Freedmen's hospital, also govern

one OF the largest. finest, best equipped
and most splendidly managed hospi-
tails in the country. 1t has a colored
man for surgeon-in-chief. Under him
the discipline is admirable, and the re-
suits attained splendid. As head OF
this institution he has secured con-
gressional appropriation far in excess
OF any appropriation ever secured by
any white president for Howard uni
versity. If 1t were possible to secure
SO well equipped colored executive for
Freedmen's hospital it follows that
somewhere there Is a colored man who
can meet all emergencies at Howard.
The social life about any institution
is always an accelerant or a retard-
ence-just as it encompasses or re-
stricts. At Howard there has been an
absence of that social life, emanating
from or gravitating to the presidents
home SO characteristic Of other SINH
| lar institutions. In spite of DR.. Thir-
kield's interest in and zeal for the in
stitution, and in spite of the fact that
he probably has not aimed to socially
exclude and seclude himself and fam
lily. yet the presidents house at How
ard has ever been beautiful isle Of

old been crossed by students, fac
ulty or wives Of faculty members in
a social way. Such condition
could not obtain were the president a
colored man.
Howard university is recognized
everywhere as a colored institution OF
learning. Its faculty, for the most
part, is colored. Many of the trus-
tees are colored men. In few years
Howard has gradually. surely. and
without compulsion changed from an
institution Of learning for all classes
to one for coIored alone. If it is not
time now for the selection of colored
educator as president that time will
never arrive, in the opinion Of those
who cling to the servile mot time" ar
gument If in all these United States
no colored man can be found equipped
| for the presidency Of Howard, then
Howard, and every other colored insti'
tuition has been teaching false theory
and instilling into colored young men
and women a false hope. If white
man Of DR.. Thirkielo>J caliber couId
prove a success as president Of How
ard university, then there are many
colored men who, if given the opportu-
nifty, may be as eminently successful.
There is no intention to disparage DR..

men of our own race.
