SOUTHERN BANNER: JULY 23, 1878.
various religoius denominations in
the State.
-%3d. Want of unanimity by the
Hoard in the se> eral changes made
in the corps of professors, and sundry
modifications of the college cupj- ;
culum arc said to have exerted an,
unhappy influence upon the tre\Jara
of the institution.
3d. The gcnerally received opin
ion that the Board of Trustees is too
htrgt for effective service ; that ,their :
consultations should be more fre
quent ; that sufficient time is not al
lowed for tho consideration of the
important interests of the Universi
ty : that in the filling of professor*
thins antagonisms exist, based tijxin
other grounds than the competency
of tho professor to be selected ; that
lie Board is lacking in trained edu
cators, find contains too many pcliti*
dans. There are those too who say
that instructors of youth and scien
tists are best qualified to determine
purely educational questions and dis
ciplinary regulations, though it is
c tnceded that Iho Buard ough t to lie
St representative body.
4th. The baleful effect of the old
law, (now happily rescinded) that at
the end of every four years all the
professorships of the University should
be vacated and a new election take
place. This rule, it is alleged, cost
the University some ot its best talent
and ever held the sword of Damocles
suspended over the heads of incum
bents.
It is asserted also that even at this
moment the present Faculty are kept
in a constant state of disquietude from
the knowu differences and antagon
isms existing in the Board of Trus
tees, and the effort; made to Bupplant
•oiue of their number.
that the farmers of the State regard
ing- their nous as merely elementary
factors in the University and liable
to bo animadverted upon and consid

to. lb? paying students, ;ire many of
them too proud to m.V. riculate their
Boiis in the Agricultural College of
’Georgia! ;
And this, it is said, accounts in
part foir tho fact that
FIVE-SIXTHS
of the free scholarships of the State
lie vacant. To overcome this obsta-
cl*, two plans have befcn suggested,

The first to

still remains intact, and parents desir

The above in a brief resume of the
arguments on both sides of this ques
tion, which is fraught with so much
interest to the future welfare of the

regard a reasonable complaint, and if
the rule he continued, must prove in
jurious to the intellectual progress of
the young men and damaging to the
University.

lack of external tidiness, and the
all the members of the Boaid of Trus
tees are not en rapport with the in
terests of the University, someot them
even exerting their personal influence
iu behalf ot other denominational
institutions.
This report, even if false, os we
(rust wiil be proven, is calculated to
do much harm.
Oth. It is held by many that the
frequent changes in the faculty, and
modifications of the curriculum of
study have wrought injury to the
University.
7th. That the action against the
formation of secret societies among
the students, exacting pledges neither
to join or attend the meetings of these
mystic bodies, has been hurtful to the
institution. Voting men, it is said,
prefer to go to other places where they
are allowed greater liberty in a mat
ter they consider wholly distinct from,
and aside from college duties. True,
the tendency of these secret clubs
may be, to a certain extent, detrimen
tal to the regular literary organiza
tions, but the present reported low
condition of the Demostlicnean and
Phi-Kappa Societies, sufficiently
evince that the attempted suppression
of their secret rivals has not benefited
them, nor, we are credibly informed,
exterminated the evil complained of.
8th. The unfortunate sumptuary
law inaugurated by the Trustees sev
eral years since requiring every stu
dent to subscribe a solemn pledge not
to pay above a certain sum per month
for board, though now repealed, on-
gered, it is said, numerous patrous of
the University, and hence they send
their sons and wards elsewhere.
9th. The diminished requirements
for university matriculation it» held,
have lowered the standard of educa
tion and greatly impair the progress
of such slndents as are not properly
prepared. This is letnedied in part
by the rigid examination necessary to
obtain the degree of Bichelor of
Arts, but then not a few declare the
tendency is to degrade the University
to the level of a mere academy, and
bring it into disrepute abroad.
The Board venture to suggest that
the better course would be to impose
salutary checks, both at tlie begin
ning and end of the student’s career.
10th. Though the Board of Visi
tors have the most positive assurance
of the faculty to the contrary, and
nothing of the kind has come under
their immediate purview, still it is
positively asserted in mmy quarters
and not denied so far as we know,
shocking condition of the students’
privy, are all calculated to injure the
good name of the University abroad.
. 18th. ‘A prolific source of harm
also, it is affirmed, may lie ascribed
to the wide-spread animadversions of
individuals and a portion of the
press, which, even if obviously false

applicants for malrienUition at every
commencement, would prove highly
salutary as a stimulus to those pupils
in thu public and private schools of
the State, who are ambitious of a col
legiate education. The experiment
at least could do no harm.
In concluding this report to your
Excellency, the Board fed*, that it
would be deielict alike to duty and
the best interests of the common
wealth, if they did not again tet forth
in the most emphatic language, the
