2008 Georgia League of the South Summer Institute

Our Faculty: Dr. Clyde Wilson, Dr. Brion McClanahan, Ray McBerry, Dr. David Aiken and featuring the music of Miss Deborah Brinson; The Harp of Dixie

We will have four lectures on Saturday with a “Round Table” type Question and Answer session to wrap things up.

We will have a “dutch” Supper program on Friday night for anyone wishing to attend it.

We will meet in a reserved room at Ryan’s Restaurant (near the convention motel) at 7:00pm. Dr. David Aiken will give a talk on “Lost War Poetry” after supper. I felt we needed a place to gather for those coming in on Friday.

The Quality Inn (close to Macon State College) is offering a rate of $59.99. We have a block of rooms set aside, so please use “League of the South” when making your reservations. Phone 478-781-7000. This motel, Macon State & Ryan’s are located at or near the intersection of I-475 & Eisenhower Drive (US Hwy 80)

"The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised."
