On March 2, 1898, Howard Uni
versity celebrated the seventy-first
anniversary of its founding and its
many years of distinguished edu-
cational service. Its history and
traditions are fairly well known
to the general public.
During the school year 1866-67,
with meager resources, a handful
of students and surrounded by an
atmosphere of unfaith in the
Negroes capacity for educational
advancement, Howard University
was launched with the purpose of
providing able teachers and pro
fessional leaders for a distressed
and scattered people.
Today, after II years Of service,
the institution Is a well established
university with more than 2,240
students enrolled in nine under
graduate, graduate and profes-
sional schools and colleges, with
plant and other assets valued
in excess of $8,00O,000. Its 1926
graduates have been at work in
43 States and "a foreign countries.
OF HoWard's 1926 graduates,
1,799 have become physicians and
surgeons, or 40 per cent Of all
Negro physicians and surgeons
now practicing in the United
States; 835 others have become
dentists or so per cent of all Negro
dentists now practicing; 1910
have become lawyers, or 80 per
cent of all lawyers now practic-
ing; 521 have became pharmacists
and 140 have become engineers
, nd architects.
The physical plant includes 26
buildings estimated to be worth
about $6,0OO,O00, exclusive of fur
niture, laboratory and special
equipment. Howard has under
gone many physical changes dur
ing the last II to Is years. Added
new buildings include three dormi-
tories for women. erected and

EXPANDS ROOM
Additional Space for
300 Students

Southeastern University 1885 G
st. N. W, will open its fall term
September 10. prepared to accom-
modate 300 more students than
last year. when more than 1,400
were enrolled in its schools of law
and accountancy.
Last year, DR.. James A. Bell,
president of the University,
pointed out, it was necessary to
close registrations early because
the university was filled to ca
pacity. This year, however, addi-
tional space has been obtained.
Hours Made Convenient
Courses in law and account
ancy are offered at the univer-
sity at hours convenient for both
working men and women and for
full-time students.
In the morning there are classes
In both law and accountancy from
Z to $40 a. m. In the Accountancy
School classes also are held at
$50 p. m. and tbs p. m. All
classes are so arranged that
students may transfer from morn
ing to evening classes or vice versa,
at any time during the semester.
In the School of Law students
may attend classes early in the
morning, at $50 o'clock in the
afternoon, or regular day classes
from $50 a. m. to 1890 p. m, be-
sides the early morning classes. ;,

Instruction is offered in both
day and evening departments. The
fall semester will open on Septem-
Der IS in the evening division
and october 3 in the day division.
Wide Opportunity
Accountancy has developed, both
in scope and in volume Of work,
more rapidly during the last 20
years than has any other impor-
tant calling. Hence, the occupa-
tional opportunities in account
ancy have been, and will continue
to be, exceptionally attractive for
the man or woman who makes ade-
quate preparation for the work.
So far as general education is
concerned, one who aSpireS to be-
come an executive accountant
must have background in gen.
eral education of not less than full
high school work.
SO far as technical education is
concerned, it is necessary for the
aspirant to complete a technical
or professional course in which
the principles and the procedures
Of business organizations, of &C.
counting, Of business law, Of taxa.
tion and of related subjects are
acquired under the direction Of
competent instructors.
U. S. Requires Many
Many thousands of accountants
are required by the Federal Gov
ernment-by the Income Tax
Unit, by the Interstate Commerce
The Washington times., 1938-08-25

Commission, by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, by the Fed
eral Trade Commission, by the
Home Owners Loan Corporation
and by scores of other depart
mentS, divisions, bureaus and com.
missions that are required in the
administration Of the financial
affairs of the Federal Govern
ment. -.
Comparable conditions are found
within each State. In New York,
for example, there is a comptroller
general who is charged with def
mite responsibilities with respect to
the budgeting and control Of the
expenditures of the State. A
great deal of auditing has to be,
done; the bases on which income
tax returns are prepared must be
audited; the accounts of various
State departments, commissions
and institutions must be kept and
audited,

Three-Year Courses

Either the law or accountancy
course may be completed in three
years, with the degrees of bachelor
of law or bachelor of commercial
science being granted upon gradu-
alton.
DR.. Bell pointed out that when
the early morning classes were
started in the Law School 13 years
ago only about a dozen students
attended them. Last year the early
morning classes we're as large as
those held in the late afternoons
and evenings.
The morning classes, it is felt
by the university authorities. have
the special advantage of enabling
students to pursue their studies
while they feel fresh and their
minds are alert.

INSISTING that the man who
comes round to fix your radio set
deserves . more dignified title than
radio service man." group Of eight
leading radio engineers met last month
in Chicago to form the American
Radio Association. They want not
only to secure nomenclature for
their membership more in keeping
with their expertness. but they propose
to attack trade problems that bear d.
rectly upon radio set ownership and
operation.
The time has come, their announce
ment says, when it is necessary to
abandon the term radio service man"
in favor of the term radio service
engineer" Establishing national
headquarters in Chicago, they an
nounced they would fight unfair COM
petition by wholesalers, manufactur-
ers and amateurs and will combat ex-
cessive prices for tubes and parts.
Though not organized as . union,
they want higher prices for service
and generally oppose the present radio
price structure as unsound.

expects to Cooperate with the Federal
Trade Commission, the Federal Com
munlcations Commission and Better
Business Bureaus to improve the lot
OF the radio set owner and at the
same time improve their own condition
