A GRAND SPEECH!
CHANCELLOR BOGGS ON THE
CAUSE OF EDUCATION.
Griffin’s Good Chances of Securing a
Branch of the State Uni¬
versity.
TJie vi»it of Governor Gordon,
Chancellor Boggs and Professor
White to our city on Tuesday, de¬
serves a more extended notice than
appeared in onr last issue. These
gentlemen, ^/Jf, accompanied by a num-
*>' »'
close and critical examination of the
same. The Chancellor and Professor
mor . than confirmed in
tion that Griffin .was not only the
place for the farm and station, but
that the Bates’ place was the pret¬
tiest farm in the State. ’HieGovern-
or was enthusiastic ifi his praises of
the beauty liaimfv of nf f.hn the place nlnpp 14.nr! and it,8 its DOT* per¬
fect adaptability to the purpose for
which selected. The visitors were re¬
ceived in gracious, happy style by
Capt. Batea and hi* a^mpliahpd
family. The most interesting part
of the visit of these distinguished
gentlemen was the speaking at night,
at Patterson’* Hall. Goy. Gordon
being much overworked, did not in¬
tend to speak, but a speech was de¬
manded, and ready, as he always is,
to answer the call of his countrymen,
he responded in one of his character¬
istic speeches which are always dig¬
nified, patriotic and eloquent. His
appeal for the preservation and eleva¬
tion of madhoodand womanhood of
the South, and his glowing tribute
to the same were truly grand and
elicited rounds of applause. The
verdict of the public is that Gordon
never fails in peace or war to the
full msasnreof his duty and meets
every emergency like a truly great
man.
CHANCELLOR BOGGS.
Any other than a truly great man
would have felt some erabarass-
■ ment, after the complimentary allus-
| ions of Governor Gordon, in address¬
ing the large and intelligent au¬
dience which greeted ths speaker,
but Dr. Bogfs was master of the
situation, and with a'dignified grace,
rarely if ever witnessed, rose, to tbs
height of a great argument. His
speech is prrnounced by competent
critics, indeed by the universal ver¬
dict of Ms hearers, to be the finest
address ever delivered in this State
upon the subject of education. Its
breadth* and height and depth can
not be measured in these columns.
His presentation of facte in the -his¬
tory of education in other countries
was not only forcible but striking
and charming. He impresses all
who hear him with his profound re¬
searches and learning. His striking
and easy array of statistics in favor
of higher and broader education
and the ‘application of these
facts to our own State caught
many an eager, listening ear and
establishes in the hearts and minds
of hi* hearers the importance of
the Chancellor’s high mission. His
fitness for the leadership of our great
educational interests is conceded by
all. He has given new life to the
cause of education here, and his com-
ng is regarded as a great blessing to
this community.
His'tribute to the South and the
distinguished men she has furnished
in the history of this great people
from the day* of Washington to our
own times, was truly eloquent and
established the high claims of south-
ten intellect andflbaracterin shaping
the destiny of this great country.
He traced in graphic style the over-
Z
'^#11
ties by Napoleon the great, and the
of great minds to lead her peo¬
ple which, without the higher facili¬
ties of education are rarely found
Bat France in spite of defeat at arms (
and while groaning under an enorm-
millions’of oys debt to Germany, appropriated
dollars to the rebuilding
of her Universities. The strength of
Prussia was found in her well organ
ized syBtem of education, military
and academic.. The North spent her
millions on her schools and colleges,
while Georgia, the richest State in
the South, was miserly in her appro¬
priations for education.
We will not attempt to follow the
speaker in his magnificent address.
He is a friend of Griffin, as was demon¬
strated by his adherence to her claims
lor the location of the experimental
farm. He was with us first, last and
all the time. Bpt the strength of the
man is in his great love for this State
and the cause which he has champi¬
oned—broad, liberal education. He
predicts that Griffin will have, as
matter of course, a college establish
ed ^ for scientific and agricultural „ 5>u .u„., w pur-
poseg as a branch of the Univerity,
and for the purpose np of 414 fitting finer young vnmur
men for a University course. He is
in full sympathy with the public
schools and with all educational en-
-taerpriaes. ~ BBs suggestion ttartr the
Sam Bailey grounds be donated by
the city for the purposes of erecting
thereon the college meets with gener¬
al and hearty approval. He assures
us that the trustees of the University
will favor it and the legislature need
only be asked to get an appropria¬
tion for that purpose. This assures
the success of Griffin. The Chancellor
says, in private conversation with
citizens that Griffin is on the high
road to success and her people need
only arouse to achieve it.
The Chancellor’s tribute to Gordon
as the best loved man in Georgia and
as the greatest living representative
•f Tier glory and her chivalry,
brought'not only the brave-hearted
Gordon to tears, but melted the
'stout heart of many an old soldier.
We thank the Chancellor in behalf
of this city for his coming, for we al
most Bow see the fruitful results of
the seed he has sown. Let the trus¬
tees of Sam Bailey and the city coun¬
cil act in the matter of the grounds,
and send Borne representative manjbe-
fore ths trustees of the'University on
June 14th, who will present the mat-
k ter in proper shaj>e and you will soon
see a college here the pride of the
State. The legislature cannot and
will not refuse &n appropriation to
build the college. Strike while the
iron is hot. *
