'When the Pre3i41 wearing the gown, opened the door 88 to the main auditorium, he found 41 that the former President, Furni25 ture Kerr, had gotten in at a window 59 and was already in the President's 44 chair, wearing an old bathrobe. He insisted o*n calling liie meeting to V order, saying that the new Presi V dent should be escorted op to tae V President's rostrum by at least two V professors, introduced to him, and , V that he should then introduce the new President to the: Other members ry of the faculty assembled. He stated ,er that he had written to the President >n- of the Georgia State Senate and chat is the way things are managed en on all state occasions and he ince sisted that all the formulae of such ,er occasions be gone through with. He st. also stated that he had gone to considerable trouble to write a speech ne of introduction, which was now in Igg his system, and he intended to get it out before he gave up the chair or he would contest matters in the ,.a courts^ having already employed his lawyer. r On motion of. Prof. McMillan it Lc~ was decided, after some debate, that former President Kerr carry el out the program on condition that , no member was required to s{ay in n<* the meeting and hear him speak. n? After having cleared up his throat aa several times, wiped his mouth with ^ a new silk handkerchief, the former ?n President advanced to the front of nf the rostrum, and delivered himself Qd thusly: v , . Friends, Romans, Countrymen and Fellow Gladiators:?It is fitting that lta as I lay aside the regalia of Presi dent of this institution, I should ie? be succeeded by my uncle, President 04"?1' 4-Vo mnof ni-nminpnt, TT1 PTYlVlfir J O UOl IV j UIll/ iUVBV ?? _ _ S of our family, except uncle Bill and 01 cousin Percy, who walks with a , stick, and lives in New Jersey. Beea ing in the furniture business and ? the buggy business with uncle Jim, 10 I have had a grekt opportunity to 17 judge of his enticing qualities. And my salary not having been fixed for ?e the next year, and uncle Jim having !K" a strong vote in fixing it, it gives er me pleasure to say that uncle Jim is the best fitted man for the presiw~ dency of this institution, next to ier myself of course, upon whom, your choice could have lit. ilr I hope and believe that he will ,e" keep up the standard of this institu* . tion as I have done in the past. We vT have turned down a great many pu!rt pils who wished to enter our gates, because they were not prepared to ?8' enter. I hear of some now who do ne not believe in the little card lead , who want to enter the freshman Lrs class, but they are not ready for the primary department. I I know that he will have some difficutly in canying on this college in the way I have done, but turkey Pa covers a multitude of sins, and I ,ne would advise the new President as soon as he can get the proper in^ gredients to give a large and powfr erful turkey supper. He should be very select in extending invitations, however, as by inviting too many ,t? untrained men to eat with him, he will lower the dignity of the office. lds Of course all former officers of this college consider themselves as being ia3 already invited, which being the rer case, I will be there. nE It, therefore, is my pleasure to of vacate the seat of honor in this colale lege in favor of the new President, ee> who'will be escorted to the stand by or" Prof. McMillan and Prof. Bradley. . a The new President having beer escorted to the speaker's stand and sak duly introduced, took a drink ol water, reached in his pocket and >jk After feeling around for the spqeclby fomid he did not have his speech, 'ay in "all pockets, he advised the faculnts ty that he had left his notes in his other coat pocket and that he could rs" not speak without them as he had forgotten the very first word. He ed- asked time to go and get the speech but the members of the facultj al- would not agree that the chaii me should be vacant for that length oi led time, with Prof? Kerr in the hall So after some discussion it was de ids cided to give the President until the ick next meeting to get his speech ir nand, rroi. mcjmiian announcing iel- that he would make a speech him i a self at. that time if the President was <ou not ready for action.
