Sketch of Ntw Officials.
Professor'David C. Barrow Is a na
tive of Georgia, a son of the late D. C.
Barrow, and a brother of the late
Judge Pope Barrow, of Savannah. He
Is a graduate of the University of Geor
gia In the class of 1871. For more
than twenty years he has been a mem
ber of the faculty of the university,
first as professor of engineering, then
as professor of mathematics, the posi
tion he now holds, and then as dean of
Franklin College, becoming acting
chancellor upon the death of Chancel
lor Hill.
Professor Charles M. Snelllng is a
native of Virginia, coming to the uni
versity In 1889 from Thomasvllle. Ga.,
to take charge of the work as adjunct
professor of mathematics, He Is now a
full professor of mathematics. For a
Thomas N. Denmark, has been present
ed to the law department of the uni
versity. The unlvemity has had no
more loyal or distinguished son than
Brantley Denmark. His devotion to
the Institution was amply shown by hla
labor In her Interest, and his munifi
cent gifts. Thomas N. Denmark, a
recent graduate of the law. department,
bid fair, up to the date of his untime
ly death, to emulate his Illustrious fath
er. It Is a most graceful act on the
part of the widow and mother where
by the gift to the university becomes
at once effective.
The need of a reference library In
the law department has long been sore
ly felt, and at no ti:\o so keenly as
within the last few years, since the
course has been extended and the stan
dard raised to Its present state of ef
ficiency. Previous to that action the
most brilliant graduates -who attended
the great schools of the country were
compelled to take the full course.
In connection with this gift of the
Denmark library to the law depart
ment, It Is also stated that the entire
estate of Mr. Denmark will, at the
death of Mrs. Denmark, come to the
University of Georgia. This estate Is
said to amount to 8150,000. .
Brantley A. Denmark; at the 'time ot
his death, was trustee of the university
apd chairman of the alumni endow
ment committee. It was mainly through
his work that this fund of 8400,000 was
raised. One of the buildings on the

■ Upon the decision ot the Southeast,
ern Passenger Association Wednesday
hinges the movement of the National
Guard of Georgia to the encampment
nt Chlekamnuga In August.
If the passenger men Insist on ths
two-cent rate allowed by the govern
ment for moving troops and decline to
allow the one-cent rato given the state
ifor transportation of the men within
the state, then there Is s possibility
that Georgia will not be represented in
the encampment.
Colonel Scott Insists that the rate of
one cent a mils should be allotted, be-
cause the movement fs wholly within
the suite, and the war department sets
aside a certain sum for Georgia to l>«
used In moving her troops to Chlcku-
mauga, another sum for payment of
the men, and still another for sub
sistence.
These sums, amounting to about
818,000 In all, must bo used for ths
