The constant selec- tions of thoughts, discov- eries, feelings, and events, which have become so precious to us are a herit- age from the past. Each successive generation, as torchbearers, has helped to make the flame of tra- dition brighter. Realizing M » the amount of love and care which has gone to the making of these tradi- tions, we have endeav- ored to imprint them in a material way upon our memory, just as they have already been in our hearts through the years. The fig- ures in the traditions may be unreal; their words may be misinterpreted; but the communion is a real fact. F\ ^ B;P O K S M COLLEGE It is fitting that Main Tower which embodies all our traditions should sym- bolize this section, the COLLEGE. With its arms reaching to the sky, the tower stands an impressive reminder of thepdSt--of the traditions which we have learned to love and revere during our college years.

Designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, the house at 205 The Prado was built in 1910 from locally- quarried granite in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was first home to real estate developer Edwin P. Ansley, founder of Ansley Park, Atlanta’s first automobile suburb. Ellis Arnall, one of the state’s most progressive governors, resided there (1943-47). He was a disputant in the infamous “three governors controversy.” For forty-three years, the mansion was home to twelve governors, until poor maintenance made it nearly uninhabitable. A new governor’s mansion was constructed on West Paces Ferry Road. The granite mansion was razed in 1969, but its garage was converted to a residence. 3 Historical Documentation of the Granite Mansion Edwin P. Ansley Edwin Percival Ansley (see Appendix 1) was born in Augusta, GA, on March 30, 1866. In 1871, the family moved to the Atlanta area. Edwin studied law at the University of Georgia, and was an attorney in the Atlanta law firm Calhoun, King & Spalding.

Iddunicipal ^sdudito PROGRAM Program Notes by Dr. Malcolm H. Dewey OVERTURE TO TANNHAUSER..................................................Richard Wagner (1813-1883) Had Richard Wagner capitalized upon the success of his first grand opera, Rienzi (1842), he might have gone on to be another Meyerbeer, but possibly little more. For here was opera which succeeded by the brilliance of the spectacle and the music rather than through intrinsic merit. It matters little that he failed to repeat the success in the Flying Dutchman, which followed within a year; a new Wagner was in evidence, certainly in more than embryonic state. Tempted though he was to return to historic subject matter so as to repeat the success of Rienzi, and he was actually at work on material dealing with Manfred, he turned to German legendary past, the Germany of epic and story, the world of the Minnesingers, and Tann- hauser, presented in 1845, was the outcome. As Wagner related the story, Tannhauser, who once loved the chaste Elizabeth, had found his way to the grotto of Venus.

THE MARTA COLLECTION: AN INVESTIGATION OF AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL LEGACY AND CACHE OF HISTORY by LORI C. THOMPSON Under the Direction of Jeffrey B. Glover, PhD ABSTRACT The initial rail lines for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), radiate from a center point where the town of Terminus gave rise to Atlanta. This massive public undertaking created an opportunity for Georgia State University (GSU) personnel, under the direction of Dr. Roy Dickens, to implement urban archaeological excavations, which were part of the burgeoning field of Cultural Resource Management (CRM). The material recovered from this project revealed a wealth of information about the people, culture, and growth of Atlanta. Since the conclusion of this project in 1980, little attention has been given to the physical collection. This invaluable resource has succumbed to the effects of decomposition and loss due to inattentiveness over time.

  • Miss May Allen King Historian First Methodist Church Is Replete with History That Reads Like Romance, Which Pro~Bly Accounts for I The
    HISTORY OF FIRST METHODIST CHURCH ... T ATLANTA, GEORGIA by Miss May Allen King Historian First Methodist church is replete with history that reads like romance, which pro~bly accounts for I the. fact many writers have adopted it as a theme for sketches. The record is colorful, unique in some par­ ticulars, and always intriguing. Facts and figures, growth and development, are interwoven in an ongoing story, pulsing with vigorous Yife. The beginning dates back more than a hundred ~ years. As early as 1847, "local preachers were rang­ ing" and Methodists were astir in the little railroad village. Small groups were meeting in private homes and in warehouses on Peachtree street and Auburn Ave­ nue and conducting services. In 1847, Samuel Mitchell, a public spirited citizen, gave a lot of ground to Methodists, hich was the triangular lot surrounded by Peachtree, pryor, ( and Houston streets, north of the Candler Budlding.
