Nashville Banner of last week.
When Prof. Goodman formed his college
into a stock company and accepted the
Office of president, he rendered his resigna-
ton as vice president of the Business Col
lege Association of America. The president,
Robert G. Spencer, of Milwaukee, would
not accept the resignation, but says: 81
would like very much to have the benefit of
your suggestions as to our next meeting,
both as to time, programme, arrangements,
e.c. Shall hope very soon to hear from
you again, especially about the convention
at Cincinnati and just how it should be con-
Quoted"
1t will be remembered that last year the
work of Prof Goodman's students received
favorable comment both by the press of
Chicago and New York, but his increased
business duties has prevented him from
making representation at the convention
this year. Though notwithstanding this, he
has beennotified to-day that he is retained
as vice president of the association for next
year. This is the third year in succession
that he has been retained in this office. 1t is
gratifying to know that our representative
has attained such prominence abroad.
Goodman's Business College, of which he
is president, has made one of the leading
colleges of America, which is attributable
only to his thorough qualifications backed
by an indomnitable energy. Sudden is from
ten States have entered the Nashville Col
lege since the first of this year.
The Knoxville College, which he has
opened within the past month, bids fair
to be equally as successful as the one here,
although a duh season of the year with
business colleges Within the past week
students have come $50 miles to enter the
Knoxville College, among them two from
Mississippi, and numerous friends and for
mer students in East Tennessee have sent
him over 8, 600 names of young men, ask
ing him to mail circulars to them, which he
did promptly.
Nashville and Knoxville are the first links
of chain of colleges that is to be organ
lied by him, and in which he is backed by
the substantial men and merchants who are
stockholders in these colleges. That bis
plan takes with business men is manifested
by the demand for the college stock the
last of which was sold at $1.25
An incident of the reputation of and in
fiuence of Goodman's Business Colleges
was presented to-day. Mr.. I. w. Andrews,
of Lafayette, Ala, some three months ago,
attended Goodman's College, although he
lived near Atlanta, and even had to come
through that city to get here. After CON-
pleting his course, he returned to lafayette,
went into business, and subsequently &C
cepted position in Chicago, from which
city he arrived to-day in response to tele-
gram sent by a leading firm in this city last
Tuesday, offering him the charge of thei,
books. He enters upon his duties Monday.
This is only one of the many instances of
the influence of this college that often comes
under our observation.
With Prof. Goodman at the head, backed
by business men and the business commu-
nifty generally, these colleges can be counted
on to the last.
