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, to fit 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.

Page fourteen EMMETT J. SCOTT Secretary-Treasurer 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.

AVILKINSON Registrar 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.

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.

BALLOCH Dean 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.
