The graduates at Howard University, Washington, recently visited the White House where they were received by President [Theodore] Roosevelt. Addressing them, the President alluded to the number of West Indians at Howard, and the progress they had made in their studies. He hoped that more West Indians would enter the University next year. At the present time there are 13 or 14 Jamaicans at the Howard University.

Dr. Robert Reyburn, Dean of the Medical Department of Howard University, Washington paid tribute to West Indians in a recent speech reported in the University Journal, he said:
"Another reason for our glowing future is the limitless scope of territory from which we draw our students. We receive them from almost all parts of the earth; far-off Japan has some of our graduates; from the West Indies we receive many, and they are among our best educated students."
