one knows, to industrial education, believ-
Ing that to be the solution of the race
problem, but his experience in securing
teachers for his own great institution has
taught him the advantage and the neces-
sity Of higher education for teachers and
preachers, at least because that is the only
way in which the standard of knowledge
and efficiency in school houses and the
pupits of the south can be raised. He con-
cedes that the proper solution of the race
problem Is impossible without an educated
clergy. If the negro Is to be held in the
church the present partially educated gen.
GRAFTON must have educated leaders. He
believes. too. that the morality Of the COL
ored clergy of the south can only be i'm
proved by education.
The Suffrage League Of Boston. which
has denounced his election and asked him
to decline, failed to see that his hearty &C
ceptance of place on the board Of an in
stitution that for forty years has stood for
the higher education of the negro, identi-
fes this great leader with that movement.
In accepting his election Prof. Washington
wrote to President Thirkield: II shall do
my best to strive with you and others to
make Howard University an ideal institu-
ton for the elevation of our race. In my
opinion. by all Of us working heartily and
continuously together we can build up
great negro university of which the whole
country will be proud. Howard University,
as you have often suggested. needs to be
put abreast with the best institutions OF the
kind in the country.
Possessing these views, Prof. Wash
ington was elected trustee of Howard
University, and great good is expected to
come from his services in that capacity,
but a certain faction of the coored race,
particularly in the north, who have re-
scented his opposition to the general higher
education of negroes, will doubtless con-
tinue to critcise the selection and are de-
termned to drive him Off the board If pos
sible Prof. Washington is perfectly able
to take care of himself; the trustees have
absolute confidence in his integrity and
usefulness. and the agitation will do How
ard University more good than harm.
The Beginnings Of Howard.
There are many interesting Incidents in
connection with the origin of Howard Uni
versty. In 1865 the members of the First
Congregational Church of Washington were
using Columbia Law building, on 9Th street,
opposite Judiciary Square, as temporary
place of worship while their present build
ing at the corner of 10th and G streets was
being erected. At a monthly concert on
the night of November II. 1866 the pastor,
the Rev. DR.. c. B. Boynton, spoke upon
the duty of the country. and of the Chris
tan people in particular. toward the freed
men who had recently been emancipated.

gregational church.
Establishment Of the University.
At the Second meeting at Mr.. Brewster's
house. when the committee made it's report,
Henry Wilson, one of the senators from
Massachusetts. and afterward Vice Presi-
dent: Senator Pomeroy of Kansas and
Gen. 0. O. Howard, then superintendent
of the freedmens bureau at Washington,
were present, and those three gentlemen
took a deep interest in the plans from that
hour.
The report recommended the establish
ment of a theological and normal insti-
tute' for the education of colored youth
FOR the ministry and the schools OF the
south, the normal part being suggested by
Senator Pomeroy. At a subsequent meet
ing upon his motion the scope of the school
was enlarged so as to include both sexes
ana all RACES and conditions of men and
women on equal footing. 1t was also de-
cfded, upon motion of Gen. Howard, to
include departments of medicine, law and
agriculture and to establish a preparatory
school IN connection with the institution.
A dozen or more names for the institu-
ton had been proposed, but none of them
seemed to suit the committee until Mr.
Nichols suggested that II be called Howard
University. Gen. Howard. who was pres
emit. objected to the use of his name al
though he expressed his profound apprecia-
ton of the honor. Whereupon Mr. Mich
named in honor of John Howard. the
great English philanthropist. who was cele-
brated for his laborS in behalf of the down.
trodden and oppressed and the poor and
the criminal classes in England. He sug-
gested Jocularly that while the new uni
versity would be called after John Howard,
In respect to the modeSty of one of the
trustees, it would at the same time bear
the name of Oliver Otis Howard, an Amer
lean philanthropist, commissioner of the
freedmens bureau. and who was also the
true friend of the downtrodden and op-
pressed.
Action Of Congress.
Senator Pomeroy drew up the act Of in
corporation, which was introduced tn the
Senate by Henry Wilson and In the House
by Burton c. Cook, representative from
Chicago. who took an active interest in
securing it's passage March 2, 1867
The first meeting of the incorporators was
held the same day at the house of Mr..

appointed, which began at once to take
steps to complete the organization, and

shortly after succeeded by Rev. Byron
