Daniel Leroy Ferguson, a graduate
Of the West Virginia Collegiate insti-
tute, Of which Professor Byrd Priller-
man is the efficient and popular presi-
dent, entered the agricultural college of
the Ohio State university in the fall of
1912. Within a few weeks thereafter
the director Of physical education be-

consisted Of 1000 students.
In the spring Of 1913 Mr.. Ferguson
came out for the freshman track team
and won all the events IN which he
contested. During his second year at
the university he made place on the
varsity track team. This was the first
time that colored student had been
on the team In this university.
This feat entitled him to membership
In the western conference, thus giving
him the honor of being the first long

cause the National Negro Press asso-

case the plans Of the coach are disar-
ranged he can always count on Fergu-
son to run any distance from one-half
mile to five miles. Critics say this
young man Is one Of the most con-
sistent runners in the western confer
ence.
Mr.. Ferguson Is q self supporting
student. He has worked at one of
the fraternity houses ever since he en-
tered this school and has been able to
realize sufficient amount to defray
all expenses. He has been a great
helper to his fellow students. Many
have found work through his influence.
In 1914 there was organized in this
university the Ohio State Jubilee Sing

after the persistent efforts Of Mr.. Fer
guson to get a representative band of
colored singers for the university. At
present he Is the efficient head of these
singers, president Of the Alpha Phi
Alpha fraternity and a member of the
Varsity Ohio association.
The elimination of Mr.. Ferguson's
college career was reached on Oct. 3,
1915, when he was elected class orator
over one Of the most active and prom
inent seniors on the campus. This is
the first time in the history of the
Ohio State university that this dis

The public awaits in great anxiety

Mr.. Bernard Fits, proprietor of thu

name has been placed on the eligible
list for appointment, and it is expected
that she will soon receive an assign
ment to duty.
Mrs. Fits has always been an ener
getic student and has made good use
Of her opportunities. She is an honor
graduate of the high school and also
took a course of study while in the
west at the State Normal School For
Teacher Training at San Jose, Cal. She

chance to deal Justly by any who may

chance to add her quota Of service to
the making Of good citizenship.
She has been engaged In the printing
business for good many years. 1t
was while In the employ Of the Crystal
Printing company that she became en-
gagged to Mr.. Bernard Fits, proprietor
of the business. whom she afterward

In all good movements for the ad-

be relied upon to do her share. She
takes an active part in organized work
among women and has been secretary

many ways when she takes up her new

Mrs. Fits Is a member Of the st.

active service. Being greatly interest

tributed much to the success of the
Bethel Literary association and also to
the Frederick Douglass center. What
Mrs. Fits has accomplished by diligent
application to duty should be an in
spiration to our young women to make
