The University's Budget
(Rdleigh Times)

Speaking to University alum
nj gathered at Chapel Hill
and representing all parts of the
state, President Graham vigor-
ously defended the recent budget
request of S691, 1924. This fig
ure, he pointed out, is S771,143
less than the appropriation asked
for in 1929.
In justifying the appropria-
tion asked as the minimum if
/ the University is to maintain its
standards, DR.. Graham pointed
out that in 1929 the University
asked for maintenance an
amount which was almost a hun
dred thousand dollars more than
double the request now made.
This present request is $202.505
less than the $S94,429 actually
received from the State in 1928
%. The appropriation of S721,-
600 made by the Legislature for
this year, which was about a
20 per cent cut Of the previous
appropriation, suffered a further
cut of 80 per cert in the allot-
ments of the State Budget Bu-
reau which carried the Univer-
sity this year to the destructive
level of $504, 700. The S691 ,924
asked for the coming year is
/ thus almost $4,000 under the
Legislative appropriation for this
year.
Recognizing the probability
that appropriations, even to the
| University, will be further cut
at the next General Assembly
and perhaps slashed additionally
by the budgeting authority the
! figures given raise a question OF
prime seriousness to every one
within the state. The Univer-
Sity is the central ganglia of the
educational system. On it hangs
decent efficiency and progress in
all matters of schools and col
legiate institutions. 1t is the
| forum into which are brought
policies, in which plans are
studied and matured. To it flock
thousands of students who have
been brought up to expect and
to demand that the University
will be able to give them not
only the best facilities but the
devoted guidance of a faculty
gathered with pains and in many
cases serving at sacrifice.
Before applying a financial
yardstick to the University, it
were we'll to examine it as what
it is, a state hope for culture and
learning and research in the
spirit of truth. To cut such an
institution to the bone might
we'll result in a fatal hemorrhage.
To certain mind there is a
kind of humor in starving pro
fessor-but the procedure is no
joke, either to him or the public
he serves far better than it
| knows.

highway between Washington and Richmond
George Mason and George Washington were
vestrymen of the church for 20 years. Wash
ington had been elected by 81 votes, Mason by
282 votes. The balloting was an expression Of
regard for George Mason. Before the church
was built. there was much discussion as to
its ultimate location. Mason and Washington
preferred one site. Other parishioners preferred
another site.
When the time for the final decision ar
rived Washington proved that he himself had
surveyed every foot of distance between the
houses of the church members and the two
proposed sites and found that the site he and
his friend Col. Mason preferred was closer to
the houses of more members than the other site.
Naturally, with such a conclusion, the WASH
ington-Mason faction won the controversy.
The funeral services Of George Mason's first
wife, the lovely Ann Eilbeck, were held at Po-
hick. On her death Mason had these lines
inscribed on her tomb:
Once she ,oas oil that soeetens life,
The tender mother. daughter, friend and
1oife;
Once she ,oas all that makes mankind
adore;
When George Mason died, in October 1892,
he asked to be buried by the side of his first
wife, whose death had been great sorrow.
The George Mason who erected Gunston
Hall was the fourth. Of his name. His earliest
American ancestor a George Mason who,
in the cavalier days of England, had emigrated
from Staffordshire. In 1855 he had settled in
what was then Westmoreland County, now
Fairfax County, Va.
For having brought with him to the Virginia
Colony 18 people he was entitled to what was
known head rights" and was rewarded with
a grant Of 900 acres of land. With his assist
Of
Westmoreland. This he named Stafford after
his native shire. few years later he was
made county lieutenant or commander of
plantation, Office similar to one in England
held only by knights.
The original tract was increased by later
purchase. When George Mason the fourth
came into his inheritance he found himself
master of a tract of Dogue Neck. on the
Potomac River, tract near Mount Vernon
where George Washington lived.
In 1850 he married Anne Eilbeck, daughter
of Col William Eibeck of Charles County
Md. Anne Eilbeck is often referred to as the
'lowland beauty" of George Washington's
romance. Shortly after the marriage the
erection of Gunston Hall was begun Perhaps
in the young Nation exerted as much
influence did George Mason. He was the
power behind the throne" of the excited
Revolutionary days. He was a modest man,
honestly unassuming but possessed of amaz-
ing courage and clear vision.
His name does not appear in the American
history books as often as the names of less
able and mere snowy patriots Historians do
gratefully credit him. however, with the author
ship of two of the greatest documents Of
American history. the Virginia Bill of Rights
and the Virginia Constitution. The Virginia
Bill of Rights was the inspiration of many of
