LEWIS K. DOWNING

IN HONOR OF LEWIS K. DOWNING Dean of the School of Engineering, and Architecture

Since 1928 when \'ou were appointed Dean of Howard's School of Engineering and Architecture you have worked persistently to make it a first class school. Under your direc­ tion, the school was temporarily accredited in 1937, the first engineering college in the Washington area to receive this distinction. Three years later the school was fully accredited. You then turned your efforts to building up an excellent faculty and to the securing of an adecjuate class building. The Howard University School of Engineering and Architecture with its modern building and equipment, its well-trained staff, and its acknowledged posi­ tion of dominance and leadership is a monument to your devoted and unflagging efforts. Sensing early in \'our career the importance of engineering and architectural training for Negroes you have been a true pioneer in this field, plotting its course and giving it wise and dynamic leadership. A worthy son of Howard University, you have kept alive its ideals of service, and in your chosen field have influenced all Negro America. Because of this lead­ ership and devotion, and above all else, because of your pioneering vision, we, the members of the Class of 1954, are happ\' to dedicate tliis yearbook to you.
