Washington writes as Principal of Tuskegee, sending a circular (not present) and soliciting donations to the school's scholarship fund: "There are few institutions in the country where students do more to help themselves than is true here: they provide the cost of their board, books, traveling expenses, clothing, etc., but are unable to pay the cost of tuition which is $50.00 a year … Any amount, however small, will be helpful to us"
