o HOWARD T0 BEGH 6TH SCADOLYEA Classes Open September 24 in_Its Nine Schools and Colleges. Howard University, Washington's Government-subsidized center of Negro learning and culture, will be- gin its sixty-eighth year September 24, when classes will be open in its nine schools angl colleges. ‘The physical plant of Howard is an elaborate one. It includes 26 buildings estimated to be worth some four million dollars, exclusive of fur- niture, laboratory and special equip- ment. Many Changes in 3 Years. The university has undergone many changes under the administration of President Mordecaj W. Johnson dur- ing the last few years. New buildings iniclude three dormitories for women, erected and equipped at a cost of $770,000. One of the principal struc- tures is Frederick Douglass Memorial Hall, a class room building which was dedicated July 30 by Chancellor Harry Woodburn Chase of New York Uni- versity. In course of construction now is a new chemistry building which, when completed and equipped, will have cost about $626,000. It is hoped the building will be ready for occupancy at the opening of the Fall term. Shortly thereafter it will be dedicated. A heat, light and power plant also is being built at this time. Costing in the neighborhood of half a million dollars, it will furnish heat, light and electric power not only for Howard University but also for Freemen's Hospital. During the past two or three years extensive improvements have been made to beautify the campus, and concrete tunnels have been con- structed in connection with the new power service. 9 Divisions in University. The nine divisions of the univer- sity are the Graduate School, the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Engineering and Architecture, the School of Music, the School of Re- ligion, the Law School, the College of Medicine, the College of Dentistry and the College of Pharmacy. Normal enrollment for the entire university is in the neighborhood of 2,600 students, drawn from all sec- tions of the United States and 17 foreign countries. About 60 per cent of the student body is composed of men, and 40 per cent of women. DISTRICT WILL GET NEW HIGH SCHOOLS; EASE CONGESTION (Continued From First Page.) laboratories and a greenhouse.
