Many Old Grads Among Visitors
at Annual Commencement
of University.
The University of Georgia is at the
close of the most prosperous session in
the history of the institution. More
than f>no students were registered dur
ing the year and the achievements of
the body as a whole have been of a
higher grade of excellence than ever
before. But the present commence
ment will go down in history as notable
foi the beginning of a period of devel
opment which will end only when

■'Georgia" ranks with the leading uni
versities of the East.
In the board of visitors report, which
has been rendered to the trustees of
the university, a series of nineteen rec
ommendations is made. More than half
of these are already embodied In plans
w’hich will begin to work out next year.
Before many more moons the law de
partment of the university will have
a building to itself which will cost
$50,000.
This movement, which is now well
formed, had its genesis with the stu
dent body. Henry Newnan, of Atlanta
together with Joe Deadwyler and a
number of others pointed out to the
trustees the necessity for better ar
rangement and equipment of the law
class rooms that was now provided
for in the academic building. When the
board of visitors, headed by Prof. J. A.
Mershon. of Gainesville, made its re
port this plan was heartily concurred
in.
A students committee will go before
the state legislature this summer for
an appropriation.
For Dramatic Art School.
By far the most daring plan which
is now on foot and which stands a
chance of materializing is that one
which would provide a school of dra
matic art such as exists only at Har
vard and the University of Chicago.
Prof. R. E. Park, head of the English
department, is sponsor for this.
"It s my idea.” said Prof Park, "to
have a school that would teach the
structure of the drama—play writing
| in other w ords."
As a secret of by-product and first
aid to this department students would
be trained in the performance of well
known plays.
In addition to these plans the uni
versity also proposes to establish a
school of commerce and to make val
uable additions to the departments of
science and depaitments of pharmacy.
Athens is now fairly humming with
commencement spirit. The season rnjght
well be called alumni year, for more
than five class reunions will take place
and scattered alumni are reaching the
city by every train.
To one who didn't know, the place
might look like a suburb of Atlanta.
Not only are old Atlanta grads in evi
dence everywhere, but a goodly per
centage of the < ommencement girls
claim Atlanta as their borne.
The class of I'JO7. headed by the re
doubtable Harrison Jonhs and William
| Brantley, both of Atlanta, hits town
this afternoon in time to take in the
prize drill and attend the junior hop
tonight. Among the prominent Atlan
tans in this class are Remsen Porter
King. Philip Wehner, the well-known
attorney. Walton Griffith. G. H. Gil
lon. Grovet C. Middlebrooks. Trammel
Scott. J. G. Mays and boring Raoul.
Class of 75 Gathers.
The most notable event in the way
of reunions, however, will be the gath
ering together of the class of 1875.

CONGRESS NICE
AVGUSTA, GA., June 17—Judge
Horace M. Holden, former justice of
the state supreme court, announced
his candidacy for congress from the
Tenth district this afternoon. He will
give a formal statement to the press at
once, and will follow that later with a
platform announcement.
Judge Holden believes that his pros
pects of election are exceedingly bright.
He will enter at once upon an aggres
sive campaign.
So far the present congressman from
the Tenth, Thomas W. Hardwick, has
made no announcement for re-election.
There has been an effort to get Mr.
Hardwick to enter the governor’s race,
and Judge Holden’s announcement un
doubtedly will bring that matter to a
head.
The general impression throughout
the district is that Hardwick will run
for congress again.
ONE REBEL LEADER

capture of the generals except to say
that the federals won a decisive vic
tory. \
