HOWARD UNIVERSITY
GRADUATES LARGEST
CLASS IN HISTORY
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, ami
Bishop J. Albert Johnson
Address Graduates
Washington, June 24.—One hundred
and eighty-four young men and wom
en were the recipients of degrees at
commencement exercises at Howara
University May 31. They were dis
tributed as follows: College of Arts
and Science, 49; Teachers’ College,
2^;, Theology, 7; Medicine, 12; Den
tistry, 42; Pharmacy, 17; Law, 28.
This is probably the largest number of
degree graduates in the history' of the
institution and represents an increase
of 28 over the number of last year.
The increase is due largly to the ex
ceptionally large class in Dentistry,
which is twice the size of last year’s
class.
The annual address to the graaua es
was delivered by the Hon. Josephus
Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. Mr.
Daniels, citing statistics obtained from
the office of the Director of Census,
commended the colored people upon
their progress in fifty years. He stat
ed his belief that all racial problems
of the country could be solved, if both
whites and blacks would take the sim
ple prescription of one pound of com
mon sense per day, until relief was
afforded.
President Newman presented the di
plomas and Dean Isaac Clark of the
School of Theology delivered the in
vocation and benediction.
THe address to the graduates of the
non-degree departments of the Acad
emy, Commercial College and Teach
ers' College was delivered on Monday
night by Bishop J. Albert Johnson, of
the A. M. E. Church. In a brilliant
talk full of illustrations from African
life and customs, Bishop Johnson
spoke of the moral battles that the
young secondary students would have
to face in life, and ended with a mag
nificient plea for missionary teachers
to Africa.
“Racial Good Will” is the signifi
cant title of a neat pamphlet, contain
ing excerpts of addresses delivered
at various times in the past few
yeaers by Major R. R. Moton, presi
dent of Tuskegee Institute. It is
lofty in thought, simple in statement
"nd profitable to all who wish to
labor in co-operation with our fellow
man. 1
