University of Georgia.
Athens, March 20th, 1916.
Editor The Winder News:
It gives me pleasure to write a
word for your educational number.
As your county was named joint
ly for me and my brother Pope, I
take this opportunity to express the
appreciation due for this high honor.
I wish that my brother’s true heart
and eloquent lips might siutably
A r oice our sense of the honor Con
ferred but, since this is denied us,
I thnak you.
REED PA YS TRIBUTE TO DAVID C. BARROW
Any special educational issue of
a Georgia newspaper would be incom
plete without reference to the magni
ficent work in the field of education
t .at has been done and is now being
*
done by Chancellor David C. Barrow,
of the University of Georgia, and this
is especially true of The Winder
News, published in a county named
in honor of that distinguished Geor
gia educator.
After years of devoted service as
a member of the Faculty of the Uni
versity and as Dean of Franklin Col
lege, he was elected Chancellor in
June, 1906, to succeed the late Chan
cellor Walter B. Hill.
Since he became chancellor the
attendance on the University has in
creased seventy-two per cent, ris
ing from 408 to the present registra
tion of 701. That in itself is a trib
ute to his efforts and to his scholar
ly wisdom.
During that time the curriculum of
the institution has been advanced in
many directions until it ranks as
high as that of any university in the
South, and the work of the institu
tion is accorded full credit by insti
tutions like Harvard University.
The State College of Agriculture
was established by the legislature in
July, 1906, and has during the past
ten years become one of the great
est institutions in the conutry. The
South Georgia Normal College at Val
dosta is one of the branches of the
University that has been established
during his chancellorship and the
Georgia Medical College at Augusta
has been so improved as to s e ranked
in Class “A” of medical colleges.
All of the buildings of the Agricul
tural college have been erected dur
ing his chancellorship; also the Pea
body Education building on campus
and the splendid infirmary building,
the latter being built almost entire
ly through the efforts of Chancellor

/ T’ OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW CD’JNTY. "
In the recognition which has been
shown of the importance of educa
tion by honoring a teacher, there is
an implied promise to the children of
your courty that they shall be offer
ed an opportunity to enter modern
life equipped for its duties.
In the confident expectation that
you will develop the greatest re
source, your children, I pray for di
vine guidance in your efforts, and
predict that prosperity for your
county which always follows the ed
ucation of a people. Yours sincere
ly, David C. Barrow.
Barrow in raising the necessary mon
ey among the friends of education in
Georgia.
The movement for a larger cam
pus, started during the life time of
Chancellor Hill, was carried to com
pletion during the last ten years, or
to more correctly state it, almost to
completion, for seme of the work is
y to be finished. In this work,
Chancellor Barrow, in co-operation
with Mr. Thomas J. Shackelford, has
done a work, the importance of
which can scarcely be realized.
During the Chancellorship of Dr.
Barrow the district agricultural
schools were established by the leg
islature and at the instance of Gov
ernor Terrell Chancellor Barrow
drew a number of the important fea
tures in the bills establishing those
schools.
Among the splendid movements
started during his term of office as
chancellor is that of making a physi
cal examination of each student each
year. This has already done much
good in preventing bad health among
the students.
Probably the greatest contribution
of the University of Georgia during
the chancellorship of Dr. Barrow has
been the w T ork in improving the high
schools of the state through the sys
tem of supervision by the department
of Secondary Education. When he
came to that office, there were few
four year high schools in the state.
There.are.now.more.than one hnudred
and twenty-five such institutions
The education of the masses of the
people has thus been lifted to a
much higher plane.
These are a few of the education
al improvements effected by the Uni
versity of Georgia during the past
ten years. They by no means repre
sent a complete roll of the achieve
ments of the institution or the dis
tingiushed Georgian who is at its
head. T. W. REED.
