Biographical History
William Letcher Mitchell (1805-1882), lawyer, educator, and trustee at the University of Georgia, resided in Athens, Georgia.
William Letcher Mitchell of Athens, Ga., was a lawyer; chief engineer of the Western & Atlantic Railroad; graduate, trustee, and professor of law at Franklin College (later the University of Georgia); and active Presbyterian and Mason. He was married twice, first to Sarah Caroline Neisler, and upon her death to Lucia Bass. Mitchell had nine children.
Alonzo S. Church was born April 9, 1793 and died May 18, 1862. Alonzo Church joined the faculty at the University of Georgia as a professor of Mathematics while a Presbyterian minister. He later became president of the University of Georgia from 1829-1859. A stern disciplinarian, Church's puritanical ethos clashed with the student body, resulting in periods of campus unrest in each decade of his tenure. Additionally, he clashed with Joseph and John LeConte who refused to serve as disciplinarians of the student body. This series of confrontations led to an erosion of attendance. As a result of the crisis, a commission was formed which produced the Mitchell Report of November 1855. They advocated the creation of a school of science, law, teacher education, and agriculture, as well as the addition of a professor of modern languages to the faculty.
