Hampton School Records

Records of Negro and Indian Graduates and Ex-Students

With historical and personal sketches and testimony on important race questions from within and without, to which are added, by courtesy of Messrs Putnam's Sons, N. Y., some of the Songs of the Races gathered in the School.

In 1873, the book, "Hampton and its Students," giving the early story of the Hampton Institute, illustrative sketches and a number of the students' Plantation Melodies, was published By G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, and went through several editions, selling chiefly at the concerts of the "Hampton Students "then singing up the walls" Virginia Hall, the second largest building erected at the School.

Since that time, its buildings have increased from five or six to over fifty; its students from 175 to 650 boarding students, representing twenty-two states and territories; it is known as the first of the modern Eastern Schools for Indians as well as the first Southern School of its kind for the freedmen, and, with sometimes representatives of other races or nationalities Afro-Cuban, Russian, Native African, Armenian, Persian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian and Hawaiian, may claim to have "put a girdle around the world." Graduating its first class in 187 t, it has now 797 graduates (37 of them Indians), almost without exception teachers and leaders of their people, chiefly in the country districts of Virginia and neighboring Southern states These, with at least half as many more colored undergraduates who teach and do other work, and over 400 returned Indian students, the great majority of whom have done well, are the fruit and measure of Hampton's work for two races.

Notes about Online Publication: This manuscript has been ocr'd and edited. Many of the Native American words have been reproduced as clearly as online publication will allow us, but not all are exactly the way they were in the original work. The structure of this manuscript has been changed to allow better online presentation.
