Elder v. Trustees of Atlanta University

Grice, Justice.

The vacant lot sought to be taxed is in close proximity to the main buildings of the college, being separated therefrom by a street. It is used by the students .of the college as a field for playing games. It also appears that tract 7 remains vacant, except that throughout the period involved in this suit it was used, and is now being used, by the students of the University as an athletic or playing field.
