Contracts for key road prof.
.ects in the Washington sub
urban area will not be let until
at least November. a spokesman
for the Maryland Roads Com
mission said yesterday.
The commission on last week
revealed cutbacks in spending
for new roads, as a result OF in
creased maintenance costs and
because it has been scheduling
new construction at a rate faster
than the timetable of its H.
year program.
Among the projects hit by the
cutback were those which would
complete a section of dual high
way from Viers Mill Village to
Wheaton, extend the National
Pike (Route 240) south of Rock
vile and inaugurate widening OF
Route 1913 along University lane
and Old Bladensburg road.
The projects have high prior
ity," the spokesman said, but
we've had to back up a bit in
our planning"
He said the 10 projects chosen
last week for completion were

Marketing of Virginia's peach

Most Of the crop will come

Ceremony Will Honor
Father of u. of Richmond

RICHMOND, Va. Aug. Is (P)
in a lonely family buria
ground near Faundale, Marengc
County, Ala. a marker will be
dedicated Wednesday above the
grave of Edward Baptist, father
of the University Of Richmond.
Only a handful of persons will
gather in the tiny graveyard fol-
the tribute to be paid to the Rev
Mr.. Baptist by University OF
Richmond President George M
Molin. Among them will be Rep
resentatives of the Baptist de-
nomination in Virginia and Ala
bama and a few kinsmen of the
once famous preacher and edu-
Gator.
The Rev. M. Baptist. one Of
the most distinguished Baptist
ministers of his generation in
Virginia. conducted from 1880 to
1882 a little academy in Pow
hatan County which was to grow
into the Virginia Baptist Sem
mary, later Richmond College,
and finally the University OF
Richmond.
In 1885, Mr.. Baptist moved to
Alabama. taking with him his
family and more than 100 slaves
Before leaving. he had declined
the presidency Of the seminary
and while in Alabama he later
refused the presidency of Howard
College. He did, however, accept
o position on the University OF
Alabama board of trustees.
Served Country Churches
His ministry in Alabama was
devoted exclusively to country
churches. He declined all calls
10 city churches. explaining that
he felt responsible for the well
fare Of his slaves and was I'M
willing to leave them in care of
a manager who might mistreat
them.
Throughout his ministry in
both Virginia and Alabama. Mr.
Baptist supported himself by
farming. He refused compensa-
ton for his pastoral duties. In
later years, though, he remarked
that he should have accepted pay
and that his course Of action
had done an injustice to the
churches he served and set bad
example for the rising ministry
His ability as a preacher was
hailed throughout the South.
But in the years after his
death in 1863 both his name and
his fame fell into obscurity. The
year 1882, founding date of Vir-
1inia Seminary. was accepted
as the birth date of the Univer-
sity of Richmond and the names
of Robert Ryland. president of
the Seminary and later of Rich
Ynond College. and DR.. F. w
Boatwright, first president OF
the University. received top bill
ing in the dramatic story of the
Institutions growth.
Birth Place Sought
1t was DR.. Boatwright who
first became convinced that the
Rev. Mr.. Baptist's contribution
to the school had been mini
mized-that there might never
have been a University of Rich
mond had be turned down an
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-08-15

invitation to conduct a school
for Baptist ministers on Dunlora
plantation in Powhatan.
After much research. DR..
Boatwright located the founda-
tons of the farm building in
which the first nine students of
Dunlora Academy received in
struction in l830-31. The Vir-
ginia Conservation Commission
perked up its ears and in 1913
erected a marker on Route U. S.
60, two miles from the site.
Overnight, the University of
Richmond became two years
older by moving its birth date
from 1882 to 1880.
Mr.. Baptist's place in the his
tory of the University was now
secure. Thanks to his diary,
many significant facts of his
life became known.
But no one seemed to know
where he was buried, Finally
Woodford Hackley. professor of
Latin at the university of Rich
mond and an antiquarian un-
dertook the search. After months
of inquiry he learned that Mr..
Baptist had been buried in the
family cemetery at Oakland"
where he died. in Marengo
County.
Marker Erected
The University quickly asked
and quickly received permission
from the family to erect the
permanent marker that will be
unveiled Wednesday.
The inscription reads:
Edward Baptist, A. NJ, 1890
1868. Eminent Baptist Minister
of Virginia and Alabama. A
founder of the Baptist General
Association of Virginia. Trustee
of the University of Alabama.
Founded at Dunlora Plantation
in Powhatan County, Virginia,
the Academy which later became
the University of Richmond.
Erected by the trustees of the
