The Administration of Allen University, in spite of unavoidable handi- < caps4n The loss of two Bishops with- =, in *a period of six months, has been phenomenal. During his presidency the following have been accomplished: Increase of the teaching force, reestablishment of the" Domestic "Sctr ence Department, Equipment for the ^ Domestic Science D^pirtmehU"fdLThe amount of several uiousand dollars. ~ A chemical Laboratory and equip- . ment, ru new _and niodern Cafeteria at a cost of $4,000 which has been revenue producing and has simplified to a large extent the problem of discipline. The function of recreation in the College -grogram has been fully realized" and the recreational activities are supervised, noteworthy ajrppng them is the mooving picture entertain- ! ments given every week end, bringing pleasure and'trainnig to th estudents. The apparatus belongs to the institution and is a permanent asset. Coppin and Arnett Halls have had ( hew heating apparatus installed* The < old college chapel was remodeled and j afford comfortable dormitory rooms for the senior women.

The Child's prop- , eriy has been entirely freed from debt. ? ' j But material improvements hifove not been the only contribution in tbU administration. It was ths recommenda ro LEADER ~ tion of the President which led the trustees to adopt the nine month? school year malting it rogular with all standard institutions. Likewise student fellowships were inaguarated and the experiment proved successful. The College eDparmen^ was very small when President f Sjms took charge, not more than. 30. In two years the College has increased to ninety, an increase of almost two hundred percent. The propcots' of another year are even more encouraging. It_ia-ihe College department which gives a schoool its rating. Two Negro women, made Allen University their beneficiaries in their wills and two students are attending Allen on scholarships ^rovidqd by thqtn. These are pepetuaP and help to 'add to the lustre of this- administration. A fine student spirit has been created, the spirit of cooperation. The able sum of money which helped the .reasurer to meet many urgent demands, some of which like legacies, were bequeathed. This has never been_done before in the history of the institution, anil ha* brought?about a new era which will enhance future en^ deavors. =?

Prospects for a new high salaried professor from the General Education Board and several other additional teachers, are very good.
