and keep alive and burning the spirit of the University. Subsequent gifts of the alumni and friends of the institution have swelled this sum to larger figures and the magnifieent building, when eomplcted. will cost, not fifty thousand dollars, but more than double that amount. When the plan for the enlargement of the Campus was evolved, the alumni eame forward generously with their contributions, and. aided by the City of Athens and other friends, have given to tin 1 Diversity a campus of nearly one thousand acres, a princely domain upon which in the future millions of dollars will be spent in erecting a plant, the superior of which w.ill not la found in the United States. For the improvement of athletics, the alumni have contributed nearly all the money with which the present magnificent ball grounds were secured. For the improvement of scholarship they have offered handsome prizes as incentives to closer and more effective study. For the assistance of worthy young men in their efforts to secure an education they have offered scholarships. For providing la tter facilities for the students they have added hooks to tin library and equipment to the departments. It is not difficult now to enlist their aid. for they arc alive with enthusiasm and realize the good that is being done in every field of activity by the University. The aroused interest of the alumni is making itself felt in state legislation, not as a lobby, but as a convincing force that is moulding public opinion. Largely through their efforts the state has been brought to see tin immense advantages flowing from ample and adequate appropriations, and the support of the institution by the state is more liberal than it has ever been. The University of Georgia, with all its glorious record, does not consist of historic old buildings or magnificent new structures; does not consist of library or laboratory or any other material equipment ; does not consist of endowment funds or financial balance sheets. The alumni, the men who are turned out as the product of the institution, the lives they live, the contributions of a lasting kind they make to civilization—these constitute the University, and in them Georgia is richer far than the famed mines of Golconda or the fabled treasures of all the ages.
