LANGSTON The National Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs has proposed to the Trustees of Howard University the estab lishment of a memorial to the Hon. John M, Langston in the shape of a suitable ' building on the campus. From its earl iest history it lias been the pol' icy and practice of the Trustees to name University buildings in honor of individuals who have contributed to the growth and development of the Univer sity or who have figured signif icantly in the progress and wuU fare of the Negro race. Clark Hall, the boy’s dormitory, was named after Mr. Clark who con tributed the initial funds for its erection. Miner Hal , the old dormitory, bears the iiai.ie in m,., dda M<ner who in uau^u. a.t „ die higher educa' 11.111 oi i o ed girls in the Dis trict oi v .umbia. The Evarts Laiw oui.mug derives its name from .Senator William M. Ev ans who, through the urgent persuasion oi the late Urol. William 11. 11. Hart, secured from Congress an annual ap propriatlon ol ten thousand dollars for the legal education of colored youth .The Thirkield Science Had is .so named in honor of Bishop Thirkield, then President of Howard Univer sity, through whose endeavor Congress was induced to contri bute u hundred thousand dol lars tor that purpose, incident' ally, this is the f rat case, on record, where the Government bus contributed a building to a private institution. The sun sequent expansion by way of buildings through Congression al appropriation, is tracable to the initiative and enterprise of Pres. Thirkield. The three new girls dormitories bear the names of Sojouruner Truth, ' Phyliss Wheatley and Julia E. Caldwell. The first two names are famous in the literary world and in the anti'slavery struggle. Miss Julia E. Cald well was a distinguished alum na of the University. Douglas Ilall, the most recently con" strueted building, bears the name of the great anti-slavery agitatufr and orator who for many years served as a Trustee of Howard University. It is ominently fitting and proper that John M. Langston’s name should be honored as pro posed by the Federation of Col ored Women’s Clubs. lie stands out conspiciously in the of the Negro race. lie was the first Negro to graduate from Oberlin College in 184!) .and the first to enter upon the prac tice of law Upon graduation he entered upon the study of the ology which he abandoned for law .opening a law offiee in Oberlin in 1854 and for a nunr ber of years enjoyed a wide and luereative practice, l’rof. Langston was a facile speaker and was in great req uisition as an anti-slavery orat or and ranked along with'Fred erick Douglass as the two out standing characters in the up ward struggle of the race for freedom, citizenship and the elective franchise. In 1868 he established the Law Depart ment of Howard University of which he served as Dean until he severed his connections with the University. This was the first law school ever establish ed for Negroes in the history of the world and is the only which survives down to this day as a part of a great insti* I Sponsored and Supported by Public Spirted Northside Business Men for the Purpose of Creating Better Understanding Between Merchants and Consumers an dfor the Purpose of Bringing Dircetly to You the Latest Price Quotations tution of learning. Prof. Langs ton gathered around him many i of the leading white members [ of the bar of the District of Columbia us Professors of Law. Upon the resignation of Gen eral 0, 0. Howard, he was made Acting'President of the Uni versity until appointed by President llayH as Minister to Haiti where be represented his eountry for eight years at Port was chosen as President of the from the Diplomatic service, he au-Prnee. Upon retirement Virginia Nonrial and Collegiato Institute which he organized and started on its upward wuy. 'I'llis institution is now one of the most progressive and best developed of our state colleges. Prof. Langston res gned from the Presidency of this institu' tlon to enter politics and was elected to Congress from the 9th Virginia District in 1890. After leaving Congress he de voted the rest of his life to his first love—the pract'ce of law in the District of Columbia. Mis autobiography “From the Virginia Plantation to the Na tional Capitol” constitutes an ample contribution to our bilr liograph ral literature. The legal profession among the Negroes of the present day owes more to the incentive ami inspiration imparted by Prof. Langston than to any other in dividual. When I was first married I became his next door in ighbor and often used to sit on his porch and drink n from his eloquent lips the story of his varied and fruitful life. He was passionately devoted to the profession of law and used to say that if the Negro ever received the full measure of his rights under the 14th and 15th amendments it would be through the agency of Negro lawyers pleading their cause in their own tongue. The launching of the human rights drive by the NAACP during the past year amply justifies and fulfills the prophecy of Prof. Langston ,the first Ne* groe to be admitted to the bar in the United States. Prof. Iiangston bought from Den. O. O. Howard a square of ground, contigious to the Uni versity Campus ,on which he built his residence after the pattern of Professor’s cottages on the Oberlin campus. This lot was laid out and landscaped under the supervision of Sen" ntor Charles Sumner, his close and personal friend. I take a becoming personal pride in this proposal for the reason that I purchased the or iginal homestead from the Es tate of Prof. Langston in 191R and have lived there up to the present time. Two years ago I sold the Langston homestead to the University as part of its plans for enlargement. Coir gress has been most liberal to the 1 niversity in providing buildings and facilities and we may confidentially look for ward to the continuance of this policy until the twenty year plan, which the genius of the architect, Mr. Albert I. Cassell, has well nigh brought to per fection. The Trustees will doubtless I be glad to avail themselves of | the suggestion of the National Federation of Women’s Clubs and place the next building provided by Congress on the old Langston homestead in honor of him who has brought such honor and distinction to the Negro race and to Howard University. Honor to whom honor is due. PROVERBS AND PARABLES' (By A. B. Mann) KEEP YOUR OWN? COUNSEL” ' It is both foolish and dctri* mental to expose one’s person al affairs to others. But it is * habitual with many people. For a person to reveal his circum stances and his weaknesses of" ten means to weaken the con fidence and lessen the respect of friends. Another result is to tfive to enemies information that mitfht be used detrimental ly and such conduct will surely subject one to criticism and rid* icule. Atty. R. L.
