They who compose it stand back of yon
a great tl.iong convirgiug in you, the

But this conscionemss cf responsibili

inspiriting thought. It is thought of
what we have before us. We
are heirs by birlb, as I have said, of all
the past, but we are to have do possess

inheritance. The forces behind ns are
to share in the joy of victory, or in the
shame ot defeat, and though the issue
does not rest with the strength of our
arms aloue, yet after all everything does
not depend upon what we do or what we
persistently aspire to do, for as Brown

ennobles, but what man would do.’’
-'What I am this moment saying,
what you are this moment thinking,
what we shall today or tomorrow be do
ing, will continue to the end of timp,
and so every moment every hoar's liv

Bhores of such a fntnre, that with the

you have none the less certainly come

The University trustees at their ses
sion yeattrday morniug reversed their
action of thfe preceding day as to the
participation in the commencement ex
ercises of the University by representa
tives of the different branches of the
institution.
As the matter now stands the invita
tion stands for the branch colleges to
6end representatives to the commenoe-
ment of the Uuiveisity and the chan
cellor is to arrange the exercises ac
cording to his best judgment.
Behind the action of the trustees In
withdrawing their invitation to the
branch colleges to participate in the
commencement exerciset was the ques
tion of allowing women to speak from
the chapel stgae, and the adverse action
of Tuesday was simply the triumph of
those who did not favor the women
speaking,
But yesterday the other side had con
trol of the meeting of the hoard, and
they proceeded to fix thing* their way.
A resolntion introduced by Jndge
Adams, of Savannah, to the effect that
the tinstees do not deem it wise for
female pupils of branch institutions to
speak at the chapel was voted down by
a vote of 8 to 7.
The contract for the erection of she
new Peabody library building on the
oampns was awarded by the trustees to
George A. Olay ton, of Atlanta, on a bid
of $40 81S. There will be certain sub
stitutions in the specifications that will
rednee the bid to about $38,000. There
were several other bidders, among them
being Messrs. Beeland and Hecker, who
constructed the Practice school building
and the Winnie Davis Hall at the State
Normal School. Their bids were very
close to the successful bid. The high
est bid was for something over $57,000.
The contract for the removal of the
residence now occupied by Prof. John
Morris was let to Mr. Pease, of Atlantr,
for the sum of $1450. Work on the re
moval of this building to a place near
the agricultural hall will be started
next week, and it is hoped that the
work npon the new library building
will be started within the next thirty
days.
The trustees adopted the resolution of
Judge Gober that in the fntnre the
board grant no more leaves of absence
to the professors of the Universitty.
Mr. A. L. Hall was re-elected secre
tary and treasurer of the board of trus
tees for the term of four years.
Mr. W. A. Worsham was elected as
fellow in chemistry.
Dr. S. C. Benedict was elected as pro
fessor ofMateria Medica in the college
of pharmacy that is to be established In
the University and that will be open to
students at the opening of the next
term.
