Every man possesses latent powers
which. If used after proper develop
ment, would bring distinction to him
self. his race and, II he be q university
man, his alma mater, Rev. DR.. Arson
Phelps Stokes, canon Of the Washing
ton Cathedral declared at the sixty
second annual commencement Of How
ard University late yesterday.
The study Of history, biography, mod
ern science and personal experiences,
DR.. Stokes said, reveal that man is
capable of developing powers almost
beyond belief" Mans history from the
ape-man Of Java to the cultured in
dividual of today, he continued, proved
that difiiculties overcome by the human
race had been and could be defeated
by individual members of human So
ciety.
Praises Negro Race.
The Canon of Washington Cathedral
commended the accomplishment of the
Negro race In "the two generations
since emancipation, when its literacy
was increased from 10 per cent to IS
per cent" Colored teachers have In
creased numerically, he pointed out,
from 800 to $4,000, the wealth Of COL
ored people from $40, 900 900 to $4,000
100000 and their homes from $4,000
to 100000.
DR.. Stokes urged the Howard grad
yates to remember that, with COM
mencement, their education only had
begun. Their minds, he said, must be
used to develop professional knowledge
and skill: their sympathies must be
kept generous, and the will should be
developed by choice always of the high
er rather than the lower principles.
