 ^ ^y^emorial Pilgrimage 
 
 FRESH from the inspiration of training under 
 General Armstrong at Hampton Institute, a young 
 and inconspicuous black man made his initial trip 
 in 1 88 1 into the Black Belt of Alabama to answer the 
 call of service to his race. The man was Booker Talia- 
 ferro Washington; the Alabama town was Tuskegee. 
 This town of Tuskegee, founded early in the century, 
 had become the cultural center of the State. With its 
 great schools for white children and its noble Southern 
 mansions set in a background of evergreen oaks, mag- 
 nolias and cypresses, it was typical of the best in 
 Southern aristocracy. But on the other side of the 
 picture were the Negroes, the lustre of their newly 
 acquired freedom tarnished by the continued hopeless- 
 ness of their lot. For that freedom, which had meant so 
 much to them, actually offered nothing, when they were 
 thrown upon their own resources, to lift them out of the 
 heritage from slave days of poverty and ignorance. 
 
 In this town two men determined at least to modify 
 this paradox of democracy. One was George W. Camp- 
 bell, the leading banker of the town, the other a Negro 
 tinsmith, of the name of Lewis Adams, and their co- 
 operation was representative of the best traditions of the 
 South. Realizing that something should be done to 
 correct the situation, they initiated the idea of a school 
 
 [3] 
 
WHITE HALL, A GIRLS DORMITORY 
 
 A memorial to Moses T. White, one of the earliest and most 
 helpful of Booker Washington's friends, this building was 
 erected, through the generous beneficence of his family, largely 
 by the boys of the school with bricks made by their fellow 
 students. The photograph gives an idea of the gently rolling 
 country in which the school is situated 
 
 for the freedmen, and the following year a modest appro- 
 priation was made by the State Legislature for the 
 furtherance of this plan. Already the reputation of 
 Hampton had penetrated the Black Belt from far-away 
 Virginia, and General Armstrong was asked to select a 
 teacher competent to organize such a school. 
 
 So it was that Booker T. Washington arrived at 
 Tuskegee. What he had to work with were two frame 
 cabins and a ruined chapel on an abandoned cotton 
 plantation near the edge of this prosperous county seat. 
 He also found the whites, with few exceptions, possessed 
 of real misgivings as to the effect of education on their 
 former slaves, and the Negroes governed by an equally 
 
 [4] 
 
live suspicion of education expressed in terms of work. 
 For the Negroes considered freedom from slavery as free- 
 dom from the necessity to work, and "book learning" as 
 in itself the solution of all their troubles. 
 
 In the face of the contrast between the wealthy town 
 and the abandoned plantation, and of the even sharper 
 contrast between public opinion and his message of the 
 dignity of trained labor, this untried young man began 
 to build for his race and for his country. And such were 
 the genius and perseverance of this master-builder that 
 local opinion changed from hostility to approval, and 
 
 THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY 
 
 Economies in its construction, made possible by the labor of 
 Tuskegee students in making the bricks and erecting the 
 structure, greatly strengthened the regard in which the Insti- 
 tute was held by Mr. Carnegie

AN EXHIBIT OF MECHANICAL DRAWING 
 
 On the right wall is a plan of the Institute grounds, and on the 
 left a chart showing the growth and development of the school 
 over four decades. There are now approximately two thousand 
 students enrolled in the Institute, three hundred children in 
 the Grammar School, and two hundred and fifteen teachers. 
 The six weeks' session of the summer school last year was 
 attended by over six hundred colored school teachers 
 
 the school began to develop and to attract attention. 
 Already having as a nucleus the sympathetic interest of 
 the men and women supporting Hampton, young Wash- 
 ington began to win new friends; just as, one day, a 
 special car was sidetracked at Tuskegee while a busy 
 railway executive carefully inspected the modest school 
 plant and talked at length with its founder, the begin- 
 ning of a life-long friendship. Others came; the poten- 
 tiahties of this Negro school attracted an ever-widening 
 audience.

THE JOHN A. ANDREW MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 
 
 Given in memory of the famous war-governor of Massa- 
 chusetts, this Hospital not only takes care of the students and 
 hundreds of Negroes in adjacent States, but serves as a stimu- 
 lus to improvement in the professional standards of colored 
 physicians and surgeons throughout the South. During a 
 week's clinic last year, eleven hundred patients were treated. 
 
 But it was in 1895 when Mr. Washington spoke in the 
 auditorium of the Atlanta Exposition as the representa- 
 tive of his race, that the country really awoke to the 
 significance of his message. The following year saw this 
 ex-slave installed as an Honorary Doctor of Laws of 
 Harvard University. Tuskegee town was brought out of 
 its aloofness from the bustle of affairs into national 
 prominence and the journey of young Washington into 
 the far-away Black Belt in 1881 became within two 
 decades a part of the itinerary of many distinguished 
 visitors to the United States. 
 
 By the first of the Twentieth Century the Negro had 
 begun to receive the recognition which his importance 
 
 [8] 
 
to the problems of American democracy merits. A few 
 brave spirits in the South began to speak out and were 
 joined by Northerners in organizing the annual Con- 
 ference on Education in the South which was later 
 crystallized into the Southern Education Board and 
 made so vital by the active participation of such leaders 
 as the late Walter Hines Page, Morris K. Jessup, and 
 William H. Baldwin, Jr., and as Dr. Albert Shaw, Dr. 
 Wallace Buttrick and others. 
 
 Prominent in this group was the late Robert C. 
 Ogden, the New York merchant so beloved for his public

SOME OF MR. OGDEN S GUESTS 
 
 In one of the famous Ogden Parties to Tuskegee were included 
 George McAneny, Dr. Lyman Abbott, Dr. Mollis B. Frissell, 
 Andrew Carnegie, and Dr. Charles W. Eliot. They are shown 
 here standing on the steps of the Chapel with Mr. Ogden and

REVIEWING STAND, TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY 
 
 In addition to those pictured on the opposite page, the 
 
 above gathering includes WilUam J. Schieffehn, Wallace 
 
 Buttrick, Miss Clara Spence, I. N. Selignian, J. G. Phelps 
 
 Stokes, and James H. Dillard 
 
 spirit and generosity. For more than a decade this man, 
 anxious that others should see the importance of a 
 proper pubHc opinion in regard to the problems of the 
 South, took as his guests on a special train each year to 
 the Southern city where the educational conference was 
 being held, a group of men and women noted for their 
 public interests. Although not an annual practice, these 
 trips frequently included a visit to Tuskegee. The 
 "Ogden Parties" became an outstanding expression of 
 America's traditional emphasis on the importance of 
 education, and their frequent association with Tuske- 
 gee brought home to the public the value of this 
 Institute's contribution toward solving a peculiarly im- 
 portant phase of our educational problem. 
 
Undoubtedly the most conspicuous trip and a high 
 Hght in American educational history, was the Ogden 
 Party which attended the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of 
 Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in 1906. In 
 this party Mr. Ogden gathered among his guests such 
 national figures as Dr. Lyman Abbott, Dr. Charles W. 
 Eliot, Andrew Carnegie, Dr. H. B. Frissell, J. G. Phelps 
 Stokes, William G. Willcox and Miss Clara Spence. The 
 coming together of this band of leaders near the little, 
 isolated town of Tuskegee, brought home to the Ameri- 
 can people, as had nothing before, the importance of this 
 problem and of the means being offered for its solution. 
 
 A PRESIDENT VISITS TUSKEGEE 
 
 The visit of the late Theodore Roosevelt to Tuskegee Insti- 
 tute during his presidential term and the respect which he paid 
 to Dr. Washington's advice were of outstanding importance in 
 directing public attention to a practical solution of America's 
 greatest educational problem. Colonel Roosevelt was at the 
 time of his death an active Trustee of the Institute

 NOTABLE VISITORS FROM ABROAD 
 
 The late Lord Bryce and Lady Bryce, Sir Harry H. Johnston 
 
 and others, greeted at the train by Dr. Washington on their 
 
 arrival at Tuskegee 
 
 Supplementing these annual trips have been the 
 visits to the Institute of other notable personages from 
 this and foreign countries. Presidents Roosevelt and 
 McKinley each visited Tuskegee during his presidency, 
 as did William H. Taft when Secretary of War; and this 
 same recognition was in effect accorded when President 
 Cleveland inspected the Negro Building at the x'\tlanta 
 Exposition on the arm of Booker T. W^ashington. 
 Among the distinguished visitors from abroad have been 
 the late Lord Bryce and Lady Bryce, and Sir Harry H. 
 Johnston. In recent years leading Southerners have also 
 expressed their recognition of Tuskegee's importance 
 through participation in public exercises of the Institute, 
 as last year when Dr. M. Ashby Jones, of Atlanta, made

the principal address at the Fortieth Anniversary of the 
 Institute. And on another occasion the late Governor 
 Bickett of North Carolina was a guest of Tuskegee. 
 
 The final visit of an Ogden Party to Tuskegee was 
 made in 1913 within a few months of the death of this 
 devoted friend. Since then the Trustees of Tuskegee 
 Institute have carried on the tradition of these parties 
 by arranging for specially invited groups of men and 
 women to accompany them on the trip to the annual 
 spring meeting of the Board, held at the Institute. The 
 practice is to reserve as many cars as are required to 
 accommodate the party and to have these attached to 
 one of the through trains to the South. During the 
 four days' visit of the party at the Institute, these Pull- 
 mans are sidetracked at Tuskegee for use on the return 
 trip, but the members of the party are the guests of the 
 Institute in one of the dormitories, which is reserved for 
 this purpose. Meals are served in the practice dining- 
 room of Dorothy Hall, the Home Economics Building. 
 
 [16] 
 
THl\ annual trip this year, which will start from New 
 York on April first and return the seventh, will be of 
 special interest as it will provide the occasion for the 
 unveiling of the heroic bronze statue of Booker T. Wash- 
 ington, the work of Charles Keck, of New York. The 
 statue represents the founder of Tuskegee lifting the 
 veil of darkness and ignorance from his less-fortunate 
 brother who, gazing into the new light, sees a vision of 
 education gained not alone from books but from a 
 mastery of manual trades as represented here by the 
 plow, the anvil and the square and compass. This 
 memorial to Dr. Washington, erected by the contri- 
 butions of one hundred thousand Negroes, is a signifi- 
 cant tribute from the members of his own race. 
 
 
 THE OUTPUT IN MANHOOD 
 
 This group of upstanding young men, composing the Y. M. 
 C. A. Cabinet Staff, is far removed from the loafer on the city 
 street corner or the untrained, shiftless farm hand of the 
 country districts. These young men take out with them from 
 Tuskegee into communities far afield, a good training as 
 artisan or farmer, a fine standard of living and a consecration 
 of service to their less fortunate brothers 
 
 [17] 
 
The ceremony of unveiling will be made a part of the 
 annual Founder's Day exercises, which will be held this 
 year on April 5th. Speakers at these exercises will be 
 Dr. Wallace Buttrick, Chairman of the General Edu- 
 cation Board, Hon. Josephus Daniels, ex-Secretary of 
 the Navy, and Dr. George C. Hall, the eminent Negro 
 surgeon of Chicago. The statue will be presented on 
 behalf of its donors by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, now of 
 Howard University and for many years Secretary to 
 Dr. Washington. William G. Willcox, Chairman of the

 Institute. 
 
 Another feature of this year's visit will be a pageant 
 showing the forty years of its existence.

 statue will present the occasion again to pay tribute to 
 the memory of the man who first attracted their active

interest in his great endeavor. For them it will be, too, 
 the revisiting of a Tuskegee consecrated by memories 
 of old associations, as many of the finest spirits whom 
 Dr. Washington enlisted in his cause have either pre- 
 ceded or followed him off the stage. For them it must 
 be an occasion full of solemn retrospection, yet brighr- 
 ened now and in prospective by the hopefulness inherent 
 in a great and living institution filled with the con- 
 tinuing progress of youth. 
 
 To those whose initial pilgrimage this will be, the in- 
 spiration will lie in their first contact with Dr. Wash- 
 ington's greatest monument, Tuskegee Institute itself, 
 its faculty and its students. Here is no bronze, but the 
 living, changing forces of men and women, and the 
 buildings which they make animate by their habitation;

 This school building, in Lee County, Alabama, is but one of 
 
 many hundred scattered throughout the Black Belt, evidence 
 
 of the lively interest and helpfulness shown by Mr. Rosen-

 and, under the wise leadership of Dr. Robert Russa 
 Moton, the outHne remains the same, pulsating with life 
 as it was left by Dr. Washington, master-sculptor in 
 American civilization. And this great, speaking monu- 
 ment will be seen at its best against the balmy South in 
 her most propitious time. Spring will be far advanced 
 and the well-tilled fields of the school farm will be burst- 
 ing with young life. Trades and home economics 
 buildings will be humming with industry; the farm stock 
 sleek and contented. 
 
 These buildings themselves assume real personality 
 when it is remembered that young and middle-aged men 
 now spreading the message of the dignity of labor and of 
 service to fellow men in many a humble school and

BLUE RIBBON DAIRY HERD SHOW 
 
 This annual event is an expression of the interest developed 
 
 by Tuskegee Institute in the improvement of agricultural 
 
 conditions, through well-directed attention to importance of 
 
 proper animal husbandry 
 
 settlement throughout the South, absorbed these ideals 
 while making the bricks and erecting the buildings, and 
 learned their English by writing about them and their 
 arithmetic by measuring their walls. For the physical 
 plant of Tuskegee Institute with its scores of great 
 dormitories, trades buildings, barns, administration 
 offices, library, chapel, hospital and power plant would 
 be coldly imposing but for the knowledge of the human 
 values which they represent. 
 
 Above all, it was the human value of Booker Washing- 
 ton that counted in making possible this great plant. 
 For here was a man with a monetary value of I400 as a 
 slave boy, and with no known value when, still a lad, he 
 was freed. He walked hundreds of miles to Hampton 
 
 [24] 
 
because he had heard that colored boys could get an 
 education there. Arrived, he had not the training to 
 pass the simplest examination; but he could sweep out 
 a room thoroughly, so thoroughly that he won the 
 approval of a school teacher from that New England 
 which had developed its own ideas of the meaning of 
 thoroughness. Failing completely in the formal examina- 
 tion, he passed with honors in"gumption,"and four years 
 later he was selected to answer the call from Alabama. 
 
 SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERT ON THE CAMPUS 
 
 Groups of students and friends from the countryside enjoying

 basis the inherent musical expression of this race, the training

 greater significance and expression than when heard in the 
 auditoria of the North

 price in slavery days; now 
 they were "freed" along

 the task in the spirit which 
 had won him entrance to 
 Hampton; and did the job 
 so well that after twenty 
 years so shrewd a man as

 INSPECTING TUSKEGEE DURING THEIR ANNUAL VISIT 
 
 This group of Trustees and their guests includes Messrs. 
 SchieffeHn, Willcox and Mason 
 
 that the income from |^i 50,000 of this amount should 
 be set aside for the personal needs of Dr. Washington. 
 The intent was that he should not have to worry about 
 his family but should devote all his thought and energy 
 to administering and de- 
 veloping his school. 
 
 The physical plant and 
 endowment of this enter- 
 prise might reach the amaz- 
 ing total of $3,000,000, 
 as it had at the time of

 in December, 191 ^J, but

 WELCOME TO TUSKECEE 
 
TEACHERS ATTENDING SUMMER SCHOOL 
 
 Six hundred and forty teachers attended last year's session of 
 the Tuskegee Institute Summer School. Here, as in the case 
 of the medical clinics and farmers' conferences, is an example 
 of the widespread influence exerted by the Institute in the 
 betterment of educational methods and standards of living 
 
 main human and friendly that were erected under the 
 leadership of such a man by boys starting in, as he had 
 done, on the very lowest rung of the ladder. 
 
 His great teacher, General Armstrong, finished his 
 work at Hampton Institute with the words, "Hampton 
 must not go down." Booker T. Washington speaks to us 
 today with the same stirring message, "Tuskegee must 
 not go down." Its foundation is laid deep in the needs 
 of twelve million Negroes. Its success is firmly estab- 
 lished by forty years of experience. Its future is in the 
 hands of its friends — a sacred legacy from its great 
 founder. •
