BRACK: Noah Langdale was key figure in Georgia State’s latter growth

If George Sparks shepherded Georgia State University in its middle years, the major figure propelling the university into the future was no doubt Noah Langdale. He was president from 1957 until 1988, seeing it grow from two buildings with $1.9 million budget and 5,200 students, and offering one degree, to 22,000 students and 20 buildings, a budget of $118 million and with 50 degrees in more than 200 fields. Today GSU could soon have more than 50,000 students, as Georgia Perimeter College is to merge with GSU.

Dr. Martha Johnson, formerly of Lithonia, who for years was on the botany faculty at what is now Georgia State University, donated 140 acres in her will to Gwinnett County, in what will be an undeveloped county park. The land includes 2,400 feet along the Yellow River, and borders another 56- acre county park. For more information on her, click here.

BRACK: For years, acrimony blossomed between UGA and GSU

By Elliott Brack | Back when states were planting institutions of higher learning, these universities were not always located in what became the state’s major city. As a result, problems have arisen between forces in the major city wanting a state university and the major university located in a smaller town wanting to enhance their school’s prestige.

It’s that same old story of jealously, while seeking to keep the state’s university as the major campus of the state.

Brack: Georgia State University was once a stepchild of University system

FEB. 13, 2015 — Now that the Board of Regents have decided to merge Georgia State University with Georgia Perimeter College, GSU will soon total more than 50,000 students, and will be the largest unit of the University System of Georgia. Not only that, but it is an urban university, as well as a research university, bringing in $58 million in 2011 in grants for study. It has conferred 192,785 degrees since its founding.
