Early Georgia Rock College and Normal School History
A historical recount of the University of Georgia tied Rock College to the State Normal School plan. It covers the building site near the city, the cornerstone by Mt. Vernon Lodge, shifts in leadership from Professors Carroll and Charbonnier, wartime disruptions, and postwar attempts to found a state normal school with state aid debates and legislative actions in 1886 to 1895. It notes the role of Governor Northern and the University trustees in offering buildings and land, and the slow move toward teacher training for Georgia’s common schools.
