resolution passed by the board
of trustees of Mtrcer University In
Columbus last week and which was
yesterday given out, prot Ides for twelve
scholarships to young men of the city
of Macon who are unable to pay tui
tion. The resolutions passed also pro
vided that the applicants sitaall bs ap
pointed dlrfctly by the president of
Mercer University. This action still
(Ives the city the showlnr provided In
the wenting of the board of trustees
In $172. hut the mayor and council will
no lonccr have the prerogative of ap
pointment. There Is n provision in the
(Ivins of this benefaction that the
youns men shell be bona fide residents
of the city of Macon.
The records which were found Just
before the meeting of the board
trustees in Columbus were presented
at thla meeting and were said to be
the result of a desire to manifest some
appreciation of the kindneea shown the
institution by the city many years
and from time to time since end the
Investigation resulted In the popular
conviction that the scholarships should
still go to the dtr.^SUHPHi
The board of trustees readily chose
to keep the scholarships held out to
the young men. but there was a de
sire to change the method of giving
on account or continued unsatisfactory
results In the former system, and the
action of last week will In all probabil
ity remain the policy of Mercer Uni
versity In the donation for a number
of years.
Ths Resolutions.
The resolutions passed by the trus
tees In their meeting in Columbus last
week, it ts said, will convey their.wtab-
ee both for the present end the future.
These were passed on Nov. Ilud. and
are as follows:
Although It ta evident after thor
ough Investigation that the offering of
the “Macon Scholarships" by the trus
tees of Mercer University was not a
port of any contract of any nature, but
on the contrary an entirely gratuitous
act without consideration on -the part
of the trustees w
tton offering th
tuition":
Therefore be It resolved by the trus
tees of Mercer Unlverilty.
First, that free tuition be granted to
twelve young' men of Macon on the
following terms:
1. Those wishing to share in this
benefaction shall npply for appoint
ment directly to the prcildent of Mer
cer University.
2. They shall he bona tide residents
of the etty of Macon. .
t. They "shall be such who are un
able lo pay tuition."
Resolved second, that the president
and faculty -of Mercer University shall
enforce the foregoing provisions after
a manner analogous to that used by
them In administering other similar
benefactions.
Resolved third, that this offer of free
tuttfbn hold for so long a time only
as shall be found satisfactory to this
board.
The mayor and council of the city
have not been officially Informed of
this action of the board of trustees.
This will be done before the meeting
of council next Tuesday night. It was
not known yesterday what action
would be taken by this body.
Accompanying the -esolutlon which
waa given out at Mercer ta a statement
from acting president XV. H. Kilpatrick
as follows:
“Mercer University warn moved from
Penfletd to Macon In accordance with
a contract carefully drawn by attor
neys representing both Mercer Univer
sity and the city of Kaocn. This con

est mention of scholarships Is made in
any manner, shape, or form.
