Especial to THE FORUM !

Washington. d. C., March 25.
Plans of definite and far-reaching
nature have been formulated by Dr,
j. Stanley Durkee, the new and pro
gressive president Of Howard Univer
sity, that will establish at the nations
capital truly effective instrumental
ity for the higher education Of the Ne
gro.
A comprehensive program was an
nounced at recent meeting Of the
Board of Trustees and unanimously
adopted by that body, which Is to be
put into execution during the coming
year. Positive steps have been taken
to build on historic Howard Hill q
Greater Howard University ex-
panding and vitalizing the lofty pnr-
pose conceived more than half a cen
tury ago by the immortal Gen. Oliver
O. Howard, to lift the col9red millions
of America to the highest moral and
intellectual plane and TO provide q
permanent agency for the develop
ment of race leaders.

lutionary.'

Durkee to a press representative IN q
recent interview. And it will be all
that--for DR.. Durkee is great big
man, with a big brain, who has ths
courage and capacity to do big things
in big way.

a few months ago, at the insistent cal

recommendation he has made vii

of the Negro people. He is an intens,
believer in tie efficacy Of the higfe

Three new offices are created under
the new system, the necessity for

are Dean og Men. Dean Of Women

self-cxplanatary and their services

life Of the school. The morale oi the

That DR.. ] Stanley Durkee is sim

friend Of humanity, regardless of

not an atom Of race prejudice in his

Ired-hlooded anatomy. This is amply
demonstrated by the whole-souled en-
thusiasm which has characterized his
lahors for the betteIment Of this

come at il tremendous personal sacri-
Ifiee, and By the far-visioned outlook
he Is giving the race III his unflinch
