Theda Perdue, UGA graduate and award-winning author of Cherokee Women: Gender and Culture Change and several other books, gave the Lothar L. Tresp lecture March 29. She focused on the removal of the Cherokee Indians from Georgia:
“Why did we want to get rid of these Cherokee Indians? These were law-abiding people; they did not steal or rob, and they certainly did not scalp us. . . . Some of the reasons deal with the politics of land and the trend toward more democratic governors, along with the shift of popular attitudes toward most Indians and their removal.”

Christopher Smit, professor emeritus of food science, delivered the Woodroof Lecture for the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences on April 6. Some highlights:
On the success of the food science department: “One can only speculate as to the dreams of Dr. Woodroof, but I am confident that we have succeeded in making them all come true.”
On the importance of extracurricular activities: “Formal classroom exposure alone can never meet all our expectations for the education of our students.” |
