DEDICATION We, the students of Augusta College, dedicate our 1961 WHITE COLUMNS to Mr, Charles Guy Cordle. Mr. Cordle, please accept this dedication as a symbol of our lasting appreciation. Your inspired teaching and many other services to us and our school have made you not only a part of Augusta College, but of Augusta College's history as well. AUGUSTA COLLEGE The history of Augusta College is like that of any school established over a period of years in so far as facts and dates are concerned; but there the similarity ends. Our history is unique in that it represents people their interests, efforts, and results. This fact was first demonstrated in 1910. Realizing the values in further instruction for residents of this area, the Richmond County Board of Education add- ed one year of college curriculum to the four-year high school, the Academy of Richmond County. This addition was just the starting point for people who under- stood the meaning and application of progress. Fifteen years later another year of college work was added and in 1925 the Junior College of Augusta was of- ficially founded. Classes began in the school session of 1926-27 and were held in the new Academy building. The new Junior College was given accreditation which it has maintained to the present. The people of Augusta were constantly seeking the betterment of their Junior College. When in 1955 the historical Augus- ta Arsenal closed; the Bodrd of Education applied for a property deed, in two years' time receiving 4,463 acres of land and thirty-four buildings. Also in 1957 the Board sought entrance for the Junior College of Augusta into the University System of Georgia. This meant the school would become a state-supported in- stitution presided over by the Board of Regents. With the approval of its entrance in 1958 the name of the school was formally changed to Augusta College. Augusta College acquired more property in 1959 and added extension work of the Augusta Center of the University of Georgia to its curriculum. Renovation of the newly- accquired property for a completely new campus began in the spring of 1960. Up- on its completion in the fall of that year classes officially opened in Augusta Col- lege's new home. People have made our school; and it is to these people from draftsman to dean, from painter to president that we owe our gratitude for a school in which we are able to take pride. * V ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT DR.

The troops were the "Augusta Volunteers"; and the State Flag was a white field with a lone red star. The surrender was accomplished without bloodshed at 3:00 p.m. on that day. On January 24th, 1961, Augusta College commemorated this event with a flag-raising ceremony the new (50 star) United States Flag and the Georgia Flag. Preceding the raising of the flags. Dr. Robins read an account of the surrender from Mrs. Florence Fleming Corley's book, "Confederate City- Augusta, Georgia." (Mr. Cordle of Augusta College's faculty aided Mrs. Corley in research on the book.) A salute was fired from the campus Civil War Cannon; and the flags went up as the ARC Band played "Dixie." The Centennial Observ- ance marked the first occasion in Augusta College's history on which the state and national flags have flown together; and the first occasion in one hundred years on which the Georgia Flag has flown over our campus. 115 Dr. Gerald B. Robins, president of Augusta College, making his speech at the Cen- tennial Ceremony. 116 The Rev. Grady S..
