But for only 120 years. Athens and UGA have existed for almost as long as the country has. Most all of the private institutions that predated UGA either exist in cities like Boston or Hartford or were founded in pre-established towns.
but how big was UGA in the first 100 years? I suspect most of its students were the rich kids of slave owners and wealthy merchants.

why was a public university started in GA so early, given the state was basicaly wilderness with no Atlanta at that time.

Only freshmen are disallowed....

Ok....
It takes a lot for me to agree with auburnphan, in fact I don't think it's ever happened before now, but dude quit derailing this thread.
If you want to debate the history of clemson vs athens please start a different thread. This thread was going great until you came along. This isn't personal or me attacking you or anything, but honestly the thread is going off the rails because of this.

is that official?
like I said I've heard from many places that only alums are allowed. But...I've also heard only freshman are NOT allowed. Is there a definitive source on this? We need answers. I feel like Rig woudl know.

lol, i'm talking to another UGA person who introduced the topic. the thread isn't going off the rails, you can continue to post pic and other people can too. you are just a control freak, you are the Georgia auburnphan.
I don't have anything else to say about Clemson history, just countered his point that it had no history. it is done now. try to relax, if possible. go to a b52's concert in Athens.

When I attended...it was pretty much universal that no freshmen were allowed under and that it was a privilege for alums and upperclassmen.....that's as much thought as I gave it in the 5 years of my edumatation in Athens...

So kind of a combination of both schools of thought. I can dig that.

speaking of...durden and others, which do you subscribe to?
A) Only freshmen are disallowed from walking under the Arch
B) Only alums are allowed to walk under it
I've heard both from a bunch of different places.
I accidentally walked under the Arch in 2012, and still graduated in 2013

And PNW...thanks for the pictures..awesome memories...although much of the landscape has changed since I graduated..much of it remains the same..

I have a confession to make. I thought I was going to take it to my grave, but alas I'm drunk so I'll spill.
One time, when I was a junior, me and my buddy were hammered and we walked under it on the way back from downtown.
I've never forgotten it and I've always regretted it. I'm truly ashamed and a small part of me will never forgive myself.

Jesus, just wait til we start posting pics of campus. Drove my grandpa through campus last year for the first time since 2006 and he couldn't recognize hardly any of it.

What's changed around campus?
I go to campus every year obviously but I don't venture out aside from my normal spots. I was blown away when I saw the new bolton.

Yeah...I went a period of about 5 years not visiting Athens several years back and when I arrived I hardly recognized 5 points....lots of changes going on..

I've always held that unless you're conscious of the rule and able to consider what you're doing (i.e you're of age to grasp the concept, sober, of sound mind, etc) then it doesn't count. So... walking under the Arch drunk is perfectly acceptable. In fact, I think Abraham Baldwin and James Oglethorpe and Josiah Meigs would all want it that way

When the new Terry and Science Learning Center get done, the whole campus is going to be fricking gorgeous.
