Excerpt from Address by Hon. Joseph R. Lamar of Augusta, Georgia: Delivered on Memorial Day, April, 1902, at Athens, Georgia The address herewith published was delivered at Athens, Georgia, in April of the present year, 1902. The day was one set apart in memory of the soldiers of the Confederacy. The occasion was a memorial service held under the auspices of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and the speaker was a man who bears a name distinguished in the annals of the South and of the Nation, who is also himself eminent at the bar of his State, - Hon. Joseph R. Lamar, of Augusta, Georgia. It so happened that there were present at Athens a considerable number of people from other States who were spending several days attending the Conference on Southern Education, and among these were several scores of people from the Northern States. The Educational Conference adjourned in recognition of Memorial Day, and many of its members attended the services and heard Mr. Lamar's address.

Excerpt from Address Delivered at the University Chapel, Georgia Day, February 12, 1914: Georgia: The Empire State of the South I am never so happy as when talking to Georgia boys and girls about Georgia, for I am a Georgian from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet - Georgia - born and Georgia-bred of parents Georgia-born and bred - and I love The Old Red Hills of Georgia as dearly as Henry R. Jackson who wrote so beautifully of them. We truly have a state of which we may rightly boast, and boasting is commendable, provided we do not claim what justly belongs to another.

Excerpt from History of Georgia I have kept constantly in View the necessity of writing a usable book. The manuscript was read and criticised by a number of public school and normal school teachers of the state, and I am led to hope from their opinions that a text constructed along the above lines will prove acceptable to teachers and pupils.

Excerpt from Address of State Historian of Georgia, Hon. Lucian Lamar Knight, in the State Capitol November 25th, 1916 On the dome of this capitol, emblematic of Georgia's gov erning genius, stands the statue of a woman. Lifted above the hurrying crowds which throng our streets, that sym bolie figure maintains its serene poise in the chastened silence of a heavenly ether. To the wise and to the simple, to the erudite scholar and to the unlettered rustic, it speaks a message which all interpret alike - namely this: that the hand which trains the childhood of our state lifts its torch of liberty aloft and that she who rocks the cradle rules the commonwealth.
