Mr. Angel Monument

Mister Angel, the first English bulldog to serve as mascot to the University of Georgia, is buried near this spot. He spent many hours playing in the backyard of his owner, Dr. Warren A. Coleman. Coleman's white-columned Colonial-style home once graced this lot, which now houses the Bank of Eastman.

Mister Angel served UGA as mascot from 1944 until his young mistress, Marie Coleman Wilson, graduated in 1946. His beautiful appearance and captivating personality inspired the athletes of the University of Georgia to insist English bulldogs remain as the school's representative. Today, the breed has become one of the nation's most famous collegiate symbols.
