MEMORIAL TO COL. JOHN SCREvEN.
"Col. John Screven was born in Savar-
nah. Ga. Sept. 10. 1877, attended the Uni
versity of Georgia as a student, and be-
coming one of its trustees in 1873, contan-
ued to hold that Office until the day of
his death. He was Georgian, proud of
his state and keenly interested in her
welfare. He was a versatile scholar. a
lover of art, a perfect type of the courtly
gentleman of ante bellum days, cultured
and polished, tolerant and broad in his
views and opinions, generous and gentle
yet firm and resolute, and of deep con-
victions, loyal to every trust and faith
ful in the discharge of every duty, of in
flexible integrity and unsullied honor, a
proud and high strung nature with for
titude and dignity Of bearing which be-
spoke the noble nature and strong char
acter that were his.
when in response to the appeal of
Chancellor BogEs to the alumni of the
University of Georgia, for aid in upbufld-
ing that institution, increasing its
strength, power and usefulness. the Alum
nj in Savannah organized the University
Club of Savannah on April Is, 1889, Col
Screven was unanimously chosen its first
president and remained its president from
that time until his death. He was devoted
to the cause of the university, and very
largely due to his efforts is the success
of the University Club of Savannah, which
was indeed fortunate In having for Its
first presiding officer a man OF such dis
tinguished virtues, and untiring zeal, and
kindly heart as to win the profound re-
spect and love of every member.
TO us who knew Col. Screven, no me-
morial is needed to remind us of him, who
in life, so endeared himself to U.S. nor is
a rehearsal of his virtues necessary, foa.
his daily life ineffaceably impressed them
on us, yet these we would attest, and 70
the memory of our beloved first president,
whose death we mourn. we would devote
a page of the minute book of our club
Therefore, be it resolved:
First. That in the death of Col. John
Screven, which IL greatly deplores, the
University Club OF Savannah, loses one
Of its most devoted members, the Uni
versity of Georgia, one of its most faith
full sons, and one of its ablest trustees,
and the state of Georgia one of her most
distinguished and useful citizens.
Second. That the sympathies of this
club be extended to his bereaved family
Third. That these resolutions be pub
lished in the newspapers of Savannah,
and copy thereof be sent to the family
of our deceased friend
The foregoing report of a committee Of
the University CLUB of Savannah was
unanimously adopted at the annual meet
ing of the club May 2, 1900.
