where the Langstonites were cor-
dially Welcomed by Principal Busby
and the teachers and students of
the Douglass high school. After a
careful inspection of the school
buildings and grounds, the colleg-
ians presented a program for the
entertainment of their host. The
program consisted of a dramatic
skit worked out by the Social
Science Club demonstrating the ad-
vantages of going to college. Dr.
Oscar J. Chapman, head of the Di-
vision of Education, and Dr. A. J
Walker, head of the Department of
Social Science, gave brief but in-
spiring talks on the importance of
education in post-war planning, and
what Langston University has to of-
fer. After the program the visit-
ors held conferences with members
of the senior class concerning their
plans for entering college next fall
The second stop was made al
