of distinction and to dispense the hospitality of the University. This his own  ll     "
private income enabled him to do on a scale commensurate with the dignity of     q A
the ofhce which he held. Though not a professional scholar, he was a well     ‘
educated man, his executive abilities were of a high order. The charm and ifi,   , -
Qrace of his manner and the dignity of his bearing made friends for himself     ’ l
and the educational interest which he represented. An interchange of class   l   L =]
instruction in the College of Arts and the College of Agriculture, promoted   tf . _   
economy and efficiency by obviating the duplication of professorship for _‘    E12} ? V, {

The general breakdown of institutions for higher education in the South if     ‘ 1
in consequence of the war brought many students from Missouri, Texas, ,2 Q  ifgl i,   {
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North and South T   V    
Carolina, and also from the neighboring States of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. _ _1      
The opening of the University in the autumn of 1866, although the College    ,   l
of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts did not open till October of the ,    l
following year, brought hundreds of students. As a rule they were young men   ;»`· i} l;l` 2
of maturity, whose education had been interrupted four years before. Some of R;       ‘
them had seen military service. Their means were small and their scholarship i` i.     I
meager, but they came to work in the class room, in the shop and on the ample _j·i      ,
G farm. Remunerative employment, even beyond the resources of the College of ji       
Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, was furnished to large numbers. Football, , ;¢   .;
g. baseball, dances and banquets would have seemed to the hardy, ambitious ,t~   pi? . `
but impecunious matriculates of those days sadly out of place and a criminal gjgfgw   "i. .
er- waste of time and of money. They found ample recreation and amusement     .
coupled with instruction in military training, in manual labor and in the   ,
exercises of the literary societies. The hardihood, mental and physical vigor_ T};;j,1_ ;·," €qz,g f 
and the solid and substantial acquisitions of the student of those early years   li ,}  `
have never been surpassed in the subsequent history of College or University.    -·
