The Covington Enterprise, Established in 1864 — The Covington Star, Established in 1874 and The Citizen • Observer, Established io 1953
Banquet Thursday night at
Haygood Hall on the Emory
at-Oxford campus.
Highlighting the evening fes
i tivities was an announcement
Iby Dean V. Y. C. Eady of
I Emory-at-Oxford that a sl,-
300,000 expansion program for
the local Junior College branch
of the Emory University Sys
tem had been approved re
cently at the annual meeting
of the Emory Board of Trus
tees. Dr. Eady said that fur
ther information about the
planned expansion would bg
made known in the near fu
ture.
Mr. Bowden, a prominent At
lanta attorney, told Emory’s
story of the past and her hopes
for the future as if he were
viewing three phases of t h e
institution’s development which
he classified as “Ancient, Mo
dern, and Future.”
ANCIENT TIMES
“The seeds for the establish
ment of Emory were actually
sown at a Methodist meeting in
Washington, Ga. (Wilkes Coun
ty) several years before the
founding date in 1836 when the
Methodist Church was trying to
raise money to support Ran
dolph Macon College in Vir
ginia.” Mr. Bowden said.
As the story goes, Bishop
Allen Turner of Wilkes Coun
ty almost broke up the meet
ing when he openly stated that
he didn’t see why “we can’t
take our money and establish
a Methodist school here in
Georgia rather than having to
support a college in far-off
Virginia.”
The accepted date for t h e
founding of Emory is December
10, 1836, but Mr. Bowden point
ed out that the Governor of
Georgia didn’t actually sign the
charter until December 19,
at which time Emory became
a Manual Labor School with an
age limit of 12 years and a
yearly tuition of S4O.
During Emory’s early years
school started at 6:00 a. m. and
the curriculum consisted of
spelling, the 3 R’s, logic geology
English, rhetoric, math, lan
guages, evidences of Christian
ity, and work in the fields after
class. Lights were put out at
9:00 p. m.
The cost of a full year’s ac
tivity was $lO9. At this time
the price was SSO cheaper than
a full year of study at either
