For the university site they hnd
placed before them the rival claims
of Midway and Washington. A pari
of the report published in the South
ern Recorder September 1, 1835,
reads: “Midway is near Milledgeville.
Milledgeville is distinguished for its
immorality and must be me
impure, so long as the government
is located here. As between Mil
ledgeville an«l Washington we could
not hesitate a moment. The issue
though is changed when the content
lies between Midway and Washing
ton. . . There can he but one ob
jection to Midway and that is found
in its vicinity to Milledgeville, who;
moral pollutions are confessedly
great, arising, not out of its pe
nent citizens hut from that floating
population which the government and
the legislature call here.”

it i» now, two miles! But if the moun- 25

Milledgeville newspapers, without ^
exception, had the warmest words of Sg
welcome and paise for the mew uni- |1
versity. When the salaries were II
raised and criticism was made on ac- II
count of the supposed largeness, the II
editor of the Southern Recorder II
wiate: “We have never been able to!
perceive the reason why the man'
who sells that which is absolutely I
essential to human life should re-'
cei\e less for his wares than he who j
sells the necessaries for the table ‘
•r the back. Of one thing we are!
wry «urc in relation t„ „h 0 f them, |
t-o lent: as we scrimp the price of!
necessaries either for tho back or the :
the mind or the stomach, bock or
mind or the stomach, just so long
we may be sure of obtaining but very
inferior articles for either.”
Oglethorpe University was the alma
mater of Sidney Lanier, where he
was tutor when he left for the war.
This university was the alma mater
for 72 Presbyterian ministers who
went out to serve—many of them
in most distinguished manner. It
was the alam« mater of 317 men
who made greater our beloved state
and other states. The undergradu
ates al>o have served nobly from
Thomas J. Woolf oik who went away
to join the Mexican army and then
won distinction in the Confederate
service on down to the many others
who out their college Ideals into
their daily lives. It was at Ogle-
thorpe University that President
Woodrow Wilson then known as lit
tle Tommy Wilson visited his uncle,
Dr. James Woodrow, professor of
chemistry. In the marker to be
erected, the old original cornerstone
is to be incorporated. Several years
ago, it was dug up out of the earth.
The original copper box it contain
ed was rusted and leaking, but most
of the papers were legible. The
newspapers of the day which it held
were: The Georgia Journal, Mil
ledgeville, Ga.. Tuesday morning,
March 28, 1837 the Southern Re
corder, Milledgeville, Ga.. Tuesday.
March 28, 1837; the Standard of
Union, Tuesday morning. March 28
1837. ’ |
All contained the proposed pro
gram for the laying of the corner
stone on March 31, which program
was changed somewhat when rain
prevented the morning address of j
Judge J. H. Lumpkin. His address
w’as made at 3 o’clock p. m. in Mil- :
ledgeville at the Presbyterian I
church. It is the plan of the D. A. i
R. to seal op in the old cornerstone i
in a new copper box, historic data i
ar.d to place in it the names of de- J
scendants of these old Oglethorpe
students, who have contributed to
wards the erection of the marker. .
