t hi- federal loan wan the first time
in nany yearn that the Georgia
gai list Convention turned down a
nmendation by the Conven-
tior i Executive Committee.
1 ie Executive Committee in un-
an i nualy approving the request,
the following reasons:
1 A new science center is great
ly i eded in order for Mercer Uni-
ve r ly to continue to render effec
tive ervice in the science field, and
to laintain a position of credit
anv 'g the liberal arts colleges of
the rea.

ten ollars per quarter increase in
stui nt fees.
3 1'he Georgia Baptist Conven
tion ias approved loans previously
fror. the Housing and Home Fi-
nan * Agency of the United States
to < orgia Baptist colleges and in-
•titi ions. The following institu
tion have procured loans from the
agei y: Baptist Village, Norman
Coll ue. Mercer University, Truitt-
Mc< mnell College, Tift College,
Sho.ier College, and the Executive
Con nittee for the construction of
a dormitory for the Georgia Baptist
Hospital School of Nursing.
The Board of Trustees of Mer
cer University in authorizing the
President to seek the loan also
directed that a “science fee" not
to exceed $10 per academic quarter
per student be levied to retire the
principal and interest of the loan
William T. Haywood, business
manager of Mercer University, told
a group of Mercer alumni at a
luncheon shortly after the Con
vention rejected the request for a
federal loan that the cost of fi
naming a commercial loan would
require a “science fee” of no less
than $30 |>er academic quarter |>er
student. He added that “a com
mercial loan would have to be made
for s period not to exceed ten years,
and at a much higher interest rate."
President Harris told the Con
vention Tuesday afternoon that
Mercer would of course go ahead.
He said that he believes, however,
that the time has come for the
state Convention to give itself to a
speci d study of what the Conven
tion ■ x|x*cts of its colleges and how
it exoects them to carry out such
ex|Ms tations."
