The 1919-1920 Catalogue has some light restoration to the fore-edge of the front cover. Each bulletin averages 300 pp. The 1919 volume has a folding frontispiece of the proposed plan for the campus development; the same folding plan appears in the 1921 bulletin and in each succeeding annual up to 1924. Each annual has a general description followed by extensive reportage of the curriculum and requirements for each department, with a list of faculty and of registered students. Founded in 1865, the expansion that occurred during the time of these bulletins was huge, and in 1926 the first African-American head of Howard was installed: Mordecai Wyatt Johnson, who would guide the university until 1960. By the 1920s Howard University had become the greatest of the HBCU's, a position it still holds. These annuals are very rare in commerce and also in institutions: only one or two American institutions have copies of any of these at all, and it is unlikely a group of these will appear on the market again any time soon. Very Good.
