"Atlanta need Oglethorpe Univer

acknowledge d. feat, it is' only n
.piestion of every Atlantan putting

life Atlanta Constitution—
"The ref on tiding of Oglethorpe in
Atlanta will make this city the cen
ter for higher education in the
Southern States.”
Atlanta has been the toast and the miracle of this material age
Rising like a Phoenix out of the ashes of 1863, it is to-day a
city of 200,000 people—the richest, the boldest, the most enterprs
ing and the most beautiful city of the South. It has never known a
panic and never called a halt in its prosperity and growth. lis real
estate history reads like a fairy tale, in which Aladdin s lamp is dis
counted in the wonderful things that have been realized from faith
and good wishes expressed in Atlanta dirt. Half or two-thirds of
the rich men of Atlanta have grown rich out of their faith in its
real estate.
The Atlanta Journal—
"Years from now when ail of us
have turned I" dust-Ogtethorpe Uni
varsity stijl will be growing, still will
be training the youth of the laud.

main a monument of our part of it.
"It will perpetuate us.’’
The Atlanta Journal
“Meter before lias Atlanta pos
sussed so golden a elm nee. to serve its
own interests and those of the South.
It she raises the quarter of a util
lion dollars expected of her, she will
establish a mil Non dollar university
that will grow rapidly in strength
anti prestige, and come to rank
among the greatest institutions.”
This famous university is t b refo
Atlanta’s unfailing spirit ism king

Atlantans need only to uder stand
what Yale is to Cambridge Pritetcn Ur
the list.
Here comes Oglethorpe University as the crown and capstone
of all Atlanta’s attractions. A great university, center of education
and culture, the moral, spiritual, intellectual climax to the zenith
city of Southern progress and enterprise.

BETTING GREAT OPPORTUNE

"There are High purposes to be
served by Oglethorpe University
which Atlanta has declared must he
l’efounded here.
"But there is another view of the
matter—the view of the material
side.
"Harvard University is located in
Boston. The average enrollment of
Harvard is t.oUO students. Accept
iug the estimate as that. $1,000 a
year is spent for or by every student
in an institution of that kind. THAT
MEANS THAI" Ttl’S UofNTRA

Georgia's .annual peach crop.”
Standing like fair Harvard to Boston, hke Columbia to New
3 ork, like Chicago to Chicago, like Berkeley to San Francisco and
like Princeton to the Central East, our Oglethorpe, now certain
and assured, will be the shrine at which material and intellectual At
lanta will mingle their devotiort, receive their inspiration, renew
their faith and quicken their young manhood to more splendid
service.

Hie soil about Oglethorpe will be almost sacred soil. A home
about Oglethorpe will be beyond all value. Silver Lake Estates will
be girt by streets of golden association and opportunity. Happy
the man whose home is planted there.
