The University Chapel and Library Traditions
The article recalls the University of Georgia chapel struck by lightning and the historic Toombs Oak near the central campus. It notes the old chapel’s role as Phi Kappa Society meeting site and prankster bell clappers, then highlights the University Library’s age, holdings, and relics including Johnston’s writing desk. It ends with calls to build a larger auditorium and library and to consider an alumni hall funded by the alumni fund.
