Come -Convene - anJ Cefetrale al Saradola By ALICE HERSEY WICK, Permanent Con-vention Chairman and Past National President The more I hear of Sarasota and that part of Florida, which is new to me, the more excited I become at our plans for next June. Beautiful scenery, beaches, fine hotel accommodations­ all were to be expected, and it sounds like a unique community, with some really world fa­ mous attractions. The Ringling Museum of Art, Circus Hall of Fame, Jungle Gardens, Floridaland and many more musical and theatrical offerings, should all be worth seeing. Southern hospitality, whether Florida, Ala­ bama, Georgia, or North Carolina style, is also famous, and we can anticipate more than the usual from our hostess chapters from those four states. We are adding a full day to convention this time, hoping that we can thereby accomplish more in the line of thoughtful, intelligent deci­ sions without so many night meetings, or such jam-packed days. This period in our history­ American, college and sorority-is a crucial one, and we need to give our best thoughts to our own particular jobs and responsibilities. I keep saying that for every right there is a re- , sponsibility-and keep wishing that people would start demanding their responsibilities. Here is a very condensed version of the con­ vention program, enough I hope to whet your appetite and make you decide NOW to come join us: Alice Hersey Wick Thursday, June 18 . -WHO KNOWS about Conventions Registration all day; Informal Welcome Dmner with Sarasota-Bradenton and St. Petersburg Alum­ nre as hostesses.

  • 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.

A member of the Georgia State House, the Continental Congress and the U.S. Senate, Baldwin was a dedicated public servant and one of only two Georgia delegates to sign the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Baldwin's vision to make a quality post-secondary education affordable to the citizens of Georgia has impacted the growth and prosperity of the state in ways few could have imagined two centuries ago. The University of Georgia dedicated this statue of Abraham Baldwin in the fall of 2011. The statue is located on the university's North Campus in front of Old College.

Robert Nix, Professor of Art David Crenshaw Barrow, the twelfth chancell or of the University of Georgia, was elected to office in 1906 after a short term as acting chancellor following the death of Wa lter Barnard Hill. Chancellor Barrow was a university graduate (BS, 1874), a faculty member in Mathematics and in Engineering, served as Department Head of Engineering and of Mathematics, and was Dean of the Franklin Coll ege of Arts and Sciences at the time of his election as chancellor. Raised in Athens, the great-grandson, grandson, and son of University Trustees, Chancell or Barrow establ ished a relationship with the university that spanned more than half a century. A popular chancellor, Barrow set out to implement the ambitious plans of his predecessor and accomplished much more. During his nineteen years in office, the foundations for the Colleges of Agriculture, Forest Resources, Home Economics, Education, Business Administration, Journalism, and the Graduate School were established; new curricular and degree programs resulted in significant enrollment increases; the facu lty was expanded dramatically; nine major campus buildings were completed; and major increases in financial support were achieved. In addition, Chancellor Barrow saw the university through World War I, the admission of women to the university, growing concern over the ro le of intercollegiate athletics (including the exuberance of alumni and students at athletic events, the onset of the Georgia Tech riva lry, and questionable admission requirements for athletes), and the emergence of the undergraduate student as a force in the life of the university.

Russell, courtesy of W. Robert Nix, Curator, Photographic Archives, Department of Art, The University of Georgia. Created by Abbott Pattison, a Chicago sculptor serving as a visiting artist under a Rockefeller Grant, the two ton welded steel Iron Horse became an instant campus conversation piece when it was placed in the quadrangle of the Reed Residence Hall Complex in May 1954. It has since become the leading legend in modern University of Georgia folklore, if not the most noted in the history of the institution. By all accounts, the Iron Horse was not well received at the time by its public. Some would say it was the style of the sculpture itself, considered avant garde at the time, that caused the controversy, while others would argue that the timing and location of the Iron Horse on campus created the student uproar. In any event, the Iron Horse was quickly and quietly removed from campus and secretly stored for safekeeping. five years later, Jack Curtis, a former student, and L. C. Curtis, his father and university faculty member, convinced university officials that a pasture on their family farm in Scull Shoals, Georgia Oust off State Highway 15, north of Greensboro, Georgia) would make an ideal home for the Iron Horse. VVhile there have been several attempts to return the Iron Horse to the campus, the most serious in 1990 when the University Council formally requested President Knapp to consider the possibility, it has been decided that the Iron Horse will remain pastured on the Curtis farm.
