him of the coveted opportunity of
vi»lting Howard during the p u n t

In his brief uddrcM», Mr Hoover
«im ply brought the greeting of the
federal government to Howard Util
vemity and upheld the justification
of federal grants for the sutne reuson
us «undry of hi» predecessor» had
done before him. Mr. Hoover was ac
[companled by Mrs Hoover, the sec
ond time that the presence of the
University has been honored by the
presence of the lady of the White
House. Listen now to u bit of un
known history. The first public grant
to Howard University
was secured
under President Hayes, at a time
when
both branches of Congress
were heavily Democratic. It so hap- .
pened that Dr. W. W. Patton, then
President of llowurd University, was
a cousin of President llayes. On the
occasion o f his visit to the Universi
ty he was accompanied by Mrs. Ha
yes. The President and his wife were
j dinner guests of President
Patton.
This may have had something to do
with (he original federal grant to
this Negro institution. President Pat
ton then lived next to the Honorable
John M. Langston, the famous Negro
lawyer and statesman. On his way
back t o the White House, the Pres»
dent and Mrs. Hayes paid a social
visit to their distinguished fellow O-
hlan. The writer now occupies (jin es
