About the State University,
From proceedings of the Alumni
of the State University, yestereay af
ternoon, it will be seen that the men
who drank front the fountain of knowl
edge at the old University, have not
forgotten or lost interest in their alma-
mater. It is not known, perhaps,
that here in Tho nasville, in 1882, was
organized the first Adjunct Society in
the State. Georgia’s great University
is held iii high esteem by her sons
here, and not only by them, but the
citizens of this section. All feel that
Dr. Boggs is on the right line, and
he will receive cordial and liberal co
operation here, in his grand work of
endowing and building up the Univer
sity. One of the Alumni said at the
meeting yesterday afternoon.
“I will give one hundred dollars to
ward endowing the University, upon
any plan projected or proposed by Dr,
Boggs.”
That’s the right kind of spirit. If
the Alumni of the University through
out the State will move and act in the
matter, a few years hence will see the
University handsomely endowed, and
ranking with the foremost Universities
There is a very general desire here
to hear Dr. Boggs in his plea for high
cr education, and we hope out people
will be gratified by listening to the
learned and eloquent chancellor on
the subject, when lie comes in June,
