Interview with Dan Magill, Part 2, May 9, 2006

Magill remembers Athens and the University of Georgia while he was a student there in the late 1930s and early 1940s, particularly the University’s cavalry and the locations of its athletic fields. He discusses how UGA became the semi-permanent host of the NCAA Division I Tennis Championships and the site of the Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame. He talks about some of the memorable men he met while working at UGA, including Jim Whatley, “Spec” Towns, William Tate, and Dean Rusk. He also remembers his classmates who died while serving in World War II and his efforts to erect a memorial on campus in their honor.
