TECH CLASS-OF1
ENTERS REAL LIFE
BRILLIANT, GRADUATION EX-
EROISES 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
rlass of 1906 was the largest that has
left the school. Thirty-nine men re
ceived their diplomas, and President
Matheson announced M. R. Maclean
had completed the' prescribed couree,
with the exception! of some shop time,
end that when-this was, made up his
diploma would be granted him and h|»
name enrolled with: the members of his
class. ,
Dean Jamee E. Russell, as the princi
pal speaker of the evening, delivered
a masterly address on "The Opportuni
ties and Responslhllltes of Professional
Bervlces,” 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 students of the
Hubject of why America had succeeded
so 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).Cl) A golden opportunity
In it hew country'marvelously rich In
natural resources; (2) the disposition
of the average American to take
chances, to play the game to the end,
whatever the odds, and (!) professional
training directed ^practical ends.
He cited the instance of Denmark,
which has made tremendous industrial
strides toward Industrial development
during the last thirty years, and stated
that to.a.very large degree It wai due
to the universal tralnlpg as experts
which Is 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 so, and
were expected to take their part In the
development of the section.
The Oath of Hippocrates.
In conelusfbn, he recited to them the
oath of Hippocrates. which for centu
ries has been administered to physi
cians and surgeons who are graduat
ing. Whtle.no such rigid oath of alle
giance to His 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 waa then
Introduced by President Matheson. He
stated that he had seen In the papers
"f the city that the theses of the entire
graduating, class were to be read, and
In looking over the titles he had
every reason to be profoundly grateful
that this portion of the program had
been omitted. Expressing hi* entire Ig
norance but high appreciation of the
science of mathematics,, he delivered to
Robert Allah Anderson the medal of
fered by Colonel Walter P. Andrews for
the bests average during his entire
course In pure mathematics. The other
medal offered was by the New England
Cotton Manufacturers’ Association for
the best thesis In textile engineering,
end was won by Mr. Wiley Nesbtt
Bagwell.
George Foster Peabody 8ps*ks.
President Matheson then Introduced
Hon. George Foster Peabody, who made
» short address on the opportunities
which await the technically' trained
man. euch as those who received their
diplomas from the Tech. He expressed
his pleasure over the election of Chan
cellor Barrow and of President Mathe-
'on, and stated that with the assuming
of Control by these two men of the
largest educational Institutions of the
•tale he hoped to see developed a
wronger feeling of fellowship In the
oneness of their work.
Chancellor Barrow was called upon
b r President Matheson for a few
words, and asked the privilege of
►leaking them to the members of the
graduating class. He urged upon them
’he absolute necessity of unselfishness
if they would succeed, and tnen quoted
I® them a letter which he received
from Dr. LeRoy Brown, when he wae
about to take his flrst position after
graduation. It had only one sentence
and that was: "Make yourself
ful that your services cannot be dls
pensed with, and your rise Is certain.’
He quoted Bismarck's famous state
ment: "We Germane fear God and
nothing else,” and he urged It upon
every man there to fenr God and
nothing else, and they would always
And Him ready In time of need.
Hon. N. E. Harris, the chairman
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 poet 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 was de
llvered by President Matheson. He
held up to the members of the gradu
atlng class the high position which
they will hold In the Industrial devel
opment of the South, and tho neces
sity for earnest-and conscientious ef
fort. He spoke of the need of men to
develop the mineral resources of the
state, stating that the school had had
many calls for mining experts which
It had been unable to fill, and, ns a
consequence there had been added to
the courses already offered by the
school, that of mining engineering, and
i-i '-'ilct.Mi ;i bright future for those who
■halt take up this branch.

W. G. SUTLIVE ANSWERS
G. B. WHATLEY IN BEHALF
OF PLEASANT A. STOVALL
To the 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
alt Idly by and sea him attacked aa-he
has been In your columns by Mr. G. B.
Whatley, without roJelng iny voice In
his defence. This letter la being writ
ten entirely without Mr. Stovall's
knowledge and before he has seen the
letter of Mr. Whatloy. Were he within
the hounds of the stato at this time, or
so dole to Savannah that he could see
the enrd of the 8avannah-Meldrlm at
torney and answer It hlmaelf, there
would be no need of my making an ef
fort In that direction.
With the question- of vote buying In
the last election and with the editorial
attacks of tha press of the state upon
the politicians of Chatham county, I
have little to do. I do object, however,
to the term used by Mr. Whatley when
he aaya the "The Havannah Press,
through Its hired correspondents," sent
broadcast over the state the atnrlra of
corruption In the primary. This Is In
a measure an attack upon me, aa i krai
the only man In The Havaimnh itch
office who eont to out-of-town news
papers any account of votes being pur
chased. ' It waa done without consulta
tion with Mr. Stovall nnd solely
■ , .1-1, .1 „'n«r ,.r ,IIIt v. I I..-II..V.-.I
that the papers who trust me lo send
them the news from Savannah should
have a correct statement as to tha
practice of both sides In the purchase
of votes nnd tried lo perform this ser
vice. Mr. Whatleys peculiar connec
11 "ii w nil "The Men. Mlcln."
of. the People's Democratic League,
fear, has dimmed ,hla faculties to an
appreciation of the fact that a man
citn be connected with a newspaper and
have convictions of his own.
Mr. Whatley, In his card, uses thla
language:
"unfortunately, Mr. Stovall, the edi
tor of The Press, and the Citizens'
Club candidate for stnto senator, went
down with his ticket. Chaffing under
his humiliating defeat, It was only
natural that his paper, through
corps of correspondents, should send
out this charge of buying nnd selling
voles. Everybody .veil knows that If
Hi-- .‘It I-.-hm’ ri.,1, tl.-krt no,I Mi S'-.
vail had won. there would have been
no report of vote-huylng nnd selling,
or any other Irregularity, no matter
how flagrantly nnd unblushlngly It may
have been committed."
No grenter slander waa ever penned.
Mr. Whatley, If he 'knows Colonel
Pleagant A. .Stovall even slightly, must
he aware that there le not In Georgia a
man of a higher aenae of honor. Ti
use auch arguments aa thla In defend
Ing the buying of votes or In refuta
tion of the statement that not as many
votes were bought aa In former elec
tions, Is to stoop to the argument of
the petty lawyer, and those acquainted
with Mr. Whatley'e largo practice and
extanalva business at the Havannah
bar must express aurprlae that ha
would place hlmaelf In this attitude.
Tha editorial In The Havannah Press
railing attention lo tha buying of votes
did .not excuse either side. It was an
appeal for better things In tha future.
It called attention to the many broad-
■Idaa tha fair name of the county had
received through'tha press of the state,
and asked for a campaign pitched upon
a higher plain In tha fiiture. In answer
to thla Mr. Whatley, supposedly speak
ing for a party of reformers, assails
the author of the editorial as one who
Insincere.
Colonel Btovall Is probably personally
known to more Georgians than any
man of hla age In tha state. His
friendships are many. Ha has lived In
three cltlea of the atate, and I defy Mr.
Whatley or any othar man to point to
one dishonorable act In hla career. Ha
haa ever pitched hie life upon a high
plane. An association of fifteen yeara
with him has taught me to trust him
Implicitly. I have often been struck by
hi* great distress of mind when he
feared that he had unwittingly dona, a
man a wrong. Hla newspaper haa
been clean and Its columns have been
open to any man of any party and of
any.color who had anything to aay that
waa of Interest to the public, and was
at the same time clean, elevating and
uplifting. Hla political opponents have
been forced In the campaign just ended
to admit that hla newspaper was the
only one In which they could get what
they termed a "square deal." It la In
deed trying to have a man of thla
stamp and rallber traduced by the
"hired editor" (to borrow Mr. What
ley’s own phrass) of a political organ
Mr. Whatley shows little acquaint
ance with the condurt of elections In
the peat when he says that vote-buying
In the primary of June 12 waa not car
ried on to a greater extent than before.
There haa never been an election In
thla county during the time that I have
been connected with Havannah news
papers where bidders stood upon street
corners bartering for votes as curb
brokers do for stocks. The tlckete that
were paid for were eo plentiful that
gentleman who once occupied a
Judicial position In the city, I am In-
d, voted one of the ballots strik
ingly marked on the back, and did not ■
oven slop to tear off the coupon which „
attached nnd properly punched, showed .
how much the voter woe to get for ‘
railing It. Of course, I do not Intend ’’
to say that he was pntd to cast this >
vote, hut evidently ho hnd n supply of '
tills kind on hand nnd cast It without J
destroying the evidence Hint It was of [I
that class. One of the most astound-
Ing tilings In connection with the elec- *
tlon was tho dlsplny a man who holds }
a colonel's commission In the slate mil- '*
Itary service was making of himself
nnd nn entire set of mnrked ballots In ;
the court-house during Hie counting of «
the votes. He Ivns' snvlng this set '
mnrked on Hie hack with various lurid -
devices ns n souvenir of the occasion.
There were fully two hundred young ,
men who got their flrst Insight Into (i
politics In this campaign. They have -
made n beginning that will aland out;.
In their memory for yearn to com* If „
thsy have any consciences and men of
mature year* like Mr. Whatley, mem- ,
her* of either faction, who either s*nc- k
tinned *uch work or entered Into It a*
a matter of "necessity" have upon their [
heads the sin of debauching ' the
mln.ls of these, young men ns 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
t., -peak In ,1, r, io„. of one whom I
know and whom .Mr. Whutley should
know from his acquaintance with him.
Is above reproach. No good citizen of
Georgia believes that "I’leae Htovall"
took pnrt In the buying of votes, and,
after all, that Is the only class whose
opinion Is worth anything.
