Early life and educationSusan was born in Greenwood, Florida.[3] She was the granddaughter of Florida governor John Milton, so Susan was exposed at a young age to the life of politics.[1] She attended the Lucy Cobb Institute for college, where she also met her husband.[1] Georgia College & State UniversitySusan Atkinson was encouraged by one of her friends, Julia Flisch, to help open another college for women in Georgia. In 1889, Atkinson created a petition for the state of Georgia to open a college, so her husband presented a bill to the House of Representatives that finally passed.[4] After Milledgeville was selected as the site for the college, it was founded in 1890 as Georgia Normal and Industrial College. The school's name was later changed to Georgia State College for Women and then finally to Georgia College & State University.[1] When the college was founded, William was named Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Susan became the President of the Board of Visitors.[1] Personal life and legacySusan Cobb Milton married William Yates Atkinson in 1880. She was widowed when William died in 1899. The Atkinsons had six children together. One of their sons, William Yates Atkinson Jr.[5], became a justice of the Georgia Supreme Court. Georgia Normal and Industrial College honored the Atkinsons by naming a building in their honor.[4] Atkinson Hall is now the building for the School of Business at Georgia College.
