 Hknkv Ci.av White 1848-1927 ' P HIr. passing of Henry Clav White, for fifty-five years a member of the faculty f the Univer-1 sitv of Georgia. removed the last link connecting the days of the reestablishment of the University after the Civil War with those of the present. Dr. White, after being graduated from the University of Virginia, came to Georgia in 1872. and had been continuously engaged in teaching chemistry at the University until a few days Itcfore his death in Athens. November 31. 1927. Generous recognition of Dr. While's talents had come to him during his long life, filled with years and honors. His scientific associates recognized the value of his researches in chemistry and great universities over the country honored themselves and him by conferring degrees uj on him. In our own state lie served for a number of years as State Chemist, and l ecamc President of the Association of Official Chemists of America. As President of the College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts he held firmly to his conviction that education, not mere training, is the object of a college, and that instruction in technical subjects solely is not the pur|H se of an institution of higher learning. It was during his association with the College of Agriculture that he rendered his most invaluable service to the University, the appropriations from the federal government under the Morrill land grant act. for a numlier of years the chief support of the institution. being made (and later increased) chiefly through his unsparing labors. When official duties were laid aside. Dr. White was in truth the embodiment of the phrase, “a gentleman and a scholar. During the life of his charming wife their home was a center of culture and refinement. The many students who catre under his tutelage he knew, and remcm-liercd: his circle of friends and acquaintances was probably the most numerous in the state. They have lost a gentleman whose courtliness of manner and charm of personality seemed an anachronism in these rushing days. The University, and the State, mourn the death of a staunch friend, a powerful advocate, a devoted servant.

L'.WIO C. II ARROW Chancellor Emeritus 44 r TXCLE DAN E BARROW, for nineteen years Chancellor of the University of Georgia, was born Octol cr 12. 1852. in Oglcthorjjc county. Having grown up amid the trying Re-construction days in Georgia, he became a member of one of the first classes to enter the University after its reojiening following the Civil War. and received the bachelor of science degree in 1874. His election as chancellor in 1906 came as a natural recognition of those qualities which had been responsible for his steady advancement since he liccanic adjunct professor of mathematics in 1878. In June, 1925. the Board of Trustees of the University regretfully accepted his resignation. made l ccausc of advancing age. and elected him Chancellor Emeritus. The years of his administration of the University, numbering nearly two decades, were marked by no blare of trumpets. A quiet man. Chancellor Barrow conducted the affairs of this institution smoothly and efficiently. That achievement to which lie looks back with particular pride is the acquisition of land for the University, a course of action dictated by a far-sighted policy the wisdom of which has been justified by the years. In the time to come it will l c realized even more fully that the consolidation and expansion of land-holdings which lie fostered put all in readiness for the great university wh:ch is now in process of growth. The College of Arts and Sciences. Franklin College, which had almost alone constituted the University of Georgia, was complemented during his regime by the addition of other schools which served to make Georgia a real university. The Medical College at Augusta became an integral part of the University. The State College of Agriculture, the Graduate School, the Schools of Education, of Commerce, and of Journalism, were added. Reflecting the expansion in the concept of the institution, the enrollment increased during this time from four hundred students to sixteen hundred. • The simple l cauty of Chancellor Barrow’s life, one of unaffected piety and abiding trust, lias influenced for many years the lives of Georgia students, and of all others with whom he comes in contact. It is the ho| c of all who know him that lie may lie spared for many more years of good works. rage Ttrt t»
