STATEMENT 
 
 Livingstone Collect: -and. Industrial School, the only child of Lincoln University, was named in hon- 
 or of the great Philanthopist and Explorer, David Livingstone. It was incorporated in 1882 and char- 
 tered in 1885, and has become a positive force in the developement of the manhood and womanhood 
 of the Negro race. 
 
 It represents the idea of self help in a greater degree, perhaps, than any other Negro school in the 
 South. Of the amount required for the annual support of the work, more than three-fourths is paid by 
 the Negroes themselves. 
 
 The total value of the property of the college is over $225,000. 
 
 The destruction, by fire, of Stanford Seminary, our only means of accomodation for the young women, 
 entailed a loss in building and equipment of more than $20,000. 
 
 A modern and commodious building is proposed, and plans drawn for its erection, the estimated 
 cost of which is $50,000 The General Educational Board has donated $12,500 upon condition that the 
 Negroes themselves raise $37,500 We want to show ourselves equal to the opportunity. 
 
 This circular is an appeal to YOU for your hearty co-operation and liberal contribution. WE MUST 
 meet the conditions of the General Educational Board, and we must erect this building at once, for it is 
 an absolute necessity not only for the comfort and accommodation of the limited number of young 
 women already in attendance, but also for the large number of applicants whom we have been compell- 
 ed to refuse because of lack of room. 
 
 ALL contributions should be sent immediately to W. H. Goler, D. D, Treasurer of the fund.

 To whom it may concern: 
 
 I am well acquainted with Livingstone College and Industrial School, Salisbury, North Carolina, an 
 institution for the education of colored young men and women. For years, my State gives annually 
 $2,000.00 for poor students. I have also contributed personally and have visited the institution and ad- 
 dressed the faculty and students. While Governor , I attended their Quarter-Centennial two years ago 
 and spoke to nearly 3009 persons in and around the auditorium. Dr. Booker T. Washington also spoke 
 during the celebration. 
 
 The school is mainly sustained by Negroes and is doing a splendid work for the uplift of the race. 
 It is worthy of the generous assistance of Northern philanthropists and friends of the colored people. 
 It is commended by the leading white citizens and some of the best of them are builaing homes near 
 the institution. The first President and founder Prof. J. C. Price, was a genuine type of the Negro of 
 great ability and oratorical power. His early demise was universally regretted as he was beloved 
 throughout the State. Its present eloquent Secretary, Rev. Dr. James E. Mason is doing an excellent 
 work in promoting its interest. I wish him great success in his difficult and much needed work.

 Late Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D. D., Brooklyn, N. Y.; Oct 21, 1903 "I have been acquaited for 15 
 years with the admirable Institution Livingstone in North Carolina, of which my eloquent friend, the 
 late J. C. Price, was the President. 
 
 Its aim is to make the Negro a good workman, whether he works in the pulpit or in the school- 
 room, or at a mechanic's trade or on the farm. It helps the Colored man to help himself. Every dollar 
 given to Livingstone is a first rate investment. It pays a good dividend. 
 
 Livingstone College, a co-educational institution for the colored race, located in my home town, Sal- 
 isbury, N. C, is an institution devoted (o the industrial and moral educational uplift of the colored peo- 
 ple. I am personally acquainted with the nature and character of the work that is done there, and I 
 take pleasure in stating that it is well and economically managed; that the students are orderly and re- 
 spectful and the corps of teachers are men of excellent character ahd prominent colored men well fitted 
 for the work. The school is doing a splendid worl , and I a glad to commend the effort now being made 
 to secure a Girls' Building as in every way worthy of the favorable consideration of those who may be 
 charitably disposed. Lee S. Overman, U. S. S
