From 1785 to 1805
University Owes Birth
To Graduates of Yale
By Lamar Gunter
The University of Georgia is the oldest chartered state university
in the United States, and the history between the adoption of that
charter and the institution as it exists today is unique.
Strangely enough the birth and
early days of the University is close
ly related to Yale. Gov. Lyman Hall,
a Yale graduate and signer of the De
claration of Independence, was a firm
believer in state support of higher
education. Although this concept was
new, in 178 4 he induced the Legis-

land for the establishment and sup
port of an institution of higher learn
ing in Georgia.

Abraham Baldwin, a signer of the
federal Constitution and Yale grad
uate, drew up the document now
known as the Charter of the Univer
sity of Georgia. He secured its pass
age by the Legislature of 1785. It was
signed by the governor on Jan. 27.
Thus the University began a period
of existence on paper, but in 1795
the University of North Carolina be
came the first chartered state univer
sity to begin operations.
The year after the charter was
granted, Baldwin was elected presi
dent of the University by the trus
tees. He spent almost 16 years rais
ing money for the University. With
$8,000 in hand the trustees decided
to open in the summer of 1801. Bald
win resigned that same year but he
hand picked,his successor, Josiah
Meigs, for whom Meigs Hall was
named. He was a student under Bald
win during his teaching days at Yale.
John Milledge, later a governor, ac
quired 63 3 acres of land, which is
the present site, and donated it to
the state. The site was in the virgin
forest on the Georgia frontier. The
trustees gave the expected town its
name, Athens.
A contract was let for a college
building and a residence for the pres
ident. In the meantime classes were
held first out-of-doors and then in a
log building. The building was com
pleted in 1805 and named Franklin
College, now known as Old College.
It was named for Benjamin Franklin
who once served as agent for the
Georgia colony.
His work involves several aspects
in his field, about which he has pub
lished articles.
In the September issue of the
American Statistical Association
magazine, Cohen’s article was en
titled “Restriction and Selection In
Samples from Bivariate Normal Dis
tributions.” Much of his research
was done during the summer months
and during one-third of the academic
year.
In the December issue of the same
maguzine, he had an article entitled
"Statistical Problems of Target
Analysis.” The Great Britain publi
cation, Biometrika, also published
one of Cohen’s articles in December.
It was called “Censored Samples
from Truncated Normal Distribu
tions.”
Cohen receives requests for re
prints of these articles from other
universities, laboratories and indi
viduals in the United States and sev
eral foreign countries.

ADVERTISERS
OH, FOR THE LIFE OF A NEWSPAPERMAN!
Look at the campus newspaper you are now holding. An ordi
nary object, you think? An everyday convenience? Something
to be taken for granted?
Faugh, sirs and madams! Faugh, I say! Don’t you know
what prodigies of skill and labor and organization and art and
science go into the making of your campus newspaper?
Come, I’ll show you. I’ll take you to a typical office of a typical
newspaper on a typical campus.
The editor—let’s call him D. Fermin Bohorquez, a typical enough
name—calls his staff together first thing in the morning. “All
right, you guys,” he says, lighting a Philip Morris, which, natu
rally, is the favorite cigarette of newspapermen, and of anybody
else who knows a hawk from a handsaw, “All right, you guys,”
says D. Fermin, “this here ain’t no ladies whist society, this
here is a newspaper. So get out there and get the news. Get it
first, get it quick, get it right! Ed, you cover the ag campus.
Phil, you cover the school of mines. Wally, you cover home ec.
Sam, you cover buildings and grounds. Ethel, you cover the
men’s gym. , . , All right, get going!”

Wicl, )oa (ourilk’llttiitifrt-
With many a laugh and cheer, the reporters light up Philip
Morrises, favorite cigarette of the young and agile, and dash
away on their assignments.
D. Fermin retires to his office to smoke a Philip Morris and
write a fearless editorial scolding the university for not buying
patches for the worn-out elbows of the chess beam.
On the rim of the copy desk three rewrite men — Tensing,
Hillary, and Laverne—sit poised and expectant, waiting for the
reporters to phone in their stories. They smoke Philip Morris,
favorite cigarette of the poised and expectant. Tensing’s phone
rings first; it is Ed calling from the ag campus.
“Stop the presses!” cries Ed. "Got a scoop! Hunrath T.
Sigafoos, professor of curds and whey, has just sold his article
The Romance of Butterfat to the Drovers and Poulterers
Monthly.”
On another phone Sam is calling from buildings and grounds.
“Tear out the front page!” he cries. “Got an exclusive! Harold
‘Pop’ Wishnograd, superintendent of buildings and grounds,
today announced the purchase of a new doormat for the vestibule
of Burton Hall. The last doormat, it will be recalled, was eaten
by a pledge named Norman Harringay for his Chi Psi initiation.”
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city room, Ganglia Qucstover,
vivacious and ubiquitous gossip columnist, sits smoking a
Philip Morris, favorite cigarette of the vivacious and ubiquitous,
and typing out her chatty, informative tidbits: “Maureen
Valgerholtz, popular Theta, announced her engagement last
night to Webster Scuff, Oliver Jenkins, Cosmo Erskine, and
Walter Penn Dowdy. Wedding dates have been set for June 9,
June 24, July 5, and July 18 respectively. Good luck, Maureen!
. . . Irving ‘Behemoth’ Anselm, popular fullback, blew out 120
feet of esophagus yesterday while inflating a football. Good luck,
Irving ‘Behemoth’!... Robin Kroveney, popular Deke last year,
this year popular pfc. in the U. S. Army, writes friends that he
has been convicted of deserting his post and will be executed
on April 28. Good luck, Robin!”
And now, friends, we take our reluctant leave of the drama, the
action, the tension, the glamor, the churning, the seething, the
roiling, the sturm und drang of the wonderful world of journal
ism. Aloha, journalism, aloha! cmu shuiau. uw
The makers of Philip Morris, uho sponsor this column, hare got soma
netes for you too. It’s today’s nete gentle Philip Morris Us today’s
bright new package of red, white, and gold.
