LINCOLN INS RAPIDLY P Under the Presid Richardson Enr creased---New Needed to LINCOLN INSTITUTE IS RAPIDLY PROGRESSING Under the Presidency of Prof. C. Richardson Enrollment Has Increased---New Dormitory Is Needed to House Boys Mr. Richardson is a Virginian by birth. He was born in Halifax County, in 1878, where for a number of years he tilled tobacco and attended the White Oak Grove country school. While still a lad he went to Massachusetts to seek work, and to further his education. After spending some years in Winchester, Mass., where he worked as a tanner and a farmer, Mr. Richardson entered Mount Hernon, the Boy's School of Dwight L. Moody. "I was a prep of preps," says Prof. Richardson, "for what little book knowledge I had picked up back there in Virginia had been lost or supplanted by the rapid change of surroundings." From Mount Hermon Mr. Richardson entered Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, but changed to Harvard after three years. He was graduated from Harvard in 1907. Thoughout his career Prof. Richardson leonned toward English studies. He recalls for you with a genial smile, one or two thrilling debates he took part in back there in the boyhood days in Hallifax, where he argued that women should not vote and that the wheel-barrow was more essential to the farmer than the ox. He was A. M. H. PROF. CLEMENT RICHARDSON one of the editors of his preparatory school paper, the reader for the Mt. Hermon glee club. President of the Pierien Literary Society of that Institution and frequent winner of prizes in both oratory and declamation throughout his school course. The same kind of work was kept up at college, where he preferred to pursue extra courses in literature to taking extensive part in college activities. On finishing college, Mr. Richardson did some work for the Boston Daily Globe and corresponded for several Colored papers. In the fall of 1907 he filled the temporary vacancy made in Moorehouse college, Atlanta, Ga. by the absence of Prof. Drawley, In 1908 Prof. Richardson accepted work as teacher of English in last nine years he has been head of the English Department. At Tukegee Institute, Professor Richardson was kept in close touch with all the students and teachers. He is a man of action, as well as one who likes to dally with his pen. He is responsible for all public speaking at the famous Booker T. Washington school. During the year he staged in dramatic form a Halloween and a Thanksgiving exercise for the Senior Class, a drama for the teachers and one for the senior class. One year he put on the Morchant of Venice for the teachers and actors and Mid-Summer Night's Dream for the Students. He staged once a year an exercise for the African students, to raise funds to support a Tuskegee chapel in Liberia, Christmas, 1916. Mr. Richardson established at Tuskegee the community Christmas tree, bringing joy to some three or four hundred students who otherwise would have had no pleasant reminder of the season. For the last few years Mr. Rich- Having Rested f No 22 ardson has taken enthusiastic interest in rural education. He makes many trips into the country with the agent of the Tuskegee Extension Department, making addresses to the people and writing about them for the papers and magazines on his return. During all these years Mr. Richardson has been a frequent contributor to magazines and daily papers, having written for the Country Gentleman, American Magazine, Independent Survey, Southern Workman, and in daily and weekly papers. He was often with Dr. Booker T. Washington, on the latter's tours, as a writer for papers and magazines. He is the author of several booklets and pamphlets of note. In June 1918 Mr. Richardson was chosen by the Board of Regents of Missouri as President of Lincoln Institute, and he assumed office at once. If there is anything in the expression "First impression the lasting one" Mr. Richardson will hold the good will of his new teachers and the citizens of the town, for they have given him a hearty welcome during his few months of Presidency. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person, but the details are not clear. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. Prof. Richardson was married Sept. 1, 1908, to Miss Ida J. Rivers of Meridian, Miss. There are four daughters in the Richardson home; Louise Elizabeth, Ida Mae, Clementine and Evelyn Adole. All except the last named are in school. The State of Missouri and the students of Lincoln Institute are fortunate in securing such a splendid, broad-minded man as Professor Richardson as president of the Institute, and there is not a doubt but that under his supervision the Institute will rapidly show great improvement and growth. Indeed there are already signs to verify this prediction, for as early as this date there is a sad need of more dormitory room for the boys. The old building no longer will answer the requirements imposed by the steady increase in the enrollment. Missouri needs the Lincoln Institute, and a bigger and powerful Lincoln—the man who can guide her to the heights and anchor there is at the present time handicapped by the lack of a dormitory to house the young manhood seeking to profit by the wonderful educational advantages offered by this soot of knowledge. Governor Gardener, of Missouri the pride of the state, and the best Governor the state can boast of ever having is always ready and willing to do all in his power to promote the best interests of the state and nation, will, if shown the necessity and importance of such building, be prevailed upon to exert his influence in securing a dormitory for boys at the Lincoln Institute. Will Missouri keep the light of education turned down? Will the greatest Governor that Missouri can boast stand in the way of the seekers after knowledge; that they may become intelligent, honest, law-abiding and respected citizens, thereby helping it TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 28. 1920 PORO COLLEGE PRIDE OF RACE PORO COLLEGE PRIDE OF RACE Great Institution Dedicated to Betterment of Darker Race and Helping Colored Youth Never in the history of the A. M. E. General Conference has that body and its great host of visitors been so royally entertained as on Wednesday afternoon and evening during their session in St. Louis, when Poro college, an institution established and built by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, threw open their doors to that vast throng. A large canopy hung over the street entrance under which hundreds of visitors passed and wended their way thru the mammoth building and stood amazed as they gazed upon a wilderness of flowers, potted plants, and artistically arranged flora pennants, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Malone, assisted by friends, received the visitors and presented each with a handsome bouquet. The Malones were indeed happy, and their faces showed that they were joyful to receive members of their race in such style and splendor. It was the most spectacular scene ever witnessed among people of the race, who had come from all sections and climes, and who had heard of Poro college and the Malones, and longed to meet and greet them. Mrs. Malone was perfectly at home in receiving the visitors who stormed the place in twos, fours and crowds, and declared that God was with her, that her prayer to be able to assist in the uplift of her race had been answered, and that her heart was filled to overflowing with joy. It was a glorious day, one that will never be forgotten, and the hundreds of men and women who enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Malone are now at their homes reciting the joys of a day at Poro college to all with whom they converse. Poro college is one of the finest buildings in the United States, and the most gigantic and successful enterprise ever launched by race people and its growth and phenominal success is due entirely to the efforts and never ceasing labors of Mr. and Mrs. Malone. They have done and are doing more for race advancement than all other institutions and agencies combined. They have proven to the world that colored people can successfully manage big business and are recognized for their fine ability by the captains of industry. Mr. Malone has just returned from a visit to Cuba, where he enjoyed a deserving and well earned rest. He looks the picture of health, and goes about his work with the snap and tim of a youth of sixteen years. The rest has given him new life, being a man who knows not the words, "I'll do thus and so I 'er on." he was almost completely worked down when he decided to book rest in Cuba, where he would be too far from the business so tenderly nursed by him to "middle in." The secret of his wonderful success is "do a thing now—don't wait until tomorrow." He sojourned six months in Cuba. Mrs. Malone has proven a blessing to young girls of the race and never eide-steps an opportunity to extend a helping hand and give them a opportunity to make good. She has placed hundreds in position to successfully meet and combat the sterner duties to obtain a foothold in this land of greed, oppression and prejudice, and has numerous others in training at a handsome wage. As an example, Mrs. Malone took Miss Mattie Beasley, of Pittsburg, Kansas, a struggling, ambitious young lady who by her own efforts had completed her education at the Normal in that city and gave her the benefit of every advantage, and the young lady made good. Today she is one of the head clerks in this large institution, and all Kansas points to Miss Beasley with a finger of pride and at the same time praises Mrs. Malone.

Let every Colored citizen of the state of Missouri do all they can to secure the necessary improvements for this worthy institute.

Dr. Williams developed his subject from the beginning of man stating that true success can only be measured when man has been correctly appraised and evaluated." He emphasized forcibly the nobility of man and the purpose and destiny of his life. In doing this he reviewed the several scientific theories for the evolution of man, and stating that he did not question the truth of any of the theories but that the scientist had not carried his explanation for many projects for the advancement of their alma mater were discussed, the remainder of the evening was spent in the gymnasium entertaining undergraduates, teachers and friends of the Institute. Graduation Exercises The graduation exercises which were held Tuesday evening May 25th at the City Auditorium were probably the greatest in the history of the school. Many messages of commendation from both white and Colored prominent people have since been received by Principal G. R. Bridgforth. The "Daily Activities" in which the students actually at work at their various trades upon the platform drew special attention. Girls Give Physical Culture Exhibitlin On Saturday May 22, the young women's physical culture class gave an out-door demonstration which held the interest of a large group of spectators for two hours. Their exhibition consisted of dumb-bell exercise, Indian club swinging, wane drill, rose drill and folk dances. The weather was ideal and the many persons who witnessed the exhibition were well paid for their attendance. First Declaration Content The first declamation contest which is to be conducted by the Literary Societies of the Institute was held Saturday evening in the school Chapel. The chapel was crowded and the declamations were excellent. There were six students participating Mr. Joseph L. Johnson of the Institute faculty presided and Professor S. G. Watkins, Attorney James H. JOHN H. HARRIS ATTORNEY ELISHA SCOTT Brilliant Young Attorney who Introduced Governor Henry J. Allon recently at the Commencement Exercises of the K. I and E. I.

The second prize was awarded to Hattle Brister, a special student for her delivery of Henry Watterson's Oration, "The Secret of Lincoln's Power." Professor Watkins acting as chairman of the judges complimented all of the speakers and stated that the contest was so close that the judges had difficulty in reaching a decision. Martha Hunter and Mora Dee Dailey both special students, Chauncey Harold Barlett of the Junior class and Margaret Everett of the Freshman class wore the other contestants. Tnoska Heara Great Preacher Rev. S. B. J. Watson, of the Shiloh Baptist Church presented the commencement preacher on Sunday May 23 at the City Auditorium, Rev Watson stated that he citizens and especially the church people of the city of Topeka were indeed indebted to The Institute for bringing such a man as the Rev. L. K. Williams of Chicago to preach in Topeka. Dr. Williams has been in the ministry for twenty years. He began his work in Bryant, Texas and is now pastor of Olivet Baptist Church of Chicago. When he came to Olivet Baptist Church in 1916 the membership of the church was three thousand. Since that time the membership has increased to ten thousand. The Church property is valued at more than a quarter million dollars. Dr. Williams was educated at Bishop College, The University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania. He holds a degree of Doctor of Divinity, is President of the State Baptist Convention of Illinois, chairman of the National Baptist Budget Commission, member of the Inter-Racial Commission of Illinois, a commission recently established by Governor Lowden, consisting of six Colored and six white members. His record speaks well of the splendid service he is rendering to his country and to his race. An audience of over a thousand people board Dr. Williams preach a wonderful sermon to the graduating class of The Kansas' Industrial and Educational Institute. His subject was "True Success." The text which he chosen was taken from 2 Timothy 3:7, "Ever Learning." "Learn to do Well." Dr. Williams developed his subject from the beginning of man stating that 'true success can only be measured when man has been correctly appraised and evaluated." He emphasized forcibly the nobility of man and the purpose and destiny of his life. In doing this he reviewed the several scientific theories for the evolution of man, and stating that he did not question the truth of any of the theories but that the scientist had not carried his explanation far enough to give man all that he justly deserves. What is man? thundered the preacher. "He is God's Revelation, endowed with power and dominion. His ancestry traces to God. He is created in the image of and just lower than God. He is an intellectual, learning animal. He is a being with moral, his highest prerogative being "I will do right." He is a being with relations. The theory that man is of the earth and earthly only dwarfs and debases him. It exalts wrong standards and invites self contempt, living only for low animal pleasure." declared Dr. Williams. With all the scientific theories, he added "man in addition is of a divine origin. This theory shows man to be no commonplace being. It quickens his ambition, inspires his confidence and stimulates helpful achievements. It also promotes fellowship 100 PROF, GEO, R, BRIDGEFORTH President Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute. and self consciousness without self conceit. It makes him inquisitive, studious, inventive and adventurous." "The great mission of man is to develop character and to serve his fellow man," said Dr. Williams in discussing the mission and destiny of man. "The possibilities of man are unlimited." "You young men and young women of the graduating class must ever be conscious of the fact that you are something, you are somebody. You are like other members of the human family, of divine origin, made in the image of God." "When the proper appraisal and evaluation has been placed upon man the life of man cannot be held so cheap, its opportunities cannot be so curbed as they now are for many groups of men. The rights and duties of man will be equal and the human family one brotherhood," concluded the preacher from a clear chain of reasoning. In closing his sermon he instructed the graduates of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute in a very clear and impressive manner, to continue in their education and building of characater and to go into the world serving their fellowmen. The message was indeed a great inspiration to the young men and women of the Institute and a commencement sermon which cannot soon be forgotten by those who had the good fortune to hear it. Alumpl Day At Institute. Alumni Day At Institute. Monday's festivities found the commencement enthusiasm still running high when many alumni and friends of the institute crowded the campus in the afternoon to see the young men in military drill, games and field sports. The spectators impressed one as being a group of enthusiastic fans at a base ball game. They seemed never to tire as they cheered and yelled for their favorites as they strung for supremacy in their games, races and other field sports. Lieutenant Cleo L. Abbott of the U. S. Army Reserve Corps, formerly with the 92nd division in service over seas, is commandant at the Institute and was in charge of the exhibition. In the opening the senior class had their class day exercises and instructive. After the senior class had completed their program the Alumni took charge of affairs. An alumni meeting was held in the chapel at which all classes since 1803 were represented. After their business meeting, at which Price $1.50 Per Year many projects for the advancement of their alma mater were discussed, the remainder of the evening was spent in the gymnasium entertaining undergraduates, teachers and friends of the Institute. Graduation Exercises The graduation exercises which were held Tuesday evening May 25th at the City Auditorium were probably the greatest in the history of the school. Many messages of commendation from both white and Colored prominent people have since been received by Principal G. R. Bridgesforth. The "Daily Activities" in which the students actually at work at their various trades upon the platform drew special commendation from all. For about ten minutes the auditorium was filled with the ringing of the blacksmith's anvil as the boys pounded the red hot iron, the humming of the dressmakers' and tailors' sewing machines, the tinkling of dishes as the domestic science students prepared and served a meal, the thumping of the electric machines as the laundress converted soiled clothes to clean ones and the clicking of the typewriters and adding machines as the students of the Business Division did their work. Only the eye could detect the student of the Academic Division as he solved his problem in geometry because the screeching of his chalk had been drowned by the noise and clamor of the other students. This feature of the program was designed to give the public even a small idea of the work of the school from day to day. The exhibits of these different divisions of the school which showed some of the things which had been done during the year were exceptionally good. The Salutatorian of the Class, Miss Sadie Ione Anderson spoke upon the subject of "Sensible Dress and Its Relation to Health." Miss Rubetta Winona Sanders, the class Valedictorian spoke upon "The Death-Rate Among Negroes, and How to Reduce It." Other members of the graduating class spoke upon subjects touching upon their trades. The Class President Mr. Lee Earl Payne spoke upon "The Operation of A Sanitary Tailor Shop," Mr. Cordora Frederick, of the carpentry department spoke upon "The Negro Artisan's Contribution to Health." Nurse Training was represented by Miss Leaitha Vivian Montgomery whose subject was, "The Need of Nurse Training for Colored Girls." The school chorus and band under the direction of Miss Cora L. Boulder, Head of the Music Division and Mr. Luther P. Jackson, Head of the Academic Division furnished excellent music for all of the commencement exercises. Attorney Frederick C. Holm, of Wichita, Kansas was scheduled to deliver the Alumni address but due to the death of one of his children, the day before, he was unable to be present. Gov. Allen Addresses Graduating Class. The speaker of the evening, the governor of the state was presented by Attorney Elisha Scott, an Alumnus of the Institute. In presenting the Gov. Mr. Scott made quite a fluent address. He expressed himself as being especially honored and even proud to present the speaker of the evening because he was not only presenting the greatest Governor of the greatest state in the greatest country of the world, but he was presenting the next President of the United States. Upon this the audience burst into applause. "His excellence, Henry J. Allen, is the one man above all others capable of leading the people of the United States and I am going to Chicago in June to see that he is nominated on the Republican ticket," said Mr. Scott and again the audience applauded. "Governor Allen," he said, "is not a friend to any one group or few groups of people, but is a friend to all people regardless of their station in life, race or creed. He is the friend of the laboring man as well as the capitalist; he is the friend of the black man as well as to the white man." Mr. Scott recited a few of the works of Governor Allen in serving the people beginning with his service to the soldiers in the war zone of Europe. Among the things which mark him as the capable leader of the nation Mr. Scott mentioned many statutes which he had caused to be written in the "Statute Books" of Kansas. "The laboring people are fighting Governor Allen's Industrial Court Law because they do not understand it. They have been given false interpretations of it and of its intent," said Attorney Scott. He mentioned also several examples of the Governor's fairness to Colored people as well as to white people and appealed to the Governor for an expression of the same courage in the administration of justice to the black man when he shall have become President of the United States. "The exhibition which you see upon this platform tonight is proof that the black man can make good in any field in which he is given an opportunity" said Scott as he turned and faced the Governor, Af.

AN OPENING IN BUSINESS Mr. and Mrs. Colored Man and Woman: You work and save to send your boy and girl to school and college, then teach them not to work for a Negro, when you know that the best that they can do is to black boots, wash dishes, cook, scrub floors and custodians, girls can dress old Miss, her child, make her bed, empty her slops, bow and scrape to them, and when you get through you are where you started from, nothing. If you wanted them to be that, you should have let them grow up as they were, and you would have received the best of that money you spent. Jeff's Lunch is a place that never told a business lie, and don't owe any body—a place where you are trained to be useful in the business world. Clipping from the National Restaurant News: Who ever heard, in our country, of a man being trained for the restaurant business? Isn't every restaurant man you know rather a self-made restaurant man? Didn't he just happen to get started in the business and then, through the more or less intelligent application of brain and brawn, learn the details of the business sufficiently to enable him to become a successful manager or a—a—a—well, in a very few cases, just a manager? You are trained in all branches of the business taken step by step until you know the whole game. Why go to college when you can be trained by the best lunch system in the West and be paid while you are learning? Short hours, pleasant working conditions.

President Marquess, the talented master mind of this great Oklahoma institution had made extraordinary preparations for this event and he issued a cordial general invitation to all Colored people and white friends of this institution to be on hand.

Considerable preparation was made in order to render the popular cantata, "Ruth," and it was produced in a highly creditable manner. President Marquess spoke in glowing terms of the large enrollment for this year, and the admirable spirit of co-operation that has existed between the faculty and student body he says "seeing is believing," and urges all to come to Langston and enjoy the hospitality.
