SAYS
PROPOSED MEMORIAL TO
HON. JOHN M. 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.

It is both foolish and dctri*

habitual with many people. For
a person to reveal his circum

of friends. Another result is to

subject one to criticism and rid*
