THE TRUSTEES 1 PAPER
THE ARGUMENT READ IN ATLAN
TA LAST WEEK. •
9 Fall Text of the Claim presented the Com.
mluionevs of Technology by the Unlver-
Bltj of Georgia.
The following is the full text 'of the
admirable paper prepared by Mr. W. W.
Thomas and read last week in Atlanta;
To the Commission* r* on the
School of Technology ; Gentlemen;
The unders’gned, Committee of the
Bj.-»rd <f Trustees of the Univcrs : —
ty ol Georgia, herewith respectful
ly submit the request of the Trus
tees for the location of the State
School of Technology at Athens.
Ga;—the offer of the Hoard and
certain other inducements to locate
it a* that place, together with some
considerations, which in the* opin
ion of the Committee, should con
trol the selection of ihe site.
Section 111 of the Act prviding for
-the establishment of the School of Tech-
ngltigy, requires it to be .located ‘•within
or near to that city or town which - shall
offer the best inducements for such loca
tion in the opinion of said Commission”.
It is further required in the same section
that the Commission* shall give prefe
rence to such “place as Shall be easy of
access to all the people of the State,
bavins due Tegard to the appropratenesx,
eligibility and hc-althfulness of the sur
roundings, as well as to'any offer or do
nation of value that may be made to se
cure the said school and any inucements
offered by any non-sectarian educational
institution of this State.”
In the order named in the act, the
preference shall be given to that place
which offers the best inducements and
which also offers, 1. Accessbility, 2. Ap
propriateness, 3. Eligibility, 4. Health
fulness, 5. Donations of Value and 6. In
ducements of non-sectarian Institutions.
As to the first four of these, not only
does the city of Athens fully meet them
but it is the only place within the State
which does fully meet them, for other
places which are accessible lack appro
priateness and some which might fill
other requirements lack healthfulness
while Athens alone is equal to them all.
1. Accessibility. Athens is reached
by rail both from the north and south,
with ten daily passenger trains, in and
out, connecting with all parts of the
State. In timeitis situated five hours
from Atlanta, five from Augusta, ten
from Macon, fifteen from Savannah, etc.
and before the School is established, new
lines of railway, now being constructed
will.largely decrease some of these, both
in time and cost. ^
Athens therefore fully meets the re
quirement of the Act,' in being easy of
access to all the people of the Stale.
2. Appropriateness. The appropriate
ness of locating the School at Athens,
s. suggests- itself at once, to any candid
^^''—'■mind. .The School is to lie a part of the
. tJiWreTwtyr^-twMich-of the parent stem.
"What location can be so appropriate as
within the shadow of the old tree, shel
tered by its outspreanidg arms, nurtured
by its rich foliage, strengthened by its
associations and dignified by its cetnnry
of honored growth?
No location can be so appropriate as
Athens, as a site for this School.
3. Eligibility. This term we suppose
to be used in the Act, in the sense of
worthiness or fitness to be chosen, rather
than in the sense of legal qualification.
What has been said in regard to the ap
propriateness of Athens as a site for the
School, applies with equal force in this
connection and certainly there is no dis
qualification in the way of its selection. #
Athens is a thriving city of 6100 in-
, habitants, by the U. S. Census of 1880,
of the highest moral tone, of fine
social reputation, of good business con
nections, under the operation of strict
prohibition laws, with many manufactu
ring establishments, where students in
the manual departments may find situa
tions, is in every way fitted for the guar-
.dianship of youth and unquestionably
fills the requirement of ‘eligibility’ as a
location for the School.
4. Healthfulness. The healthfulness
of Athens has long beeh the pride of her
citizens and one of her acknowledged
attributes. Statistics will show that
* there are few places in Georgia so health
ful as Athens and certainly none are
more so.
5. Donations of Value. The Trustees
of the University offer, through the
Committee, the following donations of
value, to secure the location of the
School at Athens, Ga^ viz;—
a. An eligible and suitable site for the
buildings, workshops etc. on the Univer
sity Campus, valued at $10.(X)0.00.
b. The three story stone building
known as the University High School or
Rock Colleg, with four acres of land at
tached, for mechanical or other purposes-
valued at $25,000.00.
6. Inducements of non-sectarian In-
stitutions. The University of Ga^ being
a non-rectarian educational institution
of this Slate, > the - Trustees offer as in
ducements for the location of the School
of Technology at Athens, the following;
The School of Civil Engineering, now
in successful operation.
The School of Applied Chemistry,
now in full operation.
The 8chool of Physic, now in full oper
ation.
The School of Agriculture, now in full
operation.
The School of Mechanical Drawing.
The Philosophical-Apparatus of the
University, large and valuable.
The use of the Physical Labratory.
The complete Chemical Labroratory
and Appliances.
The full set of Engineering Instruments
and Testing Machines.
The valuable Models and Drawings of
the State College, v , ,..
The University Library, the largest and
most valuable in Georgia.
The-large and growing Museum of
Mineral and Geological specimens.
The School of Parliamentary law, not
taught elsewhere in the State. .
University Diplomas to all students of
; the School of Technology, who may suc
cessfully compete for them.
The opportunity for students to ob-
_ tain aid fr0ca. the Charles McDor.ald
Brown Scholarship Fund, which, under
the terms of the gift would not be availa
ble if the School were located elsewhere,
and which in the course of time will !><■
Urge enough to support large numbers of
poor but deserving young men.
These inducements, in tho view of this
Coinmittee,are irresistible and conclusive.
But this is not all. \
If the School of Technology were in
tended to be simply a manual training
school or a school of industrial science
only, anough has been said to show that
the city of Athens^is the jnost suitable
the most natural and the most appropriate
place for it The advantages it would de
rive from being located there and which
would not be available elsewhere seems
to be overwhelming. But when it is
considered that |t is not merely such an
institution, the argument in favor of the
location asked for, becomes unanswer
able.
If the school is to be more than a mere
manual training school, we dome to the
question; AVhat is to be its scope? What
is to teach? And what classes of profes
sional men will it graduate?
The answer to these questions is found
in the act itself, section V, ip this lan
guage: “A course of practical training in
the use and manufacture of tools and ma-
chinos for wood apdirpn working shall
be provided for all the Students in aaul
school, and the curriculum or. course of.
training shall include as nea* as practica
ble, consistent with the appropriation
hereinafter made, the branches now
taught and followed to tho Fjwrinstitute
of Industrial Science at Worcester,Mass.”
In short it must teach the 8{£nq bran ch
id cation, aitd that witlrtfutconsidering
other^advantages of the greatest value
and the utmost importance.

generation dr for many generations. They

most importance in the establishment-of
this school and should have the greatest
weight in determining its location. Nor
it be denied that if established at
To this may be added the saving of
!G6, 666.66 over any location, making
the whole offer of the University'equal
to the sum of *
FOUB HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
The. Act of the GeneralAssembly re-
quirires you to • establish a School of
Technology, with the curriculum of the
Worcester Institute, but with tho im
portant restriction contained in the words
“as near as practicable, consistent with
the appropriation hereinafter made.” Sec.
V. The appropriation is made in Sec
tion XII which also requires that the
sum of $65,000 therein appropriated shall
pay, besides all grounds, buildings, ma
chinery, tools and appliances, the cost of
operating the school for one year.
The sum appropriated is wholy insuf-
ficent to do this, unless the school is lo
cated at Athens and within the reach of
the advantages which we offer you there.
The cost of establishing it at any 'place,
not hhving at least a large, part, of the
curriculum in operation, will absorb the
whole sum and more, leaving nothing for
its expenses for the first year. }
In any event it has been shown that to
locate the sfchool' at: Athens, under the
terms of this offer, is equivalent to an
annual saving of$12,0QUover any other, succeed in making any^. arrest. Xhe, of-
KATE SOUTHERN’S HUSBAND.
e Is Caught In a Revenue Scrape and Re
ceives Heavy s-'ntence--0ther Court
Matter., - •* —
ATi.axTA, Oct. 8.—[Special/] Govern-
or McDanial today offered a reward of
$250 for the arrest and delivery. to the
sheriff of Chatham county of Allen Row
ell, the murderer of his wife, Rose Rowell.
The .'murder took place in Savannah. , on
the night of.. October 1st. Rowell and
his wife* had- been separated foT some
time, jand on the night in question he
went to her-house in order to obtain a
reconciliation. She refused and he de
liberately shot and killed her.
In : the United States court a very in
teresting trial has been in progress today.
Robert Southern, of Gilmer county, was
tried and sontenced by Judge Newman to
nine, months in the button county jail and
to pay a fine of $500. Sometime ago
revenue officers captured and destroyed a
stUl in Gilmer county, : the property of his
two brothers and himself but did hot
propriation made by the act will allow.
Now what does the ; Worcester Insti
tute teach and what tridnfing does it pro
vide?
Its annual catalogue for. 1886, states,
page 40, that it confers “diplomas with
the degree of Bachelor of, ” **
that the diploma’ designht-
ment of the institute to which the gradt*-.
ate belonged.” • *3 W'
There are in the institute, pages 21 and
52 of the catalogue, ftve of these*'' depart
ments, as follows:
Civil Engineering. ; . ft ^ • ]
Chemistry.
Drawing.
Physics.
Mechanical engineering.
These five tK n comprise, the depart
ments taught at % Worcester, and the Uni
versity of Georgia already has four of
them in successful operation. That of
mechanical engineering only .is lacking
to enable the University to teach all the
branches and provide all the training
now furnished by the Worcester In
stitute.
The catalogue of tht Worcester school
for 1.886, gives ajist of the instructors in
that institution, page 7, as follows:
Professor of Chemistry.
Assistant Professor of Chemistry.
Assistant in Chemical Laboratory.
Professor of Higher Mathematics.
Junior Professor of Mathematics.
Professor of Modern Languages.
Assistant Professor of Modern Lan
guages. V* . _ -
Prof. Theoretical -and* Applied Me
chanics.
Professor Steam Engineering and De
signs.
Professor Civil Engineering.
Professor of Drawing.
Professor of Physics.
Snperintendent of machine Shops.
Condensing these to the subjects they
teach, wa find' that there are in that in
stitute, the following chairs or professor
ships, some of them having assistants,
viz:
• Chemistry.
Modern Languages.
Physics.
Civil Engineering.
Drawing.
Mathematics.
Mechanics.
Of these seven subjects which are
taught at Worcester, the University al
ready has schools successfully teaching
all but the last named, the subject of
mechanics.
So that, whether the subject be view
ed in relation to departments or mstruc-
ore 6r professorships, the addition of a
department of 4 mechanics? * furnishing
practical training, to the Schools already
in existence at the University, is all that
is needed to make its curriculum include
all that the Worcester institute furnishes
and more.
The claim is not here made that the
present faculty of the University is . ade
quate, as to numbers, to the training of
any very'large attendance of students in
addition to the number now attending
the University. The point is made here
solely on the subject matter.of the cur
riculum and it is evident that the profes
sorships here established will, be that
much saved, whether the number of
them is adequate or not
If located elsewhere in the state than
Athens, the Commission would be under
the necessity of establishing at least six
professorships here established, whiqh
we here offer to you already established
At the salaries now paid to professors
by the trustees, this would represent a
savinp- of $12,000 per annum and is equiv
alent ^ capitalized at the present rate of
interest paid by the state, to the sum of
$266,666.65.
In fine, at Athens, to establish a school
of technology, as required by the act it is
only necessary to add the workshop and
its outfit while elsewhere you must pro
vide not bnly the workshop and its outfit
but also all that is here offered in the
schools of engineering, ., chemistry
and physics. Here- vou.aad one depart-,
ment to four and make » complete entity
—elsewhere you must provide all five.
It is difficult to furnish as requested
by the commission the value of the ap
paratus, appliances* library, etc., the use
of which is here tendered to the School
of Technology, but the following may be
taken as an approximation:
Hite for building on campus..... . $ 10,000 ' once.
High school building and land.. -25,000

Saving LAhob.—Col. Bose Hiil and
Capt Whit Johnson were in the city this
week, and say that CoLJoseph S. Ba
of OglethoTpe, who is perhaps the .. ,
est man in Georgia, the other day started
to cut down a large oak that stood bn
the roadside near his home, but after
striking two or three licks^ laid aside
his axe and getting a chunk of fire and
some brush, deliberately set to wprk 'to „
hum down the tree. It took over*
week to thus fell the tree, but Col.
Baughn patiently sat on the fence all
that time and kept the fire going. Joe
says it takes longer time-to burn down
a tree than fell it with an axe, but then
he sires the wear and tear of his grind
stone. /

preached | last evening in the Presbyte
rian Church and will hold services this
morning. He leaves for Augusta this

The Elberton Road.—Mr. C. E.
Smith, of Washington, who has taken
great interest in the railroad situation of
