"Educational Excellence in a Personal Environment"

Gill Fountain

 

The Bonner House, built by Thomas Bonner in 1843, is the oldest building on the UWG campus.

 

 

It served as the first women's dormitory for the A&M school, and has since been used as the residence for WGC's Dean of the College, and in a number of other roles.

 

The house originally stood on the hilltop on Front Campus Drive, in front of the present site of Adamson Hall, but was moved to its present location in 1916.

 

Dr. James E. Boyd, who served as West Georgia's third president from 1961-1971, was also one of the original junior college faculty members in 1933.
