Mkkkii.i., Sec. 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, A SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU R, Thomas JrY 126 Broad Street.
