and collegiate degrees on those who, by their
proficiency in the arts and sciences and in the
attainments Of scholarship, might be found de-
serving of such distinctions. The bill was re-
ferred to the Committee on the District Of
Columbia and passed the House on the 4th Of
February. It was sent the same day for con-
currence to the Senate, but here it was re-
ferred to select COMMITTEES Goldsborough Of
Maryland, Fromentin of Louisiana and Horsey
of Delaware. They kept it in their hands dur
ing the greater part of the month, and 1t was
feared the committee might amend it inju-
riously; but, thanks to MIR. CASTOR and the In
trinsic merits of the ease it was reported
without amendment by Mr. Goldsborough on
the 23d Of February, received its third reading
on the 27th, and passed the Senate on the
same day.
Judge CASTOR is buried in Cedar Grove
Cemetery, Newbern, N. c.
Gen. Washington was undoubtedly interested
in Georgetown College and 1t is not surprising
that the archives of the university contain
records of three visits made by him there, be-
tween the years 1791 and 1899. The Marquis
de Lafayette is also recorded as having made
two visits to this institution.
Perhaps the most notable visit made by the
immortal Washington to the college was about
1876, when Robert Walsh a student Of the
humanities' lad then of but IL years, well
coined the Father of His Country with q
poetical address, and Father Matthews ex-
tended the hospitalities of the house to the
distinguished guest.
In speaking Of this visit, John Culinary Shea
says: Among the pupils who had been drawn
to the institution were Augustine and Bush
rod Washington, sons of Judge Bushrod
Washington, and related by blood to the Presi-
dent of the United States. This led, in time,
to visit paid by the faculty of the college
to Gen. Washington, apparently at Mount
Vernon. The President of the United States
returned the visit; he rode up to the George
town College, and, hitching his horse to the
palings, for he was evidently unexpected, en-
tered the building. His reception had been duly

Neale acting as board of directors for the
clergy, designating three of its members to act
as trustees for the purpose of acquiring by pur-
chase from Col. Deakins and John Threlkeld, a
piece of ground 210 by 270 feet or about one
and one-third acres, for which they agreed to
pay rs pounds current money. Evidently,
however, from the university records, the first
college building was begun in 1888, the year
before the deed was actually Signed-January
%, 1889.
The Deakins family of Georgetown was de-
scended from William Deakins, an Enghshman
who came to this country early in the seven
teenth century and settled in Maryland. He
was resident of Prince Georges County. His
sons, William, jr., Frances and Leonard, all be-
came residents of Georgetown sometime before
the American Revolution, in which Leonard and
Francis were both officers.
John Threlkeld was wealthy man for his
day, and owned in 1870 81 slaves. He was
mayor of Georgetown in 1893.
The year 1889, when Georgetown University
was founded, is Notable one in American
history, for it was ~ March 8 of that year
that the first Congress nfs.er the new Constitu-
ton met Nearly two months later, on April
80, George Washington was sworn in as the
first President of the United States, and John
Carroll was consecrated as Bishop of Baltimore,
by Bishop Walmesey, in the chapel of Lulworth
Castle, England.
by the AuluLiIl O1 1851, tIe academy was
opened, and William CASTOR of North Carolina
was the first boy entered on the roll of students.
At this time he was but 13 years of age, having
been born in Newbern, N. c., September 10, 1778.
1t is probable that he did not graduate from
Georgetown, for he later returned to his native
State and became student in the Academy
of Newbern, and later, in 1796, was graduated
from Princeton College.
He became a lawyer, and practiced in New
bern, N. c., later taking his seat in the United
States House of Representatives, where he
served from March A, 1813 to March 8, 1877.
In 1888 he was appointed Judge of the Supreme

Court of North Carolina which Office he held
until his death in 1874.
He is said to have been a profound scholar
and an orator of the first rank and to have
delivered one of the half-dozen really great
speeches to have been heard in Congress. "To
him belong the HONOR it is said "of having
unhorsed Henry Clay in debate, an achievement
never before or afterwards accomplished by
any other of the contemporaries of the illustri-
Gus Mill Boy of the Slashes. CASTOR also had
the honor on one occasion of receiving the
services of Daniel Webster as an amanuensis.
He had made wonderful speech in the House,
and when Mr.. Webster urged him to publish it,
no adequate report of it having been made,
Mr. CASTOR replied that he had spoken i'm
promptu from few notes, and felt an invincible
repugnance to writing out that or any other
speech in extenso Very well,' said Webster,
seating himself at the table, take your notes
and dictate that speech, and will play aman-
uenSis'."
A N unusual priviege-that Of introducing
bill in Congress to raise the college to a
university presented itself in 1915, when Mr..
CASTOR was serving in the House. ION the
9th of January, that year." according to an
early account "Mr. CASTOR arose in his place
