T. W. Reed, Editor, Historian
And University Friend
(The following is the first part of the text of
a memorial address by Harry Hodgson, sr.,
ziven at exercises in honor of the late T. W,
Reed. The second part will be published in this
space tomorrow.)
We are gathered together this Sabbath morning
to pay tribute to the memory of our beloved friend
and teacher, Thomas Walter Reed. The tender hand
of our Heavenly Father touched his eyes in sleep
on April 24th, in the 79th year of his age.
He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, September 20,
1870, His father, Thomas Reed of Salem, North
(arolina, was born May 7, 1827, and he was a mem
rer of the Freedland Moravian Church. Tom's
. -andfather was one of that church,
3lood will tell in any man’s heritage and the
! oravians of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, are
. ~ong the finest people we have in America. Tom
2 11 his wife attended one of the famous Easter
< nday services at Winston-Salem a few years ago
1d nrade a full report' of his visit to our class
v en he returned. Forty thousand people were in
o .tendance at 4 o’clock in the morning to greet the
lawn of Easter Sunday and his description of the
recasion will long be remembered by all of the
members of the Henry Tuck class.
Tom's mother was Sara Crockett of Walton
ounty, Georgia, and his parents raised him under
Christian influences. He was devout and religious
Hhy nature,
I am happy to be invited by President Pledger to
s-cak about our teacher on this sacred occasion for
1 have known Tom probably longer than almost
£ny other member of the class. My first contact
v ith him came when he was a recent honor grad
uvate of the University, with a Master of Arts de
gree wich requires hard work aad a keen intellect.
He also graduated from the law school and prac
ticed a few years in the office of Judge Andrew J.
Cobb. On the day of his graduation from the Uni
versity he was appointed Athens correspondent for
the Atlanta Constitution by Henry W. Grady, one
of America’s outstanding journalists. He soon be
came editor of the Athens Banner and for many
vears he edited that newspaper with skill and suc
cess.
While a student at the University he was out
standing as a leader and he took great interest in
the Phi Kappa literary society and he became an
excellent debater, He impressed me with his dig
nity and gentlemanly conduct in the days of his
youth.
On his 23rd birthday, September 20, 1893, he
married one of Athens most beautiful girls, Eunice
Williams, Athens has long been noted for its lovely
girls and none could surpaass the girl he nrarried.
The wedding occurred five days after she had at
tained her 17th birthday. I have long had the con
viction thaf nearly all men who attain success in life
have achieved their success through alliance of a
good wife and it js certainly true that Eunice Wil
liams was an ideal and inspiring helpmeet.
His home was blessed with three children—
Albon, born August, 1894, who became a Captain in
World War 1, in the famous 82nd Division, offi
cered so largely by students of the University of
Georgia. He rendered fine battle service in France.
He died in 1927 in his 33rd year. This death of his
only son was one of the greatest sorrows of Tom'’s
life.
He had two daughters—Eunice, Mrs. Hal Hulsey,
whose husband is the Dean of Fine Arts in the At
lanta Branch of the University of Georgia; Dorothy,
Mrs. Leo Belcher, whose husband, now deceased,
was @ Lieutenant Colonel in World War 1L There
survives three grandchildren and four great-grand
children,
We are happy to have Mrs. Reed and a few other
relatives at this service.
On the stone that covers Tom'’s grave will be in
scribed four words that bespeak some of his out
standing charaeteristics — Journalist, Historian,
Scholar, Teacher. His ideal as a journalist was
Henry W. Grady, born and reared in this city.
Grady ealso graduated at the University in the fam
ous class of 1868. Tom emulated Mr. Grady both
as a journalist and as an orator and many of us
think that Tom’s ability was not short of his ideal,
though hiz fame may not have reached so far,
Asa historian few men knew the story of the Con
federacy so well or depicted it more beautifully in
! 's hundreds of addresses over the years on Me
-laorial Day.
As @ scholar and teacher, we of the Henry Tuck
alass can fully appreciate him for Sunday after
sunday we have listened to his scholarly discus
slong of Bible stories and philosophies.
For 33 years he was Registrar of the University,
For a number of these years he was Treasurer also
and served asg Secretary to the Board of Trustees.
When the growth of the University made the work
of Registrar and Treasurer too heavy for one man,
Tom gave over the work of the Treasurer to Mr.
J. D. Bolton, but he carried on the duties of Regis~
trar, This work he delighted in as it threw him in
constant eontact with the students and their schol
astic records,

Duff’s Victory May Give Him
Reins in IheyKeysyione State
We'll have to wait until November to learn
whether Progressive Governor James H. Duff’s
stunning victory over Pennsylvania’s Old Guard
Republican boss, Joseph Grundy, will be final and
complete.
If Duff’s personal choice for governor, John S.
Fine, the new GOP nominee, can“capture the state
house in the fall elections, then Duff will have
achieved what few Pennsylvania governors ever
attain, He will have held onto control of the state
organization beyond the end of his term.
State law bars a governor from seeking re-elec
tion. Others have tried to choose their own succes
sors and thus hang onto power, but few have made
it.
Defeat for Fine in the fall would open the way
to the conservative Grundy forces to fight back to
ward renewed power. And Fine's job won’t be easy.
His Democratic opponent is Richardson Dilworth,
Philadelphia city treasurer who led his party to a
surprise victory over the entrenched GOP in that
city last year.
On the basis of history, however, the odds do
favor Fine. Only twice in 64 years has a Democrat
captured the Pennsylvania governorship, The last
time was in 1934.
If Fine does come through, it means full state
power for Duff, 67-year-old battler for a dynamic,
progressive Republican Party. He will call the turn,
too, on the 1952 delegation to the GOP national
convention.
There can be no doubt he will throw his weight
on the side of aggressive, forward-looking Repub
licanism in the nation. In the primary he mrade Old
Guard “Grundyism” the chief issue. He will be
looking for a presidential prospect who reflects his
own approach.
November victory for Fine will put Duff in the
driver’s seat no matter what happens to his per
sonal contest for the Senate job of incumbent Sen
ator Francis J. Myers, Democrat.
Actually, Duff’'s own chances of election are
good, though Myers is a vigorous campaigner and
is already plugging hard. Six years ago Myers won
by a scant 23,000. But in 1948 the state plumped for
Governor Thomas E. Dewey by 150,000, No state
gave him a bigger edge. .
Whatever the November outcome, the whopping
500,000 and 200,000 vote triumphs scored by Duff
and Fine, respectively, are a resounding answer to
Republican leaders who wonder where their party
should go. It's a reply that ought to be pondered
weil in high party counciis everywhere.
.
Clever People, Those Chinese
The Chinese Nationalists’ “department of fuller
explanation” at Formosa headquarters is tying it
self in knots in its effort to justify recent military
action on Hainan and other islands off the China
coast,
On Hainan, the Nationalists’ sizable forces re
sisted Communist invaders for a time, but then
suddenly folded and executed a speedy withdrawal.
According to Formosa, this maneuver thwarted Red
aims, Apparently, capturing Hainan could not have
been one of those objectives.
Now Chiang Xai-shek has withdrawn 150,000
troops from the Chusan islands, which served as
valuable air and sea blockade bases for the Nation
alists,
It seems the Communists were massing for an
assault on the Chusans. By pulling out and letting
them have the islands, Formosa declares, the Nat
ionalists have “smashed the scheme” hatched by the
Reds.
One wonders what clever strategy the National
ists will employ when the seizure of Formosa itself
becomes the Communists’ “scheme.” For there will
then be no island left to which the Nationalists may
retire to savor their strategic triumph.
5 . .
Keep Off Their Level
The United States has ordered Czechoslovakia to
reduce its American diplomatic staff, in retaliation
for the Czechs’ insistence that we cut our embassy
staff in Prague by two-thirds.
Assuming that Czech diplomatic personnel in this
country is loyal to the Communist regime in Pra
gue, no one could feel much regret at any impend
ing departures. For the diplomatic corps of the
satellite nations, like that of Russia itself, probably
constitutes a cloak for diligent espionage activities.
It seems unfortunate, though, that we frequently
feel we must resort to reprisals in matters of this
sort, The technique smacks of small-boy revenge.
It's the very kind of thing the Russians themselves
can most be counted upon to do.
Tke less often we permit ourselves to be nran
euvered into positions where we must take re
prisal, the better it will be.
The political and economic independence of Aus
tria is being sabotaged by the determination of the
Soviets . . . to maintain their forces and special in
terests in eastern Austria, — Secretary of State
Acheson,
It is time to rally from a frustrating confusion
that has its roots in mistakes of the past rather
than in the circumstances of the present. — John
Foster Dulles, GOP expert on foreign affairs.

Mercy Underlies Message of Micah
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
We have seen how the prophet
Micah simplified the definition
of religion, in his famous saying,
“What doth the Lord require of
thee, but to do justly, to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with
they God?” {
We might think of that-as the
climax, the highest point in the
seven chapters of his prophecy that
have come down to us. But there
is something higher. The real
climax is in the closing verses of
the phophecy, Micah 7:18-20, in
which Micah describes the pardon
ing grace of God.
Could God require mercy of man
without being merciful Himself?
That would be contrary to all right
and all logic. God is not only mer
ciful, says Micah, but He delights
in mercy.
That highest note:in the Hebrew
prophecies should never be missed,
or forgotten. They rebuked evil
with such sternness that a hasty
and unintelligent scanning of their
messages might incline us to re
gard them as harsh and pessimis
tic. But beneath it all was the note
of mercy, the message concerning
God’s continued call, and His will
ingness to forgive all iniquities.
RECONCILIATION was the
theme of the prophets. They of
ten pictured the forgetfulness of
‘God and rebelliousness of Isreal in
iterms of gloom, but it was never
in terms of despair. Always there
was the note of hope.
Paul, a Christian thoroughly
versed in the Hebrew Scriptures.
was to write (in Romans 8:24)
that “we are saved by hope.” It
is interesting to take a concord-

It is a theme to which Paul, es=
