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.

The alumni of the Oeorgla School of Technology met at the Piedmont hotel Thursday afternoon for the purpose of organising a permanent association. The following olHcers were elected: President. J. B. McCreary: vice pres!- dent, H. H. Mills: secretary and treas urer, R. H. Lowndes. The decision waa reached to apply to the legislature for a charter under the name of the Alumni Association of the Georgia School of Technology. The first matter of Importance which will be taken up by the society will be the effort to secure the passage of a bill through the legislature this sum mer Increasing the board of trustees from seven to nine members, and hav ing these two members named by the Alumni Association. The present board of trustees and the faculty of the school are heartily In sympathy with the movement. Large Alumni Banquet. The alumni banquet of the graduates of the Technological School on Thurs day night was the largest In the his tory of the school. Mr. William H.

President Matheson, Chancellor Bar- row, of the University of Georgia: Governor Terrell and Hon. N. E. Har ris, of Macon. After the banquet the graduating class marched out to the campus, where they held one last meeting.

A paper waa read from the American Federation of Labor on the employees of large manufactories being subject to accidents and not being able to get damage. This xvas referred to the eglslatlve committee to Investigate. A resolution was presented on tha attorney for the federation and the best wishes of the convention were extended to him. • The paper hangers petitioned the body to request the union people to stand by them and have their work done by union help, which was adopted.

HEARST Special to The Georgian. Augusta. Oa., June 33.—The Federation of Labor convention adopted a resolution presented yesterday morning by Mr. H. C.

Billings were aa follows: “Whereas, In ths present state of affairs as they exist In this coun try, where organised labor gets Its dally rebuffs from the money power, and kindred associates. It Is pleasing to note that when an Influential public-spirited person comes to the support of the tollers of the land we can but sound hla praises from ocean to ocean, and from the lakes of the 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 the man—William Randolph Hearst—therefore, be It “Resolved, That In Mr. Hearst organised labor of Georgia, the Em pire Btate of the South, as well aa the states composing this union of states, ha* a true and tried friend, not of the Sunday variety, but of the every-day walks of life. - "Resolved, That the name of William Randolph Hearst be enrolled upon the minutes of our body as an honorary life member, and that we ever keep hla many acts of kindness green In our memory, as ths true friend of the working men of America, and ths honest exponent of Jeffer sonian principles."

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 known to mor* Georgian* than any man of hla age In th* atate. Hla friendships are many. Ho haa lived In thres cltlea of tha state, and I defy Mr. Whatley or any olheO man to point to one dishonorable act In hla career. He has ever pitched his life upon a high plane. An association of fifteen year* with him haw taught me tff. trust him Implicitly. I have often been struck by his great distress of mind .when he feared that he had unwittingly done a man a wrong. Hla newspaper has been clean, and Its columns have been open to any man of any party and of any color who had anything to gay that waa of Interest to the public, and was at Ihe same time clean, elevating and uplifting.
