Hopkins University in 1876. In the
early days those few students who
wanted advanced graduate work
went abroad for study. Until about
1870 in Georgia the master's degree
was granted to former students who
made application three years after
receiving *he bachelor’s degree. This
was the early custom In other states

History record, that in May 1801
Elijah Clark. William Prince, John
Forsyth, and Henry Meigs were
given the master of art- degree. Fif
teen such degrees were conferred
from 1804 to 1814.
Until recent times the South ha>
posses-ed colleges but few universi

first University. Now there are
many. Graduate work i» u modern

authority for the statement that
Yale did no formal graduate work
until the fifties o? the past century
and reorganized its graduate courses
in 1872 with 5tty students, that
Harvard began its formal graduate
work in 1872. But we know that a
south ^*n *iil*titut|on preceded tHi3
by several years. Informal work
was done at Virginia nt a very early
date in its history hut its first form
al courses were given by Gilder-
aleeve in 1859-60. Chfldersleeve was
a Southerner, born in Charleston.
He studied at Princeton but received

Greek at Virginia in 1856 and re
mained there until the organization
of Hopkins in 1876. At Virginia
he organized the ‘post-graduate’
courses in 1859-60. He became one
of the greatest scholars in America.
Virginia gave the Ph.p. degree as
early as 1880.
The fir: t curriculum for the mas
ter’s degree at the University of ]
Georgia is found in the catalogue of
1868-69. The first men who seem
ingly took advantage of this special
instruction were Washington Dessau,
Walter B. Hill, and Burgess Smith
who received their master’s degree
in 1871. They were all Georgian*

TOLL OF DISEASE IS HIGHEST
IN HISTORY
Statistics Show A Big Increase in
Fatalities in Degrene<r*t7ee
With the death rate from diabetes
for the first quarter of 1929 the
highest cvr recorded in the United
State? and Canada for any three-
monht period, with the number of
cancer deaths showing no decrease,
and with the toll levied by heart
disease cerebral hemorrhage and
chronic nephritis mounting to ncw (
high levels, medical men in general j
are aroused.
While it generally agreed that th? j
high mortality so far this year ha-
been due almost entirely to the ef
fects, direct or indirect, of the rec
ent influenza epidemic, the steady
gains of degenerative disease-,
especially of cancer, are causing wide
comment.
“There is not the slightest sign of
improvement with respect to can
cer,” says a leading life in?urance
c o m p u n y. “Supplementing our
statement that 1928 had recorded
a new maximum for this disease, it
must now be recorded that the first
quarter of 1929 has registered a
death rate for whites and colored
policy holders combined of 76.4 per
1C0.000, as compared with 75.8 dur
ing the like period of last year.
The organic heart disease death
rate for the fir.-t quarter of 1929
among polciy holders was 165.8 per
100,000. ns ngain«t 189 in 1927 and;
142.5 in 1928.
