We, a committee appointed by
the president of the class of
lilOO of the University of Geor

memory of our classmate, John
II. Gordon Jones, submit the
following tribute of love and
respect:

The chart given on this page
shows the. attendance upon the
University from its opening in
lSOI to the year lK'Jo. In the
year ’00 the attendance was 200 ;
in '97 it sprang to 312, the high-
water mark ; in '90 it was .'102 ;
in ’99 it fell, on account of
clearly understood causes, to
240; in 1900, under the admin
istration of Chancellor Hill, it
ran up again to to 200. 1 his
coming vear bids fair to break
the record of a century for at
tendance, 200 cards having been
issued up to 10 a. in. on Tues
day, less than a week after the
opening, with many students in
Athens who have not yet regis-
tered. The numlieryet income
is large, and we may confidently
expect, before many weeks have
elapsed, to have over 300 on our
rolls.
The Freshman class last year
iiumltered more than 00 men ;
this year it will lie as large,
or larger. The Law class this
year breaks all records with 75
members.
Nor is this gratifying increase
the only augury of the future
growth of the University. Im
provements are noticed all along
the line. The Dormitory is full
to overflowing; so is the stu
dents’ Hall. New lalmratories
are being equipped. Books are
being added to our large libi ary,
which already numbers about
:{(),000 volumes.
Many students from other
states have come to partake of
the superior advantages offered
here, in spite of the tuition fee
now charged students who are
not residents of Georgia. B«st
