This is the earliest known film of the UGA campus, shot at Harold Hirsch Hall (Law School) around the time of its dedication in 1932. Harold Hirsch (UGA Class of 1901) was general counsel for Coca-Cola for many years, famous for defending the trademark unique shape of the cola's bottle. Hirsch was friends with Bill Kaliska, a Coca-Cola sales and marketing executive who had friends in Athens; on a visit to town, he shot this footage. Prominent in the group of people in the film is Coca-Cola's then Vice President in Charge of Sales, Harrison Jones (UGA Class of 1900), later president of the company. Jones was influential in donating Coca-Cola funds for the building of Hirsch Hall, and was a key player in structuring much of Coca-Cola's success.
