property than to release it to Hardy &
Edgerton at the end of the present
lease, provided the terms of the orig
inal contract were complied with aid
that they knew of no reason in the
world why the lease should not be
renewed. He said the school was es-
tablished primarily for the people OF
Columbia and Maury county and then
for the country at large, and that they
fully recognized the equities OF Co
lumbia, not only on this account, but
because of the financial assistance the
people of Columbia had given the
school. and that all might rest as
sured that these equities would be
cared for. That as soon as the Board
could examine and find that the terms
of the original contract had been COM
piled with, the lease would be re-
newed. The Columbia delegation then
retired.
The Board then contineud their ses-
sion, and Supt. S. A. Mynders endorsed
with emphasis the remarks made by
Chancellor Virgins. Finally resolu-
ton was adopted, setting forth the
fact that the original lease practically
guaranteed Hardy & Edgerton a re-
newal of the lease, provided the terms
of the original lease were complied
with, and 1t was therefore ordered that
committee be appointed TO come to
Columbia at an early date, inspect the
buildings and grounds, audit the GO
counts, and also the accounts of the
Treasurer of the Board, Prof. W. T..
Bostick, and report back to the Board.
Chancellor Virgins, E. E. Barthel and
w. E. Bostick were appointed on the
committee.
Chancellor Virgins was seen at the
Nashville station as his train was pre-
pairing to pull out for Knoxville. He
stated to the representative of The
Herald that Hardy & Edgerton were
as sure of a renewal Of the lease as
anything could be sure that had not
already happened. That he knew or
absolutely nothing that would prevent
a renewal of the lease, and as far as
he was concerned, or majority OF
the Board was concerned, Hardy &
Edgerton could have the school ten,
or hundred years, or as long as they
continued to conduct a successful
school. Chancellor Virgins again en-
phasized the fact that he was speaking
for majority of the Board. He sta
ted that he realized the advantages a
ten year lease would have, and stated
that the Board simply wished to dis
charge their trust by giving a sue
cessful school down here. That the
committee would meet in Columbia as
soon as possible, he thought In about
two weeks, that their report might be
prepared, and any feeling OF uncer-
tainty dispelled? In closing Chancel-
lor Virgins said the Board had been
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1909-06-04

thought that the interest taken by the
citizens of Columbia in the school I'M
der Hardy & Edgerton deserved con-
sideration, and the fact that the people
of the town had answered the f1nan'
cial calls Of the institution under the
present principals deserved considera-
ton.
Mr.. Whitthorne then told of how,
before the establishment of the Acad-
envy, few of the boys of the county
had an ambition for college educa-
ton but that now a change had come
about and many boys of the county
were attending the colleges and uni
versities.
w. C. Salmon was the next speaker
and emphasized many Of the points
already gone over, and especially the
point that an extension Of the lease
was necessary at this time that the
school might be given an aspect OF
permanency and that the principals
might carry out some improvements
they had in view in the way OF new
dormitory and changes in the other
buildings. He explained that with q
ten years lease no difficulty would be
experienced in getting all the FUNDS
necessary, but without this there were
few who would care to risk money In
the institution.
w p. Greenlaw, Esq, dwelt at some
length on the change that had been
brought about among the young men
Of the county by reason Of the school.
He said that in former days the boys
of the weather. families were content
to spend their summers in idieness or
recreation. That now they felt 1t a
disgrace to live lives Of idleness, and
were accepting employment as fore
men in phosphate mines or in other
honorable callings and were growing
up useful, honorable citizens. Mr..
whitthorne told how close to the
hearts of the people of the town was
the institution and how gratified they
were by reason Of its success. Many
of them, he said, had boys in the in
stitution and realized the great advan-
tage they were deriving.
Mayor Biddle, speaking In his ON
cial capacity and as a citizen, told OF
how greatly aroused the people were
over the reports that had been circu-
lated, and requested an explanation or
their origin and by what authority
they had been given circulation.
Virgins Statement.
Chancellor Virgins, who emphasized
the fact that he was speaking for
majority of the Board, said the Board
was simply amazed at the reports
that had been circulated down here.
That these reports we're absolutely
without authority or without founda-
ton. That 1t had never entered the
minds of the members of the Board to
make any other disposition of the
