 You know says a friend. that he kept our army fit to meet the best eduip- ped army the world has ever seen. though on our side everything had to be made from the egg, From mining the iron and coal to growing peas on rented land and making luhrfcating oil for his machinery, he did it all'
 After the war Dr. Broun again entered upon the work of education as the Pro- lessor of Physics in the University of Georgia. and later gbccame President of the Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical College. Here Henry W. Grady, w. B. Hill, now Chancellor of the University, and many other distinguished Georgians came under his Instruction, and nowhere Is his name more yenerated than through out that State By Grady he was held in the highest esteem and perhaps the ten derest tribute paid to his memory was the memorial sefvice held at the time of his death by the students of the Uni NcTSity oi 0cpr8ld dHu pitStucu VNct Oy their scholarly Chancellor, W.

 Tn 1sS1-2, together with such distin- guished educators as Mallett. of the Uni versity of Virginia. Humphreys of Van derbilt and Tallichet of Sewanee, he was called to assist in organizing the Uni versity of Texas. He filled here the Chair of Mathematics and was made Chairman of the Faculty. In regard to his work at Vanderbilt and the University of Tex as. we have the following interesting statement from that distinguished edu- cator Professor Humphreys. who now fills the Chair of Greek in the Univer- sity of Virginia: ''I suppose that I was better acquainted with Dr. Broun as an

There we worked together for seven years At Austin it devolved upon me to break to him the news of the death of his wife.

 Under his wise and progressive guid- ance this institution has been developed into a highly successful and widely known college of applied science and in it's marked growth and development un- der his wise and able administration it will stand as his most conspicuous achievement and his lasting monument. Every sprig of grass and every tree of this beautiful campus and every brick of the half score of stately buildings have teen placed here by Dr. Broun. But | stone and mortar alone do not make an institution. Splendid buildings and eab- crate equipment are without value un- less directed to definite and high end by controlling. capable head Of course many elements have contributed to tho expansion and prosperity of the college at Auburn. The Board of Trustees have been wise and loyal to the interests of the college An able and highly trained stG fl of prot ossors full of enthusiasm aEd wrik have directed the different depart ments. but it will not be misunderstood when it is stated that in the opinion ot all friends of the institution and ol all intelligent cdu.ators throughout the s, uth the ma rkcd prosperity of the In stitutc within the two last decades has been largely the result of the sagl'ity and able oversight of this distinguished President. He has planned with the wis dom of the trained educator the mast of the principles of education, boldly yet not rashly, and with the distinct sight oi the point aimed at. carried forward his ideas without being required ever to re- trace his steps.
