| Oglethorpe University |
Oglethorpe University opened its doors in 1835, three years after its original charter. The cornerstone of its Peachtree Road location was laid in 1915. To honor the founder of Georgia, Oglethorpe is fashioned after Corpus Christi College, Oxford, founded in 1517.
Open to the public is the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art, located in the Philip Weltner Library Building (photo). Their next exhibit, "Students Draw the Line...Against Prejudice," opens Sunday, January 16, 2001.
And while I'm talking about castles in Atlanta, there's of course Rhodes Hall (built 1904), which is actually called "The Castle on Peachtree." They too offer a phenomenal tour.
ATLANTApix of the tourATLANTA blog features a "photo-of-the-day" of Atlanta. Come back tomorrow for a new one!

Oglethorpe may have the only Gothic baseball stadium. The pinkish granite of the main buildings look very special, almost ethereal, in the mornings.
