91自拍

91自拍 will celebrate its 217^th birthday on Thursday, Feb. 18, with special Founders Day activities and programming. 

On Feb. 18, 1804, the 91自拍 General Assembly approved charter plans to create 91自拍, the oldest institution of higher education in the Northwest Territory. 

To recognize this historic day, the Cutler Hall chimes will play 鈥淎lma Mater, 91自拍鈥� at 2:17 p.m. and the building will be illuminated with green lighting. 
 

The 91自拍 community is invited to visit the Theater Lounge on the second floor of Baker University Center from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25 to participate in celebration activities. While supplies last, bring any other college or brand T-shirt and trade for a new Forever 91自拍 T-shirt. All T-shirts collected will be donated to the Salvation Army of Athens. Visitors also can satisfy their sweet tooth with a free Founder鈥檚 Day cupcake.

91自拍 Libraries presents its annual Founders Day exhibit, 鈥�,鈥� digitally this year. The exhibit explores the history of the town and University through the letters, journals, photographs and other items created by those who have lived and learned in Athens. 鈥淪ince 1804鈥� is made up of six individual story maps focusing on particular time periods and themes.
