Emory Junior College Campus Building Valdosta Georgia Postcard

Description: Vintage Postcard Emory Junior College Campus Building Valdosta Georgia Wall News. On Sept. 26, 1928, Emory Junior College of Valdosta, Georgia welcomed its first class of fifty freshmen. Tuition was $50 per quarter. With no existing dorms, students sought housing at the privately owned College Inn and in family homes throughout the town and the nearby campus of Georgia State Women's College. The onset of World War II caused the already modest enrollment to plummet, as scholars became soldiers. A delegation of Emory administrators traveled to Valdosta to suggest that the school close. The school reopened in 1946 with a record enrollment of 247, buoyed by an infusion of students on the G.I. Bill and an aggressive recruiting drive. However, the Valdosta campus' fate was sealed when Georgia State Women's College, renamed Valdosta State College, admitted men in 1950. By 1953, just sixty-five students remained. Emory's South Georgia Division closed in 1953, and in a final ironic twist, its facilities were given to its chief competitor, the University System of Georgia, and became part of Valdosta State College, now Valdosta State University.
