Chancellors Report,
University of Georgia.
July 8th, 1887.

To the Board of Trustees;
University of Georgia.
Gentlemen;

As there was so large a number that graduated last year, we had serious doubts whether the accessions this year would make up for the diminution. We were prepared therefore for a decrease of numbers as compared to last year. I am happy though to report that instead of a falling off, there has been a slight increase in the numbers in attendance.

Number of Students
During the past year there have matriculated in

(13)
Athens,
the departments at Athens two hundred and seven, (207) Students viz; in Franklin College. One hundred and forty five. (145) in the State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. Fifty one. (51) and in the Law School, eleven, (11) Of those in the State College two (2) are Post Graduates.

Number of all those who have received instruction in the various departments of the University during the Collegiate Year.

In Franklin College. - 145.

In State College of Ag & Mech. Arts. (two Post Graduates.) - 51.

Law Department. - 11.

Total in all Departments at Athens. - 207.
As against 204 reported last year.

In the Medical Department. - 150.
As against 130, last year.

In North Georgia Agl College. Males 103, Females 11} Total. - 114.
As against 139 last year.

In South Georgia Agl College, Males 130, Females 50} Total. - 180.
As against 85 last year.

In Middle Georgia Mil. & Ag. Coll. Males 211, Females 217} Total. - 428.
As against 407, last year.

The three Branch Colleges reported last year are aggregate of 631, as against 722 this year.

Total in all the Departments and Colleges in our System. - 1079.
As against 965 last year.

It will appear then that in all the Departments and Colleges there has been an aggregate gain of. - 114.

Comparisons of Gains and Losses.
The Medical Department gains. 20.

The Branch College at Dahlonega loses. 25.

Thomasville gains. - 95.

(14)
University of Georgia,
The Branch College at Milledgeville gains. 21.

Franklin College holds it own exactly at 145.

The same is true of the Law Department. Eleven each year.

The State College of Agriculture & the Mech. Arts. Gains. 4.

College Grade,
In Departments at Athens. 207.
As against 204. Last year.

In Department at Augusta. 150.
As against 130 last year.

In the College at Dahlonega Males 60, Females 0} Total. 60.
As against 49. Last year.

In the college at Thomasville. Soph. 4} Females 0} Total. - 22.
Fresh 18} Females 4}
As against 5 males last year.

In Coll. at Milledgeville soph 38.} Females 20, Males 18}71 each} Total. 142.
Fresh 114 51, 53

Total of College Grade in all Departments 581.
As against 528 last year.


It appears then that the Departments here have gained 3 students of College Grade over last year, Augusta has gained 20, Dahlonega has gained, 11, Thomasville has gained 17, and Milledgeville has gained 2. Of the 142 Students though of College Grade reported by Milledgeville. 71 just one half are females. There must also be an unusual method of estimating those of College Grade by the last-mentioned College, and a peculiar law operating upon those thus classed; for of the 38, given as belonging to the Sophomore Grade, only 12 were presented at Commencement as having completed the course, and 9 of these were females. Of the 18 boys reported as entering the Sophomore Class, only 3, just one sixth went through to the end.

(15)
Athens,
Undergraduates.
Excluding the Law and Medical Departments and the two Post Graduates, it will be seen that the of the College Grade, there are Undergraduates:

In the Departments at Athens. 194.
As against 192, last year.

In all the Branch Colleges. - 224.
As against 194, last year.

But 75 undergraduates, reported by the Branch Colleges are females. So that there have been in all the Branch Colleges this year 149 male undergraduates. Attention is also called again to the shadowy character at Commencement of large numbers reported as of College Grade. Of the 60 at Dahlonega, only 2 came to graduation, and of the 38 sophomores reported at Milledgeville only 3 boys completed the course and nine girls.

Total undergraduates of College Grade. 418.
As against 386, last year.

Medical Department.
At the commencement of the Medical Department this year. I conferred the Degree of Doctor of Medicine on forty-six (46.) graduates, as already stated this Department has had an increase of students during the past year.

Art Gallery.
I am sorry to say that during the past year no Trustee has favored us with a gift of his portrait, Numbers though have promised us to do so, and I patiently wait their time. It is a sore disappointment to me that I have failed to get the portrait of every member of the Board contemporary with myself.

University of Georgia,
Deaths,
The University and the State lament the death of the late Chief Justice James Jackson, L.L.D. which occurred since the last meeting of your board, An alumnus, of this University, and for many years a member of its Board of Trust, he illustrated his Alma Mater and contributed most potently to its advancement in prosperity and usefulness, In all the relations he sustained as statesman, jurist, Christian, he stood conspicuous for an ability faithfulness, and purity that commanded universal recognition, and admiration, The University also laments the death of a promising student, a young man from Savannah, who died unexpectedly on the cars, on his way home, whither he was summoned by his Father, with the hope that thus his health might be recuperated.

The University Form of Government
The Trustees, at their last session, legislated with the intention to make some important changes in the matter of the Powers and Duties of the Chancellor. There appearing to me to be important differences of opinion among the members of the Faculty, as to the proper interpretation of that legislation, in order to avoid friction, I thought it best to give in advance an analysis of the scheme and a codification of in, which I would offer to the Faculty for their animadversion and adoption or rejection. All but two cordially agreed with me that the analysis and classification were in accordance with the intention of the Trustees. One

(17)
Athens,
of those dissenting heartily accepts the scheme as an eminently wise one, and hopes the Trustees will themselves ratify it. The other cordially acquiesces in the interpretation of the majority of his colleagues, That paper is re-produced here with respectful request that the Trustees will criticise it, and approve or condemn it.

Scheme for the Government of the University of Georgia under the Laws of the Trustees, as contained in the Report of a Committee in July 1886, On the Powers and Duties of the Chancellor.

The text of that report is in the following words; The Special Committee, on the Powers and Duties of the Chancellor report; that by the Code of the State the Chancellor is clothed with the powers which formerly belonged to the President. By the action of the Senatus Academicus, in 1853, a Code of Laws was enacted for the government of the Institution. By that Code the government the College is vested in the President. Professors and Tutors. Styled. The Faculty of Franklin College. Chap 1. Sec. 1.

By the 7th. Section of the same chapter. to the President is committed the general superintendence of the interests and reputation of the Institution. By the 14th. Section of the same chapter, it is enacted that every matter brought before the faculty shall be decided by votes, and it shall be the privilege of the President of the College, when present, to vote in all cases that come, before the Faculty, and also to give a casting vote when otherwise there would be a tie.

(18)
University of Georgia,
By the 1st Section and succeeding Sections of Chap 7th. It is enacted that punishment for for (sic) all offenses, embracing even reprimand shall be by the Faculty. So that, while the Chancellor is held responsible by law, and by the Board of Trustees, and by the public for general superintendence of the interests, and, reputation of the College, he is not authorized to inflict any sort of punishment for misbehaving of any sort by the students. Your Committee think that this is all wrong, and that he who is responsible must have power in the supervision of those interests and that reputation, we are of opinion that this Board has the power to amend the enactment of the Senatus Academicus of 1853, so as to confer power, where responsibility rests. Therefore it is hereby enacted by this Board that complete power is hereby nested the Chancellor in all disciplinary supervision, and punishment for misbehavior, and seriousness of duty by the students, and he shall not be required to consult the faculty thereon, except at his option, unless the offense he such as in his judgement shall amount to serious gravity, and raise the issue of expulsion from College. Provided nevertheless that it shall be the duty of each member of the Faulty to co-operate with the Chancellor in the enforcement of discipline, and each member is especially required to preserve order and enforce discipline in his own department. James Jackson Chm.

(19)
Athens,
We have in the above Report.

First. A restatement of some of those features of government in the past that are intended to be still in force.

Second. A withdrawal of one item of former from the Faculty, and the vesting it in the Chancellor at his discretion; and

Third. A designation of those classes of governing authorities in the University, with their jurisdiction, duties and powers.

Let us take these up in the order stated above and consider them in detail.

First. The restatement of those features of government in the past that are intended to be still in force.
These are:

1st. The Chancellor is clothed with the powers which formerly belonged to the President. (Substituting Chancellor for President, and University for College in the further discussion.)

2nd. The government of the University is vested in the Chancellor, Professors, and Tutors, styled the Faculty of the University.

3rd. To the Chancellor is committed the general superintendence of the interests and reputation of the Institution.

4th. Every matter brought before the Faculty shall be decided by votes, and it shall be the privilege of the chancellor when present, to vote in all cases that come before the Faculty and also to give a casting vote when otherwise there would be a tie.

Second, The report withdraws one item of power from the Faculty, and vests it in the Chancellor, at his discretion.

Up to the adoption of the Report, the law was, -

(20)
University of Georgia
that punishment for all offenses, embracing even reprimand, shall be by the Faculty. This is repealed, and there is enacted in its stead the following, viz; It is hereby enacted by the Board that complete power is nested in the Chancellor, in all disciplinary supervision, and punishment for misbehavior and seriousness of duty by the students, and he shall not be required to consult the Faculty thereon except at his option, unless the offense be such, as in his judgment, shall amount to serious gravity, and raise the question of expulsion from the University. Finally.

Third. The report gives a designation of three classes of governing authorities within the University, with their jurisdictions, duties and powers, 1st. The Chancellor, 2nd. Each Member of the Faculty, and 3rd. The Faculty as a body, composed of Chancellor, Professors and Tutors, Taking these up in series, and noting in detail their jurisdictions, duties, and powers, we consider;

1st. The Chancellor, as governing authority, His prerogatives and powers are divided into two classes;

First, Complete power is vested in him in all disciplinary supervision, and punishment for misbehavior, and seriousness of duty by the students, and he need not consult the Faculty except at his option.

Second. To him is committed the general superintendence of the interests and reputation of the Institution.
Discussing each of these in detail

First. The complete power vested in the chancellor in all disciplinary supervision, and punishment for misbehavior and seriousness of

(21)
Athens,
of duty by students is not unlimited in its range; for that officer is warned by the proviso proviso. In the enactment that each he is not to intrude upon the jurisdiction of the Professor: He is expressly put on notice, that each member of the Faculty is specially required to preserve order and enforce discipline in his own department. Is there any contradiction in terms when he is told on the one hand that, he is nested with complete power, and on the other, prohibited from exercising any power as between a professor and the students in his department? By no means, The fact is, there are two classes of government in the University. 1st. That relating to order and discipline in (each) Department. Which is first in the hands of Professors in Departments severally and ultimately, if necessary, in the hands of the Faculty as an organized body, as will be shown hereafter, and, 2nd, The general government of the students as members of the University outside of their relations to-recitation rooms and away from such gatherings as bring them in connection with Faculty assembled according to-law, as for example daily public prayers, This general government refers.

(1). To the habits of the students, and to their department at their boarding places, on the campus, in the town, and whenever else they may be; and

(2). To seriousness of duty. Not related to the Departments, severally, but to those laws that operate upon them as students under University; not Department government, There may be given as examples of seriousness of duty in this connection, a failure to report to the chancellor for matriculation

(22)
University of Georgia
within twenty four hours after arrival in town, the going out of town in Term time with out first obtaining the permission of the Chancellor, and a failure to unite with one of the Literary Societies.

This division of the University government over students is placed in a sense exclusively in the hands of the Chancellor, with the single exception of the power to expel. He can arraign a student for misdemeanor outside of Department and Faculty jurisdictions for vicious habits and notorious demonstrations on the Campus, in the streets or elsewhere, and he is under no obligations to consult the Faculty, or any member of it, excepting at his own option; or to inform them or any of them of what discoveries he has made, and what processes he is pursuing that are intended to lead toward the reformation of the student, or to prepare the way for his removal from the University. But while the Faculty as a body have no right to intrude themselves into this department of University government, nor to express by vote any opinion as to how a case of discipline shall be managed that stops short of expulsion, it is made the special duty of each member to co-operate with the Chancellor in the enforcement of discipline, This can mean nothing less than that each member is in duty bound to help the Chancellor in discovering offenses and offenders: and to use his

(23)
Athens,
individual, personal influence, to prevent, and suppress disorders. His duty will not permit him to remain quiescent when young men are going astray by indulgence in vicious habits, or when they are engaged in perpetrating disorders, and misdemeanors, And he is positively forbidden by the law, to so act as if he had no responsibility in the premises. While all power to-inflict punishment, short of expulsion, in the general government, of the students as members of the University, is lodged in the hands of the Chancellor, it is made the special duty of each member of the Faculty to-cooperate with (that officer) in the enforcement of discipline.

Remark. 1. The powers given to the Chancellor in the enforcement of discipline in the general government of the University outside of department and Faculty jurisdictions, are derived directly from the Trustees, and defend for their validity, and stability in no respect upon the Faculty, Each member of the Faculty (can) co-operate with the Chancellor. And is in duty bound to do so, but the Faculty as a body cannot touch questions pertaining to the enforcement of discipline under the laws in the general government of the University, until invited to do so by the Chancellor. Certainly then, it is not their prerogative to change or modify the powers of that officer, that are given to him by direct enactment of the Trustees.

Remark. 2. There is nothing in the Report, on which we are animadverting, that asserts

(24)
University of Georgia.
or even implies that the Chancellor is competent to promulgate originally any law, of his own, for the general discipline of students, as members of the University. He is to exercise the complete power vested in him only in subordination to and in accordance with the Laws of the Trustees, enacted for University government.

Remark. 3. While all right to make Rules and Regulations for carrying into effect the Laws of the Trustees the government of the University, outside of general discipline, is vested in the Faculty, as will be shown hereafter, it might be plausibly inferred that within the limitations of general discipline, the chancellor and he alone has the right, under the Laws of the Trustees, to prescribe rules and regulations of a precautionary character, affecting students alone, and not infringing upon the rights and privileges herein after to-be stated, of each member of the Faculty, and of the Faculty itself as an organized body. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If complete power is vested in the Chancellor in all disciplinary supervision. As well as punishment. Of the student in the general government of the University, it might be plausibly claimed that he can, without consulting the Faculty, change any custom of the student whose tendency is to jeopardize general order and discipline, and if necessary, formulate and enforce a plan to take the peace of such custom,

(25)
Athens,
this may be all true, if it includes only himself, and the students outside of Department jurisdictions and limited to general discipline. If his plans and regulations include the agency of the faculty as a body, he is stopped by the limitations of his powers. The complete power vested in him is limited to students as subjects, and to them even, exclusively in their relations of department and order under the general discipline of the University, While each member of the Faculty is in duty bound to co-operate with the Chancellor in the enforcement of discipline, that officers complete power gives him no jurisdiction over his colleagues as individuals nor as a Faculty that will authorize him, without their consent, to place them as important agents to carry out any such precautionary plan formulated by himself. Take for instance the custom that has always given no so much trouble viz; the arraignment by a class of its members charged with cheating in an examination. Prevention here is absolutely necessary for efficient discipline. But no plan meant to retain the good and exclude the evil, could be effective, that does not include the Faculty as the tribunal to try cases. And no power can subject the Faculty to that duty, except their own vote, or a law enacted by the Trustees. While therefore for complete success in discipline precautionary measures are necessary, because bad influences must be neutralized and good influences must be established in the rarest of all cases. (and none such can be called to mind now.) is the com

(26)
-plete power vested in the chancellor potent to enable him of his own will to remove bad customs that are menacing to good discipline. His complete power here, without the voluntary co-operation of the Faculty as a body, becomes complete weakness; and tremendous responsibility is placed exclusively on him, without adequate exclusive power to meet it.

Perhaps it will suffice in this discussion of the jurisdiction, duties and powers of the Chancellor as they relate to his disciplinary supervision and punishment for misbehavior and remissness of duty by the students. Let attention now be given to the second class of jurisdiction, duties, and powers, pertaining to his office. This is expressed by the Law in the following words;

The first class Second. To the Chancellor is committed the general superintendence of the interests and reputation of the University. The first class of duties discussed above relates exclusively to the students. This now to be considered relates to the whole University and all its details of persons and things. Whatever pertains to the interests or reputation of the University comes under the general superintendence of the head of the Institution. This brings us into a shadowy region with no light from specific Law, or from consistent and harmonious precedents, to guide us. The chancellor is to govern his conduct in the premises merely by inferences, he must draw from the general principles involved. Which may, or

(27)
Athens,
may not be accepted by others as valid, Interests and reputation include all that there is of the University, the former relating to what is, and the latter to what it appears to be; and the chancellor has committed to him the general superintendence of these, this implies;

1. That he has a right to make inquisition into all things relating to the interests and reputation of the University.



2. That he has a right to be heard on all these things, and is not to be considered as an intruder, and impertinent when he expresses at the right time and place, and in the right way his opinions about them.



3. That he has a right, and is in duty bound to use that power himself, to invoke the potency that is adequate, to arrest influences which tend to jeopardize the interests or the reputation of the University, and,



4. That it is his duty to see that the Trustees shall be fully informed annually in reference to all the details that enter into the interests and reputation of the University. It follows then that all communications and reports from Professors and Departments should pass through the hands of the Chancellor.


But here comes an important question: Does the general superintendence committed to the chancellor authorize him to animadvert, on occasion, upon the character and conduct of a Professor? Suppose the head of one of these Departments should neglect his duties or prove to be utterly incompetent as to ability to teach, or to main-

(28)
University of Georgia,
tain order and discipline in his department suppose he falls into vicious habits, and becomes a drunkard, a profane swearer or a debauchee, or should teach infidelity, or atheism, would not the interests and reputation of the University suffer? Does the obligation of general superintendence, impose a duty on the Chancellor in such cases as these? If so, what power does he have, and what kind of interposition, if any, could he make? He could not dismiss the Professor for he had no voice in his election, and that officer is in no way, in the nature of things, placed under his authoritative control. The most that he can do is to bring the matter officially to the notice of those who have the power to act efficiently in the premises. But as the principles, underlying the mixed government here, require him to lay the case first before the Faculty, to get their co-operation, or can he, without consulting that body, bring the case directly to the Board of Trustees? There is nothing in the Code of Laws that gives direct Precept to guide him, in such case; and the precedents are conflicting. The records show that under Dr. Churchs administration, in a case of the kind, the Faculty were called together by the President, who laid complaints before them of the incompetency or unfaithfulness of an office, and then charges and specifications were formulated against him, which, in the name of the Faculty, were transmitted by the President to the Board of Trustees. On the other hand, under Dr.

(29)
Athens,
Tuckers administration, when certain rumors damaging to the reputation of one of the Professors reached the Trustees, and neither the chancellor alone, nor in company with the Faculty had made complaints against him, the Board summoned the chancellor before them, and virtually demanded that he should officially give the fact that stood to the disadvantage of the Professor; and when the Dr. showed signs of hesitation, they virtually put him on the stand as a witness; and elicited from him the information that was essentially due from one to who was committed the general superintendence of the interests and reputation of the University. The Board also the same or the next year passed an order requiring the Chancellor to visit all the recitation rooms and lecture rooms, and note the methods of the Professors, and the results of their instructions, as if they would put him on notice that he must keep himself well informed in regard to the processes and proficiencies of the Professors severally, in order that he might be prepared to report a Professor in whose hands the interests and reputation of the University are suffering. This may have been an inadvertency on the part of the Board; and if the question should be calmly considered by them, they might require that the chancellor should be supported by the Faculty in any complaint made against a professor.

If the duty of reporting delinquencies and deficiencies against a Professor should be imposed upon the Chancellor alone, he need not hesitate on the ground of the delicacy of the duty, and the danger to himself personally in the attempt to perform it. With

(30)
University of Georgia,
gentleness and sympathy, as well as candor and faithfulness, he must summon to his aid all the address in his power, and do his duty, though the ultimate result may be to lay his own head on the block, nor need he be deterred by the consideration that no final and efficient power is lodged in his hands to decide cases. And that if the accused Professor resists to report him would in its last analysis be simply an invitation to him to measure strength with the head of the University, before the Board of Trustees. The power is lodged in his hands to put the highest governing authority in possession of the charges and specifications. Let him exercise that power and discharge that duty with meekness and faithfulness. In like manner, he has no power in the appropriation and disbursement of money for improving or repairing the material property of the University. But that does not relieve him from the duty to exercise a general superintendence. Over the pecuniary interests and reputation of the Institution. He is guilty of no impertinence, but is simply exercising a prerogative and discharging a duty, when he calls the attention of the proper agent to the needed interposition; and exerts all the influence in his power to secure the needed improvement, or to arrest the impending damage.

This perhaps will suffice for that part of the University government that pertains particularly this chancellor, with its jurisdictions its duties and its powers.

(31)
Athens,
II. The second class of government in the University scheme is that which is under the Professors, severally, as individuals. In the Report, it is expressed in the following words: Each member of the Faculty is especially required to preserve order and enforce discipline in his own Department.

1. What is the jurisdiction of the government of each member of the Faculty? What are his prerogatives?



1st. He has the right to decide upon the qualification of an applicant to enter his department, after an examination, if he pleases, conducted by himself. It is supposed that no power in the Faculty can force on his Department, against his consent, an applicant who he has rejected. This does not mean though that he has power to eject without the consent of the Faculty, one already in his Department; nor that he is himself free from the danger of arraignment by higher power for capriciously or maliciously depriving an applicant of his rights under the Laws.

2nd. He can grade the students in his department according to his conscientious convictions of their comparative merits.

3rd. He can decided authoritatively the text books to be used in the topics severally taught by him.

4th. He can lay down rules intended to protect the furniture, the floor, and the walls in his room from damage and defilement.

5th. He can prescribe regulations for the control of students so as to facilitate his processes in his room, as for example, that they shall sit or stand while they are reciting; that they shall be ready to answer to the roll-call just as soon as the bell ceases to ring or after an announced

(32)
University of Georgia,
interval; that they shall bring or not bring their text books into the recitation room with them, &c. &c.

2. What are the duties of the Professor in exercising the limited government confided to him? The Law of the Trustees says he is especially required to preserve order and enforce discipline in his own Department. This implies:



1st. That he is to require orderly behavior in his room.

2nd. That he is to enforce punctuality on the part of the students.

3rd. That he is to exact improvement and proficiency in study.

3. What are the powers of each member of the Faculty in administering the government confided to him?



1st. He has no power to eject a student from his department or from the University. He may require a contumacious student to leave his room, and to remain away until he is prepared to make the amende Honorable for his personal offense; but his room and his Department are not to be confounded together, and the ejectment from the room may bring about unpleasant complications, since a higher governing power may interpose with the prerogative to look into the conduct of the Professor, as well as that of the student.

2nd. The Professor has the right, and is in duty bound, to summon before him the student charged with absence from the recitation on lecture, to consider the excuse given, if any, and to accept or reject it at his discretion, and ac

(33)
Athens,
-cording to his judgement.

3rd. He has the right, and is in duty found, to summon before him, also any student who misbehaves in his
room, or who shows signs of inattention to study, and remonstrate with him and admonish him, and
bring to bear on him whatever other personal influence that gives promise of working amendment.

4th. He has the right to report him to the power that is competent to inflict pains and penalties on him.

But in whose hands in lodged this power? Just at this point is there a difference of opinion growing out of conflicting interpretations of the Report adopted by the Trustees at their last session.

According to the interpretation of some the scheme provides that the Professor and Tutors, severally, are to report recusant students to the Chancellor in order that ultimate penalties, if necessary, may be inflicted upon them. Report what? Of course everything of which complaint may be made, which the individual officer is not competent to deal with, by way of penalty, viz: failure in punctuality of attendance; disorderly deportment in the room; and want of diligence in study.

1. Replying in general terms, it may be asked if the Chancellor monopolizes the general government of the students outside of the recitation rooms, and is the only power to be appealed to, to adjudicate and settle all cases issuing out of the recitation rooms, where is the governing power of the Faculty as a governing body? On the ground that complete power is vested in him, all disciplinary supervision and punishment for misbehavior, and remissness of duty by the students, the chancellor, upon the present suppo-




(34)
University of Georgia,
-sition, would have the right, by any process short of expulsion to remove from the University the student reported to him from the Departments, or, on the ground of non-proficiency in study charged against him, could refuse to let- him rise with his class. The Faculty, as an organized body. Then would have no governing power over the students at all: and all the potency of that kind would be vested in the Chancellor. This could not have been the idea of those able and distinguished gentlemen, who agreed upon that masterly Report; for, while they took one specific power from the Faculty and bestowed it upon the Chancellor, they took special care to state, that with this single exception, the Faculty is still retained in possession of all the other governing powers unimpaired, which it has exercised in all the past.

2. Again the Chancellors report last commencement, which furnished the occasion for the attempt to make more definite his powers, referred not at all to any embarrassment connected with recitation room government, but solely to incidents, and complications in the department of the general government of the students as members of the University. The want of power in this connection is that which was pointed out, and, to-remedy this deficiency, the distinguished and lamented Chief Justice of the State to appoint a Committee on the powers and duties of the Chancellor. His discriminating mind discerned the place in our complex system of government, where the deficiency



(35)
Athens,
of power existed, and, with extraordinary precision, he formulated a scheme, that remedied this deficiency; at the same time that it preserved unimpaired the two other classes of governmental authority in the University.

3 In addition, the Report declares that the chancellors powers should be commensurate with his responsibilities; and asserts that, it is all wrong for the public, for all parties inside the University and outside of it, to hold him responsible for that which he has not the power to control; and then if proceeds to endow him with adequate power. Now the Chancellor never has been held responsible by anybody, inside of the University or outside of it, for order and discipline, in the Departments, for attendance, and deportment, and improvement of students therein. The individual officers have been universally and exclusively held to such responsibility. But the avowed object of the enactment was to enable the Chancellor to meet all reasonable public expectations. Those able and discriminating minds then could not have irrelevantly conferred power on that officer to meet public expectations in a department in which the public have never held him to any responsibility at all.



4. But more, the individual Professors, whatever may be their theories on the subject, have never practically shown the belief that the Report of the Committee confers this power and duty on the Chancellor: for they continue to make their weekly reports, as they have always done, not to that officer, but to the Faculty met as an organized body. The Chancellor himself as a Professor, writes with his colleagues in making



(36)
University of Georgia,
these reports; and the Secretary of the Faculty. Not his secretary, receives them, and records them in the record book of the Faculty.

5. Again the Faculty as a body shows no symptoms of belief that the enactment last Commencement took any power from them in these premises, and conferred it on the chancellor. They not only receive all reports of absences from all the Departments, including the Chancellors, as has already been said, but they have a regular plan to deal with unexcused absences. When a student has five absences of this kind, he is reported to the chancellor, whose duty it is, as ex officio their executive officer to summon the young man, and warn him of his danger. In the performance of this simple thing the Chancellor exhausts his duty and his powers in the premises. Should the student contract two more absences unexcused, the Secretary of the Faculty writes to his parent or guardian; if after this two more are reported against him making nine in all. The Faculty send him home That body, by its practice, does not seem to suspend that any power in the premises has been taken from it, and lodged in the hands of the Chancellor.



6. Finally, if that officer has this supposed jurisdiction conferred on him, he is either invested with the right and power to investigate questions as between the Professor and the student, or else is under obligation to act upon the simple decision of the Professor: If the former be true, he is vested in some degree



(37)
Athens,
with authority and jurisdiction over the professor also, and has the right, and is in duty bound, to overrule, if not rebuke the Professor, if, on investigation, he be found to be in the wrong. For the authority. Vested in the Chancellor, authorizes and may require him to send the student home, excepting in a case of technical expulsion. But he should not be required to do this, and assume responsibility for it, unless he was satisfied of the necessity after an inquisition into the conduct of the Professor also. Now, no discreet man would accept of such, not power, but responsibility; and no high minded Professor would submit to such humiliation. On the other hand, if the head of the University is made under obligations to carry out the decisions of the Professor, then, his dignity is lowered, his prestige is gone and he is made the servant and the whipperin of the Professor. On the one supposition, he is made the despot of his colleagues, on the other, their lackey. Neither of these conclusions was intended by the wise and able men who formulated the enactment; and their legislation was not intended to change or modify the relations of the Chancellor to this department of University government. The present scheme then intends that each member of the Faculty, as heretofore, report his recusant students to the Faculty as a body.

III. The remaining class of governing authority is the Faculty as an organized deliberative body. This is composed of all Professors and Tutors, who represent the recitation and lecture rooms, with the Chancellor as ex officio their presiding and executive officer.

1. The jurisdiction of this body extends over the students



(38)
University of Georgia,
in all the relations the latter sustain to rooms, & halls in the University and to churches in town, in which they are required to attend on daily or weekly exercises. To this body reports are weekly made by the Professors and Tutors of attendance on prayers on recitation and on church on Sunday; to it complaint is made of failure of proficiency in study, or of disorderly conduct in the recitation room, that has passed beyond the power of the Professor to deal with and correct.


2. The Faculty as a body alone has the power to send the student home for inattention to duties: in the Departments, and for misdemeanors in recitation or lecture rooms: it alone decides as to whether a student shall be permitted to rise with his class; in its name, and by its direction, monthly reports are made to parents and guardians; and it alone can recommend to the Trustees names of students for graduation.



3. It alone of all the governing authorities in the University has the right to ordain rules and regulations, under the Laws of the Trustees, for the government of all parties connected with internal operations and processes, members of the Faculty, as well as students. Its schedules of recitation and Examinations control officers as well as students. The chancellor even, also as a Professor; no other power is competent to dictate to all the Professors and Tutors the principles, which shall govern them in specific cases, as for example, whether a student shall be marked excused or unexcused for a specified class of absences; it alone



(39)
Athens,
can ordain specific remedies of universal application for specific evils among the students, provided those remedies involve members of the Faculty, as the agents for their enforcement. In short, admitting and defending the limited governing powers of each member of the Faculty in his own department, it has exclusive general jurisdiction over the students in relation to the internal order and discipline in the University; is competent to adjudicate any case discipline under the general external government of the young men as members of the University, which the Chancellor may choose to bring to its notice; and in this last Department confided chiefly to the Chancellor, it has a power denied to that officer. It alone can inflict upon a student the penalty of expulsion.

Recapitulation and Summary

There are three governing powers in the University.

I. The Chancellor.



II. Each member of the Faculty.

III. The Faculty itself as an organized body.



I. To the chancellor is given with one exception. Chief control of the external government of the students as members of the University: He is to take cognizance of their habits, and their general department; and to him is given complete power without consulting the Faculty to adopt and process looking to the reformation of the disorderly student, if possible or his severance from the University, if any expedient short of expulsion. But it is made the special duty of each member of the Faculty to co-operate with him in the enforcement of discipline, in this department of University government. Besides to the Chancellor is committed the general superintendence of the interests and reputation




(40)
University of Georgia,
of the Institution.

II. Each member of the Faculty is clothed with limited power to enforce order and discipline in his own Department, and with the right in the last resort, when his own powers are exhausted, to appeal to the Faculty.

III. The Faculty as an organized body alone has the right to demand reports from the heads of Departments of instruction, in regard to the attendance, behavior, and improvement of the students; it alone can prescribe rules and regulations under the Laws, for the control uniformly of all parties in the University; and in the case of students charged with misdemeanors or remissness of duty in the recitation rooms, or halls, it alone is able to inflict pains and penalties; and its right to do so extend all the way from reprimand to expulsion. These three classes of governing authority in the University, so wise, so exhaustive of all the needed principles and methods of University government, and withal so easy of discrimination should never be confounded.

So much would I say in an attempted elucidation of the scheme of government for the University adopted by the Trustees at their session at Athens last year. Your honorable body are most respectfully requested to animadvert upon it, and to approve or disapprove it.

Further legislation by the Trustees is needed to define clearly the rights and duties of the individual Professors and Tutors in the general

(41)
Athens,
government of the students as members of the University outside of their relations to recitation rooms and public halls. This Legislation is needed not only for the guidance of the Professors but as a protection to them against inferences by citizens and students the Trustees, by their legislation last year, meant to rob them of all authority over students outside of their recitation rooms, and to release them from all obligation to maintain order and discipline in the general government of the University. It is clear that the Trustees last year took no power or responsibility from the individual Professors, which they transferred to the chancellor. The additional power conferred on that officer was taken from the Faculty as a deliberative and governing body, and it consisted in the right to apply at his discretion of the general government of the University all the college punishments on student except expulsion. Now, the individual professors never did have the right to inflict any University punishment on the student, and therefore none such was taken from him by the legislation last year, He remains precisely as he was before that action with all the rights and responsibilities essentially belonging to his office.

I would not presume to suggest to the Trustees, words and phraseology, but I respectfully recommend that they formally enact law containing some such ideas as those following;

1. By their action last year, on the powers and duties of the Chancellor, the Board of Trustees did not intend to -, nor did they take away any powers and duties from the individual Professors.



2. The individual Professors have jurisdiction and



(42)
University of Georgia,
authority over the students in the general government of the University. They have a right to investigate and discover offenses, and offenders, to interpose to prevent and suppress disorders; and any resistance to them, in the assertion of this right, is a resistance to the lawful authority of the governing power of the University.

3. It is here reiterated by the Board that it is the duty of every individual Professor to co-operate with the Chancellor in discovering offenses and offenders, to aid him in preventing and suppressing disorders, and that not as a posse -comitatus summoned by him, but as those essential vested with the authority, and sharing with the chancellor in the responsibility to enforce discipline. But their responsibility ceases after they have discovered offenses and offenders, and reported them to the chancellor, except in cases where the issue of expulsion from College is raised. That officer alone will be held responsible for the manner of dealing with the offenders discovered by him, or reported to him, except where the issue of expulsion is raised.



4. Should the authority of any individual Professor, in the general government of the University be resisted by any student or student, and thus a question be raised between such Professor and student or students, it shall not be competent for the Chancellor alone to adjudicate the case; but it shall be the duty of the Professor thus mistreated to arraign



(43)
Athens,
the party or parties before the Faculty; and it shall be competent for that body, in this case, to inflict any punishment, ranging from reproof up to expulsion.

(24 pages on the subject written in pencil in the margin)

5. In the absence of the Chancellor from Athens his powers in the general government of the university shall devolve upon the Faculty. The chancellor shall name a member of the Faculty who shall be Chairman of the Faculty in his absence. The Faculty when assembled shall have the right to inflict proper penalties on offenders among the students at once, or at its discretion, it may postpone all final action until the return of the Chancellor.



If all authority and responsibility in the general government of the University is limited to the chancellor, then the Professors, in that relation, are mere ciphers, and subject to the contempt of the students; and then also the chancellor becomes a mere scape-goat, unless he is vested with absolute authority over the Professors too. But no one advocates or would accept either of these alternatives.

Charles McDonald Brown Scholarship Fund
I have the honor to present the names and papers of twenty (20) young men, who are applicants for appointment under the Brown Fund, four (4) from the University, and sixteen (16) from various parts of the State, of these sixteen one applies for the Medical Department, seven for the State College, and eight for Franklin College. In addition to these one applicant from Dahlonega for the Medical Department. Mr. W.W. McAfee occupies a peculiar relation. A day or two after his examination questions reached the Ordinarys Office, he wrote me. (26th of April) that as it was inconvenient for him to be at Dahlonega of the 2nd of May the Ordinary had given his consent for him to be examined in advance of that day.

(44)
University of Georgia,
I immediately wrote him, that if he did so, I should respectfully decline to receive his papers: as for obvious reasons, you had required the examinations to be held simultaneously all over the State. Some time after all the papers had come in. I received another letter from him saying that the Ordinary had mislaid or lost his paper, and asking me to give him another examination. The letter was dated May 21st, I declined on the ground. (1). That to grant his request would be to give him an unfair advantage over his competitors; since the the examination questions had been in his consciousness since the 26th of June, and (2) that I could not furnish him with new questions without taking him out of the category of competition with others. I enclose to you his communications to me and his examination paper, which he has recovered. This has been sent me by him at my instance, that I might give the intelligent and mostly young man the opportunity to appear before you. The examination paper was received by me too late to send it to Augusta to be graded. I give here below a statement of the general averages of the young men now in the University enjoying the benefits of the Brown Fund. I respectfully recommend that you pass a rule to the effect that one having appointment shall lose it, whose general average falls below a designated number. This rule can be announced to take effect after the next Collegiate year.

Disorders of the Night of May 7th.
As the newspapers have made such a public scandal out of the disorderly conduct of a number of students on the night of May 7th. I suppose the Trustees will expect me to an expose of the disorder. Much of the published statements were misapprehensions, if not pure fiction. The students did not make any attack upon the police; they did not make any armed demonstration in the street with the intention to intimidate anybody; no violent or damaging hands were laid by them on any citizens property, no gates were taken off, no fences pulled down, and no inscriptions made on walls or fences. Obscene or otherwise, I was absent from the State at the time, and cannot give testimony as a witness. On my return, though I made as thorough investigation as I could, and these seem to be the facts; The Salvation Army, so called, opened their campaign in Athens that night. Some of the students

(46)
who were present learned one or more of their sensational songs. At about 11 oclock at night, some of the young men returning from the meeting to their rooms sang loudly in the streets one of those songs. A brave and faithful policeman interposed and requested or demanded that they should desist. This furnished occasion for some of the students to talk and sing piercingly and defiantly to the officer after they had gained the Campus ground. In response the officer followed them into the University premises and bravely collared one of them. The comrades of the latter gathered around, and, by words, induced the officer to liberate his captive. So far as I can understand no blows were given, nor were any threatened. As the officer was retiring from the campus, he says stones were thrown at him, the students say only one fragment of a brick was rolled down the walk after him, which did not strike him, nor was it intended to hit him. On this the policeman turned and warned those who were innocent of any disorder, to retire from the crowd, as it was his intention to fire into the company of those who were insulting and resisting him. This suggested to some ones mind the muskets in the armory, and he cried out, Let us arm ourselves with the University guns, Carried away by the impulse they rushed to the armory, no door was forced however. Access was already opened through a thin

(47)
Athens,
wall in the closet of the contiguous room, when, in military array, they sent messengers after one of the Seniors, who had some military training, and requested him to command them. What their object was, at that time, no one has been able to explain to me. On the arrival of their chosen Captain, some one or more cried out, Let us ring the bell, take off gates, and pull down fences. There was very general dissent emphatically spoken, out to this, and their chosen officer announced that, unless they proceeded to do something legitimate, and orderly, he would have nothing to do with them. On this the cry was raised, Let us go to the Lucy Cobb. Their officer responded, I will not go with you, unless you promise that you will go silently through the streets, and make no disorderly demonstration at the Institute. The mere presence of the Chancellor or any of the Professors, at this time, or at any other time, would have exorcised them of the spirit that possessed them. But I was absent from the State, and at the dead hour of Midnight, it did not occur to the police to wake up any of the Professors: Their officer then marched them around and around in the Campus, no one uttering a sound but himself, whether to drill them, or to cool them off, none of them could tell me. Having completed their evolutions in the Campus, which seemed to the newspaper reporter and other excited witnesses to forebode the most dire catastrophes, they took up the line of march in silence through the streets, accompanied by a crowd of students and others who walked along at a safe distance wondering what would happen next.

(48)
University of Georgia,
Arriving at the Institute, they staked arms and standing in the street, gave three cheers for the Lucy Cobb, saying and doing nothing else. The admirable lady, who presides over the Institute, witnessed it all, not alarmed but amused. Apparently greatly relieved by this exploit, they retake the guns, and marching in silence, until they reached the Home School, they greeted that female seminary, too with similar respectful cheers. Resuming the march toward the Campus, they encountered a committee of citizens, whom the police had awaked from their slumbers, and armed with a virtual flag of truce to treat with the boys. These their commander, in a summary way, requested or commanded to fall into ranks. If it was a command, it was obeyed, if it was a request, it was acquiesced in, and the ministers of peace fraternized with the mob and marched along with them for some distance, sharing with them their solemn silence. The line of march led the boys to the armory, where, without demonstration, the guns were restored to their accustomed places, and the members of the mob retired quietly and peacefully to their beds. It is hard to tell which was most conspicuous in the transaction, its lawlessness or its ludicrousness, I, of course, treated it for its lawlessness; and inflicted what I considered suitable and judicious punishment, upon all who I could convict of participating in it.

Athens,
Branch Colleges,
I attended the closing exercises of all the Branch Colleges. At Dahlonega, I conferred the Degree of Bachelor of Science, on two young men; There has been (already shown) a reduction of members during the past year; and the Commencement was not marked by the presence of large number of visitors and former students, as has been customary. But under the wise management of the able and distinguished gentleman, who has recently accepted the presidency, the Institution is becoming more systematic, an assuming more the essential forms of a College. The reduction in numbers as compared to former years is due, in part, to the fact the University has established similar institutions in other parts of the State, but Chiefly to the fact that, on account of a lack of funds, it has been compelled to exclude boys and girls below a certain grade, which classes serve to swell the numbers of the other two Branch Colleges. This Institution is greatly crippled because of the want of those pecuniary resources that are essential to the efficient existence of a College.

Milledgeville maintains its wonderful prosperity under the skillful administration of Gen. D.H. Hill. The Institution at Thomasville has greatly improved in the number and character of its pupils during the past year. The Teachers recently appointed seem to command the confidence and enthusiastic support of the Community. The institution has opened its doors to females also, and has therefore become


(50)
University of Georgia,
like the other two, a mixed school, all these Branch Colleges still maintain a fine grade of scholarship. It is my duty though to say to the Board that not a single student from any one of these institutions has been transferred to the University during the past year.

The Dormitories.
The Dormitory occupied by Mrs. Summey has been filled with students during the whole year, Mrs. Richardson has resigned from the other house, and I have engaged to fill her place, Rev. W.R. Stillwell of Zebulon, Pike Co. Mr. S. comes highly recommended to me by Dr. Hunnicutt, of this city, and Hon. J.D. Stewart of Griffin. He has already taken possession of the house.

Recommended for Degrees.
The Faculty recommend for Degrees to your Honorable Body the following named students;

Robert L. Johnson, who is recommended for the B.E. Degree, as soon as, he completed his course, received an appointment on one of the Railroads now building in Georgia. He is a young man of worthy Character and limited means, and he may not be able to attend Commencement, without losing his place. Should he fail to get leave of absence to receive his diploma in person, the Faculty unanimously recommend the Chancellor be authorized to confer it, and transmit it to him.

The Campus.
I quote from my last years report, The Campus has never been blessed with a suitable system of drainage. The consequence is that our walks and drives are hardly ever in a presentable condition; for every heavy rain scars them with incipient gullies. I beg leave to call especial attention to the main walk in front of the house occupied by Mr. Stillwell. Every hard rain makes a collection of water there, that makes the walk virtually impassable to persons on foot. I would be very much gratified should the Board find

(52)

themselves able to give instructions to elevate this spot, and another contiguous to it.

Library
During the past year the Treasurer of the Board turned over to the Faculty, of the Library Fund. Five hundred and twenty nine dollars and seventy two cents. ($529.72) Which added to One hundred and thirty three dollars and ninety three cents. ($133.93.) unexpended from last year made the amount of $663.65 to be used in purchasing books for the Library. Of this Four hundred and ninety four dollars, and sixty six cents, ($494.66.) has been expended by order of the Faculty. Total number of books purchased during the year 203. Besides there were donated to us 99. The total number of books then added to the Library during the year was 302. There is an unexpended balance of funds in the hands of the Faculty to the amount of One hundred and sixty eight dollars and ninety nine cents ($168.99) which they will cautiously invest in books.

Reports from Departments.
I have the honor herewith to transmit to the Trustees two Reports from Prof. W.L. Jones, M.D. with accompanying papers, one of the Farm, and the other on the Department of Natural History and Agriculture.

Report of Committee on Apparatus.
To the Trustees of the University; The Committee whose duty is to report upon the condition of Apparatus and Departments of Moore College respectfully report; That we have visited in our round of examination the departments under the charge of Professors White, Charbonnier, and Barrow. We found them neatly and well kept. Prof. Barrow asked for no apparatus for his department. Prof. Strahan, who represents the chemical department during Prof. Whites absence in Europe, only wishes the usual amount of One hundred dollars, to supply the chemicals for the ensuing scholastic year. This appropriation is customary and necessary to the successful work of their department. We recommend this appropriation be granted In the department of Physics, the gentlemanly Professor took great pride, in exhibiting his rooms. We found everything neat, clean, and in the language of the able Professor in perfect order. During the year, repairs have been made in the workshop of the department, and additions as follows; a Thermo-pilen ten, of (over.)

cells of battery. Battery Materials, a Secondary pile. But the Professor was compelled to refuse admittance to several students, for want of accommodation for them. And asked as the attendance in the Physical Laboratory is yearly increasing, the professor asks that an additional appropriation of One hundred and fifty dollars to the regular annual appropriation be granted, that will enable him, to supply the necessary appliances, and enable him to extend the training to all that may likely apply for it. These appliances will consist in additional work tables and cases, additional glass supply, additional apparatus; glassware, and instruments for physical measurement. We earnestly recommend that the appropriation be granted.

Report of the Committee on University Farm.
To the Trustees of the University; The Committee on the Agricultural Farm, through its local chairman, respectfully report: That Dr. W.L. Jones Professor of Natural History and Agriculture came into possession of the Farm, after the first of January, and with very limited supplies on hand, with one horse and two mules, to provide for, and as the land had been chiefly run under the preceding management on clean culture crops. (decided) that it was a wise policy to sow down in oats, most of the agricultural land, which was done. His object being to restore humus to the soil, to level the land, and to terrace, in order to prevent washing. He has planted but little in grain, and cotton, and chiefly for the experiments he is conducting. The result of which can only be ascertained at the end of the experiments. The Professor of Agriculture desires to lift the farm or plant out of the old rut in which it has been run for some years, and make it a model farm illustrated by the best agricultural appliances, and to infuse new ideas into the minds of agricultural students, if there are to be any, I would recommend that the Professor be sustained in his effort to popularize and dignify the Chair. Prof. H.C. Whites account with the farm has been examined and a net balance $32.46. has been turned over to Dr. N.L. Jones. Professor of Agriculture.

Respectfully submitted.

University of Georgia,
Report of Committee on Gilmer Fund.

The Committee appointed at the regular meeting of the Trustees in July last to investigate and report upon the relations the University of Georgia sustains to the Fund Sworn as the Gilmer Fund, respectfully submit the following; The will of the late Governor Gilmer contains the following provisions; All property not disposed of by the above clauses in this will, viz; my lands, houses and lots in Lexington, and all notes and bonds which belong to me, I give and desire to form a perpetual fund for educating teachers of reading, writing and arithmetic or to other wise increase the qualifications of the School masters in Georgia for properly instructing the children of the State. I hereby for this purpose commit the disposal of said the annual proceeds from said Fund in trust to my friends Asbury Hull, Lewis J. Dupree, Benjamin T. Hardeman, Adam Alexander, Robert Toombs, and Alexander H. Stephens. My Desire is that upon the death of my wife the said Trustees will proceed to convert said notes, bonds, lands, houses and lots into money (giving due indulgence to the makers of said bonds and notes and their securities) and to place the money so collected in the treasury of the State of Georgia, not doubting but that the Legislature will provide by law that a sum equal to the interest, which would

(63)
Athens,
be derived from said money, at lawful per cent, be paid annually to said trustees, and make said trustees a body corporate, they and their successors in office, and said trustees and those they may choose to fill such vacancies as may happen will make such rules as may provide in the best way for the perpetual distribution annually of the interest arising from said sum for the purpose expressed already. The trustees were never incorporated so far as your committee are advised, but acted as an unincorporated body, and vacancies in their number were filled by the Superior Court of Oglethorpe County, by virtue of its equitable jurisdiction over trusts. The fund in the hands of the Gilmer trustees amounted to the sum of Fifteen thousand dollars, which was invested in bonds of the State of Georgia. The annual interest arising from this fund has since the year 1877 been paid over to the Trustees of the North Georgia Agricultural College and applied by them to the purposes of that school.

Presumably this fund was applied to the use of the School at Dahlonega for the reason, that just before that institution was selected as the beneficiary of the fund the Legislature had passed an Act to establish a Normal Department of the North Georgia Agricultural College, and had provided in said Act, that the Board of Trustees should organize more fully and efficiently such Normal Department, and in connection with the State Board of Education adopt such rules and regulations as may be necessary and proper for the free admission of such pupils male and female, not less than one from each county, as may express the desire and intention of following the business of teaching.

(64)
University of Georgia,
The object, as declared by the Act, being to provide as early as possible a sufficient number of capable and efficient teachers for the common schools of the State, and to provide others as may be demanded, from time to time. The Board of Trustees were authorized under certain conditions to send such pupils, during the fall months, to teach remote schools not otherwise provided for, and to provide for their maintenance while so engaged. The Act further provides that pupils to whom certificates of proficiency, and licenses to teach shall be granted by the faculty shall not be required to undergo an examination or procure a license from any Board of Education or County School Commissioner before they can teach in any of the Common Schools of the State when they are employed by the patrons of the school. On 14th. August 1883 4. The trustees of the Gilmer Fund submitted to the Trustees of the University a written proposition substantially as follows;

1. That the Trustees of the University shall in proper form agree to receive from the Gilmer Trustees the fund in their hands and authorize their treasurer to receipt for the same, and agree also to reinvest said fund when received as soon as practicable in accordance with the Act of Sep. 30, 1880.



2. That the fund and interest there of shall be held and applied by them in accordance with the will of George R. Gilmer.



3. That if it becomes impracticable to reinvest in a State security similar to the one provided for by the Act of Sep. 30. 1880. at the expiration of the fifty years provided for in said Act. then said Trustees shall



(65)
Athens,
reinvest as other funds of the State University may be invested, but always to be kept as a separate and distinct fund to be used and applied in accordance with the will of said George R. Gilmer.

4. That the trustees of the Gilmer fund shall at any and all times be allowed to inquire into the situation, and disposal of the same by the Trustees of the University of Georgia, and enforce according to law the observance of said will and this agreement.



5. On the same day to wit: on the 14th August 18834 the Trustees of the University of Georgia, by formal legislation accepted the proposition of the trustees of the Gilmer fund, and said proposition and acceptance became a binding contract between said parties.



The fund was turned over to the Trustees of the University, receipted for by its treasurer and invested in a 7 per cent bond of the State running for fifty years, in accordance with the Act. Of 30th. Sept. 1880.
Taking the above contract and the will of Gov. Gilmer, together, it is quite clear to the Committee, and they so report;

1. That the said fund shall be kept separate and distinct and not used for the general purposes of the University, but shall be used and applied in the best manner practicable for the education of teachers of reading, writing and arithmetic, or of otherwise increasing the qualifications of the school teachers of Georgia that is to say, for the benefit of persons, who propose to make teaching their vocation.



2. That if said fund cannot be so used and applied, then the Board shall select such inside the University, then the Board shall



(66)
University of Georgia,
select such channel for its distribution as will will (sic) best effectuate the intention of Gov. Gilmer carry out the contract with the trustees of said Gilmer fund.

Having set out substantially the provisions of the Act relating to the education of teachers by the North Georgia Agricultural College, it is proper to state that the Act of Oct. 14th 1879. establishing the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College &c. contains among others the following section; Sec. 5. The course of instruction, in addition to Military training shall be especially directed.

1. To preparation for the higher classes at Athens.



2. For the business of practical farm life and mining, and.



3. For the profession of teaching. The teachers of the Common Schools of the State under the System now in existence, seems to correspond with the idea of Gov. Gilmers mind. The Constitution provides that the power of taxation over the whole State shall be exercised for educational purposes in instructing children in the elementary branches of an English education only.

Athens, July 9th, 1887.
Report of the Committee on the Branch Colleges.

To the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia; The Committee appointed to consider and report upon the condition and needs of the Branch Colleges, report as follows: We find the institutions answering to the description of Branch Colleges, namely the North Georgia Agricultural College at Dahlonega, in the County of Lumpkin, the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College at Milledgeville, in the County of Baldwin, and the South Georgia Agricultural college at Thomasville, in the county of Thomas. At the first there are now in attendance, one hundred and fourteen (114.) pupils, at the second there are Four hundred and twenty eight (428.), and at the last there are One hundred and eighty (180.). The instruction and government in each of them seem to be thorough and satisfactory, and the results are all that could be asked. The local boards and the faculty of each of them are evidently devoting themselves to their duty, in an unselfish desire and spirit and deserve all the assistance, that can be given, from the parent institution. We have no report to make recommending any changes in the internal management of these institutions, as we see no reason to object to the manner in which they are now being conducted, The Committee appointed to report upon the status of the Gilmer fund, having reported that it is subject to the disposition of the Board under the provisions of the will of the donor, we recommend that it be divided equally between the three Branch Colleges, with the proviso and upon the condition that it is to be used in accordance with the terms of the trust as declared in Gov. Gilmers will, we further recommend that a sufficient sum be added to the sums

(68)
University of Georgia,
thus appropriated to the Colleges at Milledgeville and Thomasville, to make the amount received by each of them fifteen hundred dollars, ($1500.00.) this to apply to the ensuing scholastic year. The bills referred to us, and proposed to be introduced into the General Assembly, we return without any recommendation, as to the intent of the action of the Legislature, but we will cheerfully recommend that the Board give its sanction in general terms, looking to the aid of these institutions through the Board of Trustees of the University, and we especially recommend that aid be asked to the extent of on an appropriation for insurance and repairs of all the buildings of the University, here and at the Branch Colleges.

I respectfully dissent from so much of the foregoing report, as recommend that the interest arising from what is known as the Gilmer Fund be equally divided among the three branch Colleges. I recommend that the whole amount be paid to the school at Dahlonega, as in my judgement the school at the place fulfils more nearly the conditions prescribed in Gov. Gilmers will in training and educating school masters in Georgia. Alex S. Erwin.

Report of the Committee on Laws and Discipline.

The Committee on Laws and Discipline have had under consideration the petition of the University Athletic Association, asking that a day be set apart each year, to be known as, Field Day. This petition was endorsed by four members of the Faculty and approved by the Chancellor. The Committee beg leave to report the following resolution:

Resolved. That in accordance with this petition, the first Monday in May each year be set apart for the students, of the University at Athens as a holiday; said day is to be known as Field Day, and to be devoted by the students to public exhibition of Athletic Sports.

We recommend that Sect. 4. Ch. VII Code of Laws for the government of Franklin College, (University of Georgia.) be amended by striking out the words convicted of, and by adding to said Section the following words; And any student expelled for this offense shall not be restored except by the vote of the Trustees; So that said Section, as amended, will read; Any Student sending or accepting a challenge to fight a duel, or whole shall carry such challenge, or be second in a duel or in any wise aid or abet it, shall immediately be expelled by the Faculty; and any student expelled for this offense shall not be restored except by vote of the Board of Trustees.

J.A. Billups Chairman.
and the other members of Com.

(70)
University of Georgia,
The Committee on Laws and Discipline, considering so much of the Chancellors Report as recommends further legislation to define clearly the rights and duties of the individual professors and tutors in the general government of the students as members of the University, outside of their relation to-recitation rooms and public halls, recommend the adoption of the following resolution;

1. By their action last year on the powers and duties of the Chancellor. The Board did not intend, nor did they take any powers and duties from the individual professors.



2. The individual professors have jurisdiction and authority over the students in the general government of the students of the University. They have a right to investigate and discover offenses and offenders; and any resistance to them in the assertion of this right is a resistance of the lawful authority of the governing power of the University.



3. It is here reiterated by the Board that it is the duty of every professor to co-operate with the Chancellor, in discovering offenses and offenders, to aid in preventing and suppressing disorder, and that not as a posse comitatus, summoned by him, but as those essentially vested with the authority and sharing with the Chancellor in the responsibility to enforce discipline. But their responsibility ceases when they have discovered offenses and offenders and reported them to the chancellor, except in cases where the issue of expulsion from College is raised, and such issue may be raised by one or more



(71)
Athens,
members of the Faculty, The Chancellor alone will be held responsible for the manner of dealing with the offender, discovered by him or reported to him, except where the issue of expulsion is raised.

4. Should the authority of any individual professor, in the general government of the University be resisted, by any student or students, and thus a question be raised between such professor and student or students, it shall not be competent for the Chancellor, alone to investigate the case, but it shall be the duty of the professors thus mistreated to arraign the party or parties before the Faculty; and it shall be competent for that body in this case, to inflict any punishment, ranging from reproof up to expulsion.



5. In the absence of the Chancellor from Athens his powers in the general government of the University shall devolve upon the Faculty. The Chancellor shall name a member of the Faculty, who shall be chairman of the Faculty in his absence. The Faculty when assembled shall have the right to inflict proper penalties on offenders among the students, at once, or its discretion may postpone all final action until the return of the Chancellor.

Report of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds.

To the Trustees; The Committee on Buildings and Grounds respectfully report, that for the year just closed the expenditures in this department have been $1267.89 exclusively of the High School building on the Experimental Farm and exclusive of the water rent, which does not in any manner come under the supervision of this Committee.

(74)
University of Georgia,
This is much smaller than the usual repair account and less than the appropriation. The deficit is due to the fact that the repairs were held down as low as possible, on account of the proposed action of the Legislation in providing for the renovation of the Dormitories.

For the next year the repairs are estimated to require the following sums;

Chancellors Residence. $350.00.
Campus $125.00.
Prof. Woodfins Residence 75.00.
Moore College. 40.00.
Belfry on Chapel 220.00.
Water Rents 200.00.
Dormitories 250.00. Drainage 300.00.
Recitation Rooms. 100.00. Sundries. 150.00.
Professors Residences. 250.00. Total. $2,060.00.

The Committee respectfully refers to the accompanying report of the Inspector of Buildings for the details of the above, and asks an appropriation for the purposes named of $2060.00. The Board appropriated for the repairs of the High School Building the sum of $175.00. The estimate of the Inspector of the cost of putting the building in order for occupation as a dwelling by the Professor of Agriculture, was $512.00. the Professor has expended the sum of $363.23 on the building and as the appropriation was only $175.00 he has expended 188.23 of his own money, and we respectfully ask that this sum shall be refunded to him. In addition to this there is required an expenditure of $100.00 on this building for absolutely necessary repairs, which cannot be longer delayed, as the building is suffering from exposure to the weather, and delay will rapidly increase the amount required to protect it. For the details of the expenditure referred to, the Board is respectfully referred to the accompanying document being a letter from Prof. Jones, and the vouchers for the expenditure. The repairs were most judiciously and economically made. All of which is respectfully submitted.

W.W. Thomas.

Mr Yancey asked time to write out his protest that he gave notice on Saturday afternoon, which was granted.

The Secretary read a telegram from Dr G.B. Strickler as follows Chancellorship respectfully declined

Mr Hammond as chairman of the Committee on Laws & Discipline made following report on Mr Yancey resolution which received & laid on the table.

The Com on Laws & Discipline to which was referred the proposed resolution to pay his expenses when attending Commencement out of the Funds in the hans (sic) of this Board Report adversely. In this they are unanimous though perhaps for different for different (sic) reasons.

Some of the reasons are that by the constitution we hold all appropriations by the State &c for the University & it is not clear that the proposed payment to ourselves for the purpose mentioned would be for such use. It would be singular if we had authority so to appropriate the funds in our hands to ourselves & without limit except our own sense of sight. No officer can take compensation for his work without a law declaring his right & fixing the amount or appropriating some tribunal to fix the same

(105)
Athens, July Wednesday 12 1888
The Code mentions Trustees and Visitors of the University. As to Trustees compensation of Trustees it is silent: that of visitors is then definitely fixed.

The mention of the one excludes the others

It is said that Trustees were once so paid We have not opportunity to examine that nor why or how; if so it was changed. But even if it be lawful for us to make such disposition of the funds we oppose it & therefor do not think an enquiring (sic) into the history profitable for this report.

If per diem & mileage or expenses it should be paid the compensation should be made by the Legislature upon its own motion

Mr Cobb offered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted:

Whereas in 1856 the degree of A.M. was conferred by this University on Joseph N. Whitner a graduate of the class of 1847.

And whereas by mistake the secretary entered it upon the minutes as John C Whitner.

Therefore be it resolved that the Secty be directed to correct said minutes to correct said minutes (sic) so that they shall show that degree of A.M. was conferred on said Joseph N. Whitner in 1856

(110)
University of Georgia,
To the Board of Trustees of the
University of Georgia,
Gentlemen

As chairman of the Faculty, I beg leave to present the following report.

But, first, the respect in which I hold the memory of our deceased chancellor, prompts me to pause a moment and pay him a tribute justly due.

Dr. Mell, with whom I was associated for twenty two years, and whom I had every opportunity of observing, possessed in the highest degree the qualifications necessary for an administrative officer. He had, at all times, and under all circumstances, perfect control of others. As an evidence of the success of his administration, we can print to the confidence in the University which he inspired over the State, as a consequence of which the attendance on the departments of at Athens, increased from 149, during the first year of his administration, to 215 during the present session. The intercourse between the Faculty and the Chancellor, during his administration, has been characterized by the most cordial relations and the greatest confidence in his ability to govern prudently and wisely.

When at your meeting, in February, you did me the honor to appoint me librarian of the Faculty, I did not receive information of your action until late at night after the Board had adjourned; and hence, had no opportunity to receive from the Board, instructions as to what course I should pursue. Upon conference with members of the Prudential Committee, I was informed that the Board was aware that the duties of my chair kept my time fully occupied, and that I was not expected to visit the Branch Colleges, as it is the Chancellors duty to do, unless I could arrange it conveniently to my other duties. I found that, thus late in the session. I could not arrange my course of lectures, so as to enable me to absent myself from the University for the time required for the visit to the colleges, which I concluded to abandon, regarding my duties here as of first importance, and I wrote to the Presidents

(113)
Athens,
of the colleges giving my reasons for not attending their commencements. Having thus been prevented from visiting these colleges have in report to make of their condition; the statistical information, above given, has been furnished in by their respective Presidents.

It has been the policy of the Faculty after the death of the Chancellor, to continue to administer the University in the line followed by Dr. Mell, as it was not deemed wise to make any changes, if any were necessary, during the course of a session already more than half advanced. I am glad to be able to state the fact that there has been during the year no flagrant breach of discipline; and that the relations between Faculty and students continue to be cordial.

I do not deem it my duty to make to your board any suggestions as to any changes, if any be necessary, in the administrations of the institution. Being only chairman of the Faculty, called to fill an interregnum caused by vacancy in the office of Chancellor, it would be out of taste in me to take advantage of the present occasion to lay before you

(114)
University of Georgia,
views peculiarly my own. The present moment bringing with it a change in the administrative head is a critical period in the history of the institution; and the situation should, in my opinion, not be complicated by the introduction of new measures, or changes in old ones. Nor can the University suffer by delay in making changes that might be deemed advisable. The institution has, under Dr Mells administration had a successful period of ten years; it can surely go on for a year longer without detriment to itself and further, the chancellor of the University, to whom is committed the general superintendence of the interests and reputation of the institution, of right ought to have a voice in shaping the policy of its management. I hold it would be unfair to the incoming Chancellor to load him with untried regulations or changes. I think it due to him that he should be allowed to take the institution as it stands. Our laws and regulations, under which we have been nurturing for ten years are sufficient for a year longer if they are firmly and wisely administered. If after the Chancellor has

(115)
Athens,
become acquainted with our customs and wants and with the views of his Faculty, he agrees with us that certain changes may be necessary, then will be the time for them to be presented to your Board.

The thanks of the Board are, I think due A.A. Lipscomb, the venerable ex-chancellor of the University, who consented, although in feeble health, to assist the Institution he had served so faithfully, and carry on the duties of Dr Mells chair during the remainder of the session. The Doctor, I am happy to state, has been able to carry on fully the duties of the chair, so that the instruction in the department of Ethics and metaphysics was unbroken save during the fin weeks of the fatal illness of Chancellor Mell.

The minutes of your Prudential Committee will furnish you the information about the establishment of the Experimental Station, under the provisions of the Hatch bill.

The fund for the year ending July 1 has been received and has been appropriated so as to equip the station and get it ready for work. It is highly desirable that

(116)
University of Georgia,
the fund in future, should be so appropriated as to bring the station, now established, to the high state of efficiency attained by those which have been for some time in operation in other states. Aside from its real use to our agricultural interests, a well equipped and efficient station will prove one of the best means of popularizing the University in our state.

(127)
Athens, July 9th 1888

To the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia

Gentlemen:

I beg to submit my report as Treasurer for the year 1887 1888 this statement has been somewhat delayed because of other pressing and imperative engagements connected with the discharge of my duties of my duties (sic) as Treasurer which have called me away from the city during the pass month and rendered it impossible that I should give that attention to the mere matter of accounts, which was necessary to have the statement in proper shape upon the meeting of the Board.

I desire to call attention to the following item of the report:

Expenditures on account of Branch Colleges during the past year appear to have amounted to $6493.80, whilst the appropriation therefore was only $5,000.00. The additional $1493.80 represents the amount expended for repairs at Dahlonega, and constituted no part of the $5000.00 appropriated by this Board. This expenditure from

(128)
University of Georgia,
the Legislation appropriation was made under authority of the act of the Legislature.

There appears also to have been expended on account of Repairs $1948.51, whilst the appropriation for this purpose was only $1710.00. By an examination of the appropriations made for the current year, the Board will discover that $190.00 was ordered to paid to Dr W.L. Jones on account of repairs. Adding this to the $1710.00, makes the entire appropriation for this purpose $1900.00. Therefore the amount expended beyond the appropriation is $48.51, and I took the responsibility of paying out of this sum in order to make certain changes in the doors of this, the Library Room, which seemed to me essential to the health and comfort of the students and other persons using the room.

The expenditures on account of salaries were $21619.75, whilst the appropriations only amounted to $21050.00. This overpayment resulted from the additional expenditures which became necessary and were authorized on the death of the death (sic) of the late lamented chancellor. I paid to Mrs. Well the salary of her deceased husband

(129)
Athens,
up to April 1st of the current year. Professor Charbonniers salary commenced on February 17th last. Dr Lipscomb was also employed to fill the chair which Dr Mell had occupied. An additional amount of $200.00 was also allowed to the treasurer on account of salary. Therefore the following expenditures, beyond the appropriations, on account of salary were ordered by the Board. Paid to Prof. Charbonnier as acting Chancellor $125.00
Paid to Lipscomb $250.00
Treasurer $200.00
575.00
Regular appropriation for salaries $21050.00
$21625.00
Deduct amount actually expended $21619.75
Amount unexpended $5.25

The expenditures of $8.95, over and above the amount appropriated on account of Chemicals, $100.00, is nearly met by the amounts collected from the students and not expended.
Collected from students for Laboratory fees $195.00
Of this fund, amount expended $192.72
2.28

(130)
University of Georgia,
Deducting from over expenditures of $8.95
$2.28
Leaves over expended $6.67

The over-expenditure on account of servants resulted from the absolute necessity of employing additional labor on the campus. Repeated notices were served by the City Council that the privy should be cleared, and a considerable portion of the $77.80 was expended in the employment of labor to this end. This work had to be done at night. There were changes in the labor during the year which caused a slightly increased expenditure. The work was as economically done as was possible under the circumstances.

The over-expenditure of $353.90 on account of printing resulted from the payment of bills which were rendered during the year 1886-1887, and which had not been rendered up to last Commencement. Fifty dollars was also expended for the publication of the letters of Dr Mell, which expenses was not considered at the time of the appropriation. This was done as the request of Dr Mell, and was to manifest interest of the University. The cost of the Catalogue above was $160.00 which

(131)
Athens,
was more than was contemplated by the Finance Committee. All of these matters will appear from the vouchers submitted to the Committee. The catalogue could not have been printed for any less sum. The price fixed was the result of competition.

I beg to refer to the accompanying statement of cash account.

Respectfully submitted.

To the Trustees:
The Committee to whom was referred the question of the establishment of the Experimental Station, especially in the matter of proposing a scheme for its organization and control, respectfully report that the amount of detail work necessary in its establishment and control, that in the opinion of the committee, it is difficult if not impossible of proper execution by the general Board.

To the Trustees,
Your Committee on Buildings and Grounds in making this their annual report transmit herewith the report of the Inspector, giving a full and complete exposition of the condition and needs of this department.

1. We recommend that the whole of the $5000 appropriated by the Legislature for repairs, be applied to the repairing and refitting of the Old College building as a Dormitory.



2. That the so much of the New College or so much thereof as may be necessary it be fitted up for Lecture and Recitation Rooms.



3. That the building known as Philosophical Hall be closed until needed instead of being torn down.



4. That the upper story of the Ivy Building be devoted to the accommodation of the Law Department, which absolutely requires increased room, and



5. That the other repairs mentioned below, be made during the next fiscal year.



If these recommendations should be adopted by the Board, appropriations to carry them out, will be

(138)
University of Georgia,
The Committee on laws and discipline make the following report upon the matters referred to it; we recommend

1st That from the proviso to the law. As to degrees the figures 50 be stricken and 75 be inserted; but they shall not apply to the class of 1888 and of 1889 as to its Junior year

2nd That the exercises of the University open on the 3rd Wednesday in September 1888 and annually hereafter and close the 3rd Wednesday in June annually.

3rd That the minimum age for admission into the College be hereafter sixteen years.

4th We think the present requirement of Scholarship for admission high enough when coupled with the increased age above recommended. We urge in future strict examinations and the rejection of any not qualified by the law of the University.

N.J. Hammond.
Chairman.

(139)
Athens,
To the Board of Trustees:

Your committee appointed to inquire whither (sic) the contract entered into with the governor of Georgia under date of March 30th 1872, has been complied with on the part of this Board, report as follows;

The contract provides that the leading object of the said College (referring to the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts) shall be without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including Military Tactics to teach such branches of learning as are related to Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts.

In the organization of the College the Board established the following Chairs:

1. Agriculture and Horticulture.

2. Analytical and Agricultural Chemistry.

3. Mineralogy and Economic Geology

4. Natural History and Physiology.

5. Industrial Mechanics and Drawing.

6. Physical Geography and Meteorology

7. English

8. Military Tactics.



The chairs of Analytical Chemistry and Meteorology are filled and form a part of the regular curriculum

(140)
University of Georgia,
of the College.

The same is true of Drawing & English.

Agriculture is taught as a Science and in a thorough manner, by a most competent Professor. In addition to class room work opportunity is afforded students to fix in their minds the principles taught, by illustrations in the field. Your Committee do not understand the contract to require field work or manual labor as a part of the work of the College.

The chairs of Mineralogy and Economic Geology and of Natural History and Physiology are now held by the Professor of Agriculture and Horticulture. It is hardly necessary for this Committee to say that it is utterly impossible for me Professor to do justice to all these important studies. In fact the time allotted to the other Sciences after giving due prominence and attention to Agriculture is so short that is amounts to neglecting these departments almost entirely.

Physical Geography, Industrial Mechanics and Military Tactics are altogether ignored.

(141)
Athens,
The last is taught at two of the Branch Colleges, but not at Athens.

If by the term Industrial Mechanics is meant Skillful handiwork in the Mechanic Arts your committee do not consider that the contract requires this to be taught, unless by implication though the establishment of the chair holds out the quasi promise that something relating to this subject shall be taught.

The obligation to teach Military Tactics is imperative, and your Committee believes that in question of expediency should abolish this feature, in the face of the expressed provisions of the contract.

The establishment of the Experimental Station renders it comparatively easy to supply these omissions. The main difficulty having been hitherto the lack of funds to pay the salaries of additional Professors the annual appropriation to the Station may be so employed as to relieve that embarrassment.
Your Committee respectfully recommend:

1st That the Professor of Agriculture for the present be assigned to duty as Director of the Experimental
(Adopted p. 88 written in pencil in the margin.)


(142)
University of Georgia,
Station and be relieved of the chairs of Geology and Biology

2nd That professor of Natural History and Physiology, who shall also be the Entomologist of the Station, and a Professor of Mineralogy and Economic Geology, be elected to fill those chairs.
(Adopted written in pencil in the margin.)

3rd That our Instructor in Military Tactics be elected provided that no detail can be secured from the U.S. Government who shall also assist in teaching mathematics.
(Adopted written in pencil in the margin.)

4th That lectures on Physical Geography by regularly delivered.
(Adopted written in pencil in the margin.)

Your Committee believe that should these recommendations be adopted, the Contract with the governor of Georgia will have been fully and faithfully complied with by this Board of Trustees.

3rd We recommend the appointment of W.W. Smith, of Washington County, 10th Cong. Dist. of Thomas L Felder, of Houston Co., 3rd Cong. Dist. and Walker King of Polk Co. 7th Cong. Dist. as additional beneficiaries.

The Committee on the Agricultural Farm and Horticulture. Respectfully report:

That Professor Jones has improved the Farm by laying off in terraces to prevent the washing of the land and in sections for experimental purposes in a permanent form. He is keeping a record of the same, showing what each years experiment was, and what was grown on the several sections and plats each year. The experiments of last year I have not before me to report upon to this body, but they have been reported in detail by Prof. Jones in his report to the Trustees, to which I respectfully refer for full information. The experiments in process this year are not now ready, and will not be ready until the end of the year.

The appropriation by Congress under the Hatch bill has been received, and though late in June has been expended and under contract, in order to prevent the loss of the amount as all money not expended by the 1st July would revert to the U.S. government for

(148)
University of Georgia,
the year. How the expenditures have been made for the Station the minutes of the Prudential Committee will show. There was not time to consult the Trustees by a call session nor could we wait the meeting of the Trustees in annual Session in July, as the law requires the amount to revert to the government of all sums not expended by July 1st 1888

To the Trustees of the University,

The Committee on Apparatus etc. respectfully report that they have inspected the laboratories and apparatus of the Chemical and Physical departments of the University and find everything in good condition:

The $200.00 appropriated for additional appliances for the Physical laboratory has been expended judiciously and the attendance on this course has continued to increase during the past session. The accommodation furnished by the room and apparatus were strained to the utmost to provide room for the students, and several had to be denied admittance because of lack of room. The Professor of Physics desires during the next session, to increase the facilities for laboratory work in the department of Electricity. There will be needed for these additional appliances the sum of $150.00 which the committee recommend be granted.

In the Chemical department the only appropriation needed is the usual sum of $100.00 for chemicals which we recommend be granted.

(150)
University of Georgia,
The prudential committee has set apart a portion of the fund belonging to the Agricultural Experimental Station to remodel and further equip the chemical laboratories so as to fit them for the purposes of the station as well as for the use of the students.

This work is now under contract and the result will be a great improvement in the efficiency and convenience of the laboratories.

To the Hon. The Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia:

Gentlemen:

As the meeting of the Commission on the School of Technology, held in Atlanta on the 5th inst, the following resolution was adopted:

Resolved that a Communication be addressed by the chairman of this Commission to the Board of Trustees of the University requesting them to adjourn their body at the close of the present session, to sometime about the 3rd Wednesday in September 1888, for the purpose of receiving and acting upon the report of this commission to be made under the 9th & 25th section of the act of the General Assembly approved Oct 16th, 1885.

It is my duty to lay this resolution before the Board. The Commission have thought it proper to take the action because they are informed by many members of your board that it is not competent for the Board to legislate except at regular sessions. Having neither your charter nor now the regulations of the college before us. Be deemed it necessary on our part, to bring the matter to your attention in this way. As the time indicated we will

(152)
University of Georgia,
be prepared to turn over the entire property in our hands, to your Board in accordance with the provisions of the act aforesaid.

It is our intention, if you cooperate with us, to open the school for students on the first Sunday in October of this year.

Asking your favorable consideration of this matter
I am
Very respectfully

To the Board of Trustees
The Committee on Law Department are pleased to report that for the year just closed the number of matriculates in this Department was twenty two, of whom nineteen will be graduated. This large increase is partially due to the fact that tuition in the Department was reduced to Seventy Five Dollars per annum, the Professors having ascertained that that amount was about the average charge in the leading Law Schools of the Union.

Resp. submitted
Pope Barrow Chairman

(154)
University of Georgia,
To the Honorable Board of Trustees.

Your Committee on Agricultural Branch Colleges ask leave to report.

That upon a carefull examination into the condition of The South West Georgia Agricultural College, and the contract between it and this Board we unanimously, recommend that the Board recognize it in full relation, and appropriate, out of the Land Script fund, so much money as may be proper and the Board may be able to grant. That the embarrassments which surrounded it, some three years ago, chiefly growing out of factions opposition of a portion of the citizens of Cuthbert, have ended, and the College is now in quite a prosperous condition. Especially so, when the fact is considered that no appropriation was made by this Board and tuition was paid by the pupils. For the past year the Local Board of Trustees report 85 male matriculates

In as much as the report from the North Georgia Agricultural College at shows that there are in attendance, or have been during the past Term, more than one hundred male students, we are of the opinion that under

(155)
Athens,
the contract that Institution is entitled to two thousand ($2,000.00) dollars from the income on the Agricultural Land Script fund. We do not think that female students can be considered at all in the distribution of the income of this fund. The Act of Congress making the division clearly contemplates male students only. In making distribution of the remaining three thousand ($3000.) dollars left of the five thousand ($5,000.00) dollars to be appropriated from this fund to the Branch Colleges, we have therefore taken no account of female students.

It appears that there are in attendance at Thomasville one hundred (124) twenty four males, at Milledgeville two hundred (203) three males, and at Cuthbert eight five (85), making four hundred twelve (412) in all. There are youths entitled, each of them, if entitled at all, to an equal participation in the benefit of this fund. No discrimination should be shown for or against any one of these boys as to the amount applied to his instruction. We have

(156)
University of Georgia,

therefore, concluded to divide the three thousand ($3000.00) dollars among these four hundred twelve (412) students in exactly equal proportion. This gives to each boy seven dollars and twenty eight ($7.28) cents and a fraction. For the purpose of making the distribution we therefore recommend that the sum of six hundred eighteen dollars ($618.97) ninety seven cents be appropriated for the benefit of the eighty five (85) boys at Cuthbert.

That the sum of nine hundred two dollars and eighty nine ($902.89) cents be appropriated for the benefit of the one hundred twenty four (124) boys at Thomasville.

That the sum of one thousand four hundred seventy eight dollars (1478.14) and fourteen cents be appropriated for the benefit of the two hundred and three (203) boys at Milledgeville.

The Gilmer fund stands upon a different footing. No discrimination as between sexes is made. We have therefore concluded to disregard the classification in the sexes and recommend the distribution of this fund among all the boys and girls in the Branch Colleges upon




(157)
Athens,
a bias of perfect equality. This allows the income on the Gilmer fund, being one thousand (1,050.00) (sic) dollars per annum, one dollar, nineteen and three fifths cents to each student. We therefore recommend that the sum of $201.60 be appropriated for the benefit of 168 boys and girls at Thomasville.

That the sum of $171.60 be appropriated for the benefit of the 143 boys and girls at Dahlonega.

That the sum of $102.00 be appropriated for the benefit of the 85 boys at Cuthbert.

That the sum of $524.80 be appropriated for the benefit of the 400 boys and girls at Milledgeville.

By this distribution Milledgeville will lack a dollar or two of receiving her exact proportion but we cannot make it more exact with out using fractions.

The above recommendations for the distribution of the income of the Gilmer Fund are based upon the assumption that Dahlonega has no contractual right to this fund. If we are mistaken in this assumption and if it

(158)
University of Georgia,

should appear that Dahlonega has a right to it then, of course, it is not necessary for us to make any recommendation at all as to the appropriation of the Gilmer Fund.

At a meeting of the Faculty of the North Georgia Agricultural College, the following Resolutions of Respect were adapted.

North Georgia Agricl College
Dahlonega, Ga.
Jan. 30, 1888.

Resolved, That, we the Faculty of the North Georgia Agricultural College, have heard with deep regret of the death of Dr. P.H. Mell, Chancellor of the University of Georgia, of which our institution is a branch.

Resolved, That we deem it appropriate to take notice of his death and give expression to our sorrow, in token of which the College exercises for this day have been suspended.

Resolved, That in the death of Dr Mell, our college has lost a strong friend, the state has been deprived of a highly gifted ervant (sic) and earnest patriot, the University and its branches of a judicious, wise and able presiding officer.

Resolved, That, we as individuals are called upon to mourn the death of a sincere personal

(160)
University of Georgia,

friend. It is with deep sorrow that we realize the fact that our annual commencement occasions will no longer be brightened by his encouraging and animating presence.

Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be forwarded to his family, to the Faculty at Athens and to the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the University and that they be published in the Dahlonega Signal.

The above is a true extract from the minutes of the Faculty.

Athens,
Resolutions passed by the Trustees of the Medical Department of the University of Ga. relative to the death of Chancellor P.H. Mell. D.D.L.L.D.

Our whole southern country was recently startled and saddened by the news from Athens, that chancellor P.H. Mell was dead. The State of Georgia deplores the death of so distinguished, and so able a man, the Southern Baptist church mourns the loss of her impartial presiding officer; the University of Georgia is overwhelmed with sorrow, and especially the Trustees and Faculty of the Medical College of Ga., the Medical Department of the University of Georgia, deplores the fact, that they will not be permitted to enjoy the Society, enthusiasm and encouragement which Dr Mell evidenced in the Medical Department, from his inception with the office of Chancellor.

From his early youth, he adopted as his rule of life, the advice of the Prophet, in quietness and confidence shall be they strength, his Ecclesiastical and Civic life illustrating it most conspicuous by in his dis-

(162)
University of Georgia.
tinguished Career.

Therefore resolved
That the Trustees and Faculty of the Medical College of Ga. the Medical Department of the University of Ga. set apart a page in their minutes book as a memorial tribute to Chancellor P.H. Mell.

That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to his bereaved family with their respectful confidence, and that a copy be sent also to the Trustees of the University of Ga.

(163)
Athens,
The Committee on Library respectfully submitted the following report,

The duties of Librarian have been most faithfully and satisfactory performed by the Librarian Miss Frierson.

It appears from his report submitted to the Board that the number of volumes added to the Library during the last year including political documents and reports, is four hundred and seventy volumes, of which three hundred and twenty were purchased, the others were contributed.

The daily attendance has varied from 24 to 75, and the Librarian states that it is with much pleasure she bears testimony to the uniform respect and courtesy of the young gentlemen who have never even infringed the rules but have always conducted themselves as gentlemen of the highest character.

Your committee is of opinion that the salary of the Librarian is inadequate. It is now two hundred and fifty dollars, and she is required to attend the Library from 9 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, with an

(164)
University of Georgia,
interruption of an hour at noon. In view of the efficiency of the Librarian and the time she has to devote to the duties of the place we recommend that the salary be placed at three hundred and fifty dollars. The salary of the Librarian is paid from the Library fees received from students and the receipts are sufficient we think to justify the increase suggested

At an extra meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia, Feby 1889, a resolution was adopted appointing a committee to inquire, and report whether the contract, entered into with the governor of Georgia under date of March 30th 1872, interesting the administration of the Landscrip fund under the the (sic) act of Congress of 1862 had been compiled with.

The duty of this committee was definitely prescribed. Its report should have been confined to the inquiry directed.

Instead thereof, the Committee arrogated the duty of organizing a faculty with the funds appropriated by Congress under what is called the Hatch bill. ($15,000 annually for a definite period) to establish an Experimental Station; and then say if such organization is consummated, the contract with the governor of Georgia will have been fully complied with by this Board of Trustees.

I was opposed to the adoption of this mingled unauthorized report. The report solved means that for 16 years the Board had palpably omitted to comply with the contract with governor, and the act of congress of 1862 donating lands to establish a College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts; but that if the Board would use the

(177)
Athens,
recent appropriation by Congress to establish Experimental Stations, it would be comparatively easy to comply with the contract of the governor of 1872 and the act of congress of 1862, for the future, and supply the omissions for the past 16 years.

Against such principle of moral action or legal administration of trust funds I protest.

I proposed to amend the report of the committee by substituting the words The contract with the governor in 1872 made in pursuance of the act of congress of 1862, had not been complied with.

This substitute was almost unanimously voted down only one Trustee voting with Protestant.

The substitute uttered a simple plain and indisputable truth. Yet it was unceremoniously voted down.

The committee say, that in the organization of the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1872 under the contract entered into with the governor, the following chairs were established,

1. Agriculture and Horticulture

2. Analytical and Agricultural Chemistry.

3. Mineralogy and economic geology.

4. Natural History and Pysiology (sic)

5. Industrial Mechanics and Drawing.



(178)
University of Georgia,
6. Physical Geography and Meteorology

7. English.

8. Military Tactics.



Of these 8 chairs only 3 were filled by persons not previously Professors in the University; the other 5 chairs were subordinate [Blank Space] to the established chairs of the University by no means too numerous for the previous University curriculum. These three persons were Dr Pendleton for the chair of English: Gen. E. P. Alexander for the chair of Industrial Mechanics and Drawing. Gen. Alexander declined the chair. The Board never filled the chair. The most important chair in the College left vacant for 16 years. Upon the resignation, after several years of service, of Dr Pendleton a scientific as well as successful planter. Gen. Wm M. Brown was elected to the vacant chair. He died in May 1884. The chair was made an annex to Dr Whites chair of chemistry, and the farm also placed under his direction continued to only 1886. When Dr W. Lewis Jones an eminent chemist as well as an experienced farmer for over 20 years, was elected. For 2 years that chair was practically ignored. The farm was really [Blank Space] for years; one horse, old fashioned imple -

ments, any improved instruments voted down, and though an experimental farm, run the principle of sustaining itself. The appropriations, from year to year being insignificant.

Protestant declines to go into father (sic) details, and contents himself by quoting admissions of the committee. That the chairs of Mineralogy, Economic geology, Natural History and Pysiology were almost entirely neglected.

Physical Geography, Industrial Mechanics and Military Tactics are altogether ignored.

The committee go on to say if by the term Industrial Mechanics is meant skilled handiwork in the Mechanic Arts, your committee do not consider that the contract requires this to be taught, unless by implication, though the establishment of the chair holds out the quasi promise that something relating to this subject shall be taught The committee do not understand manual labor as a part of the work of the College. The act of donation of congress to establish colleges in the different states, requires in totidum verbis, the teaching of the Mechanic Arts. The law making power and the condition of the grant differs with the committee. The organization of this College by the former

(180)
University of Georgia,
Board of Trustees, requires that something shall be taught relating to this subject of Mechanic Arts. Crude constructions of your committee should not be allowed to prevail. The leading colleges of Agriculture and Mechanics, if not all in the states differ with the Construction of your committee adopted by the Board; and teach such branches of learning as relate to Mechanic Arts, and also required the students to work in the shops both wood and iron, that the brain and eye should may be educated to apply the principle taught. This is Industrial Mechanics. Realizes the ideal of the new system of education the teaching how to do by doing

Your committee and the Board by the adoption of the report, have organized to fill such chairs, by the use and appropriations (the Hatch bill passed expressly to establish an experimental station) of the money, as you say will then be a compliance, hereafter with the contract of the governor of Georgia (and of course, with the act of Congress of 1862.

And yet the remarkable fact exists, that the report of your committee, and the Board, by its adoption and organizing there under, have ignored the imperative requirement to teach such branches of learning as are related to the Mechanic Arts.

For these reasons this protest is respectfully submitted to be recorded by the secretary on the minutes of the Board of Trustees.

Which was agreed to

On motion Mr Barrow the report as amended was then adopted and is as follows.

The Committee on Laws & Discipline beg leave to report.

Your Committee are of the opinion that the recommendation contained in this Chancellors report that the Board should enter into a contract with the directors of the Georgia Experimental Station for Scientific work for twelve months, after July 1, 1889, at the specific rate of $5500 be adopted by the Board, provided that the entire work contemplated shall be done for said sum and at the University.

It is further recommended that the Chair of Geology be abolished Jany 1, 1890





(207)
Athens, June 19th 1889
and that the Secretary inform Prof Spencer that his services as Professor will be dispensed with after that date & that until that date he discharge such duties as may be assigned him by the Chancellor & the Faculty.

All further recommended that in view of the fact the Experimental Station has been removed from Athens to Griffin that to Prof W.L. Jones be assigned the studies of Mineralogy and Geology, human physiology and hygiene and that said studies be added to the Chair of Agriculture for the coming year.

We further recommend that the annual appropriation of $500 for the farm be placed in the hands of Dr Jones for the purpose of discharging the expenses of the farm, publishing the result of the experiments conducted there & for the dissemination of practical and theoretical knowledge of agriculture.

Your Committee concur in the views Expressed in the report of the Chairman of the Faculty and the recommendations touching the manner of selection of essayist and speakers and recommend the adoption of the remedy proposed for the evil of what is know as cramming

Your Committee realize & fully appreciate the importance of the recommendation as to the necessity of new chairs, but the Board is confronted with the lack of funds to carry out the immediate creation of such chairs. We heartily recommend however that as soon as the necessary funds can be provided, and we express

(208)
University of Georgia,
the hope that the state will make adequate provision therefor, that the following chairs be created viz:

A chair of constitutional history & the science of Government.

A chair of general history.

A chair of sacred literature & the evidence of Christianity.

Your Committee cordially commend the purpose of the Chancellor in resuming religious exercises on Sunday, we are of opinion there is a rule requiring the attendance of students upon religious Exercises on Sunday and upon the attendance upon morning prayers. We urge the importance of strictly enforcing the rule on this subject & call the attention of the Faculty to the same.

We deem it impracticable under our present University system to go back to the old dormitory and tutor system and as to the employment of a proctor we find and suggest that if the finances of the College would allow the employment as such an officer that in the opinion of the Committee such supervision would be of of (sic) doubtful practicability at this time.

Your Committee recommend that in as much as incorrect impression are made and conclusions drawn from the publications in the newspapers of the daily proceedings of this Board that every member of the Board be requested not to Communicate for publication and proposition or increase brought before

(209)
Athens, Wednesday June 19th 1889
the Board on the action taken on any proceeding until such action shall be final and then the Secretary should be instructed not to furnish to any reporter for publication anything except the final action of the Board upon any matter that may be brought before it.

Your Committee further recommend that the course of study prescribed for degrees and elective courses in the University as outlined by the Chairman of the faculty in his report to the Chancellor be adopted in full together with all his recommendations contained in pages 10 to 25 inclusive except that part of the report requiring a deposit to be made to cover damages to private furniture. Your Committee beg leave to refer to to (sic) report hereby made a part of this report & not incorporated herein by reason of its great length.

Your Committee further recommend that the resignation of Professor Williams Rutherford be accepted to take effect at the close of the present Collegiate Year. In appreciation of the great worth, faithful services & devotion to the University your Committee recommend that the honorary title of Emeritus Professor of Mathematics be conferred upon him.

We further recommend that during the next College year he be requested to aid the Chancellor in discharge of his honorous work such as may be mutually agreeable to that for such services he receive the sum of $100000.

Your Committee further recom
(210)
University of Georgia
mend that the chair of mathematics & civil Engineering be united and the same be designated as the Chair of Mathematics and Engineering & that Prof David C Barrow Jr be assigned to said chair.

Your Committee further recommend that Prof C.M. Snelling be elected Adjunct Professor of Mathematics & Engineering and that his salary be fixed at $1500 & that the duties of said adjunct professor be discharged by him in addition to his present duties for said salary.

Your Committee further recommend that the Commandant be invested with authority to maintain & enforce good order & obedience to by arrests, by imposing such fines or demerits, on refractory or disobedient students as he may deem reasonable and necessary and to that end that each student be required to deposit with the Treasurer the sum of ten dollars as a fund for that purpose.

Your Committee further recommend that the election of Prof John P Campbell to the chair of Biology be made permanent.

Your Committee further recommend the adoption of the following resolution.

At the request of the professors of Geology and Biology.

Resolved that the Treasurer shall return all current fees of the year to two students in each department, who shall have been chosen by the Professors of said departments.

(211)
Athens, Wednesday June 19, 1889
Your Committee further recommend that that there be no change made in the use of Rock College & that it be used in the future as at present until other wise ordered by the Board.

Your Committee beg leave to further report on the Hammond resolution which was referred to Your Committee.

That no material evidence having been submitted to the Committee, & being unwilling to recommend action based on the sayings of others and mere common rumor, the Committee respectfully beg leave to report back to your body said resolution.

The Chancellors Report

To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia.
Gentlemen;

For a detailald detailed account of internal administration of the University during the scholastic year just closed I beg to refer you to the report of the Chairman of the Faculty herewith submitted. The Board is no doubt already aware that to Prof Charbonniers tireless & self denying labor the University is largely indebted for the prosperity and peace of the past to terms.

It being fully apparent that I could not with propriety leave my pastoral work in Memphis in time to render efficient service in the class room, I determined after consulting with the Vice President & other members of the Board to devote my attention to matters connected with the Experiment Station and Farm, to the inspection of the Branch Colleges and to organizing the Alumni into local clubs, with a view to awakening fresh zeal in Higher education and ultimately securing from public & private sources that endowment for the University which is the essential condition of its progress.

The Branch Colleges

During the month of March the schools at Milledgeville, Thomasville, Cuthbert, and Dahlonega together with the Technological school at Atlanta were visited & Examined with the resulting conviction that all of them

(217)
Athens, June 1889
The Chancellors Report.
are doing good, but with widely different ability.

At Dahlonega & Milledgeville only do I find that the military drill is maintained, which understand to be required by law under which the Landscript Fund is enjoyed. In some of these schools classical training seems to be falling into neglect. I recommend that the Board provide for close & friendly relations between the University & these Branches. In the almost total absence over wide areas in Georgia of Schools which can prepare students for the University, our Branch Colleges should do that for us. That they send so few to us at present is due in my opinion to two causes chiefly The want of close connection and sympastry between them & us and the low state of education in the State. Without raising, there fore the unnecessary question of the wisdom of point of differences as I am told, among ourselves it seemest wisest of us, under existing conditions, to make the best we can of that system which is by law established. I unhesitatingly recommend that you welcome any well sustained applications for establishing new Branch Colleges until at least one of them is placed in each of the ten Congressional Districts of the state, it being of course provided that thereby no additional burdens be laid upon your Treasury, already overburdened & wholly inadequate to meet pressing demands.

This being done, frequent & friendly communication should be maintained between

(218)
University of Georgia
The Chancellors Report
the University, as the head, and these schools as it members. The local Boards of Trustees and the Faculties of these schools welcomed good suggestions. The idea should be dwell upon that the Branch Colleges are the connecting link between the common schools and the University. And to this end, among other things we should discourage as far as possible the conferring by them of Literary Degrees, as manifestly tending to turn away our youth from the thought of University education.

Removal of the Experiment Station
The Board has been fully informed through the public prints that the removal of the Experiment Stations & Farm is an accomplished fact. This seems to have been the intention of the Calvin Act. Dr White labored with me most faithfully to avert as far as possible any injury to the University. And it gives me pleasure to say that to his zeal prudence & ability we are largely indebted for any success in this respect. The Directors have offered to Contract with the University for all the Scientific work for 12 months after July 1st 1889. I recommend that you order the contract to be made & the work done at the specified rate $5500 per annum.

Of course this change raises some important questions of finance, the solution of which is left to your wisdom. It remains for you to decide what retrenchments, if any, must be made.

(219)
Athens, June 1889
The Chancellors Report
And if any, then what can be done with the least injury to the University and to our system of Education. Meanwhile I call your attention to the fact that Dr Jones, Professor of Agriculture, will be released from all responsibility as regards the Experimental Station & Farm. This leaves him free to do other work for the University. After conference with him I suggest that you consider the policy of appointing him deliver in each of the Branch Colleges a series of Lectures, five or more in number, on Agriculture. Of these lectures due notices should be given by the local Boards of Trustees and the general public be invited to be present. The eminent abilities of Dr Jones could not fail to make these lectures a source of good to the youth and all others who hear him speak. The plan would fall in with the Federal and State Governments in seeking to develop a great interest for the good of the entire people, while at the same time it would draw closer the bonds of union & sympathy between the University & its Branches.

Besides this Prof Jones might be appointed to conduct studies in the University upon Human Physiology & Hygiene a subject wholly omitted by us, but carefully laughs in other institutions. It bears directly upon health & longevity, affording to the Professor the amplest & facilities for putting pupils upon their guard against the evils of dissipation, luxury, & all abuses

(220)
University of Georgia
The Chancellors Report
of the body. The two suggestions are not inconsistent one with the other.

Memorial as to Finals & Speakers I beg to invoke your careful & favorable consideration of the Memorial herewith presented by the Faculty. The matters embraced in it have exercised their thoughts for a long time. The evils complained of are great and open the remedy suggested is reasonable the agreement of the Faculty is remarkably complete. I earnestly beg that the Board will indulge us in our attempt to root out the infurious habit of Cramming, and to save for the seniors the large portion of their last year in the University which is now wasted to their injury & the injury of every student in the lower classes. The weeks of idleness which now precede the Commencement are a great, great evil to all concerned. We are fully persuaded that the public speaking will be of a more creditable degree of excellence & that for some young men the preparation of written essays, - as in the case in other institutions would be far better.

New Chairs Needed.
I would respectfully ask the Board to take into consideration the necessity for providing additional chairs in the University just so soon as you can obtain the money therefor. If the University be correctly described by Jefferson, as a school in which all

(221)
Athens, June 1889
that we need to know is taught in its highest perfection, then surely we should make room forthwith for these studies among others; A Chair of Constitutional History & the Science of Government (which proposes to prepare effectively the young citizen for his future duties by acquainting him thoroughly with the facts & spirit of the institutions under which he is to live: A Chair of Logic and Elocution (which deals especially with the power of the citizen to communicate effectively what he knows for the benefit of others;) A Chair of General History; A Chair of Human Physiology and Hygiene; A Chair of Sacred Literature and the Evidences of Christianity, such as has been for many years taught with great profit in the University of South Carolina and is being introduced more an more into a number of the best Universities & Colleges at the North.

Besides these new Chairs we require for the best results in teaching the appointments of additional assistants in the departments of Physics & Civil Engineering. Your Chancellor should not be required to consume a third or more of his time in correspondence, when he might be enabled to give it to other work if only a competent Secretary were given him. A Proctor or Marshall to do police duty in the grounds of the University & to protect public property from injury by students or by the many strangers who roam at will over the Campus, is employed with profit

(222)
University of Georgia
The Chancellors Report
by other Universities in America and Europe.

Religious Services
I take occasion to notify the Board that it is my purpose to resume the Sabbath afternoon services which have in former times proved so very beneficial to the Students on Sabbath & also at morning prayers. I am credibly informed that the measures now employed fall far short of it. The system of having Monitors in each class works admirably in other institutions known to me.

Tutors and assistants residing in the Dormitories
I further ask the Board to consider the great benefit in other Universities of having the Tutors or Assistant Professors to reside in the buildings assigned to the students as dormitories. As a means of promoting order, morality and studious habits among undergraduates I can think of nothing which would prove more beneficial. It is confessedly the chief sources of excellence in Oxford and Cambridge England.

The Law and Medical Schools
The attention of the Board is called to the loose, merely nominal relations heretofore subsisting between the University proper and the schools of Law & Medicine. In thoroughly equipped universities a very different state of facts is found

(223)
Athens, June 1889
The Chancellors Report
to exist. The University is, in public opinion, held responsible for what is done in its name by these schools. It should therefore, for self protection, & for the good of the Commonwealth, exercise a closer supervision over them. And particularly with reference to the state of Medical Education in Georgia so I invoke your early & serious consideration. Members of the Medical Faculty have in any presence lamented and denounced the crying evils of thrusting so many educated or almost wholly uneducated men into a Profession which deals with the lives of people. Able physicians & intelligent citizens all over Georgia are shocked and alarmed by the growing proportions of this evil. It is here respectfully submitted that the University should not wait to be criticised justly for failing to use its power to aid in abating such injury to society.

The Rock College
The Board will surrender that the removal of the Experiment Station & Farm raises the enquiring, what shall be done with the valuable property which has been thus vacated? I recommend that you empower the Prudential Committee to lease it for a term rent free, to responsible parties who shall agree to establish there a Preparatory School for Boys with good accommodations for boarding them at reasonable rates. This would be carrying out the purposes for

which the buildings were erected at such heavy cost, and at the same time endearing to supply the greatest want of our State good academics for preparing boys to enter the University.

Of the total attendance at the Branch Colleges there are:

1060

The attendance has been less this session than it was the last. This was to be expected on account of the regulations passed at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees, making known the minimum age for admission, and urging strict examinations for entrance.

(235)
Athens, June 1889
Acting Chancellors Report
Under these rules a number of applications had to be refused because the applicant was found to be under age; and a number of young men who came here to stand their examinations for admission, had to be refused matriculation, because of inefficient preparations, in the class for which they applied. In the case of those applying for the Freshman class, they had to return home, as we have no preparatory department; in the case of those applying for higher classes, a few returned, rather than enter a class below that for which they thought themselves qualified; the others, however, stood examinations for admission into a lower class, which, if prepared, they were allowed to join. The result has been that students admitted to the respective classes have been well up to the requirements and the work of the classes has been more satisfactory. No one can cast the slightest doubt upon the wisdom of the rules above mentioned. They may, and no doubt will for a while, our attendance, but the efficiency of a University should be judged not by the number of students in its halls, but by the proficiency of its graduates, and while of course, proper if forts should be made to invite here and secure the attendance

(236)
University of Georgia,
Acting Chancellors Report
of as many properly qualified students, as our teaching force will warrant, the efficiency of the institution given should not be endangered by lowering the standard, for the sake simply of a larger attendance of imperfectly prepared men. The fault is this, want of preparation is largely with the school of the state. There are but few of them that send us properly prepared students. The schools, on their side, have been complaining that the University admitting boys at 14, and the boys or their parents having anxious to come or have them get through college, it was not possible for them the schools to keep the boys long enough for sufficient preparation. Again, complaint has been made that the University admitted boys, who had been advised by their teachers themselves against coming here, because they were not sufficiently prepared: or again that a boy would apply here and be admitted on probation to a class higher than that for which he had been prepared by his teacher; that boy, thus admitted, would write home and encourage others to come to the detriment of the school There has been foundation for these complaints, and there is no doubt that the policy to obtain numbers, has caused us to admit students; on probation who were not prepared. I have myself always

(237)
Athens, June 1889
Acting Chancellors Report
condemned that policy. My observation has been that, with very few exceptions, a boy, thus admitted on probation, becomes discouraged, soon despairs of making up and becomes a drag on the classes. Then one of the two things happens. Either, the boy, having become a mere hanger on, struggles on to the end of the session and leaves then to go elsewhere, or abandons, discouraged in mid session, baming (sic) [blaming] us for having allowed him to do what he now has found out to be to his disadvantage; or, and this is far worse, the boy becomes reckless, loves pride, goes into bad habits, has to be sent home, and then the parents blame us. In either case, the university loses a friend, and makes an enemy. It may be said that a student is not admitted on probation, without earnest advice being given him against that course, that he is pointed out all the difficulties and all the dangers to which he exposes himself by entering a class for which he is not prepared. In the large majority of cases, the student will not take the advice, and knowing, that if he insists or his parents for him, he will be admitted on probation, he will enter the class on probation impelled by a foolish pride. The enforcement of the rules will

(238)
University of Georgia,
Acting Chancellors Report
now correct the evil complained of by the schools. The teachers of the state may now be confident, first that they can retain boys until they are (blank space); and secondly, that no one will, hereafter be admitted to the University until upon a strict written examination, he has shown himself competent for the class to which he seeks admission.

The rules have been enforced in their letter and spirit. At the opening of the session examinations were held before a committee of the Faculty. The papers were graded and the results reported to the Faculty who passed on each case separately. The result was that few of the applicants were admitted to the classes for which they were examined. Many upon proper advice, then applied and were examined for lower classes: the others withdrew; but the Faculty stood firmly upon their decision against the protest of the boys and in some cases of their parents. I hope however, that I (blank space) with all cases in showing the parent that our action was based on kindness to the boy.

On the other hand, it is will to state that when a boy applies for a class, and upon examination, is found unprepared and has either to go home, or enter a lower class, this will in a few years, awaken

(239)
Athens, June 1889
Acting Chancellors Report
the schools to do their part, and inquire more carefully in to the requirements for admission.

The enforcement of our rules for admission takes away all grounds of the complaint on the part of the schools, the University now may look to the schools to send to its departments young men well prepared and grounded on the elementary branches of education.

The consequence of the increase in the number of the members of the faculty of Franklin College of the State College, made as the last meetings of the Board of Trustees, it has become necessary to revise our scheme of studies required for degrees. The schedule of studies being already full, it was impossible to put in additional hours for the chairs newly established. For the present session we have been working under a temporary schedule, in which provision was made, in a measure for the new professors, and meanwhile, the Faculty has been considering the question of modifying our scheme of courses for degrees was to adapt it to our present organization.

The scheme under which we have been working has not been satisfactory, and for some time past, we have been discussing the

(240)
University of Georgia,
Acting Chancellors Report.
policy of proposing changes.

The principal objections to the present scheme are:

Too many degrees; -

Too small a difference between them; - The master of Arts course, crowded in a time too short for the proper study of its requirements;

No advanced course in science corresponding to the masters course in arts; no system of post graduate courses, offering to graduates of other institutions an opportunity of carrying on their studies to (blank space) special ends.

The plan, now proposed, is simple, overcomes the objections above noted and in addition, offers courses of advanced instruction in all departments for those who desire to become specialists in one or more branches of learning.

The plan proposed.
Two Baccalaureate Degrees, viz:
Bachelor of Arts
And Bachelor of Science
Two Post-graduate Degrees, viz:
Master of Arts
Master of Science
One State college degree, viz/
Bachelor of Agriculture
And the following Professional Degrees, viz:
Bachelor of Engineering

The scheme is the outcome of much thought and investigation on the part of the Faculty, and is presented for the adoption of the Board of Trustees with entire confidence in the success of its practical working.

The scheme is now presented in detail as unamiously (sic) passed by the Faculty:

Students not having obtained a Baccalaureate degree, but desiring to pursue any special course, will be admitted, provided they are over 18 years old, and provided they pass satisfactory examinations upon such subjects as would show on their part a knowledge

sufficient to enable them to derive benefit from the special course they wish to pursue.

Upon the satisfactory completion of their course they will be entitled to a certificate in the department or departments taken; said certificate will entitle them to bring as Alumni of the University; their names appearing as graduates in the departments taken by them, in all the official publications of the University where the names of graduates appear.

Work required of students.
In each of the above described courses, the work required of students would be about 20 hours per week of Lectures and Recitations. Experience has shown to the Faculty, that this requirement is not an

The Faculty recommend the passage by the Board of Trustees of the following regulation, viz;

Every Student shall annually be required to make a contingent deposit of $10.00/100 with the Treasurer, against which sum is to be charged any loss, breakage, or damage to apparatus,

(248)
University of Georgia
Acting Chancellors Report
materials, buildings or other College property, when accused by the Faculty or by the Heads of departments, - when loss occurs in any department against an individual, class or body of students. The balance remaining to his credit to be returned each depositor.

It is evident that students in the laboratory, handling University property, should be held responsible for damage there to due to carelessness, or merely to deterioration from use. Again, every year it is necessary to spend from two to three hundred dollars for repairs due to willful abuse, carelessness or accident; such as for instance, the greasing of black boards, abuse of recitation rooms furniture, breaking of doors, locks and window glass, cutting up benches and desks, losing books taken from the library. There is no reason why the University should pay for these, but every reason why these damages should be assessed on the students. The only practical way of doing it is the requirement of a contingent fee. If there is no damage done to property, the fee save in the cases where a small percentage would be charged for the use of apparatus and of material in the laboratories, would be returned at the close of the session. A proper system of rules would, of course,

(249)
Athens, June 1889
Acting Chancellors Report
be established, was to assess the damages on the proper parties; but when these could not be found, then on the whole body of students. It would thus enlist every one on the side of order and care of property.

I think that the furniture of the college boarding house keeper should be included within the rule. It is true that this furniture is not College property, but his own private possession; still it is used for college purposes, and I think it would be well to afford him some protection. The keeper of the house has had much trouble from breaking of furniture by what is apparently willful abuse. It would be advisable that the occupants of each room should be made to pay for the actual cost of necessary repairs of damage (blank space) by abuse or carelessness, said cost to be charged against the contingent fee.

I am requested by the Faculty to transmit to the Board of Trustees the following extract from our minutes:

The Committee also reported the following, which was unamously (sic) passed, and which the chairman was requested to forward through the chancellor to

(255)
Athens, June 1889
Acting Chancellor Report
I enclose in separate envelopes, the certificates, and examination papers and all the information required under the Rules for the administration of the fund, in the case of each of the above named applicants.

From the above it appears that the number of applicants from outside the University, was only two; it is, therefore, proper for we do remark that the number was much larger. Correspondence was carried on with sixteen parties; most of them declined to make application after becoming aware of the character of the examination they would be expected to stand for the Freshman Class. Seven had the Questions for Examination sent for them to the ordinary of their respective county; five of these returned the questions, with the statement that they could not stand the examination; two of them sent back answers as noted.

I am informed by Major Lamar Cobb, that Mr. T. J. Shackelford, who was a beneficiary of the Fund, during the sessions of 1887-1888, desires to receive its benefits during the next session.

Mr Shackelford was a member of the
(256)

Sophomore class, and made an average of 93 46/100

I shall be happy, Mr Chancellor, to give you, or through you to the Board, any further information you may desire.

Very respectfully

The Hon. Board of Trustees
University of Georgia:

Gentlemen: -
The Board of Directors of the Georgia Experiment Station, at its regular meeting in May last, adopted the following resolution, to wit: -

Resolved: - that, in the absence of the proper laboratory buildings at the place selected for the Farm and Station, we accept the offer of the Trustees of the University of Georgia to employ the scientific staff of the University to carry on our scientific experiments for the year beginning July 1889 and ending in 1890, paying for the same $5500.

I am instructed by the Board of Directors to respectfully notify your honorable body of this action and, in explanation of the above Resolution, to say, that it is the understanding of the Board of Directors that the University will furnish to the Station the services of a chief chemist an assistant chemist, a Meteorologist, an Etomologist (sic), and a geologist for the sum of money named, to be paid in equal quarterly installments, said sum having been estimated upon the basis of the salaries now paid to the officers designated, for their services to

Report of Committee on Apparatus.
To the Trustees:
The Committee on Apparatus by its chairman, has inspected the Apparatus of the University in the Departments of Physics, Chemistry and Engineering, and takes pleasure in reporting that it is in perfect order.

Nothing in the way of Apparatus is needed in the department of Chemistry. It is believed to be as thoroughly equipped as any in the country. Only the usual appropriation of $100 for chemicals is asked for, in this department.

The Department of Engineering needs a magnetic compass for field surveying. The University has none except a small folding sight instrument, not adapted for illustrative work. We ask and recommend an appropriation of Forty Dollars, for this purpose, which will secure a reliable and improved instrument.

For the Department of Physics, we ask and recommend the usual appropriation of $100 for repairs of apparatus and materials.

The greatest need of the University in the way of Apparatus, at this time is a Dynamo and a gas engine to operate it, to furnish electricity at the

(261)
Athens, June 1889
Report of Committee on Apparatus
high tension now required in this most progressive branch of science. Our outfit of apparatus cannot be said to be up to the times without such an appliance.

A Dynamic for this purpose would also furnish light for the Chapel the Campus and for other purposes and would cost $1200.

The Committee recommend that the Board take steps to supply this apparatus, now or as soon as possible hereafter.

Respectfully submitted for the
Committee

Report of Board of Control Experiment Station
The Board of Control of the Experiment Station submit the following report: -
Upon its appointment the Board found the Station organized and by the expenditure of the first annual appropriation of $15000. Equipped for thorough work in field and laboratory. The work of this Board has consisted in making an appointment of the sum received from the general government for the various purposes of the Station and in Authorizing the employment of officers and assistants by the Directors. For the detailed work of the Station we refer to the report of the Director and the quarterly bulletins issued from his office. As required by law, a report of the expenditure of the appropriation for 1887-88 was made to the governor early in February last and a copy sent to the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington.

By an act of the Legislature of Georgia passed last December the control of this fund was taken from your hands and lodged in a Commission appointed by the governor. By consent of this Commission the balance of the present years appropriation excepting about $2000. was left in your hands to carry out engagements previously made and to

(263)
Athens, June 1890
Report of Board of Control Experiment Station
complete the work of the Station already undertaken.

With the final expenditure of this balance at the close of the present month, your committee conceives its duties will have come to an end and respectfully ask to be discharged.

A.L. Hull, chairman
For the Board of Control.

University of Georgia,
Report of Director of Experiment Station
To the Honorable the Board of Control of the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station.

Since the report I had the honor to make to you in January last, the lives of work therein indicated have been pursued as far as practicable. Uncertainty concerning the future of the Station has, however, interfered very seriously with work Indeed until after the meeting, in February, of the Directors appointed by the Legislature, the officers of the Station felt unwilling to incur any expanse or obligation for money. Vacant offices remained unfilled and so continue to the present. In consequence no investigation of the disease of plants has been undertaken, a field which it was hoped would be fully entered. The threatened destruction of the LeCont pear crop in Southern Georgia illustrates its importance.

The Entomologist as far as circumstances would permit, has been collecting insects, observing their habits, breeding them when practicable, and has made some experiments in destroying them. Several insect breeding cages and a spraying pump have been procured for his department.





(265)
Athens, June 1889
Report of Director of Experiment Station
No work has been done in the geological department. A set of sieves for Mechanical analysis of soils has been ordered and are now being prepared for the Station looking to future work (Received since above was written).

In the Chemical department, analysis of the ash of native woods, previously begun, have been continued; results of these have been published in bulletins Nos. 2 and 3. In addition analyses of feeding stuffs have been begun and are now under way.

Meteorological observation have been kept up continuously on the campus and at the Farm. The self-recording instruments have been found to work admirably.

On the farm, the experiment on the preservation of the sweet-potato during Winter, was completed the first of April. It will be necessary, however, to repeat it many times before final conclusions can be reached. The results so far, are very gratifying. They will be found in bulletin no 3.

Numerous other experiments have been begun, many of them, co-operative in their nature, according to plans matured by representatives of different stations, at a meeting held in

(266)
University of Georgia,
Report of Director of Experiment Station
Washington City in March last. These cover applications of certain kinds and quantities of fertilizers to corn, cotton, sweet potatoes, peas. For comparison with each other, many varieties of Sorghum, cotton, corn peas sweet-potatoes, tobacco, and garden vegetables have been planted. A large number of seedling strawberries, some raised from special crosses, have been set out, with the hope of securing improved varieties. A garden of grasses best suited to our climate and soil has been planted. It embraces Texas and Kentucky blue, orchard, herds, tall oat English blue grass (Festuca) and timothy. Plots of Bermuda have been prepared and manured with different fertilizers to discover those best suited to this valuable grass. Experiments on special fertilizing of the cow-pea, heretofore begun, are being continued, and are deemed of the highest importance. It is very desirable that these should be repeated for many years.

In addition to above field experiments, quite a number in water culture have begun and are now under way. These embrace corn, cotton, peas and sweet-potatoes, our leading and characteristics crop. A corresponding

(267)
Athens, June 1889
Report of Director of Experiment Station
series of experiments in pots is contemplated, and steps have been taken to secure the pots necessary therefor. The Connecticut Experiment Station has kindly sent us one pot, of the most improved pattern, from which others can be made in the city.

The accompanying financial report is made for the information of the Board. It is deemed equitable and proper to charge against the first two quarterly payments by U.S. Treasurer the expenses of the first two quarters of the fiscal year, and such other expenditures as run through the whole fiscal year, and which were not included in the specifications made by the Board of Directors appointed by Legislative Act. The latter include travelling expenses and incidentals. The unexpended balance of the first two quarterly payments can be legitimately and advantageously spent for additional equipment. The officers of the Station have lists and estimates covering such expenditures, should it be the pleasure of the Board to direct that the balance be so spent. The expenditure for fertilizers has

(268)
University of Georgia
Report of Director of Experiment Station
exceeded the allotment made by the Board at its meeting last August by $7.19. The incidental expense account exceeds the allotment made by $88.97.

It is respectfully asked that a transfer be made from other unexpended allotments to cover these two items.

Respectfully Submitted

Report on Law Department
To the Hon. Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia.

The Committee upon the Law Department beg leave to make the following report.

The gratifying exhibit made by the school of Law at this Commencement furnishes evidence of the efficient work that is being done by the Professors of that department. The steady increases in numbers shows that the value of this school is being better and better understood throughout the country.

The instruction in the school is through, the selection of text books and the methods of teaching are satisfactory. The two professors of law Prof. Thomas and Prof. Cobb deserve great credit for the ability and industry, displayed by them.

We endorse the suggestion looking to lectures by gentlemen learned in the law, from various parts of the state, and agree with the Professors that it should not be abandoned.





(270)
University of Georgia,
Report of Committee on Law Department

We think that the connection between the law department and the University is as close and intimate under present arrangements as is practicable, but if the association can be made more intimate we see no objection to such a step. We consider it a part of the University and under the control of the Board of Trustees and the chancellor. If the chancellor can suggest any reform in the respect of this department which will more thoroughly embody it with the University, we will gladly hear it.

Respectfully submitted.

Report of Committee on Buildings & Grounds
To the Trustees: -
The Committee on Building and Grounds, respectfully report that the expenditures, in this department, for the last year, have been as follows:-

Expenditures 1888-1889

On the Chapel 4.80
On Moore College 17.80
On the Ivy Building 96.00
On Prof Morris Dwelling 403.00
On the Chancellors dwelling 430.00
On Prof Willcoxs dwelling 51.65
On the New Privy 207.00
On the Library Building 14.75
On repairs of Fences 46.90
On cleaning Privies 122.50
On the New College 1,256.15
On the Old College 5,004.05
On Sundries 166.26
________
Total Expenditures $7,820.86

Of this amount, a portion was received from sources other than the income of the University for the year, as follows: -

(272)
University of Georgia,
Report of Committee on Buildings & Ground
From Legislature for Dormitories $5,000.00
From Experiment Station for Laboratory 500.00
From Appropriation of 1887 for Chancellors dwelling 250.00
________
Total from other sources $5,750.00

Deducting this from total expenditures, as stated above, leaves the sum of $2,070.86, as the amount expended from University Funds, for repairs, under the appropriations of July 1888.

In accordance with the order of the Board the entire sum of Five Thousand Dollars, appropriated by the Legislature for repairs of the Dormitories, was expended on the Old College. It is now, virtually a new building and is thoroughly comfortable for its occupants.

All the others are in fairly habitable conditions, needing only slight repairs for the next year, except the New College building which will require a considerable expenditure to make it at all satisfactory, as now used.

As directed by the Board, this building has been converted into Lec-

(273)
Athens, June 1889
Report of Committee on Buildings & Grounds
ture Rooms and Offices for the Professors of Biology, Belles Letters, Ancient Languages, Modern Languages and for the Adjunct Professor of Ancient Languages. A room has been assigned to the Professor of Agriculture and one for a museum for the Department of Biology, but no work has been done on these nor on the remaining rooms of the building now used for the storage of chemicals, fuel, etc.

To make the building available in this way, the interior partitions were taken down, new framing introduced to suit the new arrangement the old stairways removed and a single one substituted, necessary benches and black boards put in and the offices of the Professors partly furnished. The amount expended on this building, during the year was $1,256.15 and of this, $500 was received from the Experiment Station Fund and used in fitting up a Laboratory for the Department of Biology.

Much remains to be done to make this building what it should be and to place the academic professors on more equal footing, as to accomoda-

(274)
University of Georgia,
Report of Committee on Buildings & Grounds
tions, with the gentlemen of the scientific chairs.

The floors are worn out and it is not possible to scour them, with out injury to the ceiling below. The windows are past being repaired and should be substituted by new ones, with inside blinds. New flooring should be laid over the old one and the building must be stuccoed outside, not only for appearance, but for the preservation of the walls.

This work is estimated to cost as follows not including floors for the lower story, which can be put in later: -

New College
New Flooring, (2 floors) $486.00
New Windows, sash & blinds, (53) 530.00
Roughcasting & painting 600.00
Total $1,616.00

The building of the new closets and the present arrangements for cleaning them, have entirely remedied the complaints heretofore made by the residents in the vicinity. It is believed to be as well arranged as circumstances permit, unless a water and sewer

(275)
Athens, June 1889
Report of Committee on Buildings & Grounds
connection could be had. Under the present arrangement they are cleaned twice a week, at a cost each time of $1.50, requiring the service of his men and a team and having to be done at night. This makes the cost $12 per month or $144 per annum and this will have to be a permanent feature in the appropriations of the Board, until some other arrangement can be made.

Nothing has been done on the grounds during the last year. They are about in the usual condition and nothing is proposed in regard to them, for the reason that this committee is fully aware that the Board cannot now make an appropriation which would do any good in the matter of draining or otherwise improving them.

This Committee earnestly desires the Board to adopt the regulation proposed by the Faculty requiring students to make a contingent deposit with the Treasurer, and of charging to the Fund thus raised, all intentional or careless damage to University property, as assessed by the Faculty, against the

(276)
University of Georgia,
Report of Committee on Buildings & Grounds
individual or class causing the damage or failing to locate it more difinitely (sic), against the entire fund. This plan we are convinced, will reduce the wilful (sic) damage to a minimum, and will relieve us of the cost of repairing them, a sum which has already averaged above $200 per annum.

The sum required for the ensuing year, for this department, will be as follows: -
Appropriation for 1889-1890.

Library Building (painting roof) $65.00
Ivy Building (tin roof) 90.00
Moore College (painting roof $40, sundries $30) 70.00

Report of Committee on Branch Colleges

The committee on Branch Colleges respectfully submit the following: -
It appears from the report of the Finance Committee that five thousand dollars, hereby a Legislative appropriation which will be hereafter mention, available to be applied to the Branch Colleges the ensuing year, which amount is made up of four thousand dollars coming from the interest on the Agricultural Landscript fund, and one thousand dollars from the interest on the Gilmer Fund.

In as much as the report from the North Georgia Agricultural College at Dahlonega shows that there are in attendance or have been during the past years more than one hundred male students, we are of the opinion that under the contract with that Institution it is entitled to two thousand dollars from the income of the Agricultural Land Script fund which leaves one thousand dollars to be divided among the Branch Colleges at Milledgeville, Thomasville and Cuthbert. It has been the policy of this Board to make the distribution of this fund among these colleges on the basis of the number of male students in attendance an their respectively, for the reason that the act of congress under

(283)
Athens, June 1889
Report of Committee on Branch Colleges

which the fund was appropriated clearly contemplates that male students only shall receive the benefit of the fund.

We concur in this view and have made the distribution accordingly.

It appears from the reports submitted to us that the attendance of males

University of Georgia,
Report of Committee on Branch Colleges at Thomasville.
The general assembly of the State by act (blank space) Dec. 26. 1888 made the following appropriations for the fiscal years 1888-7-1889.

To the University for the support & maintenance of the Branch College at Dahlonega three thousand dollars per annum. For the support and maintenance of the Branch Colleges at Milledgeville, Thomasville and Cuthbert each two thousand dollars per annum.

We recommend that these amounts be appropriated and paid to these Branch Colleges.

The income arising from what is known as the Gilmer Fund available for appropriation to these Branch Colleges is one thousand dollars.

Under the scheme adopted by the Board for the distribution of the Gilmer fund arising from this source only three students in the branch colleges without regard to sex who are pursuing their studies with a view of becoming teachers are entitled to participate in the benefits of this fund.

It appears from reports before us

(285)
Athens, June 1889
Report of Committee on Branch Colleges
that there are at Milledgeville 85 students who propose to become teachers and at Cuthbert 20. The reports from Thomasville and Dahlonega do not contain any statement on the subject, and we have been compelled to take the number furnished by the Reports of last year for these places which is as follows, at Dahlonega 84. At Thomasville 15, making a Total of 204 at all the Branch colleges. Dividing the fund at our disposal, one thousand dollars by 204, we have a fraction more than $4.90 per capita.

We therefore recommend that the one thousand dollars be distributed as follows:
To Milledgeville 41650
To Dahlonega 41160
To Thomasville 17300
To Cuthbert 9800
Total 99960 (sic)

The communications from the citizens at Griffin and at Rome in reference to the establishment of Branch Colleges in those cities respectively, and from the Trustees of Bowdon College located at Bowdon Carroll County and from T.D. Bradwell in behalf

(286)
University of Georgia,
Report of Committee on Branch Colleges
of Bradwell Institute located at Hinesville, Liberty County, to be converted into Branch Colleges of the University, has been considered. We think this Board cannot establish Branch Colleges located elsewhere without Legislative authority. It would not be advisable, if we had the power to undertake to do this now because we have not the money to support them. But while we should not take definite action in advance of legislation for that purpose, we recognize the value of the donations offered to the University, as well as the great usefulness of the above Institutions proposed to be established and already established. Should the general assembly grant authority to establish such Branches and appropriate money for their maintenance. The Board would gladly establish them accordingly. And we recommend that the several applicants be informed that this Board will accept propositions submitted and establish the Branch Colleges accordingly whenever the General Assembly shall grant authority so to do, and appropriate an adequate sum of money to support them.

The committee are of the opinion

(287)
Athens, June 1889
Report of Committee on Branch Colleges
that this Board has the power to require the President of its several Branch Colleges to report in person to the Trustees of the University, the conditions and operations of their respective colleges. But we think the power should not be exercised except in special cases, where the reports of its Trustees of such Colleges may be defective.

Resolved that the Board of Trustees have heard with pleasure the application of the Gordon Institute at Barnesville to be received as a Branch College of this University. The Board regards the Gordon Institute as a school of high order and as a valuable feeder to the University. In view however of its Branch established at Milledgeville, of an application already (blank space) from Griffin and of (blank space) an education. We ask reasonable time to consider further of this matter.

University of Georgia,

The plan for establishing a club, to take the place of the boarding house in the Campus recommended by the Chancellor being complex & its practicability depending in a great measure upon the prices of provisions, furniture &c in Athens The Committee recommend that the whole subject be referred to the Prudential Committee to take such action in the premises as may be thought best, after careful consideration.

On the application of certain citizens of Waycross to establish a Branch College in that City, the committee on Branch Colleges submit the following Report.

We think your Board cannot itself establish Branch Colleges.

It would not be advisable if we had the power, to undertake to do so now, as we have not the money to support them. But while the Board in our opinion, should not take definite action in advance of legislation for this purpose we recognize the value of

(293)

A.L. Hull Auditing
A.J. McIntyre. Committee.

Mr. Billups. Resolved that the Morrill Bill and that part of the Chancellors Report relating thereto, and reorganizing the University be referred to a Committee of Three with Mr Thomas as as (sic) chairman. Adopted.

The Chair appointed as that committee, Messrs. Thomas, McIntyre and Lawton.

Mr Hamilton as chairman of the Committee on the Charles McDonald Brown Scholarship Fund. Made their report which was received and adopted.

Brown Fund. Report of Committee. Charles McDonald Brown Scholarship Fund

Mr. Chairman;
The committee on the Charles McDonald Brown Scholarship fund begs to report:
The amount of this fund is. 3,500.
Amount appropriated to Dahlonega is. 1,000.
Expenses of Administration 100.
Total. $1,100.
Amount at our Disposal. $2,400.
This fund is disposed of a follows:
W.F. Harwell, Senior Class. 180.
B.F. Pickett, 180.
J.H. Peacock, 180.
T.J. Shackelford 180.
J.D. Smith, 180.
Walker King. 180.

Athens,
G.D. Pollock, Senior Class. $ 180.
W.J. Youmans. 180.
T.J. Felder 120.
J.O. Culpepper Junior Class 180.
Eugene Dodd. Sophomore Class. 180.
O.E. Horton. Hart. Co. 180.
M.C. Horton 180.
W.W. Sheppard. Law Class. 120.
Total. $2,400.

We find from the report of the Finance committee that the sum of $756.90, has been repaid by beneficiaries of the Charles McD. Brown Fund. This sum cannot be expended under the terms of the gift, but must be re-invested and added to the campus. We recommend that the Secretary and Treasurer be instructed to purchase with the sum together with other sums which may be in his hands for re-investment, bonds of the State maturing October, 1890, and convert into seven percent obligations of the State as has been done heretofore.

In this connection your Committee beg leave to say, those responsible for the execution of this Trust should use all means in their power to secure the repayment of the funds, received by the beneficiaries. The object of the Donor was evidently to put it in the power of worthy and bright young men, who were unable to educate themselves, and whose parents were unable to educate them, to accomplish that object by their own exertion, need to put the fund within their reach at a low rate of interest and the education when obtained would enable them to make the money and return it to the University with the small rate of interest then fixed, and at the same time to build up a fund which in the course of time would draw to the University a very large number of students, We would therefore recommend that the Secretary and Treasurer be requested to give diligent attention to the repayment of this fund by the beneficiaries, and that he be directed in addition to the obligations,

(320)
University of Georgia,
which he now takes from the beneficiaries of this fund, to take a note from them on final settlement aggregating the whole amount received and in form as follows;

In consideration of benefits received by me from loans from the Charles McDonald Brown Scholarship Fund, which enabled me to acquire an education at the University of Georgia, on or before Five years after the date here of, I promise to pay the Trustees of the University of Georgia or order (blank space) Dollars, with interest from the (blank space) day of (blank space) 189. at the rate of four per cent per annum. As witness my hand and seal this (blank space) day of (blank space) 189 .
[L.S.]

Respectfully,
D.B. Hamilton, Chairman,

Mr. McDaniel as chairman of the Committee on Branch Colleges made a report of the Committee which was received and adopted.

Branch Colleges Report of the Committee on Branch Colleges.

The Committee on Branch Colleges respectfully submit the following;

It appears from the report of the Finance Committee, that aside from the amount due by contract to the North Georgia Agricultural College, the Gilmer Fund and the sums specially appropriated the Legislature for the Branch Colleges, all the available income of the University is needed for the proper maintenance of its existing organization. We cannot therefore recommend its usual appropriations from the LandSrcip Fund to the Branch Colleges except as required by contract. Should any sum be available for that purpose by reason of reduction in the proposed appropriations for the University proper, we think such sum should be appropriated on the basis of male students therein to the Branch Colleges at Milledgeville, Thomasville and Cuthbert. In reference to the chair submitted by the representatives

(321)
Athens,
of the Southwest Georgia Agricultural College at Cuthbert, that the contract of Aug. 2nd 1879. By which the latter became a branch of the University bound the Trustees of the University to appropriate the sum of Two Thousand Dollars from the Landscrip Fund annually for the support of that Branch college, we submit that it is wholly unfounded. There is an express provision in the contract, that this sum may be withdrawn whenever the needs of the University require it.

The income arising from the Gilmer Fund available for appropriation with is the sum of One Thousand Dollars. We recommend the apportionment of this sum to the Branch Colleges on the basis of the number of students in each who are preparing to become teachers and expect to teach. It appears from the reports before as that there are at Milledgeville, 128, of that class of students, at Dahlonega, 67, at Thomasville, 25, at Cuthbert, 15, a total of 235, which will give a per capita of $4.255.

To Milledgeville $544.64.
Dahlonega. 285.08.
Thomasville. 106.37
Cuthbert. 63.82.
$999.91.

This is recommended on the idea that it is the fixed rule for the distribution of this Fund adopted by the Board.

The General Assembly of the State in the Act of Dec. 26th. 1888, having appropriated to the University for the fiscal years of 1889 and 1890, the sum of Three Thousand Dollars per annum, for the support and maintenance of the Branch College at Dahlonega and the sum of Two thousand Dollars per annum for the support and maintenance of the Branch Colleges at Milledgeville, Thomasville and Cuthbert each, we recommend that these respective amounts be appropriated or paid to these Branch Colleges for the year 1890, according

(322)
University of Georgia,
to the fiscal year of the State. The Report from the North Georgia Agricultural College showing a male attendance at that school of 131. During the last collegiate year, we recommend the payment of the sum of $200000. From the Land Scrip Fund to that institution for the next fiscal year.

The Board took a recess until 4.p.m.

4.P.M. Board Reconvened.

Mr Hull read a communication from Mr. W.S. Holman in reference to the purchase of Rock College, which was read and laid on the table for the present.

Mr. Hammond offered the following resolution which was laid on the table for the present.

1. Resolved that the Committee on property be and hereby requested to make al needful repairs on the buildings of the University in Athens including re-covering of Old and New Colleges in the manner deemed by the Committee most suitable if they think the work necessary and that these repairs be paid for out of the $4,00000 appropriated by the Act of the last Legislature.



2. The above shall include the $87500. Mentioned in the report of Committee on Buildings and Grounds this day adopted.



Mr. Thomas moved that the subject of what property, articles, &c. belong to the Experiment Station be referred to a special committee composed of Messrs. Hull, Billups, McDaniel.

Mr. Billups, Chairman of the Committee on Laws and Discipline made a report.

(323)
Athens,
Laws & Discipline.
The Committee on Laws and Discipline move the following Report;
We are not prepared at this time to recommend to the Board the adoption of the plan of final examinations for honors in the four suggested by the Chancellor and we recommend that so much of the Chancellors Report as relates to this subject be referred to the Chancellor and Faculty with the request that they consider the subject further and through the Chancellor report thereon to the next annual Session of this Board.

Upon the memorial of representatives of the eight fraternities of the University, referred to the Committee on Laws and Discipline and so much of the Chancellors report as refers to that subject. The committee submits the following report;

Without expressing an opinion upon the claim of memorialists of so many and so great benefits to students holding membership in the fraternities, the Committee expresses its gratification that the paper submitted contains a clear and unequivocal recognition of the subserviency of the laws and privates rules and regulations of these fraternities to the laws of the University. This their distinct avowal, coupled with a pledge to adhere to it in the future is expressed in the following languages; Just as the College fraternity is the offspring of the College, so we realize, that the laws of the former must be subservient to those of the latter, and that whenever the two conflict, the former must yield. This is the position held now, and even heretofore by all the fraternities at the University, and we pledge ourselves to adhere to it in the future. We also note with pleasure the high estimate placed upon the two Literary Societies of the University by the memorialists. The advantages to be derived from attendance upon the meetings of these Societies and participation in the debates seem to be properly appreciated, and in our opinion cannot be too highly estimated. Having entire confidence in the honor of the young gentlemen composing the eight fraternities, and in view of the fact that the serious disturbances

(324)
University of Georgia,
arising out of the very reprehensible conduct of some of the members of the fraternities during the present term were settled by the Chancellor and Faculty in a manner satisfactory to them, and relying upon the recognition of the Supremacy of the laws of the University and the pledge given in connection therewith the Board does not deem it necessary at this time to take action looking to the abolition of the fraternities we are the more inclined to make this recommendation from the fact that the memorialists report an increased interest in the two literary Societies and a larger membership during this term than for several preceding, and we enjoin upon the fraternities, as well as the other students the necessity of seeing to it that the benefits almost incalculable, that will be derived from the literary Societies be not neglected during the next collegiate year.

It is proper to state in this report that reference in the memorial to a letter written by the Chancellor to one of the fraternities misrepresents him as it manifest from a copy of that letter now before the committee. But at the request of the Chancellor, we take pleasure in the saying that he is fully satisfied as are we that the misrepresentation was not intentional. The Secretary will furnish memorialists with a copy of this report.

Resolved. 2. That the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia be and are hereby notified in accordance with Section 8 of the Act aforesaid that any and all purchases of apparatus &c made by them with monies drawn under the Hatch Bill and the Act amendatory thereof, and by reason of an Executive Order from the Governor of State of date June 14th 1888, shall be subject to the order of this Board to be used by it in furtherance of the provisions of said Act.

Resolved. 3. That the Secretary of this Board furnish to the secretary of the Board of Trustees of the State University and to His Excellency the Governor, each a copy of these resolutions, together with a copy of the itemized statement mentioned in Resolution

(344)
University of Georgia,
Chancellors Report.
To the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia;
Gentlemen;
The year now nearing its close has been a session of prosperity and progress for the University. The health of the students and instructors has been with few exceptions and the work accomplished has been encouraging in a high degree.

Attendance.
In the University proper at Athens there have been matriculated. One hundred and ninety four (194.) being a gain of sixteen (16.) over the attendance of last year. These were distributed as follows;

Post Graduate ---- 1. Freshmen. ------- 23.
Seniors. -----------35. Elective. --------- 17.
Juniors ------------35. Law Class. ------ 35.
Sophomores ----- 48. Total. ----------- 194.

Of these forty five belong the (sic.) the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.

Order and Discipline.
The good conduct of the students during the year has often been commented on by citizens and especially by such as are connected with the municipal government, and thus know the facts intimately. But on the other hand candor requires us to admit that this general rule has been at times violated. Buildings have been again and again opened at night, after a long-standing custom of the boys in search of examination papers, and with the purpose of destroying them. The College Boarding House has been the scene of some disturbances, until at last Mr. Stillwell declined to keep it open and the occupants of the dormitory have found table board elsewhere.

(345)
Athens,
It is believed by the Faculty that the inconveniences of the arrangements in the boarding house were the occasion in part a least (sic) of these disturbances. The dining hall and kitchen are in a dark and ill-ventilated cellar, as it were. The smell from cooking food fills the building. There is much difficulty in keeping the dishes free from flies, and other impurities. And in warm weather the heat becomes very oppressive. Partly from the difficulty of finding a suitable person to take charge, more still in view of these difficulties in the arrangements, the Faculty agreed to the request of the students and allowed the boarding hall to remain idle. Articles of agreement between the Faculty and Students were entered into. And since then we have had no trouble to speak of. but the Faculty do not overlook the good end had in view by the Board, in establishing the boarding house. And should the cost of boarding in the city be again raised too high, we stand ready to re-open the dining room as a defense to students. We hope that such a contingency may not occur until the State or some good friend of the University shall have erected a dining hall, which is decent and comfortable.

Fraternity Troubles.
But the most serious disturbances of the year were due to the unfortunate row between certain of the fraternities and the newspaper articles relating thereto. Of these a full report was mailed to each trustee. A copy of which. (See paper. A.) is for your convenience filed as part of this report. The Fraternities were as you know, suspended, the discipline seems to have had a salutary effect, though it remains true that in one way or another the Fraternities are connected with nearly every difficulty among students. The evils of these secret clubs are apparent, but the remedy is not so clear, among these evils found as I am told wherever Fraternities appear, is the decline of the debating societies, from which students would otherwise derive

(346)
University of Georgia.
educational benefits about equal to those of any chair. What compensation the clubs propose I do not see. Literary qualifications seem to make no figure in their membership now. In Chancellor Tuckers time they were all abolished. He thought that he had succeeded in extirpating them. But rumors prevail to the effect that means were found to evade the law. Chancellor Mell, it is said, valued them as a means of governing the students. Just how he used them, I do not know. Their open existence now is ascribed to his agency. But there is no record in your minutes showing that they have any legal status whatever. The last record that we can find states that a motion to restore them was tabled. Thus the matter remains to day. Rumor states that somehow authority was obtained from the Prudential Committee. But of this no written evidence has been found. I think that every member of the Faculty agrees with me in believing them to be a great evil. I wish that your Committee on Laws and Discipline might call the Faculty before them, to testify as to this matter.

The Faculty
It gives me great pleasure to testify to the zeal and ability with which the professors have performed every duty laid upon them. A more conscientious and laborious body, it has never been my fortune to meet. Prof. Bocock encountered peculiar difficulties in his effort to re-organize the department of Ancient Languages on a solid basis. I will venture to say that such abuses have rarely ever existed in a respectable institution as were found it that department. I hope that the Board will make inquiries for your own satisfaction into the way in which, the affairs of the department were conducted. (See paper B.)

Prof. Bococks health usually very robust was seriously interrupted for two-months, by an attack of rheumatism, and in the midst of these perplexities, Mr Franklin announced

(347)
Athens,
his purpose to leave his post, that he might enter upon the practice of law, in which a fine opening had presented itself. Fortunately in Mr. W.H. Pope of the Law Class, who was graduated with honors in the last class, we found a substitute. Mr Popes plans do not allow him to remain longer, and a suitable man must be provided for the excessive work of the department. The suggestion being made that the Board would expect me to furnish information, I have carefully enquried with Prof. Bococks help. We feel that in Mr. Hooper a former pupil of Prof. B. we have just the man whom we need. Recommendations showing his pure morals, his Christian faith, scholarship, experience are herewith submitted. (See paper. B.) To my mind not the least of his qualifications is to be found in his intimate acquaintance with the methods of Prof. Bocock, with who he can work in perfect harmony. I will add that Mr. Hooper has been during this year engaged in teaching in the Branch College at Cuthbert. His work has proven in every way satisfactory and I heartily recommend that you employ him at a salary of not less than $120000. (the other adjunct professors now receive $150000.)

Adjunct Professor Strahan.
Mr. Strahan has been for a number of years employed by the University in giving assistance in various departments. His thorough and symmetrical development enables him to do almost any work that may be needed. As a graduate and teacher he reflects credit and honor upon his alma mater, to whose interest he is warmly devoted. His blameless Christian activity, social kindness, and love of teaching young men mark as a professor; whom we cannot afford to lose, I do not believe that we can find his superior in the country. His salary had been paid from the $550000 received under contract with the Experiment Station at Griffin. That contract expires on the 30th, inst. Prof. White and I have long known, that it was likely that the contract would not be renewed. Such is the case. And there are obvious reasons why the University

(348)
University of Georgia,
should not desire further connection with the station. Under these conditions we must find a salary for this invaluable teacher or other work or else lose him. Profs. Charbonnier and Barrow who have filled with honor the Chair of Engineering unite in recommending that he be placed in charge of that chair, which has reflected so much credit upon the University. They know him thoroughly, as pupil and associate, and they hold him better fitted for the peculiarities of the work than any one else. Prof. Strahan has served long enough to be promoted. With the closest economy, using the $4,000.00 appropriated by the Legislature for repairs. I believe you can effect this desirable object. I hope you will do so.

Changes in the Examinations.
The entire Faculty concur in the improved methods introduced during the year. Their prime object was as you remember to abate the evils of the cramming system, by promoting daily study. To this end you sanctioned our suggestion that the written Reviews every month should be held without any previous announcement and strenuous measures taken to have every student present. Besides this it was ordered that the final examinations should be limited to four hours, and that the marks gained in them should count only one quarter, while the united dailies and monthlies should be of the students standing. Thus it was made certain that every student must do work every month. The plan is working a reform of great value. It is helped forward by the use made of the Monthly Reports, in the Chancellors office. A digest is prepared of all marks which indicate deficiency. The student is called in and an explanation required. He is then notified that unless he improves, serious action will be taken. If the will is to blame and he refuses after patient and repeated admonition to do better, he is sent home. Thus the idlers are surely weeded out and injury thereby warded off from themselves and others. If the fault seems to be in want of ability, the

(349)
Athens,
failing student is required to take such studies as he can hope to master. The result is becoming very apparent. Together with this, we see clearly the need of requiring full preparation in all who wish to enter the University. Our courses are as much as the average youth can compass, If unprepared he can neither make up nor keep up. If to this now the Board will add one more element, by agreeing to our request that finals he reserved for the competitors for honors, and made of such a character as to preclude cramming. our scheme will be ideally complete what you have granted will require work, regularly from all, especially from the boys of average ability. The written monthly reviews will be sufficient for determining the diploma. It has everything needed. But what we need in addition is something that will stimulate higher scholarship in the boys of superior ability. For this experience shows there can be no substitute for thorough final examinations. The English, German, and American Universities all note know it, and have known it for ages. Let the honors be completed for as the orations and essays are now. Excluding the average boys and appealing only to the ablest, we can give such finals as render cramming absurd. They will call forth the highest endeavor and produce scholarship of which you will be proud.

Claims of the Experiment Station.
The Experiment Station at Griffin has asked that all apparatus &c. purchased with the funds, obtained by the University under the Hatch Bill be turned over according to the Calvin Act, I recommend that you instruct the Prudential Committee to do this, taking receipts for all property thus given up.

Organization of the State College.
My attention having been directed to the written agreement made in 1872. between the University of Georgia of the one part, and the State represented by Gov. Smith. I am astonished to find such a

(350)
University of Georgia,
glaring discrepancy between the stipulations of the contract and the existing fact in the State College. For example the contract pledges the University to maintain the district organization of the College with a president and sundry chairs, which are all fully specified; to have a professor of Agriculture deliver popular lectures on agriculture and horticulture in different parts of the State; to make reports to the Governor of expeninenture (sic): to deoote (sic) all the money accruing from the Land Scrip Fund to the one purpose specified. Manifestly there was never a thought of sending the income or any part of it to schools other than the one so established schools where the subjects contemplated in this agreement or in the Act of Congress appropriating the means are not studied at all except indeed as they are in every primary school and every girl school. All schools teach what makes their pupils more intelligent, and intelligence aids men to be better farmers, but manifestly something more than this was intended by Gov. Smith more is implied in the stipulations.

These convictions are shared, as I learn to-day, by Profs, Jones, Charbonnier and White. The Board is fully aware of their ability to judge, of their familiarity with the facts. They feel, one and all, that with such stipulations, they could not divert the funds to other schools, than the one contemplated. Pardon my boldness of speech, but I feel that a crisis has been reached in the history of our University. There is now pending before Congress, a bill introduced by Senator Morrill, which appropriates $1500000. to the A.&M. Colleges established under the act of 1862. and increasing this amount

(351)
Athens,
by $100000, per annum until it reaches a maximum of $2500000. per annum. The funds are said to be sufficient to furnish this amount for 50 years. The language of the Morrill Bill seems to be very specific. It requires that annual reports of all expenditures be made to the government at Washington. We need to stand exactly on the record. to which I doubt not we shall be held with rigor. The information reaches us through an influential lobby in Washington which is working for the Bill. They think it will pass in a few weeks, and the money become available in July. I see no cause to doubt their judgement. And in view of all this. I do most earnestly entreat the Board to order your Prudential Committee to organize the A. & M. College, exactly, word for word, item by item, on the plan set forth in the agreement of 1872. For your convenience I hereby file a copy of the Morrill Bill. (marked . C) and also a copy of the agreement of 1872. (paper marked. D.) The action will not cost a cent. It can do no harm but may avert harm. Let us be ready to meet any and every hostile movement, that may be aroused by the appropriation. We all know that there are men ready and eager to seize that or any other money. The appropriation under the Hatch Bill was so seized and divested. If the effort be repeated, we should be ready, so it seems to me, to appeal to the proper authority to devote the money to the purposes designated in the Bill. We have had a taste of what men can do. Let us profit by our experience. We have been very concessive in the face of wrong, but concession has its limits. Let us organize, I repeat, exactly on the lines of the agreement of 1872, Let us proceed to do the very things set down in the writing, and we shall be the stronger when the day of trial comes,

(352)
University of Georgia,
Dr Jones Report on the Farm.
I desire to call your attention to the report of Dr. Jones on the farm to which you appropriated $50000. in June last. (See paper E) and so doing, I take occasion to repeat that all agricultural colleges seem to have Experimental Farms attached whether with or without the Experimental Station fund, I do not think we should be too much unlike the others. If they can use them to good purpose so can we. Such a farm can be used as a useful object lesson for all students of the State College. It ought to be so used. I see no reason why it should not be so used. The fact that Georgia has another farm at Griffin has nothing whatever to do with our plans any more than the much larger and finer experimental farm under professor Irby in Southwestern Georgia has to do with us.

Plan of Enlargement
Nor need we apprehend that there will be any conflict between proper organization of the A. & M. College according to the contract of 1872. and the Plan. drafted with great care by the Faculty at the request of Mr. W.W. Thomas and forwarded at his suggestion to the members of the board from the chancellors office. Were we to receive the $15,00000. in July, that circumstance would only increase the certainty of further endowments. Money draws Money. when New York gave the whole of her enormous Land Scrip. (1,080,000 acres.) to found a University, that drew Ezra Cornells great gift of $500,00000. And that drew another endowment of $1,500,00000. from a private source, (which by the way Cornell has lost by failing to have her charter amended, so that she might receive more than $3,000,00000. which she had already.)

(353)
Athens,
The same thing is true at Harvard and at Princeton. Money draws money. Let us be ready. It will do no harm. It costs nothing. I (sic) may save something. Doubtless Cornell wishes she, had been ready.



Address before the Legislature.
This brings me to say, that the Chancellor appeared according to law before the General Assembly in July last, and made an address on higher Education in its Relations to the States. Both he and the address were kindly received, and he expects to go again, as often as the law gives him authority. But what the friends of the University felt most their need of was a digested Plan for conducting the University, for applying any monies that might be given by the legislature. The noble leader of the campaign, Dr Felton of Bartow, will corroborate all that I say on that head. I hope you will go in propria persona, for which you too have a legal right to plead for your University as Thomas Jefferson plead for 28 years with the stingy Legislature of Virginia, until he secured for ages unnumbered the priceless blessing of his great university. A combination of unfriendly influences of which the mistaken zeal for denominational colleges seemed to be the chief defeated us. But He that fights and runs away, Will live to fight another day. the contest can be renewed. The cause is worthy. It involves the highest earthly interest of the Anglo Saxons in Georgia. It is worth living for. Far better worth dying for than many issues, for which men are eager to paid peril limb and life. Let us stand in our lot. Providence devolves on us a high trust.

For some humble suggestions looking to the harmonizing of the A. & M. College as it should be with the Plan forwarded to each member recently, I refer you to an able (paper marked F.) It was drawn up by Dr. White at my request since we heard reliably of the probable passage of the Morrill Bill. And should the Board or any Committee desire to enquire further of this matter, I ask leave to bring with me Prof. White, with whom

(354)
University of Georgia,
it is my habit to take counsel often.

The Charles McDonald Brown Fund.
Competitive examination papers were sent out to thirteen persons. A number of them seemed to have failed to make answer. I judge they saw that they were not prepared. Such answers as have been forwarded have been examined by the professors, and marked. The results are herewith filed in paper numbered G.

With these I also present applications from students who are already receiving loans. Of these Mr. W. W. Shepherd received an average, at graduation of 91.46. (90 being required.) He was recalled last autumn before he could avail himself of the fund to the death bed of his brother, and has been detained, by a series of distressing afflictions. Messrs. Harwell, Pickett and J.D. Smith, and T.J. Shackelford received above 90. But Messrs. Felder, Walker King and J.O. Culpepper fell below. Mr Culpepper is known as one of the most dutiful, laborious, and moral boys in the University. He was attacked by pneumonia, and his life brought to the verge of the grave. His strength has been greatly impaired, I think he ought not to lose his place, for such a calamity. Messrs. Felder and Walker King are good students. Part of their drop in marks, especially Mr. Kings is doubtless due to the changes in the department of Ancient Languages. They may truly say that they had steadily lost in these languages from the time of entering the University. Mr. King is only a slight fraction below the mark anyhow. He has struggled through many difficulties, and is far advanced in years. To lose now would be a great calamity to him. The Messrs. Horton are I am told kinsmen to Gov. Brown. I do not know whether they are liable to the limit or not.

(355)
Athens,
Their opportunities have been very meagre. (see paper H.) Mr. Peacock of the Senior Class possesses the requisite mark. But Mr. Eugene Dodd of the Freshman Class was called away the night before standing his final examination in Greek. by the drowning of his brother. He leads a very bright class, with average between 95 and 100. He is known as one of the best students in the University. Mr. G.D. Pollock has an average of 85.4. Some allowance might be made for the reason specified above.

Chapel. Bible Classes. Prayer Meeting.
Immediately upon taking charge, the chapel services were resumed for all students at 4 oclock on Sunday afternoons. The attendance has been good, attention serious, behavior much improved. If only we had the means of warming the large chapel in cold weather, it is believed that numbers of the citizens might be expected to attend. The Lecture Room with its low ceiling often proves very uncomfortable for the audience when it is large. Daily morning prayers are held at 9. oclock. Here too the attention and behavior have greatly improved. By carefully selecting a portion of Scripture, especially suited to young men, it is possible to inculcate the most salutary lessons. A Bible class for Students on Sabbath morning has been well attended. And in the afternoon Prof. Bocock had a class in the Greek New Testament which drew together quite a number of the students. The Friday night prayer meetings have been kept up by the students. Every effort will be made to foster religious life in the University. And in this, I can safely count upon the Sympathy and cooperation of the Faculty, all of whom are members of some Evangelical Church several being the acknowledged leaders of the Churches.

Miscellaneous
The report of the Librarian is herewith filed paper I. It gives me pleasure to testify (to) the excellent management of this important branch of College life. and to the fine personal influence exerted over the students by Miss Frierson.

For the condition of the Branch Colleges, I must refer you to their reports as published in the catalogues (pp. 48-50.) My duties in the class room have given me no time for visitation since the summer of 1889. Upon urgent request of the Trustees I appointed my venerable friend Prof. Rutherford to go to Cuthbert for me. He would also have attended the Commencement in Milledgeville

(357)
Athens,
on yesterday, had his health permitted. The North Georgia, and South Georgia Colleges hold their Commencement Exercises on the 22nd inst. I expect to be present at one or the other of them. I have urged upon the Milledgeville and Thomasville Branches the importance, if the agreement with the University is to stand, that this Board elect the presidents according to the contract. If they are to be subordinate parts of the University System, it is important for obvious reasons that the president be under your jurisdiction. But in both instances the reply was made, that their Board had as a matter of courtesy allowed the local Trustees to elect. I think it a bad plan.

University of Georgia,
Buildings and Grounds,
Athens, Ga. June 17th 1890.
To the Trustees;
The undersigned, having been directed by the Chairmen to act as the Committee on Buildings and Grounds beg leave respectfully to submit the following report; the expenditures for repairs &c. for the past year have been as follows;

Repairs, 1889-90.
New College $1,824.30.
Chapel. 32.76.
Moore College. 102.09.
Willcox Dwelling. 3.70
Chancellors Dwelling. 16.33.
Library Building. 41.40.
Morris Dwelling. 6.00.
Fences. 289.55.
Whitewashing. 34.00.
Sundries. 113.56.
Total. $2,463.69.

The University Buildings are now in fairly good condition and only ordinary repairs are required for the next year except as to the dwelling occupied by Prof. Willcox, which requires new roofs, and other repairs at once, and the roofs of both old and new colleges, which are leaking, and which we have found it impracticable to repair. These two buildings are covered with slate, and the roofs have never been satisfactory. It is only a question of a short time, when they will require re-covering and this will cost about $450.00 each,

(359)
Athens,
The last Legislature appropriated $4,00000. to the use of the Trustees for the purpose of repairing the buildings of the State University at Athens, which sum may be used by the Trustees in their discretion for the purpose of repairing the buildings or of building a new building, as they may deem necessary. As this sum is not immediately needed for ordinary repairs the direction of the Board is required, as it is insufficient for the purpose of erecting a new building which would be of much value to the University. Though not strictly within the duty of this Committee, we beg, to call attention of the Board to the need of the school of Engineering for a new Engineers transit and 100 foot Engineers chain. We have a good transit, but it has been in use nearly 20 years, and the instruments now made have many improvements, and attachments which it is important for our students to be familiar with. The chain heretofore in use is worn out. The transit will cost $18500. and the chain $1200. So that an appropriation of $20000 will be sufficient to purchase the instruments, and pay express charges on them.

The Committee submits below a list of appropriations for this department, to which we have added the items of water rent, fuel and attention to closets, as these expenditures are made under the direction of the Inspector of Buildings.

Appropriations for 1890-91.
On Prof Willcoxs Dwelling. 260.00 Sundries. $125.00
On the Ivy Building. 150.00 Total for Repairs. $875.00
On the Chapel. 60.00 For Water Rents. 200.00
On Prof. Morris Dwelling. 50.00 For Care of Closets. 150.00
On Dwelling Occupied by Mrs. Brumby 30.00 For Fuel. 300.00
On the Lecture Rooms & Offices. 200.00 Total Appropriations.$1,525.00
Bldgs & Grds.

University of Georgia,
The Committee bears renewed testimony to the care and efficiency of the Inspector, during the last year, his annual report giving details is forwarded herewith.

Respectfully Submitted;
W.W. Thomas. Committee.
J.A. Billups.

Resolved. That the sum of Seventeen hundred and twenty five Dollars or so much thereof as may be necessary, be and the same is hereby appropriated for the next fiscal year for the following purposes;

For Repairs. $ 875.00
For Water Rents. 200.00
For Closets. 150.00
For Fuel. 300.00
For Engineers Transit & Chain. 200.00
Total. $1725.00.

(Called Meeting in Atlanta written in margin)

Pursuant to a call issued by the Chairman of the Prudential Committee, five members concurring a meeting of the Board was held this day at 8 P.M. in the Kimball House present Messrs, Gordon, Hamilton, Hollis, Hammond, Hull, McDaniel, McIntyre, Screven, Stovall & Thomas.

A L Hull Secretary

The Chancellors Report.
To the Board of Trustees, Gentlemen, That the passage of the Morrill Bill by the Federal Congress brings before you some deeply interesting & perplexing propositions is a proposition which none of us will deny. Is Georgia in a condition to lay lawful claim to the $15000. made payable June 30th 1890? There are some among us who incline to the opinion that she is. The reason for so thinking is that she has already provided for the two races separately that very instruction which this Act of Congress contemplates. The evidence of the fact, &c it is believed, is found in the law passed in 1874 giving the $8000. per annum to the Atlanta University in lieu of any claims which the colored people of the State might have upon the Landscript Fund received by Georgia just two years previous. That this institution is not now receiving the appropriation it is suggested is by no means the fault of the State. The money is ready for the school, waiting for it in the Treasury whenever it will comply with the regulation for separate education, which this very Act of Congress acknowledges to be permissable (sic) the Calom resolutions of 1887. this view of the subject deserves you serious consideration. It does not shut out of view the fact that the Act requires the Legislature to propose to the Secretary of the Interior some plan for dividing the money hereafter to be received under the Morrill Act between the two Schools. It does not appear that any power other than the Legislature can make this proposal but it is provided in the Bill itself that the assent of the Governor pending the meeting of the Legislature can give immediate effect to the provisions of the act.

(364)
University of Georgia,
Another suggestion is that this Board exercise its power to establish a Branch of the A&M College for colored students. This ordered it is thought the way would then be clear for you to ask the Legislature for the $8000. which has been accumulating for three years in the Treasury, at the same time suggesting to the Legislature a basis upon which the new fund for A&M Colleges might be equitably divided. This plan, should the other seem inadequate would it is believed prove entirely acceptable to a large body of our people who have felt annoyance with reference to the complications growing out of the failure of the Atlanta University to receive the $8000.

However, you may decide with reference to the relations of the colored people to the Morrill Bill, I earnestly ask your attention to the necessity for a definite line of policy being adopted by the board as to the expenditure of that fund. Whenever it can be made available. To my mind it seems very clear that it deeply concerns the welfare of the University that you agree on such a policy before the Legislature shall convene in October. The Board knows perfectly well the wide spread discontent in certain quarters with regard to the A&M College.

It was without doubt this feeling which led to the removal of the Experiment Station from the control of the Trustees contrary to the provisions of the Hatch Bill itself. It seems to me that we should do everything that is right in order to forestall hasty action when the matter involved in the Morrill Bill comes before the Legislature. The perils to the University growing out of the excited state of the public mind with reference to the Agricultural population and its privileges have been a theme of frequent consultation between members of the Faculty. And what I am about to suggest is the result of such earnest and repeated consultations.

(365)
Athens,
We see more and more the wide divergence of our A&M College from the type of such institutions in other States and the matter gives us profound concern. In view of this fact we deem it to be of vital consequence that you do all that may be in your power to give immediate effect to the scheme adopted by the Board in June for giving instruction in Practical Agriculture on the farm. Once provide for this and let the fact be fully known and you will see good effects throughout the State. The policy is in itself good for it cannot be that all other A&M Colleges are mistaken and we alone right in the manner of conducting instruction. No one will I am persuaded think so who examines the results. Now you will observe the Morrill Bill lays restrictions on the use of its appropriations which exactly bear on this matter, and these restrictions were inserted at the instance of influential bodies of farmers. The facts as set forth in the debate on the amendment cannot be unknown to numbers of person who see the debates in Congress. They suggest to my mind the sort of accountability to which we shall be held, not only by the friends of the Bill in Congress (to whom annual reports must be made) but here in Georgia also.

I trust that you will see your way now to make provision to carry out the scheme for practical Instruction of the farm and denounce it to the Legislature, letting it be seen that the moment you secure the money coming to us under the Morrill Act you will set it in operation. Along with such practical teaching in Agriculture there should by all means be imparted sufficient knowledge of working in wood and iron for the farmers to do anything in the way of building & repairing that a farm

(366)
University of Georgia,
requires. The necessary buildings for shops can I think be found on the farm. The outfit would cost very little at first. By paying some salaries out of the new fund if it becomes available you might use a few hundred dollars of other funds thus relieved unless indeed you deem it best to go at once to the Legislature and ask the farmers in it to give you the money. Only arrange for the necessary word on the farm even if you must send me to raise the funds among the Alumni. In carrying into effect your plan it is of first consequence to provide an instructor trained in the practical methods of the day to take immediate charge of the farm and school thereon, of course under the direction of the President and Faculty.

The students who take his instruction should be lodged in the Rock College as far as might promote this object and he should through an efficient steward or matron see that boarding is provided at the lowest terms compatible with health & comfort. The same instructor should in my opinion be chosen with a view to his fitness to deliver the public lectures on Agriculture and Horticulture which we are bound to provide under our Contract with Gov. Smith.

The Morrill Bill expressly names Political Economy (under the head of Practical Economics) as one of the studies to be provided in A&M Colleges. You might take measures to supply instruction so soon as the fund is in hand. Furthermore by calling into use the Fellowship established by you in June last a corps of assistants can be provided at the lowest possible cost. Who will enable your existing faculty to carry on the work at the farm without the least interference with their present work. I happen to know that several of the best men in our last graduating class are now

(367)
Athens,
waiting to serve the University if you choose to employ them. They are the very ones who we should select above all others. And from considerations of the honor and advantage to them by remaining in such capacity they are willing to work under their old instructors for $250 or $300. although they can elsewhere command $1000. I cannot close without deluding to the unselfish labors of President White, who at his own cost has devoted his entire Vacation to the service of the University in watching over the passage of the Bill and trying as far as possible to lessen the evil that might be put into it.

Resolved that the action of the Chancellor and Faculty in upholding the discipline of the University be commended. But in view of the statement of Mr Joel Hurt that he had written his son to come home, and that his son was under the belief that the Chancellors permission for leave of absence at this time was not necessary, and he having disavowed any intention to violate the laws of the institution, the Chancellor is requested to restore him to his speakers place and position in the College.
Resolved further that Students in future shall not be permitted to indulge any presumptions with reference to the rules of this institution but shall in all cases apply to the Chancellor for an interpretation of any rule or regulation and shall observe the same.

(444)
University of Georgia,
The Board then adjourned till 3.30 P.M.

Reconvening at 3.30 oclock, the Committee on Laws & Discipline reported as follows on Mr Meldrims request:

Dr Boggs and the Colored College.
The act of the General Assembly under which the Georgia Industrial College for Colored Youths was organized as a Branch of the University contains the same provision as other acts of the General Assembly for the organization of Branch Colleges that the Chancellor of the University shall have the general supervision of the School, and the Committee are of opinion of that this provision does not require different supervision or more frequent visits than is required in the case of other Branches of the University.

It appears that the plan of organization and conduct of the School requires the presence and oversight of a competent white man at least once a month during the scholastic year, and that the Commission think the Chancellor can serve the Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths better than any other person in that capacity.

The Committee therefore recommend that the Board of Trustees consent that the Chancellor may continue so to act, but that the Commission of said Industrial College for Colored Youths shall pay for it out of the funds under their control.

Pending discussion of the report, the Board took a recess to hear the Sophomore Speakers declaim in the Chapel.

Returning to the Library

Major Bacon offered the following resolution which at his own request was laid on the table without discussion:

The Board of Trustees reiterating and emphasizing the conviction that the Literary Societies are second to no other department or agency of the University for the Cultivation and improvement of the Students, have marked the evidence of a want of interest in the same on the par of the young men and the failure to observe the outward formalities which are inconsistent with the conditions essential to the usefulness of these societies.

Therefore resolved that the Board will proceed to investigate whether this unfortunate condition is or is not due in whole or in part to the absence on the part of those clothed with authority the duty and responsibility of a proper and earnest desire for the success of these societies, and further whether those thus clothed with authority and responsibility have endeavored in good faith to carry out both the letter and spirit of the rules relating to this matter which have been made by this Board.

Resolved that if it shall be found that such rules and regulations have not been conformed to and enforced in good faith, the Board will further inquire what changes if any are necessary to maintain the authority of the Board and promote the efficiency of these societies.

The minutes were read and approved and the Board adjourned Sine die.
