The G Book is the official traditions handbook for University of Georgia students. Your Student Alumni Association (SAA) has the motto —“Where Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation meet Pride, Loyalty, and Tradition.” SAA is the gatekeeper for UGA traditions, and it invites all UGA students to participate in the G Book experience. To make it applicable to the student experience today, students wrote and crafted your Class of 2018 edition of the G Book. From 1915 through the late 1950s, the G Book existed as a guide to students about all things Georgia. Men were actually required to carry the book in their front left pocket. Much smaller then, the pages were filled with rules and regulations by which all university students had to abide. It also served as the main book for cheers and songs that established Georgia pride. More than 50 years later, the G Book is back! Revived by the Student Alumni Council (SAC) in 2009, this is the fifth edition of the new G Book. The G Book aims to connect you with the traditions and points of pride of the University of Georgia. These pages are designed to capture your memories as a Dawg. Take pictures, fill the pages, and create a living testament of your time spent at UGA. This book will introduce you to the history, traditions, and spirit that graduates of UGA should understand and carry with them. As the late Larry Munson so aptly put it, “There is no tradition more worthy of envy, no institution worthy of such loyalty as the University of Georgia.” As you embark on your collegiate journey, try to experience all aspects of the campus and the community. Learn as much as you can about yourself by stepping outside your comfort zone and trying something different. As our university continues to grow, new traditions are created all the time. From not walking under the Arch until graduation, to taking your picture on the Arch logo tile in the Tate Student Center—each tradition is unique and special to the Bulldog Nation. It’s up to the students to create them and keep them alive. 8 9 alumni.uga.edu The G Book Class of 2018 GREETINGS FROM THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TRADITION KEEPER Welcome to UGA!

Soles August 2018 Accepted by: Robert C. Knoeppel, Committee Chair D. Matthew Boyer Michael Godfrey Mindy Spearman ABSTRACT Intercollegiate athletics are an integral part of colleges and universities in the United States and have been for decades. Large athletic facilities expenditures began in the interwar period, the period between the two World Wars, with widespread construction of on-campus stadiums. Currently, athletic facilities expenditures are experiencing a second nationwide spending spree that began around the turn of the century. This study considers the types of athletic facilities, motivations for those facilities, and financial models used to pay for those facilities at the University of Georgia. The study concentrates on facilities constructed solely or primarily for football during two chronological periods: the interwar period and the 2000-2017 period.

  • Athens Campus
    Athens Campus Athens Campus Introduction The University of Georgia is centered around the town of Athens, located approximately 60 miles northeast of the capital of Atlanta, Georgia. The University was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly on January 25, 1785, as the first state-chartered and supported college in the United States. The campus began to take physical form after a 633-acre parcel of land was donated for this purpose in 1801. The university’s first building—Franklin College, now Old College—was completed in 1806. Initially a liberal-arts focused college, University of Georgia remained modest in size and grew slowly during the Figure 48. Emblem of the antebellum years of the nineteenth century. In 1862, passage of the Morrill Act University of Georgia. by Congress would eventually lead to dramatic changes in the focus, curriculum, and educational opportunities afforded at the University of Georgia. The Morrill Act authorized the establishment of a system of land grant colleges, which supported, among other initiatives, agricultural education within the United States. The University of Georgia began to receive federal funds as a land grant college in 1872 and to offer instruction in agriculture and mechanical arts. The role of agricultural education and research has continued to grow ever since, and is now supported by experiment stations, 4-H centers, and marine institutes located throughout the state. The Athens campus forms the heart of the University of Georgia’s educational program. The university is composed of seventeen colleges and schools, some of which include auxiliary divisions that offer teaching, research, and service activities.
