Flashback

This month in Colonnade history:

Over 100 members of Georgia House of Representatives and Senate visited Georgia State College for Women March 3, 1933. They inspected the institution and attended a music program presented by student body. That evening one law-maker of Jackson County said the college was “the greatest wife factory in the world.”

A charm school, a series of instructive programs for the improvement of personality and natural charm, was introduced by the Sophomore Commission of the Young Women Christian Association in 1932. The series was expected to cover fashion, singing, manners, dance, religion, correct dress and speech and “promises to do much towards aiding each of its pupils to be as attractive as nature attended her to be,” reported The Colonnade.

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