These services were started with the liirth of the institution, and have continued without intcrmittiMt until the present time. They were originat ed by a popular member of the fac ulty, the first meetings being held in his class room. When 1 building was erected, meeting wan changed to building.

The main building, a brick struc ture four stories high was erected in 1872 and was.reedy for use when the fall term opened. This one build ing furnished floor space-for-offices arid class, rooms which now is fur nished by four buildings: 7he Main Building, the. Chapel Building, Wiggs Science Hall and the Library. The Old Brick Hall—now known aa Penfield Hall—is the second child in the family. It was built only a few yean later and was the dor-, mitory and chapel building in one It stands on the block to the rear of the Main Building and is used as a dormitory. Aa the university grew, the build ings increased in numbers. Wiggs Science Hall is a very old building and it is in it that the Pre-medical students take their initial practices in using saws and knives.

By Linton M Collins 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. First* PrssiJ—t . Among tho follsge pmifiMts whose# pictures we farm, -at*, first, Dr. Bft- lington M. Banders, the dent bT‘Meft¥r old Penfield, when manual labor the feature of college life. He be gan with two-log cabins, thirty-nine students and a farm- He was pres ident of the institution, Farmer, preacher, and general manager. He managed the theological school so well, that at his own instigation, it was elevated into Mercer University. For twenty-five years he was a shin ing leader whom the people followed with loyal love. Other presidents whose pictures are hanging ° n the - ^ alls are: Dr- James L. Dagg, who was a noted the ologian, college teaqjier, author and writer of great ability; Dr. Holcombe Tucker, noted writer and ^orator. loVed because of'his sincerity and humU.ity, and respected because o.» his sternness find fearlessness- under whose direction the college was moved from Penfield to Macon, he being one of the chief promoters of the .removal; Dr. G, A. Nunnally. stal wart character. pulpit orator and ed ucator, under whose administration 'he present chapel building was erected: Prof. P. D. Pollock, under whose able administration the present gymna^um.^jScience Hall and Y- If- C. A. were erected, and the endow ment was greatly increased, and Mer cer raised to the standards of ,an A 1 college. Loved Mercer Of those who loved Mercer and were distinguished and unawaring friends, there is none who can come UNIVERSITY FORMING NOW ON BIG SCALE MR. RURNE1T TO USE ALL AVAIL ABLE SPACE. ■» ■ Although Mercer is not a school the preparation of the clodhopper, there is em agricultural, aspect’, to corns of the activities on the campus, under he direction of J. Henry Bur nett, business manager of nie university. . ■ cant space on Mercer campus is to be Mr. Burnett says that every v'a- utilized to the best advantage. 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 nuppiy the nuts used for the sundaes' served iq the dining hall, and some 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 kept there. These hegs ary ted the garbage from the univeraitx kitchen and therefore: twetet i All the milk used in the dining hall comes from “Mercer’s-own” cows . that are kept on the, campus. There is a veritable flower gar den near one of the dormitories, where a large variety of flowers are grown. Rose bushes have .been put out in many places and flower be<fa bedeck the campus here end there. .Seven men are tending the various truck farms of the university and receive a share of the. products in return for their labor- • So you can see that Mercer .has begun to fight against the high cost of food through the never ceasing activities of Mr. Burnett. who were masters ii). their field. They are Dr. J. E. Willet, scientist and, astronomist of national reputation- 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 among the students because of his personality. Professor Steed was tbe father of the late Profssor Carl Steed, one of Mercer’s most distin guished professors. It has been ssid by a Mercer alumnus who is acquaint- t-d with Ur. Montague, that he and Professor Steed were of the same type. A few. of Georgia’s prominent min isters, all of whom were Mercer alum ni. are also in the chapel. They are before Dr. Lansing' Burrows, who p r -j J. Brantly, Rev. B. M- Calla- >vas for a long time-president of the ^. a y t and R ev J. H Kilpatrick- Board of Trustees.
