TECH PER|LED
BY CUT IN HOUSE
Donations and Active Financial
Support Endangered as Ap-
preparation Bill Is Killed.

Future expansion of Georgia Tech is
imperiled by the niggardly policy of the
Georgia house of representatives to-
ward the school. according to state
ment made today by Dr. K G. Mathe-
son. president of the institution.
Thousands of dollars in donations
and active financial support of persons
recently interested in the work at the
school probably will be withdrawn or at
least held I'D until the state lawmakers
show a disposition to care for their own
institution.
These donations and this support
were in sight until the house refused to
pass a bill appropriating $4,000 for the
enlargement Of heating and power
plant, Of which there was immediate
necessity at the college.
DR.. Matheson Disappointed.
Last hopes of the house reconsidering
it's negative action on the appropria-
ton bill were abandoned today when
Representative McElreath informed
President Matheson that there was no
possibility of the measures passage at
the present session.
DR. Matheson frankly admitted his
disappointment and fears for the fu-
ture, as results of the watch dog Of the
treasury" attitude of the legislature.
"Of course" said Techs president.
the failure Of the bill will hamper our
work this year. The heating plant was
badly needed. The necessity for more
power is absolutely imperative if our
work is to go forward or even hold its
own.
But the houses policy has had even
Ia more serious effect. Persons of large
financial interests had become inter
ested in Tech. ] had hoped for sub
stantiaI donations and powerful sup
port and aid from them in the imme-
date future.
Bound to Lose Interest"
This action is bound to cause them
to lose heart and interest in the college
They will rea son that if the state ig-
nores the school. its own property,
there is little reason for others to
evince any great interest. In this way
look for the effect of the houses &C
ton to be more far-rea ching than the
simple Withholding Of the appropria-
ton would suggest.
1--WE had $4,000 assured us to be
used on the power pINnt. but without
the states assistance this money would
be useless. 1t can not be tied up until
another year passes and another legis-
lature is elected.
Il take it that we will go on working.

ture will be more generous or at least

All the pleasant anticipations for
the June meeting on the Ottau
quechee river were fulfilled last Sat
urday, the eighth Of the month,
when the Hartland Nature Club met
at the junction of the river with the
Harlow brook. The exquisite beauty
of the brook was a revelation to the
club for the members had scarcely
expected to see a cascade as lovely
as many world-famed one. or to
find real beach and an island.
But these attractions were there, and
much beside An unusual number
of heaths; such as blueberry, check
erberry and pyrola grow in the
woods, also beds of the beautiful
twiu-auwer and rare violets. Near
the river, is long, fiat meadow
with fringe of trees by the bank
Among the latter are native box
elders and a sycamore; while, in
the water, by the island. grows the
curious yellow water-crowfoot. On
Harlow brook an asterella and a
pellia were gathered, and long
tailed jumping mouse was seen.
Three different members found
the pink Silene nivea, new to Vei-
mont. Viola sororia, new to Hart
land, was discovered in moist
copse, and burrowing spider was
observed in his LARA tube probably
an inch in diameter.
At noon about twenty members
and their friends enjoyed picnic
luncheon, after which the literary
program was carriedAout.
