of this help was enhanced by the kindness with which it was rendered and by the sympathy and interest extended. Agnes Scott Institute. His largest and most conspicuous work of philanthropy was in connec- tion with the Agnes Scott Institute. From the first he cordially assented to the plan for a greait institution. This is precisely what all who knew him would have expected, for he was a broad man with a great heart and large ideas. He showed this by the kind of building he erected when as j-et the school was in its infancy. Before he had the plans drawn he went north and examined some of the leading institutions, and then put up a splendid building at a cost of $82,000. He contemplated the planting of an institution equal to the best in buildings, equipment and all educa- tional facilities. He entered earnestly into the plan to perpetuate the institution along the lines indicated above. He sought to make it per- manent, and was very desirous that it should continue under the manage- ment of men who would conduct it for the same end and in the same spirit. Such was the plan. It contemplated the establishment here, in the suburbs of Atlanta — the Gate City of the South — of a great tion. The foundations were laid in faith and prayer. Back of thf movement, and the inspiring motive in its entire development, h the glory of God in the higher Christian education of young wom( all Colonel Scott ' s connection with it there has not been the s suggestion of selfishness or self-glorification. Nothing was more to the man or the Christian. From beginning to end he was actu the broadest Christian philanthropy. For founding, maintaining and endowing the Institute Colom gave a large proportion of his fortune. He watched over and loste institution constantly with the utmost care, and was ever ready t an) ' sacrifice or to perform any service to advance its interest. It is most gratifying to those who loved him to know that teach students honor and cherish his memory. For nobility of characi life his equal is rarely found. It is to be hoped that the stude of Agnes Scott, in all the years to follow, will do honor to the n George W. Scott, nomcn clanun et vciierabile. F. H. G.
