HISTORICAL SKETCH OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY OWARD UNIVERSITY was conceived in a prayer meeting for mis­ sions in the First Congregational Church, of Washington, D. C, on » Monday, November 20, 1866. By an act of Congress passed March 2, 1867, it was incorporated and named after General Oliver Otis Howard, philanthropist and commissioner of the Freedmen's bureau. The institu­ tion was planned for the education of youth in the ministry originally, but almost from its inception it included nearly all the branches of higher edu­ cation. In its early history the institution was supported principally by the Freedmen's Bureau, but in 1873, this agency went out of existence. It was then maintained largely through private contributions and donations. The Federal Government in 1879 granted an annual subsidy amounting to $10,000. This subsidy has increased gradually. All Federal appropria­ tions for its support are made through the Department of the Interior, the University reporting annually to the Secretary of the Interior regarding the expenditures. Howard University is a privately controlled institution governed by a self-perpetuating board of trustees, twenty-four of whom are regularly elected and six are honorary members. The present membership is made up chiefly of leading educators, jurists, publicists, clergymen and other prominent citizens from widely scattered parts of the country. Howard University is the only institution of higher learning in the United States for the education of the Negro race which maintains a com­ plete university organization, including under-graduate, graduate and pro­ fessional schools. It is organized into the following divisions: College of Liberal Arts, College of Education, College of Applied Science, School of Medicine, including the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Colleges, School of Music, School of Religion, and the School of Law. The Liberal Arts College has been accredited by the Association of Colleges and Preparatory schools of the middle states and Maryland since 1921. The College of Medicine is a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges and is rated class A by the American Medical Association, this rating having been in effect since 1892. The School of Pharmacy has been recognized as standard by the Association of the American Colleges of Pharmacy, the date of recognition being 1927. The Dental College is a member of the American Association of Dental Schools. The School of Law will be admitted to the Association of American Law Schools in 1932, the year in which it will have met all requirements for admission. The College of Education has also been accredited upon class A basis. The administrative authority of the University is lodged in the presi­ dent under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. The institu­ tion is operated on an annual budget. To facilitate the securing of jobs for students, the University operates an employment bureau in charge of the Deans of men and women. There is an endowment scholarship fund amounting to $65,000 with an annual income of $3,257. The plant of Howard University consists of twenty-five acres of land and twenty-two buildings. All this land is used for campus purposes, and is situated within the city limits of Washington, D. C, and has an estimated

It gives me pleasure to write a word of farewell greeting and good wishes to the class of 1930. I feel a special nearness to the members of this class, because we were all freshmen together. During your stay at Howard the undergraduate life has steadily increased in self control and wholesomeness. I am certain that the members of this class have been creative contributors toward these ends. Wherever you go, my love will follow you. I have confidence that your lives will be fruitful and that you will bring new honor to Howard. .:..—o. A strong, sturdy oak is a beautiful handiwork of the Creator ana is delightful to look upon. Deep into the earth it sends roots and firmly fixes itself that it may better withstand the storms of the ele­ ments that seek to destroy it. To the beautiful sunlight it spreads its branches that birds of the air may find shelter, and under whose spreading boughs men may find rest and quiet from the noon-day heat and toil. Symbolic of the oak do we some­ time find an individual. Placed at the strategic point of holding the purse strings of a four million dollar concern, yet always the welfare of the stu­ dent predominates. It may truly be said that the Secretary-Treasurer of the Uni­ versity is a straightforward, sincere com­ moner—a man of, and for the people—for DR. EMMETT J. SCOTT every student of Howard represents the Secretary-Treasurer people.

When the Registrar's office was estab­ lished in 1919, little thought was given to the importance of the work of that office because it was a new phase of university life at Howard. The work of the Regis­ trar's Office from 1919 to 1927 was con­ fined to the admission and keeping of rec­ ords in the four undergraduate colleges. Beginning with the school year 1927-1928, by action of the Board of Trustees, the scope of this office was broadened so that it would handle the admission and the keeping of records of students in the five professional schools as well as the four undergraduate colleges. Information is available here concern­ ing students in all divisions of the univer­ sity; whereas, prior to 1927, it was neces­ sary for one on the outside to know in what school a student was registered be­ fore obtaining information concerning a student. The centralization of record keeping of the university in one office has F. D. WILKINSON greatly facilitated the work of this insti­ Registrar tution.

Dean Slowe says: "The Dean of Wom­ en should be the intellectual and spiritual leader of the women on her campus. Her work which touches every phase of the life* of the student body, is co-extensive with the interests of the students. She should be an authority on the education of women, and be conversant with modern education in general. Since most of her work is done with students outside the classroom, she is par­ ticularly interested in those activities which have to do with the wise use of lei­ sure time. The cultural life of the stu­ dents as represented by their interests when they are not working for credit is her chief concern. If a Dean of Women is able to create a desire in her students for wholesome re­ creational activities, for the best in litera­ LUCY D. SLOWE ture, art and music; if she can help her Dean of Women students see the beauty in a well ordered Who is winding up her eighth and useful life, she feels that she is one of year at Hotvard University. the most fortunate people in the world." or. The policy of the Dean of Men is to so direct the work of his office that it will i^^^^^^^m meet the gi'eatest needs of the University. It is his purpose to strive to create and maintain such a friendly atmosphere about the campus that no male student B^H will ever be allowed to feel that nobody cares or is interested in him. Students ^^^^^HL_ are encouraged to call to see the Dean of Men at any time with any problem with the assurance that they will be accorded a ^^H^H --s^ft ^^^^^^^1 friendly reception and the advice and guidance of one who is deeply interested ^-''H^l in their present and future welfare. ^^^MH The Dean of Men's office also assists those male students who cannot be accom­ C*2H odated in the dormitory to find suitable rooms in the city. Many students who must have some kind of employment to help earn a part of their expenses are as­ sisted in finding employment through the office of the Dean of Men. WLLIAimkM B. WEST This office extends to the Class of 1930 its sincerest congratulations and best Dean of Men wishes.

The College of Liberal Arts provides in­ struction and educational direction to six hundred students registared in it and also to approximately four hundred others reg­ istered in the Colleges of Education, Ap­ plied Science and Music. This instruction is given by a Faculty of eighty-six persons, all of whom are specially trained for their work. It aims through sound and thor­ ough instruction to give adequate training for culture and scholarship as well as for vocations and for later professional study. It is hoped that the student will become an active and interested participant in his own education, feeling a personal respon­ sibility for the fullest development of his latent powers, and that he will develop in­ dependence of thought under the inspira­ tional guidance of his instructors. And so his right living, courteous manners, cor­ rect sense of values, refined tastes and DR. EDWARD P. DAVIS power of growth will give evidence of a Dean of the College of Libercdcultivated , active and efficient mind. Arts

The College of Medicine is one of the most important units of the University, since in all the United States there are only two medical schools with practically an entire Negro enrollment. Situated as it is, in the center of research and investi­ gation of scientific problems, it affords singular opportunities to the Negro aspir­ ant to the profession; and with its highly trained staff, rigid requirements and clin­ ical advantages is able to graduate men of the highest technical ability. Freedmen's Hospital, one of the most completely equipped hospitals of its size in the country, affords clinical and operative advantages which can be secured at no other hospital in the country for this par­ ticular group. The new building, now complete, will aff'ord even greater laboratory facilities, and a far more pleasing atmosphere in ADAMS, M. D. lecture and class room. NuMA P. Dean of the College of Medicine M>«1 ^ I From its very beginning, Howard has maintained a department or school for the training of teachers. From 1870 to 1900 it was known as the Normal Department. During that period, there were graduated one hundred and eighty-nine persons. In 1900 the Teachers' College was established and continued until the year 1919 as the teacher-training division of the Univer­ sity. It was of collegiate grade. The School of Education existed from 1919 to 1925. This organization was one of the "senior schools" of the University, com- piising the last two years of collegiate work. The reorganization in 1925 in­ creased the extent of the teacher-training activities to cover the entire four years of college, and changed the name to the Col­ lege of Education. The response that the colleges and uni­ versities have made to this change of at­ titude is indicated by the development of DwiGHT 0. W. HOLMES schools and colleges of education and by the rapidly increasing enrollment of the Dean of the College of Education students doing professional work in edu­ cation.

With this, the closing of the sixty-sec­ ond annual session of the College of Pharmacy, it is fitting to mention the past achievements and future possibilities. Howard has always been in the tore- front in pharmaceutical education. Its curriculum is well balanced, fitting its stu­ dents for their life's work in tiie most ad­ vanced and approved manner; making them competent not only as prescription- ists, but also as skilled analysts and phar­ maceutical chemists. Howard graduates ai^e constantly being sought after throughout the country. With the recent admission of the How­ ard College of Pharmacy to membership in the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, the future outlook for How­ ard and its graduates throughout the field of pharmaceutic endeavor is practi­ cally unlimited, and its graduates may well be proud of the degree conferred upon them by this great institution of learn­ DR. CHARLES FUHRMAN ing. Dean, College of Piiarmacy The College of Applied Sci­ ence was established at Howard University in 1815. As the pio­ neer Negro college in the newer professions, it brings to young America opportunities for thor­ ough training in, and prepara­ tion for, fieldso f service unlim­ ited in scope and possibilities, yet paramount to the advance­ ment of modern civilization. Its graduates are artists, en­ gineers, dietitians in hospitals, managers of cafeterias, instruc­ tors in leading educational in­ stitutions, operatives in high­ way, building and subway con­ struction, public utilities, indus­ LOUIS K. DOWNING Dean of the College of Applied trial enterprises, and in many Science allied fields and businesses.

More and more interest is being shov/n in Physical Education and ath­ letics. The interest in Physical Ed­ ucation can be accounted lor because of the fact that students are now permitted to elect the kinds of rec­ reational activities in which they are interested for fulfillment of the Physical Education requirements. This means that students who are doing the things they enjoy doing are manifesting greater interest in such activities. The next great de­ velopments along this line v/ill be the addition of playing fields to accom­ modate the increasing interest in physical activities and the building ox more tennis courts to take care of the large numbers of students who are desirous of playing. All in all, CLARENCE I. DAVIS a very successful year has been had Department of Physical in Physical Education and in ath­ Education letics. The School of Religion offers to men and women opportunity to prepare for various kinds of Christian service. From the first it has emphasized train­ ing for the pastorate and, therefore, has stressed the importance of Bible Study, of the Preparation and Deliv­ ery of Sermons and of Parish Work. The Graduate School offers college graduates a standard training. The courses of study and the classes are entirely separate from those in the The­ ological College which gives high school graduates a four-year course of com­ bined theological and college studies. Nearly three hundred, mostly ministers, are enrolled in the Correspondence De­ partment. Extension institutes for the benefit of ministers and Christian workers are held annually at different centers. The Convocation provides our students and the local ministers the op­ DR. DAVIE B.

GEORGE WILLIAM COOK. General Alumni Secretary Dean Emeritus

The General Alumni Association of Howard University, recognizing the permanency of the Bison as a record of Alma Mater, wishes to affirm its allegiance to Howard and to be remembered among those who are to re­ main in the permanent archives of the University. There are four ele­ ments in the make-up of any educational institution—the Board of Trus­ tees, the Faculty, the Student Body and the Graduates, known as alumni, all of whom should function in the affairs of the institution. The Alumni Association of Howard University, being a constituent part, has a mission to perform and a character to preserve-for the school. It is fitting,there ­ fore, that the Bison, the annual senior pubiication of the University, should chronicle the existence of the Alumni, along with the notice of the other three elements. The kind mother has given her best and sends her children into the world with the happy conviction that tradition and training will enable them to make good. She has no desire that they go from her forever, but earnestly hopes that they will affectionately remember her; tell her of their accomplishments and of their disappointments; keep her posted as to their family life; visit her and above all, keep alive the spark of loyalty and enthusiasm for her and be ever mindful and appreciative of their ob­ ligation for her kind nurture HOWARD NOW AND FOREVER

JOHN W. BOWMAN

A classmate, a friend—a kind, gentle, indulgent companion. A man of extraordinary potentialities, and hence an uncommon loss to those who knew him. Anoble flame of life, destined to burn, not long, but brightly.

WALTER CHESTERFIELD COLES To Walter Chesterfield Coles we dedicate this page. Fellow student, friend, and "brother" to some of us. A man worthy of the world's esteem, delineated from his fellows by a depth of character unique in even this, a chosen group. A man of lofty ideals—brought to naught by the hand of death.

NUMA P. ADAMS, M. D.

Dr. Numa P. G. Adams was born in Delaplane, Fauquier County, Va. He spent his early childhood there. Up to the age of thirteen he attended the rural schools in the vicinity. At this time the family decided to move North and selected Steelton, Pennsylvania as the locus in which to settle. He attended public school in Steelton and graduated from the high school there in 1905. The choice of a college finally ended in Howard University being selected. At that time Howard did not realize that the quiet young man entering as a freshman was destined to become one of her most illus­ trious sons. Four years passed and in 1909, this same freshman was grad­ uated with an A. B. degree and the highest honors of the college—a Magna Cum Laude. From 1909 to 1911, Dr. Adams was full time assistant in the chemistry department at Howard University. Meanwhile he had obtained his Master of Arts degree from Columbia University. In 1913 he took his place as professor in the department of Chemistry of Howard University and successfully taught there until 1919. He then decided to study medi­ cine and went to Chicago, 111., where he entered the medical school of the University of Chicago. He graduated from that institution in 1923, rank­ ing high among the leaders of his class. He is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha honorary medical fraternity, a national organization whose members are endorsed on a basis of Scholarship. He is also a member of Kappa Pi Honorary Medical Society of Howard University. He is also a specialist in Cardiology. He was appointed Dean of the School of Medicine and of the College of Medicine of Howard University, July 1, 1929. Whereas being a graduate of Howard University, a loyal son of the same and a foremost product of the training fostered by her institutions we, the class of '30, dedicate this medical section to him. HISTORY OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS This is a history of our class. To enumerate and recall all the joys, sorrows and disappointments we have shared together would be a task too large to be undertaken. We shall endeavor to recall the most salient and outstanding entities, as a framework on which each individual may build a personal memoir of his or her four years of medicine. Can you remember the first gathering of the class of '30. The expec- ant thrill of your first day of medicine. The class all dressed up. The surreptitious eyeing of one another. The little knots of mutual friends. The solitary isolation of the less fortunate "strangers" from out of town. The "Chair" making a swift entrance, and with a dramatic wave of the hand, initiating a paralyzing silence in the whole auditorium. His Stentorian voice cuts deeply into your consciousness as he counsels you as to the loftiness of your chosen profession and the disposition you are to make of your knowledge, ultimately acquired. Do you remember all this? As time went on we became more informal and got to know each other. We remember Lovey in a big white sweater and knickers. Also Horace Scott, bare headed, hair long—cut a la sheik fashion, with a white sweater jacket on. Nellie, then too, was not so grown up she couldn't wear her cute little gingham dresses. The "Chair" began his long series of harangues in P-chem, topping | off each lecture with his customary query as to whether there were any questions, comments or suggestions. Here Moe Young came into the lime­ light as a perpetrator of puzzling interrogations. The "Chair" ended this sequence when he "cut down" on Dick Lane one morning and silenced for­ ever the question barrage from our more energetic minds. Luke's indictment of the veracity of the "Chair's" statement on pow­ dered diluted milk is school history, and is deserving of a chronicle more becoming its importance. Hence was pass with just a mention of it. We cannot forget the morning when Hightower, unluckily smelled sul­ phur, much to the "Chair's" disgust and everyone's amusement. Nor could one find a more vivid picture of righteous wrath than the one presented by the professor when he abruptly terminated the inconsiderate slurnbering of one of our class, with the memorable words of, "Wake up. Barber." As soon as the routine of things established itself, the class organized with the selection of Ted George, as President, Rembert Jones, Vice-presi­ dent, Miss Muldrow, as Secretary and Horace Scott as Treasurer. This regime served for two years and served well. Our class meetings were many and furious and only by dint of the threat of muscular violence could our sergeant-at-arms, Jim Spencer, keep order. We remember distinctly Dr. Luke's peremptory demand again and again for a report of the Treas- surer and Dr. Scott's bored reply of $2.57 and two car tokens. "Pop" West took us in hand and brought terror to our hearts with his quizzing on bones, joints, and muscles. The tales about the Hottentots and their pendulous mammae we will never foi-get. We eagerly went to the dissecting room to try out our new dissecting sets. Some of the fellows got a little sick at first,bu t we soon got used to the odor with a little aid from iour pipes and cigarettes. Dr. Young would quizz and get so excited at some of our dumb answers that at times we fear he dispaired of our ever getting !it. With a preliminary "now, gentlemen," he would go into a lengthy ex­ planation of just why it was important to get some certain point. I Dr Mitchell's novel procedure of not calling the roll, yet remembering j the absentees, mystified us just as it had preceding classes. I We went to Dr. Bartsch's class where we were duly numbered and lost I our identity as individuals. The good doctor who lisped an awe-inspiring I welcome on our firstvisit , dwelling on our incumbent duties much in the i manner of the "Chair," later proceeded to inquire into our business, and I nose out the locus where we first saw light of day. Under his searching i interrogations. Pearl Strachn broke down and confessed Kingston, Jamai- I ca, as the place where she came into the world. Etched firmly in mind is I also the time Dick Lane was temporarily expelled from class for dropping f the slides. Nor can we forget the many hours spent and the doleful draw- ! ings made, while the professor (at times in his "boy scout" suit) lashed the j "dumb Dents" to increasing energy and harassed into embarrassment any i man with a semblance of perfume on him. At six on the dot each day we i would "lock step" out into the gathering darkness and thence home. 1 Mid-years came and went. Physiology took the place of P-chem and j we were introduced to Dr. Charles Fisher, who would quiz on everything ! but the lesson assigned. We rushed through physiology so fast that before ( we knew it the year was over. And weren't we glad ? I Back the next year with only one of our number missing. Anderson, Taylor and "little Scott" came to swell our numbei\ (In pharmacology, ! "Blondy" had all the boys "up a tree." Especially so were the Pharmacy j students. Remember the fellow who got so excited, he named "urine" as I an alkaloid of digitalis. And can we forget Harry Micky's graphic descrip- I tion of the stools obtained from a patient ingesting Epsom Salts?) I We plunged into Bacteriogy with "low Grade" lecturing and "Tite Ann I Porter" quizzing and taking attendance, with "Schizo" bringing up the rear. The new medical school with its new labs and desk and the pointed instruction as to how to treat the latter two. Aubrey, who passed out while giving some blood, 'member? In Parasitology, we met Dr. Bartsch again and got so tired of his bor­ ing lectures and multi-syllable words, which meant so little in the begin­ ning and not so much at the end. And we hated so the eight o'clock time we i had to make. And don't you recall the professor's disappointment at find- I ing us all sans Hook-worm—the Hook-worm eggs and where we looked for 1 them—the time we came at seven o'clock and most of the class was marked \ absent—our trips down to the Museum to listen to lectures on worms, lice, j and mosquitos. I During this second year we were inducted into the great order of the I Knights of Picadilly. Through a haze of memories, that imposing cere- I mony comes out in clear relief. Dr. Sayers haranguing in deep-toned elo- j quence, beseeching all non-believing ears on the solemnity of the occasion ! and Dr. "Cloudy-swelling" Cummings sibilant mouthings as he sputtered I a last admonition to hold inviolate the principles of the noble order and pre- I sented to Dr. George the symbol of the same. I Dr. Terry, professor of Physical diagnosis, met the class for the first i time. His wise counsel of raising the suspicion of a certain "condition" no matter whom the lady might think she was, has proved his sagacity more times than one. His warning to "keep your lamps trimmed and brightly burning" caused certain of our more lax companions undue worry and unheralded cleanliness. It was during this era "John" found that liver on the left side. Dissection in the new Dissecting room was far more pleasant because of better facilities and better ventilation. Dr. Young's enthusiasm and ex­ citement was increased tenfold and he would flitfro m table to table, point­ ing out this and that and throwing questions. It was during one of our meetings there that for the firstan d only time we saw Dr. Young lose his composure and scholarly dignity—at the instigation of no less a personage than our worthy president, Ted George. The final of the indoor track series, held in the corridor outside the D. R. was the subject of class con­ versation for a week and office investigation for a slightly shorter time. Smith and Young were the competitors and eliminated entrants, Robinson, Horace Scott and Phifer, the judges. As the finalists flashed down the cor­ ridor, one of the glass doors at the end got excited and jumped to meet Smith. It completely enfolded him and hung a halo of glass around his head. Mid-years came. Exams, of course, topped by a hectic one in Bacteri­ ology and followed by much cussin' on our part. Our mornings were now spent in Pathology with Dr. Lenox officiating and John "Twigs" Slade as demon assistant. Dr. Lenox complained continually and bitterly of the boredom exhibited in the lab, the constant meandering in and out of the same, the inability of the class to recognize the slides after such "perfect" drawings of them. One morning he discoursed at length on Dick Lane's indefatigable habit of "cutting," to such avail that Dick flabbergasted the class by putting in an appearance twice in succession. During this time the drive for the Medical School Endowment was on. The Class of '30 decided to try and raise a thousand dollars and have its name inscribed on the tablet to be placed in the foyer with the names of the contributors giving the above sum. Under the leadership of Billy Goines and Ted George, the Class of '30 went over with a bang. On one warm Saturday in March we went out to St. Elizabeth's and met Benny and "his gang." We were highly elated at first, but the nov­ elty soon wore off. From observation we were able to pick out many exaggerated instances of certain types to be found in our own class. In­ deed we began to doubt our own integrity on hearing some of them talk so lucidly and at times with more sense than exhibited by some of our fellows. The finals headed by the justly celebrated "top" exhausted our bodies, put our nerves on edge and left our brains in a whirl. Half a doctor—we hoped, while we went off to our individual summer occupa­ tions and activities. On our return to begin the junior year we were met with the sad news of the death of our recent classmate, Walter "Rip" Coles. "Rip" was a fine fellow and a good student and we all regretted his passing. "Half a league—half a league—half a league onward!" If not half a league—half a something. Oh! boy, just think, the journey half over and it seemed like we'd just started. We got ourselves together and plunged into the "great Practice of Medicine" under the guidance of Dr. Ecker in the class room and Drs. Simmons and Wilder in the Out-patient Clinic. Dr. Ecker in his excited but masterly fashion poured his knowledge of medicine into us, while Drs. Simmons and Wilder made desperate attempts to find out if it was still there. Oftimes they found it had never gotten in. We appreciated the clinic. It was a big relief from so much didactic work. We all feared the clinic quizzes, but we got a lot out of them. Dr. Simmons' biting sarcasm was a deft sword and drove home many a point. Dr. Wilder's explosive snort of disgust was so terrifying and humiliating that it was better to know than brave its potent expressiveness. One of these quizzes was the cause of the threatened abolition of a classmate—one Theodore Borders—by none other than that ordinarily pacific person—Ted Du- laney. Surgery and "Pop" Curtis came upon us and we realized all we had heard about him was true. His roll-calling was up to its previous stand­ ard and, like the modern dictum on Shakespeare, "he never repeated." Doctor Martin began his very orderly arranged lectures on Oto­ laryngology. What delighted us even more were his interpolated lec­ tures on the psychology of medicine. We think Dr. Martin ought to give a special course under that heading. We took to heart his advice about green, red, and pink medicines and "making 'em sign." Also after our association with him we considered guarded prognostications as very good form. Dr. Talbot in Orthopedics we considered one of the cleverest lecturers we had. His ability to be interesting and not become tedious was almost uncanny but depended upon his cleverness and ability to intersperse quick and joke in his lectures at the correct moments. His characterizations and imitations were very amusing, especially the "duck walk". Dr. Copeland met us now and then in Pediatrics. Mostly then. Dr. Cook took the speed prize for fast lecturing, giving as many notes in fif­ teen minutes as another profesor would in an hour. We still attended on Dr. Karpman at St. Elizabeth's only now we spent our time on the wards taking "nutty history". Obstetrics brought us Dr. .Jacobs, who showed us obstetrical ma- noeuvers with dummy model and a teddy bear. The bear looked very much wilted after each demonstration. Mid-years! Black dispatch! Eighteen men in the "go round"! No, Thirty two men. Medicine, of course. The "black dispatch" was right but there were only fourteen. Up on the carpet—every man jack. Shall we tell you about it. Well, they lined you up in the corridor outside the faculty room. Each waits his turn. Every man stays in a half hour and they call you in one at a time. Next—and up you go. You open the door and eight pairs of searching eyes focus on you and bore you thru. You attempt to bow or do something and in a dead silence you navigate the thousand miles between the door and the table—around which the medical faculty have grouped themselves. You sit down, still stiffly, and "the Navy" intonates in low-voiced clearness that your work has not been up to par, etc. A barrage of questions deluges you and your mind goes blank. Mid-years over and we came under the guidance of the "Chair" once more. Roentgenology. Dr. Hazen attempted to show us that every little bump has a meaning all its own, and some more than one. Easter and the year is gone. Vacation with much apprehension about the Practice marks which failed to come out before we left. Back and we're seniors. The last go round. In the last year the art of "carpet-bagging" took a mighty spurt and an epidemic started which I threatened to become wholesale. The class was divided into maedical and surgical sections. Dr. Curtis saw that the surgical sections kept hopping, while Drs. Terry and Bloe- dorn were no less energetic in their conduction of the medical section. Dr. Curtis instituted the Clinico-pathological Conference where your mis­ takes were exposed to the world and prodded until they cried for mercy.

Theodore Lovelace, president, Rem­ bert Jones, vice-president. Miss Muldrow, secretary-treasurer. This staff served with more than efficiency, especially our president, whose energies expended in our behalf were unbounded. And so our four years draw nigh to a close. With mingled joy, ex­ citement and a little sadness we view its approaching end. We stop and think. Will any other four years be so intimately intermingled with happiness, struggle and woe? Perhaps two of the three but hardly the three together. The highways of the world are calling us. We go forth to new contacts, new friends, new locales. But with us will go, a remem­ brance, always, of this, our four years spent together. WILLIAM EDW. ALLEN, JR. NORBORNE E. BACCHUS Pensacola, Fla. Richmond, Va. Chi Delta Mu Howard U. B. S. Howard U.

SENIOR DENTAL CLASS HISTORY The Dental Class of 1930 met for the first time on October 9, 1926, in the Dental Anatomy Class room, and organized with the following officers: L. A. Gaither, President. J. E. Carter, Vice President. E. M. Knight, Treasurer. A. G. Snyder, Secretary. At this time there were seventeen members in the class. In June 1927, Walter Caldwell of Phil­ adelphia died at his home. The officers for the sophomore year were : Spen­ cer, president; Carter, vice president; Snyder, secretary; and Betts, treasurer. Five members of the class dropped out for various reasons at the end of the freshmen year, and at the beginning of the sophomore year, three new members joined the class, namely; Hurtz, Callahan, Nevers; thus bringing the class roll up to fifteen.Durin g the month of November, the class had a group picture made on the front steps of the Dental Building. The officers of the class for the junior year were the same men who were unanimously voted to re­ main in office. During this year the class gave several parties. J. Brady Trippe of Meharry joined the class in October, 1928. The senior year of the class began in October, 1929, under the new administration headed by Dean Donowa. On March 3, 1930, the class was the guest of the faculty at the Charter Day Dinner in the Dining Hall on the hill, where an enjoyable time was had by all. The officers of the class now are: W. W. Betts, president; James E. Carter, vice president; H. R. Callahan, Treasurer; A. G. Snyder, Secretary. The membership of the class is seventeen, all of whom are struggling valiantly in the clinic hoping to secure that coveted letter which brings news of graduation.

In October 1927, there came to Howard University twenty-eight am­ bitious, hopeful and be it whispered, timid young students. Two were of the frailer sex so-called, but all were inspired with the vision of a common goal. They wanted to be lawyers. Their reception to say the least, was of the most genial nature, for the Law school can indeed boast a jovial soul in the personage of its then Secre­ tary, Professor James E. Waters Jr., and to him fell the immediate task of welcoming and acclimatizing this group of wide-eyed fledglings. After bridging that inevitable period of shy aloofness among themselves, a gay spirit of comradeship became abundantly evident. This of course had to be, for what group of persons suddenly finding themselves on the verge of a great adventure, or should I say, at the brink of a grave tragedy, avoid becoming sooner or later at least cordial to one another? The coming of this class whose sobriquet was soon to be "Law '30," marked the advent of the largest group of degreed men and women ever to register in the Law Department of Howard University. Among them were nine Bachelors of Arts and eight Bachelors of Science. Eighteen States of the Union were represented while two of the number were from foreign lands. Class organization was soon in order and after the usual bickering attendant on such occasions the class found itself with an equipped machine and ready for work. Its officers were, James Cobb, President; Ernest Hartgrove, Vice-President; Emerson Brown, Secretary and Treas­ urer. The year wound up nicely with but few casualties and none of the class listed among those missing. The class as a whole were at least on nodding acquaintance with Mr. Blackstone, Lord Coke, and Vice-Chancellor Mans­ field, dead but ever-living mentors of the law. Returning the following fall, less afraid, less uncertain and far more determined to equip themselves to meet the ever-growing demands of a race just blossoming out in the fieldo f commerce, the class got down to the earnest business of stalking legal principles and practising them. For now the doors of the Moot Court ably presided over by Professor W. L. Houston, Chief Justice, had majestically swung open. There, acting as junior counsel to the senior class, they were permitted to try in practice what they had learned and were learning in theory. Many and varied are the humorous episodes which resulted from crude errors occuring in the Moot Court. Most of them will never be forgotten. That year the officers were Richard Atkinson, President; Ernest Hart- grove, Vice-President; Emerson Browne, Secretary; Carl Cowan, Treasur­ er. The senior year came on. This was the year that was to decide wheth­ er theirs had been a great adventure or grave tragedy. Do you wonder then, that it was with no little trepidation that the last assault on the mysteries of the law was begun ? Arrayed as senior counsel at the bar of the Moot Court the errors of the year before were quickly smoothed away, and the class found itself guilty of a pardonable degree of pride. Just beyond the pale and about to cross over into Barrister-Land, they were only waiting for the legal Gabriel to appear with his trumpet. | The officers this year were the same except for the Vice-President who | was Theodore Bradford. | On Tuesday, March 18, 1930, it was the good fortune of the class to I witness a surprise demonstration in honor of the Dean of the Law School, j Honorable Fenton Booth, Chief Justice of the United States Court of j Claims. It was tendered him by the faculty and entire student body of the | school to commemorate the completion of his twenty-fifth year on the t bench. The class will long remember it as the one occasion when a surprise i party worked. The Dean was there that evening for the sole purpose of | conducting his class in Federal Procedure. Dean Booth, revered and loved ! by Howard University at large was completely taken aback and redoubtable I as judges must be, he was left after the demonstration quite defenseless. | The three years spent at the Law School of Howard University have | gone all too quickly. The class findsitsel f about to separate after having | it seems, just come together. One member, Mr. Staples, was lost by death. | His loss was perhaps the only note of sorrow which came to this more or I less happy group. He was genuinely mourned by all. Leaving Howard is like leaving a friend who has been tried and found | true. But at a time like this such a doleful and lugubrious observation I were best left unnoticed. So therefore, j There is little save joy to look back on. There's but one thing to do—Go Forward! When we meet in a time in some far distant clime. We'll remember with joy our dear Howard.

In the Autumn of 1926, the class of 1930 entered Howard University. The group numbered about three hundred. Like all previous classes this one was overflowing with enthusiasm, curiosity and ambition. The freshman year was filled with numerous activities such as, de­ bates, socials, inter-class athletics and proms. The president of the fresh­ man class, Robert A. Burrell, won the oratorical cup for the best speech at the Freshman-Sophomore debate. The Freshman girls won inter-class basketball and track meets. Alice Eighmie-Holley won the cup for high­ est scholarship achievements. The officers of the class were most energetic in carrying out a con­ structive program for the class. They were as follows: Robert A. Bur­ rell, President; Ethel Griffin, Vice-President; Estelle Chavous, Secretary; Kenneth Eldridge, Treasurer. Having been oriented into our new collegiate life, we entered our second year with the usual sophistication of sophomores. About less than half of our original number failed to return that fall, yet we were not dis­ couraged by the lack of numbers and we entered upon our work whole­ heartedly aiding our younger fellow-students. In spite of all of our con­ structive work we found a little time to give to frolic and tantalizing our so-called "peanies" as a means of introducing them into our University atmosphere. During this year A. Franklyn Fisher was the winner of the oratorical cup and also of the National Negro Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Contest. The officers of the class were re-elected due to their proven capability and interest in the class. Our Junior year was considered our most active year. Politics were beginning to take a great part in the workings of the class. A new presi­ dent was elected in the person of John C. Hull, from which office he was elected to the presidency of the Student Council for the Senior year. Ken­ neth Eldridge was elected vice-president; Estelle Chavous, secretary, and Nathaniel Byrd, treasurer. One of our outstanding colleagues was John Francis Price, who won the Kappa Mu honors and is now president of that honorary society. The Junior-Senior Prom was the outstanding event of the year. The class of 1930 surpassed previous classes to a great degree in entertaining the seniors of that year. The class put forth every effort to make the prom a success, and it was a much discussed event. Several other dances and parties took place. Finally, our senior year rolled around. Early in the year the senior girls won the loving cup at one of the most outstanding events for women, the Annual Women's dinner, for having the largest percentage of attend-

<.— ance. Activities and clubs of the underclasses were sucessfully developed and guided by the seniors. The one big project of the Senior Class was to bring about better co­ operation between the faculty and student body. This project was indeed I a successful one, for it not only brought about integration, but also under- i standing between them, which is necessary for accomplishment and better educational development in our university. Student reprasentation on I committees on religious activities of the university, assemblies and the r like, was advocated for the first time by the class of '30 and received fa- I vorable consideration from our faculty. By this representation and co- 1 operation a number of conditions on the campus have been bettered to a ^ great extent. I The class officers for our last year were as follows: Kenneth Eld- ! ridge. President; Parlett Moore, Vice-President; Estelle Chavous Secre- I tary; and Nathanial Byrd, Treasurer. j We must not forget that for once during our dignified college days I we disregarded all burdens and indulged in frolic and enjoyment on Fri- ! volity Day a day in which we returned to memories of our freshman days. I This celebration was followed by one of more dignity, namely. Cap and I Gown Day, which will remain in our memories along with all of our pleas­ ant collegiate experiences. SOME PROMINENT ALUMNI

o o FOOTBALL

Starting out the season with but a hand­ ful of vets and only two of them regulars from the year before. Coach Thomas Ver- dell, star end of the Northwestern Univer­ sity football team and our new coach, faced a Herculean task in molding a machine from the comparatively green material on hand. W^ith Marshall and Hawkins, the only regulars left from the 1928 team, and with Mack, Whiting, Ellis, Stokes and Ha- gans auginented by a handful of freshmen candidates, Verdell had to face Hampton, last season's C. I. A. A. Champs in the opening game. Eligibility had eliminated "Babe" Hayes, Joe Drew, and Silas Shel- ton, while the four year rule cut out our former stars, Jack Coles, Dan Brown, "^ *' ^<' ,>i\ "Hoss" Ross, Simpson, Sallie and Harry Payne, but these new men, pigskin gladia­ tors of a new era, young and gallant sons GREENLE—Tackle of the gridiron, met the famed Seasiders- by-the-Sea. The green and inexperienced Bison team led on by the presence of the veteran "Crow" Hawkins, battled the Hampton team on even terms until the last quarter when a screened forward pass well exe­ cuted for 36 yards netted Hampton the score that won the game 6-0. Lee and Jimmie Williams shone in this game. And next Saturday the Johnson C. Smith grid troupe won a 19-0 victory from our boys. "Red" Williams tossing passes fast and ac­ curately soon snowed our team under, with a trio of touchdowns and an extra kick point. In Atlanta the Morehouse Tgiers took our measure in another 19-0 game, but the team fought hard and the victory was well earned. West Virginia State was given a rare scare when Howard was lead- MACK—End • •>•.

o ing 6-2 in the last quarter at Charleston. The "Jackets" had scored a safety, but shortly afterward John Harris our hefty lineman intercepted a West Virginia pass on the 50 yard stripe and ran the other half of the field for a score. With but eight minutes to go, Edwards and Nash cor- alled three touchdowns to win the game in the real movie-thriller tempo 22-6. Harris and Marshall starred for the Bisons. One week later the Bluefield "Wonder Team" came to Washington to meet the Bison, and only the elusive Wiggins and the flashy "Baby" Ellis saved the day for the Blues, and gave them a 20-0 win. The Blues fought, but a taint of over- onfidence caused them to be almost ineffective against a green fighting machine. Wiggins thrilled with his 46 yard run, while Marshall's passing to Earl Harris so effectively proved an equally as interesting high-light of the game. Half time found the Blues on the smiling end of an 8-0 count, and Ray and Elhs added to the count in the second half. Wilberforce after a year's layoff came back to our schedule and brought a highly rep­ uted team, featuring "Baby" Lucas, but it was all the bigger boys could do to get a 13-0 victory, for there was not a score at half time. "Dad Tynes and company met plenty of oppo­ sition in Marshall, Earl Harris and Joe Martin, who tore off considerable yard­ age. In Nashville the Bisons met Fisk in a rather one-sided contest; they smeared us over a muddy field,bu t the Bison fightwa s there and the boys gave all they had against a seasoned and vet­ eran eleven, the Bulldogs stampeded the Bisons through the slime and mud for four periods to amass 31 points, the final count being 31-0. Just before the big classic the cocky Morgan Bears came over from Balti­ more and the Bison machine was run­ ning smoothly by this time so the Bears played to a 0-0 score. "Pinky" Clark did his best, but Howard had eleven men who did better and the sterling offensive drives of the Bears netted them noth­ ing, the Bisons holding them on even terms. Thanksgiving found the entire sport populace predicting a defeat by a four touchdown margin in favor of the Lions. MARSHALL—Half-back Lincoln had an impressive team and as well an impressive record. Bison meat had been a great feast all of the season, and the Lions were out to get their share of the carcass. Bison and Lion met in Philly at the Municipal Stadium on the cold Quakertown waterfront, 15- 000 fans shivered through four quarters while the two teams battled on even terms. Howard with a young, inexperi­ enced team was giving her all with backs to the wall, Lincoln with a brilli­ ant array of stars, strove vainly to cross the Bison goal. Sydnor, Lewis, all of the Jacksons, Harmon and Anderson took their chance at driving the pigskin over, but the Bison line stiffened five times at the crucial moment on the 5 yard line and the Lion failed to score. Vainly the Lions ran, passed, and bucked, but the Bison will-to-do kept them at a safe distance and one of the biggest upsets of the year resulted due to the sterling play of Marshall, Earl Harris, Adams and Martin, who followed a hefty on-rushing line of Lee, Harris, HARRIS—Tackle Greenlee, Hagans, Whiting and Mack. This proved a moral victory for the Bi­ sons and added lustre to what had ap­ peared to be a dull season. Our time- worn rivals, one of the leading teams in the country, was held to a scoreless tie by a supposedly weak Bison outfit, an outfit whose fightan d sprit arose on this memorable Turkey Day in Philly. At the close of the season, Glascoe D. Mack, of Baltimore, one of our veteran star wingmen was elected captain for the ensuing year which holds high promise of being one of our greatest.

Coach Johnnie Burr and his young team of well-coached floor artists won for Howard their first floorchampionship , that of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Asso­ ciation for the season 1929-1930. During the entire season Howard lost but seven games out of twenty-one, losing to some of the best teams in the country, and having a delightful 7-point win over the Morgan Bears, self-styled colored collegiate champs. Of the seven games lost only one of them was a conference game. Howard started off with a young but spirited and aggressive outfit who were out to make good. In the open­ ing contest Howard lost to Arnold College, a white school of New Haven, 28-29. The opening of the C. I. A. A. season saw the Bisons rise to the top of the heap rapidly, beating St. Paul, Union and Hampton, last year's champions early in the season. West Virginia gave us a close battle and nosed out a 32-33 victory with 30 seconds to go. Lincoln followed with a 20-21 game which they won with seconds to go and the Blues of Bluefield made it a one-point and a few-second epidemic by repeating the act in a 36-37 contest. Morgan took us for two games, one a 33-41 joust in Baltimore and a 33-48 tilt in a holiday classic in New York. Virginia State, reputed threats, St. Paul and Union were disposed of in rare fashion, and as a topping Johnnie Burr's Bisons beat the Morgan Bears at their own game, upsetting them in a 31-24 game on our floor Lincoln took the Bisons again 25-20 in East Orange, N. J., in a holiday classic that was not counted in the association ratings, an extra period featuring this game. With but a few games from the title, Howard's title hopes in danger, thrashed Virginia State and Hampton on consecutive evenings here, and then pushed off for Gotham, where they beat Lincoln 32-26 in a 2-extra-period game. Syphax winning this game, the crucial titular contest with but a few moments to go by his uncanny shooting. In two post-season contests Howard dropped one to Bluefield 34-30 and took a lively contest from West Virginia State 37-34, both in West Vir­ ginia. Coach Burr proudly eulogizes his team, calling them "the best spir­ ited and most gentlemanly group of boys I have ever coached and truly worthy of the championship." Captain Van Tile Harris, Dave Beasley, Sylvester Hall, George Taylor, Clarence Smith, Lois Williams, Burke Sy­ phax, Jerome Wood, Sylvannus Williamson, William Forsythe, Oliver Hill, Gordon Young and LeRoy Clay are the boys who fought for and won the C. I. A. A. championship for Howard in basketball in their second year in the association field. Hall with 45 field goals was the high scorer of the season, closely followed by Taylor with 43 and Lois Williams with 39. At the close of the season David Beasley, center and veteran player, was elected captain for the following' year, but no manager was selected to succeed Middleton Harris, this year's maanger.

The year 1929 saw the introduction of soccer at Howard as an inter­ collegiate sport. Soccer lovers answered the first call fifty-twostrong , and Coach Burr has elegant material for a first team. Soccer is in its infancy here, but from the manner in which the autumn schedule appealed to the fan populace, there is a great deal of dormant soccer spirit that will crop out when the soccerites begin their spring schedule. 'The fall season was extremely successful; the team lost not a single game and only one contest ended in a tie. Hampton provided the stiffest competition, while the Lincoln contest was the most interesting. Captain Nyabongo and Man­ ager Pyle were extremely invaluable in giving the necessary impetus to soccer here, and several matches are being dickered for with leading white colleges and independent teams. Hall, Hinds, Nyabongo, Roberts, Duha- ney, DeFraites, Brown and Gray form the nucleus of the initial venture of Howard into the realm of soccer.

i JUNIOR CLASS

The Class of '31 has been outstanding since it's begfnning in the fall of '27. With the winning that year of all of the annual Freshman-Sopho­ more events, including the rush, foot-ball game and the debate, the Juniors began their illustrious career which has been sustained since that time by the achievements of it's members in scholarship and extra-cur­ ricula activities. Among these are dramatics, varsity athletics and debat­ ing. The major project of the class for this year is the annual prom for the senior class. Under the leadership of Edv/ard Taylor, a most bril­ liant affair is indicated. This yeai-, too, the president of the Student Council and the Editor-in-Chief of the Bison for next year will be selected from the ranks of the class. As representatives to the Student Council, we have such outstanding students as Pauline Myers, Theodora Williams, Mercer Mance and Edward Taylor. In conclusion, the Juniors are ready to receive all the duties, rights and privileges of the present seniors and are determined to bring each project which falls to them automatically with the graduation of the present seniors to a successful completion. fen FRESH MA N CLA SS HISTOR Y

In the fall of 1929, we entered this institution of higher learning five hundred strong. Naive, perplexed, verdant, we were, yet more or less carried away with pride at the idea of being a part of this great community of Howard University. We assembled in Chapel, awed by the impressive dignity of the faculty; sobered by the quiet, restful atmosphere of the Chapel, and for the first time we were touched by the real Howard spirit. After a day or so of home-sickness, we were aroused from our stupor by the arrival of the upper classmen. The Sophomores pounced on us, and made us, as we thought, pay fiftycent s for "paenie" hats. The Freshman-Sophomore Rush was the firsthistorica l event. To all who saw it, the tug of war presented a beautiful scene. The paenies forced the reluctant Sophomores to a defeat. Our Freshman dinner, in the University Dining Hall created a home­ like atmosphere. Miss Joanna Houston, assistant Dean of Women, was responsible for this. Football games were of much interest to us, but the one that was of paramount interest was the Freshman-Sophomore game. The Sopho­ mores won the game, but so slight was their victory that they were not at all satisfied. The Kappa Sigma Debating Society presented the Freshman vs. the Sophomores, in the annual interclass debate, Friday, December the 13th— the date being unfavorable, we lost. Paul Chester, Richard Jones, Leon­ ard Terrel, represented the class ably. Leonard Terrel won the silver cup awarded to the best speaker. The Prom was the most significant event of the year. After two weeks of hard work on the part of the social committee and the president, Charles Ukkard, we finallysucceede d in getting enough money to have a successful prom. The Prom was held March 7, 1930, in the University Dining Hall. The artistic decorations of flowers and palms—the soft lights—the haunting rythm of the orchestra—the happy laughter of our fellow-students blended to make it an event that will live long in our memory. We have caught the spirit of Old Howard and shall return next Au­ tumn as her proud sons and daughters, eager to attain greater heights for her and for our class.

19 3O The business of editing the Bison of 1930 has been made easy by the full co­ operation of the variouse graduating classes, and in fact, of the entire univer­ sity family. In eveiy instance the as­ signed tasks were vigorously and speedily handled. It is an augury of the success of the class of 1930. Graduation is not a leave-taking. To me it is a promise of a happy meeting of trained minds in the world just outside the college walls. IVAN EARLE TAYLOR, Editor-in-chief.

The primary aim in editing and pub­ lishing a Year Book is to present in a con­ cise way the events of the four years in College. We hope that you will findhere ­ in some reason for pleasant reminiscence. This has been a rather foreign task to which we have tried conscientiously to give our best. We are especially indebted to those who have given their time and efforts in the publication of the Bison of 1930. NATHANIEL BYRD, Business Manager. THE BISON STAFF

Capott Assistant Business Manager Otho Branson Advertising Manager Penrose Goodall Assistant Advertising Manager The Bison of 1930 wills this publication to the Class of 1931 and to pos­ terity. To the Class of '31 it says: "By the time you have come to maturity and wisdom, many of us will have made history. Some will have more than one mouth to feed, some will have become mothers of the people, and some will have passed to their final reward, but what of it? To have spent four years at Howard University is to have lived more than a half of one's life, for life does not consist of a number of years, but of years, be they many or few, packed full of experiences, of friendships, of suc­ cesses and of failures, all precious, all valuable, all shaping the perfect man or woman." The staff is grateful indeed to the many units of the University com­ munity that have insured the success of the Bison of 1930. The alumni, faculty, student body and friends of the University have all been repre­ sented as sharing in the labor and sacrifices that are necessary for the production of a University Annual. In doing so they have built up an ideal for which every University Annual should strive, namely, to make it a record of a year's work not only of seniors, but of every unit that is nourished by Alma Mater. We hope that soon the Bison will get maximum support from all, and that it shall grow in size and in beauty, and become the consumation of the hopes of this staff, A Great Old Book. To associate with each other in what is indeed a big project for seniors, burdened as they are with studies and matters incidental to grad­ uation, has been of educative and administrative value to all members of the staff; it has afforded mutual pleasure and a source for pleasant rem- inisciences in the years that are to come. We have been associated in scholastic pursuits for four years; this has indeed been a happy epilogue to the great drama of college life. INTER-FRA TERNALISM A T HOWARD UNIVERSITY In most colleges and universities where Greek letter fraternities are established, the question of inter-fraternal relationship assumes serious proportions. This is true of the fraternities of all groups and is not a problem peculiar to Negro fraternities. Often rivalry and intense factionalism are engendered which breed conditions that are inimical to the orderly development of under-graduate life. The jousting for political preferment and social advantage, is so keen at times that there is no telling to what extremes, fraternities or unscrupulous members of fraternities will go to achieve these ends. That there be some unity of procedure in pledging men as possible material for fraternity membership; that there be some organization in inter-fraternal athletic competition; and that inter-fraternal scholarship be maintained on a high plane are the main purposes for which an Inter- fraternity Council was established at Howard University. Each of the four under-graduate fraternities sends as its delegate to the Council its president and two of its members. The Council operates under a regular constitution which was adopted by each of the member fraternities. Any matter which is extra-constitutional must come before each fraternity for adoption, so that the powers of the Inter-fraternity Council are such as are delegated to it from the fraternities. At the close of the first year of its work the council has established an orderly procedure in pledging of freshmen. No freshmen are to be pledged by any fraternity until marks are available for his second quarter's work; it has established an inter-fraternal basketball league which arranges a schedule of games and pro-rates all the financial returns from games among the participating fraternities. It recently published a report of the general scholastic average of the four fraternities over the official seal of the University. This report showed Omega Psi Phi first. Alpha Phi Alpha second. Kappa Alpha Psi third, and Phi Beta Sigma fourth; all four averages differed within one percent. The Council purposes to widen the scope of its activities gradually; while it does not intend that the social programmes of the fraternities be curtailed, it intends that they establish liberal and cultural programmes. It feels that in this way fraternities can best justify their existence. It has met with marked success in these efforts. The first of an inter-fraternity debate was held recently between Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi fraternities; within each group monthly open forums are held. These forums have been well attended and a revival of interest in the finer things of life is everywhere in evidence in fraternalism. Plays and projects which call for time, talent and consecrated efforts are being given by and under the direction of fraternity men; and those in authority are coming to realize that fraternities can do much to further anything that goes into the upbuilding of the university, and as a consequence they are taking a liberal and tolerant attitude towards these groups. In fact such has always been the situation at Howard University; the attitude has simply become more appreciative. The highest aim of fraternities is not that they become merely social registers, but that they be torch bearers into wider fieldso f nobler endeavor. The administration of the council has evidently maintained this as its ideal throughout the past year. Fraternity men at Howard University are grateful for this. As the months pass our fraternities at Howard University develop greater confidence in the Council, those who had at first been critical or doubtful of its ability to handle the problems entrusted to it are now grateful for its establishment; and while it is no panacea for all the ills arising out of inter-fraternal relationship, thoughtful men see in it great possibilities for making a fraternity what it should be; "A little leaven that leaveneth the lump." I THE HILLTOP The policy of the Hilltop, student publication of Howard University, under its present administration is to keep pace with the orderly growth of the University. It believes in voicing freely its opinions, in applying itself manfully to student problems, in giving voice to the most liberal and constructive student opinions. The publication wishes not to earn the title of radical or conserva­ tive. Extremes are always futile, for whereas conservatism leads to stag- nation, radicalism leads to destruction; the best policy is that of a search- ! ing examination of the facts in hand, and sane and sober reflection, then j to come to a decision. . 1 The administration and members of the faculty have shown a quite I liberal attitude towards the publication; whenever there has appeared ! within its columns anything critical in tone, and that has been often, they \ have manifested a most liberal attitude, and have been willing to give I audience, to offer advice, and in some instances even to accept and put I into practice the suggestions coming from the publication. There is, how- i ever, much to be done before the highest aim of a college publication can ! be realized. I Those of us who are about to become alumni may render great serv- j ice to the student body and in fact to the University, by keeping in touch I with it through its student publication. From its columns we may learn I how student thought is developing; we may keep in tune with the vital I streams that are making Howard University. I How to do this? Pay a subscription to the Hilltop, and thus assure those who follow after, that we are all members of the great University family.

The Kappa Sigma Debating Society, of Howard University, began the school year with renewed energy and vigor, with the hope of making debating at Howard a worth-while project. The Society was able to ar­ range six debates; two with Oberlin College, two with Wilberforce Uni­ versity and one each with Fisk and Morehouse. This undoubtedly has established our relations in the South and in the West. Our next move is to establish debating relations with some of the eastern Universities. With such men as Arthur Bowles, Lionel Swan, Mercer Mane3 and Charles Manney representing the university, Howard made a remarkable showing.

The officers of Kappa Sigma are:

Robert A. Burrell President Paul Sinclair Vice President Edward W. Taylor Secretary-Treasurer The faculty advisors are: Professor Emil Holley and Professor Em­ met Dorsey.

MISSOURI CLUB

On March 8, 1930, a group of students, who are residents and high school graduates from the state of Missouri, met to form a state club that would actuate the Howard spirit and a brotherly feeling among the stu­ dents in attendance at Howard University from Missouri. It was decided to call the organization the "Missouri Club," and this club is to present, at the end of each scholastic year, a trophy to the stu­ dent from Missouri, who has maintained the highest scholastic average for the past scholastic year. In addition to this, the Club intends to give some sort of social function each year, that shall include all the students and faculty of the university and shall instill in them the cordial spirit of we mid-westerners. This Club is to be a permanent organization of the University, with a yearly election of officers. Today the club is but an infant; we who have helped to organize it hope that it shall grow to be as strong in material, activities, and organi­ zation as the proverbal oak tree. Thus we face the future full of hope, and ambition, with a determin­ ation to forever push forward and lift as we rise. President Edgar F. Woodson Vice President Henry Von Avery Secretary Hattie Gillam Treasurer Thelma Arnold ••?

Officers Jack Young President Irene Robinson Vice President Artenia Gibson Secretary On the second Monday in October of 1928, a group, composed of the Physical Education Staff' and students of the Department of Physical Education met to form a club which would actuate a professional attitude among these students. This club is the "Physical Education Forum." Along with guidance from Mrs. Allen, Miss Warfield, Mr. Davis, Mr. Burr, and Mr. Pendleton, it was generally felt that encouragement from others out in the fieldmigh t help stimulate the desired attitude. Thus we had a most interesting talk from Miss Clayton Williams of the Armstrong High School on "Physical Education for Girls and Women in the Second­ ary Schools" Mr. E. B. Henderson of the Dunbar High School also gave an inspiring talk. His subject was "Organization and Administration." In view of the progress already made under the sponsorship of Mr. Burr, much is expected of the "Physical Education Forum" in the future. ARTENIA GIBSON, Secretary. THE FRENCH CL UB

The Student Council of Howard University is composed of thirteen members, elected annually from and by the Student Body. STUDENT COUNCIL

The president of the council is elected in the Spring quarter and as­ sumes office in the Autumn quarter of the same year. Four of the thir­ teen members represent the Senior Class, four the Junior Class, and two members each represent the Freshman and Sophomore Classes. It was the purpose of the present administration to recreate an in­ terest in extra-curricula activities; to secure some measure of recognition in the arbitration of matters pertaining to student discipline; to formu­ late and submit a new constitution to the student body for ratification; and to stimulate such athletics as varsity track and baseball. Without a doubt there has been considerable progress in extra-curri­ cula activities. The Council as administrator of the student extra-curri­ cula fees, have given aid to student organization whose programmes were hampered because of a lack of funds. The administration, as a result of its efforts has witnessed great progress in varsity dabating, in dramatics, in student publications. Various organizations purposing to give voice to the special talents of various groups of students have come into existence and have received acknowledgement and support from the Council. Note­ worthy among these are the Economics and Press Clubs. The president of the Council has called a (luarterly meeting of the leaders of all these student movements with an aim to stimulate the or­ ganizations to greater endeavors. These efforts have met with signal i success. I Because the annual convention of the National Studant Federation I of America was held in far-away California, the Student Council was un­ able to send representatives as it had done in former years. However, it I sent its felicitations to the convention, and received in return minutes of j the N. S. F. A.; as a consequence it benefited by the delibarations of the i body. It aided directly and indirectly the send of delegates to the Y. M. ! I and Y. W. C. A. conferences held at Buck Hills Falls, iPa., and at Smith | j College, Northampton, Mass., respectively. | I By public address and conferences with the Facuity Committee on j I Discipline, the council has attempted to secure recognition in matters par- i I taining to student discipline, in those efforts it has not been without sue- j I cess; althought official recognition has not yet been given, all indications ! I point to a speedy realization of these aims. 1 I The new constitution has been perfected and will be submitted to j I the student body for ratification at the student council election in May. j Varsity track has again come into its own at Howard University, and | ! there is every indication of a very successful season. There is little hopas | i for a revival of varsity baseball this year, yet in its efforts at revival the j 1 council is not altogether discouraged. | I The Student Council feels that it has won the respect and the whole- f [ hearted support of the student body; nor is the belief without foundation, | I there is an increasing number of students who bring their problems to | I it for solution and settlement, expressing confidence that from that body 1 they will receive intelligent adjudication.

Alpha Kappa Alpha, the firstchartere d Greek letter sorority among Negro students, was organized January 16, 1908 at Howard University. In all of the leading universities and colleges of the country, chapters of this organization now exist. Alpha chapter enjoys the distinction of ob­ taining the firstsororit y house granted by the University. Ivy Day, in­ augurated by Alpha Chapter, has been adopted as a university custom; and we are able to record that Rankin Memorial Chapel and the Carnegie Library received their cover of ivy from a sprig planted on Ivy Day.

The sorority is proud to have among its number the following hon­ orary members:

It is interesting to note that Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, the youngest Greek letter organization for Negro college women, was conceived and developed in January, 1920, at Howard University, the leading Negro College in the world. To the Alpha Chapter have been added more than twenty chapters in other outstanding schools or among graduates who are work­ ing together in various communities. The sorority attempts at all times .'to champion the best principles and to assist in any undertaking of worth. This year, three important events have made Alpha Chapter an ac­ tive unit on the campus. Mr. Walter Daniel, Instructor of Education, was the guest of the members in December at the home of Miss Esther Peyton. "College-Sorority—Anything" was his theme and the talk cov­ ered the beginning of college for men and women, the many reasons for modern students coming to college, the oi'iginal ideals of fraternities and sororities, and the conviction of life which each person must choose be­ fore he can begin on the road to success. He closed with his own convic­ tion of life borrowed from the lines of a noted poet. From February twenty-fourth to March first (inclusive) marked "Finer Womanhood" week, which the sorority annually celebrates. A public program at which Miss Lucy Slowe, iDean of Women, was the speaker, took place in Rankin Memorial Chapel. It included selections by Miss Esther iHall and the Girls' Glee Club, and greetings from Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. In addition to these the president of the local under-graduate chapter of Zeta Phi Beta gave a short history of the organization Goldie Guy-Martin, pianiste of Chicago, appeared in a recital at the Armstrong High School Auditorium during the week. Maude G. Smoth­ ers, lyric soprano of this city, assisted her. Professor Roy Tibbs, of Howard University, accompanied Miss Smothers. Those young ladies who wish to become Zeta members and have ex­ pressed that desire are "Archonians," pledge members. They are ambi­ tious to attain their goal and work ardently toward that end. Sadie Everett pilots the group as president; Mary Wade and Louise Stewart are secretary-treasurer and journalist respectively. ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRA TERNITY

Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity was established at How­ ard University, in Washington, D. C, soon after the founding of the fra­ ternity at Corneh University in 1907. The chapter is housed in a spacious and well appointed house at 1917 Third Street, Northwest, not far from the University campus. Under its present administration Alpha Phi Alpha is active in many exercises of extra curriculum activities. Besides supplying a large num­ ber of leaders in student aft'airs, it is active in dramatics, debating, and in the Forum. Its aim is always to uphold the highest standard set by the University whether they be cultural or purely academic. It does not neg­ lect the social aspect of university life. The fraternity draws its membership from all the colleges of the university, both graduate and undergraduate, as well as from those w^ho have already passed through the halls of learning.

The Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded by A. Langston Taylor, L. F. Morse and C. I. Brown, at Howard University, Washington, D. C, on January 9, 1914. The movement toward the establishment of a new Greek-letter fraternity, however, was started considerably earlier, in 1913, when the aforementioned gentlemen and nine others began a series of weekly meetings with the idea of founding a new fraternity. In De­ cember, 1913, a petition was sent to the Board of Deans asking for au­ thority to establish a general fraternity with a chapter in the University. Pending the reply to this petition the group formed themselves into a per­ manent organization, adopted a name, flower and colors, and proceeded to elect officers, the first president being Mr. Taylor, the first vice-presi­ dent, Mr. Brown and the first general secretary, Mr. Morse. About a week later a favorable reply was received from the Board of Deans, and the new fraternity was recognized, the Alpha Chapter being organized simultaneously with the general fraternity. This, in brief, is the history of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, an organ­ ization of college men built on the eternal foundations of Brotherhood, Service and Scholarship. From the time of its birth in 1914, this youngest of Negro Greek- letter fraternities has forged steadily to the fore, till at present it em­ braces more than twenty-six graduate and twenty-four undergraduate chapters. It has taken its place with the foremost of college fraternities, and is ever pressing forward with its motto: CULTURE FOR SERVICE- SERVICE FOR HUMANITY. KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY

The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was founded at tha University of Indiana on January 5, 1911. It had it's birth in a unique conception, which was the accomplished aim of the founders: to organize a Greek- letter fraternity, where in all the idaals of true brotherhood, scholarship, culture, patriotism, and honor may be realized and prevail. The Frater­ nity has been a National organization since its founding and there are now scattered in the leading Universities over the United States more than fifty active chapters. It has been the policy of the National Organi­ zation to place chapters only where the standing of the college permits, and where there is the sanction and the cooperation of the college authori­ ties. Such a wise policy has limited expansion, especially thoughtout the South where the above named favorable conditions do not prevail, but on the other hand has elevated the standards to full collega and university levels, thus guaranteeing quality of membership.

Harry K. Landers President 1 Cecie Jenkins Vice President Elinor Hairston Secretary William A. Morris, Jr Treasurer E. Alfred Lomax Journalist

Taking its name from two pioneers in the field of Education, this club is the extra-curricular organization of the students comprising the ! College of Education. | ! Realizing the great responsibility that awaits those who ara prepar- ' ing for the teaching profession, the sponsors of this club have provided an agency through which prospective teachers might come together and discuss collectively teaching problems and problems relative to the teach­ ing profession.

This club, has since its formation, enjoyed unusual popularity among I the student body, and the hearty cooperation of the teachers of the Collega | of Education. Since our educational practice must change with our | changing civilization, it is both fittingan d proper that those among us i upon whom the future of American education rests, should ba kept cog- j nizant of new movements and trends in this all important field of endeav- i or. It can be readily seen that such a club must necessarily be a live one, | radiating activity on all sides. Although, in its infancy, "Pestalozzi- 1 Froebel" has already taken its place as the foremost student organization \ on the "Hill." There is still much to be accomplished. Its continued sue- | cess is the common objective of each faculty and student member enrolled ! in the College of Education. I ! To "Pestalozzi-Froebel"—May its tribe increase, and its success ! never diminish." j I I
