Excerpt from Howard University Record, Vol. 3: November, 1909 I am far from saying - and I wish to put in this caveat in advance, in Order notto be met by an argument which, has, Weight but has not weight when improperly used - that the colored race today. All of them, _would be-better Off if they all had university education. I think they would be in a very bad way if they had, because they would not know how to use it, andthey. Would not find, means of using it.. No race Would be better off if they were all educated as university men. The great body of the Colored race, as the great body of the white race, must depend for their livelihood upon their manual labor, skilled or unskilled, or upon some occupation which requires less education than that which is conferred by a university, and if it is too widely extended the effect of it is to put a lot of men into life who do not find occupations which are suited to their taste, and to make them unhappy and really not fit for the life which is before them.
