w k.m ' OF 4 ® TRAE TRADITION hat better word could there be to describe the Uni- versity as a whole? The word tradition takes our thoughts back to 1785, the tin e of this in- stitution ' s establishment. Since that time, stories have been told and passed down through the generations; ideals have been up- held b y students; and the heritage and style of our founders have continued in the classroom and in the life styles of the University community. Perhaps the greatest and most supported tradition that is still in conversation today is the rule for- bidding freshmen to walk under- neath the Arch. This custom was started when a young man re- fused to walk underneath the symbolic entrance to the Univer- sity until he had earned his diplo- ma. Although it was sometimes extremely difficult, such as the time his group of cadets marched through the entrance, he held tight to his vow until he received his diploma in 1909. This idea spread among the students, and now very few freshmen dare to walk underneath the Arch. Some students even wait until their commencement day when they can symbolically leave the Uni- versity. In the early 1800 ' s, a favorit e pastime among the men was de- bate. The Demosthenian Society met with competition when the Phi Kappa Society emerged. Great debates and fierce competition took place when the two organiza- tions would discuss such contro- versial topics as Should the South secede . With the renewal of Phi Kappa in the spring, debate between the two societies will once again become a tradition. For 125 years, the Greek Com- munity has upheld standards of high scholarship, service to oth- ers, and close friendships within the individual chapters. A change in tradition occurred with the death of UGA IV, Febru- ary 26, 1990. Our new beloved mascot was able to step right in and carry on the timely tradition of his forefathers. Every student, alumnus, faculty member or Athens resident knows and holds dearly the fine traditions of our school. Tradi- tions are a true Accent of Georgia. — Georgia House J OPENING !
