The Board ol'Tiustees, of the Unis
ver-ily ot Georgia, have tinder con'
aideration li>e piepositiOn to organiie
from \ heir body a Board of regents to
act as mi executive 'Committee who
shall lc.ve in their hands all of the
business ol the University, and shall
report nnunally to the general Board
Said hoard ot regents to he paid for
their servicis. This move is eminently
practic.'.l and in the proj>cr direction,
rclli ding j>n at i redit u|>oii the brains
and bnsitn ss capacity of the board
now in si ssion.
iTt t n \ i7V:itic ation
True cdi c iti"ii consists in the de-
velopinciit nr evolution of the mind,
the nun si nature and the physical
man. The frsl is now illustrated in
thecui riculutn of the University. The
second is developed through precept
and example from the mother’s knee,
and through the clerical and secular
schools. The third and last is devels
oped by the military exercises, which
are t ow a portion of the course in onr
University. These exercises should
not be conrideiod as only a means ot
making sold ers, but by regular exer
cise to give limith, strength and grace
to the student. Teaching him how
to carry liinisolt, how to walk, how to
salute bis superiors, how to develop
his cheat by the manual of arms, and
how to sustain his health and strength
by the daily military evolutions. To
perfect this idea let the Honorable
Board now in session take into con-
sbleralion the appointment ot a Corns
raandant and Inspector of Cadets, ot
the parent institution in Athens, and
of all the branch colleges, Dahlonega,
Cnthben, Thomasville and Milledge-
ville. A hoy who is a physical wreck
from want ol a thorough physical ed-
ubalion, is at the hour of his graduq-
j tidjn totally unfit for the laborious du-
liS, which attend him in the great
baflle of life u[Kin which he then en*
ters. One officer can attend ail of
the Colleges, and his salary can he
secured by a very small annual as
st ssmeut Upon eacb strident. We beg
a consideration of 'bis subject by the
Board of Trustees at their present
session.
As tin mind is trained and developed
day after day, by regular lectures and
recitations, so the body, (the ca-kct
ol this wonderful jewel,) will he de
veloped into health and strength, and
the great and important (ruths of
‘Sanitary law’ will he impressed upon
the student who is gradually develop
ing into manhood.
The University Battalion and the
Alla ns Guards both need an arnney
and gymnasium. If the Trustees wiil
not give one to the former alone, let
the Local Boaid of Tru-tecs, the
Chancellor, Faculty and citizens ot
Alliens all combine to secure a drill
room and gymnasium, as e<>mt
pnqierty for University Battalion and
Athens Guards. Our Local Board,
Faculty and citizens should remember
that ‘the Gods help those who first try
to help themselves.’
