VOL. s W A S H I N G T O N , D. C ., A P R I L 25, 1908 No. 14President Thirkield Lectures Be­fore the School of TheologyT h e second lecture for the year

by President Thirkield before the School of Theology, was given last Thursday, on “ T h e Minor Prophets as the Great Preachers, Moral Reformers and Spiritual Statesmen o f T h e ir T im e s .” He showed that these prophets were alw ays sent with a particular mes­sage; a message for their own times, with predictive elements, and that their claims as preachers and teachers rested on the authori­ty of their divine message. T h eir all important work was not that of mere prediction. T h e predictiveelement is often subordinate. T h e y were “ full of power by the spirit of the L o r d .” T h e y werethe messengers of the living God to living men. T h e y were thepreachers o f righteousness, the soiritual statesmen; the moralguides o f their times. H e showedhow the civilization o f that day was very like our own.

T h e prophet is not so much a “ fore-teller” as a messenger of God to his times—a “ forthteller, ” an interpreter of the things of God to men. T h e y were the teachers o f spiritual religion. Often in . deadly antagonism against thepriestly caste; against the idolatry of mere ritual, they pled for a spiritual religion and against form ­alism. “ I despise your feast d a y s ,” cried Amos. “ Do justly , love mercy, walk humbly with thy G o d ,” saith M icah— setting forth, as he did, m an’s personal, relations in an attitude of justice, his love o f mercy toward his neighbor and his attitude of h u ­mility before God.

T h e y were also foretellers of the

Messiah T h e ir messages were bright with Messianic hope. “ The glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.” T h e ir mission was not 011I3' to an­nounce the M essiah ’s coming, but to prepare the w ay for its realiza­tion among men.

<1Council of Upper ClassmenT h e annual “ P ro m ” given by

the Council o f Upper Classmen was one of the most brilliant functions of the year. Over three hundred alumni, students and friends were present to make the occasion a success. Mr. J . C. Waters, found er and first president of the Coun­cil, was present, enthusiastic over the success. T h e young ladies of the upper classes o f the School of L ibera l Arts came out from Miner H all with Miss Robinson and Mrs. Messer as chaperons. Quite a few young ladies from Boston, N ew Y o rk , and Baltimore were present. How ard penants and flags served to decorate .the hall. Concealed by palms, the L y r ic Or­chestra furnished sweet strains of music. A t a late hour the “ prom- enaders” reluctantly departed for home.

Mr. D avidson ’s classical training seems not h ave diverted his practi­cal geuius from useful channels, while at the same time he has fol­lowed his professional bent to a successful entrance upon his career

as a lawyer. He deserves the praise of his alma mater and her best wishes.

3 « e «Arthur D. Langston DeadT h e news of the death of Prof.

Arthur D. Langston last evening in St. Louis was in the nature of a s e ­vere shock to a large circle of friends of his family in this city. Prof. Langston was the eldest son of the late John M. Langston, who was at one time acting president of Howard University, formerly United States Minister to Haiti, and later a representative in Con­gress from Virginia. He gradu­ated from Oberlin College about thirty years ago, and went to St. Louis, Mo., where he entered the municipal service as teacher in the public schools. At the time of his death he was principal o f one the largest public schools in the city.

Prof. Langston married Miss Ida Napier, the sister of J . C. Napier of Nashville. She and their two sons survive him. The sons, one of whom is a teacher in St. Louis, and the other a bank clerk in Nashville , are graduates of Ober­lin College.

Prof. Langston was in this city last summer during his vacation, and at a reception tendered him by Prof. K e l ly Miller, dean o f the college faculty of Howard U niver­sity, he seemed to be in the best of health.

2 T H E U N I V E R S I T Y J O U R N A L , W A S H I N G T O N , I). C.,The Negro and the Present Cam­paignSom e time ago there appeared 1

in the N ew York A g e a very in— j genuous and suggestive cartoon, j It contained a picture of President j Roosevelt, his head resting on his hand and looking troubled and in ­tently at a spot; in the corner of the cartoon were written the d irec­tions, “ Hold up to the l ig h t .” On holding the picture to the light, there was revealed a. black hand representing the Nogro vote for 190S. At the bottom of the car­toon were written these words, “ Which way will it go?”

I think that everyone who saw the cartoon must h ave been im­pressed with the ingenuity of the of the cartoonist and the weight o f | the question proposed was forth- ! with recognized and acknowledged j

by all. Much had already been said and written on the subject but for all that I doubt that any one felt the terrific weight o f that qnes- tion at the time the cartoon a p ­peared— not excepting the cartoon­ist himself. T od ay with the nom­inating conventions aboui to a s ­semble, with Bryan a sure candi­date for the democrats and with T a ft the overwhelming favorite in the Republican race , we are brought face to face with the issue which gains weight and difficulty with each rising sun, yea ; even with each clock tick. Further­more there has arisen another cir­cumstance which adds to the per­plexity of the question. Th e lea d ­ing Negroes have split their party allegiance. We learn that Mr. DuBois has declared himself for Democrats, Dr. Booker T . W ash ­ington and Hon. W. T . Vernon are out for the administration can­didate, Hon. Joshua Jones and most of the Negroes are for F o r - aker, and the N ew Y ork A ge, some time ago a bitter anti-ad­ministration paper, has in the space of one week switched entire­ly and now is a staunch adminis­tration paper. W e must admit that this sudden change is too

subtle for us.I shall now propose to you the i

the issue as it now confronts* us j and I think it will be well i f you | g ive some thought to the answ er- ! ing of the question. (1) T h e Pop ulist party must be excluded irom j consideration on, account o f their I candidate. (2) T h e Democratic | Party has a lw ays been antagonistic j

I to the Negro, the'* have a lw ays ; insulted him and disregarded his

interests and welfare and their ; great men have gained their fame i by loud and boistrous declamations ! against the Negro. (3) W h atever j ! favor or help the N e gro has gotten i 1 from political parties has come j j from the Republican party but lo!

they* through the administration j have cast upon the race an e v e r - i lasting insult and disgrace— a | rigeteous cause for indignation. Thus the Negro voter is in the i horns of a dilemma. W here can j he turn? T o us it seems that all j the portie= h ave a common cause and the Negro hath not where lo cast his vote.

From the prevailing circumstan­ces I have deduced three questions:

j which w ay will the Negros vote go, i which w ay should it go,and which I w ay can it go ? I h ave but one sug­

gestion on the matter:Let the Negro do all he can to

nominate the right man.Beyond this I can only say: when

the nomination is over let each one. decide what is best to be done and cast his influence and his vote, as becomes a true and patriotic A m e r­ican citizen, for the best man, for the nation as well as for the race.

V . <£The New Era and the FarmTruly this is a scientific age: the

new era is in full bloom and all semblemces of the old are fast fad-, ing like a summer day dying behind a red sun set on the western sky or rather like the linking particles o f darkness scampering aw ay before all pervading rays of the rising sun.

Th e horse doctor o f old has been replace In* the modern -eeie,-----

the medicine man has been routed by the skilled scientific praeticioner, the stage has been supplanted by the locomotive, the candle and the oil himj) have heat a hasty re­treat before the onslaught o f the electric bulb and the arc light and so on where ever we look we find everything bristling with the- pro­ducts o f modern science while all relics of the old regime have re­treated to oblivion or to the curiosity shops. But probably the most striking evolution and r e v ­olution ' of the present is that which is taking place on the farm.

Th ere Old Uncle Jo sh and Aunt Matilda and their young ones are being rapidly replaced by Mr. and Mrs. X and their children, the higliwater jeans and home spun socks are g iv in g way to the well fashioned attire from city shops. But most imortant of ail, the hand plough and the old time method of planting any old thing in any old soil have given w ay to the steam plough and the new method of growing each • thing where condi­tions are being best suited to it. In other words agriculture is now a science and the farmer is a modern man. T h e rise of agricultural col­leges has entirely revolutionized the process o f farming. T h e study of agricultural chemistry has made it possible to know just what things will grow in any certain soil. Modes of fertilization and insect distraction have reclaimed hun­dreds o f abandoned farms and turned them into productive tracts yielding healthy* incomes to the re­claimers whereas the former Occu­pants could not earn a livelyhood. But this is not all the agricultural school is doing for the farm. It is teaching the farm er’s daughter to be a ifSeful woman, to be able to manage affairs in case o f necessity, it .is also teaching her to trim her hats and make her clothes, and it is instruct­ing her in all the arts and crafts that tend to cultivate a worthy and desirable wife and housekeeper—- or, rather, homekeeper.

of business, enabling him to bar­gain intelligently and escape the traps of the city sharper. Indeed, the agricultural school is doing a great work by opening up un­dreamed of opportunities, and has­tening the day when the term “ the independent farm er’ ’ will come to be a positive reality instead of a negative Utopian dream.<s « « «tLibrary Hours

We regret v e ry much that it has become, necessary to cut out the evening library hours. I f there was one thing that was hoped for and needed, it was more time in the l i ­brary. T h e hours that h ave been added, 8 to 9 in the morning and 4 to 5 in the afternoon, are o f very Title value to the students. Keeping the library open from 4 to 5 has been tried and it was found that the attendance between those hours was not more than one or two b e ­cause that is one of the hours for recreation. Probably the students m ay use the library from 8 to 9 in the morning but very many are at work or else are getting ready for school It is unfortunate that the a- buses arising from having the l i ­brary open in the evening could not have been dealt with in a manner

Higher Education the Only Sal­vation for the NegroC h a s . L . ’ C o o p e r , C o l . ' 1 0

When I use the term “ higher education’ ’ I mean ‘education a- right. Education aright m ay be defined as that leading out of an individual which comprehends all that serve to enlighten, correct, and improve the manners and cus­toms o f the people. It means

H he full development of a m an ’s moral nature, the highest and most sacred part of his being. In other words, it means that all the power, mental and physical, shall be controlled and made to act har­moniously with the great moral code. Education does not consist of training the mind without the heart and hands, nor does it lead out the heart and hands without the mind. Such an education would be possible i f the soul were not a unity and the will were an indepen­dent faculty of the mind that could originate actions independent of ideas or thought processes; but the soul is Ja oneness, and the will a functioning of the mind wholy de­pendent upon the ideas posessed by the mind. Therefore from a psychological standpoint it is im­possible to develop one o f these faculties without improving the others.

Education is the basis o f thought which is the ruling element of the world; it is the moulder o f ch a rac­ter without which no people can b e ­come great; it is the purifier of re ligion and the mother of industry. In an ignorant state man is content to know nothing, do nothing, have nothing, and consequently be noth-

! ing. But the man whose every faculty has been aroused is restless

1 when idle and wants to act well his partin all the affairs of life.

History shows that the broadest skill, the most persistent industry,

! and the broadest intelligence are the results o f education aright.

It is idle fo ra neonle nt- this: «>'-

Ogmzmg the principles which have elevated other people and made them great. It was 'the en­lightened mind that planned the route to this western continent into which so many have come to e n ­jo y the rights and privileges o f free men and worship God accor­ding to the dictates of their con­sciences. Long before America was discovered by the European it was inhabited by a people who put great stress on their iudustrial skill but their heads and hearts were not trained and it was im ­possible for them to rise in the scale of civilization. As soon as the enlightened mind came he es­tablished his higher institutions of learuing, his H arvard and Y a le , his William and M ary; and these ever since have been the incen­tive to American thought and institutions. ' H e saw that this could be made a model republic; he saw that here were unlimited resources to be developed; here he established freedom o f speech and advocated liberty and protec­tion to its humblest citizens. In this w ay he began the upward march of a great republic, which now- stands waving her flag com ­manding the respect of the other nations of the world. All this is the product of education a right.

Now I do not believe that the negro is so different from other races that the process by which they are sav*d will be detrimental to him, put I believe that all races are so closely bound with one com - mon tie that what will save ana might safely be considered as the salvation of the other. A s I note the history of our heartless past, mark the stained and poluted con­dition of odr present, and l«ok fow- ard to our future, I can see with a tight education, the ripened blossoms of libertj-, fraternity, and equality, falling into our future paths ot usefulness. As a race vve are just at the commencement of progress. I believe in the next half century we will double our re­ward, because we h ave more k ind­ness nnrl -1—....

It m ay be only emphasizing what every one is fully aware of, but we cannot help commenting on the urgent need of a gymnasium. Throughout the winter months the students in the dormitories get no form o f exerc ise and it is no won­der that 110 small number contract deseases which arise from lack oj exercise and fresh air. T h e health o f a student is fully as important— yes, more so than the intellectual training he m ay get, for i f the body becomes a wreck while the mind is being develloped, “ it - profiteth n oth ing .”

The Nursing- ProfessionThough it seems but yesterday

that the Negro entered into the great struggle for existence, today we find him well represented in nearly every walk of life and suc­ceeding far beyond his wildest dreams. But we find com paratively few women in the nursing profes­sion, a field that seems peculiarly adapted to them. T h e educated young colored nurse is universally accepted and finds ready employ­ment at a wage equal to that of her white sister.

Provident Hospital Train ing .School, Chicago, being affiliated with Northwestern University, one o f the leading medical schools of the country, affords its pupil nurses the best instructors and the best facilities for accomplishing good work. T h e th ree-year course not only prepares one to nurse the sick but it increases a young wom an’s field of usefulness as perhaps no other calling does. F e w women are better prepared or have more avenues open to them for earning a'-good livehood than the proles sional nurse. During the course of training the young woman is fur­nished with both outdoor and in­door uniform, board, room and laundry— she only needing a small sum for other wearing apparel and pin money. Pupils are admitted at any time, but it is preferred that they enter at least three mouths b e ­fore the fall course begins, which is in October.

towards unity and confidence. But let it be remembered that how­ever rapid our progress has been, and how ever rapid it is to be, de­pends on our intelligence and char­acter, and our intelligence and char­acter depend on right education.

I am not discouraged with our present condition, nor am I hope­less of the future. I believe that education aright is the builwark of our civil and political liberty, with­out which in a republic like, this no mau.can be a free man. I believe when we shall have education in its truest sense, we can stand as cit­izens and free men of Am erica and say to the boys and girls of our race, “ T h e avenues of deslinctiou are open to you, and upon your brow may fall the civ ic w reath .’ ’

Upon sholders of the youth of this generation rests the mantle o f grave responsibility. It is left them to prove the sentiment which William Tupper so beautiful}’ , e x ­pressed when he said:

“ F le e c y locks and d ark com plexion, Can not forfeit n atu re ’s claim .Sk ins m ay differ, but affection,D w ells in b lack and w hite the sam e.” In other words, it is left them to

demonstrate to the world that in American mauhood there is no color line, and in matters of citizen­ship there should be absolutely no destinction.

It is fo.'ever argued by such men as Yardam au, Tillman, and D i x ­on, that the education o f the negro means nothing; unless an increase of criminality. But let it be re ­membered that ignorance has never been a steping Stone to virtue and upright living, nor has it been con­sidered as a synonym for industry and economy. L e t it further be known that it is impossible for i g ­norance to dominate over intelli­gence, poverty over wealth, or un- couthness over refinement-

T h e metaphysical sciences tea ch us that every criminal act was at

S

cept and idea. I f this be true, which evidently it is, there can be no crime without the violation of some moral law. Therefore viewed in the light of truth and reason ed ­ucation decreases crimes. Just in proportion as a people rise in the scales of intelligence and virtue, and the more perfectly they under­stand the moral code, individual liberty becomes greater, selfrespect will be higher, and more attention will be given to the rights and priv­ileges of others.

• Education makes a man herioc, patriotic, and hence a better citizen.

I f one is educated aright he loves his country aud will strive to build it up and protect it. T h is means that he will first strive to build up aud protect himself. But i f on the other hand through ignor. ance aud predjudice he is made to believe the country is an enemy to him aud aud that .at all times it seeks to humiliate and degrade and never stands to protect and d e­fend, a feeling of modification o v e r­comes him and it is not strange that he should become dilatory Jin his efforts to m'ake of himself what he should or earless as to the highest welfare and greatest prosperity of his country.

These things cannot be expected however, until we h ave harmoni­ously developed all the faculties of our being. It is then that we shall become potent factors that must be reckoned with in the af­fairs of both the church and the state, and every question affecting the interests of citizens in general. It is then that we can hope to be of invaluable help in the de ve lo p ­ment of this country aud the spread o f Christian civilization. Then when the generations of the future shall gather around their h earth ­stones to tell their children the- cause of A m erica ’s greatness and at what cost she bequeathed the priceless heritage of universal brotherhood, a,slie shall also tell how the negro helped ach ieve this wonderful consummation which shall be the inspiration of their

B y W ay of E x p la nation Th e purpose, meaning and spirit

ofjthe article in the last issue con­cerning the L a w School seem to have been wholly misunderstood. T h e writer by no means intended to Criticise the school and hold any of its deficiencies up before the un­interested and critical public. He oully desired to point out to those in authority a few things that a student noticed and thought impor­tant. These things, each in itseE not, much, were not likely to be noticed by those in authority who are j busy with important matters. T h e writer noticed them and thought that i f those in power should notice them they would change them.' H e used Th e Jour­nal only because lie knew of no other way to reach those whom he djesired to reach. His dearest hope was to help, not to hurt, the L a w School.
