...past year President Percy Hampton Johnston reported earnings of $7,700,000 as against $8,300,000 in 1933.

Its plant consists of a cluster of grimy brick buildings fronting on the busy Baltimore Pike. Lately President Johnson and his trustees have been pondering two facts: 1) the centre of U. S. Negro population, fed by the teeming black sections of Washington, New York and Philadelphia, has been shifting rapidly northward and eastward; 2) Lincoln is the only first-rate Negro university north of the Mason & Dixon Line, east of Ohio's Wilberforce...
