Legislature mourns UGA IV with resolution
UGA IV : A bulldog gone, but definitely not forgotten
The Georgia House of Represen
tatives has unanimously adopted a
resolution lamenting the passing
away of UGA IV, the official Uni
versity mascot since 1981.
State Rep. Charles Poag, D-
Eton, said he wrote the resolution,
which passed Wednesday, “out of
love and respect for the school, stu
dents, fans and UGA IV.”
UGA IV was a part of the foot
ball game tradition that will be
missed, Poag said.
The illustrious bulldog, owned
by Savannah Attorney Frank
Seiler, passed away Feb. 26 at the
age of nine.
Although Poag didn’t attend the
University, his family members
are strong Georgia fans, he said.
One of his daughters, Judi Lynn
Poag, a 27-year-old, "broke down
and cried,” he said.
“Although he is gone from us
now, our much loved UGA IV will
live on forever in the hearts and
souls of Bulldog students, alumni.
players, and fans everywhere who
honor and revere his memory,” the
30-lined resolution read.
Co-signers were State Reps.
Jack Kingston, R-Savannah, and
Lawton Stephens, D-Athens.

Hargrett Library features historically
valuable rare books and manuscripts
By SANDRA STEPHENS
Staff Writer
Treasure seekers only have to
look as far as the main library’s
third floor to find historical gems
like the original Confederate Con-
sitution and clay tablets hundreds
of years old.
You can find these and other bits
of history in the University’s Har
grett Rare Book and Manuscript
Library, established in 1953. The
library houses an enormous
amount of information on Georgia.
Tom Camden, director of the
Hargrett Library, said “We have
rare books from the 1400s to the
present.”
The Hargrett Library has three
main areas: the Georgia Collection,
the Rare Books Collection and the
Rare Manuscript Collection.
The Georgia Collection, which
has published materials written on
almost every aspect of Georgia, has
more than 100,000 volumes and is
open only for browsing, Camden
said.
"Students can sit on the floor
and read all day if they want,” he
said.
The manuscript collection con
tains a large amount of informa
tion on the Civil War, Camden
said.
“It’s one of the largest in the
Southeast,” Camden said.
The Rare Book and Manuscript
Library acquires materials
through gifts and purchases,

Camden said.
The Margaret Mitchell collec
tion, honoring the late author of
“Gone With the Wind”, includes
more than 60,000 items such as let
ters, photographs and telegrams.
Library items were donated by
Mitchell’s brother, he said.
The oldest items in the Rare
Book and Manuscript Library are
about 15 clay tablets from around
1,000 B.C., he said.
The Confederate Constitution,
purchased by the University in the
1940s for $10,000, is the most va
lued item of the collection, Camden
said.
The constitution, which mea
sures 13 feet long and 3 feet wide,
is displayed in special cases in the
gallery every year on April 26, Con
federate Memorial Day, he said.
‘There is no other copy any
where,” Camden said.
The rare book room is named in
honor of Felix Hargrett, a member
of the University’s class of 1924
who started a collection of rare
books and manuscripts at a young
age, Camden said.
Hargrett donated his collection
to the library and established an
endowment fund for the library,
Camden said.
The exhibits in the gallery of the
rare book and manuscript room are
usually on display for six to eight
weeks and are often planned
around holidays or special events,

he said.
Protection of the rare books and
materials is a top priority, Camden
said.
An after-hours security system
protects the materials and rules
and regulations are enforced for
certain areas of the library.
Backpacks aren’t allowed in cer
tain areas. In some places, only
paper and pencils are allowed,
Camden said.
But students usually respect the
materials in the rare book room, he
said.
‘They are holding history in
their hands,” Camden said.
Mark Lewis, a junior history
mtyor, is finding out about social
and family life in the 1850s for his
research seminar course.
The materials in the rare book
room allow a person to interpret
things for himself, Lewis said.
“I enjoy this opportunity to look
at it firsthand,” Lewis said.
John C. Waters, coordinator of
graduate studies in historic preser
vation, said the rare book and
manuscript library is of extreme
importance to the library.
‘The Hargrett Rare Book and
Manuscript Library is a great re
source for our program,” Waters
said.
The rare book room is open to ev
eryone and a goal to make the
materials accessible to everyone,
he said.
“Everything we have belongs to
the state of Georgia,” Camden said.
William Potter, main library di
rector, said the rare book room is
essential and important to the Uni
versity.
“It’s probably the best collection
on Georgia history in the world,”
Potter said.
