4oevrd Professor Writes of Universitys Development

johnson is the incumbent president,
the first Negro to hold that post.
The history of Howard University
is divided into four periods by Prof.
Dyson: A period Of military control
by the Army. from 1866 to 1874; a
period of anarchy" from 1874 to
1877, as a reaction to the strict mill
tary control of Gen. Howard; q
third or middle period which saw
power pass to the deans OF the
various schools and colleges, and q
modern period, beginning in 1926
with the coming Of DR.. johnson to
the presidency, during which con-
troll passed from the deans and ad-
ministrative ohicers TO the faculty.
Prof. Dyson, who joined the faculty
as q teacher Of history in 1905, was
a part Of the middle and modern
periods, and 50 can write from per-
sonal knowledge as well as record.
He regards the faculty control as
more democratic"
Prof. Dyson took an A. B. degree
from Fisk University In 1908, an
other A. B. from Yale In 1905 and q
master Of arts degree from the Uni
versity Of Chicago In 1918. He also
has studied at the University Of

for the writer, or has had greater
influence on the development Of our
literature, than the American from

This was true from the beginning OF

early 18th century that the creation
of a national literature which could
be called wholly American was be-
gun.
James Fenimore Cooper recog-
nized the adventurous excitement
inherent In the settling Of a great
new land and used it in the first at
tempt at an American epic, the
Leatherstocking Tales, the best OF
which, THE Last Of the Mohicans, u

Parkman, the most distinguished OF
American literary historians, tells
the story Of the overland trek with
its accompaniment OF Indian fights,

A different type. of pioneering, q

In November, 1865, the Missionary
Society of the First Congregational
Church of Washington decided to
establish q school for the thousands
Of freedmen pouring into the Capital
from the South after the Civil War.
But on May l. 1867, Howard Univer-
sity opened classes in its normal
school with four white girls-as an
experiment in cosmopolitan educa-
ton.
It is the birth and growth of this
university, named for Civil War
Gen. Oliver Otis Howard, q trustee
and third president of the insti-
tuition which he helped to found,
that are chronicled by Prof. Dyson
in the more than 500 pages Of his
history. In tremendous detail, he
pictures the development of the uni
versity. as the "capstone Of Negro
education" His book Is intended
as q souvenir Of the 18th anniversary
Of congressional approval of the in
stitution's charter next March 2. He
is the university's professor Of his

of the experiment in cosmopolitan

typif1es the spirit of q united and
expanding country. Its vigorous
verse, with its abounding faith In
the future Of America, has been de-
scribed as "a vast carol Of our own
land" and is a spiritual embodiment
of the individualism and the self
confidence Of the pioneer.
In our own day, the frontier still
offers material for literature Of vari-
GUS types. Hamlin Garland, in his
"Son Of the Middle Border" tells Of
a boyhood in the West, Of constant
moves, Of hardships and failures
caused by the lack Of free land. Carl
Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln: the
Prairie Years." Is q beautifully writ
ten account Of the early life Of the

Edna Ferber has used Oklahoma

for her novel "Cimarron," and Villa

neer spirit still enduring through
untold hardships to make the best

Lonely Parade
By Fanny Hurst. Harper G.
Bros, Ne1D York.

IN this novel Miss Hurst under
takes to present a study of Amer
ican women in the early years Of the
century, when womankind was
emerging from Victorian "femin-
unity" into q somewhat more normal
humanity. It was the period when
the phrase bachelor girl" was new
and endowed with interesting am
biguity. Miss Hurst takes for her
demonstration three women "a
theatrical producer, an interior dec
orator and q social worker-who set
up q home together in New York
and, through the charm Of their
establishment and the strength Of
their personalities, become ia
nous Manhattan institution. What
she tells US of the inside of their
lives, however, is that, though ma
terially successful, these three
women consider themselves failures
because they live without love.
To the best of the reviewers un-
derstanding, the novel resolves itself
into two disconnected parts. There
Is great plethora of physical scene
setting of a violent and grotesque
sort, and there is a minimum of
weepy story. The three heroines are
shown alternately as charming, fas-
cinating and conquering the
worlds most hard-boiled city by
their intelligence, great-heartedness
and rlanor and then as taking
down their hair in their boudoirs
and lamenting the absence of ro-
nance from their lives. In the read
er's mind, the question naturally
comes up as to why, if they felt that
way, they did not do something
about it, but to this Miss Hurst offers
only the reply that no man ever
cared for them. They were too bril-
liant, in her Interpretation. Men,
she estimates, care only for the
stupid. NC. r.

TopioIo's Brave Regiment
By Robert Nathan. Alfred A
Knonf Mem York.


Tapiola, the little Yorkshire ter
rier who lives in Mrs. Peppet's
apartment In New York and who
engaged Mr.. Nathan's attention IN
an earlier book, had a bad dream.
He thought the world was overrun
by aurochs His friends told him
next morning that he had simply
eaten too much supper. He knew.
however, that his dream was a
portent. Bad times, he felt, were
coming; the freedom Of the land
was endangered. So Tapiola, who
was no larger than small spring
chicken" and wore a ribbon in his
curls, set about to do his duty in
freedoms defense. He raised
regiment and went forth to meet
the foe and give 1t battle to the
death.
This regiment consisted of his
friend Richard. the canary, who
lived in the apartment under
Tapiola's; Henry the pigeon, who
lived on north buttress of st. Pat
rat, and Micah, who was Jeremiah's s
grandson. It eventually acquired,
too, a camp follower by the name
Of Amy, who was a mouse.
The brave band went forth into
Central Park and took up its stand
behind the museum to await the
foe. When the lions roared and
the seals barked over in the zoo
the defenders knew that the enemy
was near and were terrified of
sounds so large and ferocious. But
they did not flee. They were re-
solved to die for freedom.
Then one day an advance patrol,
consisting Of Henry and Micah, en-
countered a honey bear who had
gotten out Of his cage. At once
they recognized freedoms enemy
aand rushed to the attack. And
by the time reinforcements. con-
sisting Of jeremiah and Tapiola,
had come up, the battle was over.
The honey bear had wandered of !;
Micah had a mortal wound. They
buried him with military honors
and Tapiola stated sorrowfully, I'VE
have lost the flower of our youth,
to which Richard replied, with an
exasperated expression, What else
did you expect?'"
After that Tapiola's brave regi-
ment disbanded and went home,
for the war was over. But none
of the survivors could see that any
thing had been changed in any way.
1t is as nice a little satire on the
folly of wars-and all human pre-
tence-as anybody would want to
find. And when Mr.. Nathan writes
a book which does not make this
hardened reviewer cry, it will be
something that has never hap
pened yet. NC. r.
