UNIVERSITY OP GEORGIA,
At 11 l.ns, Nov. Ci, 1321. >
To the Honorable the. J.egislnture of Clear
gin, now in Session,
Tlie Trustees 1 f the University of 'Geop
gia would respectfully represent to >i ur
honorab e body, that tlie jttesent count*
lion of the Institution is such as to claim
an early arid r.o inConsideialdj| share of
your deliueralions —and white, 111 duly to
the responsible trust they hold, they are
constrained to make this suggestion, yet
it is a mutter of undissetnbled congratula
tion, that the occasion which demands it,
is not of that inauspicious character whic.i
has usually characterized its plaints. —
From the former standing of the Univer
sity, and tlie repeated applications here
tofore made in its behalf. Use Trustees
are awate they mge a topic, upon which
public sentiment may tie restless, and
perhaps calculated to weary liie patience
of the Legislature.
• But they fondly hope your honorable
body will acquit them of all improper mo
tives or sellisli views, in bringing tins
subject once more before you, when yon
Consider mat it is one peculiarly national,
one th»t interests the whole community,
in which some of Georgia’s best and grea 1 -
est statesmen, who are now no more, took
a deep and heartfelt concern, upon which
as to its vita’ importance, all civilized so*
cicties criteria n an undivided conviction
and about which at this moment tin re is
►displaying throughout the Union an ardor
of feeling and a magnanimity es action
well becoming, k in every way worthy, the
proud and elevated character of the states
This institution it, confessedly the proper
ty of the stale, and contains within its
nurturing bosom, emphatically the “rising
hopes” of the country. Its. generous
Blunders, nearly forty years ago, thus con
sidered it, and it has been so esteemed
by the liberal patronage of sue. ceding
Legislatures. Why therefore should the
Trustees feel ntty diffidence in submitting
■ he affairs of this useful state establishment
to the enlightened representatives of the
people ? Why are they placed over its di
rection, if (bey hesitate to Jay before its
iiunificent parent, from-which it has a
cotisiilutional right to expect all its sup.
port, a faith! al statement of its wants ? If
the Legislature are to be influenced by
that paramount obligation widch requires
them to grant “further donations and
.uivileges” to the established seminaries
of the state, can it be dune without offi
cial information from those entrusted with
‘heir management that the necessity ex
ists ? It becomes the hoiiuden duty of
ihe Trustees, rising superior to ail per
somd considerations 111 which their own
vpu'a ion as well as that oS' their country
s involved, not to suffer the gicat liljiia
iMt-y concerns of the slate, cnt.fi led to
ih-in, to wither in their hands either front
motives of false delicacy or a fear that
any reasonable and respectful claim will
be disregarded. Under impressions like
liicse they proceed to state, that the Gol
lege at Alliens is in a higidy flourishing
> condition, realizing in a'.l respects tlieir
most sanguine expectations That the
inos- efti nent and profitable administra
tion of its interim) alliurs now prevails—
That it is extensively, though not com
pletely furnished with tlie usual Philo*
sophical Apparatus and Library, that all
its present edifices a:s In a iwut and se
cure stale of repair—But that these cb
ji.cls have been obtained, as must obvi
ously appear to your honorable body, at
a very great expense which doubtless
cottl l have easily been sustained by the
existing funds of tlie insulation, but for
circumstances *>ver which the Tiusteef
could luivi- no control. It will be renirnt
bored that the resources of the University
arc derived from Bank Stock, in tli
year 1816 the L<gislutuie wisely convert
ed the propei ty of the institution, then
c-ins.sting of unprofitable lease hold es
tales, into an active lloiik Stock fund, am!
generously vested t:>* proceeds, for its
use, in the Stale Bank about' that time
established. The stock iq tlie commence
ment ot the operations of the Bank end
for several tea.s - after, as is well known,
became extremely productive, yielding
from ten to twelve per cent annually, b«
sides 011 one occasion a very conskle-able
Hon ns. This, for the time, placed the
University in ample funds, and the pres
ent Trustees, in effecting the objects be
fore enumeiated, prudently regulated
their measures with the limits of their in
cjne, and have in no instance excee.tec
its bounds ; so that the institution, with
reference to the engagements necessary
to accomplish all precedent undertakings,
is nowperfectly unembarrassed—but their
future plans and arrangements, calculated 1
to promote the'-welfare of the College, <
am! made in a view of a continuance of <
this pecuniary prosperity, will, from an t
unfortunate and singular revolution in the i
iitiairs of men, not readily to be foreseen, 1
he rendered illusory, and as to all con- t
:emplaned results certainly disappointed, 1
unless there is ungenerous Legislative in- t
veif. rcnce. One bftliese plans is tliees c
tajdishnient cfaFree School at Athens, a
lie support of which the Trustees honest- o
'y, intended should entirely be derived -
from the funds of the University, but a .
■"eduction of one half and perhaps more b
01 its annual income, will compel them to I
abandon this favorite object, or prosecute A
dit the eminent hazard of the more im- e
)r t«nt interests of the College fbr which m
lC original endowment was notoriously
trig tied. F
’I his free school is now' very flourishing,'
nving seventy pupils from all pm I* of the
ate, and almost daily increasing—As a
nrsery so the College, il is signally pro- 1
toons, and authorizes the cm.Hdent ex
eclat ion of an annual increase to that de
triment, of not less than fifty students,
fno disaster hereafter hefal it. U will s
adity occur to your body, besides the (
... vantages above suggested, of what great (
miiortancc this seminary is to the state, (
»s being the first experiment in relation (
to free schools, upon the institution of ,
which, il is preparing'to enter with so ,
much zeal and libeiaily. Your future
uachfris of lice schools will be dra> n
ftoin* hence, instead of from the jVorth,
and having acquired their education un
der a system so kind and benevolent, a
tense o’s gratitude and pride will s'imnlatt
their exertions to give success to the
scheme in all its parts. This school, the .
Trustees'lament to declare, Ley are no
longer able to maintain, upon its present
footing, and therefore earnestly solicit the
state to take it under its loaleting cure.
Tlte prosperous condition of tlie Col
lege and the contemplated accession of
students during toe succeeding year, will
render another ed fire indispensably ne
cessary,' not only to answer the immedi
ate exigencies of the institution, but to
enable the Trustees in conduct its opera
tions upon the established usage of all use
ful and well regulated Colleges in every
part of die world. ’1 he present builoiug
is only calculated to accommodate eighty
students, with its appropriate number of
officers. * In the course of the next year,
ope hundred and forty students are reason
ably expected, ami there is no d-mbt the
number will flatteringly increase for se
verai successive years. If then tftc 13-di
section of the 4th article of the constitu
tion is ever to receive the legitimate con
struction of its framers, and to ment the
effectual regard of the Legislature, it is
respectlully conceived that the occasion
is now officially presented for the lull ac
complishment efits high behest.
The present revenue of the University
is barely sufficient to support the Col
iege, confined to its oi igiual objects, and
there will be nothing lift tithei iordie
Library or Apparatus, or repair the usual
decay s < f such an extensive, establishment.
It must be obvious that these are consid
erations that do not need the aid of argu
ment to shew how much they require re
lief, and what serious piejudite must at
tend their neglect.
'1 he Trustees will not presume to die
tatc to the Legislature the course neces
sary to obviate the difficulties herein ex
hibited, believing that their betlei wisdom
will apply a more complete and suitable
remedy than can be suggested by persons
who are so little conversant with the ie
sources of the slate, and with which, to
ensure perfect efficiency to whatever
measure may be adopted, it is requisite
to be intimately familiar.
W hen the'Trusicts reflect with what
a libera! hand the institution was original
ly « ndowed, with what care and affection
it has since Ineu cherished by every suc
ceeding Legislature, that the public send
in. tit with regard to it is more lib. rafiz .d
and enlightened, they indulge animating
hope that now every private and popular
expectation in relation to it is about to
he ges e i- ed, it will not be deserted in
tins us last trying hour. For the sake
of those who founded it, for‘lie sake of the
expenditures that have raised it to ils,prct ;
sent usefulness, for the sake of the great
objects which it has so long prom-sed,
and which it will n..w assuredly fulfil, will
it be considered importunate to suppli
cate tlie fur her patronage of the Le
gislature ? This then, is done in terms,
though earnest, yet perfectly respectful.
The Legislature inav rest satisfied, nay
they must be convinced that the Trustees
have no individual objects to answer or
private wishes to gratify. Their inter
est in the welfare of the institution
is by n< means a separate one: ic lis
in common with tlie rest of their fellow
citizens. It is true they fee! a lively con
cern for its success, because some of their
must ellcctionate sympa hies have beta
identified with its character a.,id in
terwoven with its destiny; and because
they have felt all tlie tender anxeties con
squent upon (he discharge of delicate
responsible duties, but solar us private
reputation is at stake, they fondly flatter
themselves that its present flourishing
situation will leave them nothing to
dread.
It is then more on account of the pub
lic character of their State, they' ought
to feel sohcitt.de. While some states are
adding largely to the parsimony of old
institutions, and others commencing new
ones upon plans almost unrivalled in’
splendor and liberality, it would be a
source of inexpressible mortification to
witness the Univeisity of Georgia, pro
m-sing as it does, to be inferior to none
in usefulness and reputation, sinking into
obscurity for-the want of public counten
ance The Trustees do not harbor the
most distant thought that this is to be its
ultimate fate. The Legislature have on
all occasions manifested a contrary dispo
sition, and when proper’y convinced of
necessity of aid it has never been with
held.
Instead of indulging an inclination to
change our policy in relation to learning
and public education, tlie inducements
are multiplied to persevere,with increased
zeal, in a course calculated to establish
their benefits upon a more solid and in
dependent basis and to perpetuate their
blessings to the latest ages. If from recent
events sectional feelings are to he contin
ued, and that they have commenced, we
have hut too melancholy a proof, in what
should wc be more independent than in
the education of our youths ? Can 'ajiy
thing be more lastingly important than
proper habits of thinking, correct mo
tives of action, a steady and ardent love 1
of country a firm attachment to its lan s ijt I
customs and a high minded devotion to 1
the principles of its constitution Ifthese *
inestimable traits are to be conveyed with <
