institution, it should be the aim of the
president to give positions as instruc-
tors in the university to capable colored
men and women preferably when they
are found to possess the required quail
ficstions, and this should be done there
all the more willingly since it is we'll
known that capable colored applicants
are so uniformly Disseminated against
on account of their color in nearly all
the intellectual Industries controlled by
the other race. But on this point the
present president is certainly open to
the charge of a most fsgrant abuse of
his power. Within the last three years
Out of nine important appointments at
the university, only two Of the ap-
pointees are colored persons, al d one OF
these was given aminor position. The
seven other appointees, namely, Miss
Barker, Miss Rugg, Miss Moore, Miss
Johnson, Miss Rankin, Mr.. Stafford and
Mr.. Hay, are all white, and none Of
them holds a position that could not
have been filled over and over again
by colored applicants with equal INTEL
lectual equipment and a higher claim
for consideration.
The placing of Miss Flora Johnson, a
young white girl, in position of libra

ored women for the position and had
utterly failed to make even respect
able rating in the contest, was species
of'unmitigated tyranny without reason
or excuse, Miss Baker, the young col
ored woman who made the highest
mark in the examination was off cially
informed that, while her rating Vas
the highest in the competition, she,
with the others, lacked library exper.

er intellectual pursuits. Its privilege
and emoluments were intended mainly
for the colored race. This is not only
the spirit and purpose OF its origin but
it is equally the reason for its main
tenance, and the president of such an
institution should be in thorough sym
pathy with Its aims and purposes. In
accepting it's presidency, he should be
willing to subordinate his per )onal pre-
iudices, and even his personal prefer
ences, to the one purpose Of maintain
ing the spirit of the institution in its
attitude Of healpfulness to the colcred
race. If It's doors are open for the train
ing of Negro educators, they should be
equally open to the employment OF
Noero educators. This, in the nature
of present conditions, cannot be ex-
pected of the hundreds of white insti-
tutions of learning where colored stu
dents are admitted. but Howard Uni
yersity is essentially Negro university
and was primarily intended to furnish
q snhers of action wherein the Negro
could be free to work out his highesl

and instructor.

That he has succeeded Is only nee

because 1t Is by all odds the best.
AT the recent live stock show at Chi
