  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Armstrong Atlantic State University
With the assistance of a local state legislator and Armstrong alumnus Frank Cheatham negotiations began in 1957 to obtain state funds for the college.
Although the college built, bought, or "borrowed" six buildings close to the Armstrong mansion (using the Georgia Historical Society as its library), plans for new, more modern facilities provoked strong objections from historic preservationists, who feared the effect on Savannah's traditional squares and architecture.
The joint graduate program of Armstrong State College and Savannah State College was a central feature of Georgia's effort to persuade the federal courts that the state was in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

 Long Gray Lines: The Southern Military School Tradition, 1839-1915, by Rod Andrew Jr.. Introduction.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Instead, southern colleges organized themselves on a military basis much like West Point, Annapolis, Virginia Military Institute (VMI), and the Citadel, requiring their male students to be habitually in uniform, join a corps of cadets, and subject themselves to constant military discipline.
College administrators responded, on one hand, by forcefully reasserting their authority but also, on the other, by making some concessions to democratic ideals of self-government.
But while northern and western colleges often managed to meet this requirement in a halfhearted way by instituting a few drills per week, the southern white land-grant colleges drew upon the antebellum traditions of VMI and the Citadel, as well as the powerful cultural icon of the Confederate soldier.
