TECH CLASS OF I
ENTERS REAL LIFE
BRILLIANT GRADUATION EX
ERCISES HELD AT BIJOU.
Forty Practical Scientists Are
Graduated From the Lo
cal School.
The graduating exercises of the
Georgia School of Technology, held at
the Bijou theater Thursday night, were
the most brilliant In the history of the
institution. With one exception, the
• lass of 1806 was the largest that had
left the school. Thirty-nine men -re
ceived their diplomas, and President
Mntheson : announced M. It Maclean
had completed the prescribed course,
with the .exception. <jf some »hop time,
nnd that when thle was made up hie
diploma would be granted him and hit
name enrolled with the membera of hie
class.
Dean James E. Russell, as the princi
pal speaker of the evening, delivered
a masterly address on “The Opportuni
ties and Responelbllltes of Profeaelonal
Services,” which was carefully listened
to and appreciated by the large au
dience present. In the beginning he
referred to three reasons which had
been given by expert atudenta of the
subject of why America had succeeded
so far In advance of the rest of tha
world In the race for commercial su
premacy, when an Engltsl
that his countrymen pay
wages whsre Americana pay a half dol
lar. The reasons glvsn by the various
experts were: (1) A golden opportunity
In a new country marvelously rich In
natural resources; (3) Ihe disposition
of the average American to take
chances, to play the game (o the end,
w hatever the odds, and (I) professional
tralnlpg directed (^practical ends.
He cited the Instance of Denmark,
which has made tremendous Industrial
strides toward" Industrial development
<)living the last thirty yean, and stated
thnt to a very large degree It was due
to the universal training as experts
which Is a part of the educational sys
tem of the nation. This, he said, was
w hat would make the South great, and
the men who went forth from the Tech
nological school were trained so, and
were expected to take their part In the
development of the eectlon.
The Oath of Hippocrates.
In conclusion, he recited to them the
oath of Hippocrates, which for centu
rips has been administered to physi
cians and surgeons who ere graduat
ing. While no such rlgld oath of alle
giance to his profession and the uplift
of his fellow man was required of Ihe
engineer, still he must realise that the
truest success was foundsd on aervlca
to his fellow man.
Hon. John Temple Graves waa then
Introduced by President Mathsson. He
Mated that he had seen In the papers
of the city that the theses of the entire
graduating clasa were to be read, and
In looking over the titles he had
• very reason to be profoundly grateful
• hat 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 beet average during hie entire
course In pure mathematics. The other
medal offered waa by the New England
Cotton Manufacturers’ Association for
the best thesis In textile engineering,
and was won by iff. Wiley Nesbit
BagweU.
George Foster Peabody Speaks.
President Matheson then Introduced
Hon. oeorge Foster Peabody; who made
a short address on the opportunities
which await the technically trained
man. such aa those who received their
diplomas from the Tech. He expressed
hie pleasure over the election or Chan-
< ellor 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.
Chancellor Barrow was called upon
by President Matheson for a few
words, and asked the privilege of
speaking them to the members of the
graduating class. He urged upon them
'he absolute necessity of unselfishness
f they would succeed, and then quoted
to them a letter which he resolved
from Dr. LeRoy Brown, when he was
about to take his first position after
graduation. It had only one sentence
ful that your services cannot be dls-
S insed with, and your rise la certain."
e quoted Bismarck’s famous state
ment: “We Serbians fear Sod and
nothing else," and he urged It upon
every man there to fear God and.
nothing slse, 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 has 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.
Baccalaureate Address.
The baccalaureate address waa de
livered by President Matheson. He
held up to the members of the gradu
ating close the high position which
they will hold In the Industrial devel
opment of the South, and the neces
sity for earnest and eonsclsntlous ef
fort. He spoke of the need of men to
develop the mineral resources of the
atate, stating that the school had had
many calls for mining experts which
It had been unable to All, and, aa a
consequence there had been added to
the courses already offered by the
school,, that of mining engineering, and
predicted a bright future for those who
shall take up' this branch.

"Whereas, In the present state of affairs as they exist In this coun

IV. G. SUTL1VE A NS WEES j
G B. WHATLEY IN BEHALF
OF PLEASANT A. STOVALL
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In the absence from Ihs city of Col
onel Pleasant A. Stovall, editor and
owner of The Savannah Press, I cnnrtot
alt Idly by and see him attached as he
has besn In your columns by Mr. G. n.
Whsllay, without raising my voles 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 state nt this time, or
so class to Savannah that he could see
Ihe card.of the Savannah-Mrldrlm at
torney nnd answer It himself, there
would he no need of my making an ef
fort In that'direction.
With the queffllon of Vole buying In
the last election and with tho editorial
attacks of the press of the stats upon
the politicians of Chatham county, I
have little to do. I do object, however,
to the term used by Mr. Whatley when
he says the "The Savannah Press,
through lie hired correspondents,” sent
broadcast over Ihe stale the stories of
corruption In the primary. This la In
n measure nn attack upon me, ns I was
the only mon In The Savannah Press
office who sent to out-qf-tnwn news
papers any account of votes being pur
chased. • It woe done without consulta
tion with Mr, Stovall and nulelj
through n sense of duty. I believes
thnt the papers who trust me to send
them the news from Savannah should
haye a correct statement as to the
practice of both sides In tha purchase
of voles end tried lo perform this ser
vice. Mr. Whatley's peculiar connec
tion with “The Searchlight," Ihe organ
of Ihe People's.Democratic Lessor. 1
fear, haii dimmed hie famine
appreciation of the fart that a msn
ran be connected with n newspaper und
have convictions of hie own.
Mr. Whnttey, In hie card, uses this
lanftiA(e: ».,*.*•
“Unfortunately, Mr. Stovall, the edl
lor of The Press, and tha CltJsens'
Club rundldnto for stats ‘senator, went
down with his tlrkel. Chaffing under
Ills humiliating defeat, It was .only
natural that ,his paper, through Its
orps ■ n( correspondents, should sand
out this charge of buying and eelllm
votes. Everybody well (nows Ihst If
the (’aliens' Club ticket end Mr. Sto
vall had won, there would have been
no report of vote-buying anil selling,
or any other Irregularity, no matter
haw flagrantly and unblushlngly It miy
have been rommltted.’*,
No greater slander wss ever penned
Mr. Whatley, If he knows Colonel
Pleaaant A. Htovall even filthily, mutt
lie aware that there Is not In Georgia a
man of n higher sens# of honor. To
UHs such arguments as this In defend
Ing Ihe buying or voles or In refute
tlon of the statement that not as many
votes wars bought as In former elec
Hons, Is to stoop to Ihs argument of
the petty lawyer, anil those acquainted
with Mr. Whatley’s lafge practice and
extensive business .at the Savannah
bar must express surprise that ha
would piers himself In this attliude.
The editorial In The Savannah Press
. illlng attention to rha btij'
did not excuse either aide. It was an
appeal for better things In the future.
It called attention to Ihs many broad
sides the fair name of the county had
received through tbe prate of Ihe stats,
and asked for a campaign pitched upon
higher plain In Ihe future. In answer
to this Mr. Whatley, suppoa
Ing for a party of reformers, assails
the author of the editorial aa one who
Insincere.
Colonel Stovsll le probably personally
known to more Georgians than any
man of his age In the etate. Hie
friendships are many. He haa lived In
three cltlee of the etate, and I defy Mr.
Whatley or any other msn to point to
ns dishonorable set la hla career. ■ lie
aa ever pitched hla life upon a high
plans. An association of fifteen years
with him hsa taught ms to 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. Hie newspaper haa
been clean and Ita columnt have been
open to any man of any party and. of
any color who had anything to say that
was of Interest to the public, and was
the same time clehn, elevating and
uplifting. His political opponents have
been forced In Ihe campaign just ended
to admit that his newspaper Wes the
only one In which they could get what
they termed a “square dial." It Is In
deed trying to have a man of thle
stamp and caliber traduced by the
hired editor" (to borrow Mr. What-
y’s own phrase) of a political organ.
Mr. Whatley ehowe little acquaint
ance with the conduct of elections In
the past when he ssye that rote-buytnr
In the primary of June 12 wae not car-
ried on to a greater extent than before.
There has never been an election In
this county during the time that I have
been connected with Savannah news-
papere where bidders stood upon street
corners bartering for votes as curb
brokers do tor stocks. The tickets that
ware paid for were so plentiful that
one gentleman who once occupied tt
judicial position In Ihe city, I am In
formed, voted one of the ballots strike
Ingly marked on the back, and did not
even etop to tear off the coupon which
attached nnd properly punched, showed
how much the voter was to gel for
casting It. Of course, I do not Intend,
to say III it lo- mi, i1,1 to . nn this
vote, but evidently he had a supply of
this kind on hand and cast It without
destroying the evidon. Hmt it wns of
lhat class. One of the most ustnund-
Ing things In connection with the eiec-_
Hon wns the display a mnn who holds’
it colonel’s commission In Hie state mil
itary service wns mailing of himself
nnd an entire set of marked ballots In.
the rnurt-housa during the counting of
Hie votes. He was saving this set
mnrked nn the berk with various lurid
devices ns a souvenir of the occasion.
There were fully two hundred young
men who got their first Insight Into
imlltlrs In this campaign. They havo
made a beginning that will aland out
In their memory for years to corns If
they have any consciences and men of
mature years like Mr. Whatley, mem
bers of either faction, who either sanc
tioned such work or entered Into It as
a matter of "necessity" have upon their
heads the eln of debauching the,
minds of theso young men ns to the
proper way to win tin election. Mr.
Whatley Is a much older mart than I,
and I should have hesitated to have
replied to hint had I not been Impelled
to speak In defense of one whom L
know and whom Mr. Whatley should,
know from hla acquaintance with him.
