EXAMINATIONS.
The several papers of the younir
gentlemen with few exceptions, were
highly creditable and gave evidence of
study and careful preparation. As
compared with previous examinations
there was a decided improvement in
the orthography and handwriting of
the class, and also in the style of com
position. Very few grammatical er
rors and mistakes in spelling were
noticed. From the scope of the ques
tions propounded for answer in the
examination room, it was apparnt
that they covered the ground in each
study as well as could be expected,
and showed that the professors had
been faithful and exhaustive in their
teachings. From time to lime the
newest and most approved text books
have been substituted for those which
had been supplanted by the discove
ries and improvements in modern
science, until now the university is
supplied with the very best produc
tions of the most distinguished authois
in all the branches of her curriculum.
ATTENTION TO FUNDAMENTAL STUDIES.
We would, howeve-, recommend,
in view of the imperfect scholarship
of many matriculates who are receiv
ed, that as formerly, before the insti
tution of the university system, the
students in every department be re
quired to stand an examination at the
end of each term in arithmetic and
geography. Too much stress cannot
tie laid upon the importance of thor
ough training in these useful branch
es, which underlie the very founda
tions of practical knowledge.
NUMBER OF STUDENTS.
For the current year the chancellor
reports in attendance a total of 1,279
matriculates iu all the departments of
the university. These are devided as

bnildings was generously donated to
Mrs. P. A. SSummey and Mrs. G.
W. Richardson by the board of trus
tees, provided they would furnish
good board to the students at $12 per
month. These exemplary aud culti
vated ladies have tally oomplied with
their obligation, and the young men
have now the benefit ol a bountifully
supplied table and refined female socie
ty together with a room in the college,
rent free, at the above very moderate
outlay. This was the regular charge
for board in the palmy, ante-bellum
days of old. . Should auy desire, how
ever, to five even cheaper, it is per
fectly practicable to do so by forming
messes, hiring apartments, purchasing
their supplies conjointly. In this
manner the cost of board might be
reduced to about 87 per month.
The board were invited to dine
with Mrs. Suramey and Mrs. Richs
ardson respectively, in an informal
manner, and found their large estab
lishments in the best order, and an
abundant spread of wholesome and
well cookeu food.
INCOME OF THE UNIVERSITY.

the venerable treasurer, W. L.

the institution to be in a healthy con

TBE GENERAL MEASURE.
We are glad to chronicle the fact
that under the liberal donation grant
ed by the board, of trustees for that
purpose. Professor White is engaged
in bringing order out of chaos by
separating, classifying anew, and la
belling thousands of the valuable
minerals and curiosities which, since
the war, have been lying pell-mell in
one confused heap. When his labors
are concluded this museum will be an
ornament to the university.
APPARATUS.
Under the guidance of Professors
Cbarbonnier and White the board
visited Moore college and carefully
examined the chemicals, mineralogi
cal specimens, and y&ried and costly
apparatus, which at heavy expense
have been added to the univerisity
within the past few years. Every
thing was in perfect order and in its
appropiirte place. It is claimed that
no institution nqjth or south is better
equipped than our university, or pos
sesses more perfect facilities for the
practical teaching and illustration of
chemistry, engineering and the phys
ical sciences generally,

Ferdinand Phihizy, visited and care
fully examined the experimental farm,
which is under tbe eharge of the pro
fessor of agriculture and horticulture
—Gen. Wra. M. Browne. '
Tbis eircumsoribed^areaof ground,
small as it is, can and will be made of
vast benefit to the general interests of
the husbandman. The farm has been
made self-sustaining and not a dollar
was drawn from the treasury of the
university for its support during the
past year. General Browne resides
on the premises and gives bis personal
attention to every detail.
forty-two
tests of fertilizers have been made,
covering the most popular brands in
use. Each is applied to a section of
five rows—the alternate five receiv
ing no artificial help. The results
will be kept separate and carefully
noted.
Tbe professor is also instituting an*
other very interesting and useful test.
This consists of 26 sets of five rows
each, on virgin soil just cleared, upon
which the best nitrogenising com
pounds have been applied in equal
quantities. The object sought is to
ascertain how much nitrogen is nec
essary in the growth in that fertilizing
element. The result may tend great
ly to cheapen the cost of fertilizers.
Experiment as to distance in the
planting of corn and cotton, and the
various modes of cultivation are bes
ing tested also the preseht year.
About forty-five acres are in culti
vation on the farm, and the work
seemed to be .systematically, and skill
fully done. One.very important ad
dendum, however; is still lacking, and
Grand Assembly. It provides for tbe
appropriation of $20,000 by the

to inaugurate and forward the~expo-
sition in Atlanta deserve great cedit
aad4tiajjQthinfc.bqt_right now that
they should receive the substantial
enqp^ragaafent of flie' legislature in
this appropriation. It will not do fbr
Georgia to fall behind other states in
the exhibit she.makeo and pride should
induce tho general assembly to give
this aid, if,there weye no stronger mo
tive. But thert'is a stronger. This
expenditure will iu all likelihood be
the meand of enriching the stale ten
fold in calling attention to our re
sources,.in inducing capital to come
hero and in drawing immigration.
The Benefits that may accure are not
to be computed while no kMs or harm
can result. Nearly all the other
states will be represented aud Geor
gia must not fail to present a showing
commensurate with her tame and
worthy of her high character as the
empire state of the south. We hope
the legislature will ungrudgingly give
the money.l
In this connection we will say that
Athens is not moving in the matter
as she might. Some action should be
taken by our business men to be rep
resented and they, iu connection with
the city council should take steps to
have Athens claims ao presented as
to induce a portion of the expected
benefits to come in our direction. It
is a matter worth consideration:

This shows a falling off of nine in
the aggregate for the preceding year.
IN THE COLLEGIATE OBADE
exclusive of the law and medical de
partments and two post graduates,
there are at Athens 148 undergradu
ates—showing a gain of three over
last year.
In the branch colleges 152 are pur
suing the studies of the freshman and
sophomore classes, and when tbe five
seniors and three juniors are added
from the North Georgia college, it
will be roen that the whole number
of cellegiate undergraduates foots" up
308 against 274 for the past year—
showing an increase of 34 for the
university systsm; a pretty fair ad
dition.
Are tbe branch colleges
FEEDERS TO THE PARENT INSTITU
TION?
Chancellor Mell informed the board
that the North Georgia agricultural
college at Dahlonega has contribut
ed some" fifteen students' to the
present junior class of the uni
versity and promisee to be a val
uable auxiliary. So far, the oth-
branch ’fcoUegea have done
nothing for the mother foundation.
He stated, however that several
young men .were expected at the
oponingof the next season in Octo
ber. These subordinate institutions
have not as yet had sufficient time to
jdem&natrpie wheth«.they will prove
sources of aggrandizement or injury
tbe university. It is to be hoped
it many youths at the conclusion of
prescribed 1 and limited educational
course of the branch colleges, having
lasted of the inspiring waters of the
Pierian spring, will seek to drink
deeper at the magical fount by avail
ing themselves of the superior oppor
tunities of the parent schools at
Athens.
It woald be premature to assert
that these branches have been or will
prove injurious to tbe main trunk of
the university. But in the mean
time we have the comfortiug assu
rance that they are greatly exuanding
the sphere and character of education
in tbe section, where severally- lo
cated.
change has worked well in practice
and materially expedited operations.
Early in May the professor and his
assistants, Messrs, Louis H. Jones
and James A. Watson, aided by
Due ^rimVand 81, mterert on U “ d ' jo4 «T fnelhberb of the class, had finished
p their labors by the careful analysis of
no less than
TUREE HUNDRED
samples of fertilizers which had been
submitted by the inspectors for chem
ical verification. The celerity and
accuracy with whieh their task was
perlormed, enable the; farmers before
planting to make an intelligent selec
tion of such compounds as were best
adapted to their lands. This gave
them an immense advantage m the
pitching of their crops. In this con
nection it is but proper to state that
without any external aid whatever,
one of the students, J. A. Watson,
has succeeded in constructing several
PERFECT TELEPHONES,
which are now. in daily use in the
college. Profesjor .Cbarbonnier also
is constantly manufacturing the most
delicate instruments and pieces of
, apparatus with hia, own hands. An
■ inspection of the laboratories of that
gentleman and Proffessor ^ White
would prove highly entertaining and
edifying to every yisitor_of the uni
versity.
THE CAMPUS
And we find the grand total of reve
nue to be $40,370 70

the fiscal year, if any, will be very

There are but
THIRTY PAYING STUDENTS
in the university, and tbe whole
amount derived from tuition fees,falls
short of 2,100. A beggarly showing
indeed. Bat this furnishes the most
werful argument that can be ad-
~ in favor of the total abolish,

mediate inauguration of
free tuition.

The step already taken in that direo
tion by the trustees of the university
in the establisment of four subsidiary
branches of tbe main Athens founda
tion, all of them, free, makes the nec
essity inevitable that the parent insti
tution must ere long extend the same
guerdon to her matriculates. Failing
to do so,there will be an immense loss
of prestige and popularity to the uni-
versity among the masses. However
wrong and unfounded, tlio fact can- 1
not be diatinguised that i cores of sen
sitive farmers and men in moderate
circumstances, refuse to accept of the
free scholarships tendered by trustees,
from the belief that. their sons
wards will occupy interior positionWin
the university and be looked do'
upon as charity students.
Every attempt thus far has tailed
to disabuse them ol this erroneous
idea, and as a consequence onr noble
institution languishes. Abolish thaj
charges, however, which yield the pit
iful sum of 82,000 only—an amount
too,which will constantly ‘growsmallei
and beautifully less,” and the first re
sult will be a large increase of students
at Athens from the ranks of the fresh
man and sophomore classes in the
inch colleges, many of whom, at-
d them from motives of economy,”

FEASIBILITY OF THE MEASURE.
U need only be said that the custom
ary contingent fee of ten dollars per
student, which is required in each
of the branch colleges, with perhaps
five dollars more to keep the appara
tus in order and provide chemicals for
daily use,would in less than two years
double or treble the present amount
derived from tuition. The report of
the last board ot visitors showed also
bow other sums could be raised,if nep
essarv, by certain retrenchments aud

but will uot be repeated. Suffice it to
say if the experiment, were made we

that now is the time for nlctioD in .the

The attention ot the honorable board

MEB3KR AND EMORY COLLEGES
with far* seeing
and grounds of the institution .have
been vastly improved and beautified
within the past year. The credit J of
this work must be divided between
the noted horticulturist, Mr. Berck-
mans, of Augusta, and Hon. Y. L.
Harris. The former generously do
nated a latge number of exotic trees
and shrubs, the planting of which he
personally superintended, and also
dratted a plan for the laying out of
the grounds. Col Harris, at 'nis own
expense, has graded and terraced all
the unsightly areas around Moore
college, and covered with a coating
ot Bermuda grass the erst-while far
rowed hillsides and yawning gullies.
No lees than 4,000 wagon loads ot
earth were required for that purpose.
Ip-Mr. Meeker, to», is much praise
due for carrying out tbe plan of Mr.
P, J. Berckman and grading and
'sowing in clover and grass the cam
pus grounds. The transformation in
the appearance of the college com
mon is already strikingly apparent.

application of the fnnd which is raised
annually through the fee assessed for
ibat purpose. The books protected
by a net work of Wire are systemati

A UNIVERSITY NORMAL SCHOOL.
It will be remembered that a recent
attempt was made to transfer the nor
mal school of Tennessee, which was
largely supported by the Peabody
fund, to Georgia. The project met
with general commendation, and even
recieved legislative indorsement. But
in the eleventh hour the whole scheme
fell through by the determination of
the people of Tennessee to retain the
school within their borders by contin
uing to appropriate 86,000 anually
for its support.
Since then tbe whole matter, has
rested; but the time has at length ar
rived when Georgia can ncr longer re
main passive on a question of,such vi
tal importance. It is stated upon the
highest authority that the successor of
Dr Seare,IlevJ L MCurry.LL D, hi ni
sei! a graduate of tbe State universi
ty, has announced his willingness to
make an annual donation of $6,000 to
wards the establishment ot a normal
college for the education of teachers
ot both sexes in Georgia, provided
that the legislature will appropriate a
similar sum: The new constitution
emphatically enjoins that a proper aye-
tern of public schools shall be main
tained in the commonwealth. But
bow can this be done with incompe
tent and inefficient instructors ? Just
here,therefore,it is peculiarly apropos
that the trustees ot the university
should take the matterin hand and
use every endeavor to incorporate this
much needed school as a part ot the uni
versity system and locate it at Ath
ens, Thus placed,the students would
have access to the library; could listen
to the lectures of the several profes
sors, and in turn to be leotured to by
them on such subjects as were ger-
main to their course of instruction.
The normal college itself might be
presided over by some educational ex
pert elected by the trustees, and the
whole be under the general supervi
sion and control of Chancellor Mell,
as is the case with tbe other branches
of tbe institution.
The board, after due inquiry, . has
every reason to believe that the trus
tees of the Luoy Cobb iustitute would
still be willing to make good the for
mer offer of a surrender of this beauti
ful edifice of the university in fee sim
ple, Ouon the condition that it be con
verted into a normal college and form
a part of the state university.
In the event,however, that they de
cline to make tbo transfer, we have

A most ludicrous scene transpired
in a place not a thousand miles from
the city of Louisville one night the
other week, which, though a little
annoying to the parties immediately
concerned, was just so innocent and
funny that we cannot refrain from
giving the general outlines,
suppressing. name: ot course. Two
sprightly and beautiful young ladies
were visiting their cousin, another
sprightly and beantiful young lady,
who, like her guests, was of that hap
py age that turns everything into fun
and merriment. If the truth were
told, we fear we should have to record
the fact that these three misses were
just a httle bit tast. They were fond
of practical jokes, and were constantly
playing all sorts of pranks with each
other. All three occupied a room on
the ground floor, and cuddled up to
gether in the bed.
Two of the young ladies attended a
party on the night in question, and
did not go home until 11:30 o’clock
at night. As it was late they con
cluded not to disturb the household,
so they quietly stepped into their
room through the low, open window.
In about half an hour after they
had left for the party a young Meth
odist minister called at the house,
where they werh staying, and craved
a night’s lodging, which of course was
granted. As ministers always have
the best of everything, the old lady
put him to sleep in the beat room,
and the young lady, Fannie, who had
not gone to the party, was enstrusted
with the doty of sitting np for the
absent ones. and. of informing them
of the change of rooms. She took
up her post in tbe parlor, and, as the
night was sultry, sleep overcome her,
and she departed on an excursion to
the land of dreams.
We will now return to the young
ladies who had gone to their room
throngh the window. By the dim
light of the moonbeams, as they
straggled through the curtains, the
young ladies were able to descry the
outlines of Fannie (as they supposed)
ensconsed in the middle of the bed.
They saw mote—to.wit: a pair of
boots. The truth flashed upon them
at once. They saw it all. Fannie
bad' set the boots in the room to give
them a scare. They put their heads
together and determined to turn the
tables on her. Silently they disrobed
and stealthily as cats they took their
positions on each side of the bed. At
a given signatythey both jumped into
tbe bed, oue on each side of the un
conscious parson,laughing and scream
ing, “Oh, what a man! Ob, what a
man!” They gave the poor, be
wildered minister such a promiscuous
hugging and tussling as few parsons
are able to brag of in the. course of
a lifetime.
The noise of the proceedings awoke
the old lady,' who was sleeping in an
adjoining room. She comprehended
the situation in a moment, and rush
ing to the room, she opened the door
and exclaimed;
“Gracious, gals 1 It’s a man—it’s
a man, sure enough!”
There was one prolonged, consoli
dated scream, a flash of mnsjin
through the door, and all was over.
The best of the joke is that the
minister took tbe whole thing in ear*
nest. He would listen to no apolo
gies the old lady could make tor the
girls. He would bear no excuse, but
solemnly folded bis official robes about
him and silently stole away.
Query—Was be mad at the girls,
—at the old woman ?

DECLINED THE DEGREE.
Rev. A. W. Clisby, of Macon, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church de
clined-to accept tbe degree of Doctor
of Divinity tendered by Mercer Uni
versity and the Telegraph and Mes
senger gives his reasons therefore
thus: *
“Mr. Clisby’s position is. that in
the church no position or title should
have place, except as assigned by
church authority and regular del ion
ot church courts, and as designating
always offioe to be filled and duty to be
performed, and never mere honorary
standing. On this ground he declines
this degree and title ot Doctor of Di>
i vinitv, as conferred not only by Mer-
| cer University,controlled by the Bap
tist church ot Georgia, but by Da
vidson Gollege, of North Carolina,
controlled by the Presbyterian church
of which he lias just received notice,'
at the same time being deeply sensi
ble ot tbe honor involved in this fa
vorable judgment oi brethren so em
inent in these two branches of the

tbe most respectable republican pa

that Arthur onght to resign; and that
