President's Club Garden

The President's Club Garden was created in 1973 to honor those donors who gave a lot of money to UGA.  Today it's one of the most beautiful spots on North Campus.  The Garden is located behind Old College.

Old College Roommates

Located on North Campus, Old College currently houses the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. It was built in 1806 and modeled after Connecticut Hall at Yale.  UGA's first president, Abraham Baldwin, graduated from Yale.  Old College has been used as classrooms, dormitories, dining halls, and administrative offices.  In the 1830's Crawford W. Long, a pioneer in the use of anesthesia, and
Alexander Stephens, VP of the Confederacy, were roommates and lived in Old College.  A plaque commemorates the two men.  The plaque is located on the on the right side of the second floor between the last two windows.
