THE ST Ax
It ii objected to a university foun
ded liy the Slate lint such an insti-
iut.i,n must if necessity be cun-
lined t i one locality, and therefore
be pr. (liable unequally to the peo
ple who are taxed in general to sup
port it; for tile benefits muit be
chief! monopolized by those living
in the vicini'y. T- this it is ans-
we ed:
Answer is’. E ery slate institu
tion, or permanent structure estab
lished for the people, must have
perma .ent locality, and consequent
ly mii’t of necessity 28' ve conveni
ence to some that others do not
have
A. The school house in the
counlry, located in a hundred yards
from some children and three or
tour miles from others, give* im
portune advonlages to the former,
and | laces at gieat disadvantage
those compelled to walk daily three
or f ur miles, sometimes under des
cending rains, or facing bleak
w ind-, and compelled to cross at
times, with danger, swolen cricks
or oilitr strea r.s. If ihtre is any
force in ti.e locality objection, what
an act of lavoritsm is shown to the
families in the vicinity, and whai
an outrage is perpetrated upon the
distant family (hat may he compell
ed to go to the expense of horse
a ill Vehicle, and in the case of small
cliii lien exclusively to the addition-
a 1 expense of a more mu'ure at
tend nts in order to guard against
dang, r* and (accidents. If there is
any force in this objection, neigh-
hothood school house* should be
abolished, and, if the schools arc
still to be maintsii ed, portable tent*
rlioulc be utilized, so tha' the school
mat circulate around, stopping
ul the door of each family—as the
. Id- me school master used to
“boar I around.”
B. The State house is located in
Atlanta, giving great advantage to
the representatives from Fu'ton
county, especially to those residing
in th> city. They can be with their
fami 1 e-; reside at their own homes,
and ii cidently give an eve and oc
casional a hand to their private bus
iness. Shall the people by general
taxation be compelled to contribute
to the huildipg of a magnificeut
copilot that affords such advantages
to a very few which it withholds
from the representatives of the peo
ple living in other and distant re
gion? Shame upon such discrim-
inltion and favoTiism! * Abolish
all state houses and let the people
have -self-made” laws also, or else
let the representatives of the people
irgislate in two gryat tents, that can
circulate by rotation through nil the
teniio-y, and among all the people
of the Slate.
c. The Western & Atlantic
Rail:nail also built and equipped,
and, until it became self supporting
sustained by gene al taxation of the
people was located in one section
alone. Only the people living
along ihe line of its extended locali
ty coul l avail thermclves of it, in
the first instance as passengers or as
hippers; and to their doors alone
ras it able to deliver freight. The
eople of other parts of the State
ave to ride vast distances at ex-
ense before they can reach the
tars bought in part by their own
memy, and their freight must tra
verse! nmensa reaches of road be
fore it i an utilize railroad facilities
which uwe their existence in large
measuieto taxation unequally ex
torted fium them. Can a satisfac
tory aii-wer be given to this? Of
course, t can be showned that by
dcvel ping'a rich, virgin region
the VVi .fern and Atlantic Railroad
brought property and people into
peorgia. who-e contributions
ihrougt! taxation and otheywisegqve
pfC(iriury resources to thft Sfate
(liai sp. j;dily reimbursed (he monpy
pxpeiulcd in (he • construction; that
it marip possible, anil,stimulated the
ponsf uction nf t le system of rail
roads now in existence in the Stato
which in turn developed other re
gions, circulating new and advanc.
ed idea in relation to all possible
thing* c innectcd with the people's
hab.ts, interests and enterprises;
stimulu'ing industry and production
and d Ifusing prosperity and intelli
gence every where, Has the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad dong
these things, and more to the peo-
in the State, and that too, became it
wa* lot- ted in Cherokee Georgia?
Then it follows that a structure
eiccte l by general taxation may be
piofi abie to all the people ot the
Siate fj‘,m Ihe very fact that it it
Iccated in one spot or One region.
On the same pririeiple it caij bp
that the Ufiiyerslty of Geo(-

had treasureres to distribut to ap
plicants, or office* of honor or emol
ument to bestow on all who enroll-
their name*, then those in the vicin
ity would have greatly the advan
tage, especially, if, after the entol!.
meut of names, time had to be spent
for a judicious discrimination, and a
wise distribution of favors. Those
at a distant might be placed at
great comparative disadvantage,
because those in the vicinity might
snticipate them in the enrollment
and because they might have to
wait at great expense the possible
tsrdy announcement of thedistrihu-
tion. But the University ofiers
.nothing but ti.e facilities for hard
intellectual work to those who have
a thirst for self-development, cul
ture and knowledge. And even
those must have been already in
some measure expert*. By the
labor of many years they must have
mastered no small degree of funda
mental rudimentary learning, that
is the indespeusable preparations
for admission to the University,and
for commencing the hard and file
long labor of those who would be
educated and learned. By iaboiious
efforts height* are to climed and by
persistent delving depths of knowl
edge are to be penetrated. Every
thing ia to be made subordinate and
subsidiary to this. Ease, pleasure,
society—everything, except neces-
sary exercise, is to be made to yield
to the exacting demands upon time
and attention, 1'arents having
desires for their sons’ intellectual
culture, may crowd them into the
University, but unless the sons
share in the desire, their connection
with the University will be but
brief, and marked while it continues
with disappointment to parents and
disquietude to Faculties. Both
patties, Faculty and student, will
draw a long breath of relief when
the connection is severed, whether
by a voluntary withdrawal or a
forced removal, In a'population of
a million, one thousand may enter
the University of those self-impell-
eil or by the investigation and au
thority of ambitions Itiends; hut the
tests applied would soon divide the
number down to a few hundred,
especially if faculties would gently
hut firmly remove from the number
all those who are utilizing the op
portunity for other than the legiti
mate purpose ot earnest application
and study. Year before last Ath
ens proper sent ten [io] student* to
the University, while Atlanta, one
hundred miles distant, matriculated
twenty four [34-J The number of
'those in the vicinity ot Athens.who
tony for education culture and
learning, bears no larger ratio to
the aggregate of those of like aspi
rations in the State than do the 5
representatives, and the possible
senator, living in Atlanta under the
shadow of the State house, bear lo
the aggregate of legislators the
Stale over.
If appeals are made to prejudice,
or minds are confused, because the
lacation of the University has a pe
cuniary value to Athens not shared
in by other paits of the State, let it
he borne in mind that the same is
true of the people around the State
House, and around all the other
public institutions in the common
wealth. But let it be specially re
membered that the University was
located where it is because the air
was good and the water good, and
because in other respects it was as
suitable as any inhabited pi ace
could I c, but chiefly because Uov.
John MiPedgc gave 630 acres of
land located there. Instead ol the
University going to the people ot
Athen*. the people of Athens came
to it, and by coining contributed to
its resources by buying and im
pn ving its lands contiguous. Anc
there is no hesita'ion in saying that
by the facilities tlicy render to the
University, by thfir hospital
ity to (he stqdftnts, and the whole,
somp morftl and religious influence
by which they surround them, and
by the seaial culture imbibed from
the elegant society into which the
young men are cordially welcomed.
Tha people of Athens, to say the
least, make at valuable contribution
to the University oi Georgia as
they receive from that Institotiou.
Answea 3d. A true university is
a luminary, and illuminates alike
every locality.
A large city, like London or New
York, lighted up at night in house
and street by rush light, candle,lamp
gas jet and electricity, is in a condi
tion to afford its denizens msny
utilities. The poor by aid of far
thing candle move without difficul
ty through their obscure room*; the
rich tread with confidence hal^s qnii
corridors blazing wifh splendor, and
crowds thfpna 'Without danger or
jostling, street illumiuated by long
lows of gas lights and by meteor
electric globes, now sending their
horizomal lights glaring in the eyes
and, now from elevated positions
shedding them dowq with the soft
radianeq ot moonbeam*. Multi
plied illumiuations in factories,work
shop* and stores made the nichin’
ery goods and ware; aland out in
con«picuot|i yicw. And the sight
it wondrous and benutifulto behold.
But aftep a|l,'the illumination is but
local, limited and temporary. The
light altQ serves as well t° make the
darkness visible Night give* a pace,
and retires for a little; but it ii never
auf of sight, and it stands in com
pact array, ready to take advantage 1 barnm
again upon the space from which
it was relurtently driven. Sihadows
!uik in cqrner*, and hide behind
wall* that obstruct the light; ob
scurlty, brought into holder relief
and sharper outline by the blending
of the attinctive rays of the Stars as
a background, rest* on house-top,
battlement and turret on high; and
darkness of Egvption depts slum
bers all night long in chambers not
invaded by the light hearer. Dark
’aies and alleys ai-o furnish luik-
ing places for robbers and cut
throats, and hiding places for debs
of iniquents.
While it may be granted that
these lights are valuable because
they are small, and distributed, and
portable, and near at hand, it mutt
be admitted that they are defective,
because their rays, simgleand com
bined, illuminatcbut to small distan
ces, and hopelessly suggest the ex
istence of valuable and beautiful ob
jects that they are powerless to dis
clone.
But when the nun, the great lumi
nary of day, ascends above the ho-
rison, darkness disappears, and 'the
shadows of the night all flee away,
nor stand on the or Jer of their re
tiring. Its rays fill the whole con
cave of heaven, blotting out the
stars, ’ and descending on earth,
floods sea and land, and all things on
their suiface, with impartial illumi
nation. Men go forth with confi
dence to their business and pleas
ures; and tread paths, however in
tricate, unheasitantly, because an af-
flurence of light rests on them. And
all this, too, because the sun is a
great aggregate, possessing in rela
tion to the system, it enlightens ans
and warms a fixed and definite lo
cation. What, though its body is
94,000,000 miles away, its rays, or
waves, are everywhere in multitu
dinous number and force; and it is
effective to serve all worlds because
it has adefinite locality, and remains
a great aggregate, not divided up,
and parcelled out among the worlds
it illuminates and warms.
The school of huroble name, the
Common School, the High School
aud the Academy, distributed
through town and country, give the
light of education in variousdegrees
of brightness, and they arc a bles
sing to the people wherever they
exist. They give rudimentary
knowledge in letters, and, in some
instances, carry the knowledge to
no mean; degree,, acquainting the
pupil with much that is useful and
disciplinary, qualifying him for the
transaction of business, and a grace
ful bearing among men in all the
relations ol life. They even some
times stimulate to a design for
knowledge they do not themselves
impart, and prompt the youth, dis
posed to make of himself “a self
made man,” to use the available
means for the attainment ot that
end. But these schools do not pro
fess to furnish u disciplinary course,
with the intent to cultivate and
develop all faculties uf the mind. It
daes not necessarily follow then that |
they make their pupils capable of
independent thought; and too fro
quently they evuip them only so far
as to make them the easy victim of
the man of prudence and the dema
gogue.
The true University, on the con
trary, makes it possible for its pupili
to meddle with all knowledge; and
it it suie, if it be successful, to place
everywhere educated men—men
trained to habit and independent
thought, and equipped with know-
lege adequate to throw light on all
live questions with which the minds
of the people are struggling, and
competent to guard them to their
proper solution. Statesmen, editors,
teachers and other professional
classes, authors, discoverers of great
principals and agencies in nature,
which are utilized by invention for
thy promutionof useful and orna
mental arts-these, and others like
them, are they that have “made
themselves” by the use of facilities
aflorded by umversitiei and colleges;
and they are a blessing everywhere.
It fs 00 presumption to say that the
University of Georgia ii sending, as
it has always done, rays ot interlec
tusl light that illuminate every
region in the extended territory of
Georgia.
But it is objected again that the
State should not by general taxation
contribute toa university, because it
is an institution chiefly for rich
mens’ sons. The satisfactoiy
answer to tnis is that on the contrary
it is an institution . intended to
furnish facilities to those without
reference to their condition in life.
It{oWi *> tha classes not rich have a
large measurable majority over those
who are, it follows that the 'former
class furnish a larger number who
thirst for knowiegr and education
than do the latter, and, therefore, it
lolbws practically in fact that Uni-
pivvrsltles and Colleges are in •
preeminent degree the institutions
or those with limited means. But
this wilf be incidentally illustrated
fqrthtf on in the discussion.
