about the world and be loaded with theories as to everything going on, but he won't offer any constructive ideas involving actual physical labor. The fraternity has often been pointed out as a producer of social liabilities, but of course, this idea presents a matter of controversy. The “frntor” is known by his languid blase manner, his “what’s-the-use attitude? Nothing arouses him, nothing amazes him, and he impresses one with the idea that he has never been up against it. Of course lots of times he has to calculate—to take his watch or suit to “Uncle”— but so often the incentive in this case is not hunger or bare necessity but a “dizzy or a “formay”. But the •Trat” contributes an indefinable “something to the campus life, to the “stick-to-it-iveness” and harmony of the group. It offers a fellow an incentive to be outstanding, and without our “frat spirit there would be an absence of so much of youth's radical expression. And so there goes on the endless controversy of the fraternity; and who can say, what’s right or what’s wrong? The real test comes at twenty-one, when dad and the coin step aside. Will his “frat” be a help or a hindrance? Keep in mind, folks, his education stopped when he put on the pin! OUR SORORITIES Along with co-education, caine the sororities, and the author of these crimes has never been apprehended. At present, Greok-letter sororities spring from institutions, full grown, as Minerva sprang from the head of her illustrious father! These organizations are composed of various types, no one standard being adhered to by a single sorority. Some of the inferior one have few intelligent members— therefore they are unable to keep up in the social parade and are then -obscure! Membership in these cliques is obtained through various attainments, or pretenses, or upon a basis of savoir faire and personal appearances. Occasionally an intelligent and all-round girl slips by to the chagrin of the vigilance committee, or perhaps the serious-minded soror and the socially ambitious soror agree not to blackball their respective candidates, and so the intellectual and the butterfly go through together. Having an eligible brother helps one a lot, too. Every fall, the bidding for pledgees starts, and now is the time to hear of scandal, past, present and future. Weaknesses arc brought forth—rattle of sorority skeletons are heard and information is proffered to anyone about any member of one sorority by any other member of any other sorority! The pledgees are now initiated into the high ideals and standards of the sororities, and from now on pick their courses with an idea of securing “snaps and “cinch” courses rather than an educational background. So it goes—and the girls bind themselves together to protect and cherish the organization as long as the sorority doesn’t interfere with personal liberties and ideas, or until they are educated, or till marriage or graduation doth them part!

We are now living in a generation that never saw Freedom and Slavery facing each other. It has become fashionable to divert public attention from the inciting cause of a bloody war, lest the truth may offend some sensibilities or mar some reputations. We are told that the war. on the part of the South, was a patriotic attempt to vindicate the rights of the States, and on the part of the North, a war for the Union. In the interest of national harmony we must shut the skeleton. Slavery, into the closet and turn the key upon it. politely ignoring historical facts. A part of this popular perversion of history is to make Lincoln appear indifferent to slavery. and willing to save it if he could save the Union. So shall the reverence paid to his memory help to cover the ancient guilt, and justify the new bondage of the oppressed race. The psychology of Abraham Lincoln, with all his practical and homely traits, pre-eminently a man of the spirit, is unexplored. It would task philosophy or science to fathom the depths and trace the conflicting currents of this phenomenal character. Yet of all historic personages he least can be understood without looking into his soul. A man of complete sincerity, the motives of his life are there, and there they must be read. No wonder he left his family, as it were, almost dependent; for of his time, strength and money he spared nothing, so long as he had any to give for the benefit of others. Notwithstanding the fact that his flesh has returned to dust, and that his tongue is forever silenced. Lincoln still serves humanity by lending his name, which today is a fountain, out of which rush many waters, all serving to extinguish the fire of hatred in human hearts and bring about the cementing of national and internal ethical agreements. consecrated with the principles of equity.

Greetings to tfje J2cxt CDitor When your printer is howling for copy, And your Board are all down with the flu. The photographer cries, “Sun or no pictures,” And the rain simply won't take the cue. When nobody’s paid his subscription, And the printer wants cash in advance. When your contract reads, “Forty-six hundred,” And the College Board says, “Not a chance.” When the seniors find grinds are a nuisance And decide not to write any more,— Our advice is, pray don’t he down-hearted. Just remember it’s happened before. So demand all your copy by August, And all of your pictures by fall, And if you don’t get them till April,— Why, be thankful you got them at all! 0 0 0 0 0 a gutograpljs mutogrflpljs I
