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 ?
