MA JOR DAVIS jk PHESIDE Major Harwell G. Davis' years of administration at Howard have not been easy ones. When he took over the task of leading the college, it was heavily in debt. Major Davis saw her through this crisis safely only to be confronted with the prob- lem of running a college during a war. The Navy has added greatly to the prestige of the school, but many problems have arisen in correlating civilian and Naval stu- dents activities. The varied positions that he has held have well fitted him for the task. Major Davis has endeared himself to the campus, not only through his business ability but also because of his friendly attitude toward the students. Moreover many of us even now realize that the character of Major Davis is the kind that Howard may build upon through the years. And to his character we give our deepest respect and loyalty.
