Transcript	Feb. 16th, 1903. The regular meeting of the Faculty on Feb. 9th was postponed until February 16th on account of important engagements requiring the presence of several members elsewhere. On Feb. 16th the following members were absent: Mr. Smith, Mr. Pearson, Mr. Forney, Mr. Brockman (excused on account of sickness.) The minutes of the last meeting were read and after correction were approved. Mrs. Sharpe read the resolutions prepared by the committee in memory of Dr. J. L. M. Curry. It was moved and carried that the report of the committee be adopted and that the resolutions be spread upon our minutes and that copies of them be sent to the public press. See pages 193-194. The following petitions were then acted upon: Miss Ada Parsons asked to double on English. Miss Annie Tomlinson “ “ “ “ “. Miss Nelle Lassiter “ “ “ “ “. Miss Lily Mast “ “ “ “ “. These young women were allowed to take Freshman and Sub-Freshman English upon the recommendations of the department concerned. Miss Bertie Harris who had received 6 on 3rd year German and 5 on Practice School work asked to be allowed to make up her work continuing a member of the Senior Class. It was not granted as nor motion was made for suspending the regulation involved. Miss Ida Hawkins who has twenty-four periods of work and who must remove a failure on the last half of Senior Latin asked to discontinue Jr. Elocution and Jr. History and pass them by examination written a month in order that she might add Senior Latin to her program. It was moved and seconded that Miss Hawkins be allowed to take 27 periods of work. The vote being taken and a division being called for showed 8 aye 9 no. Motion was lost. It was moved and carried that Miss Hawkins’ request be not granted. It was moved and carried that the matter of what part the graduate students should take in the Commencement exercises be referred to a committee with power to act. The President appointed those members of the Faculty who teach the Degree classes members of the committee and called them to meet in the President'; s Office Tuesday Evening Feb.17th. Adjournment, Laura H. Coit, Secretary. In Memoriam In the death of Hon. J. L. M. Curry, educator, author, statesman, and diplomat the nation loses one of the most eminently useful men of modern times. Honored by his native state, by the Southern Confederacy, and by the nation, all of which he so ably served, his long life, closely approximating the limit of four score years, was one of almost continuous public services. For more than half a century he has been a commanding figure in our state and national life. During this time no official title has been conferred upon him which he has not adorned, no trust committed to him which he has not held sacred, no service assigned him which he has not well and faithfully performed. At home and abroad his name is endeared to thousands, and thousands yet unborn shall rise to call him blessed. Though wide his field of service and numerous the distinctions won in it-it is as Agent of the Peabody fund that the name and mission of Dr. Curry are most closely associated. In this capacity his labors form us small part of the history of education in the South. In him there was given to the South at a sorely critical period a friend and leader in whom she safely trusted. By financial aid wisely given, by fitly spoken words of wisdom, and, above all by his intelligent sympathy and the gracious inspiration of his presencehe instilled into the hearts of a people seated amid the ruins of war and overshadowed by a threatening cloud of illiteracy, a spirit of hope and enthusiasm the results of which are now being seen and felt in the great intellectual awakening in the Southern States. As members of the faculty of this College the death of Dr. Curry brings to us a keen sense of personal loss. We recognize that to his earnest labors, to his eloquence, to the financial aid annually received through him and, above all, to the strong faith he had in this institution, much of the success of the college is due. His work and worth were to us immeasurable and the words of this memorial can but feebly express our sense of loss when called upon to record the death of one so eminently good and wise and great. Com. Mary Settle Sharpe Laura H. Coit W. C. Smith
