President Woods go into the class
rooms and listen to it's teachers, study
their ability and earnest zeal.
A distinguished scholar Of the other
races paid this school visit not SO
long ago, and declared that some of
the instructions he heard in the class
rooms were in advance Of all text
books thus far published, which made
this teacher an authority on the sub
ject which he taught.
And as to the opportunity given such
professors to develop great courses OF
study contribute towards the develop
ment of great schools of thought and
learning and inspire young men and
women of the race to walk with the i'm
mortals, it has no equal in all the
country And about such young people
who from day to day look into the
faces of those learned instructors OF
the race, breathe their spirit and drink
their love they soon begin to feel that
my limits are within me and my
bounds are set by God alone.
Now scribes of history and arbiters

in our dash to the immortal heights.
