| suppose every one connected IN
any way with the University OF Geor-
gia has heard of the famous oak In
front of the chapel, and in connection
with it / will relate an anecdote OF
Bob Toombs, showing his impetuous,
irresistible nature, which SO charac-
terized him in his after life.
Toombs had been attending college
two years, and was within two weeks
of graduating, when, III a difficulty,
he stabbed one of the students, infict-
ing a serious but not fatal wound.
For this act he was expelled by the
faculty. who soon after were petitiOned
by the graduating class to allow him
to finish with them as he hadso nearly
completed his course, and bad also
been given a speakers place. Toombs
himself petitioned them, but both
were refused lie apparently submit
ted, but on commencement day. when
the chapel was crowded with visitors
and the seniors Ahemently Grating
preparatory to receiving their diplo-
mas. lie stationed brass band under
disappearing limbs ofthe oak, whose
music succeeded in bringing scores Of
town people. yho werenot then in the
chapel, and alsoy y clearlngit OF nearly
all its audience. -,
Then in as coo manner as possible
he placed himself in a chairand made
an oration. such, it is said, as was
never spoken here before or since.
He never received his diploma,
though after bis celebrated Boston
speech it was sent him, but was re-
turned with the answer; "D-n the
diploma; when it would have been
an honor to me was refused it, now
when am an honor to it, it is offered
me-" He was afterwards reconciled
with the faculty, and is now one OF
the staunehest supporters OF the
college.
