The future Ogelthorpc? No. but it could have been as of the plans drawn in 1913 for the expansion of the campus. Lupton, Hearst. Lowry and part of Faith were built before these plans were abandoned. Married student bousing? A natatorium? Community Faculty housing? This couldn ' t be Oglethorpe, could it? These were the plans for expansion drawn up in the 1940 ' s. Realizing that Milledgeville was no longer going to be the hub of Georgia, the present administrators tried unsuccessfully to relo- cate Oglethorpe into Atlanta in 1871. It was eventually moved successfully to At- lanta in 1915. • fc If MASTER PLAN 0(i SnEETZANPHHAOFIEI-n -U MK EDWABt) I- OAfOHLRTY TRAfKrC PLAWNINQ ASSOCIA-ii- 1 - ATUNTA .rOlT Y .

Something Old, Something New And Something From the Future? This memorial marking the site of old Og- lethorpe University was erected in 1931. The stones used in the base of the marker were foundation stones from the old univer- sity. Central Hall was the main campus building at Midway. It contained a large Chapel which was surrounded by faculty offices, classrooms and a library. It also contained a museum in its basement. A far cry from present day Oglethorpe dorms, this is the only remaining one of the original twelve two-room dorms at Midway. Formerly there was no door in the center. Each room measured 18 feet by 18 feet. There were six of these dormitories in a row on either side of the campus, in front of Central Hall. HISTORY OF BUILDINGS 3

Ever wondered why you have to go outside to get from the financial office to the Ca- reer department? When James Lupton gave money in 1920 for the building he had it erected in three parts. The part with the bell tower was to be in memory of his moth- er, the middle part was in honor of his wife and the third part was to be an inspiration to his son. The main campus as it stood in 1963 with the temporary science building and no Traer. who also happened to be a faculty member. Its basement was used for the Medical School at Oglethorpe and was later used for the science facility until the temporary wooden structure was erected for the science department. The addition of the buildings was completed with Goslin Science building in 1971. There have been many plans to expand the present cam- pus but as it stands now the campus will prob- ably remain the same forever. Something Old, Something New And Something From the Future?
