What I deduced about Booker T. Washington comes from references made to him in books i've read about other famous blacks. He seemed to have been not only an accomodationist but a supreme pragmatist, not optimistic about black equality ever coming into fruition, So the college he founded was a vocational one where students were urged to acquire skills in the agricultural sciences and fields of service. He also didn't seem to have a lot of faith in the morals of young blacks because of the stringent rules and strict curfews that were enforced, restricting their social lives to make sure there was no hanky panky going on. Attending the campus church was also mandatory. His goal was apparently to turn out god-fearing subservient graduates, who could earn a living at the only type of jobs available to Blacks.
