ATLANTA UNIVERSITY in Georgia, under the temporary presidency of Prof.
Francis, who was also college preacher and pastor, has moved on in its

the Trustees, Prof. Bumstead was elected President for the ensuing
year, and Prof. Chase, in view of a removal to New Mexico, resigned

The recipient of a special gift, it was enabled to complete a new
industrial building, in which has begun a course of industrial

and were not the institution so remote, some prophetic giver would see
the urgency and the strategy of such a gift, and would make it. If,
