In Memoriam George William Mathews, Jr. Mathews Athletic Center Benefactor Businessman, philanthropist, servant leader, and
former Wesleyan Trustee George William Mathews, Jr., of Atlanta, GA, died on January 2, 2016. The Wesleyan community will remember George Mathews, Jr., for his generosity in establishing a trust in 1994 to fund the Mathews Athletic Center on campus. His gift, made in honor of his late sister, Mary Ann Mathews Pease (class of 1944), his mother, Weeta Watts Mathews (class of 1919), his grandmother, Annie MacDonnell Mathews (class of 1888), and his aunt, Helen Mathews Luce (class of 1911), has touched the lives of hundreds of Wesleyannes and members of the Macon community by providing athletic and health club facilities since the Center opened in 1999. For the past 17 years the Center has served as the athletic heart of the College. Wesleyan students have enjoyed using the complex, which includes soccer and softball fields, an outdoor track, lighted tennis courts, and fitness center. It is home to the NCAA Division III
Wesleyan Wolves athletic teams who play on its fields. Students and local community members also benefit from yoga, Pilates, aerobic workouts, and cycling classes, among other classes offered year round. Located in the quiet setting of the Wesleyan Arboretum, with views of scenic Foster Lake and Wesleyan’s Nancy Ellis Knox Equestrian Center, the Mathews Athletic Center always will reflect the vision and foresight of its benefactor. Thank you, Mr. Mathews! George Mathews received the BS degree from Georgia Institute of Technology and the MBA degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. His long and distinguished business career culminated as founder and chairman and CEO of Intermet Corporation in Atlanta. The WCAA sends condolences to his family – wife Jane and their children, Kathleen and George, III.
