College presidents, statesmen, edu
cators and meti prominent in the af
fairs of the chtirch for many genera
tions look down from the somber
walls of Mercer chapel on modern
Mercerians.
Some of these "portraits, painted
by famous America nand European
artists, have been there since= the
early days of. the University. These
great personages have witnessed
many historic t scenes. Xhey have
heard many eloquent speeches from
both plaform and pew; they have
seen Mercer transform men and go, to
heights of which their fathers never
even dreamed. Had they the power
of speech they might stir our hearts
with the stories they could relate.
Jesse Mercer's portrait' is the only
life size picture there. It hangs on the
back of the platform!^. No .figure
stnds out more promiriently in Geor
gia Baptist history than that of Jesse
Mercer. It was he who was largely
responsible for the organization • of
the Gerogia Baptist Convention. It
was through his able counsel and lib
eral contributions that Mercer was
established. Hie gifts amounted to
over four thousand dollara.lt is said
that never has the death of any in;
drvvidual, before or since, called
forth such art expression of deej. and
universal grief in all the Bwpust
churches of Georgia, as did his, for it
marked the terminus of the life of
one of the greatest preachers, pro
phets. and philanthropists in the
state’s history.

well, that at his own instigation, it

For twenty-five years he was a shin

Already the many truck patches
on the campus are supplying a large
part of the vegetables used in the
dining hall. Cabbage, lettuce, onions,
and potatoes are some of the pro
ducts of Mercer’s miniature farms.
Oats and rye are grown on the
larger places-
The many colored blossoms alt
over the campus are evidence that .
the fruit trees are not being neglect-.
ed. Many- peach and pear trees can
be seen, arid numerous pomegran
ates everywhere adorn the campus.
Fig Trees -Too
About twenty large pecan trees

200 fig trees supply the dry figs so
often on the menu.
. AH of these trees are well pruned
and receive the best of atttention.
Mercer also has a paradise for
swine, about one mile from the cam
pus, where the university owns a
tract of land.* Several acres are set
aside for hog raising. There fa a plen
ty of spring water and an abundance
of shade for the soaw forty hogs

All the milk used in the dining

There is a veritable flower gar

where a large variety of flowers are
grown. Rose bushes have .been put

For fifteen or -twenty years he was
the only teacher in Georgia who was
able to perform a chemical analysis.
Tbe other one was E. A. Steed, a-
great latin teacher, and a fove.ite

personality. Professor Steed was tbe
