And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.... And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.... And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.... Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. Genesis 13: 1-12

Foreword
University Week on the campus of Georgia Southern University, October 813, 1990, marked the celebration of long-sought university status and the inauguration of the Jack N. and Addie D. Averitt Lecture Series. Both events represented milestones in the academic life of the eighty-four-year-old institution. Endowed by Graduate Dean Emeritus and Mrs. Averitt, the lectureship was a gift to the History and English Departments to provide annual lectures by leading scholars in the respective disciplines. The series was designed to enhance on-campus academic and cultural life for students, faculty, and community.
Professor Averitt, a native of Statesboro, Georgia, has had a lifelong relationship with Georgia Southern. After receiving his undergraduate degree at then Georgia Teachers College, he earned the M.A. at the University of Georgia and his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina. While at Chapel Hill, Professor Averitt was named a Fulbright Fellow and served as a visiting lecturer at King's College, University of London. Having begun his college teaching career at Georgia Teachers College prior to his doctoral studies, Professor Averitt returned to his alma mater where he later became chairman of the Social Science Division. In 1968 he was appointed dean of the graduate school, a position he held until his retirement in 1979. Besides his distinguished

career as a scholar, teacher, and educator, Professor Averitt has been a successful real estate developer and civic leader. A modern Renaissance man, his talents range from music to architecture.
In 1946 Addie Dunnaway joined the staff at Georgia Teachers College as a reference librarian. A native of Clarksville, Tennessee, she graduated from Peabody College and earned a graduate degree in library science from Vanderbilt-Peabody. The Averitts were married in 1948. Accompanying her husband to Chapel Hill in 1950, Mrs. Averitt served as Director of Elementary School Library Programs, Durham City Schools, Durham, North Carolina, until 1954.
