Memorial Service lo Booker T. Washington

A S T Sunday after­noon, December 12, at four o’clockin Ran­kin Memorial Chapel there was held a me­morial service to the late Booker T. Wash­

ington. Not only was a great number of students present, but there was also a large number of people from the city. The occa­sion was at once dignified and impressive. We could have come together for no more worthy pur­pose than to pay honor and re­spect to the memory of the great­est Negro of his time.

Justice Peelle was the presid­ing officer; he made a few intro­ductory remarks and then intro­duced Dean Cook. Dean Cook and Dr. Newman represented the Un­iversity at Dr. Washington’s fu­neral. The Dean in his character­istic eloquent manner gave us an excellent word picture of the fu­neral. We understood that he stated later that he could have said much more had he had a greater allotment of time.

The n e x t speaker was D r. Thomas Jesse Jones, a member of the Government Board of Ed­ucation, who spoke on the sources of Dr. 'Washington’s greatness. He said that the sources of Dr. Washington’s greatness werehu- rnility, faith, service and love and that Dr. Washington belongs nei­ther to the white race nor to the colored race but to humanity. He further stated that Dr. Wash­ington is one of the world’s few great men and his name deserves to be linked with the names of Washington and Lincoln. . ..

Our President, Dr. Newman, was the last speaker. Dr. New­man spoke of Dr. Washington’s thoroughness as the dominant element in his success. He showed how this quality of thoroughness had characterized Dr. Washing­ton throughout his life from the time that he made his initial im­pression by thoroughly dusting a room when he entered Hamp­ton Institute until he became one of the leading men of the world. In other words, D r. Newman showed that Dr. Washington was a master of detail and in that way was able to render the service and accomplish the good that he did.

The memorial service was a tri­bute and eulogy to the memory of thelamented educator, asource of inspiration to those who were present and a credit to the Uni­versity. —L. 0. Baumgardner.

Wonderful Progress of Howard Y. M. C. A.

HIS is a record break­ing year for the How­ard Y. M. C. A. from several points o f view; namely, mem­b e r s h ip , facilities and special efforts.

Due to the energetic labor of membership committee, and the other executive officers, the As­sociation has the largest enroll­ment of members that it has ever had in its history. We dare say that th e membership is once more nearly approaching to the high Christian standard of the Triangular Man, the ideal of the Y. M. C. A., than any other mem­bership in the history of the or­ganization at Howard. This last statement will be brought out more .clearly in special efforts which are enumerated in the lat­ter part of this brief account.

From the point of view of facil­ities, the Association Building, commonly known as Spaulding Hall, is better equipped this year than ever before, since the two years that the Association has been in Spaulding Hall. The As­sociation has a well fitted Gener­al Secretary’s office, a very good reading room and, last but by no means least, a very appropriate amusement room inwhich are an excellent xjooI table, good checker­boards, numerous other modern games for amusement and a new upright piano.

The special efforts of the Asso­ciation are the most promising, especially along the line of assist­ing students who are behind in their work, and greatest of all along the line of social service in

'■The Messiah’

T HE Howard University Choral Society, a stu­dent organization de­signed to bring before the faculty and stu­dent body of this in­

stitution the best of the produc­tions of the various music mas­ters, presented in Andrew Ran­kin Memorial Chapel, Wednes­day evening, December eighth, Handel’s Oratorio, “ The Messi­ah. ” The Choral Society pre­sented as the Soloists for the occasion Miss Lillian Evans and Miss Marie C. James, both of Washington, D. C., and Mr. Ro­land W. Hayes and Mr. William Gustafson, both of Boston, Mass.

Washington’ s foremost sopranos, sang very pleasingly and artisti­cally the soprano, solos of , the Oratorio. Miss Evans is study­ing in the Howard University C onservatory , and her work showed a marked improvement over last year. Her tones, her diction, and her interpretation were gratifying to hear, and es­pecially pleasing was the man­ner in which she rendered “ I Know that My Redeemer Liveth” and “ Come Unto Me.” r

M iss M arie C. James, well known in Washington musical circles, sang the contralto solos. She seemingly had the smallest voice of any of the soloists, and seemed least at home. Miss James placed herself at a disad­vantage in her first solo by a noticeable inattention towhat was going on, and as a result was un­ready when her time came to sing. In this same solo, “ Be­loved a Virgin Shall Conceive,” . Miss James was handicapped by following, without the interpo­lation of a chorus, the great sono­rous tones of Mr. Gustafson in his0 dramatic rendition of the bass solo, “ But Who May Abide the Day of His Coming.” Her voice, so much smaller than his, suffered by comparison. Miss James rendered very pleasingly, as was shown by the applause of the audience, “ He Shall Feed His Flock Like a Shepherd.”

It was this same O ratorio, given by the Choral Society in

1912,' th^tilr. Bol/ncEW: Hayes, pupil of Mr." Arthur J. Hubbard of Boston, made bis initial bow to a Washington audience. Ever since that time he has never fail­ed to fulfill all the expectations of the music loving public of this city. He did the tenor parts ex­ceedingly well, and especially “Thy Rebuke Hath Broken His Heart,” an d -“ Behold and See If There Be Any Sorrow.” All, however, were handled in a mas-; terly artistic manner. He re ­ceived, each time he sang, most generous applause.

The requirements of the bass solos of “ The Messiah” brought to Washington, Mr. William Gus­tafson, Jr., of Boston. The great dramatic possibilities o f these solos were only appreciated by Mr. Gustafson. His voice was

especially adaptable to these.solos, which quality made them very ef­fective. “ Why Do the Nations So Furiously Rage Together?” was easily his master rendition and he sang it as though he did

_ wonder “ Why,” in this enlighten­ed time, “The Nations So Furious­ly Rage Together.” His tones were big, rich, and full, and his work made him a fitting fourth to such a quartette of soloists.

But “The. Messiah” could have been nothing without the back­ground of the excellent chorus

work of the Choral Society. The chorus sang as it has never sung before. The shading, the attack,

.-the quality of tone, all were wor­thy of any chorus that could be got together any where, and show­ed a careful selection and train­ing. Howard should be proud of her Choral Society.

-In an oratorio of this kind there is always one likely to be over­looked and forgotten. That one is the accompanist. To Miss C. Beatrice Lewis, lately of "the Bos­ton Conservatory, now teacher of piano in the Howard Conservato­ry, belongs no small share of the contributions for the success of the oratorio. No one but an ex­perienced accompanist knows the taxing expenditure of energy and patience, labor and endurance, that are demanded of one who in this connection helps to train a chorus for such work. The work of Miss Lewis was highly com­mendable to her ability, and she has made for herself a place among the leading accompanists of Washington.

To every great machine there must be a driving powTer; to every successful army there must be an able and untiring leader. Miss Lulu Vere Childers, Dean of the Howard Conservatory of Music, and Professor of Music, served both as a driving power and a leader in the work of preparing this great chorus. The careful selection of voices for quality, the consistent training of the chorus for expression, attack and other effective results, were clear­ly made noticeable by the general good quality of tone, by the ex­pression and by the attack in the various choruses. To Miss Chil­ders, then, is due the real honor

of the success of the' prbductioiv and its memory will linger as a tribute to her energy and appli­cation, and to her devotion to the art.

One noticeable and lamentable fact about this effort on the part of the Choral Society was the lack of support by both faculty and student body. A work of such educational value, and the musi­cal standing given the University by such renditions are worthy of the fullest.support. It is to be hoped that the “ May Festival,” for which the Society is prepar ing, will be better attended by both faculty and students.

The work of the college chapter of the N. A. A. C. P. in conduct­ing a two weeks’ membership campaign deserves notice. The chapter began by securing Dean William Pickens of Morgan Col­lege and Dr. Charles Edward Russell for speakers. These speakers outlined the work of the N. A. A. C. P. movement and

urged the students to give their assistance to the cause for equal rights forall citizens of the nation. In addition to securing promi­nent speakers, the chapter has offered certain inducement to those who persuade new mem­bers to join. How well the stu­dents responded to the call for membership we are not prepared to say. We do know, however, that students are generally slow to take an active interest in work of this nature at Howard. That this organization is working un­selfishly in the interest of the colored people, is beyond quest­ion; and every student in the Uni­versity should give it his sup­port. Those who loyally sup­port this movement do only their duty, those who fail to support it not. only fail to do what they should but also show little re­gard for their future welfare.

An Open Letter

x x v_y *« xx xv 1 A V XJ XV kJ X X X u vy U XV 11 XX uW X «7

Howard University,December 8, 1915.

Mr. Editor,Dear Sir:

The spectacle after the game between the Freshmen and the Sox^homores on th e Campus, though affording a great deal of amusement through its absurdi­ties, was a sorry sight from the standxioint of true siiortsm an- ship. That the Sophomores were fairly and overwhelmingly defeat­ed must x ass without contradic­tion and they should have taken their defeat like vanquished he­roes and not like men of smaller calibre.

On all athletic fields it is the privilege of the victor to celebrate his victory by any fair means and should not b e molested b y the conquered. If the spirit shown by the Sophomore is to continue in Howard University, then it is only fair that at the next debate, if they are defeated, for them to smash whatever banners and tear whatever pennants that are waved by the friends of their exponents, and if necessary s m a s h a few heads without regard to whose head they are;or if they fail toout- wit the Freshmen with resi^ectto banquets or dinners, it will be in order for them to take advantage of whatever circumstances they can to give vent to their disap­pointment.

Ihave witnessed many contests and defeats, but have never seen such unsportsmanlike behavior. It may n ot be my business to cpach either students or faculty, but it may be well if the faculty should take notice of a matter of this kind.

The Sophomores cannot claim that the bringing of the coffin on the field was anything but prop­el-, as goes in College sports. Why did not the same men demol­ish the coffin when Hampton so fairlyand squarely defeatedHow- ard? Why did not Hamilton de­molish the coffin when Howard defeated her? Itwould be inkee]> ing with the same spirit.

Come, gentlemen, let us be true “ sports.” -—Spectator

Harry M. Martin

Harry Martin, Howard’s Sprinter

Howard University can boast of having the speediest colored hurdler of America today, in the person of Harry M. Martin, the Xiresent manager o f our track team. While a student in High School at Cincinnati, Ohi o, he was credited with the world’s record of 7 2-5 seconds for the 60-yard low hurdles indoors.

Martin entered Howard in the fall of 1912, and at once became the fastest man not only in the low and high hurdles up to 220- yards, but also in the 100 and 440- yard dashes as well.

In the summer of 1913, Martin proved that he was a real hur­dler by winning five A. A.U. titles.

He started by capturing the Ju­nior Metroi>olitan 220-yard low hurdle chamx>ionshii:> at Travers Island, then he annexed the Ju­nior National title for the same event at Baltimore a few weeks later. At Celtic Park he won the 120 high hurdle race, thereby gaining the Senior Metroxiolitan title, and a few days later he ac­quired the Small Club chamxnon- shii) by taking both the high and low hurdle events. In the Pana­ma-Pacific Exposition try-outs held in the Harvard Stadium last June, Martin, who sported the colors of the Smart Set Athletic Club, won the 120 high hurdles. The pick o f t h e Eastern stars participated in this try-ouL and Martin won his events from wor­thy rivals.

The above-mentioned track ac­tivities are only a few o f the events in which Martin has en­gaged. His r e c o r d is replete with brilliant victories, and h e enjoys a high rexmtation among the eastern and western colleges. We are fortunate in having such a man at the head of our trtick team, and a prosxierous season in this intercollegiate sport is as­sured. —Athletic Editor

A Comment ,

The Sopho m ore-Preshm an game of Saturdajr, December 4, is a contest that deserves much favorable comment from our stu­dent world. The contest was, a clean, well-fought and well-earn­ed battle. For preparedness and ability to overcome in a sane and equal contest the Freshmen are “ supreme.” Even though accord­ing to tradition I am related to the Sophomores an d w a n t e d them to win, I must say that the contest of Saturday bestows up­on the Freshmen the mastery of the campus for this year.

Freshmen are the victors of the “ only contest of the year.” Upon the campus, October 14, the spec­tators were pre.sented with some­thing that can not be exagger­ated under the name of a contest. As a substitute for that unpopu­lar class rush and as a rational contest between the Sophomores and Freshmen the football game should henceforth be the test of physical strength.

Some might say that such an artful contest could not be pre­pared in such a short period. With men who have a knowledge of football,asmanyPreshmen and Sophomores do, it will only take about two weeks after the open­ing of school to bring these con­testants upon the field and show the public a departure from the old order of things.

—Robert S. Chase, Member of Pense Club.

Notes

When the shrill of the time­keeper’s whistle proclaimed the close of the Hampton-Howard game, it also ended the football career of Brice and Beamon, the l a s t of the famous Veterans.

The football history of these two stars is replete with brilliant records of achievements which will be long remembered by ev­ery loyal son of Howard. As these two gridiron warriors take their leave, they carry with them the sincere affection of the stu­dent body as a token of merited

reward. Thosewho'follow in the footsteps of Brice and Beamon will have worthy rivals to emu­late.

For the past three years How­ard’s athletic prestige has been waning. On Thanksgiving Day our football team met a crushing defeat at Hampton, and now both students and alumni are asking the question,. “ What is wrong with athletics at Howard?” There can be no doubt that every phase of intercollegiate athletics needs readjustment. The student body and the alumni want to see the White and Blue, as other leading institutions of the country, stand

for athletic supremacy. In sub- ^ sequent issues we propose to

make an • investigation wi t h a view of pointing out the defects of the present system.

The intrinsic value of theFresh- man-Sophomore football game is the training which it gives to pro­spective candidates for the var-

--- sity team. In all the large un­iversities the Freshman team ranks next to the varsity and ar­ranges a schedule with other va­rious teams. The Sophomore team is likewise cond acted on the same basis. In this way good football players aredeveloped and supply the varsity team. . Even at Hampton this system of inter­class athletics is carried on with great success. It is hoped that Howard will catch the spirit of this modern idea of conducting athletics, which will be of great benefit. This system applies not only to football but to basketball, baseball, and to track activities as well.

The Sn fTragist Parade

Mrs. Weed of New York and Mrs. Howe of Washington, both prominent suffragists, extended a very cordial invitation to the young women of the University to enter the suffrage parade which was to beheld on Monday, December the sixth. Tlie purpose of the parade was to arouse interest in the Susan B. Anthony Amendment which grants suffrage to citizens of the United States regardless of sex, and also to present a peti­tion of fivp hundred thousand sig­natures to Congress and to the President for this Aamendment. Nineteen of the University girls marched in the parade.

From Stanton Square the pa- raders marched to the capital where their petition was present ed by Mrs. Bard Lold and Miss Joliffe of California to Senator Sutherland of Utali and Repre­sentative Mondell of Wyoming, who will introduce the amend­ment in the Senate and House re­spectively7. From the capital the line moved down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. There three hundred delegates among them one of the University young women were admitted to an interview, with the president in the East Room. Miss Joliffe and Mrs. Bard Lold presented the petition to the president and urged him to mention the suf­frage amendment in his message to Congress. President Wilson replied that it was too late for him to mention woman suffrage in his message, but that he would be glad to confer with his colleagues at the other end of the city about the matter.

The young women of the Uni­versity were glad of the privlege to be in the parade because it represents the yearning of en­lightened womanhood for recog­nition, because it is a forward step in the progress of democ­racy.

Kappa Sigma and Alpha Plii Hold Joint Meeting

Facts Brought Out .

At the joint meeting of the Al- I plia Phi Literary Society and Kap- jya Sigma Debating Society on Friday evening, December 3,1915, the question for discussion was , Resolved, That the Present System o f Conducting Intercollegiate Ath­letics .at Howard University is a Failure.

The direct cause for such a dis­cussion was the general dissatis­faction of the student body with the athletic situation as a whole at the University. A contributing cause was the recent defeat of our team in the Thanksgiving Day game at Hampton. From the discussion it was agreed that

the present system of conduct­ing intercollegiate athletics at Howard is a failure for the fol- ; lowing reasons: *

1. Bad financial management. jThe crying need of the Associ­

ation is for a more sound business judgment in the managemento'f its finances. We have practicallya definite income from year to year. Until we adopt a budget system in accord with our in­come and stick to the same we shall continue to face a deficit at the end of each season; e. g-, it is now reported that w.e are near­ly $2.00 in debt and to date we have finished only one sport.

2. Lack of care in handling the Association’s athletic equipment.

On any day in the year one may get an accurate insight into the method of handling the athletic equipment by visiting the base­ment of Clark Hall. Such a visit would be an eye-opener to those who are paying an athletic tax of $1.00 per year for the general support of athletics. The meth­od of handling athletic equip­ment is a disgrace to the Univer­sity.

3. Lack of a democratic spirit in the organization of the teams.

Men maintain that they go on the field to try for places and are actually discouraged by the older men.

4. Lack of a system for develop­ing “ green men.”

We lack “ feeders” for our ’var­sity teams.

There is no effort worthy of . mention to develop men either through interclass or interde­partmental competition.. 5. Lack of a virile Athletic As­

sociation.6. Lack of any procedure what­

ever in the proceedings of the council.

Our rep resentatives to tbe coun - cil when asked how matters were decided in the council were at a loss for an answer. The council has no definite manner of

determining at any moment its financial status.

7. Lack of any genuine Howard spirit.

Howard spirit is a misnomer. Except in isolated cases it does not exist. A small body of stu­dents has spasmodic outbursts of noise for class, fraternity or de­partment, but of University spirit there is little.
