From Ahmedunggar to Lavonia:
Presidents at the University of Georgia 1785-1997

"The Crown of a President of a College is indeed a Crown of Thorns."
Josiah Meigs

The Hargrett Library has mounted this exhibit to honor the past presidents of the University of Georgia and to bid farewell to President Knapp who will be leaving the University to pursue a post in the Clinton Administration.

The images in this digital exhibit differ somewhat from the physical exhibit which will remain in the Turner Gallery until the beginning of March, 1997.
