History
The University of Georgia was incorporated on January 27, 1785, by the Georgia General Assembly, which had given its trustees, the Senatus Academicus of the University of Georgia, 40,000 acres (160 km²) for the purposes of founding a college or seminary of learning.[16] The Senatus Academicus was composed of the Board of Visitors and the Board of Trustees with the Georgia Senate presiding over those two boards. The first meeting of the universitys board of trustees was held in Augusta, Georgia on February 13, 1786.[17] The meeting installed its first president, Abraham Baldwin, a native of Connecticut and graduate of Yale University. Baldwin was one of the forty signers of the United States Constitution. Many features on the University of Georgia campus resemble the campus of Yale.
