WESLEYAN TO BE
MOVED TO OXFORD.
TREASURER OF EMORY COLLEGE
SAYS PLAN WILL BE LAUNCH¬
ED IN THE NEAR FUTURE
WITH ONE FACULTY.
Emory College, Oxford, Ga., Apr. 17.
Professor H. H. Stone, of the depart¬
ment of applied mathematics and
Measurer of Emory college, proposes
moving Wesleyan college from Macon
to Oxford.
Professor Stone this morning said
that such a plan would surely be
launched in the very near future.
Thirty acres of laud will be secured
a‘ the north end of Church-st. for
the campus of the new college. This
will place Emory and Wesleyan fac¬
ing each other on hills three-quarters
of a mile apart. The buildings oc¬
cupied at present in Macon can be
disposed of at an attractive figure
and the money will be used to erect
new buildings here. The faculties of
the two institutions will be merged
pud greatly enlarged. A dean will
Preside over each. Dr. J. E. Dickey
vy-T probably be at the head of the
system.
The new science building recently
erected at a cost of $50,000 on the
Em.ry campus and the Candler library
vGll be used by both of the colleges.
Emory’s $500,000 endowment and the
$-00,000 now being raised by the
Wesleyan board of trustees will be
combined, giving the new institution
one of the largest endowments in
the South.
Dr. F. N. Duncan, of the science
department, formerly taught iu the
Southwestern University of Texas,
where such a plan if worked out and
heartily indores such a combination
Dr. H. S. Hyatt, the president of
the Southwestern University, is an
old Emory man and has long been
talking of the combining of Wesley¬
an and Emory.
Under the new regime it is also
possible that a large Methodist cha
tauqua will be conducted at Emory
during the summer months. Oxford,
with its excellent health record and
convenient location, will be well suit¬
ed for such a summer institution.
The above appeared in the Atlanta
Georgian of Monday afternoon, and
the Constitution of yesterday morn¬
ing carried the following denial from
President Jas. E. Dickey, of Emory
College:
Regarding the published statement
that Emory and Wesleyan colleges
were likely to be merged shortly, Dr.
James E. Dickey tonight denied most
emphatically that such a plan was
on foot. Publication of a story in an
afternoon Atlanta paper brought to
him the first intimation of the project
ed union.
Dr. Dickey tonight issued the fol¬
lowing:
“My attention has been called to
an article in the Atlanta Georgian
of the 17th instant concerning the
proposed union of Emory and Wesley¬
an. Professor Stone is quoted as say¬
ing, ‘that such a plan would surely
be launched in the very near future.’
“As a trustee of both institutions,
and as the president of Emory, I wish
to say that I have never heard the
proposed union discussed by a trustee
of either institution, and that person¬
ally 1 do not think a union of these
colleges is within the remotest
of possibility. I wish to say further
in my opinion such a union would be
detrimental to the interests of both
Emory and Wesleyan

MORMONS MOBBED
IN GREAT BRITAN.
Jchn Bull Won’t Stand for the “Lat¬
ter Day Saints.”
Birkenhead, England, April 16.—
The anti-Mormon campaingn led to
serious disorder here today. An or¬
ganized demonstration against Mar
monism was carried out and an, ulti¬
matum was issued requiring the Mor¬
n-on missionaries to quit the town
within eight days. later a great
c-owd attacked the Mormon meeting
house and stoned and smashed win¬
dows. The police Lad great difficul¬
ty in restoring order. Two persons
were injured and five were arrested.
In January W. P. Monson, chief of
the Mormon missionaries in England,
addressed a letter co the home secre¬
tary, Winston Spencer Churchill, se¬
conding the request of certain English
clergy that the home office investi¬
gate Mormonism in England. Monson
ceclared that the Mormons were be¬
ing persecuted. An anti-Mormon cam¬
paign was organize! at Liverpool by
the bishop of Liverpool and other prom
irent churchmen. The object was
the expulsion from England of the
Mormon missionaries who were
charged with sending many recruits,
chiefly girls to the United States.
The movement was taken up by the
clergy of other cities.
