UGA Chapel, June 1899

Title

UGA Chapel, June 1899

Description

This photograph shows the University of Georgia Chapel in June of 1899. Prior to 1913, the Chapel's bell stood on the roof of the building; it was removed to the rear of the building (where it currently stands) during renovations in that year. The tradition of ringing the bell following victories can be dated to November 1894 after a 10-8 victory over archrival Auburn.

This photograph is taken from the Atherton Seidell photo album, UA0030. This album documents Athens and the University of Georgia during the period of 1898-1899.
