introduction to the gbook

GLORY, GLORY, TO OLD GEORGIA!


the g book is the official traditions handbook for University
of Georgia students. Your Student Alumni Association (SAA) has the motto Where Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation meet Pride, Loyalty, and Tradition. SAA is the gatekeeper for UGA traditions, and it invites all UGA students to participate in the new G Book experience. To make it applicable to the student experience today, students wrote and crafted your 2012 - 2013 edition of the G Book. From 1915 through the late 1950s, the G Book existed as a guide to students about all things Georgia. Men were actually required to carry the book in their front left pocket. Much smaller then, the pages were filled with rules and regulations by which all university students had to abide. It also served as the main book for cheers and songs that established Georgia pride. More than 50 years later, the G Book is back! Revived by the Student Alumni Council (SAC) in 2009, this is the fourth edition of the new G Book. Our G Book aims to connect you with the traditions and points of pride of the University of Georgia. These pages are designed to capture your memories as a Dawg. Take pictures, fill the pages, and create a living testament of your time spent at UGA. This book will introduce you to the history, traditions, and spirit that graduates of UGA should understand and carry with them. As Larry Munson so aptly put it, There is no tradition more worthy of envy, no institution worthy of such loyalty as the University of Georgia. As you embark on your collegiate journey, try to experience all aspects of the campus and the community. Learn as much as you can about yourself by stepping outside your comfort zone and trying something different. As our university continues to grow, new traditions are created all the time. From not walking under the Arch, to taking your picture on the Arch Tile logo in the Miller Learning Centereach tradition is unique and special to the Bulldog Nation. Its up to the students to create them and keep them alive.

college of agricultural and environmental sciences

Conner Hall

hrough the time of the souths rebellion, reformation, and reconstruction, there stood the University of Georgia and the College of Agricultural and Environmental

Sciences (CAES). Originally the state agricultural college, CAES was founded in 1859 by the University Board of Trustees. Under the Morrill Act, each eligible state received a total of 30,000 acres of federal land. This land, or the proceeds from its sale, was to be used toward establishment and funding of the educational institutions that focused learning toward military tactics, agricultural education, and mechanical arts. Through the years, CAES has become the universitys strongest arm to carry out its land-grant mission through a three-part structure of teaching, research, and extension. CAES is one of the oldest colleges of agriculture in the United States. From its inception, the college has worked diligently to support Georgias number one industry: agriculture. For more than 150 years, CAES has worked to promote excellence in agriculture by researching and developing new technologies to combat issues and solve problems in the ever changing agricultural industry. In 1914, the UGA Cooperative Extension Service was founded with the mission to take research-based agricultural information to the people. Today, 157 of Georgias 159 counties have extension programs that utilize the expertise of county agents and specialists to share information on issues such as water quality, profitability in agribusiness, and family wellness.

The CAES Extension Service also coordinates Georgias largest youth program, 4-H. Each year, almost 200,000 children become UGAs youngest students by participating and learning through the Georgia 4-H extension program. The leadership skills learned in 4-H by participating in community service projects, summer camps, and state conferences last a lifetime. CAES has classrooms, laboratories, and facilities on UGA campuses in Athens, Griffin and Tifton, Georgia. In addition, the college has research and education centers in Attapulgus, Camilla, Eatonton, Savannah, Blairsville, Calhoun, Midville and Plains. It is also represented across the state by local UGA Cooperative Extension offices and five 4-H Centers in Hampton (Fortson), Jekyll Island (Jekyll), Eatonton (Rock Eagle), Tybee Island (Burton) and Dahlonega (Wahsega). Today, CAES is much more than poultry, peanuts, and peaches. The college offers 22 majors, four undergraduate degree programs, four masters degree programs, and doctorates in more than 10 areas. Students graduate ready to pursue successful careers that address pressing issues in agriculture and environmental protection on regional, national, and international levels. Unlike the first graduates of CAES, few of todays graduates enter farm production careers. Today, more than half pursue careers in business in both agricultural and non-agricultural disciplines. Other graduates secure employment opportunities in government, environmental protection, education, management, finance, research, processing, and manufacturing sectors.

uga multicultural firsts


No history of UGA could be successfully written without acknowledging the vital contributions minority students have made from desegregation to today. The university owes much to the brave trailblazing of Charlayne Hunter-Gault, Hamilton Holmes, and Mary Frances Early. From that pivotal day in 1961 through today, students of all races and creeds have been strengthening UGAs academic excellence and role as a leader in higher education. 1941: Koji Ariyoshi (41) became the first Asian-American student to graduate from UGA. 1961: Charlayne Hunter (63) and Hamilton Holmes (63) become the first African American students to enroll at the University of Georgia. They were later joined by Mary Frances Early, a graduate student, who became the first African American to earn a degree from UGA when she received her masters degree in music education in 1962. Hunter and Holmes received their undergraduate degrees in 1963. 1968: Dr. Richard M. Graham becomes the first African American faculty member at UGA when he joins the School of Music. He later becomes the director of the school in 1994. 1969: The Zeta Pi chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity becomes the first African American fraternity at UGA on May 10, 1969. The first members are Eddie Cheeks (72), Alan Jackson (74), Richard Morgan (73), Bennie Roberson, Michael Stover, Russell William, and Alonzo Wilson (73). 1970: Basketball player Ronnie Hogue becomes the first African American to play a major sport at UGA. 1977: Dr. Leroy Ervin and Dr. Ron Radden establish the Abeneefoo Kuo Honor Society, the first and only honor society dedicated to black students. Abeneefoo Kuo means circle of honor in Swahili. 1989: The Office of Minority Service and Programs opens. The first director is Dr. Leslie K. Bates, who joins the office in April 1990. 1989: Minority Services and Programs (MSP) opens its doors in September. 1991: The Hispanic Student Association is founded. 1992: Premal Amin (96) and five other students create the Indian Culture Exchange.

Old College

Abraham Baldwin Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia

Memorial Hall

The first garden club in America was organized in Athens, Georgia in 1891. Old College (1806), UGAs first permanent building, was modeled after Connecticut Hall at Yale. The building was originally named Franklin College after Benjamin Franklin. UGA would be called Franklin College throughout the antebellum period. The Arch once had a gate which mysteriously disappeared around 1885. To this day, no one knows what happened

to the Arch gate, but the notches where it once stood still remain on the iron structure. Memorial Hall memorializes the 47 UGA men who served and died in World War I and bears the names of the battles in which they died. In the northeast corner of the Miller Learning Center at the Memorial Gardens, UGA now memorializes all veterans who have died in battle. The tree that owns itself was willed eight feet of land surrounding its base. It was also recognized by Ripleys Believe It or Not!

1. Rat Caps
Beginning at registration, freshmen were required to wear red and black caps with a G every day. The caps could be removed if Georgia beat Georgia Tech in football. However, if not, they were to be worn until the winter break. If for any reason a freshman was caught without his rat cap, his head would have been shaved.

2. Rat Court
The rat court existed to monitor and sanction freshmen. Each residence hall had a court and demerits were assigned when a freshman did something out of line. As punishment, freshmen had to go to the Varsity on the corner of Broad and College Streets to take orders for upperclassmen.

3. The Goat
The goat served as the first mascot during the football game against Auburn in 1892. According to old pictures, the goat wore a ribboned hat and a black coat with red letters on each side. This mascot was short lived and was replaced with a female Bull Terrier in 1894.

4. Shirttail Parade
At what is now known as the UGA Health Sciences campus, freshmen would partake in a tradition called the Shirttail Parade during the fall and spring semesters. Starting where the MLC stands today, men would gather, drop their pants, then run toward Coordinate Campus. Upon arriving, the students held a huge pep rally and bonfire. The tradition continued until the community complained and the university grew too large for such a tradition.

5. Senior Parade
Originally held before the Little Commencement dance and the Georgia Tech baseball game at home, male seniors would walk around Sanford Field in wild and crazy costumes. This continued until the 1930s when it became a more formal event held during the homecoming football game. Later, seniors would don their best outfits and parade around Sanford Stadium. The tradition lasted until the 1960s when the number of seniors made it impossible to continue the tradition.

6. Little Commencement
Beginning in the early 1920s, Little Commencement was the social event of the year. Sponsored by fraternities, dances with big-name bands were held on Friday and Saturday nights. Breakfasts and afternoon teas were also held both days. Prior to women being admitted to the university in 1918, fraternity houses would be cleaned, brothers moved out, chaperones brought in, members datesmostly from out of townwould move in, and the fun would begin. It was originally held when the Bulldogs played Georgia Tech in a baseball game, and began with the senior parade. It later moved to the homecoming football game and was held well into the early 1960s.

7. The Toombs Oak


A sundial stands in front of the UGA Chapel where once a mighty oak tree stoodToombs Oaknamed for the famous Senator and Confederate General Robert Toombs, who was expelled from the university in 1825. As the story goes, Toombs returned and attended his class commencement at the Chapel where he began an eloquent speech under the limbs of the giant oak. The speech was so powerful that people opted to listen to Toombs speak rather than watch the commencement ceremony. Despite his expulsion, Toombs never stopped loving UGA. He eventually served on the board of trustees from 18591885.

8. Tradition of Saying Hello


An early tradition required that students greet one another as they passed. A 1921 G Book states, The first thing that you will notice after reaching the Georgia campus is the democratic spirit among the Georgia boys. It is the custom to speak to each other whether they have been introduced or not. A man cannot afford to be snobbish at Georgia.

9. Mandatory Chapel
The Chapel that stands on North Campus was constructed in 1832. It was built to replace the first chapel that had proved to be inadequate in size for the quickly growing university. Through the end of the 19th century, the Chapel remained large enough to house the entire student body at mandatory services. The Chapel Bell, which once sat atop the structure, instead of behind it as it does now, was used to summon students to mandatory prayers and to signal change of classes.

10. Sitting on the Railroad Tracks for a Game


Before the east end zone was enclosed in 1981, fans who could not get tickets to the home games would line the railroad tracks to watch the Bulldogs take on their next opponent.

Et docere et rerum exquirere causas


To teach, to serve, and to inquire into the nature of things

As members of the University of Georgia community, we aspire to uphold the principles manifested by the three pillars of the Arch:

The Pillars of the Arch


Wisdom, Justice & Moderation
discovery, and expression throughout our community.

WISDOM challenges us to apply lessons received inside and outside the classroom to our everyday lives. Wisdom transcends knowledge, embracing curiosity,

JUSTICE leads us to be fair in our dealings, accountable for our actions, responsible for ourselves, and empathetic for others. Justice requires honesty and celebrates diversity, establishing credibility and integrity for our community and ourselves. MODERATION compels us to act with civility, bolstering our faith in others and the faith others have in us. Moderation accentuates our self-respect, promotes responsible citizenship, and enhances pride in our university. Without each of these pillars, the Arch would lose its strength and balance. Likewise, all three qualities are necessary for us to be strong and complete citizens.

Alma Mater
From the hills of Georgias northland Beams thy noble brow, And the sons of Georgia rising Pledge with sacred vow. Neath the pine trees stately shadow Spread thy riches rare. And thy sons, dear Alma Mater, Will thy treasures share. And thy daughters proudly join thee, Take their rightful place, Side by side into the future, Equal dreams embrace. Through the ages, Alma Mater, Men will look to thee; Thou the fairest of the Southland, Georgias Varsity. (Chorus) Alma Mater, thee well honor, True and loyal be, Ever crowned with praise and glory, Georgia, hail to thee.
Your Role: Learn the words and sing! The Alma Mater is played at various occasions on campus. Prior to kickoff at football games, fans are encouraged to sing the first verse and the chorus. Fun Fact: The lyrics are by J.B. Wright, Jr. Class of 1912. In response to a request by University Council for more inclusionary language in the Alma Mater, the third verse was added in 1990. The lyrics to that verse were written by Gail Carter Dendy, B.A. 74, M.A. 81.

Your Role: Commonly played by the Redcoat Band after a score, students and fans yell Glory, glory to old Georgia! three times and usually replace G-E-O-R-G-I-A with And to hell with our opponent. Fun Fact: Glory Glory is sung to the tune of the The Battle Hymn of the Republic. It originated as early as the 1890s, but Hugh Hodgson, Georgias famous composer and musician arranged it in its present form.

The Redcoat Band Hail Georgia


Hail to Georgia down in Dixie! Our college honored fair and true, The Red and Black is her standard, Proudly it waves! Streaming today and the ages through, Shes the fairest of the Southland, Well pledge our love to her for aye, To that college dear well ring a cheer, All hail to dear old UGA!
Fun Fact: Hail Georgia is the official fight song of the Bulldogs, but Glory Glory is more commonly used. Your Role: At football games, the crowd starts yelling Go while holding a low o sound until the ball is kicked when Dawgs is yelled. Afterwards, the crowd chants Sicem! Woof!... Fun Fact: During orientation, all participants line up on the stairs in Tate Plaza and are led in their first Calling of the Dawgs.

Calling the Dawgs:


GOOOOOOOOOO Dawgs! Sicem! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

Going Back:
Going back, going back Going back to Athens town. Going back, going back To the best old place around. Going back, going back To hear that grand old sound Of a chapel bell and a Georgia yell, Going back to Athens town.

Fun Fact: The yell was created by Morton Hodgson, class of 1909 and appeared in several G Books through the years as a mandatory learned yell.

UGA Battle Hymn
The Battle Hymn of the Bulldog Nation is a song held close to the hearts of many Bulldog fans. On game day it is initially played at the Dawg Walk after the team enters the stadium. Many Georgia fans cherish when the Battle Hymn is played during the Larry Munson football highlight clips shown during the pre-game show. A trumpet soloist begins the Battle Hymn from the southwest upper deck of the stadium. Shortly after, the entire Redcoat Band joins in the hymn. It is tradition for the students to rise, remove their hats, and point toward the trumpet soloist in honor of this hymn.

Georgia G
After football coach Vince Dooley arrived in Athens in 1963, he worked to re-design the uniforms and create a logo to become synonymous with the University of Georgia. After deciding on a forward facing G, Dooley received design assistance from Anne Donaldson, the wife of a coach, to bring his vision to life. Since the design was similar to the Green Bay Packers G that debuted in 1961, UGA had to get special permission to use Green Bays marks. However, through the years Green Bay has redesigned its oval G several times. Its current inception is very similar to the original 1964 Georgia oval G which has stood the test of time.

Krypton
At popular UGA athletic events, Krypton is played by the Redcoat Band. The most popular time the song is played is at the end of the third quarter at football games. The fans across the stadium raise their hands showing four fingers on each hand signifying the beginning of the fourth quarter and move back and forth with the beat of the music.

Silver Britches
The legendary UGA Silver Britches began in 1939 when the new head coach, Wally Butts, decided to create a strikingly original uniform for his football team. The pants immediately became a symbol of Bulldog pride among students and fans. In the 1950s, they became one step away from legend when the famous quote Go, You Silver Britches first began to appear on banners, in cheers, and on clothing. In 1964, Coach Vince Dooley decided to pair his red jerseys with white pants and the tradition of the Silver Britches disappeared. However, sixteen years later, Dooley decided to bring the Silver Britches back for a season he thought was marked with victory. The year was 1980, and indeed, those Silver Britches saw victory.

Between the Hedges Between the Hedges


The famous hedges that line the field of Sanford Stadium have been in place since the dedication in 1929. It was not until the 1930s when legendary sportswriter Grantland Rice coined the famous phrase that describes Sanford Stadium today. Rice said that Georgia always had an advantage when playing their opponent between the hedges. Only once in history has there been a game played in a hedge-less stadium. The hedges were removed in 1996 to accommodate the final rounds of Olympic Soccer, but were replaced with newer hedges prior to the start of fall. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the hedges also serve as a crowd control measure. Only once have fans rushed the field. It occurred after Georgia upset Tennessee in 2000; ending that series losing streak since 1988.

The Deep Souths Oldest Rivalry
This is the name given to the football game in which the Georgia Bulldogs face the Auburn Tigers. The first game was played on February 20th in 1892 in Atlanta at Piedmont Park. Although the game has been played many places, and is now played alternately in Athens and Auburn, for many decades it was a tradition for the game to be played in neutral territory in Columbus, Georgia. In honor of the oldest and greatest rivalry in the Deep South, student leaders at each university annually engage in Better Relations Day. In alternating years, the student leaders travel to the rival university to learn about their campus and sign a pact to keep the tradition and sportsmanship of the game alive.

Clean, Old-fashioned Hate


This is the name given to the football game in which the Georgia Bulldogs face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Although there is a discrepancy over how many times the football game has been played (Georgia claims 102 and Tech claims 104), the first meeting was on November 4, 1893. This clean, old-fashioned hate goes well beyond football and has a storied history of stolen mascots and pranks played between Georgia students and the students at the North Avenue Trade School.

Origins of Red and Black
True Georgia fans bleed red and black. In obvious reference to the universitys official colors, this saying has become a common truism within the Bulldog Nation. The universitys colors of red and black stem back to the 19th century turf wars between Georgia and in-state rival Georgia Tech. In a December 1891 issue of the universitys literary magazine, the student editors had proclaimed Georgias colors to be old gold, black, and crimson. However, Dr. Charles H. Herty, the first football coach and the father of intercollegiate athletics at the university, saw the color yellow, not gold, when he examined the pages of the Georgia University Magazine. In an effort to increase school spirit, Herty organized the schools first Athletic Association. He then saw to it that yellow was eliminated from the colors because he saw the color yellow as weak and a symbol of cowardice. When Georgia Tech later adopted the colors of gold and white, it only served to further true Georgia fans distaste for anything yellow. Thus the University of Georgia established its official school colors as red and black. (Early on, the original crimson had become good ole Georgia red.)

Mascots
How We Became the Bulldogs
Many assume that Georgia acquired the nickname, Bulldogs, because of the strong ties with Yale whose nickname is Bulldogs. It was not until November 3, 1920 when Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal wrote about school nicknames and said The Georgia Bulldogs would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity. Just three days later on November 6, 1920, Atlanta Constitution writer Cliff Wheatley used the nickname Bulldogs five times in his story to describe a 0-0 tie against Virginia.

Hairy Dawg Hairy Dawg


UGA has not always had the loveable Hairy Dawg on the sidelines at athletic events. It was not until the 1980 National Championship Sugar Bowl that Hairy Dawg made his debut appearance. Hairy was designed and created by Tom Sapp, a 1969 graduate of the university after the University of Florida introduced their new costumed mascot at the Georgia Florida game. The intimidating, yet captivating, Hairy Dawg has a large wardrobe including: his football uniform, pompom pants, formal wear for Homecoming, basketball gear, and suit and tie for gymnastics meets.

Spike
Originally introduced in 2003, this inflatable dog is the newest addition to the mascot family. Spike proudly cheers on the Dawgs at basketball games and volleyball meets by doing some really cool tricks like jumping on top of his head!

1. the arch
Having served as the official entrance to campus for more than 150 years, the Arch is the official symbol of the University of Georgia. Daniel Redfearn (1910) is the student who is credited with beginning the tradition that one should not walk under the Arch lest you may not graduate from UGA. Recognized as one of the schools finest traditions, students today avoid walking underneath the Arch until they have a diploma in hand as Redfearn had established. The pillars of the Arch represent wisdom, justice, and moderation. When you graduate from the University of Georgia, you should embody these qualities representing our institution. Until then, when you are strolling through North Campus, walk under the Arch at your own risk!

3. literary societies
In 1803, UGA students formed the first student organization on campus, the Demosthenian Literary Society, a group designed to cultivate public speaking and rhetoric. In 1820, the rival Phi Kappa Literary Society formed with similar goals in mind. More than 200 years later both groups still exist and meet in their respective halls on North Campus. From politicians and statesmen to business leaders and authors, many notable UGA alumni refined their oration skills in one of these two societies. During the antebellum era, almost all students joined either Demosthenian or Phi Kappa. Drop by either hall on a Thursday evening at 7 p.m. to enjoy an evening of thought provoking debate while engaging in one of the University of Georgias longest standing traditions.

4. the tree that owns itself


Drive up the only remaining cobblestone street in Athens and arrive at the Tree That Owns Itself. This is a tradition that has existed since 1832 when Colonel William H. Jackson, the son of a Georgia governor and a professor at UGA, deeded a beloved white oak and the eight feet of surrounding land to itself because of the great love he had for the tree. The current tree is the offspring of the original, which fell due to natural events in 1942. It later grew from an acorn of the original tree and was transplanted to the location of the original by the College of Agricultures Horticulture Department. Located on the corner of Dearing and Finley Streets, the tree still stands on the ground it owns.

5. the red & black


Established in 1893, the paper was sponsored by the university until it established itself as an independent print publication in 1895. The next year, the Athletic Association oversaw the publication and turned it into its sports journal until 1928. The paper was then transferred to the Journalism department on campus. After several disagreements with the administration, the staff of the student-run paper chose to become independent once more in 1980. Since then, the Red & Black has been supported solely through advertisements from local area businesses. Visit: www.redandblack.com

6. attend an event in the chapel


Known as one of the most conspicuous landmarks on campus, the University of Georgia Chapel held daily mandatory religious services, student assemblies, and even commencements. The bell tower, formerly located on top of the Chapel, served as a call to bring students to class. Due to damage, the bell was transferred to the rear of the building for all to ring in 1913. Erected in 1832 on North Campus to replace the original wooden structure, this Greek revival construction is home to modern-day weddings, lectures, meetings, concerts, and plays every semester. Dont miss out on attending any of these great events while you are still a student at UGA!! Visit: www.chapel.myweb.uga.edu

8. class ring

Place Your Photo Here to be recognized as a Tradition Keeper

One of the greatest and most widely observed traditions at UGA is the official class ring. The ring is the everlasting symbol to represent the honor and traditions of the university. It was created by the UGA Alumni Association with input from both students and alumni. The ring is a classic icon identifying the wearer as person of excellence, and an individual of integrity and leadership. The official class ring is reserved for junior and senior students in good standing, as well as alumni of the university. Class rings are presented each spring during the ring ceremony. When worn as a student, the Arch design should face you. During your commencement ceremony, you are asked to turn your ring so the Arch design faces away from you, signifying that you are a proud graduate of the University of Georgia.

10. the chapel bell


Whether it was a victory over a big football rivalry game, or on your first official tour of campus, you may have heard the ringing of the Chapel bell from North Campus. Located behind the Chapel, the tradition of ringing the bell dates back to the 1892 when the Bulldogs played their games on Herty Field. Freshmen used to ring the Chapel bell continuously until midnight after a victory. Following a Georgia victory over Florida in 2007, the bell fell from its support platform due to the overwhelming excitement of Bulldog fans ringing the bell for hours. Today alumni, students, and Georgia fans rejoice in ringing the bell. Take part in this tradition following any athletic victory or even managing to pass that organic chemistry test.

11. participate in a greek event


One of the longest-running campus life traditions is participating in a Greek letter organization. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the first fraternity to be established at the university in 1866. 55 years later, Phi Mu became the first sorority on campus to integrate women into the Greek system in 1921. Since then, more than 60 Greek letter organizations have come to campus to provide opportunities to all students through membership selection, brotherhood/ sisterhood, leadership, educational programs, philanthropies, and community involvement. Greek organizations coordinate a variety of events such as date nights, formals, parent events, and a variety of philanthropic fundraisers. Visit: www.uga.edu/greeklife

Since 1929, a tradition that is held dear for many Bulldog fans is to watch a game between the hedges in Sanford Stadium. Saturday in the fall means: it is time put on your best red and black and head to the stadium to cheer on the Dawgs with 92,746 of your closest friends. As the seventh largest on-campus stadium in the country, Sanford has gone through multiple renovations throughout its 82-year history with the last seats added in 2004 and the addition of Reed Plaza in 2010. There is no way to explain the feeling of cheering on the Dawgs and the amount of school pride exhibited in the stadium in a sea of red and black.

Herty Field, located on North Campus, was the original on-campus playing venue for track, football, and baseball at the University of Georgia. Before it was used for athletics, the field was used as a marching ground. However, under the direction of Dr. Charles Herty, a professor of Chemistry and the creator of the UGA varsity football team, the field was landscaped to host games and practices for the universitys varsity and intramural activities. In the Fall of 1892, with Dr. Herty serving as head coach, the field was opened for the first UGA home football game against Mercer University. UGA defeated Mercer with a final score of 50-0. Take part in this tradition by visiting Herty Field and throwing a football on UGAs original athletic field!

A native Georgian, Abraham Baldwin was born the son of a blacksmith and died as one of the most influential figures in UGAs history. As an elected member of Georgias state legislature, Baldwin strongly believed education was the key to the future prosperity of Georgia and advocated strongly for the education of its citizens. Abraham Baldwin developed a comprehensive educational plan that ultimately included land grants from the state to fund the establishment of the University of Georgia. Through Baldwins efforts, UGA became the first state-chartered school in the nation in January of 1785. Along with authoring the UGA Charter, Baldwin also served as to 1801.

commencement
Earlier commencement ceremonies lasted three to four days with each graduating senior given the option to speak for up to 10 minutes and festivities with dances lasting into the wee hours of the night. The modern commencement ceremony took its form after World War II due to increasing enrollment. It was not until the 1950s that the spring commencement ceremony was moved to Sanford Stadium because the graduating classes had grown too large for on-campus auditoriums. However, one tradition that has been present from the very beginning is that the sheriff of Clarke County leads the graduation processional armed with a sword. This was a safety measure because the university was established near a turbulent frontier. Today commencement ceremonies are held in May, August, and December with Sanford Stadium serving as the spring undergraduate ceremony facility and Stegeman Coliseum hosting all other ceremonies.

Katie Riley, 05 katie.riley@gmail.com Digital Sales Coordinator TBO.com Tampa Bay Chapter President Attend any and all Career Fairs you can! Even as an alumni. That is how I landed my first job after UGA and how other companies I worked for recruited heavily for quality employees. Michael Abramowitz, 90 bromomichael@aol.com Senior Editor The PGA of America Learning is a lifelong process. UGA will give you the foundation to pursue your dreams in order to grow throughout your career. Never be afraid to fail or to put an idea on the table. I once suggested half-jokingly a 21 Golf Ball Salute for our veterans for the inaugural Patriot Golf Day. Five years later, it is now a tradition at a number of golf courses across the country. I also once suggested a Were Golf program based on my experiences growing up and working my way through school in the golf industry as a waiter (little did I know that in my career I would eventually wind up in the communications side of golf 20 years later). WE ARE GOLF is now an industrywide government lobbying coalition that demonstrates how golf employs two million people nationwide. So, you never know. Bottom line, be sure to do what you love and love what you do and make great contacts along the way...Go Dawgs!

Alisha Babies, 13 alisha.babies@gmail.com Student Alumni Council Student Alumni Council Member It takes a very special person to wear the University of Georgia logo proudly and meet the challenge that comes along with it. This includes: attending orientation and officially being initiated into this prestigious institution, picking a major that suits you and shows off your awesomeness, being yourself and adding that special spark to the organizations you join, showing your school spirit by attending athletic events and yelling GO DAWGS SICEM, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!!! as loud as you can, supporting the amazing friends that you gain along the way, and (last but certainly not least) receiving your diploma, walking under the Arch, and ringing the chapel bell knowing that all you have learned and experienced at the University of Georgia is like no other. So with that being said, make your time at UGA worthwhile because the rumors are definitely true as IT FEELS GREAT TO BE A GEORGIA BULLDOG!
