Book Description

Thomas G. Dyer’s definitive history of the University of Georgia celebrates the bicentennial of the school’s founding with a richly varied account of people and events. More than an institutional history, The University of Georgia is a contribution to the understanding of the course and development of higher education in the South. The Georgia legislature in January 1785 approved a charter establishing “a public seat of learning in this state.” For the next sixteen years the university’s trustees struggled to convert its endowment--forty thousand acres of land in the backwoods--into enough money to support a school. By 1801 the university had a president, a campus on the edge of Indian country, and a few students. Over the next two centuries the small liberal arts college that educated the sons of lawyers and planters grew into a major research university whose influence extends far beyond the boundaries of the state. The course of that growth has not always been smooth. This volume includes careful analyses of turning points in the university’s history: the Civil War and Reconstruction, the rise of land-grant colleges, the coming of intercollegiate athletics, the admission of women to undergraduate programs, the enrollment of thousands of World War II veterans, and desegregation. All are considered in the context of what was occurring elsewhere in the South and in the nation.

Book Description

Relates the early history of the University of Georgia from its founding in 1785 through the Reconstruction era. In this history of America's first chartered state university, the author recounts, among other things, how Athens was chosen as the university's location; how the state tried to close the university and refused to give it a fixed allowance until long after the Civil War; the early rules and how students invariably broke them; the days when the Phi Kappa and Demosthenian literary societies ruled the campus; and the vast commencement crowds that overwhelmed Athens to feast on oratory and watermelons.

Book Description

Slavery and the University is the first edited collection of scholarly essays devoted solely to the histories and legacies of this subject on North American campuses and in their Atlantic contexts. Gathering together contributions from scholars, activists, and administrators, the volume combines two broad bodies of work: (1) historically based interdisciplinary research on the presence of slavery at higher education institutions in terms of the development of proslavery and antislavery thought and the use of slave labor; and (2) analysis on the ways in which the legacies of slavery in institutions of higher education continued in the post-Civil War era to the present day. The collection features broadly themed essays on issues of religion, economy, and the regional slave trade of the Caribbean. It also includes case studies of slavery's influence on specific institutions, such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Oberlin College, Emory University, and the University of Alabama. Though the roots of Slavery and the University stem from a 2011 conference at Emory University, the collection extends outward to incorporate recent findings. As such, it offers a roadmap to one of the most exciting developments in the field of U.S. slavery studies and to ways of thinking about racial diversity in the history and current practices of higher education.

Book Description

Excerpt from General Register of the Officers and Alumni, 1873-1904 This is the first General Register to be published by the University. It is intended to give a concise history of the person nel of the University, as to officers, faculty, and graduates, from the date of organization to July 1, 1904. The information has been obtained from many sources, but principally from the persons named in the volume, the records of the Secretary of the Board of Regents, the University catalogues, and the records of the Alumni Association. The officers and members of the Board of Regents have been arranged in order of appointment, or election; the officers of administration, according to the plan of the Annual Catalogue; and the officers of instruction, on the basis of seniority. The data concerning each officer is limited to his career in the Uni versity of Oregon. In the list of the Alumni appear the names of the graduates of the old Normal Course, abolished in 1884. By formal act of the Board of Regents in June 1890, the degree of B. S. Was con ferred on all graduates of the Normal Course. The English Course had but one graduate. The degrees of B. L. And B. S. D. Have been conferred only once (1897) in the history of the University. The B. L. Degree was conferred on three graduates of the class of 1897 for the completion of the four-year Literary Course. The B. S. D. Degree was given to six graduates of a short course in Scientific Didactics. The present volume contains the names of all graduates of the University, including the class of 1904.
