From the tragic events of September 1 1th to Britney Spears' infamous "snake-charming" at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, the year proved to be one that would not easily be forgotten. On campus, Artie Travis was the Dean, Aramark ruled with an iron fist, and there were no fees for parking. Those were the days... and I'm glad they are long gone!

A THE YAMAGRAW ISSUED BY THE FOURTH SENIOR CLASS OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Tlpo'i ijXiov aparoXci'^. Herodof u s History of The Coat of Arms NE of the proudest heritages of our University is its right to the use of General Oglethorpe's coat of arms; and we gladly accept this heritage because it represents the superb ideals of that wonderful man who was both the founder of our State and the inspiration of our University. A copy of the Coat of Arms was found in an old book at the Carnegie Library of Atlanta. The shield consists of a field argent with a black chevron and three boars' heads, two heads above the chevron and one below. It is surmounted by a larger boar's head with a green twig and tusk showing. The motto on the scroll beneath reads, "Nescit Cedere." Only one change has been made from the original coat of arms: General Ogle- thorpe's motto "Nescit Cedere" has been changed to read, "Manu Dei Resurrexit." Until this year there had been no "official" Coat of Arms of the University; but this summer Dr. Jacobs had made a large-sized reproduction of the Coat of Arms, which was stamped on his watch fob. This Coat of Arms is beautifully carved in walnut and was made in Switzerland. It is to be the "official" Coat of Arms of the University and hangs above Dr. Jacobs' desk in his office in Lupton Hall. "YAMACRAW" "\amacraw" is a native Georgia word; it is the name of a tribe of Indians who lived near the bluff where Oglethorpe first landed. This bluff was called "\ama- craw Bluff" and is today just outside of Savannah. It was on this bluff that General Oglethorpe negotiated treaties with the Indians which caused them to move and to settle along the banks of the Chattahoochee. Several appropriate names were suggested for our first Annual, but none ot them carried with them the associations of the old word "Yamacraw"; and since the publication of the first Annual ro more fittinn; name has been found. Y A Ivl A C R A W 1 \^ V A N-^ ," C P_ A W Dedicated to The Mothers of The Senior Class of 1923 Who taught us our prayers, our faith in God, And showed us the path that true men should trod. Who taught us to travel the Road of Right, And to carry truth's banner day and night. No man lives who can total their ivorth. Toiling for us from the time of our birth. Their hearts are alike, their souls are pure white. And gleam like lilies throughout all the night. Our MOTHERS, our Wonderful MOTHERS! Foreword ^DTff^^W *'^^* Annual, which is the informational ^^ I ,^m^l; medium of the Class of 1923, we wish that )@i/@- '^ were possible to make you feel the class '-- i'^_',* spirit, see the cordial relationship of pupil and injtructor, hear the vociferous acclamations ac- corded our athletic heroes and withal touch the springs of college life, but we find it beyond our power by word or pen to convey to you a vivid picture of its meaning. In our own way we have tried to make this publica- tion worthy and acceptable. Realizing its imperfections we only ask that you read it impartially, sincerely hop- ing that it will meet with your approval. Cognizant always of the sympathetic attitude of friends we trust that it will ever fall into friendly hands. The Editor-in-Chief. C: The Oglethorpe Tradition IMERGING proudly and nobly from die mists of half a century our two buildings face the stream of busy life which flows along Peachtree to and from At- lanta, and point toward our unfinished Quadrangle where their brothers and sisters will some day be erected. Built with the finest materials that the world can offer and under the highest ideals that God can inspire, they speak to us of the future and of the past. They tell us of the day when Sir James Oglethorpe was a student at Corpus Christi College in the English town of Ox- ford, absorbing the traditions which were even then many cen- turies old. They tell us how this Englishman, liberator and philanthropist, founded our State of Georgia; and how, with deep insight and faithful Christianity he was the first Governor in the new world who prohibited slavery and who barred the sale of whisky from his State. They tell us why after a hun- dred years the Synod of Georgia founded a college in his name on a long, low ridge called Midway, near the town of Milledgeville. Begun in 1835, the college grew rapidly in size and impor- tance. It was the only Presbyterian college for men south of the Virginia line and became the center of a brilliant assem- blage with such names as Leconte, Woodrow, Talmadge, Beman and Baker on its roll. Among her alumni were governors, justices, discoverers, and Sidney Lanier. She imbued in her students the traditions of Oxford, the love of Oglethorpe, and the spirit of New America. Then, in '61, the war. With all the fervor of her teachings she threw herself into the defense of the Confederacy. Her boys marched out to war, her money went into Confederate bonds; and she died at Gettys- burg. Died fighting. MAC ' W But the Oglethorpe tradition was not dead such fine tradi- tions never die. Dr. Jacobs can tell you how, in the late eighties of the nineteenth century, an aged grandfather used to visit his son in South Carolina. For over eighty years he had lived the life of a professor and preacher and even now would read his testament in the original Greek. There was a little grandson who often sat near his great arm-chair to ask ques- tions and to hear stories; and one of the stories which he re- members with the greatest distinctness is that of a school which was founded many years ago, when even the grandfather was a youth, and in which he had taught when he became a man. The little boy learned to picture the classic outlines of its white Doric columns and to imagine the great college chapel which was reputed to be the finest in the United States; and more than once he said: "Grandfather, when I get to be a man I am going to Ogle- thorpe, too."' The answer was always the same, spoken in tones which were full of sadness: "No, my boy, you will never stand on the Oglethorpe cam- pus. Right, but wrong! For the Oglethorpe tradition handed down from grandfather to grandson, was too beautiful to die. The boy grew to be a man, and his love for the tradition grew into a desire to refound the college. In 1910 he commenced the work, and aided by thousands of people whom he touched with the magic wand of the tradition, Oglethorpe reopened her doors in 1916 reopened her doors to the young men of the South whose grandfathers she had taught before them. And see! The mists are lifting! Behind the first two build- ings of limestone and granite appears a level and beautiful campus. Facing the campus in the distance is a noble, towered Gothic building. It is the School of Expressive Arts, the home of Literature, Art, Music, Poetry. To the right appears the MAC W chapel, once again "reputed to be the finest in the United States." It is flanked by other majestic buildings, the counter- parts of which appear on the left of the campus green. Stu- dents move in and out of the Gothic doorways, which are cov- ered with evergreen ivy. The very buildings, grand and ever- lasting, have fallen heir to the traditions of Oxford, the love of Oglethorpe, and the spirit of old Georgia, enobling the lives of thousands in the land of Oglethorpe's dream. Oglethorpe was founded for a tradition, and through tra- dition she was refounded. Tradition and the hand of God! By J. L. J., '23. Yamacravv Staff r Yamacraw Staff Officers Murray M.
