Griffin seeks to move college of agriculture from Athens
Griffin delegation pressed a bill to separate the state college of agriculture from the University of Georgia and relocate it within the state. They argued separation would attract federal funds and justify shift to Griffin, while opponents warned the move would misuse funds and weaken agricultural education. The committee adjourned without action, with further debate planned for next Monday.
