HISTORY OF CLASS OF ’21

Like Vergil, we sing of arms and the heroes who, cast forth by fate, came from the Atlantic coasts and the shores of the Pacific to Howard. Much were they tossed about by the sophisticated Sophomores above them and hazed on every side until organized under the banner of ’21, they turned and drove the Sophs, before them : whence class of ’21, leaders of Howard and future leaders of the race. Having completed the cycle of four revolving years in which we have known toil and pleasure, sorrow and joy, we have at last reached the sum­ mit of the college world. We have attained the honored rank of Seniors. W e stand now, as the central power station, pulsating vital energy through­ out the entire university. Ours is a history, not one of mere class achievements, experiences, hopes and aspirations, but one of a vivid portrayal of those characteristics, qualities, principles, emotions and deeds upon which is built the success of every glorious class, race and nation. Here standing, as it were, on the crest of the college world and at the base of the upward climb of the life beyond the college, the class of ’21, peering out from the shadows of the past into the promise of the future, would reveal to the world the secrets of her achievements and successes during her sojourn of four years at Howard. Would that our words might have the power to make the reader not only see cur activities but share in our emotions.

T he Class o f ’21 as Freshmen Four years ago a barbaric hoard of one hundred and thirty Freshmen invaded Howard. Scarcely had they entered the campus grounds when the Sophomores sallied down upon them. Not able to res­ train their eagerness for fun until night with its deepening shadows should furnish a cover for their pranks, the Sophomores showered upon the un­ initiated Freshmen a fusilade of foolish questions. The Freshmen’s So- cratic replies to these questions gave warning to the sophisticated Sophs, that they had a resolute, invincible and unconquerable class with which to d e a l. For the first two nights the cry of “Sophomores up!’’ meant that the Sophomores were holding fast in their clutches some poor incautious Freshmen. But from the third night onward to the end of our Fresh-

O man year, this same cry was an emergency call summoning the Sopho­ mores to the aid of their brothers who had fallen victims into the hands of the lion hearted Freshmen of ’21.

Unconquered spiritually but defeated physically did we come forth from our first public contest with the Sophomores. We say unconquered because our spirit and morale remained untouched and uncrushed from the din of the encounter. And the army whose courage and morale remains unshaken is not conquered by the losing of a battle. Even the enemy’s joy and ardor in his victory is dampened by the display of unbroken cour­ age and cheerfulness on the part of the loser. Judging from the yelling and cheering of the Freshmen of ’21, one would not have concluded that the judges had decided upon the Sophomores of ’20 as the winners of the annual Freshman-Sophomore debate for 1917. The shouting and cheer­ ing of ’21 reached the zenith of human utterance when the judges awarded a member of class of ’21 the prize for the best individual debater of the e v e n in g .

The keynote of our fate had been sounded and, in the Freshman- Sophomore football game on the day following the debate, our luck did not change. We see again in our minds that never-to-be-forgotten con­ test. The chill of that day makes one shudder to think of it even now. Heavy frozen snow covered the campus. Sharp cold winds numbed our finger tips and ears. Struggling under the handicap of a lighter weight team, the team of ’21 again and again carried the ball forward toward the goal line only to be pushed back by the onslaught of the heavy weight Sophomores. Here on this cold and frozen field of ice the girls of ’21 dis­ played their loyalty and heroism. Up and down the frozen field they ran, holding up the red and black banner of ’21, shouting to the men strug­ gling to uphold the honor of ’21— “Hold up the banner of ’21. Don’t let the colors of ’21 trail in the dust.” Catching Lhe echo of this cry, the team of ’21 fought with renewed vigor but the gods were against us, again the Freshmen lost.

In basket ball the gods were more kind and ’21 won a victory of 17 to 11 over the Sophomores. The girls’ basket ball team of ’21 won the champ­ ionship for 1917-18 defeating all girls’ class teams on the Hill. Four Freshmen girls from ’21 made the Varsity basket ball team for 1917-18.

In joy and revelry did we, the Freshmen of ’21, feast at our banquet— the last class banquet held during our stay in the university.

O Bound together by the ties of mutual suffering, we separated for the summer vacation with a spirit of deep rooted brotherly love that victories alone could never have brought about. We had known the glory of defeat.

T he Class of ’21 as Sophomores

The second year in our upward climb found the whole world in a state of turmoil and war. It was the third year of the great World War. The United States had entered the war on the side of the Allies, and was call­ ing men to arms from every walk of life.

With great anxiety to know how many of her sons the war had called to its ranks, ’21 returned to Howard for its Sophomore year. But it was to a different Howard indeed, that we returned. Gone were the familiar scenes of the year before. The grass of the usually beautiful green campus had disappeared— trodden down under the heavy boots of soldiers who had occupied the campus during our absence. Unpainted wooden bar­ racks jarred the harmony of the architecture on the campus. Serious faced, khaki clad Sophomores replaced the jauntily dressed Freshmen of the year before. Howard had been converted into an army training camp.

It is the test of war that proves the m an; and under this crucial test, the men of ’21 proved themselves true sons of the race. It is with pardon­ able pride that we point out to you the achievements and distinctions at­ tained by the Sophomores of ’21 in the summer Student Officers Training Camp and in the subsequent Students’ Army Training Corps at Howard. It was due mainly to the efforts of the eight men representing ’21 at the camp, that the summer training camp was the great success that it was. Mr. Phillip T. Johnson of ’21 held the rank of Student M ajor both at the summer camp and the S. A. T. C. of the following fall and winter. With pride, ’21 singled out her sons by their proud military bearing and inimi­ table cadence in the daily evening parades held on the campus.

As the story of any great war is incomplete without mention of the heroic efforts and sacrifices of the women of that war, so the story of Twenty-one’s Sophomore year of military life at Howard would be in­ complete if the heroic deeds of the Sophomore girls of ’21 should pass unsung. In a great effort to ward off that dreadful epidemic of Spanish influenza then sweeping over the country, the girls of ’21 were organized into a military battalion. They were subjected to the severe discipline of

G army life. Several girls from ’21 gave faithful service as commissioned and non-commissioned officers. These heroic efforts of rising at the break of day and tramping on hikes of many miles, were rewarded by the year’s closing without a single case of influenza among the girls on the Hill. Clad in the real khaki uniforms, the girls rivaled the boys in drilling.

Twenty-one also gave up her quota of men to go forth to fight in the actual encounters on the Western Front. Many of these served as lieutenants, sergeants and corporals of armies both over here and in France.

Serious thought of the great World War did not prevent us from fulfilling our duty to the Freshmen of ’22 (that of initiating them into the mysteries of Howard life). These Sophomore-Freshman encounters sometimes vied in daring and strategy wuth those on the western battle front. Tears of laughter fill our eyes whenever we think of the pranks practiced by ’21 upon that young mob of two hundred green and over­ confident Freshmen of ’22. Will the girls of ’21 ever forget how they used to take particular pains to let the “Freshies” see them get dressed up in their very best as if preparing to attend a class dance; and then all dressed up, go to no place but class meeting? We can never forget that night that the “Paenies,” intent upon breaking up the Sophomore party that our fine clothes led them to believe we were about to celebrate, attacked room 209 of the main building. And long will the Freshmen of 22 remember the reception of crayons, erasers, and frozen mud and water that greeted them at the door.

In the annual Sophomore-Freshman Debate of 1918-19, we were de­ feated by the Freshm en; but looking upon this as an accident, we cheered the louder. It was only our unconquerable spirit that caused us to engage in the Sophomore-Freshman football contest of that year. W ith our regular players away in France we entered the contest with only eleven men. In the first half we held the advancing Freshmen back; but the Freshmen reserves in the second half proved too much for our exhausted eleven and the game closed with a score of 14 to 0 in favor of the Freshmen.

It was in our Sophomore year that the members of ’21 began to take their rightful place in the extra-curricula activities of Howard life. The prowess of three of her sons was recognized on the Varsity football squad and on the track team. Leading parts in the supper shows, presented by the Dramatic Club, were played by the members of ’21. Even in the very limited cast of the University’s big play, “The Truth,” Twenty-one suc-

O ceeded in having one of its members play a prominent part. Twenty- one was well represented by its Sophomores in the Stylus and Glee clubs.

Twenty-one attributes the success of its second year in the activities of Howard life to its wonderful unity and harmony of spirit brought about through our defeats. We were mutual sufferers in a common cause. We had but one aim— to establish the prestige of ’21.

This spirit of brotherly love that has been the redeeming feature of the class of ’21 was fostered by our “Get-together” parties held in Miner Hall on the first Saturday night in each month. In the years to come, sweet memories of these Saturday night parties will serve to keep the hearts of members of ’21 bound closer together in the ties of brotherly lo v e .

T he Class of ’21 as Juniors

Entering upon the third year of our life at Howard, we assumed the dignity of upper classmen. Our first task was the pleasant one of helping to organize our proteges, the Freshmen, into a strong factor in the Uni­ versity activities. In anticipation of these duties we had written letters of welcome to all prospective Freshmen of Howard for 1920. We imbued them with our own enthusiasm and good cheer. Our formal reception to the Freshmen in the form of a semi-carnival proved a most fitting welcome inasmuch as it gave the Freshmen an idea of the dignity and fun that can be combined in a college social. The good results of our labors were shown in the victories of the Freshmen of ’23 over the Sophomores of ’22 in every Freshman-Sophomore class contest of 1919-20.

Realizing that a great responsibility for the general spirit and culture of the student body and the dramatic and literary advancement rested on ’21 as one of the upper classes, we devoted our attention and time to the advancement of every phase of college life. On the Varsity football team, four men distinguished themselves on the gridiron. On the Varsity debating team Mr. W. T. Andrews and Mr. G. W. Brown of ’21 upheld the honor of Howard. To the untiring efforts of Mr. George Brown of ’21, business manager of the Dramatic Club, “Thais,” the Howard play for 1920, owes much of its success both in Washington and Baltimore.

To ’21, in her Junior year, belongs the honor of organizing the H. T. Burleigh Club, the first college club for research in Negro music. Only members of the odd year classes were eligible for membership in this club.

A unique reception, in the form of a mock wedding— the marriage of the Senior Class to the W orld— closed the activities of ’21 for the Junior year of our life at Howard.

T he Class of ’21 as Seniors

Having learned well the lessons gathered from the experiences of Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, Twenty-one returned to Howard resolved to make 1921 the banner year of her college life. We have accomplished our aim. And although the year is yet unfinished, we have accomplished those things, for the good of the University now and hereafter, which will cause our praises to be sung throughout the ages.

Possessed of all the dignity desired of Seniors, but happily wanting in that air of forced dignity so common to Senior classes in the past, Twenty-one moved with the easy manners of fellow-companions among the students of lower rank. Thus ’21 has won the confidence and friend­ ship of the lower classes to a degree which no other Senior class in the history of our life in the University has been 'able to gain. And thus we established the basis of our powerful influence for good on the student body of Howard University.

Long after our individual names shall have been forgotten, our efforts and accomplishments in the work of the Student Council will be remem­ bered. The one name that will live forever in connection with the Student Council, or any form of student self-government at Howard University, is that of George Brown of ’21, the first pi’esident of the Council. By means of his fearless courage and untiring labor, Mr. Brown has proved to both the faculty and the student body of Howard that college students are capable of handling to a large extent all matters pertaining to student activities and discipline. Through the efforts of the president and other members of the Senior class, student self-government at Howard has evoloved from a dream into a practical working factor in the student life.

The year 1921 teems with our achievements in every phase of Univer­ sity life. In the work of the Dramatic Club, members of ’21 have played leading roles in the two presentations of this year. A majority of the student members of the editorial staff of the University Record is composed of Seniors. Four efficient assistant teachers in sciences and languages

a o in the university have been selected from the ranks of ’21. On the Varsit; debating team, ’21 is represented. On the honor roll, ’21 will have a high percentage. Several members will be graduated with exceptional honors.

While taking the lead in the intellectual, spiritual and cultural life of Howard, ’21 has played well her part in the athletic life of Howard for 1920-21. Five sons of ’21, as members of the Varsity football squad, at­ tracted attention on the gridiron by their remarkable playing. Under the captaincy of Jesse Lawrence, of ’21, the 1920 Varsity football team of Howard established an unequaled record by returning as victors from every contest of the football season of 1920. The work of John Nurse and Charles Brannon of ’21 deserve special mention. These names will be immortal because they not only won an unequaled championship record for Howard for 1920, but they have established a precedent which will serve as a challenge to the football teams of Howard throughout the years to come. And thus the championship without the loss of a single game will become the tradition of Howard.

In the social life of Howard, ’21 has attained an enviable place. Up to the present time this year, ’21 has given three successful entertainments and dances. The unique Frivolity Day, Senior Prom, and Class Day planned for ’21, attest the fact of Twenty-one’s love for originality.

Now at the parting of the ways we predict, not like Vergil that some will surpass us in one phase of life and others in another, but that some representative of ’21 shall excel in every walk of life. To the canopy of Heaven, shall ’21 raise her glory and throughout the ends of the earth shall she extend her influence.

HEARD AND SEEN

By Harriet Dorsey.

There was a class on Howard hill, And it was wondrous smart; It could un-physic Physics 1, And un-art Household Art. It could un-bottle Bot’ny too; But yet, howe’er it cram There was one thing it could not do— Un-flunk a flunked exam.

One of the distractions of Senior class day, will be a solo by Mr. George Brown.

Miss George Green may know how to draw a Green lamp, but I won­ der if she can draw a Hard-wick.

We don’t know whether Mabel Garrett has Irish blood or not, but she does seem to like Green.

I wonder why Bill Wethers Spen(ds)ce so much time in the A. K. A. h o u s e .

Have you noticed how very interested Julia Alston has been in Medieval Architecture lately? W ell! I might say, she is especially interested in those old castles having a High-tower.

We have all heard of a string of Pearls, but one young man of ’21 has a P a(i)ge containing Miles of them.

H ist! A secret has just come to light. The reason Hattie Robinson has been so cold and distant to the young men of H-U. is: the one at W ilberforce is so much more interesting. How’s ’at, boys?

O WANTED— A Foreman for a Rice plantation. Can’t you hear the Rice plants Russell, Bernice?

There was a young lady named Gretchen, Whose manner you know was quite “fetchin.” They say there’s no doubt When J. H. is about, The looks she gives him are “techin.”

Mary Shannon’s favorite records on the victrola are Bert Williams’ selections. She says that they remind her of “Her-Bert.” Now Mary? ? ?

Some of our girls have made a wonderful record in stringing up hearts during the four years they have been at Howard, but Velda Brown has far out-stripped them all in one year. Her record so far is five here, besides the one she left in Nashville who sends her a letter daily. Some record!

TELL US QUICKLY— Why Anna Cooper has changed that diamond from the third finger of her left hand, to the third finger of her right hand? Perhaps E. M. can tell. And then tell us, if the rings, plain and diamond; the frat pin; and the half dozen pictures on Mayme Shaw’s dresser all came from the sa m e m a n ?

Mr. William Nelson’s dream of an ideal American girl, contains bobbed hair, and a bicycle, as its most essential points.

Longmire, we have all been thinking What a gay one you would be, If instead of leaving this year, You should stay ’til ’23. Note: Mr. Longmire was too dignified to even look at a Senior girl in ’17-’18. In ’19-’20 he did notice that there were girls at Howard. Last year he admitted that they were interesting; and this year he feels blue if he has to go twenty-four hours without hearing the rustle of a certain little Freshman’s gown. We are not sure whether Irene Baxter has succeeded in capturing the “Chair” or not. When last seen, she was on her way to the Carri- bean Club dance with him. Don’t “sit” on him too hard, Irene.

Which does Irene Miller like most; W ard’s cake, St. Nicholas mag­ azine, or Rozier’s Nazimova eyes.

Anne seems quite meek and quiet now When talking to her Ross, But just you wait until they’re married; Then see who’ll be the boss.

“Pat” has quit mothering “Chick,” in order to sooth Payne.

Mayme so sweet and graceful, W illowy and tall, Surely does look winsome When she goes to walk with Paul.

Marie Stark’s favorite song is: “Take your girlie to the movies.” This verse especially appeals to her— “ If your sweet Patootie is a grocery clerk, Close your eyes and think you’re kissing Billie Burke.”

Olive Bond surely does believe in keeping ’em well trained. She takes Pope along to everything she goes to, and if she finds that a function is strictly feminine, she just ties him outside until time to go h o m e .

1st ’21— “Do you know why Lena Edwards was so anxious to make up a year and go down the hill so soon?” 2nd ’21— “Er, why you know Keith is down there and is also a member of ’21.”

To see Ella Payne around school, one would think that she never thought of anything except lessons, but you all know that no young lady goes to the Congressional Library every night for nothing.

21’s ODE TO HOWARD

I

Dear Howard, we from thee depart In grief, but love forever fond Shall be our guide as now we start; Thy name our true and faithful bond, Our hearts as pure and wills as firm, With aims above thine other sons, And great desires within do burn Thy children dear of Twenty-one.

II

Now proud to be descendents real Of thee our own sweet mother tree; These four long years have made us feel, Thy love and care have set us free From chains unpleasant though so strong, That time with its great concordance Cannot unloose without thy song, “ Come truth, begone all ignorance.”

III

Confiding home of hundreds gone, Mother of thousands yet to be, Oh may thy love continue on With us to our great destiny; Where Howard shall in glory stand The greatest school in all the land. Through work and prayer will this be done By your dear class of Twenty-one.

o IV

Our lives we all now consecrate To one great human Christian task, Which is to hasten up the rate Of fading hate from creed and caste. Then only will true brotherhood, With peace and love be full of mirth, And every action shall be good W ith Heaven truly here on earth.

V

Then will dear Howard be the shrine Of pilgrims from the distant lands; And her true light will ever shine, Permitting all to join their hands In love which ever shall be first To bring real joy and happiness, By quenching in all hearts the thirst And calm the yearns for friendliness.

VI

Good-bye Juniors, our place you’ll fill, May you in our path now follow; Good-bye Sophs, in discipline drill, That you’ll bravely stand the m orrow; Farewell Freshmen, your journey’s long, Plant deep the seed these teachers give; Farewell, Mother Howard, we’ll join the throng, Of those who only in your mem’ry live.

Myles A nderson Paige, ’21.

CLASS PROPHECY

Setting: The roof-garden of a Berlin hotel ten gears hence

I had been traveling for educational purposes during the past year, and was seated alone on the roof-garden of one of the finest hotels in Ber­ lin, musing. All sorts of thoughts came into my mind only to crowd out others; but finally I began to think ten years back, of the dear old class of ’21, wondering how many were living, where they were, what they were doing, and every other thing imaginable. Suddenly a thought came to me that it might be possible to learn of them through the winds, which go everywhere, see everything, and hear everything. But how was I to get the attention of the winds? “By calling them of course,” said a still small voice. “ How shall I call them?” I asked, becoming very excited. And the answer came back clear and distinct, “Through the medium of Poetry.” And there I was without any talent whatsoever for making verse. O h! What was I to do, as anxious as I was to know about my class­ mates? But hai'k! for I suddenly found myself saying:

“Com e! 0 glorious winds of Heaven, Hovers o’er the land and sea, Come and bring me news of classmates, Who are ever dear to me.” First the North Wind, wild and cruel, came and left these at my feet: “During the past ten years Mazie Tyson, Mabel Garret, and Ella Payne have won widespread fame being now considered the three greatest chemists of the world.” “Ah! I always knew that our dear old class of ’21 would be a benefit to the world,” said I, and hastily gathered tidings of others. “ Reverend Heacock, pastor of the church of Roland will deliver his first sermon, Sunday, July 21, 1931 in the auditorium of the church.” “Reverend Heacock?” I feared the winds had deceived me, for there was none such in my class. “Reverend Heacock?” Then I remembered, our own dignified Roland. Something more— the fate of Hilda Hopewell— “Contrary to her highest ambition, Hilda has lived for ten years a life of single blessedness.” At this instant the North Wind quickly fled and I was left alone wish­ ing that the other winds would have more to offer. . . .

Then the South Wind o’er the prairie As in answer to my plea, Came and brought some slips of paper All besprinkled by the sea.

I then found in my hand a newspaper, The Nelson News, edited by our own “Love’s Labor Lost.” The first page carried a very clever car­ toon, portraying an extremely young man, standing between two beauti­ ful girls whose names were indicated as “The Inimitable Pearls.” The title of the picture was “Paige’s Dilemma,” or “Still Trying to decide W h ic h .” The following headline appeared in bold-type letters: “All the Natives of Liberia humbly bow to their New Educators, Anna Cooper and Russell Dyett.” The article stated: “Professors Cooper and Dyett are endeavoring to raise the educational standard of the natives of Liberia to that of Eu­ ropean civilization. For a number of years they have done post gradu­ ate work in some of the best universities of the world and now they are prepared to give to the world the benefit of their accomplishments.” Among “Men and Women of the Month” appeared the names of old ’21’s M.D.’s. There were Doctors Lena Edwards, Phillip Johnson, William Wethers, Keith Madison, and Mabel Lomax. All their efforts had been crowned with success, but as seems to be quite common now, the women had scaled the ladder far above the men. Lena, after a few years of practice, studied intensely in London, Paris, and Berlin, and now all eyes of the medical world are turned toward her, because of her wonderful ability to install brain substance in the heads of humans. Further down the column my glance was arrested by the following t i t l e : “A Real Estate Comet.” Reading on, I learned that of all the women who have entered the field of Real Estate, Gretchen LaCour is the most renowned. With her “gift of gab” and the natural sweetness of her voice she maintains her equilibrium and does credit to any property placed under her guardianship. Her slogan is, “A Fair deal to all.” The most outstanding article in the “Heard and Seen” column was the following: “Having grown weary of her unique Professorship in Campustry at the University of Lazy Arts, Miss Bernice Foreman has wandered to for­ eign lands and in the heart of the city of Paris has opened a ‘Beaux Arts Shop.’ All of the would-be Parisian fashion models, among whom are Mr. Jesse Lawrence, Mr. Charles Brannon, and Miss Georgia Washington, rush to the parlors of this beauty culturist to receive her services.” Oh, that was fine! but the others. There were Blanche and Julia, Geraldine and Luveta. I wanted to learn of them. But soon it came— something great: “Miss Blanche Winston sits daily at her desk in a school room with forty pupils. She wears a small white cap, her countenance is much changed, and her philosophy of life is just opposite that of her days at H oward; for now she emphasizes the maxim that regular attendance in school is of great importance.” I also learned that Julia is the sole occupant of a certain “ Hightower” in the heart of the city of Boston. Neither the star-lit sky, pretty girls and flattering boys, nor even the violin. . . Nothing can entice her to leave this “Hightower” wherein she finds the com fort and solace of a well spent l ife . And what is this? “Mrs. Marie Starks Rid. . .” N o! “Mrs. Marie Starks Bur. . . .” No! “Mrs. Marie Starks ...... ” Oh, I couldn’t make it out. At any rate it was a clipping from the “Society News” of the Los Angeles Presto Change. Our once Marie Starks is entertaining in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Marshall Ross who are attend­ ing the Doctor’s convention in that city. Good for those two— and Anne used to tell us she wasn’t going to do it. I could not learn how the ten years had been spent by Geraldine and Luveta because the dashing waves of the sea had washed away all of the le tte r s . A few minutes of silence followed— Then the East Wind young and gentle, Like a ghost that goes at sunrise Brought to me this big surprise: “ Misses Lillian Brown and Irene Miller still linger in W ashington, D.C. Daily they traverse the spacious halls of the new administration building of Howard University. They are the Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Professor of Mathematics, respectively.” Too well did I remember the boastings of Lil that she would be the first woman president of Howard University. Keep a pluggin’ away, Lil. If you’ve got your eye on heaven, Some bright day you’ll wake up there— Time its sure reward will bring; W ork and wait unwearing. “Ah m e!” I sighed, and the gentle East wind continued its story: “In a lowly cottage in Kentucky lives an old lady with her husband, Mr. Russell Rice, and ten children. Her life has been one long burden, of hunger and thirst, and cold and bitter weariness. Her husband calls her. . . .” “Nay, I entreat you. Leave no name,” I sobbed, “for it would grieve me to hear of such; but tell of more noble lives.” Gently the Wind continued: “Far off in the convent of St. Francis is the saint of our class, Miss Alfreda Nalles. She is now sister superior of the convent, and among her associate sisters are Pearl Cain and Mary Shannon. “Who could have expected less of Alfreda, but listen to what I have n o w — “Mr. George Brown has at last succeeded in being elected as most high, supreme, and exalted ruler of one of the deserted South Sea Isles. “The following is an extract from his inauguration speech: “ ‘Honorable Palm trees, Little Grains of Sand, Ye surrounding W aters of the Mighty Ocean, “ ‘I am chairman of this meeting. Speakest thou “nicht ein” word until by the words of my mouth you stand recognized.’ ” Well, Dear George, you have at last realized your dream of being sole ruler over something, without any interruption whatsoever. What fond recollections were brought to my mind and O h! how happy I w a s. “Do tell of others,” I said. The wind responded: “There is in the city of Boston a distinguished branch of the Women’s Missionary Association of which Mrs. Grace Cisco is president. Some of the most noted members are the Misses Louise Unthank, Harriet Dorsey, and Olive Bond.” Last of all but not the least Came the father, West Wind, Bringing all that he could fin d :

o “Miss Fannie Fayerman is the instructor of vocal music in the Acade­ my of Fine Arts of Berlin. Of the one hundred instructors and professors, she is one of the most eminent and her fame rests on her favorite composi­ tion, ‘Count your many blessings.’ ” Next came news of George: “One of the greatest artists of whom France boasts is Miss George Green. Her most widely known painting is the ‘Path of Life’ which hangs in the Luxembourg. “With the skillful touch of the artist, George has made the road to fame and the one to love merge. Contrary to an old belief, often ex­ pressed by George, she seems to have learned that fame cometh only with the aid of the greatest thing in the world.” “Yes, Yes,” I sighed and next came tidings of our Athlete: “Mr. Jack Nurse, the all star athlete of the world, is victor in the Olympic Games.” Again the West Wind as it raised Brought others back from by gone days:— “In the historic city of Alexandria lives a very devout Catholic who worships daily at the shrine of St. Paul.” Not recognizing immediately the person of that description I questioned further to learn that it was our own Mamie Green who had taken her abode in foreign lands, and was so happy in her marriage that her life was duplicating the name of her lover husband. Again the W ind: “And Irene Baxter has connected herself so worthily with the Social Welfare League of New York City. “Daily, between the hours of four and five, we may see her speeding in her limousine from one tenement district to another distributing the necessities of life to the unfortunate and weak. This done, we may follow her to a certain building in Wall Street, where until ‘death do them part’ she will meet the other part of her already most useful life.” With this glowing tribute, the song of the winds was completed and I was again left alone in the pale moonlight of the night. And now, dear classmates, remember the words of the immortal Booker T. W ashington: “Any man, regardless of color will be recognized and re­ warded just in proportion as he learns to do something well— learns to do it better than some one else— however humble the thing might be.”

Sixthly, we bequeath our places in the gymnasium classes which we have occupied so unwillingly with all the said articles and utensils found therein,— such as, parallel bars on which one member came near losing her life; dumb bells, indian clubs and a broken-down dilapidated piano on which the solemn strains of Humoresque were played to the accompaniment of clumsy people going thru the motions of the dance. Seventhly, we give all of the debates and football games, we did not win to the in-coming classes. Eighthly, we who reside in Miner Hall, do bequeath all the palatable and delicious soups, stews, and puddings we have regularly, to all new­ comers residing in said Hall.

Jesse Lawrence leaves all the honors he has won in football to next year’s team of Howard. Velda and Lillian Brown, who have something else in common besides names, leave their loud voices to such students as may be afflicted with weak throats. Miles Paige gives a few more yards to some poor short mortal. Pauline Phillips leaves a part of her brain to less fortunate youths who desire to shine in intellectual pursuits. Longmire doth leave one huge insatiable appetite to the newcomers in Miner Hall dining hall. George Brown gives, devises, and bequeaths his susceptibility to pretty faces. To some melancholy person, Pearl McGee leaves a thousand and one-half giggles. Julia Alston and Ann Cooper leave all of Professor Schuh’s dry jokes to the Botany classes of next year, with the stipulation that they laugh every time he tells them, tho they become trite, after being told for one hundred times. To all the popular and handsome men “Chick” Brannon leaves his ability to break the hearts of all the young ladies of the University. In conclusion, we leave President Durkee’s challenge to the successive classes to do the best they can to make Howard the greatest and most beneficial University in the world Fannie Fayerman, ’21

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY

As the term of 1920-21 approaches its close, the class of ’22 finds much pleasure in reviewing the activities in which its members have taken an active part with much honor to the class and the University as a whole. It gives the class , both collectively and individually, a keen sense of joy to have been able to make itself felt in the college life and to have brought joy and distinction to the institution through its efforts.

Members of the class have played leading roles in all the successes that have come to the University in all branches of its activities. The real backbone of the best football team that the colored race has ever produced was furnished by the class. Together with other capable players which we contributed to the team, were the nationally known quarter back and full back. In all other phases of athletics the Junior class members have been greatly responsible for many of the successes that have been achieved.

The most successful year in Dramatics owes much to the capable and energetic members of that organization com ing from the class of ’22.

The Junior class is fully cognizant of the many obligations that rest upon its shoulders. As the basis of the new and greater Howard; it realizes that the entire student life must feel its helpful influences. The scholastic and extra-curricular life together with the strictly religious activities receive the most enthusiastic support of the members of the cla ss.

There is no question with us as to what places the members of the class are going to hold in racial, national, and international affairs. The training that the individual members are now getting will fit them and give them the zeal to strive for the first places in all phases of life.

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS

io o SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY

Late in September, we of the Class of ’23, elated over our victories of the past year, returned to dear old Howard determined to “carry on” the triumphant work of our first year. Under the presidency of Mr. E. A. Simmons, and with Miss Lillian Barlow as vice-president, we set about this purpose with much zeal. How­ ever, we had not held many meetings before it was apparent that our class, too, was to go the way of other Sophomore classes. That spirit of unity, which in a large measure accounted for our success of the previous years, was sadly lacking, and as a consequence, we suffered the customary Sophomore defeat, losing both the debate and the football game, each by a low score. The same men, E. A. Simmons, E. R. Alexander, and Z. A. Looby, who as Freshmen made up our victorious team, were again chosen to represent the class. As a token of their loyalty and sacrifice, these men and those on the football team, were given numerals by the class. For the second quarter we elected as president Mr. D. Ward Nichols, and as vice-president Miss Helen Webb, under whose administration the tempest which marred the first quarter abated. The winter quarter was in every way a success. Our old spirit of unity returned and it was through this that our president was able to report a sum for the Armenian Relief greater than that of the other three classes combined. Our social efforts likewise resulted in success. But not content with the showing we had made “on the Hill,” on the evening of March eight we rendered a pro­ gram before the Epworth League of Asbury M. E. Church, which gained the applause of all W ashington. For the spring quarter we have elected as president Mr. K. R. Brown, and as vice-president Miss Lilia Martin, both of whom have been loyal workers and from whom we expect an administration excelled by none other. It remains for us to wholly redeem ourselves during this quarter by winning both the young women’s debate, and the baseball game. In collateral work our class has more than held its own. George Williams, Raymond Contee, and Kelly Perry, starred in football; George Johnson, and Clifford Clarkson represented us on the basket ball team; Joseph W. Nicholson on the Varsity yell-leader’s staff. The track team would be seriously handicapped without Raymond Contee, H. L. Rosier, J. L. Young, and Kelly Perry. Miss Helen Webb, Purvis Chesson, and George Williams have made themselves famous in dramatics. Yancy Sims, Z. A. Looby, and E. A. Simmons were chosen as members of the Varsity debating team. We are nearing the close of our second year, proud of our past suc­ cess and confident of greater achievements in the future. J

Here’s to ’24, the class that showed Howard how to wear “Paenie Caps!” Yes, how. . . . You know how!

Here’s to ’24, that came in five-hundred strong, the largest Freshman class Howard has ever known, and some say the best!

Here’s to ’24, that walked away with ’23, not once but thrice. You re­ member the first time in dear old Rankin Memorial on Dec. 4, when King, Robb, and Beaubian stood adamant like rocks of Gibraltar and convinced ’23 that Presidents of Our Republic never would and never could be elected by a direct vote of the people. Then you surely must remember how, just two days later, ’24’s staunch warriors of the gridiron defeated the mustard and lavender squad by a score of 6 to 0. Then last but not least, on Saturday, March 19th, when the “Belles” of ’24 hung the “Dumb Belles” of ’23 up in the gym on a score of 11 to 7.

Here’s to ’24 that is represented in every student activity on the Hill from the field to the platform. It gave Doneghy and Melton to the Varsity football squad; Robb and Gilbert to the Varsity debating squad; and Simms and Boland to the Varsity basket ball squad; the entire infield of the base­ ball team with the exception of the catcher; and two able representatives in the Student Council.

What if we did wear caps? It was all for the glory of ’24. So here’s to ’24 that came in meek as a lamb. May it go out like March, with a roar!

History Senior Medical Class

The members of each class leaving a college think that their class is the best class that the college has ever produced. Following the idea of evolution this should be the case, and the Medical Class of ’21 is no excep­ tion to the rule. Perhaps no class which has left the school entered so well equipped to build an efficient medical structure as this particular class. Out of a present enrollment of 34 men, 25 are college graduates holding bache­ lor degrees.

The class entered Howard University in the fall of 1917 with an enrollment of 21 men, in the midst of the preparation of this country’s first year at war with Germany. As all of the men were in the draft there was some degree of doubt in the minds of many as to how far we would get in the pursuit of our career. However we settled down to work under an efficient corps of officers with H. D. Dismukes as president and began fighting our first battles with Just, Lamb, Mitchell, and Bartsch.

The Sophomore year opened with the S. A. T. C. a very good branch of the army, in that we were permitted to remain in school and conse­ quently did not lose one day from classes. That year we acquired nine new members and lost one of the old ones. We spent a successful year under the leadership of L. D. Turner as president.

The session of 1919-20 was ushered in with no outside influences to distract our attention. The thoughts of having to face Ecker, Burbank and Williston however, were enough to keep us busy. This was perhaps our most important year as it was the one of transition, the changing from the study of theory to that of practical medicine. Under the leadership of N. D. Hightower, as president, the transition was easily made, and, with the addition of two new members, the class with an enrollment of 33, com­ pleted the Junior year.

The time of graduation is near at hand and from 21 Freshmen in 1917 the class has developed into 34 young doctors well equipped and ready to enter upon the service of humanity. n a G

Four years ago on one autumnal day, eighty-seven different species and types of Freshman dental students stood gaping at the medical build­ ing, asking various old students the situation of “Those Howards” and “Kelly Miller’s University.” It did not take these eighty-seven students long to learn all about “Those Howards,” for they were a most adaptable group and soon experienced no thrill when addressed as “Doctor.” They soon had a meeting to organize the class; at this meeting Mr. Harry Wilson was elected president, and Mr. Reginald Matthews vice- president. The class soon learned that there was war in other places besides Europe, for the barrage of “ologies” which confronted it, was deadlier than the stacatto resonance of a machine gun. However, the class completed its first year at Howard University successfully, with the exception of a few who were caught in Uncle Sam’s drag net. The Sophomore year was the year of America’s entry into the war; and the establishment of the S. A. T. C. threw a scare into us all. Most of the members of the class had registered in the Medical Reserve and were immediately transferred to the S. A. T. C. We pass briefly over that period with its ludicrous incidents, with its “reveille” and early risings, and finally with its disbanding which brought joy to us all. The class elected Mr. Reginald Matthews as president, and Mr. James Hubbard as vice- president for that year. The beginning of the Junior year brought with it a certain amount of pseudo-dignity, over-developed heads and expanded chests. The class promised to do big things, but what actually was done has never been discovered. Suffice to say the class elected Mr. James Hubbard as pres­ ident, and Mr. Claude Byrd as vice-president. Our Senior year was ushered in with fear and apprehension. The efforts of three years would be crystallized in our Senior year. All pretense of dignity was dropped as a needless garment, for we felt, in the words of Charles Gilpin, “We travel fast when traveling light.” There is no doubt that most of the class have been traveling light. The class elected Mr. Goldie Ghan as president, and Mr. James Hubbard as vice- president. The four years that we have spent at the dental school have been at times as a giorious dream and at times as a nightmare, but the saddest and most pathetic incident of our career was the loss of three of our classmates; namely, Mr. Johnson, who lost his life when a torpedoed trans­ port went dow n; and Messrs. Thomas and Jones, who sacrificed themselves for an education. The class will always remember these men as true gentlemen of noble and exemplary character, and feels a sincere regret that these men were denied the privilege of finishing the race which they had so admirably begun. N o t e :—M r. Reginald Matthews is the first Howard Dental graduate to be appointed on the Interne Staff at the Kansas City Hospital. This appoinment is both a credit to Howard and a merited honor to this highly efficient student. Industry and effort will crown with success his bril­ liant career in the Kansas City Hospital as they have done here. Howard loves him ; Howard will miss him ; yet she feels proud to give to the world so worthy a son. IS 1 I 1 1 PHARMACEUTICAL COLLEGE BECKLEY, CLAY RANDOLPH, “Doc Jr.”

nfcS a History Senior Law Class

After three years of toil and struggle the Law Class of 1921 comes to the end of its journey. To recount the signposts and singular events of our onward march is a task that involves the world and its problems. In spite of the engulfing World War, we entered upon our work with hope and enthusiasm. We look back to those days and find a harsh and exacting military system, subjecting our classmates to the rigors of camp life and hostilities of the European battlefields. Though marked with gas and wounds we returned to complete our interrupted course. And now with pardonable pride we point to three years of faithful effort in the study of law. We have met all requirements of our Alma Mater, and are now at the threshold of a professional career. The experiences of camp and class room will amply fit us to face the duties of life. “The salvation, perpetuity and complete development of the United States depend upon adherence to the principles on which the law is based, and it is the duty of the lawyers of the country to teach the people this essential and fundamental truth.” In leaving we submit ourselves to the ever critical public, and what­ ever success may come to us, we shall be happy to have merited this well won praise.

M o t t o : “Excelsior”

When the Senior Class began its career last October, the hindrances were such that it was thought some of its members would have to fall out, but through struggles and many sacrifices, we have been able to sur­ mount these hindrances and come thus far victorious. Though we may show signs of the conflict at times, yet we will press on until we have reached the coveted goal. Battling our way through the Junior year amid the array of talented students, the class withstood the “acid test” and won the Dodge scholarship, also the prizes of the Maynard Literary Society in debating. As Middlers the friendly contests still raged, yet the class held its own.

The class has been considered and represented in all forward move­ ments of the department and of the University. Mr. Wm. S. French, presi­ dent of the Maynard Literary Society, succeeded in winning the Pomeroy prize for scholarship. Mr. A. W. Womack was chosen as a delegate last June to the Students Volunteer Convention at Kings Mountain, N. C. Mr. C. H. Green, as secretary and parliamentarian of the Maynard Literary Society, and president of the Livingstone M issionary Society, won the prize in the annual debate of the Maynard Literary Society.

What seems somewhat singular about the class, is, each member is a busy pastor; but notwithstanding pastoral duties, has found time to do the work of the department. Mr. A. W. Womack is the pastor of Lane C. M. E. Church, W ashington, D.C., where he is giving satisfactory service in the community, and thru him his church is a factor for the uplift of mankind, both morally and spiritually. Mr. Wm. F. French is pastor of a church in the suburbs, and also is a trusted governmental servant; yet he has been able, by his gentlemanly demeanor, to win the favor and good will of all. Mr. C. H. Green has a pastorate in Baltimore, Md., and is kept generally busy; yet he comes regularly to school, and has managed by his patience and courage to do the work of the class.

We stand for Sincerity, Efficiency, and Advancement— “Excelsior.”

ENGINEERING AS A PROFESSION AT HOWARD Since 1913 Howard University has maintained as one of its Departments the School of Applied Science, organized upon a scholastic basis of collegiate grade and co-operating with all the other departments of the university. The school now offers courses in architecture, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering; all of which are equivalent to similar courses in universities of the highest rank in the United States. The Department of Engineering, in its several branches, offers to those who enter it the widest fields of industry and enterprise known to the modern world. Its influence reaches far out in many directions, contributing to the welfare of the country. To young men of mathematical or mechanical turn of mind, engineering is a profession full of opportunities and possibilities. The rapid accumulatou of wealth by Negroes, and its investment in large business enterprises is destined to open up fields which will demand the services of the well-trained engineer for many kinds of construction and all the in­ cidentals of electrical and mechanical equipment of buildings for various purposes, hos­ pitals, schoolhouses, factories, hotels, theatres and private residences. The day for the Negro architect and engineer has arrived. The courses offered lead to the degrees of B. S. in architecture, B. S. in civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and home economics. ATHLETICS || I I 1 I I 1 SgniiiniigiiiiniiimTaiirriiirsiffr^ w m 'H iJ*'

FOOTBALL SQUAD

BASKET BALL SQUAD W. E. MORRISON, Coach

A Brief History of Athletics for Year 1920-21

When we consider the wonderful progress made during the past year at Howard University in the athletic world, it goes without saying that this write up will not and cannot do justice to the subject at hand. All are acquainted with the wonderful showing of the football squad; all are familiar with that bull dog tenacity of the basket ball squad; and as the season for baseball and track approaches we are assured of as much suc­ cess in the latter two as in the former. Nor can we go on without giving credit to Dr. W. E. Morrison who has so successfully placed Howard Uni­ versity sport on the level with other universities in the country, white or colored. It must be stated here that all Howard needs is the chance to prove herself equal to any occasion.

FOOTBALL

The football team needs no introduction to the real supporters and loyal sons of Howard. On the first day of practice nearly one hundred men reported; but as the practice grew harder and the squad began dwindling, it was quite evident that only the strong could survive. The squad was thoroughly tutored in all the rudiments of the game and every play was gone over every day in class, until every man knew exactly what part he had to play. On account of such thorough training, the only ones that knew the real strength of the team at the time of the first game were the players. Team play was the main thing we were working for, and this had reached its zenith by Thanksgiving, the day of the Classic. On this day, Coach

O M orrison placed his strongest combination on the field, which combination he felt no team could beat. When the “Big Eleven” stepped upon the field the crowd went into pandemonium. After being presented with a floral design by the Presi­ dent, the team went forth to battle. When the roar of the crowd ceased and the sun set in the west, it was evident that Howard had successfully vanquished Lincoln— 42 to 0. L i n e - u p Howard Lincoln W illia m s ...... L .E ......

BASKET BALL The men showed the same interest in basket ball as in football; more men coming out this year than any year before. In spite of the fact that we had no adequate gymnasium for practice, the same fighting spirit was exhibited in basket ball, as in football. This spirit was evident in the Hampton game, when the Howard team, seemingly hopelessly beaten in the first half, came back like tigers and fought Hampton to a stand still, until they had added another scalp to their collection. On account of Howard’s playing only college teams, when the season had ended, Howard had won three-fourths of the games played. Thus ended a successful season.

BASEBALL Our attention now is being taken up in baseball. The prospects of the team are quite bright. Out of the large number of men that reported, the coach is having considerable trouble in finding the places where the respec­ tive men belong. When the squad was cut, the coach retained all the pitchers and catchers with the hope of development, and it seems that he has been suc­ cessful in this by the report of the last games. Although the games were divided, that is no reflection upon the pitchers at all. Howard is still going to have a good baseball team and their slogan is, “ Beat them all.” TRACK W ithout a doubt, one of the greatest achievements of the year in the field of athletics was manifested by the brilliant showing of the relay team at the Pennsylvania Relay Games. Regardless of the condition of our track and the bad weather, the team composed of H. K. Perry, R. Craft, Raymond Contee and Leo Robinson was rounded into shape by Coach Morrison. From start to finish, enthusiasm ran high; at any time a blanket would have covered the nine men that ran in each relay. Howard’s anchor man, Leo Robinson, came in first— leading the field by 1 yard. As­ sociated competitors were Rochester College, Hamlin, Hobart, Tufts, Rens­ selaer Tech, Buffalo College and Bowdoin College. The Annual Inter-collegiate Track Meet was held May 14, on Howard’s campus. Howard again succeeded in capturing first place with 84 points; Lincoln was second with 40 points.

GIRLS IN ATHLETICS The attitude of the girls this year towards athletics seems to indicate that in the near future, we will find those who will be recognized as “star” performers among the girls. During the basket ball season, it was seen that with more coaching, the girls’ team for next year will be second to n o n e . In our first game, which was between the Miner Hall and the City University Girls, though won by the city team, there was some very good individual playing on the part of both teams. The Freshman-Sophomore game, a rather hard contested one, went to the Freshmen players. The players of both teams displayed signs of developing “star” performers. The game which aroused very great interest among the players was the one between the Varsity team and the Athenian Girls of Baltimore. This game which was won by the Baltimore girls by score of 21 to 16, furnished all the necessary thrills. The clean sportsmanship displayed in this game was most remarkable. Now, since the basket ball season has passed, we are eagerly looking forward to the tennis tournament. It is the consensus of opinion that the girls will make a remarkable showing in this branch of athletics.

The Department of Dramatic Art is today not only the center of interest at the university but it is the center of interest for the entire Dramatic world. The merging of the famous old College Dramatic Club into the Department of Dramatics, has given forth the rapidly rising Howard Players. The Department of Dramatic Art of Howard University is formed after Harvard’s Department of Dramatics. It has, according to the N e w Y o r k Times, gone a step further however, in that it gives a full academic credit for its work. The practical work of acting and character portrayal, the technical work of the stage, the making of costumes, and the managing of productions come under the course in Dramatic Art. It has its own business offices, costume rooms, and scenic work shop. The work of the department is done through the co-operative efforts of students and directors. Sometimes however, the training of casts is given to advanced students. Mr. Aaron H. Payne and Mr. Harlan A. Carter trained the cast of “ Simon the Cyrenian,” and “The Tents of the Arabs,” respectively. The officers of the Players, including the manager, who stages all productions, are elected from the Players. This season marks the completion of their first series of productions. These productions were Dusaney’s “The Tents of the Arabs,” Ridgley Torrence’s “ Simon the Cyrenian,” Eugene O’Neill’s “ Emperor Jones,” and Percy McKaye’s “Canterbury Pilgrims.” This is the most cultural and dramatic program ever presented by any Negro organization. The Depart­ ment of Dramatics expects to stimulate and develop a national effort and work among Negroes in the art of the drama.

The Kappa Sigma Debating Club has completed successfully the most elaborate debating program since its organization. The Freshman- Sophomore debate was won by the Freshmen. The cup for Oratory was won by a member of the Freshman debating team.

A new triangle has been formed among the three leading Negro colleges of the country: the triangle being composed of Lincoln, Howard, and Union. There was also the return debate with Atlanta University, held on April 29. The subject for the triangular debate w as: “Resolved: That the Anti-Alien Bill of California Should be Repealed.” The subject for the debate with Atlanta w as: “Resolved: That the Monroe Doctrine Should be Repealed.”

The Howard University College Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was re-organized February 25, 1921, and claims the distinction of being the first college branch of the association.

Howard University moulds a little more than two-thirds of all the Class A colored college students in America. These students are to wield a potent influence in the leadership of the race for the next generation. The college is therefore the logical place to cradle the leaders of the N. A. A. C. P. movement.

The purpose of the Howard University College Branch is to co-operate in the furtherance of the aims of the National Association: (a) to open the door for equal educational opportunity for colored youth; (b) to permit the effective use of that education by abolishing disfranchisement, jim crow cars and segregation; (c) to oppose and prevent lynching by co-operation of the best white and colored sentiment and by publishing the truth and punishing the lynchers through both state and federal courts.

Among the speakers who have been brought before the branch are: Mr. James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Association; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Director of Publicity and Research; and Mr. Robert Bagnall, Director of Branches.

O STUDENTS' COUNCIL - ~ m t - -- . HOWARD UNIVERSITY The Student Council

HOWARD’S FIRST STUDENT COUNCIL

Howard University in its recent reconstruction, has taken several im­ portant steps toward bringing the student body into closer relationship with the administration. Paramount among the different organizations formed for that purpose stands the Student Council, or the voice and servant of the student body. The Student Council claims to trace its origin to a petition of complaints, presented by the sudent body, that was taken to the Joint Committee, which is composed of representatives from the faculty and student body. Its authorization dates from the trustee meeting in the spring of 1920. At the beginning of the scholastic year the Student Council, composed of representatives from all departments of the university, began its work of systematizing and adjusting affairs between the student body and the administration. At the outset it was found that the work was tedious and would require much time and perseverance to complete the immense task that was before the infant organization. The first tangible achievement of the Student Council was to regulate social activities on the campus. This has proved a success, for all conflicts have been avoided and only an adequate number of entertainments given. Thus from time to time the Council has successfully dispensed with nu­ merous grievances of the student body. Its most successful accomplish­ ment of the year was abrogation of the “Eight Cut Law.” The Student Council is the highest court of justice among the stu­ dents. Its recommendations are sent to the Academic Council and are final in the m ajority of the cases. All matters pertaining to student life if unsettled in the lower courts, are sent to the Council whose decision when sanctioned by the Academic Council is both final and binding. The President of the University speaks in glowing terms of the work of this body in Howard’s new form of co-operative government. OFFICERS G e o . W . B r o w n ...... President Ottie Graham ......

Young Men's Christian Association

About a month before the opening of the present school year, cards of greeting were sent to several hundred young men who were expected to enter the university. These men were met at the railroad station during the opening days by a committee of Y. M. C. A. workers. They were escorted to the campus. Their baggage was checked free of charge in the room of the Y. M. C. A., and all needed information was given them. The men were then escorted to their rooms in Clark Hall or to assigned rooms in the city. Between fifteen and twenty men were kept busy day and night in this work for the first week of the opening days of school.

Following the days of registration, a welcome reception was given to the students at which time addresses of welcome were made by members of the faculty, Dean E. L. Parks, representing the administration, and Dr. W. V. Tunnell, representing the faculty. Mr. C. H. Tobias and Mr. C. W. Craber of the International Committee were present and greeted the men on behalf of the students’ department of the International Association.

The preliminary work of the association having closed with the welcome reception, a membership campaign was launched. During the first two months of the campaign about two hundred dollars of the budget were raised, representing a membership of about one hundred and fifty men including many faculty members. The association was greatly en­ couraged by the unusually large subscriptions of the faculty members, which ranged from two to ten dollars. Religious meetings are conducted each Sunday morning and the meetings are well attended.

Through the joint effort of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., a Sunday School Teachers’ Normal Training Class was organized— the first of its kind in the history of the university. The enrollment in this class was about fifty members. Many of the members are working for the completion of the course.

The Mission Study Group, which is conducted by Mr. T. H. Lloyd, a former president of the association and a missionary to Africa, has re­ sulted in the organization of a volunteer band of young men who have pledged themselves to a life of service on that continent.

a o The employment bureau of the Y. M. C. A., of which Mr. C. L. Longmire is chairman, is instrumental in helping the men to secure work in the city. Through this office more than a hundred men received employment during the year. This department has begun its work of securing work at the summer resorts, for the com ing season.

The association, through its president, organized a Bible Class in one of the nearby churches. The class is composed of Howard men for the greater part, but is open to all. Mr. W alter Goens, who is president of the class, is also assistant teacher. Among the branches of the community service are: work with the boys, headed by Mr. L. K. McMillan; regular visits to the hospitals and distribution of fruits, of which Mr. J. W. Craw­ ford is chairman; committee for co-operation with the Associated Chari­ ties of the District, the chairman of which is Mr. S. H. Williams of the Theological School.

Besides the activities specified, the association has been a potent fac­ tor for the advancement of Christian Culture in the university life, and it is the aim of the present leaders to see to it that Howard University shall rank first not only in academic and professional life, but in Active Christian Leadership.

O The Forum

The Forum, the young women’s debating society of Howard Univer­ sity, was organized February, 1920 by the young women of the university, under the supervision of Professor Gregory and Dean Helen Tuck. It is the only organization in the university which is devoted to the intellectual development of the women alone and in which the women are allowed entire control.

The Forum, although it is devoted primarily to debating, also aims to instill in its members an appreciation for good literature and the impor­ tance of keeping up on all current events. Throughout the year, book re­ views and current topic reviews are given by different members. The or­ ganization also aims to bring before the young women of the university the leading women of the country and consequently conducts a series of lectures at least once a year. During the recent presidential campaign a very interesting series of lectures were given by representatives from the Women’s National Party. As a result of these lectures, every member of the Forum is thoroughly acquainted with the methods of voting.

W ith the ever increasing interest of the young women of the university in such an organization as the Forum, it is hoped that in the very near future the Forum will be looked upon as one of the most powerful organiza­ tions in the university.

The officers are as follow s:

H a r r ie t M . R o b i n s o n ...... President Lillian S. B row n ...... Vice-President E u n ic e M a t t h e w s ...... Secretary Maggie Samuels ...... Treasurer Grace C isco ...... Critic P r o f e s s o r G r e g o r y ...... Oratorial Critic

Young Women’s Christian Association

The Y. W. C. A. is an old and cherished Christian organization of Howard University. It is composed of young women from each class who work in co-operation with the faculty members. Despite the fact that the Y. W. C. A. is not recognized as it should be, it has aided immensely in promoting the spirit of service and in fostering a more fervent religious spirit in the life of its members and those with whom they come in contact. Y. W . C. A. work was resumed the first quarter and officers elected for the ensuing year as follow s: M r s . G r a c e C i s c o ...... President Anna Cooper ...... Vice-President Helen E. B row n ...... Secretary Ruth B utler ...... Corresponding Secretary Julia Alston ...... Treasurer The other cabinet members are: Eunice Matthews, Chairlady of Social Committee; Wilhemina Butler, Social Service Committee; Artisha Wilker- son, Religious Committee; Othella Harris, Bible Class Committee; George Green, Associated News. The girls of the Y. W. C. A. have had a pleasant time this year with their spicy programs and social events. The regular meetings are held every Sunday evening in the assembly room of Miner Hall. The programs consist of music, readings, and open discussions. At one meeting, the girls were entertained with an interesting talk on Y. W. C. A. work by Miss Helen Tuck, Dean of Women. The Y. W. C. A. has been rather alert to the giving of socials this year. Our first stupendous event was the “Welcome” extended to the new girls, given on the lawn of Dean and Mrs. Pratt. Ice cream and cake were served freely. The next social was in the form of an “Advertisement Party” which proved to be one of the best entertainments given during the y e a r . During the Thanksgiving season the Social Service Committee gra­ ciously attempted to bring cheer to the unfortunate, by distributing many baskets of fruit among the poor. This service was performed through the untiring efforts of Miss Wilhemina Butler. The Y. W. C. A. cabinet was the recipient of a very delightful dinner given by the Advisory Board, which is composed of faculty members. The dinner was served in the cafeteria of the Phyllis Wheatley Home. All spent a very enjoyable evening and departed feeling intensely the interest and kindness which had been shown. We now come to the end of the year, and when we recall what a glorious and successful one it has been, it gives those of us who will return to carry on the noble work next year, an added inspiration, and a will to accomplish even greater things.

a O THE GLEE CLUB The Men's Glee Club

The key note of the Glee Club’s spirit for the past season was struck at the initial tryouts in October, when fifty men put in their appearance. All these men were very good candidates and it was the regret of the direc­ tors that they were not authorized to choose two clubs instead of one. The club wasted no time, but started in on a severe period of training for the commencement of the season with a zest that argued well for the manage­ ment’s cherished hopes. On March 30, the Club started on one of the most enjoyable trips taken within the memory of the veterans. This trip included Petersburg, Richmond, Hampton, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, Va. The Club has nothing but good to say of the wonderful spirit displayed by audiences in these p la c e s . A large and appreciative audience heard the home concert and it was largely due to their co-operation that the concert was so enjoyable. In conclusion, the club wishes to form ally express its appreciation for the patience and loyalty of Professor Roy W. Tibbs, director of the Glee C lu b . Officers for the year of 1920-21: John E.

The Stylus is a unique and interesting literary club, form ed November 7, 1915 under the guidance of professors Gregory and Locke. The club has steadily grown both in numbers and in accomplishments.

Its aim is the encouragement of original literary and art expression among the students of the university with the telic purpose of stimulating and producing authors and artists within the race. Within its unique folds, able and willing persons are given the opportunity of co-operation and development. Membership in the organization is gained through the medium of semi-annual competitions. The persons producing the best manuscripts during these competitions are duly elected to membership in th e c lu b .

One of the endeavors of the organization is the publication of a literary magazine edited by its members. May 18, 1921 marks the publication of the 1921 issue of the Stylus, containing manuscripts by student and honorary members.

o The French Club

PROFESSOR METZ T. P. I.OCHARD MARGARET C. SMITH

The French Club of Howard University is an organization for the purpose of encouraging and facilitating the use and development of French among the students of the university. In its meetings, held from time to time, musical numbers, poems, and open discussions are conducted in French. Because of his superior knowledge of the language, his personal interest and supervision in the department of Romance Languages, Pro­ fessor Lochard has made the French department play an active and im­ portant part in the life of the university. The one big social event of the season, which is looked forward to with eagerness on the part of many, was held March 11, 1921. Officers for the scholastic year: Prof. Metz T. P. Lochard ......

Realizing the value and necessity of an organization which would cultivate in the minds of those students who are interested in the study of the German language, a literary taste, and at the same time further their acquaintance with the language, Professor Edward P. Davis assembled all the students of the German department on October 10, 1920 in chapel for the express purpose of re-organizing the German Club. He explained very clearly the workings of the old club and its many successful and helpful events. He also showed what a great advantage the club would be to the students of the German department and those who had studied German previously; in fact, such an organization would promote conversational German to a great extent, the lack of which was a handicap to most German students. Professor Davis closed his remarks by suggesting that tem­ porary officers be appointed until a constitution for the organization could be drawn up. The temporary officers appointed were Mr. L. S. Butler, President; Miss Sadye M. Spence, Secretary. One week later, the students of the German department again as­ sembled after chapel exercises by request of Mr. Butler for the purpose of electing permanent officers of the organization. The following officers were elected for the first quarter of 1920-’21: Mr. L. S. Butler, ’22, Presi­ dent; Mr. Phillip Brooks, ’22, Vice-president; Miss Sadye Spence, ’22, Secretary; Mr. Fleming A. Jones, ’22, Treasurer; Mr. J. C. Young, ’22, Sergeant-at-Arms. As the school year began to draw to a close, all minds were focussed on some event that would be considered the crowning effort of success for the German Club. Premature thoughts along this line soon became mature. The word on the lips of every loyal member was unmistakably “Prom.” A Prom was decreed and the decree must be carried out. The effect of such a club has been far reaching. Students of German who at first were reluctant to express themselves in German, due to their timidity, gradually became “Germanized,” so to speak. Now it seems to be the fervent desire of each member of the club to vie with others in speaking the language of “Der Vaterland.” It has often been said that the future is judged by the past and the present. Glorious then will be the future of the German Club. The Ger­ man Club boasts with pride of being one of the two clubs at Howard devoted exclusively to language. Its ideals as set forth make it a fact which will be brought to bear upon the mind of each one forcibly in the future, namely that the German Club affords to the student of German, that touch of thoroughness and efficiency which he acquires in conjunction with the study of the German language.

The Caribbean Club

The Caribbean Club was organized in the fall of 1918 by a small group of enthusiastic foreign students, who realizing the mutual benefits to be derived from such an organization, decided to look after the interest of foreign students at Howard University.

The meetings were held at first at the home of B. G. Pollard, LL.B., who was then a student, and the first president of the Club. In 1914, President J. T. Davis, M. D., at present an interne in the Freedmen’s Hospital, obtained permission to hold the club meetings in Carnegie Library Hall. The other presidents who continued this work were: Z. A. Looby, Rev. F. J. Bailey, and T. Tucker, M.D.

The club aims to help foreign students adjust themselves to the life of the university. It aims through its bi-monthly meetings, to help them socially, morally, and intellectually.

The club is about to establish three fifty-dollar scholarships, to be awarded to foreign students during the year 1921-22. It was during the presidency of Mr. Looby that the establishment of scholarships for foreign students was suggested.

The club cannot overestimate the services and helpful suggestions of Rev. Dr. D. E. Wiseman, one of the first Island graduates of Howard University. It was through his influence that the club obtained publicity in the university catalogue. The club has so progressed that it now hopes to establish a suite of rooms at the beginning of the autumn quarter of 1921.

The Kentucky Club, organized in 1916, began its career under the leadership of Wm. Stuart Nelson. Gradually it has forged its way until it has become the foremost organization of its kind in the university. It has made an enviable record for itself in athletics and other university activities. The undisputed superiority among state clubs that it enjoys is vested in the records of its members in debating, drama, football, basket ball, tennis, the track, and music. Aside from the individual achievements of its members, the club is elated with the fact that it has teams that win consistently in all of the athletic sports.

Another scholarship will be awarded to the students of Kentucky by the members of the club.

The club motto, “United we stand; Divided we fall” surely savors of the spirit of a greater Howard.

O The Northeastern Club

Colors: Maroon and Gold

The Northeastern Club of Howard University was organized in the fall of 1920 by a number of students from the New England States, New York, and New Jersey, who felt the need of an organization which would bring a closer union between the students from this section of the country. The club aims to promote a high standard in scholarly attainments and the development of men capable of leadership.

Alpha Phi Alpha

The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was organized in 1906 in Cornell University. It was the first inter-collegiate fraternity to be organized by and for Negro college men. The growth of this fraternity has been un­ usual, in that, from one chapter with about ten members it has grown into a nationally chartered organization with thirty-one chapters and a mem­ bership of more than sixteen hundred. The fraternity holds annual conventions during the Christmas holi­ days. In 1920, the annual convention was at the seat of Beta-Lambda, a graduate chapter in Kansas City, Mo. The next convention will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, at the seat of the Delta-Lambda Chapter. ROLL OF CHAPTERS: A lp h a ...... C o r n e ll U n iv e r s it y B e t a ......

The initiative and example of this chapter has largely paved the way for seven other fraternities, at the university. From a membership of eighteen, Beta has grown to a total of two hundred ten, which includes exalted honorary members. The chapter has a com fortable home adjoining the campus with a well equipped dining department. There are spacious ground and a tennis court.

ft o CL o Omega Psi Phi

On November 17, 1911, at Howard University, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was founded by three men, Messrs. Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper, and Frank Coleman, in company with Professor E. E. Just. These men having thoroughly gone over the situation, saw keenly the necessity of such an organization and decided to plant the first or “mother” chap­ ter of a Greek letter fraternity to be founded in a Negro institution. The principles upon which this Fraternity are based are set forth in the four words, Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift. The Fra­ ternity aims to emphasize Christian manhood and scholarly attainment. There cannot be too much emphasis placed upon manhood, for without this quality no organization can thrive and exert influence; with it, every or­ ganization has the germ to become a powerful influence. Scholarship, although second to manhood, is still fundamental, for with a good strong, manly character there is usually a tendency toward scholar­ ship ; that is to say, there is a concomitant relationship between manhood and scholarship. With these two qualities well developed there should be no fear of the other two, perseverance and uplift, for they will fall in as naturally as scholarship does to manhood. The fraternity has grown from one chapter in 1911, to twenty-two chapters in 1921. Realizing that the mass can only be reached through individuals and small groups, the Fraternity idea is to mould individuals into a thinking entity, so that the thought and actions of a man can be the more greatly influenced. The fraternity is attempting in its own way to mould in its members a fuller manhood; to develop in them a higher sense of racial conscious­ ness; to stimulate their desires for a higher scholarship attainment; to create in them a greater university spirit; and to make of them better citizens and stronger leaders.

NATIONAL FRATERNITY

In 1911, at the University of Indiana, a small group of students organized the Alpha chapter of what is now one of the foremost national Negro college fraternities, Kappa Alpha Psi. Its high ideals soon won it favor, and chapters were organized rapidly at the leading universities in the Middle W est. Its members entering the universities in the East, soon organized chapters at these universities, and Kappa Alpha Psi is now well known in the East.

Howard University was one of the latest Eastern universities to organize an undergraduate chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi. On December 17, 1920, a group of advanced students who were connected with Kappa Alpha Psi at other institutions initiated seventeen undergraduate students into the fraternity. Vice-Grand Polemarch W. C. Reid of the Epsilon Chapter at Lincoln University, conducted the ceremonies, and later officially or­ ganized Xi Chapter. This chapter placed upon its roster as officers the flolowing young men: J. Wycliffe Keller, Polemarch; Hilbert L. Rozier, Keeper-of-Records and Seals; Leo. S. Butler, Keeper-of-Exchequer; Lemuel D. Bolton, Corresponding Secretary; Charles Hall, Strategus; and Jona­ than L. Young, Lieutenant-Strategus.

To the annual meeting of Grand Chapter held at Temple University, Philadelphia, December 30-31, Xi Chapter sent its polemarch, Mr. Keller, who was honored by being elected to the Board of Directors and Grand Lieutenant Strategus. Dean Dudley W. Woodard of the School of Liberal Arts, honorary member of the fraternity, was also elected to the Board of Directors. Xi Chapter, though late in organizing will soon achieve the same things that its sister chapters have achieved at other universities.

Chi Delta Mu

In order to promote the welfare of Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical students of Howard Medical College, by bringing into close contact men whose aims were common and whose interests were mutual by keeping alive the highest ideals of professional ethics and unselfish devotion to these noble and lofty professions, Dr. E. Clayton Terry, Washington, D. C., and Dr. C. R. Humbert, of Kansas City, Mo., established in 1913, the Alpha Chapter of the Chi Delta Mu Fraternity.

Since that time the fraternity has been steadily growing in members and in prestige and is becoming more and more an integral factor for good to the Negro youth of the land wherever they are engaged in the practice of Medicine, Dentistry, or Pharmacy.

The Chi Delta Mu Fraternity enjoys the distinction of being the only Negro fraternity of its kind in the world today, in that it accepts for its members only those men who are in active pursuit of Medicine, Dentistry, or Pharmacy, or who have graduated in these professions.

One year after the chapter was organized, it secured the present fra­ ternity home, located at 301 T Street, N. W. The same it now owns. The present officers are as follows:

The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was founded at Howard University Janu­ ary 16, 1920. The founders were Misses Pearle Neal, Arizona Cleaver, Viola Tyler, Myrtle Tyler, and Fannie Pettie. These young ladies were ably assisted by the following members of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity: Messrs. A. L. Taylor, B. J. Ragsdale, C. R. Taylor, and J. Smith.

The aim of the founders was to create a sisterhood which would pro­ mote the highest ideals of womanhood and scholarship among college girls, and which would aid the university in every possible manner.

The growth of the organization has been very rapid. In one year it has increased from one chapter to five.
