Them Georgians gathered this morning with bowed heads in the Univers sity chapel to pay homage to the man who developed to its present high efficiency ' the ‘high school system of the state, to one 'of the leading educators of. the Seuth, and to a man whom they all loved and revered, Dr. J. 8. Stewart, who passed to his final rest Sun day morning after a brief lilness. Lying in state at the foot of the flower-covered stage in the his toric building two flags stood at the head and foot of the casket— the American flag and the flag -of the state which he served so um selfishly for ' many years. ' Two members of the University mili tary staff stood watch. Collenguer and friends, the rich and poor, all who had come in contact with Dr. Stewart's genial smile, his friendly manner, and his warm personality, mourned his passing as one, and many of them who lived away from Athens made the trip here to pay final ‘tribute to their friend. ’ As the University faculty enter ed the chapel, led by President S. V. Sanford and the Rev. Lester Rumble in a procession which passed through the rain from the Academic building, Hugh Hodg son, at the organ, played Beeth= oven's ‘“Funéral March on.- the Death of a Hero,” a fitting musical tribute to the deceased.
