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.
Feb. 5, 1968
Vol. 43, Issue 6

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.

Issues of The Colonnade from 1925 to 1975 are now available to be viewed on microfilm in the library.
