spoke Of the higher educational interests in
Georgia He wanted to inspire feeling in
the people throughout the state in favor Of
the university. He wanted them to feel
that ii as their institution He wanted TO
elicit aid from the legislature and also from
the alumni and the citizens Of Geor-
gia generally. The university is
a home nstitution-eminently SO.
70 has been an ornament to Georgia, and
has given to the state its leading men.
Still, he urged, ii may be more. II may
be placed on an equal footing with any
university in the country if those who take
a pride in it viii lend their aid. He said
that the legislature gives little or nothing
to the institution, and the university is not
properly supported by the leg stature. The
means given to it are inadequate
for its needs. The profess rs do not receive
salaries paid professors in similar instItu-
tons north. The arrangement is such that
oftentimes one professor is burdened with
the work of two, and perhaps three men.
He dwell upon the fact that there should be
chairs of political economy, logic and mem
tai ph losophy. lie wanted, also, the
legislature of the state to improve the
standard Of its home schools, so that they
will be able to send students who will be
better p epared TO enter the university. In
starting out III his new work, the chancel-
lor impressed everybody with the idea that
his whole time and energy will be expended
in the upbuilding Of the university. He
impressed them with the fact that the head
Of the depar .meut is sincere in his
efforts to advance the interests of the uni
versity.

mired the stirring address of the Chan
