HARDY & EDCERTON
GET five YEAR LEASE
ON MILITARY ACADEMY
MADE BY COLONEL EDGER
TON TUESDAY AT THE GRADUATING
EXERCISES
TREMENDOUS ENTHUSIASM BY STUDENT BODY AND
ASSEMBLED VISITORS WHEN THE HAPPY NEWS is MADE
kNowN-scHooL HAS HAD RAPID AND REMARKABLE GROWTH

Standing in the presence Of a dis
tinguished audience that had Assem-
bled to witness the graduating exeI
cises, Col. J. e. Edgerton Tuesday an
nounced that Columbia Military Acad
envy had been released to Hardy 4
Edgerton, present principals, for
term of five years. The announce
ment was received with greatest en-
thusiasm, both by the student body
and the assembled visitors.
The final details of the release Of
the property was made Monday eve
ming at Nashville, where the Board Of
Trust held a meeting in the Wautauga
Club, at which both Col. Hardy and
Col. Edgerton were present. Only
four members of the Board attended
this meeting, President Barthel, Chan
cellor Kirkland, Harry Louck and w.
E. Bostick. The lessees have no op-
ton on the school after the expiration
of the new lease.
Five years ago, when Hardy &
Edgerton came to Columbia, they
found magnificent building, beautI-
full grounds and no school. During
that period they have built up mag
nifcent school, with a total enrolment
of two hundred pupils, more thanaone
half of whom are boarding pupils, COM
ing from more than half the states of
the union. With the passing years
the school grows in reputation and
Importance, and its release for
term of five years insures it's perma-
hence as one of the South's leading
institutions.
During the last few months, when
here has been some question as to
or not the school would be
released to the present principals,
he student body and the citizene of
Columbia and Maury county have
stood squarely behind the principals,
md to all of them the release of the
chool for term of years is most
intelligence.
