Flashback: This month in colonnade history
In the spring of 1968 the student activities fee budget was released, charging $75 to upperclassmen and $100 to underclassmen. “Spectrum,” the Georgia College annual yearbook, was given over $12,000. For the 2010 spring semester all students were charged the same student activities fee of $100, plus an emergency fee of $150. “The Spectrum” yearbook is no longer being published.

In February 1927, the university’s literary guild sponsored the creation of a new on-campus magazine. “The Corinthian” was to be “a monthly magazine wholly given over to articles of a literary nature.” The magazine’s first publication was Feb. 10 and featured essays, sketches, short stories and poems. The editor-in-chief was Virginia McMichael. “The Corinthian” had high expectations for its contributors, expecting them to become poet laureates and noted authors.
