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.
