If Mr. Hill were anything, he was
an advocate of the doctrines of Christ
ianity. The very atmosphere in which
he moved was fragrant with love and
kindness. He believed in the simple
faith of the fathers and pinned his
trust to the everlasting Book. The
people of the state did not hesitate to
send their sons to the University, be-
because they knew the man at its
head and the beneficent influence of
his life. He maintained with all his
ability and energy the correct princi
ple that education and religion go hand
in hand and no more fitting memorial
can be reared to him than one that
connects the two and dedicates to
their joint service a magnificent build
ing upon the campus of the institution
that claimed his best and most unself
ish energies and devotion.
A MEMORIAL TO
THE DEAD CHANCELLOR
The remains of the beloved Chancel
lor of the University of Georgia rest
beneath the soil of his native state
and within the shadow of the great in
stiution he loved so well. Next to his
loved ones he cherished his alma
mater above all other things in this
world, and the great heart and mind
that made him the foremost citizen
of the state were devoted to the up
building of her every interest.
Now that he has gone, now that the
architect has been removed ere his
splendid plans were brought to maturi
ty, it will be fitting and proper that
upon the campus of the old University
there should rise a noble memorial
to this matchless Georgian and im
mortal leader of the educational forces
of the state.
Chancellor Hill was devoted in life
to tile Y. M. C. A. movement. He be
lieved that through this organization
the young men of the state could he
ranched in a religious way. and
with all the ardor of his nature he
championed the suggestion before the
alumni society of the University last
commencement that the fund of forty
thousand dollars that had been contri
buted by the alumni be used in the
erection of a Y. M. C. A. building on
the campus. The speech he made in
the Phi Kappa Hall on that occasion
was by long odds the greatest be ever
delivered. It was inspiring in the ex
treme. TL carried conviction with it
and when he took his seat the minds
of the alumni were made up. The
resolution to so use the money was
Passed overwhelmingly and to that
purpose the alumni fund will be de
voted.
It was decided that the new building
should he called the Alumni Y. M. C.
A. and Gymnasium building, and
Chancellor Hill was at the head of the
committee in charge of devising plans
for the securing of the money that
would he necessary to complete the
structure. It was one of his chief de
sires that this building should soon be
erected and he had planned to take
up in conjunction with the Y. M. C.
A. people of the state the active can
vass for funds during the early part of
the coming year. Death came before
he was able to bring to their full
frit ion ihe plans he had so carefully
made in this direction, but the work
will go on and the new building will
be erected.
The Banner desires to make a sug
gestion that we believe will meet with
universal approval. Let the name of
the new building be changed. Let it
be known as the Walter B. Hill Mem
orial Hall. Let it rise a noble mem
orial to a noble character, and in the
future years let the youth of Georgia
receive an inspiration from the very
name it bears.
Around the name and fame of Wat
ter B. Hill will live forever an inspira
tion to the youth of the state and the
country, and in the years to come, as
the students of the University of Geor
gia assemble in the Y. M. C. A. build
ing upon the greater campus that he
planned so well, let them know that
from the heart and brain of the dis
tinguished man who has just passed
TRIBUTES OF THE PRESS.
The newspapers of the state are
paying high tribute to the dead chan
cellor of the University of Georgia.
Here in Athens we knew him and ap
preciated him and elsewhere be was
also known and apreciated. A few of
the comments of the Georgia press
will be reproduced in our columns to
show the universal feeling of grief
over his death.
Atlanta Constitution.
When Chancellor Hill came to the
University of Georgia that institu
tion and the cause of education ir
Georgia needed a new spiritual quick
ening. A man was needed whose
purity of anture and magnetism of
spirit, coupled with a mastery of mind
could touch to generous action the
better qualities in others—in the mass.
Such a man is one among ten thous
and, and he comes of God to bless his
generation. Such a man was Walter
Barnard Hill. He injected new life
into the Llniversity of Georgia. What
that noble institution is today is in
no small measure attributable to the
singleness of purpose, the untiring
energy, the splendid executive ability
the contagious enthusiasm, the spirit
ual poise of Chancellor Hill. Where
it was run down he built it up. Where
its glories were but memories he re
stored them to virile, pulsing, exist
ing realities. He gave the old Uni
ersity a verve, an esprit de corps
that it had not known since the days
of it", ante-bellum greatness. He help
ed largely to make it one among the
few great educational institutions of
the nation today.
And Chancellor Hill did more than
this for the cause of education
Georgia. The magnetic force of his
personality and his personal efforts
went far to awaken a new interest in
education in every county in the state
The great strides made by Georgia in
this direction during the past decade
were a part of his general educational
propaganda, and thousands of the
outh of the state, the majority of
whom have never seen the University
of Georgia or Chancellor Hill, owe him
a debt of gratitude for the influence
he constantly exerted before the peo
pie on public occasions, before the le;
islature, in the church and in the
private home and business office,
behalf of better things educationally,
Moreover, he helped to create a new
and more fraternal spirit among our
educators themselves, helping to make
them an aggressive unit for the noble
cause their profession seeks to ad
vance.
It is difficult to see how Chancellor
Hill’s place is to be filled. But we
will leave that, with the hope and faith
for the future. Today, with bowed
heads and sore hearts in the presence
of the noble dead, we can only pray
Heaven’s rest to' the great soul fled
Savannah Pres.
The death of Hon. Walter B. Hill
removes a noble man from his work
in Georgia. And such a work!
A little more than five years ago
he was induced by the trustees to go
to the head of the state college
Athens. His decision was awaited
with the greatest inaterest. At that
time he was a lawyer in successful
practice, the member of a prosperous
and popular Macon firm. The bar had
been singled out as his life work.
With decided taste for literature and
dards and dominated by a great moral
issue,. he nevertheless had prospered
the active practice of his chosen
profession. At his time of life to leave
this work was to abandon it forever,
drop all idea of a political and ju
dicial career, to put aside the fees and
prizes of the courts and to spend the
remainder of his days in the classic
groves where success was uncertain
and emoluments were few.
Without hesitation Walter Hill ac
ceded to the wishes of the state. He
went to Athens and took up the ex
acting place of chancellor, a work
which in the opinion of many distin
guishes the highest office in the state.
While his elder brothers were earning
riches and winning laurels in the
more active fields of life, he obeyed
their call, and in his own language
Went back to keep the oldhome-
tead, where once a year the family
athered in reunion to bless *fffs ef
forts.” Never was a scion more faith
ful to the trust. He put the house in
order and welcomed the young man
hood of Georgia. He gave it an air
culture and charm which it had
not had for many years. He organ
ized tlie alumni of Georgia, he pre
sented the claims of the university
ith so much ability at home and
abroad that the old institution took
on a vitality and a glory which argued
ell for future success. He was just
the man for the task. He did not con
fine himself to the study hall, or lect
ure room. While his scholarship was
ipe and abundant and his exam
ple shining and stimulating, he went
out among the people, addressed the
educators of the country, aroused the
dormant legislature to renewed ef
forts and practical support. He invest-
the centennial celebration of the
niversity of Georgia with the deep
est interest and persuaded the alum
ni to subscribe liberally for the cam
pus extension. Wherever the univer
sity was assailed he carried the lance
ith poise and valor against its ene
mies. What a glorious sight to see a
man like Walter Hill defending inter
ests like these with such lii^h purpose
and splendid ability! He wore him
self out in the service of his alma, ma
ter. He dedicated his life to higher ed
ucation, and the universities of Amer-
lose a champion and exemplar,
for he had already made national
reputation. It will be hard to fill his
place in Georgia, but this work has
already borne choicest fruit. He had
started off noble palms. The state
s richer and the world is better be
cause of the life of such a man.
Among the alumni of Georgia today
there is mourning.
Surely ‘‘to live in the hearts of those
we love is not to ide.”
