upon the generalization which Cor
relates deteriorating property val
ues with Negro occupancy.
However, after analyzing 22,791
ales of residential properties oc-
urring in Baltimore during the
iscal years, 1955-1958, Dr. Favor
concludes that property value per-

'avorable in group's comprised of

occupancy than in restrictive oc-

Howard's New President Outlines
Plan To Re-Study School's Goals
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Howard
University President James M. Na-
brjtt, Jr., last week revealed plans
for a comprehensive, three-point
mstitutional self-study program de
signed to make Howard a “really
outstanding” university. The study
would exSnnine the effectiveness
of the University’s current policies
and practices, define its role in
tight of recent social changes, and
determine the direction which
Howard will take in future years.
The proposal came in an address
at exercises marking the beginning
of the 93rd year of instruction at
Howard, the nation’s largest pie-
dominently Negro instittuion of
higher learning. The address was
Or. Nabrit’s first to students and
teachers at the University since his
appointment as president in July.
Key features, of- the new presi
dent’s self-examiuation program
include (1) a review of the objec-
itives of each of Howard’s lO
schools and colleges, ,(2) a deter
mination ot the caliber of students
tu be admitted in the future and]
the size of the student body, and
(3) an examination of courses and
subject matter to determine if
curriculum changes are needed.
“In essence, what we are going
to undertake is, firsi:, to study our
selves; and, second, on tbe basis
of this study, to establish long-
range prbgrams,” Dr. Nabrit said.
“Our objective is not simply that
of solving current problems, what
ever they may be. Our goal is to
make ^oward University a really
outstanding university on the basis
of recognized value standards and
educational criteria.”
Specific areas which will come
in for scrutiny under the plan in
clude University organization, fac
ulty and staff, physical facilities,
and financing.
“We need to know whether the
way in which the University is
presently organized best serves its
purposes,’’ President Nabrit said.
■‘If it is not so organized, then we
must take steps to secure, reorgani
zation.” . j
