ATHENS - Former Georgia Governor Carl Sanders has given one million dollars to the University of Georgia law school. <br>
<br>
In making the announcement Wednesday, the university said the gift will create a Carl Sanders professorship in political leadership. Also, the main reading room in the law school library will be named for Sanders, who graduated from there in 1948. <br>
<br>
UGA President Michael Adams called Sanders ``one of the all-time great champions of education in Georgia.'' <br>
<br>
Sanders was governor from 1963 to 1967, when the law school library opened. Sanders has donated to the law school for years, creating a library fund in 1987 and giving $125,000 on his 70th birthday in 1995. The Democrat also has donated his gubernatorial papers and photographs to the library.
