TN preparing this second annual announcement of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College the President 1 has tried to give all the information necessary for those who think of patronizing the institution. In the multiplicity of subjects, however, and the brief space in which they had to be treated he may have failed to be suffi­ ciently explicit on some points, so persons wishing further information may get it by writing to him at Milledgeville; but to avoid needless correspondence he begs that every inquirer before writing will look carefully and see if he cannot find what he wants to know clearly stated some­ where in this pamphlet. A carefully arranged Index will be found at the close of the pamphlet. Georgia Normal and Industrial College. h i s t o r y . h r^ H E original bill for the establishment of this institu­ tion was introduced in the House of Representa- -1 tives of the Georgia Legislature in the July session of 1889 by Hon. Wm. Y. Atkinson, a member from Coweta county. It was received with great favor by the legislature, and after some important amendments, by which the scope and purpose of the school were consider­ ably enlarged, it passed both houses by a large majority, and became a law on November 8, 1889. It was received with hearty enthusiasm by the people and the press of Georgia. A year was spent in perfecting arrangement* for the establishment of the school, and finally, on November 27, 1890, the corner stone of the main college building was laid with impressive ceremonies in the presence of the Governor and the entire body of the Georgia legislature and many distinguished men and women, who had come from all parts of the State to do honor to the occasion. On May 16, 1891, at a meeting of the Board of Directors held in Atlanta a president was elected for the institution. At meetings held several wreeks subsequently in Milledge- ville and in Atlanta the other members of the faculty were elected, and plans for the organization of the school were fully outlined. On Monday, September 30, 1891, the college was opened, There were present on the first day eighty-eight pupils, 10 G eo rg ia N o rm a l a n d I n d u s t r ia l C o l l e g e . coming from fifty-two counties in the State. This number was increased during the session to one hundred and seventy- one pupils, coming from seventy-five counties. The session closed with appropriate commencement exercises, on June 21, 189*2. The school in its first year’s work had surpassed the best expectations of its most sanguine friends, and the fame of the institution had spread throughout the State. After a vacation of three months the school was re­ opened for its second annual session on Wednesday, Sep­ tember 21, 1892. There were present on the first day two hundred and sixty-eight pupils, coming from eighty-two different counties in Georgia. The enrollment for the en­ tire session reached three hundred and sixty-nine pupils, coming from ninety-eight counties in the State. This enumeration embraces only the regular matriculates, and does not include the fifty children of the Model School and the numerous special pupils in music and in art. Bv the first of January the school was full to its utmost capacity, and after that many applicants were turned away for want of room. The second session closed with simple but impressive exercises, on Tuesday, June 13, 1893. The wisdom of this progressive and aggressive step ^in the education of women has now been proven beyond a doubt, and the success of the enterprise is unquestioned. The beneficent practical results are already showing them­ selves largely throughout the State. Nearly one hundred pupils of the college, graduates and undergraduates, are now teaching school in Georgia and in other States, and a number have found good paying places as stenographers, bookkeepers, dressmakers and telegraphers. The State legislature at its last session, recognizing the splendid work being done by this institution, largely in­ creased its annual appropriation, and the additional money thus realized will be most carefully and economically spent in improving the school and making its work better and G e o r g ia N orm al a n d I n d u str ia l C o l l e g e . 11 more complete than it has yet been. Several important additions to the departments and improvements in those already established have been arranged for the next session, and will be put into vigorous effect. The school will start on its third year, therefore, better equipped than ever for the great work that it has to do. l o c a t i o n . The college is located in Milledgeville, a town of four thousand inhabitants, situated in Baldwin county, on the Oconee river, near the geographical center of the State. As the old capital of the State for so many years during (he most interesting periods of Georgia’s history and in the days of her greatest statesmen, it is full of inspiring historic associations. It is now a quiet, reposeful town, entirely free from those excitements, distractions and temptations that are so apt to withdraw the minds of young people, to a greater or less extent, from the earnest pursuit of their studies. Beside this institution, it is also the seat of the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College, a well conducted and flourishing school which at­ tracts many young men from all parts of the State, and also of the State Lunatic Asylum, situated two miles out of town.
