Buard of Trustees, not being compelled to

use the opportunity given for the defeat of
the measure, either this or as electors ot the
new Board they would be so wanting in
patriotism and interest in the great cause
of cducaton, ns to sacrifice the well being of
the State University by their unexpected in
difference to a high, honorable and compli
mentary trust, bestowed by the Geueral As
sembly of their native State. We have such
abiding faith in the unbounded interest which
these noble Georgians feel in their Stau
University, us to forbid our acceptance of
any such view of the matter, nor do vve
suppose that tbeGovernor was«so impressed
when he made the point of objection, not*
withstanding it is susceptible of such construc
tion. In justice to ourselves we must
stute iu this connection that the bill as |ms-
sed by the General Assembly was not such
as we desire or sought to have passed, nor
was it in several mqs cts acceptable to the
friends and suppqrters at the measure. The
bill as it passed the House of Representa
tives provided for the npimiiiimciii of the
new Board of Trustees by tho Governor,
which provision would have left no ground
for most of the points of objection, at least
for the most plausible objections, raised by
the Chief Executive. It Is but just, further
to state, that the Senate amendments were
accepted by the friends of the bill to meet
the objections <of the opponents thereof,
which objections were mainly based upon
the above cited provision of the original bil),
and which opponents, however, after the
amendments had, in defercnceto their view’s,
been accepted, failed to withdraw their op*
positiou.
Thus having briefly refered to the Gover
nors position in regard no this bill, we will
now content ourselves - wii h simply present*
ing what we honestly believe to be a justifi
cation of our course iu this matter and what
we concieve to be the duty of the present
. Board of Trustees, since the almost unan
imous verdict of the General Assembly,
which verdict, it may be fairly claimed,
conics with no ue;-ertain sound from the
whole people of Georgia through thrir Repre
sentative*,leaving the Governor’s communica
tion to answer for itself and the public to
determine as to whether His Excellency acted
justly, wisely and for the best interest of the
University.
