  • 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.

  • University of Georgia Historical Background
    University of Georgia Historical Background A Brief History of the University of Georgia Et docere et rerum exquirere causas. To teach, to serve, and to inquire into the nature of things. – University of Georgia motto Figure 2. Campus Map, 1899. (Source: University of Georgia) The history of the University of Georgia (UGA) generally parallels that of the State of Georgia itself. Georgia became the fourth state of the United States after voting to ratify the Constitution on January 2, 1788. Statehood closely followed the Georgia General Assembly’s establishment of UGA in 1785, the first chartered state university in the nation. After approval of the charter, the legislature appointed governing boards and a president, Abraham Baldwin. It would take sixteen years to navigate the challenges associated with securing support, funding, and a location for the new school before students could be admitted in 1801.9 For much of its history, UGA has supported the evolving 9.

The information provided below offers a brief overview of UGA’s history, encompassing development of the Athens campus as well as the various other historic properties that support University programs and activities. It is followed by the identification of historic contexts within which the University’s historic properties may be better understood.

  • The University of Georgia Colony of Theta Tau’S Chapter Petition
    The University of Georgia Colony of Theta Tau Chapter Petition Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fraternity 1011 San Jacinto, Suite 205 Austin, TX 78701 Dear Brothers, It is an honor and a privilege to be the voice of the University of Georgia’s Colony of Theta Tau. Starting something from the ground is never a simple task, but we have worked diligently since our Colony installation in February 2015 to ensure that all aspects of professionalism, brotherhood, and service are reflected by our members. While our engineering college is still new, interest in our organization has been high, and we have organized and been involved in many college activities; such as club orientations, college-wide social events, and new-student events. Since our installation we have rushed two pledge classes, one in fall of 2015 with 11 initiates and one in spring of 2016 with 17. The addition of these members has brought our current total to 52. As for our involvement on the national level, 3 members attended the National Leadership Conference at GA Tech in 2015. 6 members, myself included, had the chance to attend the Southeast Regional Conference in Nashville, TN at Vanderbilt University this past February. At the regional conference we were able to interact with older chapters and gain much needed insight on issues our colony was struggling with. On a more personal note, it has been an honor to be a part of this amazing group of people who I consider family. I can say that they truly reflect what it means to be a brother of Theta Tau, through their selflessness, determination, and devotion to the group and to each other.

  • J. Whitfield Gibbons SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL
    BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OF J. WHITFIELD GIBBONS J. Whitfield Gibbons Savannah River Ecology Laboratory University of Georgia SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE NO. 156 2019 SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE The first number of the SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE series appeared in 1968. SHIS number 1 was a list of herpetological publications arising from within or through the Smithsonian Institution and its collections entity, the United States National Museum (USNM). The latter exists now as little more than the occasional title for the registration activities of the National Museum of Natural History. No. 1 was prepared and printed by J. A. Peters, then Curator-in-Charge of the Division of Amphibians & Reptiles. The availability of a NASA translation service and assorted indices encouraged him to continue the series and distribute these items on an irregular schedule. The series continues under that tradition. Specifically, the SHIS series distributes translations, bibliographies, indices, and similar items judged useful to individuals interested in the biology of amphibians and reptiles, and unlikely to be published in the normal technical journals. We wish to encourage individuals to share their bibliographies, translations, etc. with other herpetologists through the SHIS series. If you have such an item, please contact George Zug [zugg @ si.edu] for its consideration for distribution through the SHIS series. Our increasingly digital world is changing the manner of our access to research literature and that is now true for SHIS publications. They are distributed now as pdf documents through two Smithsonian outlets: BIODIVERSITY HERITAGE LIBRARY. www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/15728 All numbers from 1 to 131 [1968- 2001] available in BHL.

Phone: (706) 542-8007 Email: [email protected] Project Classification: Social Well-Being Project Focus: Quality of Life Project Type: Other - Water Trail Park System Previously Submitted and Rejected: No Continuation Project: No Project Total Cost: $ 2,593,000 Total Operating Cost: $ 61,000 Project Description: The project will design and construct a water trail system for non-motorized water activities (e.g. canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, or fishing) on the North, Middle Oconee, and Oconee Rivers. A water trail is an established route along a river and at its minimum is a series boat launches along the river. Each launch is located a comfortable paddling distance for novice paddler (5-8 miles) from its upstream predecessor. Features of a water trail can include: canoe/kayak boat launches; facilities for parking; restrooms and picnic facilities; safety signs and route markers; maps and materials promoting the routes. The design will integrate the best practices guidelines outlined by the National Water Trails System, an interagency collaborative effort administered by the National Parks Service through the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program and the National Trails System, Conservation Assistance Program and the River Management Society. The trails will be ADA accessible as terrain allows. The proposed water trails will have up to six launch sites along the North Oconee, Middle Oconee and Oconee rivers. The scenic water trail passes along beginner Class I and II shoals, beautiful rocky bluffs, historic textile mill ruins, wide sandbars, and many miles of secluded forest.
