I have come across no evidence that Garfield had anything to do with the establishment of Howard University, a college founded by the First Congregationalist Society of Washington (D.C) as a theological school for African Americans in 1867. Though Garfield was serving his third term (of nine total) as a congressman from Ohio at this time, his strong religious affiliation was with the Christian Church or "Disciples of Christ" which had its foundings as a religious movement by Alexander Campbell. Garfield had preached among the Christian Churches. His college connections were with Hiram College (known at the time of his attending as Western Reserve Eclectic Institute) where he attended 1851-54, and Williams College (Massachusettes) from which he graduated in 1856. Garfield taught languages, and later served as the principle of Hiram College, an institution affiliated with the Christian Churches. It is probably his association with Hiram that has given rise to the urban myth of his establishment of Howard as far as I can tell.

What is the middle name of Garfield the cat?
It doesn't seem that he has a middle name. One obscure source I found said it is "Abram" but this name is not listed anywhere else I could find. Garfield was named after James Garfield Davis, Jim Davis' father, but I have found nothing that implies James or Davis became a part of his name. It seems that officially, his name is just "Garfield Arbuckle."

What president was assassinated in 1961?
James Abram Garfield was the second U.S. President to be assassinated. On July 2, 1881, he was walking through the Sixth Street Station of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad [the current location of the National Gallery of Art]. He was accompanied by sons James and Harry, Secretary of State James G. Blaine, and - ironically - Secretary of War Robert Todd Lincoln. For the latter was the son of Abraham Lincoln, the first U.S. President to be assassinated. President Garfield was going to catch the train to Williamstown, Massachusetts. He was the scheduled speaker at his alma mater, Williams College. But he never boarded the train. Charles Julius Guiteau, a lawyer whose applications for the U.S. consulship in Paris had been rejected repeatedly, shot him in the arm and then in the spine. The second bullet couldn't be found. The President suffered through infections, fevers, extreme pain, bronchial pneumonia, and blood poisoning before dying on September 19, 1881.
