 JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS. MISS., CHAIRMAN

J. M. BURLEW. CLERK

Hmitvh Stan’s Swan)

Washington, D. 0.
November 25, 1919.

Miss Laura Clay,
Lexington, Ky.

Dear Miss Clay:

I want to add my hearty endorsement to the movement
now under way to make Sewanee a greater factor than ever in the
Southern field of education.

The fact that it is a church school and teaches a belief
in the justice and mercy of God and in that divine philosophy of
God-Fatherhood and Man—Brotherhood which Christ attempted to in—
still into the hearts of all of us, is an additional reason at this
particular moment why it ought to be supported and why its influ—
ence ought to be extended.

The world is still shuddering at the demonstration which
Germany has made of "Scientific Civilization" — Godless and Christ—
less - attempting to substitute for the religion of Jesus of Naza-
reth, a sort of medieval Woden and Thor worship, intermingled with
a materialistic science based upon the false idea that the "Surviv-
al of the fittest" amongst human beings is analogous to the "Surviv-
al of the fittest" amongst brutes; and this ought to make us all
think of the importance of keeping up sOme connection between God
and man in the education of succeeding generations.

The doctrine of the survival of the fittest does apply to
man just as it does to tigers, and snakes, and foxes; but the dif—
ference is that the fittest amongst tigers is the most tigerish,
the fittest amongst serpents is the most poisonous, and the fittest
amongst foxes is the most cunning. The fittest amongst human be-
ings ought to be the most humane.

Nor must we forget that the very name "University of the

South" suggests the idea that "the South" faces a new era and has
an important part to play in the work of social reorganization. l,
for one, have never known any "New South"; I know only the same Old
South, and I want its leaders to be like the traditional leaders of
the South always have been — men of high ideals, of honest purpose,
of noble instincts, of-gentlemanly conduct, even though they were
not always men of clear insight into the future of the world.

An alumnus of the University of the South myself, although
I spent a very short time there, I earnestly bespeak for her, for
her work, and for her mission your full consideration and your help.

I am, with expression of regard,

Very truly yours,
_ v/ ’7; ,

Sir,
Your letter of Dee.9th is at hand.
I am writing this letter in plac~ of coming or appointing a represent=

The ling? between my farm and the écanlon ané Quieinberry farm: is
the exact mifidle of the 9_ellow Ford Creek. For evident reasons the
flivision fehees are not on the @ivision lines.

I wouli like to say that from ion experience of the effect of floods

fir.J0nes formerly, anfl Hrs.ruisinberry have arranged the fences so as to
ooet the least for watergatea and to repair washings, At present, all the

fence between me and the Quisenherry farm belongs to me; as E undetoow

to keep up the fence in payment of the right to fence the water holee on
my side. of course, this arrangement is terminable at the wish of either
party; but when 1 s terminated one half of that part of the fenee will”
have to he ynifl to me. This may not he the part of what you have bought;
but 3 thought it might interest you to help you to understand the posi-
the fencing. -
fence between the_3oanlon farm and me is éivided between us; and :
tater gates are kept up in partnership, In Mr.Jonee' time the

middle of the creek all along. I filink on looking over the ground

 Richmond, Kentucky, Dec. 29, 1919

Miss Laura Clay,
Lexington, Kentucky.

Dear Miss Cley:~

A crisis confronts our Hormel School and this
crisis is due to the omission of Richmond, Ky., to provide
reasonably for the boarding and rooming of more sorrel Students.
Even some of the members of the faculty hsVe found it imrossbble
to rent or even buy suitable homes, at a fair or even any price
in Richmond, Kentucky.

A serious crisis also confronts Richmond itself.
Many good citizens who have accumulated enough to live on in
ease aha comfort in their old age or who desire to educate their
children, have found it intossible to buy homes in Richmond, Ky.,
or to secure even good building lots at a reasonable figure.

The future business and educational ingresamcnts"are
flf‘imnortence fin thegrowth of Richmond, our county seat, aafibare

inVOlved in these crises. Similar crises confront all the citiesvvv
and towns in Kentucky, and of every state in the union4mbut other
places like Georgetown, Winchester, Frankfort and Lexington'and
elsewhere are wisely attempting to solve the problem for their

own good, but Richmond is select and snoring loudly.

For some unknown reason, those of narrow vision and
even of no vision at all for the future, have always had too much
weight in Richmond, Kentucky, and have reatrded its growth ands
smothered its improvements. The citizens out of the corporate
limits are more progressive business people and far ahead of those
Within the lieits of the city.

It seems to me that it would be wise for a few of the
leading citizens of the County and of the City of Richnohi to got
together and consider conditions with a view of their early solu—
tion in a broad patriotic business way.

After having consulted with a few of our progressive
citizens, I, as a citizen invite you to attend a meetin of the
leading citizens of Richmond and Madison County, Kentucky, to be
held at the Elks Lodge Room in Richmond, Ky., on Jan. 1, 1980,
meeting to begin at 1:30 p. m.

I have no plans or scheme to submit, but I know con-
ditions are serious. Urging you to be present and hoping you will
find it convenient to do 8Qk I am,

Yours respectfully
