HoOVer at Hnwnr/l ~ *?.vf ?T U1 Vt President Herbert Hoover deliver? ed the commencenTent address to graduates of Howard University' at the Commencement n June the 10. ??IHis was -not?only his lirst app.arance at this institution but his-tirs formal address in the colored group1 than any president r.iiuv James . Buchanan. This seeming ignoring ^ -? one-tenth of the American "proper 1 dees not neccessarlly grow out ot I lack, of interest or' sympathy or an j attitude 'of calculuter.! intliff.'jencv and studied neglect, but is in har -w'rdf -bis well known policy <u dealing -with the people as u?vrhrrtr7-1 and not in segments. The Jew, Liu Catholic and the woman might file ^ a similar, ball ..of - complaint against .heir President. v Howard University lias come to. typify the atonement of the Ameh-..can people for their aueienc arftl pivfsent day s:ns against the Negro race. For fifty years Congress- has ? been -voting liberal-grants'-to thry?in stitution as a son.,, of sin offering to appease the national con-cien.e. Hot h Republicans and Democrats have ddptc-d this view as payment in .parhis just due of which he lias been deprived. The South as well as the North ha? agree 1 to adopt.-this stution as a sjep childm>I' the federal gqy^rnmerit. Only here and then is heard a feeble v< ice of dissen' from an occasional die-hard Bourbi.n of the South. There is no human likelihood that .Hotvard* University' will suffer loss of public approval _i antl" support^ unless its. intended beneficiaries should frustrate the na ittg and wrangling \vhi:h make thinational largeness of nop effect. Every President isince Grant has paid this institution the homage ol a visit except Wilsm\ and 11-ariing. The press of ^lat'cnal business. must have caused V\ ilson to break the .precedent,?He-did, however, del-iver a commencement address, at Uamp. ton. The untimely taking off of Harding undoubtedly accounts for his non appearance at this national : Negro institution. Mindful of the. line of precedents, Mr, Hoover, in his address, expressed regrets- that the j press of public business had deprived him of the coveted opportunity of visiting Howard during the past three years of his administration. In his brief address, Mr. Hoover simply brought the greeting of the federal government to Howard University,"-and upheld the justincation * of federal grants for the same reason as sundry of hjpredecessors had done before hi m Mr. Hoover was accompanied by .Mrs. lloover, the seqonH timp that I Tniv.-rsit y has been honored by thp' presence of the lady of ,4thq White House. Listen now to a bit of unknown history. The first publfc grai\j to Howard I'nivsity was securer! . under President Hayes, at a time when both branches of Congress were heavily Democrati.1. It so happened that Dr. W. W. Patton, then- President of Howard University, was a cousin of President Hayes. On the occasion of his visit n fKn TTriivrpr?itvr (w> uhk flppniHnnnl ed by Mrs. Hayes. The President and his wife were dinner guests of President Patton. This Imay have had something to do y/ith the Original federal grant to this Negro institution. /President Patfh'n than lived next to the Honorable John M.
