James Bruce, with the wish to see accomplished even greater feats on the cinderpath than his own. wills his track shoes to some deserving aspirant. Sherrv Perry.

Bean, the versatile gentleman from Gary who has boon instrumental in the success of many campus affairs. To all campus sweethearts we leave the advice of a couple who should know.

A perfect combination of personality and scholarship. qualities of the utmost value, are left by Helen Benson and Russell Martin as goals to be achieved by all lower classmen. And to all lower classmen, we hereby will a string of revolutionary ponies which not only will provide the correct answers to examination questions, but will actually write down the answers, thus eliminating the dreaded write-itis cramps To the first-bidder. Charles Jiggetts leaves the option to buy. for the bargain price of $2000. his deluxe bluo and white hot-rod automobile. To the future campus residents who. it appears, will be spared the horrors of living in Clarke Hall and the Veterans' Dormitories we leave our green envy It is not a malicious envy, however, wo hope they will value it highly. When they are luxuriously quartered in thoir new dormitories, we hope they will think of us. then sigh and consider how fortunate they are. Dovey Davis and Carlston Hall will to those students who are inclined to take life too seriously, the broad sense of humor which has endeared them to the hearts of their classmates. To the entire Howard community we leave our eternal best wishes and gratitude to everyone who has played a part in filling the past four years of our lives with never-to-be-forgotten experiences.

The representatives greeted us. bundled us off into cars, and gave us a building-by-building description of the sights we passed on our way to tho dormitories Most of us looked as green as the caps we were given to wear. It hardly seems that it was four years ago that we attended that bon-fire. in what is now called tho stadium, as one of our Freshmen activities. And those uppor-classmon wore so sophisticated when thoy humbled us because wo wore lowly Freshmen We came, but how startled they were because we ovor-crowded the dormitorios, filled classrooms to capacity, and were readily proclaimed tho largest entering class in the history of tho University. Remember the first probation we witnessed’ We all wondered just what manner of creature was walking around in outlandish costumes that mado ridiculous their wearers. We laughed then We didn't know it. but many of us were going to be on the other side of the fence in a year’s time. After we had boon togothor for a while, it was the second quarter of the year and we elected class officers. During that timo wo wont to class meetings regularly and participated in our activities dutifully Our slato of officers in that yoar was: Presidont, Jack Norman; Vice-President. Maurice Bean; Secretary, Katherino Billups; Treasurer. Sanford Neal; and Chaplain. Julius Glover. We helped sponsor the March of Dimes Campaign and the Community Chest Drive, but our main project was the Freshman Prom which took place in May. Joyce Thomas was olected queen. Dorothy Anderson received a cup for her skill in Athletics. lohn Coleman for his outstanding scholarship. and Katherine Pulliam for her participation in extra-curricular activities. Our first Prom turned out to bo a groat success because it was everybody's first class prom I can see that littlo pickot fonco with thoso rod paper rosos just as clearly as if it wore yostorday. 1 know tho dormitory girls remember it well, because they sat up and made the roses for that fence just so wo could have a lovely centerpiece. A new addition to our campus was made with the appearance of the Snack Bar. We had a good time that first day. We were all anxious to see just what was what. We brought our Freshman year to a close by electing our officers for the coming year. I know you remember the lollipop souvenirs that were distributed to tho class by the candidate for presidency When it was all over the list of class officers read: Daniel Bowles. President; Maurice Bean. Vice-President. Lillian King. Secretary; and Julius Glover. Chaplain. That was the year that we carried on our strike against the Frazier Hall Cafeteria. Wo had a mock funeral and gathered in front of President Johnson s office in Founders Library during a meeting of the Board of Trustees and sang. I Shall Not Be Moved for awhile we had results, but things gradually re- verted to the old standing. The yoar was rather uneventful. We didn’t havo a prom our sophomore year, but instead we had an informal dance in the law building. Oh, at tho end of the year, the old law school became tho University Ballroom We re still enjoying our ballroom and we must admit that it is rather nice. By that time we were coming into our own and some of our classmates wore boing recognized for their true worth. Many of tho girls and fellows who had been with us the procoding year had left Some had loft for other schools and others had just not been able to see that traditional grass grow green again. Being Juniors meant that we were to have a little moro responsibility. Wo had to have some efficient class officers Charles Jiggets as President; David Dinkins as Vice-President; Jewell Gray as Secretary. Russell Martin as Treasurer; and Julius Glover as Chaplain served well Our informal danco proved a success and also several members of our class were chosen as representatives to conferences which took place throughout the country Most of us were so busy trying to pull grades up and taking the Junior Comprehensive that we weren't the social lions we had once been. Now we are Seniors. It makes one rather sad to think that soon we will be loaving the dormitories, the campus, and all of our various organizations Our class officers worked hard and long trying to interest us in our class work. You know thorn — David Hall. President; Edward Lopez, Vice-President; Gladys Walker. Secretary; Charles Butler. Treasurer; and Julius Glover. Chaplain. You know. I bolieve Julius Glover has set a record or something, being Chaplain of his class for four yoars. Wo sponsored the Annual Sadie Hawkins Danco and that was some skit that David Hall. Barbara Polk. Frankie Drayton. Katherine Sperling. Betty Smith. Barbara Lane. Joe Ollivierre. and Lois Colemar. appeared in. as characters right out of A1 Capp’s column. Our own Howard Playors returned from their trip abroad and delighted the entire campus for weeks with all their stories of their experiences ovah thcah Our own classmate Godfrey DeCastro was elected President of the Student Council and we must say that he did his job efficiently. Of course you remembor the activities of the last weok of our Senior year — prom, picnic and many others All have been experiences that have integrated and enriched our lives. We have made life long friends of classmates, faculty, and administrative personnel It has boon well worth our sleepless nights, writing rosoarch papers, and studying for finals tho night bofore the actual exam, and now as we look back over our past four years. I think that we can honestly say that it has been truly wonderful AH those Fral and Sorority dances the basketball, football. baseball and soccer games; and the v ay we rushod for tho Hilltop to read the latest in campus news are all memories now LS3J —Gladys F Walker THE STUDENT COUNCIL Sludont participation in the direction o! student affairs is strongly oncouragod at Howard Univorsily Tho Studont Council lor tho College oi Liboral Arts and the School ol Music it tho representative policy-making and advisory body lor students in these Collegoi Its Constitution was adopted May 12. 1936. and rovised May S. 1944 Evory student in good stand ing in each of these Colleges is eligible to vote for general and class representatives who make up the membership of this Council General elections are hold in May of each year.

Studont Participation In University-Wido Govern ment. the University Council approved on Movomber 1. 19-19, the establishment of a University-Wide Community Council on Student Life on which body the student representation is equal to that of the faculty and the administration This action represents a tremendous forward step in formulating a prccodure that will help make the campus a social unit, that will give studonts an opportunity to alt down with (acuity members and administrative officers and participate in all phases o! planning and policy making for student alfairs and that will be conducive to the most congenial student-iaculty-administration interpersonal relationships The work ol the Community Council is decentralized through the following committees: Committee on Social Planning, Committee on Personal and Cultural Development. Committee on Student Organizations, Committee on Athletics and Recreation, Commit tee on Publicity and Student Publications. Committee on Com aunily Standards and Welfare, Committee on Recognition and Awards, and Executive Committee. The chairman ol each committee is a member ol the Council, but each committee may associate with it such other members ol the University community as will prove advantageous in car tying out its function STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY OF THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL Howard University was established lor tho education ol youth in the liberal arts and sciences. In effectuating this purpose, it may be satd that tho University functions in a tripartite division of 11 students. (2) faculties, and (3) administration Though tho organic act creating the University further provides for one administration unit, one central governing unit, the University is composed of len separate schools and colleges, each having individual and peculiar problems ll is agreed, howevor, that we do have many common problems around which there is sufficient community of intorost to develop unity of action throughout the University It is then necessary to have that organizational structure which enables us to act as or.e community to meet the needs and to satisfy the aspiration ol that community. Tho organic act previously referred to. vests the government of the University in the Board of Trustees. The immediate government of the several schools and colleges, subiect to the control of the Trustees, is entrusted to their respective faculties With this framework, it may be stated that sound educational policy requires that Howard University consider its educational program as co-extensive potentially with tho total range of extraclass experiences, activities, and relationships that compose the life ol students. The effective implementation of this policy involves ihe cooperative endeavors ot all members of the University community. This partnership conception of education implies the existence of common needs, common problems, common loyalties, and common goals It conceives ol the University community as a social unit and the existence of a democratic way of life with arrangements that will insure that every person can participate in the lile ol the community according to his interests, abilities, and capacities. Eftective representation and participation o! all members ol the Univorsity community in the formulation and implementation ol policies governing extra-class activities requtro intelligent activity at the grass roots. It involves safeguards against servitude to special interests and the development ol political machines. It requires free and easy channels ol communication so that each individual might originate,' propose, and get an idea acceptod and so that the proposals of representative bodies might receive prompt and widespread consideration and action The University believes that the basic reasons why habits oi responsibility and cooperation should be stressed are because personal growth comos through experience in formulating purposes. making plans, solving problems, and cairying responsibilities which are important in tho liio of the community, bccauso they arc pre-requisite to the achievement of a social democracy and because they are a matter ol sober necessity if things are lo got done. The structure of community government should be designed so at to insure continuity and stability while at the same time flexibility to accommodate those necessary changes which come about as Iho result of the changing needs of a changing studont body Where extra-class problems are local rather than University-wide. then existing organizational machinery should be used, or new machinery established to have this community participation at the local level Those matters which primarily involve students and which can be handled by students best should be assumed by individual student groups with the integ-ration previously referred to, coming into force only when policy questions are raised which involve Ihe community interest oi the individual schools ar.d colleges or University [73] Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, the first Greok letter sorority for Negro Col lego Women was founded in January. 1908 on the campus of Howard University. Realizing the increasing complexity of the purpose of cultivating and encouraging high scholastic and ethical standards among college students, keeping alive the interested alumnae in college life, and the progressive movements emanating therefrom, the founders of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority founded this sorority with the avowed purposes of improving the social status of our race, raising moral standards, and increasing educational efficiency. The sorority sponsors a national health program, maintains a scholarship and student loan fund and awards fellowships for foreign and domestic study. In 1938. the sorority established the National Non-Partisan Council of Public Affairs, now known as the American Council on Human Rights, which is sponsored cooperatively by seven national collegiate fraternities and sororities. [76] On December 4. 1906. the concopt of Negro Brotherhood was for the first time given material expression in the form of Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity at Cornell Univorsity. This fact is significant for it represents a commitment—an assumption on the part of Alpha Phi Alpha of the responsibility of always taking the lead It is this interpretation of the founding of the first chapter that has made Alpha a brotherhood of loaders. It is this doctrine preached in its 190 chapters into which the organization has grown which is responsible for Alpha men being in the vanguard in every field of human endeaver. Beta chapter was foundedd at Howard University on December 20. 1907. the second chapter of the fraternity, and the first on a predominately Negro campus. Since that day Alpha has opened its doors to all men regardless of race, color, or crood, and Beta has adhered religiously to the fundamental precepts of Alpha Phi Alpha by suppling leaders to the campus community and to the nation. FIRST OF ALL. SERVANTS OF ALL. WE SHALL TRANSCEND ALL SPHINX CLUB In December. 1925, Alpha Phi Omega. National Service Fraternity, was founded at Lafayette College, Easton. Pennsylvania, with the expressed purpose of “assembling college men in tho fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law. to develop Friendship, and to promote Service to humanity Alpha Phi Omega men are indoctrinated with the spirit of Leadership. Friendship, and Service. The program embodies four fields of activity: Service to the student body and faculty; Service to youth and community; Service to members of the fraternity; Service to the nation as participating citizens. Tho Chartor of Zota Phi Chapter was rocoivod May 29. 1948 with Dr. Ray O. Wyland officiating on behalf ol the national executive board, and the ritual was conducted by Epsilon Mu Chapter of the University of Maryland. Other chapters in this area are Eta Phi. the American University and Zeta Mu. Catholic University Also, there are preparatory groups at Georgetown University and George Washington University. The most significant achievement of Zota Phi Chaptor is tho development of its Servico Program. Many letters of commondation were recoivod from Campus officials, civic leaders and others complimenting the work which the brothers are doing. While tho small tasks are still important, tho Chapter has been giving activities of groat magnitude—activities which affect the entire student body and community, activities which require leadership and work on the part of each individual member, and activities which require trust and responsibility. Listed below are a few of tho projects completed during the year of 1948 and 1949: Policed student oloction; aided in Freshman Orionta- tion; ushered at assemblies and special functions; promoted March of Dimes; conducted Rod Cross Campaign; aided in Homecoming; collected magazines and delivered them to patients' bed sides; counseled freshmen at registration; sponsorod party for under-privileged children, conducted nightly supervision at Ir. Police Citizens Corp; aided Rod Feather Drive, cleaned old folks home; and actively participated in scouting and Blood donor service for Howard Students. TREFOIL CLUB On January 13. 1913. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was founded on Howard University's Campus. The founders of Delta realized the need for an organization of women which would have as its purpose the perpetuation of the high ideals and services which women are able to render to society and by so doing, better the social environment as well as stimulate tho desire for educational growth. Delta has become interracial in its scope and has. since its birth, donated its services to all classes of society Its national projects include the Job Opportunities Clinic which has aided many to obtain and hold positions of importance throughout the nation and also has lent a helping hand to youth in deciding its place in society. Alpha chapter not only maintains a library for children in the city, with the aid of the sorors of the chapter, but also helps maintain a Traveling Library for children and adults in Mississippi A Thanksgiving basket for a needy family is an annual project of Alpha chapter. Tho fabberv ock, which is an annual affair, is presented for the purpose of raising money for the scholarship fund. A one hundred dollar Scholarship was again awarded this year to a deserving nonsorority student. The Pyramid Club successfully presented its Kiddie Ball and received a prize for its float in the Homecoming Game PYRAMID CLUB Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity strives to obtain for its members all of the benefits which can accrue from membership in a modern college brotherhood. The fundamental aim of Kappa Alpha Psi is to instill an urge for achievement within its members, thus preparing them for success in college and post graduate life. The program of Xi Chapter. Howard University, is both social and educational. In the educational sphere, the chapter sponsors an annual Guide Right Week Program, which is designed to help young students to bocomo adjusted to college lifo. A series of educational forums on topics of curront interest are also sponsored by the chapter. Within its own bond, the fraternity operates a very efficient tutorial staff which helps its members to maintain scholastic success in all fields of study The outstanding social affair of the chapter is its annual Silhouette Ball, honoring its fraternity queen, this year being Miss Cordelia Kenny, who was elected to reign for the school year '49-'50 The balance of the social calendar consists of the Dawn Dance, a Kappa tradition, a series of closed parlies, and a picnic in the spring. SCROLLERS CLUB [80J Omeqa Pu Phi 0’rateniih) Alpha Chapter. Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, was iounded at Howard University on November 17, 1911. thereby, becoming the first Negro Groek-lottor Fraternity to be founded on a Negro college campus Three young men. Oscar J Cooper. Edgar A. Love, and Frank Coleman (now Prof, of Physics. H. U.). juniors in the College of Arts and Sciences, realizing the dire need of an organization which would unito Negro college men of like ideals and standards whilo in college and also after leaving collego. and lurther realizing that such an organization created by Negroes in a Negro institution of higher learning would cause a now awakening in Negro college life and would blaze the trail for a common attack upon the discriminations and injustices that are barriers to human progress. sought to bring about the establishment of such an organization. These young men enlisted the aid of one of their Professors. Dr. Earnest Everett Just, and after many weoks of painstaking preparation they established the first chapter. Alpha Chapter, of the now organization. Since that November day of 39 years ago the Fraternity has grown from the small organization of ono chapter and a few dozen members to an international organization of more than 22S chapters and well over 18,000 members. Tho growth of Alpha Chaptor has paralleled that of tho Fraternity, and today it has a continuous membership of over 125 members Throughout the yoars Alpha Chapter has maintained a place among the leading student organizations of the Campus. The Chapter has a long established custom of participating in all campus activities of major interest; and each year it sponsers such annual affairs as the National Negro Achievement Week, the Words and Music Concert each Mother's Day. an Essay Scholarship Contest throughout local high schools, the Mcrdi Gras Ball, and many other civic, cultural, and social programs.

Thoir several purposes for making Howard a part of their tour were to help them to understand America, to become better acquainted with the American way of life, and to win for their country the sympathy and understanding of American people. The Amt Fur Studentenwandorungcn of Vienna is a non-commercial and non-political society founded after the First World War as a token of gratitude of the Austrian Students for the help they received from their American and British Colleagues Its purpose is to spread international understanding, and a spirit of cooperation and good fellowship among the students of different nationalities, races, and creeds In the 25 years of its existence, it has brought together over 16,000 students from 20 different countries to international contorc in the alpo. While at Howard the group was presented in a very fine recital at 8 00 P M. in the gymnasium in the main gymnasium building on December 8. 1949. Both the reception, which followed immediately, and the recital wore graciously attended by the student body and faculty members. The Omega Psi Phi Choral Ensemble gave them a short recital during the reception The next day. they were presented in the Chapel at noon, at which time, they gave an excellent performance. At both recitals, they delighted the Howard University Faculty and Student body with their folk dances and songs, and with their charming natural manner of presentation. In the evening of their second day. the Department of Physical Education for Women dedicated its third annual outdoor Christmas Program to them; at the conclusion of which, each member of the visiting group was given a gift, from studont organizations, right out of the bulging bag of Saint Nicholas. This was another very happy evening of international warmth and understanding. The Group shared rooms with a number of Howard students living in Dormitories. This was means of learning about our American way of College Dormitory life. [86] 3 towar() (PL ai ers Tho skies woro blue, and the sun was warm, that August 31. 1949. aboard the S S. StavangArfford as twenty-one happy young Howard University players and three ol their teachers waved goodby to Mrs. Roosevelt who had graciously come to bid farewell, the press, and a host of friends whose faces were beginning to fade as the big ship pulled away. These kids were thrilled and excited, and doubly so because they knew that this was really only the beginning of an experience which was entirely foreign to them. Aboard ship they spent ten well filled days crammed with rehearsals, dancing to the captains' band, mingling with the other passengers, and each day grasping a little more Norwegian from the menus, programs, and crew. There were deck games, swimming for the more hardy, and talent programs, all of which more than consumed the time which passed so quickly wo found it hard to roalizo it was September 4, and wo landed at our first stop. Bergen, Norway, for six hours, and tv o days later. Stavanger. Norway for two hours. Since time was so short, and the weather not clear, our first real impression was not made until September 10th. when we landed in Oslo. Norway. It was raining there too. but despite it all wo folt for the first time a real introduction to tho country we were to love so well Eight wonderful days in Oslo playing Ibsen's The Wild Duck at the fabulous Nye’ theatre with its elevator-like stages and wonderful atmosphere, visits to the Artists' Restaurant. 'Bloms', the Viking Ships. Folk Museum. Viegiland Statues. Ski lumps. Restaurants, Oslo University, and of course, opening night before the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway whom we had been presented to earlier at the U. S. Embassy. Before we realized, it was September 18th. and we were aboard the Cronprince Olaf sailing to Copenhagen, Denmark, we hated to leave Oslo, the city which had become home to us. and as we waved farewell to our Norwegian and American Student friends, our wonderful host and hostesses Anne Brown and her daughter, and tho press, we knew that we would have to roturn again some day. We soon discovered that Copenhagen was the city ol life, tho littlo Paris of Scandinavia itself, and that hore was a life moro gay. and fascinating than any wo had ever known. Once again wo livod in private homes, and this time our theatre was tho Allo-Sccne . a small intimate place where we played for the first time, our Mamba's Daughters . Wo found tho Danes to be a warm. gay. sympathetic pooplo who loved life, and got the most from it. Wo lovod thoir restaurants, large and lovely, their ballet and thoatres. thoir little castles and moats hidden away in the hills. Elsinore . . . and mostly because they loved us so. Sweden was noxt on our agenda. Malino, Lund, and Upsila. all college and university towns, and all with young students not very different from ourselvos in taste and temperament. Then beautiful Stockholm, the city of street canals and little castles out in the water, colorful and well stocked shops and entertainers, like Louis Armstrong Wo Jived in tho Hotel Kristcnoberg. which was quite modern and new. but it seemed only a short while before our stay was over and we were making our fourteen-hour trip back to Norway. I suppose because this little country of a few million people, was the firs! to opon hor arms and heart to us, even as far back as the United States, when we recoivcd our first invitation from the Norwegian government. Yes. tiny Norway, whose snow-capped mountains and evor-greon trees we could enjoy as we gazed through our train windows. It was October 8th. when we arrived in Trondheim. Norway, and the cold had really come now. This was a small university town, and some of us lived in private homes, while others lived at the university's student home, (which they maintain themselves). For a solid week between performances of both plays we were feted more timos than almost all the other places put together. At the student house nightly, in front of the huge fireplace, we had song fests. games contributed by our friends as well as ourselves. With our visit to Trondheim climaxed by a delightful visit to the famous Cathedral in the Mountains we returned to Oslo, to do Mamba's Daughters , for them. We were happy to see our old hosts, who had done so much for us. and began everything all over again This time our Oslo visit was really climaxed by a weekend trip to the student chalet in tho mountains, where wo learned to ski for tho first time. Mrs. Butcher who was in Paris at tho limo camo up for a few days with her daughter. Cheryl She brought us nows from home which provided that shot in the arm which is so wolcome sometimes even if one is having a good time. Our Norwegian tour was drawing to an ond and after a wook in Stravangor. an old historical town and the first place we landed in Norway, and Borgon, another little city with its duck pond in the contor. mountains surrounding it. and cable cars leading to the mountain tops where we've located so many little restaurants, our jaunt was over and we were off to Germany. We all had many a sad farowoll in the three countries and nine cities and towns we had visited, but better still we had memories which we could never lose. Germany was entirely different from our other experiences. From the beginning, it seemed shrouded by mystery, confusion and intrigue In Germany wo livod a fast, comfortable, well planned life Hamburg the Hotel Continental. Berlin the Circle Hotel and so on it went Wo went everyplace by army transportation, buses, trains, and army transport planes. In Berlin we saw the many ruins and bombed areas, the wretched plights ol German citizens The home of Hitler and Eva Braun. Reichstag buildings, the British. American. French, and Russian sectors of Berlin. Russian Garden ol Remomborance and finally the huge Olympic stadium whore Jossie Owens' name heads the list. On to Frankfort. Munich, where we saw a ghastly concentration camp. Nonheim. and finally Kitsingen. Germany where wc spent Thanksgiving Day feasting with turkey and cranberry sauce along with the G.I.'s and W.A.C.V After a wonderful day we gave our last performance which was a great succoss and the sets and costumes were burned in a little ceremony around the army theater. We hatod to leave our new found friends so soon, but we had to leave tho following morning by plane lor America. Wc left, changed planes in Ireland because of bad woathor, and boarded the strat-o-lme Norway” (by coincidence). Wo spont six hours there and filteon in Ireland, but arrivod safely after a comfortable and exciting journey across the Atlantic Arriving about midnight at La Guardia Field and four o'clock in tho morning at Howard University’s campus we all had a bevy of mixod emotions. Some were overjoyed at the thought of being home and others a little starry-eyed as they focused back at momories over there But all in all. we were very full of the knowledge that wo had been individually richen-ed by this wonderful experience, and that Dame Fortune had truly smiled upon each one of us. —Shauneille Ferry “Apolloma.

It was about the year 1881 that the growing need for dental service was evident both to those studying and those teaching medicine in connection with Freed-men's Hospital. Many of the students studying medicine were destined to practice in communities where the local physician would be called to render all branches of medical service to his patients. Therefore it was necessary for him to have a knowledge of oral surgery. Hence, tho medical staff of the Hospital and Medical College began to give dontal instruction to those desiring it along with their medical education Thus was born the meager but firm foundation for Dentistry at Howard and the first Negro Dental College in America. Regular dental classes were organized during tho years 1882-1883 by Dr. James B. Hodgkins. At first only a few students enrolled in the dental courses However. this apparent lack of interest did not forestall the progress of the new organization. Dr. Whitcomb, a pioneer in the field of operative dentistry, was called to tho faculty. It was largely through his efforts and those ol Dr. Harvey that a Dental Clinic was established. This clinic consisting of two dental chairs and the necessary accessories was organized on the premises of 1303 Seventh Street. N. W Here clinical dentistry in all its branches was begun. With the neod lor a more convenient location and a better clinic, new quarters were established in the northeast corner of the floor in the present Dental-Pharmacy Building, then occupied by the hospital. Three rooms on the third floor of the building were used in conjunction with the Medical College for lectures. During the year 1901. the Dontal Clinic was moved to the second floor of the building. Two back rooms, a small hall room, and a portion of the hall curtained off constituted the clinic, office and waiting room respectively. With tho removal of tho hospital to its now site in 1908. the Dental Clinic acquired ono oi tho old wooden buildings, formerly used as the women’s medical v ard. Additional dental chairs and engines wore provided and sanitary conditions wore greatly improved. The clinic now consisted of 15 chairs. As the years passed improvements wore made and in 1923. in order to meet the demand for greater clinical activities the clinic was again enlarged On completion of the new medical building, the first and second floors of the old medical building was renovated for the Dontal School. In October. 1927, the faculty and students entored its new and spacious quarters The equipment consisted of sixty dental chairs, one-third of which were equipped with electrical engines and fountain cuspidors In conjunction with the main clinic, there was provided a complete Ex-odontia Section and X-ray outfit. Thoro woro also additions made to the teaching staff Since that time, many additions have been made to the equipment During the summer oi 1936, through a grunt of SI5.000 from the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works, extensivo alterations in the building were effected. This has resulted in greatly improved facilities for instruction and accommodation. [103] ACT I Olasi DAYS OF OUR YEARS ’ • THE 'days ol our years’ possibly started years before our present scenes, however, for the sake of brevity and continuity, we will say that our many characters were assembled from various sites, large and small, along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, some irom the inlands, and a lew from lands beyond the seas We are principally interested in events which took place after our assembly in the Autumn of 1946. Our first formal meeting, when some forty-odd men and two lassies converged, took place at Ye Oldc School of Dentistry ’, (so called in respect to the venerability ol our much-worn edifice) With due respect to records, we wero probably the oldest class in average ages to have entered these hallowed walls. We represented the first Veterans of World V ar II'' class, and for some ol us. as well as a few ’just plain' veterans, (apologies to Ivory) this opportunity was a last straw” It took quite some tarsighted imagination for anyone to forsee that there existed any possibilities of dental matorial among this motley crew. 0 O 0 0 O O 0 Apologies to any literature bearing the same or similar name. Any likoness is puroly unintentional. For brovity the play appears in narrative form with highlights which will stimulate fond recollections. 3i'idonj THE CAMPAIGNS OF OUR MEDICAL YEARS Scene I After registrations had been completed, schedules distributed, and bills paid, (apologies to veterans) we were assembled lor our official welcome and orientation. The possibilities of Dentistry were extolled. greetings offered, admonitions showered, and the spectre of hard work projected before us. Tho seriousness of the occasion was somewhat quelled by greetings of Peace, it's wonderful. My peace I givo unto thee.” et cetera It is difficult at this time to determine what our collective or even individual thoughts contained after this meeting, but wo left to conquer a seeming unsurmountablo task. Being an impcrturbabl© group, our spirits did not slump long, lor wo started our ways, individually through the maize of lectures, art. scale drawing, wax carving, relax brother”, amino acids, and a smattering of Dentistry. Composed of a number of ex-servicemen with recent memories, wo diedainod any thoughts of rogimontation. and attempts at organization mot with disharmony. We succeeded, in saner moments, to elect a slate led by C. Statehouse” Smith. Organization. such as it was, left much to be desired and we went our ways individually until Dr. Wilkerson and his showering quizzes made brothers of us all It is reported, the scene roputedly photographed, that some of us oven took the oath' on bended knee in an attempt to pass examinations. Instead of spending our spare time at the now defunct Red Rooster”, wo now buckled down to Dr. Ma” Moore's slides, relaxed to the strains of the Master s violin concertos, and were lulled by t'ne warm afternoon narcosis of Dr. Shorty Mac” McKinney: No. 1 Our ways were not totally unmarrod by dis-sentions. and. in one of thoso, wo callod upon Leonard Altemus to lead the pack for the rest of the year. We were even then being officially labeled as a group to be watched”. It is still a mystery how our victories were accomplished, however, when the smoke of battles cleared over “Cadaver Run”, ’ Peep Barrel Hollow , and other rather-be-forgotten sites where tempers flared and brothers fought, there emergod a successful but scarred aggregation. It is said that the first year is the hardest but we had more to come. The warm wolcome signs of summer, including the 'greening of the grass’, lulled our fears. Scene II Tho past summer must have improved temperaments wholesomely, or maybe it was the scars of retakes, incomplotos, and Unlvoroity of Michigan, otc. Whatever the means wo seemed to take on a new air of cooperation. Our first dood in the new year was to elect a slate again headed by Len Altemus. After instilling fear into the incoming freshman, as only verbose Sophomores can do. we settled diligently in an effort to remain intact lor another yoar. Any thoughts we had concerning the road being made any easier, were dispelled upon introduction to the studies of the physiological and pathological aspects of the human being No. 2 we again toiled many warm afternoons blankly peepin' down the barrel, and as we were later to find out. we wouldn't be through with [104] One Night Stand the pesky things even at the end of this year. In the labs, we certainly rid the Washington canine population of any qualms over the theory of Malthus, and saved the city dog-pound of many dollars in oxocution exponscs. Wo wero introduced to the fundamentals of Operative Dentistry on the dentoforms and though wc were not the first, we made the only painless restorations most of us will ever accomplish in our careers as dentists. Wo oxtractod. lacerated, and even fractured teeth and gums without pain. In fact the successful replantation operations in the history of Dentistry were perpotrated. To extract a tooth, fill it. and then replace it, is probably beyond the fondost expectations of dontal research. In pausing, since some of us wore of tho older variety—the ago group expected to be married—a few of us were accompanied to D.C. under the protection of our spouses. Much to our woe, they organized.— Tho Fortnightors Needless to say. much of our extracurricular activities” were curtailed due to their underground efficiency. We received into our group a few transfer students, and later a few refugee practitioners who toiled with us Summer again, and about half of us lookea forward to foist our knowledge on the unsuspecting public in the clinic. Lo. our instructors were correct, teeth had pulps! A few of us completed all of our pulp therapy requirements during tho summer session. Statistics show, we think, that the class met and surpassed all previous records at beavering and compiled an envious record. OOOOOOOOOOOOOO ACT II OUR CLINICAL YEARS Scone I Again we delegated Altemus to lead us in this new era Our Junior year introduced us to many interesting fields of Dentistry and we began to feel as though we were not being trained to be physicians after all. It was a general feeling among us to be fondly rid of the sweat box' and be able to devote our time to clinical demands It took quite a bit of ingenuity to find forty-odd people who had the requirements of a Class III foil after the Seniors' demands had been met It seemed that Washingtonians had the philosophy— once foiled, foil-armed We managed to find a few nascent Ill's but the rest of us made it (them). Class II s were not so ha� d to find Alter all a Class I sooner or later becomes a Class II Beavers all. we maintained our pace throughout the year, lounge points and all. A few of us had tho audacity to attempt some Crown and Bridge Dr Fitz made quite a few bridges that year. Drs Harry McLinn and Speedy Evans collaborated ir. confusing us in the difficult subject. Orthodontia. What with space maintainors, wire bending, soldering, and burnt fingers, nono of us ever dreamed of moving teeth clinically (v ithoul forceps, that is). We were told by Dr Walton, however, that some of the partial dontures we constructed were probably the best orthodontic appliances ever made. We were also introduced to the field of Oral Surgery and with fervor, afforded the Seniors with a record amount of root extractions. The year passed uneventfully and most of us stayed around for the summer clinic where we in- itial's All Brother [105] troduced wary Juniors to clinical routine with a confidential air. With reliel we received the greetings welcoming us into tho folds of the Senior Class. Scone II Point heavy, we greeted the last mile with misgivings and yearnings. Wo paused long enough to elect Mr. Saddler of tho Prosthetic Department to load the class, and then dug for requirements. Most of us wore in “good shape ; a few making Fielding Yosts's Point-a-M:nute Yale teams look sad in comparison We wore greeted with Dr. Eeeemergency Savara and his bouncing, juvonilo aggregation. The routines of cavity preparation, case histories, diet compilations, and other no-point operations have us in a dither about completing Pedodontic requirements. We are assured. Eeet ees posseeeble . A junior student broke his leg an the stairs and Dr. Walton narrowly escaped a fall. We now havo now stairs. It has been argued that il either or both had broken a neck, we may have seen at least the plans lor the new building Wo lost the association ot one of our classmates, Mr. Childress, in a tragedy during the Christmas recess and mourn his loss. We will miss him in this our last quest for tho goal. To Art Thomas, formerly of tho Clans of '49. sidetracked because of illness, and who was a member of our class for a brief time, hotter luck next year with wishes for belter health and happiness THE END PROLOGUE Looking back over our accomplishments, it would be a pity not to recall our lunch-hour” Dentistry whore prospective Dentists argued vociferously over the merits of the Yankees (Joltin' Joe brand). Notre Dame. Ben Hogan, and other scientific data. Characters to be remembered are Chief”. ' Old Man . Chu . Windy City . Big Tom”, and the incomparable ' Horse . Our group soomod to bo endowed with pats athletic greats and it was natural for sports to enter our spare time confabs We actively supported intramural basxctbal! and softball, having won the championship in 1946-7. This year Hoax Brown is the professional commissioner. Old age and hard work with accruing groon stuff and avoirdupois will most likely reduce our sports activities to the purely armchair variety;—but memories are grand1 Daily Lounge Clinic’ [106) “SDrup of Our jerm junior Senior SJresh resnntan Soph opnomore Cuspidor tt Place: Howard University Campus Date: June, 1960 Occasion: Commencement and Class Reunion.

[120] THE STUDENT COUNCIL SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE The Student Council of the School ol Engineering and Architecture was organized to handle the affairs peculiar to the students of this school. However, in the activities which concern the University as a whole the council works in close cooperation with the councils of other departments of the University. 1121] AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS Tho first students of tho Howard University Electrical Engineering Department became student members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in November. 1948. The objective of the Institute is the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical engineering, and the maintenance of a high professional standing among its members. This organization aifords opportunities for independent activity and initiative on the part of students, and for cultivating qualities needed by the engineer, which are not offered in the classrooms and laboratories [122] THE SLIPSTICK STAFr In 1947, the Student Council ol the School of Engineering and Architecture decided to abandon the old practice of sponsoring a news column in the Hilltop, and to publish a newspaper of its own A staff of volunteers was organized, and a contest was held for the purpose of choosing a name for the new publication The purposo of this paper was to provide a means of expression for the students of Engineering and Architecture, to bring to light problems to be faced in tho engineering world, and to acquaint other members of the U with happenings in the Engineering School. Tho first Slipstick was released in December. 1947 The editor is elected by ballot, and becomes a Council membor. Othor members of the staff are volunteers The paper is published quarterly. [123] THE NATIONAL TECHNICAL ASSOCIATION The National Technical Association is an association ol Negro technical men The object ol this organization is to collect and disseminate the information concerning the opportunities of Nogrocs in the technical and engineering fields, to aid and encourage Negro youth in preparation for these fields, to advance science and engineering in all of its branches, to promote the interest of the profession among the darker races, and to break down the barriers in the profession due to race prejudice. Student affiliates of the National Technical Association are shown above. I 124 | — A. S. T. M. The American Society (or Testing Materials is a technical society o? some (ive thousand members, which performs tho dual function ol: (a) standardization of the specifications and methods of testing materials and (b) the promotion of the knowledge of engineering materials. Student members aro affordod a modium through which they may bocomo familiar with the research and investigations of the authorities in this iield. [12 J INDUSTRIAL INTERVIEWERS The Howard University School ol Engineering and Architecture, the engineering departments of v hich are accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development, is organized, staffed and equipped for the preparation of students lor entrance upon an active career in the fields of Civil engineering. Electrical engineering, Mechanical engineering and Architecture As evidence of this type of training a number of graduates have been placed by the leading industrial firms of this nation.

THE COURT OF PEERS The Court of Peers is the official student organization deputized to handle student problems and determine extra curricular programs and policies It is composed of a Chief Justice and two Associate Justices from each class. The group is shown preparing the sponsorship of a Civil Rights Dobato. Loft to right are: Associate Justice Floyd B Oliver. Associate Justice Thomas J. Reddick. Associate Justice Reginald Jackson. Chief Justice Francisco A Rodriguez. Associate Orgettc Graham. Associate Justice Wilson E Sharpe and Associate Justice Nathan H. Beavers Jr. (131 J JUNIOR CLASS FIRST YEAR CLASS T 132 J One ol the best instrumentalities ior the practical zation of legal concepts is the Moot Court. Students in this course are given a simulated dispute from which they prepare briefs and carry out a complete trial. Under the supervision of Professors Washington and Hayes this has become one of the most interesting courses in the Law School. Or. the Appellate level Myrlice Jones presents her brief before a representative body from the Law Review Staff. I 133] Class historians have a remarkable flair for remembering the first day of school, primordial impressions and sundry events during those hours 1 doubt that any member of the class ol 1950 remembors the first day of school; the days that followed obliterated any memory of registration, meeting new inends or renewing old acquaintances Mr lames A. Washington and Mr Herbert O. Reid were deputized to coach us for the first few days on the significance and technique of law study. Despite their admonitions and conscientious offorts v o failed to appreciate what was to come. No one forgots tho memorable and dramatic first meeting with Mr lames Madison Nabrit. He began with a relentless attack on his first victim; his questions were baffling, his pace was inexorable. Never before had anyono experienced such professorial tyranny. such dogged examination of students, such ponderous assignments. But as tho days gathered themselves into weeks, we learned that no master could have a keener interest in his charges, no sago could stimulate the thinking processes more than this scholarly gontlomon with tho Toxac drawl. Aitor throe yoars of association with Mr Nabrit I understand Oliver Goldsmith's dilemma when, in describing his schoolmaster he mused. And still they gazed and still the wondor grew, That ono small hoad could carry All he knew . To us Civil Procedure was like symphony music to tho parvenu; intricate beyond comprehension, but delightful to the ear. Ponnoyor v Neff might have escaped us. but wo found amplo compensation in tho compelling charm ol Mr. Hayes' rhotoric. There were, of course, elections We had a politically-minded class. In fact. Mr. Foster, the gentleman from South Carolina, pledged eternal war against the Pennsylvania voting machine of Boss Allen There were allegations of sectionalism, invectives, complaints. In the end no one denied that the best men had been selected. Mr. Charles Williams, was elected president; Albert Thompson, vice-president, Romae Turner, Secretary. Oscar Lane. Treasurer. Samuel E Guiles, Chaplain. Edward K Nichols and Francisco A Rodriguez. Class representatives on the Court of Peers. Wo completed the first year, like Omar Khuyum. with a blind understanding of the law. We had nothing palpable to take back to our respective communities. but liko anyone exposed to law study, we had found a new way of life, a vision of the science of Justice and Human Relations. Unlike in other provinces of learning, there is no time in law study when a student has command of the text or venacularly speaking, ’ when ho has the inside track”. So after a year's orientation, the second episode was fraught with indecisivoness and more apprehension. If we were to use the oriental pattern and name the year according to improssionc, this one would go down in history as The Year ol Quick''. The Ohioan with a pocket full of hypotheses and an inexhaustible supply of unanswerable questions was rivaled only by Mrs. Jane Lucas, the glamour spot on the faculty, in votes cast as to who causod the greater amount of examination nightmares in 1949. The most significant element of the group was its composition. There was tho ubiquitous Fred G. Minnis. former U. S. Army Major, the Oliver W. Holmes of the class. 1 use the comparison with reference to his dissent on everything Not to be outranked, the femalo echelon was represented by Wac Major Dovoy J. Rountree No mention of class notables is complete without due doforence to tho British accented, hirsute genius. Mr. Garland Puckett. Few men in any law school can lay claim to a more systematic and never ceasing pursuit of the law. At the helm of the class for the second year was William Ramsey, president; Orgrotte Graham, vico-president; Charlie Lovett, secretary; James MacAlister. treasurer. Francisco A. Rodriguez, and Lawrence Smith, class representatives on the Court of Peers. Spring of 1949 saw one of the most lively elections for the position of Chief Justice of the Court ol Peers ever staged at Howard University. It was a throo way race with Lawrence Smith. Edward K. Nichols and Francisco A Rodriguez carrying tho banner lor their respective parlies There were speeches, debates and recriminations. When the dust scttlod Rodriguez had won. The warriors shook hands and the atmosphere of Auld Lang Syne prevailed again. The last year was not without its tense moments Few of us have yet recovered from the epochal lecture during which Mr. Washington spent an hour giving law reviews to be road; the miracle was that he meant it. The thundering voice of Doan Johnson still rings in our ears: That is my position and I defy you to reach any other conclusion I still writhe with pain when I remember how one ol my pet labor theories was pulverized under Mr. Jenkins cross examination. The last year's class activities were administered by John C Housch. president; Dovey J. Rountree, vice-president; Harold W Calhoun, secretary; James Muc Alister. treasurer; David Sloan, reporter. Garland Puckett, chaplain; Quentin Banks, sorgoant-at-arms. We leave in our wake two solidly established Greek letter organizations. Sigma Delta Tau. legal fraternity and Upsilon Sigma Iota legal sorority, a student chapter of the National Lawyer's Guild and a revitalized Law Review Staff. Whon Dean Johnson ushered us into our third and final year, we entertained no delusions. We knew that the receipt of a baccalaureate degree in law is but the beginning for those who have chosen the priesthood of justice. I am quite sanguine of success for all of the mombers of tho clacc Tho fact that wo have been apprisod of the legal as well as the practical aspect of our work, bodes well for tho future. Whether wo go forth as crusaders or whether we only dedicate ourselves to the sheer dictates ol professionalism of legal work, the onus of building a better community during this stage of socio-political renaissance is inescapable. Therefore when wo build, lot us think that we build forever; let it not be for the present use or the present delight alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for. and let us remember as we lay stone upon stono that the time is to como when those stones will be hold sacred because our hand have touched them; and that men will say. as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them: See what our fathers did for us. •Orgrette Graham and Reginald Jackson, class representatives on the Court ol Peers. L 134 J Th� Court ol Peers gave its lirsl annual dinner live years ago. and the dinner continues to draw a large audience ol students, faculty members, alumni and prominent guests and Iriends ol the Law School. EXTREME RIGHT: The incoming Chicl ol the Court ol Peers. Francisco A. Rodriguez, gets a warm welcome Irom iriends and well-wishers. COURT OF PEERS BANQUET There are men and classes of men that stand above the common herd: the soldier, the sailor, and the shepherd not infrequently; the artist raroly; rarer still, tho clergyman; the physician almost as a rule. He is tho flower of our civilization (such as it is); and whon that ctago of man is done with, and only remembered to bo marvolod at in history, ho will bo thought to have shared as littlo as any in the defects of the period, and most notably oxhibitod the virtues of the race. Generosity ho has, such as is possible to those who practice an art, never to those who drive a trado; discretion, tested by a hundred secrets; tact, tried in a thousand embarassmonts; and what are more important. Horaclean cheerfulness and courage. So it is that he brings air and cheer into the sickroom, and often enough, though not so often cs he wishes, brings healing MEDICIN r i DEDICATION We. Ihe staff, dedicate this section to Granville Green. lr.. a member oi our class who is under the care of the “Great Physician”. In the future, as we peruse this volume, he will be included in our memories of the great struggle . GRANVILLE GREEN. JR- DR. JOSEPH L.

When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest! if you must—but never quit. Success is failure turned inside out— The silver tint of the clouds ol doubt — And you never can tell how close you are.

Our first attack was mot with “stiff” opposition by that sagacious defender, Gen. Cobb and his equally battle-wise Lieut . Dr. Lloyd. They met and parried our dissecting pincers with Cannons of great proportions” and they had the “Master Keys” of stratogy which almost spelled defeat. Endangered, yet stimulated. by fear of being trapped in tho third ventricle, we escaped swiftly through the Aqueduct of Sylvius. We whirled to laco tho menace of illegal bacteriological warfare in which a minad of acidfast rods were hurled at us. We mot the attack and subdued Gen. Moore only because we had had a successful experience in biochemical warfare against Gen. Wil-korson. In the chill of the following February, we were outflanked, frozen” into sections by Gen. McKinney, and made to look like seven day ombryos Alas! We were imprisonod by Gen. Young, but we escaped from our cells” and traced tho fibers back to our lines of defense. After one year of such an aggrossivo encounter we had only seven casualties. After spending tho summor in rest camps, on the beaches and in the pools, wo regrouped our forces and renewed tho onslaught. Wo met with initial success by wiping out tho plague which swept down from Gen. Wobb's parasitology laboratory This was accomplished by eradicating the many fleas that appeared after tho canine campaign against Gen. Wier. Our secret service informed us of the nature of the basic pathology which was studied by one of our most respected adversaries. Gen Jason. Armed with this information, and shot” guns loaded with their ov n Gen. Maloney's prescription, we eradicated their entire force. We reviewed the vital statistics, calculated tho morbidity and specific mortality and instituted Public Hoclth measures. Our intelligence brought back reports that a counterattack was being planned across the street , so wc repaired for another summer to consolidate our position and diagnose our force's ills with the aid of laboratory and physical diagnostic methods The minor skirmish was over and the major encounter now faced us. Tho counter-attack was gained on Bryant Stroel with only sixty-five of our men loft. We marched in with short, clean, white coats and secret weapons in our little bags; their seciet unknown even to ourselves. All of our men spent many sleepless nights in the obstretrical fields trying not to do a Crede on a relaxed organ ization such as Gen. Ross' battalion. We had to continually protect ourselves against the attacks of Gen. Drew's shock' troops. The field” was contaminated by Gen. Syphax’s carcinogenic agents We were further threatened by the I and other radioactive elements of Gen. Thomas, the electrocardiographic tracer bullets of Gen Keller, the latest advances of Gen. Brown which gave many of us Karoo's syndrome and we sustained many crippling fractures which wo repaired with Manley-Thomas splints and Gladden-Kirchncr wires. Fortunately, we had roentgenological eyes with which wo looked into the windows of the soul and viowod our neurotic and psychotic opponents, victims of our complex maneuvers Gen Williams wont awry and wo incarcerated him. We started gas warfare which reduced their (breathing) reservo and they wore savod from doom only by the anterolateral of Gen Laurey. Wo assaulted them frequently, diurnal and nocturnal and with Staghorn stones. Without hesitancy Gen. Jones sounded rotreat and Gen. Price evacuated tho residuals with a complex drainage system. The uncontrollable Looies chased Gen. Freeman and Gathings over Cornelly's fields. Yes. we had them on the run, thoir time was up and they know it. Wo didn't stop for much rest evon after the third year. Doggedly we chased and captured Gen. Houston in the laboratory and Gen Watson in the anterior chamber where he had hidden. We had “sworn by Apollo to continue the strife. Luckily for us. their weary men slept and only Gen. LoCompt kept a vigilant watch. While they lay anesthetized, we utilized our last opportunity to capture on time” Gen. Harris from the out-patient depart mont. We boiled Gen. P. T. Johnson in a wax bath until he cried, Iontophoresis . We bound Gen. J. B Johnson in a special cardiac catheter and bombarded Gen Kelly with beta and gamma rays from Gen. Lawlaw's machine. All of the high commanders were captured Tho enemy slept like babies and Gen. Scott the only one remaining, took over. Invigorated with the taste of victory, we passed before the reviewing stand and on the day of June 9. 1950, received symbols of our accomplishment at tho hand of the Commander in Chief. President Mor-decai W Johnson. This was truly a battle long to bo remembored. Veni. Vidi. Vici” “In hoc signovinces J. C. Gibbs. IV.

IV., in Jorsoy had all the world agog, he had the swankiest Mental Health Resort that ever had existed. The patients, though of variod and sundry typos, seemed to have one thing in common, the ability to pay their fees, and they were exorbitant. Visiting staff member Miss Nellie Mitchell, though yet quite interested in anal-oral fixations and dream stuff, was finding little time to do other than roar her six boys. Arthur Trent has a very lucrative practice in Los Angeles, psycho-analysing all the stars, while Katzman was National President of the Union of Dynamic Psychiatrists fora More Progressive World. Ryckoff was well established as the Chief of Staff at St. Elizabeth's Hospital. For some obvious reasons, a number of the class had confinod themselves to dolivoring babios and treating the mothers too From far and wide, the women came, a flocking to Baltimore to be treated by the great De'Loss Berry of lohns Hopkins staff. Janet Eve had a million dollar place in fair Hot Springs. Hydrotherapy, minoral baths, and massages wore all essential adjuncts for her care of women. The most eligible bachelor in Washington. Emwood Odom, commandeered a practice (women only) that netted him (gossips say) a six figure income, and plenty of affection, too. Now, Harry Paul, the picturo of success, could boast that ho had treated millions of women of all nationalities. And that somehow, their courses never seemed completed, and yet their sources of income had sadly been dopleted Whilo in romantic Port-of-Spain. Malcolm West, was titular dean of all the gynecologists. A visit with that varity, the great g p . he still remains the most beloved figure in any community. Conner in Mississippi. Crowder (alias Mrs. M C.J.) in Charleston. S. C.. Joseph Jones and Dennard in North Carolina. Robinson of Florida and Holt of Atlanta. Georgia, all had successful practices below tho Mason-Dixon line. Yet despite their heavy duties, they all without a doubt, find time to give their services in running Jim Crow out. Potts in Detroit. Hawkins in Philly, Pnmas in Pittsburgh. and Mehlinger in Washington, are all mon of renown, for they can deliver babies, as well as pare a corn. Laing in Panama City is as busy a6 can be, lor in addition to his practice, he has to spend his time straightening his country’s economy. Ramoutes. congenial as ever, is known all over B W I. as Rusty the happy doctor. The class of '50 is well represented on the clinical staff of Freedmen's. Pretty Boys' Crocker and McMahon are both in general surgery. Miriam Chivors and Sue Gordon, arc outstanding Pediatricians, result of training, as well as adequate homo experience. Kid Jeffries is quite skilled in treating urethral structures and phlegmons. Anderson, A Jones, F Smith and Morris are all staff men in the department of Medicine. Bill Reid in Cardiology, is plaguing all the juniors, for he's discovered a now mothod of recording intracardiac pressure, and they, poor souls, must learn this additional knowledge. Wendell Lucas in Public Health, has just returned from a study of privies in Siberia. While Griffin in Oncology, is rated as the best dressed man in tho hospital Tho most meticulous physician in tho placo is Hatch Hunter in the Department of Radiology Strange, as it seems, only one member has gone into Research. Arnold Jacobs is chief of the clinical research bureau in Metcbolic diseases in Washington. On and on they did appear, in cities, town, and dosorts. ubiquitous as the microbes, they all had sworn to conquer. Achong. Jorsling. Tracy and Franklin surprised everyone (including themselves) for they had returned to B. W I. and established a circuit clinic. Shepard. Wharton, and Smithey had decided to form a team, so they could follow the races and keep their practices too. Prescod and Texiora had busy urban practices in Boston. White, Quarles. Clark, and Simmons had banded to lorm the only hospital of its kind, a place for wayward children with only medically trained personnel. Crombie in Tennessee, Roddix in Louisiana. McCottry in Maryland. Edwards in New Jersey, all had thriving rural practices. While Levy in Opthalmol-ogy. and J Johnson in Physical Medicine managed somehow to ply their highly specialized skills along tho gravol roads. My sight grows dim, the visions disappear, and now we find ourselves back in the 50th year.

Future Teachers of America Ambition To be a Music Teacher (170) State of the 'Union The School ol Music ol Howard Univorsity has occupied a very unique position in its contribution to Music Education and American culture since its incipience in 1906 under the direction ol Miss Lulu Vere Childers. It is the first among Negro schools to oflor the Mus. B degree. Since the field of music is broadening and becoming a much less restricted fiold, this institution is faced with the gigantic responsibility ol boing the only Negro professional school of music in Negro universities. Today, the music school is at the zenith of its development, offering coursos in almost every field of musical endeavor, including music thoory. music history. voice, piano, organ, violin, orchestral instruments, and music education. Concomitant with this, there is a teaching staff of musicians who are graduates from many of tho most distinguished schools in this country Among this number aro Doan Warner Lawson, a graduate of Harvard and Yale Universities, a gifted choral conductor and pianist; Thomas H. Kerr. Jr.. Associate Professor of Piano, a graduate of the Eastman School of Music, a distinguished pianist and composer; Mark Fax. Assistant Professor of Piano, a graduate of the Eastman School of Music and tho University of Syracuse, a noted pianist and composer; Edward Matthews. Professor of Voice, a graduate of Fisk University, a concert artist and Broadway celebrity; Camille Nickerson. Associate Professor of Piano, a graduate of Oberlin College and a rising authority in the field of Creole folk music. These and other members of the faculty are preparing music students of Howard University for their cultural contributions and their places in society The school of music is exerting a considerable influence upon what Doctor Alaine Locke terms ’’the new Negro —a Negro who is no longer restricted to a chauvinistic, nationalistic culture, but is participating in an integrated American culture A classical example of this new movement is the University Choir which has elicited praise in superlative terms from music critics throughout the land because of its superior lovel of performance and its repertory of standard musical literature. Another stop towards cultural integration is the yearly musical symposium with the music students of the Juilliard School of Music in New York in which Howard and luilliard students exchange ideas and views on current musical subjects. Those activities indicate one indelible fact: that our musical culture at Howard is not limited by racial chauvinism and nationalism, which are deadly weapons against any ultimate cultural achievements. The objectives of the school of music are fourfold: to afford adequate opportunity for the finest training possible to professional students in tho understanding, performance and creation of music: to contribute to the students' cultural development through opportunity for work in liberal arts subjects; to undertake an important rolo in revitalizing creative activity in our uniquo field of indigonous music; and to molivato and stimulate scholarly research in this fiold.

In order that a now birth ol moral Iroedom may bo croatod in the hearts ol people overywhoro, you, tho members ol tho Senior Class, must speak tho truth, and readily and willingly minister to people and to thoir spiritual and social neods. Tho world needs you The urgency ol tho situation should create a sense ol deep moral responsibility on your part The lights are going out. tl indeed they havo not already been completely extinguished Tho black-out ol decency and truth and brotherhood seems almost universal But the darkness does not blot out tho light ol the stars; it only makes thoir light shmo brighter You men arc going to preach and minister to a world that is disillusioned. You arc going to preach to a world that believed machines, wealth, and sell-sufficioncy would ushor in the Now Order. It now realizes that unless knowledge and matorial progress aro pormeatod and directed by a deep moral sensitivity, those things become as a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. The proud, sophisticated world ol yesterday is moribund. You will preach to a world whoso men and women are seoking earnestly lor the torch that will blaze lor them a new pathway to laith and Iroedom. Your task must be to prepare such congenial soil in the hearts ol aion at will mako possiblo tho proper germination ol the seeds ol Liberty and justice Only by so doing will those seeds burgeon lorlh and bear Iruit Itt lor Lite's tomorrow As ministers, you are laced with the responsibility ol sensitizing your people lo a social ideal capable ol arresting their imagination with a captivating loyalty.
