XIII JUNE t<jrq No.6 EDITORIALS SUPERIOR :\DVA:N'l'AGES OF11ERBD BY HOWARD. 'l'Jus is the season or the )'ear when tbc a,piri11g Negro youth raises the ,1ucry, ''What college shall 1 attend next year?" Friends vohmtccr opinions as plentiful aml varied as the interpretations of a masterpiece of literature. Every man, in fact, points to his own college, with the su1)1)ressed optimistic rellection.-·'Set what a great man it made of me!" Perhaps it is but natural that every mau should be somewhat dogmatic about his own college; £or he knows that one college i11ti• 111ately, and is virtually ignorant of alt others. 'l'he pros1,ccth-c college student, therefore, cannot depend wholly upon such prejudicial advice. At least three funda. mental qualities of an institution ought to l)e considered beiorc a choice is made: first, the institution's rcvutation for high S;tandards: second, its facilitie~ for main­ taining high standards; third, its means of encouraging initiative in its students. Tn these three essentials, Howard offers superior advamagcs to Negro st11cle111s. Realizi11g that the chief responsihilitr for the Negro's college, university, and 11rofc$sional training must be borne by the colored institutions, aud, further, that hardly more tllan three large ~olored in,titutions of really unh·ersity rank can be maintained, Howard University has diminated her secondary departments ancl raised her standards to compare most favorably with those of the best institution,. With the exception of two or three consen·ative colleges, no :\meric.in college has c.tricter requirements for admission than Howard. 111 fact, many of the re1mtabk colleges allow considerably more latitude than Howard. 'l'hc r,iquiremeuts for the Bachelor's Degree and the general character of the curriculum ,how Howard to be modern, progr<:s~ive, and rcpresentati\·c. Howard, moreover, maintain:, a well-traine<l faculty of suOkie.nt size to givet adcq,1ately the courses offered. Alread)·, men of recognized scholarly attiinmcnts have been attracted to the University, and others arc lo follow. The policy of the University is to attl'act as mauy ,cholars as available funds will permit. High standards, therefore, are maintained hy men of broad university training. 'l'hc federal appropriations, though not sufficiently large to support the Universit)'. help to give Howard an obvious advantage in attracting the best colored talent. Graduates of the college are accepted for gradual~ work in all the larger institu­ tions. Ho\\'ard is the only colored institution from which graduates are now acce)lled at Harv:trd for advanced degrees. (n addition to Howard's high stand;irds and her facilities for maintaining such standards, means of fostering initiative in the students arc nunicrbus. 'I'hc student bodv numbers over l,SOO. Student organizations are open to all alike. If a student 0 has 1he germ of leadership, he has e,,ery opportunity aud encouragement to devdo1> it. For example, he has a chance to lead one of the numerous teams, or to be president of one of the numerous $0<:ieties, or become manager of one of the dubs. There is every outlet for his talent. The policy of the University is to encourage the kind of freedom that is conducive to manly development. Fraterni• ties, therefore, are nol discouraged at Howard, but rather encouraged; for thus Published by Digital Howard @ Howard University, 1919 5 The Howard University Record, Vol. 13 [1919], Iss. 6, Art. 1 266 H OWARD UNIVERSITY RECORD far they have proved their worth by helping to solve the home-Ii fe probl:m,. 'IS well as helping to develop manly virtues. A student has not only an acadermc h[e, but a social life as well. Furthermore, \Vashington is a veritable unive,·sity cHy, with a<lvantagcs 1111- surpassed by those of any other city in the land. The Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, the Bureau of Education, the Corcoran A rt Gallery. the Army Medical Museum, the Naval Observatory, and a number· of other buildings of educational importance, may be visited freely; and facilities for research in any one are made accessible to Howard students. Then, too, 011 the floors of the Senate and the House of Representatives, leaders in national thought and state,;manship may be heard on vital questions. Lecfures and concerts in the city are usually open to all. 'l'he very atmosphere of Washington is that of a liberal education.
