HOWARD UNIVERSITY HA S
10,266 Graduates in
Seventy-One Years
WASHINGTON, D. C.- n ..............
On March 2. 1938, Howard University celebrated the
Seventv-first Anniversary of its founding and its many years
of distinguished educational service. Its history and tradi
tions are fairly well known to the general public.
MARKABLE RECOI

CIENA cruconne
SEVENTY-ONE YEARS OF
SERVICE
During the school year 1866-67,
with meagre resources, a handful
of students and surrounded by an
atmosphere of unfaith in the Negro’s
capacity for educational advance-
ment, Howard University was
launched with the purpose of pro-
viding able teachers and profession-
al leaders for a distressed and scat-
tered people.
Today, after 71 years of service,
the institution is a well established
university with more than 2240
students enrolled in 9 undergrad-
uate, graduate and professional
schools and colleges, with a plant
and other assets valued at a sum in
excess of $8,000,000. Its 10,266 grad-
uates have been at work in 4
states and 24 foreign countries.
The faculties of the university now
include the largest community of
Negro scholars in the-world, who.
in their accomplishments, represent
victory over every obstacle toward
cultural development which 71 years
ago seemed insuperable.
As the founders desired, the ma-
jority of Howard University’s 10,263
graduates have served as teachers,
devoting their lives to the training
of youth and to the building of a
system of education in the South.
Of Howard’s 10,266 graduates.
1709 have become physicians and
surgeons, or 49 per cent Of all Ne-
gro physicians and surgeons now
practicing in the United States. 835
others have become dentists or 50
per cent, of all Negro dentists now
practicing; 1210 have become dlaw-
yers or 90 per cent of all law-
yers now practicing; 521 have be-
come pharmacists, and 140 have be-
come engineers and architects. ,
In every Negro population center
of the United States these graduates
are at work, and they have had a
major share in the remarkable de-
velopment of the Negro.
"Here- is a record,” said President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, “of which
the Negro race may be proud. It
is a record of which America is
proud.”, PAYS -11
THE PHYSICAL PLANT
lo< |«, sicamnant , nes
The physical piant includes some
twenty-slit buildings estimated to
be worth about six million dollars
exclusive of furniture, laboratory
and special equipment. Howard has
undergone many physical changes
during the last twelve to fifteen
years. Added new buildings include
three dormitories for women, erect-
ed and equipped at a cost of $770,-
000, that provide living accommoda-
tions on the campus for women
students whose parents do not live
AID AND GI
By NOEL E. DANIELS
MARSHALL, Texas.-
Bishop College has deep concern
for all those whom it serves. It is
an institution with the human touch
and liberal views which is indicated
by the generous aid and guiadance
given its students. Special services
are given to Freshmen under the
supervision of Dean Melvin J.
Banks, who has an organized pro-
gram to receive and guide as well
as acquaint the new students with
all of the departments of the col-
lege through lectures from repre-
sentatives of each department during
registration dates.
In the transition from High School
to college, die Freshman encounters
many perplexing problems. He is
forced to make certain social and
intellectual adjustments that con-
dition his entire future. There is
ro time in his academic career
when he is in greater need of effect-
ive sympathetic guidance and the
close personal companionship of a
wise friend This distinctive service
rendered by Bishop College enables
the student to get started without
the waste of time, money and op-
portunities for a good college edu-
cation.
