We, a committee appointed by the president of the class of lilOO of the University of Geor gia, to draft resolutions to the memory of our classmate, John II. Gordon Jones, submit the following tribute of love and respect: “ The baud of Providence has fallen: the Grim Reaper has reached down and plucked from ipening of college j the garden of young manhood, entered into one of its choicest flowers, tin THE CHAIR OF ENGLISH. Prof. R. E. Park. Park And 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.
