Wednesday, October 24, 2007 The Braselton News Page 13A Historical society learns about UGA’s past The membership and guests of the Jackson County Historical Society were treated to a trip to The University of Georgia’s Franklin (Old) College build ing during an October 14 “ramble.” The land on which the building stands was in Jackson County until 1801, when it was cut off for Clarke County. Milton Leathers III presented a program on the establishment of this, the first state-chartered uni versity in the United States, and its first president, Abraham Baldwin. Dr. Merritt Pound from Athens once quoted President Angell of Yale, who stated: “Abraham Baldwin was the smartest college president in the United States that I ever heard about, because he had the job for sixteen years, he resigned as soon as he hired the first faculty member, and he left before any student arrived on campus!” The afternoon ramble around campus led to the University’s Hargrett Library, where Linda Aaron pulled numerous old court documents from Jackson County that were part of Dr. E. Merton Coulter’s collection. The group was also privileged to see and handle other treasures from the Hargrett collection. The next meeting of the historical society will be January 20 at the First Baptist Church in Pendergrass. Call 706-757-2471 for information on programs or membership. A VISIT TO UGA Steven Brown is shown describing an early draw ing of possible repair to Franklin College during a recent visit to “Old College” by members of the Jackson County Historical Society.
