TECH CLASS OF I
ENTERS REAL LIFE
BRILLIANT GRADUATION EX-
ERCI8ES HELD AT BIJOU.
Forty Practical Scientiits Are
Graduated From the Lo
cal School.
The graduating exerciaea of the
Georgia School of Technology, held at
the Bijou theater Thuraday night, were
the moat brilliant In the history of the
Institution. With one exception, the
rlnss of 1900 waa the largeat that haa
left the achool. Thirty-nine men re
ceived their diplomas, and President
Matheson . announced M. R. Maclean
had completed the- prescribed- course,
with the exception of eome ahop time,
nnd that when this was made up hi*
diploma would be granted him and hla
name enrolled with the members of hla
claaa.
Dean Jamea E. Ruaaell, aa the princi
pal speaker of the evening, delivered
a maaterly addreaa on "The Opportunl-
tlea and Responalblllterof Profeaalonal'
Services," which was carefully listened
to and appreciated by the large au
dience present. In the beginning he
teferred to three reasons which had
been given by expert students of the
subject of why America had succeeded
far In advance of the rest of the
world In the race for commercial su
premacy, when an Englishman claims
that his countrymen pay a shilling In
wages where Americans pay a half dol
lar. The reasons given by the various
experts were: (1) A golden opportunity
In a new country marvelously rich In
natural resources; (3) the disposition
of the average American to take
rhances, to play the game to the end,
whatever the odds, and (3) professional
training directed tj.practical ends.
He cited the Instance of Denmark,
which has made tremendous Industrial
strides toward Industrial development
during the last thirty years, and stated
thnt to a very large degree It was due
to the universal training as experts
which la a part of the educational sys
tem of the nation. This, he said, was
What would make the South great, and
the men who went forth from the Tech
nological school were trained ao, and
were expected to take their part In th*
development of the section.
Th* Oath of Hippocrataa.
In conclusion, he recited to them the
oath of Hippocrates, which for centu
ries has been administered to physi
cians and surgeons who are graduat
ing. While no such rigid oath of alle
giance to hla profession and the uplift
of his fellow man was required of the
engineer, still he must realise that the
truest success was founded on service
to his fellow man.
Hon. John Temple Graves was then
Introduced by President Matheson. Ho
stated that he had seen In the papers
of the city that the theaes of the entire
graduating class were to be read, and
In looking over the titles he had
cvcr>- reason to be profoundly grateful
that this portion of the program had
been omitted. Expressing his entire Ig
norance but high appreciation of the
science of mathematics, he delivered to
Robert Allan Anderson the medal of
fered by Colonel Walter P. Andrews for
the best average during his entire
course In pure mathematics. The other
medal offered was by the New England
Cotton Manufacturer!' Association for
the best thesis In textile engineering.
*nd was won by Mr. Wiley Nesblt
Bagwell.
George Foster Peabody Spssks.
President Matheson then Introduced
Hon. George Foster Peabody, who made
* short address on the opportunities
which await the technically trained
man. such as those who received their
diplomas from the Tech. He expressed
hi* pleasure over the election of Chan
cellor Barrow and of President Mathe-
son. and stated that with the assuming
of control' by these two men of the
largest educational Institutions of the
state he hoped to see developed a
stronger feeling of fellowship In the
oneness of their work.
'-‘hancellor Barrow wns called upon
by President Matheson for a few
words, and asked the privilege of
* peaking them to the members of the
graduating class. He urged upon them
’he absolute necessity of unselfishness
If they would succeed, and then quoted
them a letter -which he received
from Dr. LeRoy Brown, when he was
•bout to take his first position after
(rsduatlon. It had only one sentence
and that was: “Make yourself so use
ful that your services cannot be dls.
g insed with, and your rise Is certain.
e quoted Bismarck's famous state
ment: “We Germans fear God and
nothing else,” and he urged It upon
every man there to fear God and
nothing else, and they would always
And Him ready In time of need.
Hon. N. E. Harris, the chairman of
the board of trustees, then made a short
address also to the members of the
graduating class as haa been the cus
tom for the past seventeen years. Mr.
Harris gave the boys a few parting
words of advice, telling them that the'
school expected, their help In the fu
ture to work towards Its greater
growth.
Baccalsursate Address.
The baccalaureate address was de
Uvered by President Matheson. He
Held up to the members of the gradu
atlng class the high poeltlon which
they will hold In the Industrial devel
opment of the South, and the neces
slty for earliest and conscientious ef
fort. He 'spoke of the need of men to
develop the mineral ‘resources of the
state, atatlng that the achool had had
many calls for mining experts which
If had been unable' to fill, and, as a
consequence there had -been added to
the courses already ofTered by the
school, that of mining engineering, and
predicted a bright future tor those who
•hall take up this branch.

“Whereas, In ths present state of affairs as they exist In this coun

North to the gulf of the Bouth, Every union man In this broad land
turns to the Mecca of his fond hopes and bright antlclpatlona and names

To ths Editor of The Georgian:
In the absence from the city of Col
onel Pleasant A. Stovall, editor and
owner of The Savannah Press, I cannot
•It Idly by and see him attacked as he
has been In your columns by Mr. O. B.
Whatley, without raising my voice In
his defence. This letter Is being writ
ten entirely without Mr. Stovall's
knowledge and before he has seen the
letter of Mr. Whatley. Were he within
the bounds of the slate at this time, or
so close to Savannah that he could see
the card of the SarannahrMeldrlm.at
torney and nnsiyer It himself, there
would b<f no need of my making an ef
fort In that direction.
With the question of vote buying In
the last election nnd with the editorial
attacks of the press of the state upon
the politicians of Chatham county, I
have Ilttlo to do. I do object, however,
to the term used by Mr. Whatley when
he says the “The Savannah Press,
through Its hired correspondents," sent
broadcast over ths state the stories of
corruption In the prfVnary. This Is In
a measure an attack upon me, as I was
the only man In The Savannah Press
office who sent to out-of-town news
papers any account of votes being pur-’
chased. It was done without consulta
tion with Mr, Stovall and solely
through a sense of duty. I believed
that the paper* who trust mo to send
them the news from Savannah should
have a gnrrert statement as to the
practice of both sides In the purchase
of vote* anil tried to perform this ser
vice. Mr. Whatley's peculiar connec,
lion with "The Searchlight,'’ the organ
of the People's Democratic League, I
fear, has dimmed his faculties to an
appreciation of Ihe fact (hat a man
can be connected with a newspaper and
have convictions of Ills own.
Mr. Whatley, In hla card, uses this
language:
"Unfortunately. Mr. Stovall, the cdl
lor of The Press, and the Oltfxans
f'lub candidate for state senator went
down with his ticket. 'lUhufBfut.'Afidrr
hla humiliating defeat, It was only
natural that his paper, through
corps of correspondents, should send
out this rharge of buying and sailing
votes. Everybody well knows that If
the t'ltlsens' Flub ticket and Mr. Sto
vall had won, there would havo been
no report of vote-buying and selling,
or any other Irregularity, no matter
how flagrantly and unblushlngly It may
have been commuted."
■ No greater slander waa ever penned.
Mr. Whatley, If he knows Colonel
Pleasant A. Stovall even slightly, must
be aware that there ls not In Georgia a
■nan of a higher sense of honor. To
use such arguments at this In defend
ing the buying of votes or In refutn-
tldn of th* statement'that not ns many
votes were bought aa In former elec
tions,'Is to stoop to th* argument of
the petty lawyer, and those acquainted
with Mr. Whatley’s large practice and
extensive business st the Savannah
bar must express surpridt that I
ould place himself In this attitude.
The editorial In The Savannah Press
will sire employment to forty hands. The
establishment of this new Industry will be
one nmons the few of Its klud In the entire
Houth.

It called attention to th* many broad
sides tha fair name of tha county had
received through tha preaa of the atate,
and naked for a campaign pitched upon
a higher plain In the future. In anawer
to this Mr. Whatley, auppoaedly speak
ing for a party of reformers, aaaplls
the author of th* editorial aa one who
Is Insincere.
'Colonel Btovall la probably personally

Implicitly. I have often been struck by
his great distress of mind .when he
feared that he had unwittingly done a

There were fully two hundred young
men who got their first Insight Into
politics In this campaign. They have
made a b"glimliu: that will stand out
In their memory for years to come if

a matter of "necessity** have upon their .
heads the sin of debauching the
minds of these yountf men an to the
proper way to win an election. Mr.
Whatley Is a much older man than I,
nnd I should have hesitated to have
replied to him had I not been Impelled
to speak In defense of one whom I
know and wl^om Mr. Whatley should,
know from Id* acquaintance with him.
Is above reproach. No good citizen of ,
Georgia believes that ‘Tien* Htovall‘%
took imrt In the buying of votes, «nd.
after nil, that Is the only class whose
opinion Is worth anything.
