An Alumni, Effort for the University.

A meeting of Stanton and Augusta alum
nj of the University of Virginia, was held
at the City Hall Tuesday afternoon. pre-
sided over by MI. J. &C. Cochran. The
meeting heard an explanation by MI. A. G
Gordon of the University Board of Visi-
tors of the plans for rebuilding which are
to follow the original design of Thomas
Jefferson-and an estimate OF the cost
which, with the restoration OF the library
will be from quarter to third OF mil
lion dollars. Mr.. A. F. Robertson spoke
at length on the necessity of the work.
The following preamble and resolution
offered by Judge Chas. Grattan were adopt
ed:
Whereas, The alumni of Staunton and An
austa county have heard with sorrow OF the
destruction of the Rotunda and other build
ings of our beloved Alma Mater, and as each
Of US has drawn lessons of truth and wisdom
from her, that render her walls dear as the
apple of our eye, we claim the right and
privilege of aiding as we can the restoration
and placing at least single stone in this
second building of our temple. We believe
that when she opens her new doors to our
sous and brothers, it is better her founda-
tions should rest on the broad basis OF the
love of all her sons than on the narrow
foundation of individual bounty, however
generous and hearty.
Therefore resolved, That the chairman OF
this meeting appoint three alumni in each OF
the voting precincts of the city and county
who shall diligently canvass said district and
give every alumnus and friend of education
therein an opportunity Of making his offer
ing, however small, remembering that the
size of the gift is measured by the opportu:
nifty OF the giver and not by the figures sci
down.
The meeting appointed Messrs. Jas. II
Skinner, T. D. Ransom, Lyman Chalkley,
A. f. Robertson and DR.. Hanger to memo
rialize the legislature on behalf of tht
Staunton and Augusta alumni for assis
lance.
And the following committee to canvass
the city for subscriptions: LIST ward-A
F. Robertson, Carter Braxton and Dr.
Benz. Blackboard; I'd ward-Col. J. II. Skin
ner, DR.. J. S. Horseley and Z rof. S. IL

all been delivered and settled for in full, as
per vouchers filed with report.
The road question was discussed briefly
by Maj. Koiner, who stated that he had
not had time to read the proceedings of the
late Good Roads convention, but thought
there should be general discussion Of this
most important question by every club in
the county. SO that our representatives
might know the sentiment of the tax-pay-
ers on this subject. There would likely be
bill presented before the next legislature
looking to general State road law, and if
the people preferred the present system or
some other, they should meet and discuss
the subject. If the plans suggested by the
convention be carried out. il would neces-
state an increase of taxation. and the
question before the people is, are they
read to increase taxes to make good roads
The question of electrical motive power.
was one of ever increasing interest, and he
would be glad to learn something more
about the latest developments in that line,
and thought electrical power would go a
long ways towards solving the road
problem.
Several members present stated their op-
position to any State road law, and pre-
ferred the county and district system Of
spending the money where it was collected.
Owing to lack of time the further dis
cussion of the road question was continued
to Sd Saturday in Dec.
The same question will be up for discus
sion in the Stuart's Draft Club the I'd Sat-
urday of Dec, at which time Maj. Koiner
is invited to address the club.
No further business the club adjourned.
