nia1 celebration of Howard University.
"Some Of the best things in American

results Of war. many Of them of the civil
war. Howard University is an outcome Of
that conflict and of the self-sacrificial
patriotism Of its leaders. It was founded
by three generals Of the war, Howard,
Whittlesy and Rallock.
Howard University was founded upon
patriotism, but also upon religion and
prayer. Those three generals met in a
prayer meeting to lay plans for estab-
fishing the institution. They had the
unique conception Of education that it
should be based upon character. and that
the supreme element in character is God
Thus Howard University was founded by
God and its later generations of teachers
and students must bark back to these
fundamental principles"
