Those who have been a part of Augusta College for numerous years look back at the cracked mortar, the crumbling bricks, the Civil and World War relics, and the chipped, faded paint with a touch of nostalgia. A few steps ahead our hearts fill with pride as stately brick buildings rise from the ground, expansive tennis courts are laid, and parking lots are shaved out of once-wooded lawns. A C continues to achieve a more advanced and varied academic program to meet the vast demands of higher education. 18

i jaaSk . — - v i. , 0he walls of the fort are still sturdy, but they surround a peaceful garden for displays of academic life. The building that once housed designers of weapons now houses interpreters of music and teachers of art. The transition took almost one hundred and thirty years, but it came abruptly in 1957 when the Army relinquished the arsenal to the county, then to the State of Georgia for the expanding junior college. Within seven years, Augusta College grew into a senior institution of the University System of Georgia. The junior college already had a tradition of performance and achievement dating from 1925, but the expansion of the community and the state and the demands for higher education resulted in the Board of Regents in 1963 authorizing Augusta Col- lege to grant the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Science, and the Bachelor of Business Administration degrees. It was now up to the people of the state. Through their elected officials, they responded immediately and $1,500,000 was granted. The already sturdy buildings that once housed machines for the manu- facture of weapons were converted into classrooms, laboratories, and a library. Every year the face of Augusta College changes— sometimes slowly, sometimes rapidly. The classrooms and laboratories provide the method for improvement of the mind. The library is a place for the hard work of intense concentration and study. The social realm gives us an outlet and a chance for close rela- t ionships—all forming a special purpose. This, integrated with the pride of the best of a heritage steeped in history, is Augusta College today. m mmj i 17
