• Milledgeville, known as Georgia�s AntebellumCapital, succeeded Louisville as state capital from1803 to 1868. Carefully planned from its inception,the city was envisioned as an appealing combina-tion of broad streets running parallel with the fourpoints of a compass and public squares of 20 acreseach. Today, in fact, Milledgeville is considered theonly surviving example of a complete Federal peri-od city.

• The Georgia Land Act of 1803 outlined a newlands system and created Baldwin, Wilkinson andWayne counties. It also provided for the locationand survey of a town that was to be calledMilledgeville, named in honor of Georgia�s then-Governor, John Milledge �1802-1806�. The Georgiastate legislature declared Milledgeville as the seatof government in December 1804.

• Milledgeville was the capital of Georgia until

April 20, 1868. Milledgeville and Washington, D.C.,are the only two cities in the country designed andlaid out to be the seats of government.Construction of the Capitol started in 1804 andcontinued for 20 years. The building was consid-ered one of the finest examples of Gothic stylearchitecture in the country. It burned in 1941, buta replica was erected and is now part of GeorgiaMilitary College Campus.

• The Old Governor�s Mansion, now a populartourist attraction, was constructed in 1838 andhoused governors through 1868.

• The state�s penitentiary site was selected in 1808and was constructed on one of the city�s four orig-inal public squares. It is now occupied by GeorgiaCollege.Georgia seceded from the Union in January 1861during a legislative session in Milledgeville. In

November 1864, Union Gen. William TecumsehSherman invaded the city and burned the peniten-tiary. He and his troops remained here for a shorttime and occupied much of the city. Following thewar, the capital was moved to Atlanta.

• Milledgeville has the distinction of being theonly city in the world to require a train to stop ata red light � which resulted in the city beingincluded in the Guinness Book of World Records.Congressman Carl Vinson, better known as Fatherof the Two Ocean Navy, lived, died and is buried inMilledgeville. Other famous residents includewriter Flannery O�Connor, who penned works ather Andalusia Farm, Vaudeville and motion pictureactor Oliver Hardy, former NFL star EarnestByner, and NFL stars Leroy Hill and Nick Harper,among others.

• Milledgeville is the home of Georgia MilitaryCollege �established in 1879 in the Old StateCapitol Building as Middle Georgia Military andAgricultural College�, Georgia College and StateUniversity, the state�s liberal arts college, �estab-lished in 1889 as Georgia Normal and IndustrialCollege� and a satellite campus of Central GeorgiaTechnical College. The world�s largest kitchen,capable of preparing approximately 30,000 mealsper day, is located at Central State Hospital inMilledgeville.

•Revered for its storied columns and Greek revivalarchitecture, Milledgeville is known for itsAntebellum history, its rich cultural contributionsand historic tourist attractions.

ied law, and was admitted to thebar in 1783. He moved to Augustain 1784, where he continued topractice law and served in theGeorgia House of Representatives.He was a member of theContinental Congress, and waselected to the United StatesSenate in 1799.

TheOld Capitol Building, then asnow, is central feature of theMilledgeville campus and sits onthe city’s highest point.

The name of the school waschanged to Georgia MilitaryCollege in 1900. Legislative actsof 1920 and 1922 severed therelationship with the University ofGeorgia and gave a local Board

total power over the operations ofthe school.

In 1930 the official addition ofa junior college division to theCollege-preparatory secondaryschool finally justified its name. In1950 the War Department desig-nated the institution a "MilitaryJunior College." Today GeorgiaMilitary College is one of only fiveUnited States Military JuniorColleges.

The Georgia Military College oftoday is made up of a two-yearliberal arts multi-campus junior col-lege and a preparatory school(grades six through 12). The col-lege is a co-educational publicinstitution operating under thedirection of a publicly electedBoard of Trustees.

Central Georgia Technical began asMacon-Area Vocational Technical Schoolwere accepted in 1966. By 1973, studentgrowth, industrial growth, and communitydemand led to the need for a new andlarger campus. This new facility, locatedat 3300 Macon Tech Drive, was complet-ed and occupied in 1978. In 1987 thename was changed to Macon TechnicalInstitute (MTI).

Throughout the years, MTI has expand-ed to reflect the changing needs of thecommunity. In July 1990 the institutionexpanded its outreach when it assumedgovernance of the Baldwin County AdultCenter in Milledgeville. In 1991 theAircraft Structural Technology program,located at 1062 Forsyth Street, moved tothe main campus.

History of Georgia Military College History of CGTC


Georgia College and State University,Georgia's public liberal arts university, wascreated by an act of the legislature Nov. 8,1889. Georgia Normal and IndustrialCollege, the institution's original name,was founded to provide a practical highereducation for women that would enablethem to enter business and industry orteaching.

Georgia Normal and Industrial Collegewas given the Old Governor's Mansion asa dormitory and presidential residence aswell as a sixteen-acre square filled withrubble from the former Georgia StatePenitentiary. In 1891 Old Main, the col-lege's first classroom building, was com-pleted. The first president, J. HarrisChappell, together with Julia Flisch, whowas now a faculty member, shaped thephilosophy and curriculum of the new col-lege. Chappell wanted an egalitarian insti-tution where, as he put it, "a millionaire'sdaughter ... could not be distinguishedfrom the poorest girl in the school." Thegirls all wore the same brown uniformsand, through a set of complex rules andregulations, were isolated as much as pos-sible from local males. The college hadsomething of the air of a convent.Chappell and Flisch also moved beyondthe industrial college mission to develop astrong curriculum in the arts and humani-ties.

In 1905 Chappell was succeeded aspresident by the energetic and charismaticMarvin M. Parks. The Neoclassicalappearance of the campus took shape dur-ing Parks's twenty-one-year tenure, andGeorgia Normal and Industrial Collegemoved beyond its tentative experimentalyears to become one of the leading normalschools in the Southeast. Parks assembleda faculty that taught such innovative cours-es as educational psychology, though hehad a more traditional view of women'ssocioeconomic role than did Chappell andFlisch. In 1917 Parks sought to gain ashare of federal Smith-Lever funds for homeeconomics extension work, and at thesame time he lobbied the state legislaturefor permission to confer four-year degrees.Both actions generated opposition from the

board of trustees of UGA. The UGAtrustees argued, correctly, that the act thatestablished Georgia Normal and IndustrialCollege gave UGA final control and man-agement of the women's college. Parkshad no intention of operating GeorgiaNormal and Industrial College as a merebranch of UGA. Cultivating powerful politi-cal allies, Parks wrested administrative con-trol of the college from UGA, and in 1922the two-year teachers' college became afour-year degree-granting institution with anew name—Georgia State College forWomen (GSCW). In 1926 Parks wasstruck and killed by a car in Tampa,Florida, but the college continued to flour-ish under a caretaker successor, a chem-istry professor named J. Luther Beeson(1927-34). On January 1, 1932, GSCW became partof the University System of Georgia, andtwo years later Guy H. Wells, a stout, nerv-ously energetic, rather rustic native ofCarroll County, assumed the presidency.Whatever his cultural deficiencies, Wellswas a gifted administrator, and despitedepression-era shoestring budgets, the col-lege flourished under his guidance, withenrollment peaking at 1,500 in 1938.Wells encouraged student participation ingovernance decisions and, together withDean Ethel Adams, created enduring tradi-tions at GSCW. The most cherished ofthese was the Golden Slipper, a competi-tion between classes to produce the bestskits and dances, which soon came to sym-bolize the sisterhood of the Jessies (thename for GSCW students). The campus was transformed during WorldWar II (1941-45) when, through the effortsof Congressman Carl Vinson, aMilledgeville resident, the college becamea training center for the Navy WAVES.From 1943 to 1945, 15,000 WAVESpassed through GSCW. The regular stu-dents felt a bit crowded, and their occa-sional resentment was expressed in car-toons drawn for the college newspaperand yearbook by Flannery O'Connor.O'Connor, who graduated from GSCW in1945, went on to become a majorAmerican writer and remains the college's

most distinguished graduate. Enrollment declined precipitously in thepostwar years, reaching a low of 585 stu-dents in 1953. Many young women con-sidered the very concept of a woman's col-lege confining and rather old-fashioned.

The decline was stabilized by two youngpresidents, Henry King Stanford (1953-56)and Robert E. Lee (1956-67). Lee came toembrace the embattled cause of femaleeducation, a crusade resulting in 1961 inthe college's third name change, to theWoman's College of Georgia. Still, manyof the college facilities were underused,and Lee, under pressure from the Board ofRegents, began preparing the college forcoeducation. The first males were admittedin 1967, the institution was renamedGeorgia College, and enrollment grewover time from 1,107 in 1966 to 4,500 in1989. The tightly knit community of stu-dents began to dissolve. Georgia Collegehad become a senior comprehensive col-lege serving the needs of central Georgia,and three-fourths of the students were com-muters. In 1977, under the leadership of J.Whitney Bunting (1967-81), the collegewas divided into schools: arts and sci-ences, education, and business; the Schoolof Nursing was added in 1987. Enrollmentin the School of Business mushroomed dur-ing the Bunting years, and the collegeestablished off-campus centers at RobinsAir Force Base and in Macon, Dublin, andForsyth.

During the presidency of Bunting's suc-cessor, Edwin G. Speir (1981-96),Georgia College began positioning itselffor regional university status. Then, in1995, the college's mission changedabruptly. The new chancellor of the univer-sity system, Stephen R. Portch, impressedwith the college's high admission stan-dards and its handsome red-brick buildingsand white Corinthian columns, suggestedthat the college might become the publicliberal arts college of Georgia, a stateinstitution that would provide the kind ofeducational experience normally availableonly at private colleges. Speir readilyembraced the new mission in 1996. In thatyear of dramatic change Georgia College,

which had served as a regional college forthirty years, now began recruiting studentsfrom all over the state—by 2003, 75 per-cent of students came from outside centralGeorgia—and began recovering its liberalarts heritage. In addition, because of anew statewide Board of Regents policy, thecollege adopted its sixth name, GeorgiaCollege and State University. This radicalshift in direction was presided over first bySpeir and his successor, acting presidentRalph W. Hemphill (1997) and then by theinstitution's first female president, RosemaryDePaolo.

Beginning with her arrival in August1997, DePaolo, whose energy and drivewas comparable to that of Parks, workedto effect an intellectual and demographictransformation at Georgia College andState University. By 2002 she presidedover a university with approximately 5,500students, 700 faculty and staff, and abudget of $60 million. From 2001 to2003, 68 new faculty members werehired, the library building was tripled insize, eight new residence halls were underconstruction, and the university was accept-ed into membership in the Council ofPublic Liberal Arts Colleges. The graduateprogram, which numbers more than 1,050students, includes a master's degree inmusic therapy and a Master of Fine Arts increative writing. DePaolo resigned in2003, and interim president David G.Brown took over July 1, 2003. PresidentDorothy Leland began her position Jan. 1,2004 and remained at Georgia Collegeuntil June 30, 2011. Following theannouncement of Dr. Leland’s departure totake on a new role at an institution inCalifornia, the Georgia Board of Regentsappointed Stas Preczewski named interimpresident at Georgia College.
