Founded The Southern Rail-
road.

The Board Of Directors of the South
ern Railway Company, meeting upon
April IL, 1913. unanimously adopted the
following minute:
John Pierpont Morgan, founder Of the
Southern Railway. died at Rome, Italy,
March 81, 1913. after long life, full of
distinguished honors and abounding in
benefit to mankind. His noble charac-
ter and his splendid career justly have
received recognition in every country
and from rulers and people alike. No
citizen Of this Republic without official
position of any kind ever has attained
such eminence. and none deserved it
more. His fame, illustrious in his life
time for great achievements greatly
planned, will abide in the years TO come,
for it was founded upon integrity and
maintained by devotion 10 high princi-
pie. To this general recognition of his
personal character, the Directors of the
Southern Railway Company must add
special and particular tribute, for. TO Mr..
Morgan more than to any other is due
the creation and the development of the
Southern Railway, one of the first of the
many reorganizations justly identified
with his name. From the beginning it
engaged and it never has failed to re-
ceive his wise guidance and his constant
and liberal assistance. Through his fos-
tering care it has grown to its present
proportions, attesting the soundness OF
his forecast, and the public service rem
dered in his rescue and support OF this
important instrumentality of commerce
which has contributed not only to the
beneficial development Of the Southern
