Dr. Edward P. Davis Dean of the College of Liberal A rts The College of Liberal Arts provides instruction and educational direction to six hundred students registered in it and also to approximately four hundred others registered in the Colleges of Education, Applied Science and Music. This instruction is given by a Faculty of eighty-six persons, all of whom are specially trained for their work. It aims through sound and thorough instruction to give adequate training for culture and scholarship as well as for vocations and for iater professional study. It is hoped that the student will become an active and interested participant in his own education, feeling a personal responsibility for the fullest development of his latent powers, and that he will develop independence of thought under the inspirational guidance of his instructors. And so his right living, courteous manners, correct sense of values, refined tastes and power of growth will give evidence of a cultivated, active and efficient mind. ur. The College of Medicine is one of the most important units of the University, since in all the United States there are only two medical schools with practically an entire Negro enrollment. Situated as it is, in the center of research and investigation of scientific problems, it affords singular opportunities to the Negro aspirant to the profession; and with its highly trained staff, rigid requirements and clinical advantages is able to graduate men of the highest technical ability. Freed men’s Hospital, one of the most completely equipped hospitals of its size in the country, affords clinical and operative advantages which can be secured at no other hospital in the country for this particular group. The new building, now complete, will afford even greater laboratory facilities, and a far more pleasing atmosphere in lecture and class room. Numa P. Adams, M. D. Dean of the College of Medicine

J Dwight 0. W. Holmes Dean of the College of Education From its very beginning, Howard has maintained a department or school for the training of teachers. From 1870 to 1900 it was known as the Normal Department. During that period, there were graduated one hundred and eighty-nine persons. In 1900 the Teachers’ College was established and continued until the year 1919 as the teacher-training division of the University. It was of collegiate grade. The School of Education existed from 1919 to 19-5. This organization was one of the senior schools” of the University, composing the last two years of collegiate work. The reorganization in 1925 increased the extent of the teacher-training activities to cover the entire four years of college, and changed the name to the College of Education. The response that the colleges and universities have made to this change of attitude is indicated by the development of schools and colleges of education and by the rapidly increasing enrollment of the students doing professional work in education. With this, the closing of the sixty-second annual session of the College of Pharmacy, it is fitting to mention the past achievements and future possibilities. Howard has always been in the forefront in pharmaceutical education. Its curriculum is well balanced, titling its students for their life’s work in tne most advanced and approved manner; making them competent not only as prescription-ists, but also as skilled analysts and pharmaceutical chemists. Howard graduates are constantly being sought after throughout the country. With the recent admission of the Howard College of Pharmacy to membership in the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, the future outlook for Howard and its graduates throughout the field of pharmaceutic endeavor is practically unlimited, and its graduates may well be proud of the degree conferred upon them by this great institution of learning.
