Mr. Gilliam spent much of his time in a tribute to the President. “I esteem it an honor and a privilege,” he said, ‘to be invited to speak here on this ground, this place, this institution, which is destined to becomé in future years an American shrine. It will be a shrine to a brave man’'s in domitable courage, a shrine of benevolence, and a shrine of new light and leadership for a people who were sunk in darkness and almost in despair.” Gilliam said that it is a fact in American history that when our| existence as a republic has been threatened, “Providence has raised up a leader to save it from dis aster.” “So in the crisis of the now rapidly receding depression, Presi (Continued on Page Six) LOCAL WEATHER Showers Sunday and proba bly Monday.

Dean Chapman urges that pros pective students make application at once, and stated it was expect ed that the number of scholarships allowed under the Regents’ ruling will be quickly taken. “The pur pose of this move is to stimulate interest in a coliege education by farm boys,” he said. “During the past decade the number of stu dents seeking an agricultural edu cation has been cut in half due to economic conditions, but agricul tural income is increasing and farm life is again becoming at tractive. In view of this.it is ex~ pected that interest in agricultu ral education will greatly in crease.” Advance applications for admis sion to agricultural courses awe now more than double those of last year, Dean Chapman said. —~ESTABLISHED 1832 Athens, Ga., Sunday, August 26, 1934.
