16 THE FACULTY MEETING.
15
76
g5 The Faculty of the Greenville
51 Street Set-back College met Satur29
day night to hear the inaugural ad91
dress of the President and to pass on
11 papers of students. '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.

Abbeville county gave nearly onethird
of the $100 I asked for last
week. Now, if only seven democrat#
of the county will contribute
personally or raise among their
friends as dome have done, the
sum of $10.00 each, the trick will
be turned and we will have that $100
from Abbeville.
By the way, there are several good
democrats of Abbeville county who
have not been kind enough to ac'
knowledge the receipt of my letter
of the 18th of December. I am satisfied
that it has been an oversight
on their part during the rush of
the holiday season, and I hope that
1 will hear from them during the
1 coming week, enclosing their contributions.
Let's raise this fond this week
and be done with it.
