SOLDIER among soldiers, ^ a statesman among states­ ••• men, a man among men, with a principle that has elevated him 11^1^*^^^^ H in the hearts of his comrades and B™v^'''^^^l friends. He has left an indelible A. •l,.'..'j^X,VHV l^HH imprint upon the annals of the TlP^i^l •jlpT^ 1 history of educational benefac­ ^^BM tors to our race. General Oliver Otis Howard •I^^^^Hfej^L^^^H was born in Leeds, Maine, on wm. \ November 8, 1830. Pie was grad­ uated from Bowdoin College in H^^RB T /A I^-^ < >" IttHsF^^^^^^^Ij^^^Kai^^ H JH 1850, and from the United States Military Academy in 1857. In 1861 he became assistant pro­ fessor of mathematics at AVest , Point. During the Civil War he re- cei\ed many honors among which were Colonel of the Third ^1Main e Volunteer Regiment and Brigadier General of A'olunteers. He lost his right arm in the Bat­ tle of Se\en Pines. For conspicuous braxery in this action, he received in 1893, a Congressional Medal of Honor. In March of 1865, he xvas brevetted Major General of the U.S.A. for gallant and meritorious service in the cam- ])aigun against Atlanta. After the war he served as the Commissioner of the l-)Ureau of Refugees, Freedmenn, and Abandone d Lands from 1865 to 1874. It was during this period that General Howard conceived the Herculean task of the intellectual redemption of the four million Negroes of America. He founded a Howard L'niversity that was a combination of the home, the church and the school. 4\)(lay Howard is a well equip])ed modern university in a city where there are nearly one hundred and fifty thousand colored peo­ ple, for whose ecjuipment and uplift it s])ecially stands. It is not only a city university, but a national university for twelve million peojile. It is the greatest educational center for the colored race in the AVestern AN'orld. The ideal of General Hoxxard is more than realized. Howard is the lab­ oratory out of which Negroes who are (jf great worth are turned, tofit into every aspect of life as American citizens. It is an international Service Cen­ ter, for graduates have gone to every State of the Union, to the Islands of the Sea, to Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. General Howard retired from active service in 1894 and died in Bur­ lington, ]\Iaine, October 26, 1909. The service wrought ])y General Howard is inestimable. The j^rophecy, "The good men do lives after them," is amply fulfilled.

The ofifice of the Secretary-Treasurer—handling all the financial trans­ actions of the University, and in many instances going afield to promote the welfare of the University in dixerse lines of outside publicitx- and community actix'ity—is contributing its part to the life and furtherance of the Uni\'er- sity's progress.

This office provides for the official ])ress releases of the school, collects all registration fees, arranges the finances iov all major athletic events, and oversees and arranges every program, of whatex'er nature, which is not di­ rectly planned and executed by the particular de])artment nearest the sphere of the activity.

The completion of the nexv stadium, the largest and most complete in any Negro school, and the nexv gymnasium, complete in every detail of struc­ ture and equipment, providing an indoor track and sxxdmming pool as special features of construction are monuments to the xvork of the Secretary-Treas­ urer's ofifice.

Manx- inquiries haxe been made concerning the character of the work done in a registrar's office. To the Registrar alone is it gix-en to know cer­ tain points of contact of his ofifice with the x arious actixities of the institu­ tion of xx'hicb it is a i)art and \arious transactions of this institution xxith the outside AX'orld.

To the applicant the registrar's office is the testing fire through which his credentials must pass in order that they may insure his admission to his heart's desire. To the student the office is the originator of the fearful ordeal through which he has to pass at each registration day. By the faculty, it is often looked u])on as the source of much annoyance because of its fre([ucnt and insistent demands for information concerning the records of students and the origin of much red tape so abhorrent to the academic mind. To the high school princii)al, it is a necessary evil in its insistence ni)on complete and accurate records covering the entire secondarx' career of the student, and at the same time, a heli)ful influence in supphing information concerning the progress of his graduates after entering college.

Like the elephant xxhich the blind man came to see, the activities of the registrar's ofifice are judged too often !)}• the indix'idual circumstances of the interested party.

The College of Arts and Sciences

The College of .Arts and Sciences in the fulfillment of it> ])ur])ose to provide a liberal education, touching in some of its phases all of the fields of human thought and knoxvledge jjrovides a Mecca of student desire for diversity in education.

While ])roviding this diversity of contact in the xarious realms oi thought, the concentration so vitally necessary in one particular field is pro­ vided for as xvell, in order that the particular bent of the student's mind may be cultivated and thereby be made more readx' for the ])ursuit of his chosen field of endeavor.

The functif)n of this college is one of the most important and funda­ mental ones of the entire University scheme. Helping students to find them­ selves, i)reparing them to be of greater service to mankind and to more ef­ ficiently provide for their mental, spiritual and economic lixes, is the purpose to which this college is dedicated.

The College of Medicine

The College of Medicine is one of the most important units of the Uni­ versity, since in all the United States there are oid}- two medical schools with practically an entire Negro enrollment. Situated as it is, in the center of research and investigation of scientific problems, it affords singular op­ portunities to the Negro asi)irant to the profession; and xvith its highly trained staff, rigid requirements and clinical adxantages is able to graduate men of the highest technical abilitx". Freedmen's Hospital, one of the most com]:)letel}' ec|ui]iped hosjjitals of its size in the country, affords clinical and operatixe adxantages xxhich can be secured at no other hospital in the country for this ])articular group. The new building, now com])lete, will aflDrd ex'en greater laboratory fa­ cilities, and a far more pleasing atmosphere in lecture and class room.

The College of Education

b'rom its xery beginning, Hoxx'ard has maintained a de]^artment or school for the training of teachers. From 1870 to 1900 it xvas known as the Normal Department. During that period, there xvere graduated one hundred and eighty-nine persons. In 1900 the Teachers' College was estab­ lished and continued until the x'ear 1919 as the teacher-training division of the University. It was of collegiate grade. The School of Education existed from 1919 to 1925. This t)rganization xvas one of the "senior schools" of the University, comprising the last txx-o years of collegiate work. The reorgan­ ization in 1925 increased the extent of the teacher-training activities to cover the entire four years of college, and changed the name to the College of Education. The response that the colleges and unixersities have made to this change of attitude is indicated bx' the development of schools and colleges of education and by the rapidly increasing enrollment of the students doing professional work in education.

The College of Applied Science

.Students of history knoxx' that in Furo])e during the fifteenth and six­ teenth centuries, civilization was remarkably enriched by the revixal of the fine arts. Architects, ])ainters and scul])tors xxere ann)ng the most indis- l)ensable servants of the glorx' of the age. A little later on. during the latter ])art of the eighteenth century, another great and significant age began its develo])ment. ddiis age is \x ell known as the age of the Industrial Revolu­ tion. Conceived in luigland, it s])read the xxorld over; turning the older and nex\-er theories of pure science to industrial and professional use. Cities grexv rapidly, like the enchanted musbrocnn; and more involved, like an uncharted trail in a forest maze. The factory sx'stem, xxith its intricate and indis])ensable machinery, was born to spread the industrial products of man's brain far and Axide. Those engineers of you xxdio have learned your jirofessional rudiments at Howard L^nix^ersity may nexer build such a bridge, but your problems xxill be just as important to your own communities and to yourselves as is the great Delaxxare Rixer l-Sridge to Philadelphia, to Camden and its en- xdrons. Those artists and architects of you will find that xour opportunities are innumeralde—this is an age of building.

The Department of Physical Education

The Dei)artnient of Physical Education finds itself better aide than ever before to correlate its program xvith that of the Department of Public Health. The new gymnasium and athletic field afford physical e(|uii)ment for this work. .Ml students of the University are ])rixileged to ])ursue the physical education course, which includes lectures in hygiene; practical edu­ cational, and recreational gymnastics, athletics, and swimming. All ot these activities are conducted under sanitary conditions, by an expert teaching personnel.

In addition to this, students are encouraged to folloxv a prescri])tion of xvork calculated to correct any i)hysical abnormalities, (iratifying results have been obtained in a large nundier of cases of flat feet, bad digestion. over-xveight and under-weight complaints. Improvement in academic schol- arshi]) is also revealed in a great many cases xvhere students have improved their physical conditions in the gxmnasium.

Under the i)resent cur­ riculum a lil)eral education is combined xxith the theological training; thus affording to those students \x ho otherwise might be unable to finance them­ selves thru the four years of liberal arts and theology, a most thorough training in the arts, xvhich is of course xitallx- necessarx" to the minister of this era. The facultx- of the college are all men of the greatest al)ilit\". Professor Stuart Nelson, one of the most accomplished ministers of the race and a philosopher of rare strength, as well as a sjjeaker of grace, dignity and elo' quence, bolsters this strong facultx-, and Hoxx'ard is singidarly proud of him since he is one r)f her sons.

The Dean of Women

The devcl()i)ment of the ideal woman is the moxing spirit behind the office of the Dean of Women. Supervising and directing the activities of the women of the Unix-ersity, inculcating the moral ideals of goodness, just­ ness and s])iritual integrity, the task of properly administering the duties xxhich dexolxe upon the dean of women is no small one. Adjusting the nexx' student to her new enxironment. heli)ing her to at­ tain new heights of scholarship through a desire to a])i)roach the ideal is at all times a joyous task to any true-hearted xx'oman. Insufficient dorndtorx' accommodations make it necessary to house some of the women students in the city. This office secures such acconnxlations in homes of the best txpe, sees that Unix'ersitx' regulations are obserx'ed by these students so housed and in general tries to promote their comfort and xx'elfare.

EMORY B. SMITH GEORGE W. COOK Director of Public Information Alumni Secretary

The Department of Public Information

By action of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees on September 21, 1928, a Department of Public Information xvas authorized. The duty of the Depart­ ment, acting- under the supervision of the President, is to collect, compile, and dis­ tribute official information regarding the i-egular work and special activities at Hoxvard University. The nexv department occupies Room 413 in the Main Building. The office is equip­ ped with suitable furniture and machines for the use of the Director and his assistant, Miss Ethel L. West. The department prepares a four-page news release which is sent, each week, to 150 Negro papers. The release contains both general and ath­ letic news. Similar releases are sent to Washington Sunday papers each week, and occasionally to the leading dailies in other cities. Reports of unusual events are also released to the Associated Press. One important feature of the department is a newspaper exchange, which pro­ vides clippings of Howard news as published in various sections of the country. The Department also has the advantage of the Romeike Clipping Service which provides a check-up of Howard news published in daily papers of different cities. The nature of the news sent out is constructive and relates to students, faculty, alumni, and ad­ ministrative officers of the University. In addition to news relaeses the Department publishes a monthly bulletin which is sent, free of charge, to parents of students, members of Congress, and friends of the University.

HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS

Chapter I AGE OF IGNORANCE In Septend)er 1925, xxith wildly beating hearts, we climbed the hill leading to Howard Universitx' and to the realization of our dreams. .\t last! Here xvas the end of the rainboxv! Wotdd xve find that famed pot of gold? \\^e asked ourselves this c|uestion, knowing xxhile xxe did so that time alone would tell us the ansxx-er. Green xxe were indeed; our pacnie caps ])roclaimed the fact that our ignorance xvas anx'thing but refreshing. It ])roved to be bliss, hoxxever, and xx'ho will deny it xxdien he calls to mind ourfirst meeting xxdth the faculty in the Dining Hall, our class meeting everx- week, those strolls around the Reservoir and the thrill of taking tea on .Sunday ex'enings xx'ith one's best boy or girl friend? Last, but not least, vx-ho can exer forget our xx'onderful Prom ? June rolled around all too soon and with it came the "part­ ing of the x\-ays" for the mend)ers of our class. Sorry to leaxe, but full of joyous antici])ation of wdiat xx-e xvould do to the group of neophites wlu) xx-ould join the family at Hoxv­ ard University next year, xxe left for our respective homes.

Chapter II AGE OF SOPHISTICATION We entered the second la]) of our journex', not a bigger, 'tis true, but at any rate a better class, than exer. (ione xxas that ])aenie cap and along with it that hangdog air, that naiveness and coyness of our paenie days. Many of us ex-en discarded the fashion of dressing in "collegiate" clothing, it xvas fine for l)aenies, but xve xx'cre too sophisticated noxv for such foolish­ ness. We s])ent our first xveek or so in making life generally miserable for the ])aenies. Our second week, xxe settled doxvn as befitted our nexv dignity, and at our second class meeting elected Miss Fottie Hargett and Mr. George McNeeley as rep- resentatix'es to the Student Council. In thefield o f debating we emerged xxith flx'ing colors. Our team of girls cf)mposed of Misses Clara DeShields, Lillian Redding and faccjue Wright, defeated the Freshman girls' team; and on the men's side, Messrs. Robert Dandridge, George McNeeley and Byron Hop­ kins defeated the Freshman boys' team. On the night of February 18. we cast aside dull care and tripped the light fantastic toe in the Dining Hall at our "Soph" Prom.

Page fifty-two ()ur second year, all told, xvas an effort to display our great importance not only to the paenies, but to the upjier classmen as well. This done to our satisfaction, we turned our attention to the Herculean task of i)reparing ourselxes for upper class- manship. Chapter HI AGE OF CONFIDENCE "Wdien I xxas a child, I spake as a child and acted as a child, but now that I haxe become an upper classman, I shall put away childish things." .Adopting this as our motto, we plunged into our Junior year in the fall of '27, full of confidence in our ability to ujihold the dignity of our position, and to reach our cherished goal—Seniority. Upon the resignation of Mr. (jlen- xvood Jones, who, as president of our class u]) to this time, had brought us successfully through two years of alternate tempest and calm, this sacred office was entrusted to the care of Mr. Stejihen Stanford, who has acfpiitted himself admirably. The Junior-Senior Prom, gixen in the "Cixin" on the night of April 20 in honor <.)f the Senior Class, xx'as a more spectacular and memorable event than has been xxitnessed at Hoxvard Uni­ versity for many years. This brought to a close the actixdties of our Junior year, and so xx'c passed on to— Chapter IV AGE OF AUTHORITY In the fall of our Senior year, wc moxed i)roudly as became those \xdio had passed trium])hantly through the trials and trib­ ulations of our Freshman, .Sopbomore, and junior }-ears. We were tolerant of, and even smiled sometimes at the ])aenies. just as if they xvere not so absolutelx" unim])ortant. Life had ])rett_x- xx-ell settled itself, as far as x\e xx'ere concerned. We decided nexer to marry, and xxere disgusted xx'ith the "idealized idiocy of love." We planned to be verx- "Blah," if xou know xxdiat I mean. The yearbook was our greatest activity and to many of us, it offered an excuse to sit through the long afternoons in the Bison ofifice, talking to those workers busily engaged in post­ ing dummies, or in doing any of a number of other things. Now that this is over, xve are face to face xvith graduation, the end, or is it really the end? Not for the Class of '29; fortified xvith the experience and knoxvledge gained during our four years stay at our dear Alma Mater, xx-e shall go out into the great world, and let our light so shine that all shall say of us that "There have been and there xvill be others to surpass us in virtue, but none shall ever ecpial us in glory."

MISS PAULINE LUCILE KENT Knoxxille, Tenn. Died, :\Iarch 3, 1929 DR. W. A. WARFIELD MISS C. K. MAY Surgeon-in-Chief Supt. of Nurses CLASS HISTORY

During the early ])art of September 192C), the present graduating class of Freedmen's School of Nursing entered these confines. From all parts of the country were chosen forty-txvo girls xvho expressed the desire to shoxx- their loxe for humanitx- by a life of service nin'sing.

The class entered xvith a s])irit of youthful vigor, and after three years of intensix-e training, depart retaining their vigor toned bv a n-iore com­ prehensive viexv of life. Departure brings to our minds many things. Our first regret is that xve are no longer forty-two in number, ten having drop- ])ed along the wax side for various reasons. The cottage course having claimed three, and it ap])ears that many more will folloxv shortly.

One, Miss P. Kent, never to be forgotten for her kind, gentle, demure ways, pierced the veil of the Great Beyond in March of this xear.

Secondlx-. the conclusion of training means the severing of friendly ties, firmly established thru three years of intimate contact. And last, there comes the feeling of uncertainty which accompanies the departure from the knoxvn into the nnknoxvn.

Page eighty-one To our supervisors and teachers, xve gix'e our greatest esteem and thanks for their endeavors to mold us into the sympathetic, cheerful-dispositioned, serxice-gi\-ing women we should be. .Also for their efforts to aid ns in the rapid adjustments n-iade necessary by enx-ironmental, staff, curriculum, and geographical changes. The hardships of ada])ting oneself on admission, the trials of ourfirst nigh t duty, the labors expended on subject matter, will all be forgotten in a comparatixely short space of time. All that xxill remain will be the glow (if ]Tleasant ex-ents, and escapades.

The class's first social exent was the giving of the Frosh Prom, Jan­ uary 21, soon to be followed by manx' other informal dances, ])arties, and late evening spreads in the Prom room. During the Junior year we had the pleasure to entertain the incoming class as well as the Seniors, at the Junior-Senior Prom gix-en at Murray's Casino. The class has alxvays ])la_x'ed a prominent part in the social life of the school, special interest being tak'cn in the annual Hallowe'en Party.

Wdien even these exents haxe ])assed from niemorx- into oblixion, xxho xvill fail to chuckle over some of our escapades? The day xve took pictures with our ca])s at the angle dictated, and at the angle desired, or the Decem­ ber night duty 1926 when the Misses ]\. \>. Young and S. Thomas started to the second Hoor of the hos])ital xxith the ])ig, or the climactic termination of the four A.M. xx-alks to the Old Soldiers' Home, xx-hen the Misses Robin­ son, Kent, Thomas, Wilson, Wanzer and Derham became lost in the grounds and had to n-iake Charlie Paddock look like a snail in order tj report on time.

A class history is necessarily a historx- ot indix iduals. bAen after names and faces have been forgotten, there will remain some characteristics and attributes. The story of the class \\-ould be impossible if the artistic delivery of Miss Kent's classical playing xvas ignored, to say nothing of the jileasant moments of relaxation afforded by the x'crsatile ])la\ing of Miss Macer, aided by the charming voice of Miss 1). Jobnson. Who can forget the Four Horsemen, Misses V,. Stexvart, F. M. \'oung, F. Miller, and A. Robinson. who added much s])ice to our meetings by standing immovable fighting to prove their conxictions, or, how often groups haxe been f|uieted bx- the masterful delixerance of Miss Harden, and the (juaint sarcasm of Miss M. Burrell, or the cjuiet humor of Miss Wanzer, to say nothing of the executive abilitx- of our ])resident ? One could go on mentioning innumerable others for their characteristics and deeds, but time will not ])ermit.

As the years go on and xve are far apart, may the memorx- of past as­ sociations give us a more hopeful aspect of the future. Having tried to record the activities and interests of the class as acctn-atelx- as ])ossible. this history is submitted to the Class of 1929. by x'om- hund)le serxant,

Page eighty-eight HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS

From the Junior Class come the leaders in the various extra-curriculum activities for the ensuing year, small wonder then, that the eyes of the student body are focussed on this particular class. From it comes the Major of Cadets, the Presi­ dent of the Student Council; the editor-in-chief of the Hill Top; the editor-in-chief of the Bison; and last but by no means least the president of the Senior Class. These selections are made from this class by well-established tradition. Great incentive to faithful and unselfish service for the class and for the Uni­ versity as a xvhole, is the result of these conditions.

The Junior Class gives annually a ])rom in honor of the Senior Class. This is usually the outstanding social affair of the s])rmg season at the University. The spirit behind this function is that the Seniors who have merited graduation be given some token of affection and esteen-i by next year's Seniors. This year's 'Pron-i' promises to outclass all of ])revious years.

An effort is being made by our class to foster dramatics. We purpose to have an op])ortunity night and to give a party during the spring quarter. We ho])e thus to give an opportun­ ity to any members xvbcj already possess dran-iatic ability to give expression to their talent.

The Junior Class of this year is functioning admirably under the able i)residency of John Hull.

. iin.r.ii1 1 ;fU GLENWOOD E. JONES PRESIDENT OF STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Freedom of thought and s])eech to-day has its effect in making possible greater freedom of action and re])resentation in all fields of endeavor. So It is with us as students of colleges and universities. Realizing that we are the future leaders, and that training is best received by solving our oxvn problems, xve have organized a student Council, an organization that serves as a link betxveen the student body, faculty, and administration. This Coun­ cil represents the student opinion, needs and demands.

So great has this student movement of self-government become that a national organization (The National Student Federation of America) has been founded. This organization, which is composed of the leading colleges and universities in the country, convenes once a year to crystallize student ideas and actions so that all student gr()U])s xvill xvork xvith the same objectives in viexv.

1 he natH)nal organization is a mend)er of an international orgaization xvith a similar objective. Id-iis relationship enables us to develo]! not only a national but an international s])irit of good will, and to develop respect for student ideas and actions. We realize that only through strong student organizations locally, nationally and unix-ersally can we achieve a recog­ nized Student Government.

Page ninety-eight STUDENT CDUNCIL

The Student Council of 192.S-1929 may be truly called the Students' Council. Its paramount aim has been to represent not indixidnal thought but that of the entire student body. To insure that end the Council during the entire academic year of 192

Perhaps to some, as they read this, the (incstion xvill come—lust xvhat is the basis on \\-hicb the Student Council of Hoxvard Unixersity is founded? The Council xvas sanctioned and ai)proved by the facultx- and trustees of

Page ninety-nine [H]gr 4^ ISON °/ 1Q 1 9 nH rni

the LTniversity because they believed that better and more significant re­ sults would folloxv in the matter of ])ers()nal conduct if such restrictions and recommendations as are necessary for the good of the student body should be sponsored by the student grouj) through xvise and intelligent stu­ dent leadership. The ])aramount aim of the council is not to fight solely for the interests of students xxben their rights are infringed upf)n ; it is not an organizatif>n to combat and declare unconstitutional regulations passed by the faculty; it is not a dance-giving organization. It is rather an organization to create conditions consistent xvith a theoretic standard, to remove conditions inimical to the interests of the University, and to be active in doing those things xvhich ])romote the welfare of the school. It is an organization articulating xvith the faculty and adininistratif)n, repre­ senting the thought and desires of an intelligent student body, designed to better acquaint one i)art of the l^nixersitx- with the other.

Along the trail that will blaze in across the i)ages of Howard University's history the Student Ccnincil of 192(S-1929 will leave several milestones of progress. Among these milestones xvill loom two major projects that this Council, under the capable leadershi]) of Glenwood Earl Jones, its president, will be remembered by posterity. Iloxvard's return to the C. I. A. A. after an absence of four years xvas greatly facilitated through the aid of the Council, xvho represented the opinions and xvishes of the student group in requesting Howard's return to the .Association. The other maior pro­ ject is the establishment of a university bookstore on the cam])us after com­ prehensive and exhaustive study and research, along with the compiling of data of o])eration of bookstores in other leading institutions of higher learn­ ing. This material xvas submitted by the Council and approved and adopted by the Trustees of the University.

These are but a fexv of the many problems solved. .\s the Council of 1928-1929 passes on there are yet many i)roblems which must be faced s(|uarely and solved by those xvho must carry on xvhere we have left ofl'. Therefore, ever mindful of the success of the present Council, let the Council of 1928-1929-1930 go forxvard xvith greater impetus and ins])iration to the solving of those problems yet remaining.

STEPHEN R. STANFORD To M}- Classmates : Little does one accept seriously the voice of experience. The doubtful congratulations of my colleagues at the time of my election to the presidency of the class in both Junior and Senior years meant little less than envy to me. I can fully appreciate xvhat their solicitations meant to them. Des])ite the occasional rough xxaters and a tein])orarx- leak, our xoyage on the shij) of "29" has seemed on the xvhole (piite short and very pleasant. The ex])erience gained on the cruise xvill be in no small measure a profit to all of us. A'our President feels indebted for an exciting and interesting adventure while at the helm. There have been friendships created that xvill last; re­ spect aroused that xvill endure, and a knoxvledge of human nature that the years xvill not destroy. The i)ast is behind us. May I be permitted to heartily thank all those xvho have made this short journey more pleasant by their helj), energy and toleration of shortcomings? The class leaders are to be commended for their courage and many others for their xvillingness to contribute their best which secured the social and financial success of the class. And now to the future—there are other seas to sail, other boats to man and other lands to travel. May we at all times hold this as our motto • "Expend thy all in ])ursuance of a worthy cause." My best to all of you—

Here in 1929 as one class closes a glorious cha])ter in the history of the LTniversitv, a blaz­ ing trail is made for those who follow behind. At the end of our trail we ])resent in this volume a ])artial glimpse at the life of the school. It is onlv a partial glimpse, and it is incomplete; for the graduating and other classes of four important colleges are not re]iresented.

Notxvithstanding this fact, the P)ison of '29 brings to you the Hoxvard message: "FORE\'ER PUSH UPWARD' .\N1) LI|--i~ AS ^'OU RISb:!"

FAREWE LL

By Ivan Earle Taylor

Farewell, my felloxx-men, the xvorld is xvide.

Go forth xxith pur])ose high, hearts full of song,

Protect the xveak, do battle xx-ith the strong.

Take places xvith earth's great men side by side;

Noxv we have reached the parting of the xvays

And each alone his se])arate ])ath must tread.

Then make the journcx- full of useful days

Before it ends, and life itself is s]:ied :

Farexvell, and parting, shed no futile tears.

Ties of great deeds shall bind, though xve be far apart.

And memories of these, our college years.

Will bind us to each other, heart to heart;

Oh carry to the length ;ind breadth of earth

Thoughts that are noble, deeds of highest worth!

FORCES OF INSPIRATION

By Chancellor \\'illian-is Out from the shadows xve have come to higher ground. We stand, as it were, on an eminence midxvay between two un­ certain eternities. From this height xve can survey the xx-orld. Looking thru the eyes of history w-e see a long train of immortal men and women, who valiantly fought the battles of the free. 7'heir names arc emblaztined x\-ith everlasting glory xvherever the songs of freedom inspire the u])xvard march of the human spirit. What mighty forces of inspiration are these !

Out ^'rom the other racial grou]) stood Howard, Wilber- force, Sumner, Stower, Lincoln, Garrison, Phillips, Seward and John Broxvn with a host of others xvho formed the vanguard of the army fighting for the advancement of all humankind. Their sacrifices and suffering for a people's xvelfare inspire the sons and daughters in the foremost university of the race to carry on to completion the work which others started for us.

The Class of '29 of Hoxvard LTniversity resolves to carry on. Upon the horizon, and in the stars xve can read the names of those from our own racial group xvho have entered Fame's Uni­ versal Hall. They form a long line of immortals Dessalines, Flannibal, Cristophe, Dumas, Taylor, Banneker, Douglass, Wash­ ington, L'Ouverture, Dunbar, Wheatly, Langston and others who broke thru the barriers and found ])laces in the Sun. Some rose in death they give us a theme for an elegy. Some were victors in life .--.they give us a theme for an ode. The achievement of all of them is a source of inspiration to every college community. They give us the theme for the Bison of Inspiration.

Page one hundred twelve The Inspiration of Negro Art

P)}- Alain Locke Art is an index to culture. That contemporary Negro life is producing more art, and better art, is an indication not only of our growth in formal culture, but a demonstration of the possession of those spiritual and intellectual capacities xxhich command highest and most ])erinanei-it human recognition.

Negro Art of to-day stands for self-exjiression, self-inter­ pretation and self-ins])iration. It ])romises to rescue the Negro mind from two great s])iritual ex-ils,—of haxing to see itself solelx' through exes of others and of haxing to draxx- its culture entirel}- from alien and foreign sources.

Fexv of us only can be creative artists, but xxe can all co­ operate in the artistic expression of Xegro life as intelligent art consumers and generous art supporters. A\'ith intelligent back­ ing, the artists of this generation can do more to inspire the people and xindicate them before the xxorltl than any other class or group among us.

Page one hundred fhirtcoi The Inspiration of Negro Poetry

P)y Countee Cidlen Poetry, for Negroes as for ex-ery other race, is the spir­ itual manna by xxhich the hungry, disillusioned flesh is made to ho])e again at the moment when it is most xveak and spirit­ less. It is the nexer-drying fountain at xvhich man has drunk since the beginning of time; the last man will still be drinking there. It is the crystal globe in the mystic depths of which can be seen the xvorld as it might be, and as it is not, but as we ho])e some day it may be. 1 can think of no group anywhere so much in need of this vision as the young Negroes of America. That life a])art xxhich the\- are ftjrced to lead, that life which makes them of their world and yet not of it, would make a potential poet of each of them. Some have called all ]ioetry a lie, but I ];)refer a beautiful lie to truth xxben the latter is harsh, ugly, and unjust. \'our ])oets are men and women, weak vessels of a sea­ son's duration, but the poetry of a i)eople, of any peojde, is a fine and cherishable thing. It has been said of a certain people, "They had no ])oets; so they died." But the poem is greater than the ])oet. Let it be said of us, "They make a poem of life ; therefore they live."

Page two hundred fourteen The Inspiration of Negro History

B}- Carter G. Woodson

If a race has no historx-, if it has no xx-orth-xvhile traclition. it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the xx-orld, and it stands in danger of being exterminated. The Negro has a history xxhich xxould be jiublisbed and popularized. Not to know xvhat one's race has done in former times is to continue ahvays a child. The Negro knoxxs ])racticall_x- nothing of his glorious past, and his "friends" are not ])ermitting him t

Page one hundred fifteen The Things that Inspire Colored Womanhood

By Mary McLeod P.ethune

In the u])x\ar(l struggle of mx' ])eople, the ])art xxhich is be­ ing ])la_x-ed bx- colored xx-omen is becoming increasingly import­ ant. Our xvomen are receiving inspiration to give of them- selxes, unstintinglx-. in the affairs of the race and nation, from three facts:

First—We haxe a keen realization of the possibilities of Negro ])eo])le, resulting from the phenomenal ])rogress w-hich thex- haxe made during the brief s])an (jf free opportunities.

Second—The knoxxledge of the iinxard force of our xxomen as an incentive for accoin])lisbment—silentlx' helping, influenc­ ing for good exery ])hase of jfublic or ])rixate life—the knowl­ edge that our present civilization is closely entwined xvith fem­ inine ideals.

Third—The .\egro woman's sxxift rise from comparative inertia to enthusiastic actixitx- in phases of endeaxor ])rex-iously closed to her, and her increased efficiencx' in all lines, indicate the need for greater consecration, increased actixity, fuller preparation.

Colored x\-onianhood should l)e ins])ired xvith the knoxxl- edge that w-e are actually NEEDED, at this strategic period in our history, in the scheme of things x\-hich represents Life.

Omega Psi Phi xvas the first Negro Greek letter fraternity to be founded in a Negro instituticm. This took ])lace over seventeen years ago when Pro­ fessor Frank Coleman, Pr(jfessor of Physics at Hoxvard LTniversity, and E. E. Love, of Baltimore, in company xvith Dr. b~rnest E. fust, also of Hoxvard^ founded at Howard LTniversity the Al])ha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi. It purported to be a brotherhood of young men of high ideals and of outstand­ ing abilitx-. It xvas founded on four cardinal principles, "Manhood, Scholar­ ship. U])lift and Perseverance."

From the nucleus founded at Hoxvard, Omega's influence spread until noxv it embraces eighty chapters. The entire grf)U]) is held together by a firm super-organization—the (irand Cha])ter. Omega has one i^roject to which we annually dex-ote a xveek known as Negro Achievement AVeek. There is one hero whom all loxal Omega men esteem. He tyjiifies for us the consumation of our ideals.

It was the aim of the founders to organize a (ireek letter fraternity wherein all the ideals ot true brotherhood, scholarship, culture, ])atriotisin and honor have been real­ ized and ])rex-ail.

The fraternity has been a natiimal organization since its founding. To­ day there are scattered from coast to coast at the leading universities and in the princijjal cities overfifty-five chapters . The membership of the fraternity has been one of (|ualitx- rather than f|uantit_x-.

Each xear the fraternit}- through its man}- chapters, carries out its nation­ al moxement, the "Guide Right Moxement." It seeks to guide youth to a successful realization of the highest aims in life.

The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal, the official organ of the fraternitx', is the only monthlx- i)ublication of a Negro college fraternity in the x\-orld.

Ni Cb^M^ter is at bloxx-ard Unixersity. It was fcmnded on December 17, 1920, by seventeen prominent Hoxvard University students. Since its found­ ing, Ni cha])ter has contributed from its membership men xvho haxe been actixe in exerx' line of student actixitx' in the LTnixersity.

The Psvcholog}- Club xxas founded during the autumn cpiarter of 192() bv a group of students xvho xxere interested in extending their knoxvledge of ])sychology beyond that obtained in the class room. They later hoped that through this organization they xxould be able not onl}- to improx-e them­ selves, but interest others in jisycbolog}- and enable those students xvho xvere not qualified to take courses in the subject to become ac(|uainted w-ith phvchology so that it might be of some service to them in making their mental and social adjustments. To-dax- the Psychology Club has realized much of xxhat it aimed to do. There are oxer txvo hundred students in the Department of Psycholog}- and more xx-ould enter if the}- could be accomodated, as is shown liy the large nuinl)er refused admission each quarter. The speakers at the bi­ monthly meetings of the club nsnall}- make addresses xxhich are of great \-alue both for the stimulation of interest in i)sychology and the indixidual's adjustment to society in general and college life in ]iarticular. Although the Psychcdogy Club is a permanent organization, yet each x-ear there is a re-organization xvith the election of nexv officers. This year the club is being xxell directed under the leadership of H. C. Joscelyn and others.

THE R. O. T. C. UNIT

The Reserxe Officers' Training Corps is one of the great benefits de­ rived as an aftermath of the great AA'orld AA'ar. No one likes to talk in terms of \\-ar. Perhaps xxe are lixing in a golden age—])erha])s there xxill never again be a conflict of nations dexouring the resources of millions of people, as the pacifists tell us, but then again, xve had better look at conditions squarely and make sure, that should conflict come, xve can defend ourselves and our country. That is xvh}- the A\ ar I)e])artinent established the R. O. T. C. units in our leading schools and unixersities of higher learning.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the unit here at the Universit}-. The alarming shortage of trained Negro officers to command Negro troops during the AA'orld AA'ar xvas apjialling. The next war'(although we dread the thought of xvar, but xxars are inevitable), because of the military train­ ing received in these established R. O. T. C. units, shall find hundreds of capable and thoroughly trained Negro reserve officers ready at a moment's notice ft) command and lead Negro troops.

For the academic year of 1928-1929 the Hoxvard LTniversity unit xvill have a splendid entry in the records and annals of the AA'ar Department. The unit xvhile at Cam]) Fort Leonard AA'ood for six xveeks of practical training along with sixteen units from the leading schools and unixersities of this ccnmtry for the Anglo-Saxons, rated third in general average for training and practice; and first in the administrative ratings. During the inauguration of Herbert Hoox er as thirt}--first ])resi(lent of the United States, a detachment of one hundred cadets and officers rei)resenting the R. O. T. C. unit of Hox\-ard LTnixersity x\-as loudly acclaimed along the route of marching, and favorably imj^ressed the President and the rex-iexving of­ ficials, as they, along x\-ith t)ther militar}- units, passed in reviexx- during th(; inaugural ]>arade.

The student Alajor of cadets is Robert Lee Berry of the College of Api:)lied Science, and honor R. O. T. C. student. The ])rofessors of Alilitary Science and Tactics and their assistants are; Colonel Charles Nasf)n How­ ard, head of the DeiDartment; Cai^tains Frank A. Byrne, Frank E. Linnell and Walter C.

KAPPA MU HONORARY SOCIETY

Kappa AIu Honorary Society was founded at Howard University Oc­ tober, 1923, at the ])roposal of Clifton Nelson. It has as its purpose fostering and i)erpetuating the tradition of sound scholarshi]) at Hoxvard University.

Juniors with an average of 90 percent and Seniors with an average of 85 percent are eligible for admission each Alay, when i)ublic exercises are held.

Efforts are being made to have Kappa AIu become a part of the national Phi Beta Kappa Society, and it is hoped that this will be realized in the near future. At present there are three undergraduate members of Kappa AIu at Howard, Leona Dudley, Carroll Aliller, and Harriet Ferguson ; two grad­ uate members, Helen AA'ilson and RoI)l)ie Turner, and several faculty mem­ bers..

Kappa AIu hoi)es to see its numbers increased, and is endeavoring to do its i)art in raising the scholastic standing at Howard LTniversity.

Howard 32—Livingstone 0 On October f)th the Howard University Bisons opened their season by defeating the Livingstone College team in Salisbury, N. C, by the tune of 32 to 0. For an o])ening game away from home the game was one of the most interesting of the year. Coach AA'est changed his entire method of a])])roach and for the entire afternoon ])ri()r to the game the Bisons w-ere made to learn nexv ])lays and succeeded in doing so to a remarkable extent. For Howard both the first team and the second team shoxved u]) to great advantag<" xvith the Doctor Dan Brown taking the ])re- mier role, xvhile for Livingstone Berry and Butler xvere outstanding.

Howard 19—J. C. Smith 7 Coach AA'est sent his second team out to face the Smith "Bulldogs" in the home open­ ing game but it wasn't for long because the "Bulldogs" broke loose with some too bad football and for a few moments it looked like a Smith day. AVhen Coach AA'est sent out the regulars there was a general sigh of re­ lief jjrexalent in everybody who xvanted the "ole" Bison to romp. Smith actually came u]) here xvith something up their sleeve and after it had slip])ed out, Bogel xvas first sug­ gested for an All-American j^ost which ])Ost he won hands down. It xvas a great game.

Page one hundred seventy-four Howard 7—Aloorehouse 0 Aloorebouse came all the xvay from the Georgia that some peojjle call "dear old;" de­ termined to break that '27 tie game by a nice little margin. They did—the score i.s' jirintecl above. But they sure went doxvn fighting. Captain "Hoss" Ross planted the old ])igskin 'tween the goal posts for the one and only score of the day. Aloorehouse got anxious and gave Howard the extra point by jumping offside on the "try." Marshall and Coles starred in the ])assing act.

Hoxvard 7—AA^est Adrginia 21 While several of the strategists of the team were witnessing the Bluefield-AIorgan game trying to get the "ups" on both Morgan and Bluefield the "A'elloxvjackets" from AA'est A'irginia threw a croxvbar in the "works." But they beat us and beat us fair so there's no kick coining. But, honestly, I think the boys had an off day and no fooling. Jack A'oung and Harry Payne xvere the real How­ ard threats in this game. All the AA'est A'ir­ ginia bunch played well. Hoxvard 13—Atlanta 7 On Noxember 10th Howard journe} ed to Atlanta in that same Georgia spoken about some time ago, and beat Atlanta by the score 13 to 7. The first two scores were made by forward passes and the first one by Atlanta from Edwards to AA'iggins. .A long ])ass from Ross to Coles evened things. It was in this game that Lloxx-ard coini)leted 16 out of 22 forxx-ard ])asses, a new colored inter-collegiate record. Ross, Paine, and Marshall xvere out­ standing for Hoxxard, and AA'iggins, Lamar and Clay xxere best for Atlanta.

Howard 7—Fisk 0 In the LTniversitx- Stadium Hoxvard crushed Fisk by a score of 7 to 0 in the fifth game of the season. Howard greatly outplayed Fisk in thefirst half, but L'isk came back strong in the second half and held Hoxvard closely for at least a cpiarter. The officials seemed to haxe an off da}' in this contest. Hoxx-ard scored 19 first downs to 4 for Fisk, but xx-ere unable to ])ut oxer the score in ])unts but once. AA'ebb, Paine, and Alack were best for Howard. Alack substituted for Siin])son and showed us some of the best end plax- that we hax-e seen so far this season. Brooks and Thornhill were Fisk's best bets.

Page one hundred seventy-six Howard 0—Bluefield 0

In the hardest game of the season the How­ ard Bisons and the Pduefield Big Blues clawed each other and broke each other up gently, and when the smoke had cleared neither team had scored. The Negro nexx-S])apers unanimous!} declared it the outstanding game of the sea­ son. Cain, the xx-onder All-American c]uarter- back of Bluefield, had his leg broken early in the second quarter and jjefore the game xva.-- over his mates xvreaked vengeance on the Bison clan, by sending both Tommy Haxvkins and Jack A'oung to the hosjiital with badly torn legs. There xvere more casualties in this game than all the other games combined -vx'bich caused Coach AA'est no little xx-orrx'.

Howard 0—Morgan 0

Hoxvard journexed to Baltimore and met the Morgan Bears in the new Alorgan ])ark and what went on is unnecessary to talk- about. Both Morgan and Howard xvere xx-ith- in one }-ard of the goal line but neither could score. In this game Alorgan proved a big sur])rise for it xvas thought that Lloxxarfl would score an easy x-ictory. Ex-erything ba])- ])ened at this game, but scoring. N {^^ ISON ^/ 1 9 "2 9 DM u

Lincoln won the toss and elected to take ad­ vantage of the incline and picked down hill to Hoxx-ard's five yard line. Coles returnexl the ball ten yards before being tackled by Douglas. Howard uncovered a consistent of­ fensive and made four first downs in succes­ sion xvhich ])lanted the pigskin on Lincoln's fifteen }-ard line. Llere the Lions, aided by a fi\-e yard penalty, held for doxvns. Lamar kicked out of danger to the midfield. Howard started another offensive. Alternat­ ing off tackle ])la}-s xvith a decej^itive aerial attack, with Alarshall and Payne carr}'ing the ball, the Bisons inarched again to the shadow of Lincoln's goal only to lose the ball on a fumble. Lamar booted again past midfield. Coles returned the kick to Lincoln's ten yard line. Lincoln fumbled on the first ])lay. Howard recox-ered as the quarter closed. LIow- ard returned the compliment by fumbling on thefirst ])lay . Howard started a great offensixe from Lin­ coln's ?>,^ yard line. A twelve yard jiass from Alarshall to Coles xvas ruled successful be­ cause of interference with the receiver. Coles skidded off left tackle for a touchdoxvn and Pa}-ne's droj) kick was blocked. Just as the half ended Payne received a

Page one hundred seventy-eight short pass from Alarshall, and aided by per­ fect interference, made a most beautiful run only to be tackled cjn Lincoln's one yard line just as the half ended. Lincoln showed the effect of Coach Meyer's lecture by varying their attack and matching Howard xvith a deceptive overhead offense. Lincoln kicked to Coles, who galloj)ed to his own 35 yard line. After afirst doxvn had been made by Alarshall, Clark of Lincoln, inter­ cepted a forward pass. Lamar kicked for a touch back. The ball went to Howard on the 20 yard line. Coles kicked to midfield xvhere Jackson, in an attein])t to make a "scoop," fumbled. Sally recovered for Howard. A pass, Marshall to Coles, shortened the distance to the ene­ my's goal by 13 yards. Lincoln subsequentlv made several substitutions. Ca])tain Ross made six yards thru the line and made a first down on Lincoln's 15 yard line. Two attempts at the line failed. A long ])ass to the end zone, Marshall to Mack, sewed up the game for Howard. Coles' drop kick for the extra ])oint went xvide. Martin and Smith made substan­ tial gains for Lincoln near midfield but the Lions never got xvithin Howard's 20 yard line. Clark punted to Payne on Howard's 45 yard line. Alarshall added five yards. A triple pass, Payne to Alarshall to Alack, netted ten yards. Lincoln smothered the next play. A pass, Marshall to Payne, netted thefirst doxvn , Lincoln tried desperately for a touchdoxvn. Three long i)asses in succession netted 65 yards and placed the ])igskin deep in Howard's territor}-. A pass, Afartin to Tein])le, made first doxvn ending the game. For Howard Alack, Coles, Alarshall and Payne were stellar while Alar- tin and Clark xvere best for Lincoln. BASKETBALL

Coach Burr and Ca])tain "Freak" AA'oods steered the P>ison shi]) back into the old C. I. A. A. channel and, xvhile they made a rather sloxx- a])])roach. it was, nevertheless, a xery successful one. One reason wh\- the team had a successful season xxas because they beat the "L" out of Lincoln, and made "sou])" out of Clark, Bluefield and AA'est A'irginia and otherwise made a general favorable inqiression ex-er}-where the}- xxent.

On their first southern jaunt, xvhile the Bisons were taking evervbodv into cam]). Captain AA'oods became sick and was lost to the L'isons for a fexx- games. But "Freakie" came back in time to ])ull many a game out of the fire for old Hoxvard. Along xvith AA'oods, A'an Harris, Siin])son, Hinton, Beasley, Hall, Jimmie Jones, AA'illiams, and Coates shared the s])otlight. Aluch of the success of the basketball season xvas due to the activeness of Alanager (ieorge AA'hitted, xvho made it very comfortable for the boys every­ where they went.

Coach Burr, s])eaking of the men comi)osing the team, made the folloxv- ing statement;

"They are some of the finest men I know and they are ver}- good win­ ners as well as good losers."

On mail}- occasions during the season one ])()int decided a win or a loss to the L^niversit}', i)roying in a xxa}- the mettle of the men on the squad. The three most interesting games of the season and the most pleasant to see w-ere the How-ard-Lincoln game which xvas ])layed on the night of March 21, the Clark University game and the Bluefield game.

On Saturday, Ajiril 4, Hoxvard doxvned a fast-going team from Storer College by a score of 11 to 9 then accelerated, met and crushed Arnold Col­ lege by the score of 13 to 6. On Easter Alonday, A])ril 6, instead of playing as per customary on a foreignfield, Howard stayed home, tackled and had thefirex\-orks turne d on them.

Arnold College, after having played Georgetown University in the morning, journeyed back to Howard xvith blood in her eves and xvhen the dust had cleared at the end of the ninth inning, Hoxvard staggered off the field, having been defeated by a 9 to 2 score. The Arnold men seemed to have been inspired by reason of their morning triumph over Georgetown, and knocked the old a])ple all over the field. No less than ten brand new balls' were lost in this game via the foul ball—fence play.

At the beginning of the season man}- of the old A'ets were in uniform including such men as Ross atfirst. Coles at second. Tick Smith in center. Mask at third, Roy and Slade, i)itchers, Patterson in right and Jimmy Shields.

Rain also ])la}-ed bax-oc during the baseball season. .Sexeral of the major games xvere caused to be cancelled from the schedule due to this element.

Two southern teams came uj) to AA'ashington and decided to crush our baseball squad and came near doing just what they had decided to do— Johnson C. Smith beat us by a 15-5 score then Alorris Brown completely annihilated our team, xvinning- by a 25-10 score. "Bun" Hayes, ace of the Smith squad, and recognized as one of the greatest Negro college pitchers, was touched for 12 hits, while Hull and Dean issued 14 betxveen them, proving at least Howard's ability to hit. In thefifth innin g Jimmy Shields poled out a long homer which xxas matched by Tucker of Smith in the 8th inning. Hull passed four and Hayes gaxe the ticket to three ; Hayes fanned nine Hoxvard men in the game while Hull struck out two of the "Bulls."

AA'orst of all, was the fact that Lincoln, loxvl}- Lincoln, of all teams, came here to xvin for the first time in ages. It was on a beautiful after­ noon, April 19, 1928, that the "Lions," surely robbed of their roar during the history of the Class of 1929, actuall}- came to AA'ashington and xvon a game. Quite a feat for them, but miracles must necessarily hapijen now and then or there wouldn't be an}' miracles. So the}- won by a score of 12-11 and that's that . Harmon and Lamar xvere the battery for Lincoln, while Ray, Slade and Lomax held down the Bison end.

Idle Freshman scjuad ])la}-ed as xx-ell as might have been expected; in fact, they proved to be nearly as poxx-erful as the regular squad. They won 7 of 9 games played.

Those earning the A'arsity "LI" in baseball were; Captain AA'alker, Manager Taylor, Gaskins, Loma.x, Alance, Hull, Redbanks, Taxlor, Si^ann, Boxvles, Bogle, Gillam and Jones.

Herman Gaskins xvas voted as ca])tain-elect of the team, xxhile John Howard was voted as manager-elect of the s(]uad.

Page one hundred eighty-three TRACK

Coach "Knute" AA'atson's call for the track candidates xvas ansxvered by many of the capablefield, track, rela}-, cross country, and marathoners. "Kunte's" ironing out ])rocess deyelo])ed the athletes very rapidly and, de- s])ite the very short training season, the track men made a very formidable showing, especially in the s])rint division. Captain "Tony" Langston showed rare form all season beating our outstanding op])onents from all sections of the country.

AA'hile the relay team lost at Ohio State and at the Penn Carnival, nevertheless, they xvere alxvays xvay u]) "in the money."

AA'atson uncovered Glascoe Alack, of blaltimore, who became one of the outstanding s])rinters of the year, also croxvned King of the "tough bickers." In the Lincoln open meet Mack xvas leading the field in the 100 yard dash by several feet only to hit a hole and fall, xvith victf)ry xvithin a few feet of his gras]). ddie winner of the race xvas clocked at nine and seven-tenths seconds.

In the field events Joe Drew, "Bol)o" Aliller and Jess Petty brought in the major laurels. Petty copping vault honors in the Lincoln oi)en meet.

Page one hundred eighty-four SWIMMING The first A'arsity sxvimming team in the histor}- of the LTniversity was formed by Coach Pendleton during the '28 '29 season. During the 1927- 1928 season, so much was accomplished b}- intramural sxvimming under the direction of Air. Pendleton that upon recommendation of the Department of Physical Education, swimming xx-as made a A arsity sport, and sex-eral meets -were arranged. The first of these meets was against the Baltimore Y. AT. C. A. and was xxidel}- adxertised. Due to the inability of Jones, AA'ebb, and Morris, regulars, to be present at the meet due to sickness, Hoxvard lost the meet to Baltimore. The meet xxas x-ery interesting and xvas not decided until thefinal event, x\-hich xvas lost by Hoxvard. It was in this meet that both Joe Drexv and Azikixvie, East African swinnning and track star, outdistanced men to win their events handily. Smallx\-ood xvas Baltimore's best bet and scored several victories for them. After the first meet. Babe Sxx-ife, xvho had been acting as manager of the Bisons, was elected to the ])osition and Pete Tyson as cai)tain to lead the tankmen. Coach Pendleton ])ut the sxvimmers through many hard xvork- outs preliminar}- to the second meet against the Nei)tune Club also of Balti­ more, and as a result the team won x-ery easily. Alorris, Drexv, Harris and Aziwikie again won the ])reinier honors in this meet. This c]uartet easily won the relay within record time. Those x\-inning points for the l)is()n team for the season included Nofles, sprints; John Harris, 220 yards in the relay; Ben Brown, 100 yards; Drew, underx\-ater swim for speed, breast stroke and j^lunge for distance; Azikixvie, 50 yards back stroke, 100 yards free style, and relay; Alorris, underxvater swim for speed, 50 yards back stroke, 50 yards breast stroke, relay, and

Other outstanding members of the team included "Buck" Smith, dixing; Jess Petty, dixing; Babe Swift, 100 yards free style, and others. There has been very great improvement in the class of the swimmers both as to style and as to class. Alany of the men, not only those connected with the swimming team, and a fexv of the female swimmers of the University have xvon their Red Cross emblems while under the tutelage of Coach Pen­ dleton. Joe Drexv xvas made the unanimous choice of the team to lead it for the next season. Jas. Alanigaulte was elected manager during the same meeting.

THERE used to be more argument than now regarding the value of a dentist doing his oxvn X-Ray work. That was before Dr. Cool­ idge (inventor of the Coolidge tube) perfected the CDX. Now thousands of dendsts have installed the Victor CDX. They arefinding it increases their production by promoting systematic methods, by insuring accurate diagnoses, by eliminating a large proportion of errors. These dentists, since owning the Victor CDX, have improved month by month in their radio­ graph technique. Through constant and increas­ ing use, they have educated themselves in this important phase of the profession. And this course of education has not been an expense but a profitable investment. When a radiograph is desired the dentist with a CDX simply reaches over to the wall where it is mounted on a folding bracket, and brings it into Costs nothing to investigate operating Position as easily as he does his dental engine. You may think you "can't afford to bother with X-Rays." But that's what hundreds of dendsts have said. Then they looked into the matter more thoroughly.
