COLONEL JI. J. HfIJWOHD’S GREAT SPEECH
Full Text of His Magnificent Defense of the University of Geor
gia Delivered Before the General Assembly.
Mr. I'rcsldent, Mr. Speaker and Gcntlc.-
m< n of the General Assembly: 1 am the
mouthpiece this morning, by authority, of
tile board of trustees of the university.
They by law are public servants, subject
to the control of the general assembly. In
the university no man of them lias any
personal interest. For serving the univer
sity, no man of them gets any pay, except
occasional thanks ami much criticism. Wo
li.iv- been selected according to the forms
of law to take charge of a great public
intcK-st. You, as tin- guardians over us,
are inquiring into that administration. We
u ,r- to present in our own waj subject,
if you phase, to any questions which yon
d -ire Io ask upon any pertinent question,
the views which we have on tile important
ii.:.tiers which now divide public Sctiti-
The Hostile Sentiment.
I may be pardoned for saying that there
is :n the air some hostile sentiment to
tn iv. rsity. I believe that <-vety man who
f. nkindly Io it feels so b. cause lie is
m' i nformed or uninformed as to the
m ole facts concerning the matter. It is
... : " cl uncommon for everybody to
m:.- ak. s about everything, ami
• . r. for. it is no harm for everybody,
never Int lligent they are and whatever
po.-ition, to hear both sides before
. a judgment. When I was a gehool-
n tin- little copy of "Watts on the
c d. in which I leaned to read, th.ro
storj : Timon had a dog, which
w.-m into a. church on the Sabbath day,
t mau palled out Ids pistol and shot
h ■ d< id An old sist< r said: "What
mi ' T.men's dog was th. gentlest
the city, the most lovable dog In
• mly. and for that man to shoot him!
business had he with a pistol in his
ket ami to shoot it off at that dog while
gospel was bi ing preached
.- man said, "Wait, that was tile best
. in town, that is true, but he w.-nt
n ’" and the old sister then said: "What
a blessing it was that th< man had his
p iol and could shoot him to prevent
uni being done!" Sh. had simply heard
. •■■m t'm other side and changed her opin-
• • thnf was all. She was right on the
■ : which she first had; she got rigid on
: li the facts, by a change in 1., r mind,
after hearing the other side.
Trustees Not Notified.
You v. II observe now tliat the joint com
mittee was mad.- and intti.-l.d with asp--
, , object. Its number was twelve, iiko I
a imy. It was to notify the trustees of tno
on, so that tin trustees might

true, in the light of history. The constitu

Governor Gilmer died, lie left slo,oo<l to bo

You didn’t appropriate it. Terrell gave

that for lectures in agriculture only, and

Mr. Brown’s bill provided for no endow
ment of the university, but left there a
vacuum.
The action of tlm Brown bill, in the com
mittee on agriculture iu 1895, was as fol
lows:
After tlie discussion on tlm bill, the fol
lowing resolution was passed by a vote
of 22 yeas to 10 nays:
"Resolved, Tliat. the committee report

joint resolution:
"Wh< r. as, Tlie house committee on gen
eral agriculture has carefully consid. red
the condition and work of tlie Stale College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, now a

"Resolved, by the house of representa

educational interests of the state general
ly ”
In that committee on general agriculture,
the vote on Howell’s substitute for house
bill No. 273 was taken November 11, 1895.
For the substitute, 22, and against the
substitute 10.
The matter Is here again -here by’ men
who believe it ought to I"- done. 1 am not
questioning their honesty at all. But limy
ar.' men who I think are mistaken, and I
am willing for nobody to -x-amine Hie
facts and see who is right. Let. us take,
for instance, some other history, to illus
trate the matter.
Manual Labor Schools.
in 1.877. George G. Smith, Jr., of tlie
North Georgia conference of the Method
ist Episcopal church, south, published his
“History of Methodism in Georgia and
Florida”
At page 500, after having giv< n the strug
gle between Culloden and Covington for
tin location of a church school, and hav
ing stated that Covington was si ieet.'d as
tlm place, and told what ;-.r. at preparations
w.rc m,id.- for its success, the author
stated as follows:
"For four years the Manual Labor school
progrcss- tl with almost unprecedented pop
ularity, such xvas the public desire to
connect a knowledge of agricultural pur
wltl a coursi of literary and scien
tiiie in. trti' tlon in the education of tin
young of our sex. Tlie college board then
bought out tile concern, assumed its debts,
and the sy’.stem xvas abandoned. It is true
that among so large a number of students,
isly embed and received from
all classes of society, and during the prev
alence of our 'peculiar Institution.' there
were many pupils xx’ho were reluctant to
confottn io tim rules am! duties of the
farming department. Such annoyances wi re
to tie . xp» e-.-d In working out this com
plex regime, so novel and untried in the
south. But this was not regarded as the
primary ami fundamental cause for aban
the system. It was debt, constat
accumulating, inexorable debt. To k< ' p
tii.- complhated machinery in motion r< -
quired the inevitable incurrence of ex
penses xvhich tlie utmost possible el' ir in-
.. : om tlx farm proved insufficient
to meet. To supply so large a body of in
exp' ricne. d workers, for only three hours
in the afternoon of etch day, it I»eame
necessary to stock the farm with two or
thr"" times as many hors-s or mule.-,
plows and gears, h axt s, etc., as any
thrifty farmer would require, who could
emplox’ his hands in cultivation during tlm
Who!. ’day. Saturday’ included, imt xxhii fi,
by long standing usage in otli< r schools -
tin- stud, ms claimed. From this triple
supply of farm ng implements there was
m<i .- arily a greater loss by breakage,
waste, blacksmi'h's bills, etc,, to xxhica
max- bi- superadded the large annual
amount paid to the students tot < x.-ty
. ,k, and the inti i ' ‘ ■
i invested without corn spending returns
from th.- farm. It proved to !>••. I !'• x !"i
an onerous, unprofitable and losing eiiti r
pi'ise. ami prudence t-<1" nd its .ibam 1 oii
mctit'. Ami the same fruitful sour"'s of
finimial di-eister ImV' e.'.nsed th" failure
of almost every otln.r similar esi.alilishment
i the north and west. I’erhap:.. liownver.
an institution supplied with a large 'sink
ing fund’ or a lib- ral endowment might lie
, • ■ . . i . tin
and thus securing the bem fits w hleh tlie
combination of labor xxlth study promis a
to bestow.”
If tliat witness, George Smith, bo not
satisfactory because the time about wl’.i' li
he spok" is long ago, let mi- call attention
to Senator Morrill, the father of this sys
tem, a man of great learning and great lu
tite neo throughout the union, still In his
old ag" a leading senator. In 189.3 he said:
"Berhai's the most expensive system of
education of any in the world is the sys
tem of practical science so taught as to
give it broader field for the industrial
classes;’’ and Senator Blair, chairman of
the committee on educational labor in the
s< n ite of the I'nlt-'d Stat'-s, on the 17th
of May, 1890. said: "Perhaps, contrary to
the gi in ral impression, the proper equip
ment of one of these colleges is far more
expensive, being at least ten times greater
than that of an ordinary classical Institu
tion. A college of agriculture ami mechanic
is : it a cheap affair, and the sooner
we awak" to the idea that it will and ought
to emt s imettiing to spr. id tin- kiiu't•.< d

I: is said that you may not ic.ieii "toe
sciences related to agr culture” without a
farm. 1 admit you cannot do It wil.
