1 78$ ---The University of Georgia ----22ndEdition---- ( The University of Georgia FACT BOOK 1990 The Fact Book 1990 Cover Abbott Pattison IRON HORSE Welded Steel 11'x14'x4' The University of Georgia Collection Photograph (c. 1960) by William P. 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. A second piece of Mr. Pattison's work, a marble sculpture entitled "Mother and Child," stands at the southwest corner of the Fine Arts Auditorium in recognition of Mr. Pattison's work while at the university. For many, the Iron Horse ranks only behind the Arch and the Bulldog as a University of Georgia symbol, depicting--depending on the viewer--anything from a biblical statement about the Iron Horse and its location, to images of the university's service mission, to the university's quest, in Don Quixote fashion, for excellence. One fact is clear: The Iron Horse has earned an honored spot in The University of Georgia history, a steadfast and unwavering icon for its university.

The Fact Book provides evidence of the University's progress toward excellence. As you look through the information in this edition, you should take pride in what has been accomplished at The University of Georgia as a result of efforts by the entire University community . The University of Georgia took another step toward preeminence in 1989-90 and I am grateful to everyone who contributed to our success. I look forward to continuing our efforts toward our objective of being one of the best public universities in the nation. Sincerely, Charles B. Knapp President CBK: jpj Enclosure Lustrat House • Athens, Georgia 30602 • (404) 542-1214 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The 1990's may be the most anticipated decade in the history of higher education, at least in terms of scholarly activity and attention directed at planning for the problems, opportunities, challenges, and issues which were envisioned to confront colleges and universities. For The University of Georgia, the decade opened with the highest enrollment in institutional history and with a cut in the state budget; with the university in its strongest, but some would argue its most precarious, position since its emergence as one of the nation's leading research institutions; and with new plans and strategies for moving the university even further into the forefront of regional, national, and international eminence. The University of Georgia Fact Book 1990 helps document where the university has been, where it is, and where it must go if it is to live up to its expectations for the 1990's. Like Fact Books before it, this 22nd edition serves not only as a chronicle of the university's accomplishments, but also as a tribute to the students, faculty, staff, and university friends who have contributed to the advancement of The University of Georgia. The information contained in Fact Book 1990 reflects the work of many people in the university community, and sincere appreciation is extended to those responsible for the noted accomplishments as well as those who helped record the facts. Special recognition must go Debbie Holliday for her tireless efforts in producing fi nal copy; to Hazel Landers for her proofreading and editing; to Bill Kethley and Don Snell who managed once again to make computer software actually produce the desired hard copy; to Lemuella Logan and Deborah Shackelford for producing the computer graphics; to W. Robert Nix for his assistance with the cover; and to the University Printing Department staff for producing the final document. It is our hope that Fact Book 1990 will continue to serve the planning, review, and assessment needs of the university community in the new decade as well as it has in the past. Larry G.

THE ATLANTIC MIND: ZEPHANIAH KINGSLEY, SLAVERY, AND THE POLITICS OF RACE IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD by MARK J. FLESZAR Under the Direction of Dr. Jared Poley and Dr. H. Robert Baker ABSTRACT Enlightenment philosophers had long feared the effects of crisscrossing boundaries, both real and imagined. Such fears were based on what they considered a brutal ocean space frequented by protean shape-shifters with a dogma of ruthless exploitation and profit. This intellectual study outlines the formation and fragmentation of a fluctuating worldview as experienced through the circum-Atlantic life and travels of merchant, slaveowner, and slave trader Zephaniah Kingsley during the Era of Revolution. It argues that the process began from experiencing the costs of loyalty to the idea of the British Crown and was tempered by the pervasiveness of violence, mobility, anxiety, and adaptation found in the booming Atlantic markets of the Caribbean during the Haitian Revolution.

  • From the Vaults, February 2017
    FROM The VAULTS Newsletter of the Georgia Archives www.GeorgiaArchives.org Volume 2, No. 1 February 2017 The Georgia Archives Building State Historian and Archives Director Louise Hays thought that the Georgia Archives would be preparing to move to a new building on the Capitol Square with the State Library and perhaps the Supreme Court as soon as World War II was over. It took another twenty years, a new State Archivist (Mary Givens Bryan), and a new Secretary of State (Ben W. Fortson, Jr.) to complete the white marble structure on Capitol Avenue. The Archives had moved from the fourth floor of the Capitol in 1929 and 1930 to the twenty-room mansion donated by the heirs of furniture magnate Amos G. Rhodes at 1516 Peachtree Street NW. From the beginning it was obvious that a fireproof building designed as an archives would be preferable to Rhodes Hall. Governor Lamartine Griffin Hardman in 1931 proposed carving a giant records storage facility into the core of Stone Mountain.

  • 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.
