I). C.. on Mon day. November 20. 1 866 It was the proposal of Dr. D. B. Nichols that the institution should be named lor the ' American philanthropist the commissioner of the Freed men's Bureau, the true friend of the downtrodden and oppressed of every color and nation of the earth. General Oliver Otis Howard Fhc first years of the existence of Howard University were years of excite ment and untold disappointment. It appeared that the great project of Negro education would fail But the marvelous faith of its supporters and the un ceasing labors of its friends helped the University to remain intact and enter upon a period of steady, although slow, growth I he University opened in a rented frame building with four students on May I. 1867 The finances which sustained the work of this decade, begun on that date, were received purely by accident. But by I87i the Irustees received aid from the Frcedmen's Bureau which, with the help of that money gained from the sale of much of the original land cleared the University of debt and started an endowment tund But the panic of IX7J materially influ enccd Howard University and necessitated the reduction of salaries and the closing of several of rile University departments. However, in 1877 the Um versity recovered, and began the period of expansion that in 1 is culminat ing in a constructive program of vast proportions. I he first president to inaugurate the period of development and expan ‘ion was Dr W Patton, whose reorganization of the University was con tinned by his successor President I I Rankin With the administration of President I hirkield. who succeeded Dr John Gordon upon his resignation, pursued a policy of material expansion. Ihs policy was further continued lay ten 7 II E II I S O 10 3 I Dr Stephen M. Newman and Dr. .1 Stanley Durkee. who were elected to the presidency in turn It was during the administration of the latter I‘ 18-1926. that the collegiate and professional divisions of the University were reorganized with advanced standards, the secondary schools of the University were dim inated entirely, and a new dining hall and gymnasium-armory stadium erected. On dune 0. 1926. Dr Mordccai Wyatt Johnson was elected to the presi denev of the University. Since the beginning of his administration the Medical School Building has been completed and a Medical School Endowment Fund has materialized Other physical features cf the University have been added: Three women's dormitories are now under construction: plans lor a chemistry building have been completed, and appropriations have been authorized towards the construction of other plants as well as the grading and beautification of the campus. Dr. Johnson has not limited himself to the improvement ot the physical plant, but has been engaged in a survey of the internal organization of the Uni versity. enlargement of its faculties, and further standardization of the oduca tional resources The School of Law has been reorganized and established on a full-time dav school basis, the conditions acceptable to the American Association of Law Schools, thus giving Howard University tin only first class law school for Negroes in the United States. The College of Dentistry has been organized and transformed from a three year school with a low entrance requirement and operating under a vice dean to a four-year school based upon two years of college work as entrance requirement and with an enlarged faculty that brings it to a state of efficiency which fully meets the requirements of the State of New York, the most exact ing State in the Union in regard to us dental requirements. I he faculties of the under graduate divisions have been practically dou bled, thus relieving a terrible strain upon the professors and making possible more effective relationship between faculty members and students During the administration the Congress ot the United States passed a measure authorizing annual appropriations to the University. Previously the Federal appropriation was generally held up on a technicality The present support of the University is supplied by appropriations from the Federal Government, student fees, income from endowment and philan throptc contributions. In the fifth year of Ins administration Dr. Johnson secured $1,760,000 from the Federal Government and more than $2,000,000 from private philanthropy. Numbered among recent gifts are $2 0.000 from the General Fducation Board toward a half million dollar Medical F.ndowmcnt. a like amount being contributed by alumni and friends of the University: SH0.000 from the Gen flti'tn II E III S O I 9 3 I era I Education Board for the equipment of the new Medic.il Building: $200,000 from the Hubert estate for the development of the University program of Medical Education. $20,000 from Mr Julius Rosenwald for research in Zoo-logy. The courses of study are divided into several departments. College of Liberal Arts. College of Education. College of Applied Science. School of Music. School of Medicine, including Medical. Dental and Pharmaceutical Co! leges. School of Religion and School of I aw Each college is classified as an A college in its respective group. The College of Liberal Arts offers curricula leading to degrees of Bachelor of Arts. Bachelor of Sciences. Bachelor of Science in Commerce and finance. I he College of Education offers degrees of Bachelor of Arts, and Bachelor ol Science in Education. I he College of Applied Science offers degrees in art. architecture, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, and home economics. I he School of Music offers degrees of Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music in Harmony The School of Religion offers Bachelor of Divinity and Bachelor of Theology degrees.

As to extra-curricula activities, the University maintains several literary organizations and debating clubs for students. I here are a number of societies (or encouragement of dramatic classics, music, history, education, religion, lor eign languages, chemistry, and finance and commerce. The Student Council is the controlling body of all student activities. I he following fraternities have chapters at Howard University. Lor college men Alpha Phi Alpha. Omega Psi Phi. Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Beta Sigma. For college women, the following sororities: Alpha Kappa Alpha. Delta Sigma I beta and eta Phi Beta During the sixty-lour years of existence Howard University has steadily grown and has rendered increasing service to its constituency and society in general. I he quality of its instruction anil character of training have led to full recognition of its educational work by leading educational authorities. I bis recognition is due in part to the vision of the founders and in part to the excellent leadership that has been maintained throughout its existence. It has fulfilled the wish of its founders, and under the guidance of the present administration it bodes well to reach greater and untold heights. lu tluf ADMINISTRATION r ii e n i s o v 9 :i i DR MORDIiCAl WYATT JOHNSON.

Mr. C W Davis, has progressed far beyond expectations. It has enjoyed unprecedented growth. The department has grown from an insignificant cog to a dynamic force in the University family. The growth and expansion of this department is due largely to the efforts of Mr Davis and the very able faculty that serves this branch of our University life. This new interest that has been created in Physical Education may be attributed to the fact that the students are allowed to elect the kinds of recreational activities in which they are interested for fulfillment of the Physical Education requirements I he Physical Education Department, under the guidance of Mr Davis, is the largest in the history of Howard University, and if we may judge the future by the past it bodes well to exceed even itself in the years to come MRS. MARY R ALLEN HE Department of Physical Education for Women is under the able direction ot Mrs Mary R. Allen. Since her incum bency Mrs Allen and her assistants have exerted great effort in bringing the de partment up to its present standard. Many graduates of this department are holding respon sible positions at various institutions through out the United States Mrs. Allen has been able to place many of her graduates personally This department is probably the youngest in the University family, and we may well expect to see it take its place with the much older branches in a few years. fuvnfy-orv 7 II E H I S O V 9 3 J Dk Ali i n L'fiiVrtun I’huwion Student Health at Howard University I HI: Division of Student Health a unit of the University devoted to the care and preservation ot the health ol the student body as a means of not only creating the greatest effectiveness on the part of the under-—graduate during his academic life, but as an educational and health care service to the end of producing individuals physically and mentally strong and intelligent regarding the conservation of their health The student group is examined periodically and followed up closely to insure the correction of all uncovered physical defects This procedure is aided by an extensive early consultation care with the aim of clearing up all minor complaints in an effort to prevent serious disability The student is encouraged to report for medical care early in the event of illness. These types of medical care undoubtedly keep the student best able to pursue University life with the least handicap of loss of energy, the greatest contentment, and the minimum distraction due to health problems. Besides the actual conservation ot life, there are the fewest possible davs lost from class work The athlete is given superior health care in the protection of the participant against the stress and strain of sports to the utmost and allowing only those phvsicallv able to take part. Campus sanitation and hygiene is given attention through this health agency. TIk community cannot be neglected in the preservation of health of its members. PERSONNEI I:. A Allkn.

Mancc m Ms L MAN activity in life's battle is not eternal, but transitory. Those who contribute anti shape the affairs of the social order today must surrender their places to those who in their turn must follow them. And so society advances further up the road of civilization in proportion to the contributions which each generation makes towards its development We are nearing the commencement ol life’s battle. We must take our turn in the activities of life By our preparation we fit ourselves to perform the task which is before us Are we fits or misfits ' The answer to this question will determine whether or not we have spent these years of preparation in vain The contributions which we make to the world will determine whether or not wc are fits or misfits I he world is before us In it there is a function for all of us. Our life is valuable and complete in so far as we perform the function set for us There is nothing more beautiful than a complete human life of service. There is no joy that can come to an individual than to be able to look back over a complete life of service No greater good can come to the world than for every individual to contribute to humanity a complete life of service. Generations of men and women come and go But the efforts and con trihutions which each makes are their bequests to the world. I.ct us make our lives lull of worth-while achieving, so that when the time comes for us to give up the torch there will be no question as to our place in the galaxy of the world’s benefactors. The world awaits us with us heartless rivalries its hasty judgments, and its engrossing difficulties May our preparation so fit us to meet life's problems instead of comealing them torty-tu n I II E II I S O V 9 3 I Class History TTg-'ARI.V in tin fall of nineteen hundred twenty seven, six hundred eleven Tfc youngsters, lull of nerve, pep and vitamin IV found their way into v{, the open arms of our Alma Mater In spile of the vigorous reception - accorded us by our lords and masters, the innumerable sophomores, we found there a sweet repose. Yea. sweet' liven as the nectar from love s cup. We first became acquainted, as a group, on the second day ol our arrival on the campus. The oracle of the Administration Building the bulletin board —had most sagaciously informed us that we were to report to the chapel at eleven a. m. prepared to listen to some ardent senior effervesce about how much joy it gave him. as a representative student, to welcome us to this mighty stronghold of erudition and to receive final instructions about completing registration. I bus at the appointed hour all roads led to the chapel How vividly do we recall that Dr Johnson was then only a sophomore in administrative residence. and that we. while worshipping him as an educator, looked askant at his athletic policy We also recall the President of the Student Council, a most dignified individual, who most benignantly acknowledged our entrance into Howard University How will we ever forget our Big Brother Dean West, who on this dav told us most emphatically that the sophomores couldn't ha c us as the faculty had forbidden such? We were then told that wc were the fortunate few among countless others who had clamored for admittance to the “Capstone ol Negro education. and we were admonished to disregard the more frivolous social aspects of college life, to gird on our armor, and to bravely persevere to the end. Wc were dismissed with a “Bless you. my children. ‘ and with the inspiring words still ringing in our cars. Oh. the terrors of that first registration Verdant girls and still more verdant boys ran hither, thitlk-r and yon. each trying to fool the other into believing that he or she was busy and that the nightmare of schedule making was almost completed Now we ran into the main building trying to catch some elusive departmental head, then over to the gym to consult some sym pathetic advisor. How wc pouted, fretted and fussed (’tis said that some of us cussed I when these ill-advised masters of knowledge tried to rope us 'n on Chemistry I. Physics I and Zoology 9. Then followed the terror of getting signed up on the class roll First we ran all over the main building, only to find out that the person wc sought was over in the gym ’ After finding him we were sent back to the chapel to get a dean s signature. his scurrying all over creation would not have been so bad bad it not been for the two or three hours wait in a line until our turns came, and then onlv to have doors dosed right under our noses. Thus alter four hours we had done onlv one thing and that was irrelevant. titrly-lhriN' T n E it I s o :i 1 With many a sigh we observed professors gather up their appurtenances and in spite of the fact that they looked as it they had just been drawn through a clothes wringing machine, sweep grandiosely down the halls. But we knew that in the morning that we would not have so much trouble, ami also we would not be quite so tired. Our prognostications were to no avail, for the panic that slept that night was a greater magician than Houdini While we had been running all over creation like a chicken with its head cut off the forces of the sophomores had been augmented by a number of degenerate juniors and not a lew moron seniors who thought that laws were passed to be evaded and they thereby set about defying the edict of the faculty against hazing. Tlx cards were stacked against the male members of the class from the lx ginning In the first place, our arrival was untimely in that the previous year Howard had the greatest football team that ever wore the Blue and White: consequently the entire student enrollment had increased to he ‘'ibidem” with the potential championship of the incoming season. 1 hen. too. each member of tlx frosh class thought the other an upper classman, and instead of trying to meet we tried to avoid meeting. I hose of us who had brave hearts unpretentiously skulked into Clarke Hill and went to tlx dining hall to dinner on that first day. Those of us who went to the shows in town either of the first nights bad much to regret upon returning to tlx campus, as all entrances were patrolled by groups intent upon teaching the dogs' then places. Many hats ves. they were worn in those days) were lost, as well as a great deal of breath in attempting to elude our fervent pursuers Chose ol us who stayed in the dormitory remember until this day how we felt in getting H's cut into our “good moss with “Double O clippers. I he fair damsels of the class hardly fared any better, as they were pre vented from using cosmetics We. the male members of the class, thought surclv that wc had the most homely set of femmes that first quarter, hut as lime wore on we found that what our girls lacked in looks they made up in enthusiasm We were astounded one week-end to learn that all the girls of the freshman class were under restrictions because they had dared to fight back at some smaller number of sophomores who attempted to intimidate them. Wc. the men. did not sit back and lx ld our hands either, as we had quite a few sophomores and one or two juniors walking around the campus with heads that were trying very hard to give an external as well as an internal appearance to a billiard ball. During those first two weeks of that first year the drug stores did a land office business in liniment, for many a panic sported a sore back, sore arm and sore leg as a result of ' rustling up trunks. So much for the frivolity and sorrow of the first year. As is the usual custom, the Student .ouncil organized our class When tlx meeting was called about one sixth of the constituency of the class re sponded. Oh. the joy of the elections of that first year. Except for little groups that happened to hail from the same locality, we were not bothered with cliques No politics were attempted, and the election truly represented the candid opinion of that serious group assembled for the purpose of banding together in a fellowship that would be enduring As a result the following people ortv-t'mii r n k n i s o i o :i were elected: Lyman V Williams. President: Katherine Richardson. Vice President; Gladys Fitzgerald. Secretary. Ralph II. Jones. Freasurcr; I dgar Bcanum. Chaplain, and William Gist. Sergeant at-Arms. Alter accomplishing this the Student Council officers left us to our late We set about drawing up a constitution, a committee was appointed, with Ralph Jones as chairman and the following members Mercer Mance. F.ciward Taylor and Katherine Rich ardson. The constitution was drawn up. presented, and accepted by tlx- class We then decided that the class colors would be red and white We organized our forces, and in the annual freshman sophomore football game we were rhe victors, vanquishing the sophs to the tune of 6 to 0. I he fight that followed the game will long remain in the minds of many as one of the classic free-for alls on this campus. Near the latter portion ol the last quarter of the game the sophomores began to depart from the stadium We cheered their departure as we thought they were running because they were whipped How ever, when we heard the final shot of the gun announcing that the freshmen had won the game, we (the girls included even though they were on restrictions they came to our game) acted as if pandemonium had broken loose We also cheered when some high class moron i senior) informed us we had to take Clarke Hall as the sophs had barred all entrances to it With a roar of rage we descended upon the entrance leading tn from the historic l ong Walk. We were met by a stream ol water from the fire hose Again and again we rushed, only to be washed away Fen brave parities withdrew from the mob storming that door to confer. I hey decided to rush the other door that led into the dormitory Fortunately the few sophs that had been guarding it had left it to help at the other door. We rushed into the building and up to the second floor and came downstairs in back of the sophs protecting the door They were more than surprised when we opened up with our hose, and as we had them between two forces, wc proceeded to beat them down All this time not a monitor could be found and Mr and Mrs. Hop kins apparently thought that discretion was the best policy, and so they were not seen Our good Big Brother West also was conspicuous by his absence. Fhe freshman-sophomore debate found us as well prepared, and our forensic potentialities were displayed by Mance 1 avlor and Whitfield- Wc lost the debate by a count of the judges. V2. but Mance won the cup as the best speaker Our next signal success was in the realm of society We gave a ' From that year that few classes have equalled, either before or after, and we did not go in debt to do so. Over five hundred guests attended, and the palm-enshrouded orchestra tried to outdo itself in our behalf Our beautiful new banner graced one of the walls of the dining hall, floor lamps gave soft illumi nations that added to the colored lights above No less personage than Dr Johnson—tlx- President of tlx- University- -looked on from the balcony Thus we closed a most fruitful year. After a summer of bell hopping, waiting, pullman pottering and numerous other diversified activities, we returned with heads a little larger than the previous year. We immediately began to display the fact that we had deteriorated mentally by hazing everything that looked like a freshman. We continued this outdoor sport until ten of our members were sent home I his further fmtU’fii’i 7 E It I S O 193 1 lessened the percentage of the class, as only three hundred nineteen had returned. I he Julians. Colemans and other demagogues had clipped the wings of quite a few of our fledglings. I his year when we reorganized we found that only a faithful few would come out to meetings, and they were prompted to do so more or less by new Internal and sororal affiliations The question of who was the better man for a position in the class meant practically nothing. Our different claims and aspirations made us a house divided against itself. Men heretofore considered hail fellows well met ' became “chicken overnight because they dared to pledge to the fraternity of their choice Women who a few months before caused certain hearts to flutter and enthusiasm to burst forth anew suddenly appeared on the horizon bearing new titles. “Biffers.’ just because she had determined to cast her lot with a certain sorority or perhaps did not want to loin one at all .So at this critical stage of the game we found that although a year of tribulations had banded us together into what we thought would he an indestructible fellowship, personal animosity had destroyed this with one blow Elections revealed a new administration had arrived I he successful politicians were: Ralph H. Jones. President Katherine Richardson. Vice-President Gladys Fitzgerald. Secretary. Leroy Clay, Treasurer David Beasley. Chaplain, and LcRoy Swift. Sergeant at Arms. I vents of this year rolled along smoothly. We first completed our intimi dation of the p.vnies' until we were assured that we were the cocks of the walk We then proceeded to lay away all opposition of Mr. Booker I Presi dent of the freshies) and his cohorts. So efficient were the monitors that very little hazing was done Then too. quite a few of the male members of the class had suddenly developed a “chicken complex, and refused to support the projects advocated by the class Of the five per cent of the entire class that was guiding the policies of the class, fully sixty per cent were girls The Prom this year was not as elaborate as the preceding year, due to the lack of funds Many of the classmates who had participated the year before felt that the Prom would be lust another dance, and therefore did not choose to come up with $1 0 class dues and SI 0 Prom tax. I he bur den of the whole affair was borne by some seventy-odd people, and the proceeds from the cloak room helped pay the orchestra for the night's work During this we had a change of administration For the spring elections Ralph Jones refused to be a candidate for re election. Mercer Mance was elected to serve as President the remainder of the year LcRoy Clay was elected Vice President, while Jones was elected I rcasurcr As juniors we retained our numerical strength almost intact, there being three hundred and twelve of the original class enrolled Up to this point Mance and Tavlor had represented us on the Student Council. Our represen tation was increased this year and as a result Mance. Taylor.

Think not of the past Know the future It is not well to seek it always, but you are one of the favored few and may see what shall be Follow me. He followed The voice led him through a labyrinth of winding statrs and twisting ways until they came to a huge room, wherein burned a candle t the farther end of the room was an immense mirror This, said the voice is the magic mirror Look carefully He looked The mirror changed There appeared before mv eyes a magnificent office upon whose doors there svas engraved in gold letters: Mercer M.

Blazing headlights showed these words to all Gussic Heard and Her Rollicking Ramblers When I looked in. there was Gussie’ on the stage taking several encores. Who would have thought it I murmured. Next I was shown a schoolroom in Macon. Ga T here was Theodora Williams expounding the literarv theories of Johnson and Shakespeare to thirty-five seemingly bored high school pupils Looking more closely I no ticed that her left arm was in a sling 1 could not but wonder whether it had been sprained or over-gesticulated. But my thoughts were interrupted when I viewed several more rooms of the same building and found among the teachers I dgar R Beanum. professor of Somnolenceology; Corrine Prince, professor of poctrv technicology: Harry Landers instructor of physics; Penrose Goodall assistant in studiology. This soon shifted to another scene, in which a huge building, with the sign II Whittcd and T Whyte. Real Estate Dealers, appeared. I must admit the establishment did justice to the capabilities of the young men But my biggest surprise came when I found myself looking at the familiar Science Hall of Howard I’nivcrsity In the laboratory devoted to research in zoology were Caroline Silence. William Wesley Walker and James H Smith I could hardly restrain myself from rushing to the mirror and inquiring as tu their success. But at that time Melvin Sewell entered the room and informed the workers that they need not continue their work at present because of a most important debate that was to be discussed in the Chapel bv Henry Binford and Archie Moore professors of archaeology, on Are Human Beings Fossils? However. I was overwhelmed when a picture arose that looked suspiciously like the sunny beach of Malibu California, and lolling in the sun I saw Althea Hicks and John Harris. What they should be doing in the movie colony's exclusive resort 1 did nor know. But I surmised that Johnnie was evidently making sound movies and featuring his saxophone. Naturally Allie would be there. But the voice warned me to control my excitement, because more wonders were to be seen. T o recover myself I closed my eyes, and when I opened them 1 saw the Corcoran Art Gallery, in which works of contemporary artists were being featured. Among the crowd 1 saw one group that was particularly interesting T he voice told me it was composed of those persons whose works were on exhibit. Who were there? None other than Cornelia Reid. James Jones and Dan i erry When I saw their works I could only exclaim over their orig inality. I confess I could not understand the significance of any. not being able to roll if they were hung up correctly or not One occasionally looked as if it were upside dawn. Just across the corner from the gallery I noticed a recent stand had been erected Peering closely. I saw the sign.

It was none other than that excellent keeper � f Howard's Candy Booth. Ethel Houston How good that Cecie and Vivian were giving employment to I heir old friends. As the candy stand still remained 1 concluded that more was to happen there 1 was not disappointed. Approaching the stand, in long frock coat and the necessary habiliments of a minister, was Noble Payton buying a stick of gum. he presented it to a little hoy who was tagging along behind. With a whoop of joy the youngster rushed away, while there came up a person whom ! thought to be Hovel Wilkerson I his latter asked Rev Pavton. Who was the little tyke ’ I hat. replied Rev.

W Davis writes the following on the Department of Physical Education for Men: The Department of Physical Education for Men at Howard University consists of three main divisions: First, the department of required work, which takes care of those students who are taking required courses in Physical Educn tion These students take, during their freshman year, at least one quarter of swimming, one of outdoor games, and one in health education. During their sophomore year they are permitted to elect any activity which they enjoy play ,ng and with which they are familiar.

He issued the call for candidates at the usual early time, and many of last year's veterans answered the call. Captain Mack. Marshall. Hawkins. Whiting. Ellis. Stokes. Lee. Shelton. Hagan and Payton were among the first to answer the call to the gridiron. The schedule of the “Bisons' called for eight games this year, and so Coach Verdcll began his work of conditioning the men. and later he taught them the new tricks he hoped to pull on the opposition this year. After weeks of hard training the pigskin chasers wended their way to Charlotte. N. C.. to encounter the Johnson C. Smith's Golden Bulls. In the first game of the season the ' Bisons' and 'Golden Bulls played a scoreless tic game. Even though the Bisons showed greater strength, they were unable to push over a touchdown and win. Three times during the game Howard came within Smith's ten-yard line, but fumbles by the backficld men lost the ball on each occasion. The play of White at quarterback. Drew, fullback.

WEST VIRGINIA 7; HOW RD 0 The Bisons came home from their jaunt into the Southland to engage the Yellowjackets of West Virginia State College Coach Vcrdell had pointed his charges toward this game, as it was considered the first real test of the season. Howard was the pre-game favorite, but West Virginia had other ideas about the matter. They showed us that they had no respect for the football experts who had picked Howard to win. The Yellow jackets presented a versatile running attack that was cen tered around a halfback named Edwards- and how that man Edwards could run. He reeled off runs of forty-three yards, twenty five yards and eighteen yards. He also mixed a few shorter runs to make the day's work complete Late in the third period Edwards crossed the Bison goal line for the only counter of the game The punting of Nash and the runs of Edwards furnished the thrills up to this time In the fourth quarter Marshall began flipping for ward passes to all corners of the gridiron, and most of the passes were caught by our backs or ends. However, the game ended with Howard in possession of the ball on West Virginia's twelve yard line HOWARD II; LIVINGSTONE 7 In the second home game of the year the Bison machine began hitting on all eleven, and snowed the Livingstone team down under a score of 44 to 7. In the first three quarters the Bison backs scored practically at will. I he line outplayed the Livingstone line to the man. With the forwards charging in the old Verdell manner, there was little lor the backs to do other than fatten their scoring averages White. Marshall and Taylor led the home boys in .coring. Late in the fourth quarter the Livingstone team was able to push over a score on the second team. In this game the scoring punch of the Bison team that was thought lacking came to light The backs ran the ends and received passes from Marshall, practically burying the Livingstone team under the hoofs of the Thundering Herd Coach Verdell was well pleased with his charges after this game In this game many new stars came to light fifty t v n 7 II E II I S O I 1 3 I as Tom Walker was substituted at center and gave a good account of himself. John Edwards also played in this game. Sally Hall astonished the stands by punting over forty yards consistently. Here were the finds Coach Verdcll made on this eventful day. MOW MM) 6; NORTH VROI.IN STATE 2 I he fourth game of the season was played at home against North Carolina State College of Durham. N. C The Bisons were once more victorious, this time by the score of 6 to 2. The score sounds as it the teams were playing base ball but you may believe me when I say that the boys were playing the good old a me of football. I he Bisons had un d:re;timated the North Carolina I igers’ strength However, the Bisons were able to carry tin pigskin across the I ar heel boys' goal line before the end of the first half. Line-bucks featuring Red Bank I aylor and end runs by Marshall soon put the ball in a scoring position. I aylor took the ball over, and the Bisons had the game in the bag North Carolina came back strong in the last half, and it seemed for a while that the boys from the South might tie up the game. However, the strong Bison forward wall would stiffen at the right time and check the advance of the North Carolina backs. Late in the fourth quarter one of the North Carolina punts got away from Marshall and rolled over the goal line Marshall recovered the ball, but was tackled before he could advance it from the end zone North Carolina was awarded a safety, thereby making the score Howard 6.

I he Lions came to town praising the Mighty’ Svdnor. Lamar. Ben nett and Captain Jerry Harmon. Lincoln had lost only one game previously, and had played a tie game with Hampton All these things raised Lincoln's stock from a football standpoint. The Bisons knew all the facts about the Lincoln tram, and were ready to do their best. 6ftv runt 7 E n I S () 193 1 I he game was called late, as usual. Howard was on the defensive most of the first quarter The punting of Hall took the Bisons out of many tight places Time and again he punted great distances, aided by a strong wind Lincoln threatened thrice during the first half. I hese threats were of no avail, as the Bison forwards broke up the Lincoln plays when the Lions' came dangerously near their goal line. Harmon and Lamar carried the brunt of the Lincoln attack, while Marshall. Hall and Taylor did most of the Howard ball carrying. The Howard line was outplaying the Lincoln forwards. I he first half ended with the teams tied. 0-0. In the second half Howard scored a safety, which proved enough to win the game. Rdwards was sent in for Captain Mack In the early stages of the third quarter he blocked one of Harmon s punts, the ball rolling outside the end zone. The score at the end of the third quarter was Howard 2. Lincoln 0 The last quarter was a very exciting one. Both teams carried the ball deep into the other s territory, but no score resulted. Near the end of the fourth quarter Howard scored a touchdown on a blocked punt, but the score was not allowed because a substitute was on the field at the time the score was made. Lincoln was the stronger of the teams offensively, but the great defensive game played by the Howard team more than matched the thrusts of the I in-coln backs and the for ward passes that were thrown mostly to the winds I he Howard team checked and double-checked practically every trick that the ‘ Lions tried.

Coach Waller was handicapped early in the season when two of the star plavers were declared ineligible by the Registrar I his was soon followed by illness to two of the remaining players However, in the face of these handi caps.

This state of affairs was brought about primarily through the —1 efforts of Prince Hosea K. Nvabongo. a native of Africa. With the help of Mr. R O Murray. Nvabongo was able to convince the Board of Athletic Control that soccer should be instituted as a minor sport Pre viouslv soccer was sponsored solelv by interested students under the guidance of Nvabongo The soccer team enjoyed a very successful season this year, and were able to vin the championship for the second consecutive year. However, they were not as successful this year as they were last year when the team went through the season undefeated The team lost one game—to Hampton bv the score of 4 to The soccer team started practice early this year under the guidance of Coach Arthur Waller, and most of the veterans of last year s learn were present, and so the problem of players was soon solved. Before the start of the regu lar season the team played many exhibition games between the Varsity and the second team Then the day of the first game arrived Bight games were scheduled.

The Medics had imported a few new players from some unknown source They played their usual driving dribbling game, and had the Bisons on the defensive most of the game However, the Bisons were able to score early in the first half, and as the game progressed they were satisfied to hold their lead and win by one point HOW KI) 3; LINCOLN I The Bisons met the Lions of Lincoln here in their own back yard and defeated them by the score of to I The game was a reproduction of the one played earlier in the season.

I he team ol this year has had only one meet, because they were unable to get competition of a collegiate nature However, the team lias been practicing daily, and in the near future hopes to schedule more games. I he swimming branch of the Department of Physical Education, under whose auspices the swimming team functions, promotes a Life Saving Institute annually, and the members of the swimming team and members of the student body who wish to compete for their Red Cross emblem are allowed to participate For three wars the Life Saving Institute has been a success, and the enrollment grows annually. The members of this year's swimming squad are: Nvabongo. Drew. Webb. Aubrev Allen. Babe” Swift. Randolph Jefferson. Stanley Smith. Alpbonso Lyons, and Petie. From this squad Mr. Pendleton feels that he can select a team that will give a good account of itself against any Kind of competition Aside from the men's swimming team Mr Pendleton is entertaining high hopes of having a women's team in the near future Many of the women of the University are expert swimmers, and some of them participate in the Life-Saving Institute yearly. It is from these interested participants in the Life Saving Institute that Mr Pendleton hopes to build the nucleus for his team sixiu-firt THE Bl$n I 3 1 Track I he track team under the leadership of Coach erdell. is giving j good account of itself on the cinder paths this year It has been many wars since Howard has been so formidable on the track. At the earlv stages of the season Coach Verdell found himself in possession of manv veterans. Many of last year's stars returned to don the spiked shoes Among them are Larrv. star dash man and hurdler Fernandes, middle distance and milcr who alwavs gives j good account of himself Mack a star of the dashes: Chcynev.

Here the trackmen were able to gather enough points to finish fourth The I mcoln 1 ions came to town from the Woods of Pennsylvania and walked away with the meet Lincoln scored fifev two points. Howard was able to gather only twenty points I he team :s entered in the C. I A A Championships that are to be held at Hampton Institute in the near future Coach Verdell is not predicting the championship for the team but he thinks that his team will be up among the w inners w hen the final event is run The performance of Chcvney in the high jump, the discus, the 440 and in the medley relay is encouraging Mack should keep on scoring in the dashes and so should Larrv. It the increased competition of the championship games can cut into the I ions scoring column then we may look forward to Howard finishing near the top it not on top. Tennis The tennis team this vear is exceptionally strong With the addition ot Gerald Norman fourth ranking player, the team coasted to a win over Lincoln on Howard s campus In the C 1 A A championship tournament held at .! ( Smith in Charlotte. N C Gerald Norman won the singles championship, and the doubles team of Spike Harris and Lee went as far as the semi-finals before tbev were eliminated.

It is the purpose of the Council to create an interest in extra-curricula activities: to secure some measure of recognition in the arbitration ol matters pertaining to student discipline: to sponsor the social life of the campus to pre sent to the student body any matters of vital importance to them to submit new constitution to the student body for ratification; and to stimulate interest in athletics of the University. It is also the administrator of the student's extra curricula fees and gives aid to student organizations whose program are ham pered because thev lack sufficient funds. Quarterly the Council entertains the leaders of varied groups on the cam pus and discusses campus problems with them In this manner the Council is able to keep in contact with the vital problems that face the student body. Also possible solutions for the problems facing the student body are offered at these quarterly meetings. By public address and with conferences with the I acuity Committee on Discipline, the Student Council attempts to secure recognition in matters per-taining to student discipline. In such matters the efforts of the Council have not been without success: although official recognition has noi yet been given them, indications point to a speedy realization of these aims I’he new constitution has been completed and was presented to the stu dent body for ratification It was accepted by the student body. It has been presented to the I acuity Committee on Student Activities As yet no decision has been reached by this august body. Only one matter of vital importance to the student body as a whole that required a mass meeting occurred this year in the crisis faced by our beloved President. Dr. Mordecai Johnson. Under the direction of the Council a com mittee of fifteen was appointed and propaganda and publicity from the students' point cat view publislx’d. The Council feels that it has won the respect and whole hearted support of the student body; the increasing number of students who bring their prob lems to it for solution and settlement, the increasing number of conferences with faculty committees on student problems are expressions of confidence of the intelligent adjudications in the Student Council OFFICERS Thf.odora Williams Edna Burki Lorraine Robbins Merger Mange Paui I Sisk i mr Vice-1 rest den!

The paper presents student opinion, and is ready and accessible — for student creative work. The retiring administration feels that it has carried on the work executed in meritorious fashion by the administrations that preceded it. Several new feature columns were added to the paper. Conspicuous among these are: Among the Greeks. an interesting and entertaining column of the activities of the fraternity and sorority groups, edited by the able Mary Wade Our Neighbors’ Business. by Ruth Matthews, a review of the events at other col leges and universities; Meet the Profs. by Matthew Mitchell, giving biographical sketches of some of the intensely interesting and prominent individuals on the faculty, and The Question Box. by Prentice Thomas, a collection of opinions on specific problems. If the paper has been successful, the major part of the credit must of necessity go to those individuals who unobtrusively and uncomplainingly gave their time and service to it. One must pay tribute to the news staff, which was larger this year than previously News hounds Iik« the Misses A Scott. A Col bert. I outse Stewart. Angie Taylor. 1 dna Burke, and the Messrs i red Min nis. Ralph .Jones and Bill Morris were largely responsible for whatever inter esting news the paper contained We cannot mention those willing to work without speaking of Flame Smith, who stepped into the breach made when the editor ol Kampus Komics withdrew from school in the winter quarter and made the column highly entertaining and readable. For the first time in the history of the paper there was a Miss Hilltop contest, sponsored by the circulation manager Ruth Bellinger 1 his contest, we believe, is of great significance And finally we must remember the co-operation of every department of the University The work of the paper has been made enjoyable by the cour tesy extended its representatives by the publicity department and by the office of the President. In retrospect, then, we believe that the movement toward a Hilltop that will be the peer, if not the superior, of any college publication is well on the way. and we may hand down to the incoming administration our beloved Hilltop with the following injunction ’ Guard well what we have done.

The society was organized over twenty-seven years ago for the purpose of fostering and encouraging professional interest in the field of education and • n order that prospective teachers and those in the field of education might come closer together to discuss anil evaluate problems. In the earlier period the society hail unparalleled success, hut the war of 1914 served as a retarding factor on it' progress. This was true not only of the Pestalozzi-Froebel Society, but of all the clubs on the “Hill. In 192 there was a great revival in the interest in the club. It began again with new vigor Persons enrolled in the College of Education and those with teaching as their ultimate aim are eligible for membership T his club has been working mainly under student control and the sponsor ship of the members of the faculty of the College of Education Its meetings are held regularly every first and third Tuesday of each month. Since these prospective teachers of today are the faculty personnel of tomorrow, a club of this nature is almost a necessity in keeping the student cognizant of the educa tors, trends and movements in the field of education From its very nature a dub such as this would have a well-earned popularity And even though the dub has advanced to a great extent there is more to be done, and those who are left behind have as their aim the carrying of the club to those heights This year the club bad as its project the publishing of a Bulletin known as the P F Bulletin.” featuring items of interest to those in the field of educa non at the school and others in sympathy with the movement It has also changed its official personnel from the usual parliamentary type to the school organization. That is a miniature school system. The officers of the club are elected by the members of the club.

It bad its birth in a unique conception, and it was the accomplished aim of the founders to organize a Greek letter fraternity wherein all the ideals of true brotherhood, scholatship. culture, patriotism and honor are realized and prevail The fraternity has been a national organization since its founding, and there are now scattered in the leading universities over the United States more than fifty active chapters It has been the policy of the national organization to place chapters only where there is the sanction and the co-operation of the college authorities The fraternity ably supports its national movements. The Housing Fund is by far the most ambitious program that any fraternity has undertaken, and tvill eventually result in adequate housing facilities for the chapters. Through its Guide Right Movement the fraternity has assisted many high school men to choose the right form of training which will point them to successful preparation for their life work. They are assisted in adjusting themselves to whatever occupation seems best fitted to their individual case The Scholarship and Research Loan Fund enables the worthy of the fraternity to obtain knowledge that will lit them to give to the world the fruits of productive scholarship. The national organization publishes each month a magazine, the Kappa Alpha l si Journal. It is tlx only Negro college fraternity monthly in the world, and compares equally with any such similar publication. To those members who have achieved high distinction, its highest honor—the l aurel Wreath—is awarded them Kappa men are prominent in the social, business and professional life of America The Xi chapter of the fraternity, located at Howard University, was founded on December 17, 1 20. and had as its charter members seventeen of the outstanding students in tlx University at that time Since its founding Xi chapter has contributed from its membership men who have been active in every phase of student activity in the University OFFICERS William A Waki ii i d.

Y Chase Tx LPHA CHAPTER of Phi Bela Sigma Fraternity true to the Sigma TtV motto: Culture for service, service for humanity, is pressing onward with all the momentum of seventeen years of progressive existence to t-v—the realization of the ideals of the founders of the fraternity. Realizing that the highest type of college man is the college man with a dream, to the conversion of which into an actuality he dedicates his life. Sigma has striven to instil into her sons those ideals of culture and scholarship which convert men into gentlemen and students into scholars. I he activities of the sons of Sigma on our campus indicate that these efforts have home fruit for in every avenue of campus activity Sigma men can be found doing their share to make Howard a better Howard and themselves better men. But Sigma is not satisfied with ideals alone. Six believes in bringing them to earth, where they arc to be practiced. She realizes that no group of Negro college men can truly consider themselves representative unless they are intimately connected with the problems of the race to which they belong and of which they are potential leaders. Hence Sigma has been sponsoring a yearly program dedicated to the betterment of the Negro's economic status This pro gram, in the form of Bigger and Better Negro Business Week.' has for us purpose the awakening of Negroes to the fact that Negro business must be enlarged and improved if the Negro is eventually to emerge from economic slavery. As year b year the movement grows and the Sigma message goes home to millions of Negroes all over the world. Sigma smiles contentedly at her labors and looks forward with assurance to the future. ninety-nine HOMK OF THE PRESIDENT AD MINST RATION BlILDING CLARKE HALL APPIJ KD SCIENCE BUILDING YIINKR 11 All h is i s o i :i 1 Howard Through a Student's Eyes aOWARD UNIVERSITY is an ideal institution of learning By learning is meant intellectual, social and physical education. With the most _____ capable man. Di. Mordecai Johnson, serving as President. Howard has L— at present offered to its students the teachings of the most brilliantly qualified faculty of any Negro university of America or of the world. How ever, no institution is yet so complete that it has not room for improvement Dr. Johnson the Board of Trustees and other Howard enthusiasts have shown to the student body and the world that they arc striving to make Howard a still greater university Daily for the past few months the students have wit nessed the breaking away of soil by tlx noisy steam machines and the careful, technical laying of bricks growing into more stately buildings I he students are seeing the facultv increase from A B. quality to M A qualuv and from W quality to Ph D quality I he buildings are still incomplete and the faculty still growing in number and quality Our faculty quality, however, is still rather scarce to find: but when Howard fails to find what she wants six makes them. Every year Howard sends away certain professors and promising students who have done impressive work to institutions where they can acquire all that education has to offer What will all this finally result in’ I his is the question. and 1 vs ill answer it. Within a few years from now Howard will he a Greater greatest of Negro universities of the world She will be equal in statutes to the great Howard and Yale universities of America. Degrees of all varieties will be at her disposal If only our forefathers who dreamed of this years ago and who predicted it could be here to see it all. we are sure they would weep with joy. With the future of Howard gradually coming into view, the present Howard also lias us admirable features. For the school year that is drawing to a close the students can say with assuredness that the faculty, fraternities, sorori ties, clubs and other school organizations have all carried out a very successful school year The students have had an opportunity to show their allegiance to Howard, to their President, and to the race in general. Going out into the world is another group of professors, doctors, lawyers and business men who have successfully qualified to carry on in their respective fields and to further extend the reputation of Howard. Those who have gone before have upheld their Alma Mater, those who go now will continue to do so. and those who go in the future will do so by carrying with them the teachings of the stronger and greater I loward Howell James Howard.
