Well. I should say yes." laughed the
veteran. "Why, last summer, four of
us were traveling together by automo
bile route and we had with us a dry-
goods salesman, fresh from Broadway.
"Nothing was in it but ‘old New
York - and 'Corn y Island.' Ho re
minded us time after time of New
lork. That drummer had to be ini
tiated. so that night we sent two trav
eling men loaded for bear ahead over
to a certain spot to await our arrival.
Then we suggested to the New York
er that we all go watermelon stealing,
which he readily agreed to—so we all
set out After reaching the spot the
first watermelon pulled was gotten by
the New Yorker, and instantly a pistol
was fired by one of the drummers hid
in the bushes. We had planned for
one of the men to net as if he was
shot, and he did it like an actor,
screaming. "Help, I am shot”
"And what did he do?” I asked.
"He is runnig yet. I suppose." said
the veteran.

To the Honorable Hoard of Trus
tees. University of Georgia. Athens:
Gentlemen:—The Hoard of Visitors
to the University, appointed by His
Excellency, Governor Joseph M.
Hrown. met at the University on Mon
day, June 9th. in the office of the
Uhancellor.
The Chancellor had arranged for
e Hoard to meet the members of
the Faculty, and aft *r being formally
presented to the heads of the various
departments, the Associate Profes
sors, Instructors and the offic* rs of
the Institution, the Hoard entered up
on its regular routiue of duties and
during the week just closing, has held
morning and afternoon sesions regu
larly each day.
Every courtesy and consideration
possible has b-en afforded the Hoard
by the Chancellor and his assistants
for investigating the “character of the
Nominations, management, and con
ditions of the University" and we are
pleased to report that after careful
and minute examination of the in
stitution. in all its departments, we
find nothing to criticize and much to
commend.
It is doubtful if in its long and hon
orable career, conditions were ever
so thoroughly satisfactory at the Uni
ersity, as at present. For much of
this, the state is due th** wise and con
servative administration of Chancel
lor Harrow who is giving his entire
time and strength to the development
of the educational interests of Geor
gia. The University is fortunate in
having him at its head; the entire
state is fortunate in having him at th
head of its educational system, and
under his wise leadership, your Hoard
believes that yet greater achiev
ments are before us
Character of the Student Body.
After interviewing many numbers
of the faculty, a number of students
and several citizens of Athens, we
ar** glad to state that there seems to
be a higher moral tone among the
students of the University than ever
before. There is no friction anywhere
between faculty and students, \shile
uniform courtesy and consul - ration
exists between the various members
of the faculty. Citizens of Athens
have told us that the conduct of tho
students is practically perfect, and j
the utmost harmony exists every-
xvh re in and around the institution.
If there is any ground for criticism,
it comes from a lack of means to sup
ply the many demands for the en
largement and improvement that are
recognized as absolutely necessary to
the growth and developnu nt of Geor- |
gia's greatest educational institution; '
these demands come from the growth
of the state in population, in agricul- 1
tural and industrial pursuits and in
the natural demand of the times to
give to the youth of the state the best
that there is in education and in the
rare of the young men whoso lives
and health, and whose intellectual*
moral and physical development are
entrusted for the time being, to the
University and its officers. May we
call to the attention of your Honor
able Body, some of the most pressing
necessities of the institution as you*
Hoard sees them.
A Central Heating Plant.
First. Wo deem it absolutely nec
esssary to the health, to say nothing
of tho comfort of the student body,
that a central heating plant be pro
vidc-d at once. Your Board has visit
ed and carefully inspected the various
dormitories, teaching rooms, dining I
balls and oth*r parts of the Univer
sity, and we feel no hesitancy in say-1
mg that very few of them are in keep j
Ir.g with tho dignity of the University
of the great state of Georgia, while
they are a constant menace to the
health and safety of the faculty and
students; there Is scarcely a prepara
torv school in the entire South, whose
dormitory arrangements are not„ su
perior to those of the University;
irany of the recitation rooms and lab
oratories, are heated by stoves and
grates, making it impossible that
these rooms be either comfortable or
ranitary. We cannot recommend to
your body too strongly, th • absolute
necessity of installing at the earliest
possible moment a central plant
which 'Will heat all the buildings of
tne University and afford some degree
of comfort to those who are occupied
in the work of the institution. There
Is not a business corporation in the
state of Georgia that would allow the
present condition of things to con
tinue for economic reasons, to say
nothing of the matter of comfort and
safety to those who feel the lack of
the advantages which a heating plant
would afford.
A New Dormitory.
Second. We find that not more
an 2-5 students can be accommo
dated in the present dormitories.
There have been during the present
y» ar. nearly seven hundred young
men connected with the University;
it is therefore necessary that between
four and five hundred of these young
men find rooms in the city. Thi
should not be the case for two rea
sons; first, room rent and board is
much higher in the city than that in
the college dormitories; second, it Is
immeasureably better that the stu
dents room on the campus than in
hoarding housese or hotels in the
city; the reasons for this are appar
ent and need not be discussed here.
We urge upon your board the neces
sity for larger accommodations for
young men wishing to take advantage
of the great opportunities afforded by
»he Unix - rsity.
A Larger Dining Hall.
Under the wise management
Ih-an Snelling. a student is enabled
!*» secure excellent table fare at Den
mark Hall a cost of between eight
end ten dollars per month. This can
not be done at the boarding houses
in tin* city for less than from twenty
to thirty dollars per month; the pres
ent capacity of Denmark Hall is about
two hundred students; tho stat
should provide quarters where a
least four hundred young men could
secure meals. We earnestly urge
that this be done.
In this connection, allow us to say
that the duties of the Dean, many of
which In* has voluntarily assumed
b* cause there seemed no one to un
dertake them, seem to your board
entirely too heavy. He has charge of
the discipline of tin* University in co
operation wi) h the Uhancellor: he
looks after the sick, he must see after
delinquent students, tin* rare of the
Dining Hall is almost entirely upon
him. and many duties, too numerous
»o mention here, are under his charge
I and direction. We have no remedy to
j propose, but would recomemnd that
I the trustees defray tin* expenses
ihe Dean to some of the large univer
Initios of the Unit'd States, thus al-
| lowing him tin* privilege of studying
j tin* best methods of handling the
many difficult problems which now
tall to him for solution.
Graduate School.
We rejoice that the University,
through the self sacrificing efforts of
some of the numbers of its faculty
l as been able to undertake graduate
unrk in several of its departments. It
x as the pleasure of the board to hear
nn oral examination conducted by one
ot the d-partments, of a graduate
ttudent, and it was with a feeling of
pride that we realized that the work
which this candidate had done was
of an unusually high order and such
oe to reflect credit upon the institu
lion. We would especially commend
the work of th** Graduate School in
History, and would suggest that this
work, especially that part of it which
bears upon the history of the South,
be advanced and encouraged in every
xxay possible. The hoard recommends
that pome compensation be given
those professors who are giving so
much of tiin<* and strength to the
work of this school. We also strongly
recommend that all students of this
Fchool pay an annual fee of not less
than $60 per year, thus placing the
Graduate School on the same pljine as
the schools of Law and Pharmacy.
[ The Law School.
I The enrollin' nt of the Law School
I for the current year has been tho
largest in its history, 103 young nu n
having enjoyed its advantages. The
Laxv School is self-sustaining paying
the salaries of its professors and
turning over $1500.00 to the general
fund of the University. The school
greatly hindered in its work be
cause of inadequate facilities; its
furniture, desks, chairs, book cases
half century behind the times
and afford the professors and stu
dents no convenience with which to
do their work. Tho present quarters
of the Law School are entirely too
small for the accommodation of the
stud nts taking the law course; thn
lecture rooms are crowded to such an
extent that it Is often necessary that
a professor give the same lecture to
different sections; another professof
Is needed to meet the demands of the
w ork, and we recommend that an as
sistant with the rank of Instructor be
employed for the next year. We also
recommend that a new building be
provided for the Law School at the
earliest possible moment
School of Education.
It Is a matter for congratulation,
that Georgia has at last succeeded In
obtaining a real School of Education.
beautiful building which has just
been completed for this work, is tho
ift of Peabody Trustees, and brings
our state under ren wed obligations
to that great philanthropist who has
done so much for education in tho
South. With the Uhancellor, w*e re
commend in recognition of what has
been done for Georgia through the
fund that Mr. Peabody left for edu
cation in th • South, that a bronze
bust of the philanthropist, be placed
in the building just completed to cost
not h*ss than $250.00.
School of Pharmacy.
The hoard recognizes the splendid
xvork done by the School of Pharmacy
end suggests that the salary of Prof.
Wilson be made $2250.00 per year.
We r<commend that an Instructor
be provided for the department of
Biology; tin* xvork of the school has
increased rapidly and it is now nec
essary to add txvo new courses; for
this an Instructor is needed.
We recognize the difficulties under
which the School ol History labors
in that it has no departmental li
brary; we recommend that the Trus
tees appropriate annually a sum of
from $250.00 to $500.00 for this de
partment. same to be used by the
head of the department, in the pur
chase of books, and in keeping his
rooms in proper condition.
CIVIL ENGINEERING.
Good Roads Department.
We commend to your consideration
the School of Engineering, and ♦spe
cially the* xvork which is being done
.n the department of “Good Hoads."
A sentiment is being created through
out the state in favor of good roads
and the benefits which will come to
the state through the efforts of Pro
feasor Stratum and his assistant in
this work, is incalcuable. A visit to
the "Good Hoads laboratory" proved
to the members of the board that a
very unusual amount of good work is
being done for the betterment of our
toads, and xx> commend the efforts
~-t the department to your Honorable
Body and beg that you give to Pro
fessor Strahan every consideration
possible.
Electrical Engineering.
We recommend that the sum of
$1500.00 be appropriated for the work
ir. the department of Electrical Engl
neering. In company with the Asso
ciate Professor of Electrical Engi
neering. xve visited and carefully In
spected the xvork of the department;
several new machines are necessary
for the development of the depart
ment. while a fund with which to
purchase a Photometric Laboratory
seem absolutely necessary. The de
partments of Physics and Electrical
Engine* ring need and should have
more room for laboratory work and
for class lectures. The laboratories
are entirely too small for the number
of men using them, while the spare
for lectures is so limited that the
Professors In th * txvo departments
are frequently in need of one room
at the same time. We urge that more
space be provided for these depart
ments by using the spac.<* in the base
mont of the Moore building now used
as a storage room, for their work
while other quarters be found for
storage.
Department of Biology.
We find that both Dr. Campbell
and ITof. Reade ar e greatly in need o(
Instructors and additional library fa
cilities. especially for Graduate xvork.
We recommend that .if it is at all pos
sible. ar least one Instructor be given
the department of Biology and that a
beginning be made towards the pur
base of books for research work.
A Department of Publicity.
We believe that if the people of
Georgia could visit the University and
see the great work which it is doing
In its various departments, the attend
ance upon the institution wo Id he in
creased many fold, while the benefit
to the state would be incalculable. As
It is impossible for more than a very
small number of Georgians to do this,
we feel that the University should
make every possible effort to carry
the University to the people. This D
an age of publicity; every great busi
has it,s Publicity Agent whoso
duty it Is to keep before the people
printed page and personal visit,
the merits of the enterprise. We real
ize that in the work which Prof. Ste
wart is doing, the University has a
most valuable aid. but ct occurs to
your Board that there should be a
special department for this work,
which department should be in the
hands of a thoroughly trained man
whose entire time should be given tc*
acquainting the people of the state
with the splendid work done and the
unusual opportunities offered the
young men of the state and south. If
once the state could realize the ben
efits which come from the University
to its citizens, there would be no lack
of funds for carrying on the work of
the institution in -its every depart
tnent.
Athletics.
We find Athletics at the University
In good condition. The department is
In charge of an Athletic Beard of
which the Chancellor is an Executive
officer. We believe that this depart
ment should be encouraged as good,
wholesome athletics fosters a whole
some college spirit. The Athletic As
sociation is free from debt and has
some money in the treasury, which
fact is due to the business like man
ner < f handling tin* affairs of the As
sociation. While there are some ob
lections to inter-collegiate athletics,
we believe that those objections have
been reduced to a minimum in the
University.
Fraternities.
Fraternities as a rule, have chaptei
houses where their members reside*,
while there are. in the minds of some,
objections to the Chapter House, the
the crowded condition of the Univer
sity. and the lack of dormitory facili
ties, seem to make these chaptei
houses a necessity. We believe that
whatever objection noxv obtains re
garding the houses, would he renexved
if the houses were located on the cam
pus. and with the space noxv available
on the campus, xve would strongly re—
omniend that some provision be
made so that any Fraternity wishing
to do so, could build its chapter house
upon the grounds of the University
Txvo of the fraternities have bought
homes in the city, and before others
do so, we especially urge that some
action be taken looking towards locat- |
Ing all other such houses, on the cam- j
pus. We would recommend that no
man entering college be allowed to
be pledged or to join a fraternity be
fore he shall have been in college for
at least three months and shall have
satisfactorily passed all examinations
for at least one term.
An Alumni Trustee.
It was the pleasure of the Hoard,
in company xvith the Dean of the Uni
versity, to visit and carefully inspect
the splendid building which the Alum
ni of the University have erected for
the Y. M. C. A. and the Athlet e Asso
ciation. It stands as an evidence of
the love which the graduates of Geor
gia have for their Alma Mater. It is
an earnest of greater things yet to
pome to the institution from thoso
who have felt its helpful influence and
who look upon it as the source of
their inspiration and success. The
Alumni of an institution should be
Its strength and strong support; many
of the great universities of the north
and east derive their chief support
from thos*» who have gone from tho
halls of their Alma Mater and who
owe to her the financial and moral
strength which her training enabled
them to xvin in the broad field of life.
If the privilege asked, does not trans
gress the'limits of the charter, we re
spectfully, but very urgently request
the Trustees to give to the Alumni
Association of the University, the
right to elect one member of the
Hoard of Trustees and always to have
on the Hoard one member elected by i
the Association. j
Other Recommendations.
In concurrence xvith the recommen !
datinns made bv the Uhancellor, the 1
Hoard of Visitors, after having very |
carefully gone into t o matters men-j
tioned below, ask that the following
recommendations he carried o.t: j
First: Toilet for students, in area
of Academic Building.
•Second:—An additional teacher in
the department of Commerce. i
Third: —^Better walks to the Gym

salary shall be paid by the Trus- •

A Resident Physician.
The Board is unanimous in the
opinion that the University should em
ploy a competent physician whose
duty it should be to make a careful
physical examination of every student
who • enters the University, keep a
record of his physical condition and
see that he takes such measures and
precautions from time to time, as will
develop him into the finest possible
specimen of manhood. The state ap
propriates money to keep the swine
of the state sound and well: it appro
priates money to see t'hat the orchards
of the state are kept free from dis
ease; thousands of dollars are expend-
(1 every year to prevent the spread j
of the cattle .tick; should we do less ] j
for tiie bodies of the young men who
