North Carolina College for Negroes

REPORT

For the academic quarter ending Dec. 14, 1925.

To the President of the College

Sir:

I have the honor to present the following report for the
quarter Sept. 16--Dec. 14, 1925.

The teachers for the past quarter have been imparting the
subject matter with enthusiasm. The students, on a whole, have
exercised a reasonable amount of interest. These combined efforts
might lead one to believe that the results of the quarter's work
would be exceptionally good. This, however, is not quite the case.
The quarter has been marked by an effort on the part of the teachers
to accomplish as much work as each individual teacher thought that a
college class should accomplish. This effort, in many cases, worked
a certain hardship on many of the students who have sufficient
credits to be in the college classes but whose preparation is
insufficient to grasp college methods of teaching and the abundance of
material to be mastered. The quarter may be termed as one in which
both teachers and students found themselves. I am glad to say that
in all cases the teachers are determined to do the work that any
accredited college class in the country would do. This ideal, under
the prresent situation, may not be wholly possible, yet it is an
ideal worth cherishing.
