there have been several additions to the
equipment during the past eight years,
there is still pressing need Of more
room, more funds toward the endow-
ment and money to meet current and
Incidental expenses promptly.
The influence of Wilberforce on the
mental, social and moral welfare of
the colored race, not only Of Ohio, but
Of the whole country is we'll nigh in
calculable. Ten thousand students
have received training at Wilberforce.
Five hundred teachers have gone forth
into every state and into all lands to
uplift the race, many are teachers In
and presidents Of other colleges, some
are professional men and hundreds are
splendid mechanics, due to industrial
training at Wilberforce.
The buildings grouped around the
college campus are artistic and mas
sive and commemorate by name the
noble members of the race who have
contributed so much to the upbuilding
Of Wilberforce-Shorter hall. Mitchell
hall, Arnett hall and others-and in
1900 the fine trades building was com
pleted and named Galloway hall in
honor of DR.. William A. Galloway of
Xenia, who has served as trustee sew
enteen years and to whom perhaps
Wflberforce university owes more than
to any other white citizen Of the state
Above the ornate entrance Of Gallo
way hall, chiseled in the enduring rock,
is this splendid sentiment, "a Sound
Body, q Trained Hand. a Trained Mind
True Heart"
President Scarborough has received
much encouragement from both white
and colored people in his conduct of the
affairs of Wilberforce, and this has en-
abled him to a great work for the In.
stitution. In reply to letter from DR..
Scarborough DR.. Susanna w. Dodds
writes: 81 thank you for your letter
and also the circular. My sympathies
have always been enlisted for Wilber
force and It's prosperity. This for two
reasons. In the first place. the cause
which it represents Is a most deserving
race prejudice which exists In this
country the better it will be for all
concerned, and there Is no way in
which this can be so successfully done
as by education, just such as WILDER.
force is giving.
Another reason for my warm attach.
ment for Wilberforce is that for many
years those who were instrumental In
calling 1t into existence were good
friends Of mine; they had the cause at
heart and worked faithfully for it."
DR.. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of the
Hampton Va.) institute, In a letter to
DR.. Scarborough also speaks highly of
the work. He says: "Wilberforce has
had a long and honorable record and
1t has been a power Of good in the past,
and have reason to hope and believe
that. under your direction, it will do
still greater things in the future. While
I have never had the opportunity to
examine its work. feel sure that 1t Is
deserving of the support of all those
who are interested in the education Of
the colored race. l intend, as oppor-
tunity offers, to visit the institution,
and then i can speak from personal ex
animation Of its worth"
Criticism from sources jealous of the
Institutions progress under DR.. Scar
borough's management does not count
for much In the face Of such warm
words Of good will from men and we
men Of culture and broadmindedness
as are quoted here. President Scarbor-
ough is born leader, an educator, gen.
tleman and scholar Of the first magni
tnde.
