College shall try to produce young
women Of intellectual and physical
power, and strong fine character.
How shall these ideals be accom-
plished? By acquiring faculty
who shall be teachers and investi-
gators; who shall preserve the arts,
letters, and pure science; who shall
build vocational work only on
sound foundations of mental train
ing and discipline. There must be
a Department of Physical Educa-
ton whose aim shall be the develop
ment of women for women s work,
whether their work lie along the
line of real or vicarious motherhood
whether they have children of their
own, or spend their lives caring
for the children of other women.
There must be recreation which
shall be Of high minded sort; there
must be student organizations
which teach social responsibility.
Above all, there must be suitable
leaders, who shall work with earn
estness and with patience to
achieve those ideals. Such an one
this college has selected for it's
dean. She is a scholar, an investi-
gator, teacher with large exper-
ience of life, wide social expert
ence, and desire to do this work.
With these ideals, with this fac
ulty, with this dean, your college
may look to the future with much
patience and confidence. 1t may
be humble in success, high-hearted
in failure, lifted above the petty
annoyances of every day, and day
after day, because it will be sus-
tanned by a large vision.

This was the theme that thrilled
through the address of Booker t.

Mr.. Washington proved to be one
af the most popular speakers that
have addressed the convention and his
appeal to the Sunday school leaders to
help the negro and to give him a
chance brought repeated applause
from the delegates and visitors who
filled the big hall to overfiowing.
What the black man needs is the
old time religion" said the speaker.
That's the theology l want to take to
my people. The negro is better of
close to the soil and in the South, and
l want to keep him there, if you will
bring the Sunday school to him. Take
the old theology to him, the theology
that says, Thou shalt not STEAL Thou
shalt not KILL Thou shalt not bear
false Witness Thou shalt not commit
adultery.

young negro of what might be called
the diletante class, was heard saying
to newly arrived stranger:
Don't tell any one in Chicago that

To this advice the stranger without
hesitation replied to the effect that he
was proud to be identified with an in
stitution that meant SO much construc-
lively in the life of his race, and that
any one who was conversant with the
needs of the people served by the
school could not be disloyal to it.
The former young man did not nee

lean ideal, is in harmony with move

They offer no helping hand in the So
