REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
ROBERT 0. ARNOLD, CHAIRMAN COVINGTON, GEORGIA
Honorable Herman E. Talmadge Governor, State of Georgia State Capitol Atlanta 3, Georgia My dear Governor Talmadge:
In accordance with the provision of Section 32-12 9 of the Code of Georgia, I herewith submit to you a report concerning the activities of the University System of Georgia for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1952, and ending June 30, 1953.
Sincerely,
Robert 0. Arnold

REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR OF
- THE UNIVERSIT. Y SYSTEM OF GEORGIA 1952-53 Academic Year
To THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS
OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA:
I have the honor to submit to you a report on some of the activities of the University System of Georgia for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1953.
It is impossible within the limits of such a report as this to describe in detail the many and varied activities of the University System and its sixteen component institutions. I shall, therefore, undertake to set forth only the more significant facts about the operations of the System and indicate the trend of developments. The presidents of the several institutions have prepared reports regarding the operations of their respective institutions. Some of these reports have been published and others are on file in the office of the Board of Regents. From these annual reports and from various interim reports, the members of the Board may secure any additional information that they may desire regarding any institution or any phase of the work of the System.
The general welfare of our people is today more dependent than ever before on the work that is done in our colleges and universities and on the influences that go out from these institutions. Our experiences in the Regents' office convince us that the rank and file of the people of Georgia are gradually becoming more and more conscious of the truth of this statement. This explains, to a great extent, the increasing concern of various groups about the scope and quality of various institutional programs and it explains, too, the growing demands for new services in the fields of instruction, research, and extension. The aim of the University System is to be of the greatest possible service to the people of our State and country. We believe that, within the limitations set by our resources, the University System is making great progress toward the attainment of its general and specific objectives. We realize, however, that there are no exact standards by which to measure the effectiveness of a college or university program. It is our duty to tell the governing board of the System and the people of Georgia about our hopes, our plans, our failures, and our achievements. On the basis of these facts those to whom the University System belongs may decide for themselves whether the System
2

and its institutions are operating properly and whether they are making the progress that they should make. If those who read this report and study the affairs of the System believl!" that the System is serving the State welL then those of us who work in the System will be pleased. Regardless, however, of any pride that we may feel because of past achievements, we shall never be satisfied with conditions as they exist. We shall strive always toward greater accomplishments in our service to the people of Georgia.
STUDENTS
STUDENT ENROLLMENTS
Since the veteran students who came to our institutions after World War II began to leave, there has been a steady decline in the numbers of students enrolled in our institutions. This downward trend was accentuated during the past two or three years because of the fact that many of the public schools of the State were in the process of a transition from eleven-year to twelve-year programs. There was no graduating class in the year in which the transition was made. From 195051 to 19 51-52, there was an enrollment decrease of approximately 17%. It was stated in the Annual Report for last year that there was reason to believe that the bottom of the downward trend had been reached and that the enrollment for 19 52-53 would be approximately the same as for 19 51-52. The accuracy of this statement is confirmed by the actual enrollment figures for 1952-53. The cumulative enrollment of resident students during the regular nine months' session of 1952-53 was 20,576 as compared with 20,449 during the preceding year. The average enrollment of full-time equivalent resident students during the regular session of 19 52-53 was 15,458 as compared with 15,312 during 1951-52. It should be pointed out that from 1951-52 to 1952-53 there was a drop of 996 in the enrollment of veteran students and an increase of 1,123 in the number of non-veteran students. The total number of non-veteran students registered in the 1952-53 nine months' session was 17,780, which was the highest in the history of the University System.
The following table shows the cumulative and average enrollments in the various institutions of the University System during the regular session of 1952-53. The first column gives the number of individual students enrolled; the second column shows the average enrollment in terms of full-time students. The average enrollment of the Atlanta Division in terms of full-time students is very much lower than the cumulative enrollment because it has many part-time students.

The figures in the following table show the cumulative enrollments during the first and second sessions of the 19 52 summer quarter. As is indicated, three institutions offered no summer work for students and one institution offered courses during the first session only. Georgia Tech conducted classes throughout the summer quarter but it does not follow the practice of dividing its summer program into two sessions. Georgia Tech's enrollment, therefore, was the same throughout the quarter.

1Figures for Atlanta Division represent number of individual students, including fullMtime and part-time. No translation has been made into terms of full-time equivalent students. 2Figures for Savannah State College include 52 trades students in each session.

A comparison of the figures set forth above with enrollment figures for the summer of 19 51 will indicate that there was a decline of approximately 2, 200 during the first session. This decline was due principally to the fact that fewer public school teachers took summer school courses in the summer of 1952. The enrollment for the second session of the 19 52 summer school was substantially the same as for the second session of the 19 5 1 summer school.

BREAKDOWN OF RESIDENT ENROLLMENT

WORKSHOPS AND SATURDAY CLASSES
Some institutions conduct special Saturday classes for teachers in the schools of the State. Others offet special classes in the evenings for adults. Some institutions also conduct off-campus workshops for teachers. All courses of this type are considered as courses in residence and carry full academic credit. The University of Georgia. in cooperation with Emory University, continued to provide instruction for teachers in the Atlanta area through the Atlanta Area Teacher Education Service. The numbers of individuals registered for work of this character during 19 52-53 are shown in the following figures:

It will be apparent from the figures set forth in the tables above that approximately 33,000 individual students took some form of work for academic credit in institutions of the University System during the 19 52-53 regular session. At least 3,000 additional students took courses for credit during the summer quarter.

ACADEMIC WORK AND CONDUCT
The faculties of the institutions of the University System have continued to maintain high standards in their respective academic programs. The work of the students has been, on the whole, reasonably satisfactory. Some of the presidents have complained that graduates of some of the high schools of the State are not well-prepared for college work and that it is necessary for the colleges to offer remedial courses for the purpose of enabling students to overcome their academic deficiencies. The Medical College ;:.tlso reports that the caliber of stu-
8

dents in the first-year class during each of the past two years has been below that of entering classes in previous years. It attributes this to the fact that immediately after the war !t chose approximately 80 from a list of 450 applicants and that during each of the past two years it has selected its first-year class from a list of about 150 applicants. There can be little doubt that the vast majority of the students pursue their academic studies in a diligent and conscientious manner. Students who, for any reason, fail to meet the academic standards set by the institutions are placed on probation or suspended. During the four quarters of the 1952-53 academic year, the University in Athens placed 860 students on academic probation and suspended 220 for academic deficiencies. Other institutions have been rigid in their enforcement of academic regulations.
Student conduct outside the classrooms has, with very few exceptions, been splendid in every respect. A typical statement regarding student conduct is that of President Hoag of the North Georgia College:
"Student conduct during the year just concluded was on an extremely high level. In fact, we feel that it left little to be desired."
The excellent behavior of the students is due to a number of factors. First and most important, students in the institutions of the U niversity System come from homes in which they were taught the principles of good character and good citizenship. The colleges continue to provide for the students a wholesome social and religious atmosphere. Both inside and outside the classroom faculty members and student counselors work closely with individual students and with groups of students. Each institution fosters and promotes a comprehensive and well-organized program of extra-curricular activities. Every institution through its own religious programs and in cooperation with the churches of the community seeks to encourage the spiritual development of its students and to instill in the students proper ideals of ethics and morality. Although our institutions, because of their nature and purpose, emphasize intellectual development, they do not neglect the other essentials of a well-rounded education.
STUDENT LOANS AND JOBS
All institutions of the System report that the demand on the part of students for loans and part-time jobs was heavier during 19 52-53 than it has been in years immediately prior to 19 52-53 .. Although
9

student loan funds are small at most of the institutions, quite a number of students were given loans. The University in Athens made loans in the aggregate amount of $32,103.00 to 128 students. The Credit Union of the Atlanta Division made student loans in the amount of $40,266.00. Approximately one-third of the students enrolled in University System institutions indicated a need and desire for part-time employment. The Director of the Atlanta Division reports that practically all of the students in night classes have full-time jobs during the day. He also reports that one-half of the day students have part-time positions. At Georgia Tech it is estimated that
over 30 o/c of the students contribute something to their support while
in college. Institutions outside the Atlanta area have more difficulty in finding part-time jobs for their students. Many of them, however, are very successful in their efforts to aid students. The University in Athens placed 611 students in part-time positions. The Fort Valley State College found positions for 128 students and the Savannah State College placed 138 in part-time positions. Among the junior colleges, the Abraham Baldwin College at Tifton ranks first in the number of jobs provided for students. That institution found part-time positions for approximately 100 students but it could not make provision for all who requested aid. South Georgia College was second among the junior colleges with 50 part-time positions for students.
It is readily apparent to anyone who investigates the facts that there are each year hundreds of highly gifted high school graduates who never enter college because of lack of financial resources. Many who go to college are forced to drop out for financial reasons. Many of those who continue their college work are not able to do the work satisfactorily because an unduly large amount of their time must be devoted to the earning of their college expenses. One of the greatest wastes of human resources results from our failure to make it possible for thousands of young men and women to acquire a college education and thereby to develop their latent potentialities for service of a high order to their communities and their State. Surely this is a problem that should receive the best thought of those who have the welfare of our State at heart.
STUDENT ScHOLARSHIPS
Many institutions of the System provide limited numbers of socalled "work scholarships." Any money paid to the holders of such scholarships is, in fact, paid as compensation for services rendered.
10

"Work scholarships" are not scholarships in the usual sense of the word.
None of the institutions of" the University System provides any student scholarships from public funds. There is considerable doubt as to whether a scholarship carrying a remission of fees or a cash stipend could legally be established with State funds.
Quite a number of our institutions, however, receive gifts from private sources for the setting up of scholarships. In some instances, these gifts have been in large amounts and only the income on the money received as a gift is used for scholarship purposes. All institutions have a great need for funds for scholarships of this type. The University of Georgia holds substantial funds that were given to the institution for loans and scholarships for students. Heretofore, the University has used for loan purposes some funds that, under the terms of the gifts, could have been legally used for scholarships. During 19 52-53 the University made a careful study of its trust funds for loans and scholarships and came to the conclusion that it had an income of approximately $18,000.00 per year from these trust funds that could be legally used for scholarships. With this money the University established 100 tuition scholarships in the amount of $180.00 each. These scholarships were made available to 100 freshman students in the fall of 19 53 and will be awarded annually in the future. These scholarships are awarded by a University Scholarship Committee on the basis of the merits and needs of the applicants.
Although it is not under the jurisdiction of the University System, there is another scholarship plan established by the General Assembly of the State that deserves mention. This plan also became effective for the first time with the beginning of the 19 53-54 fiscal year.
At its 1951 session the General Assembly approved a proposed amendment to the Constitution of the State setting up a State Medical Education Board with authority to provide scholarships for medical school students. This amendment to the Constitution was ratified by the voters of the State at the general election in the fall of 19 52. The General Assembly and the Governor made available to the Medical Education Board a total amount of $41.000.00 for the 1953-54 fiscal year. From this amount the Board awarded twenty-five scholarships in the amount of $1.250.00 each. Twenty-one scholarships went to white students and four to Negro students. The four Negro students are at the Meharry Medical College. Although the recipients of the scholarships may go to any approved medical school that they
1 1

may choose, eighteen of the twenty-one white students rece1vmg scholarships elected to attend the Medical College of Georgia.
The object of this scholarship program is to induce more medical college graduates to take up practice in small towns and rural communities. For each year that a recipient of a scholarship practices in a community of 5,000 population or less, he receives a credit for onefifth of the amount advanced to him as a scholarship. If he fails to practice in a community of the type specified, he must repay to the State the amount advanced as a scholarship. If he takes up practice in such a community but fails to remain five years, then he must make a refund to the State on a pro rata basis.
It is so essential that means be found for educating students who are able and deserving but who lack funds for payment of college expenses that we trust scholarship programs may be greatly expanded in the years ahead.

NUMBER OF GRADUATES DURING 1952-53
It is the practice of some institutions to grant degrees and diplomas only at the end of the regular academic year in June. Other institutions confer degrees and give diplomas and certificates both in June and at the end of the summer quarter in August. The following figures show the number of degrees conferred and the number of diplomas and certificates granted in August 1952 and June 1953.

CHANGES IN PERSONNEL OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS, REGENTS' STAFF. AND INSTITUTIONAL HEADSHIPS
The terms of two members of the Board of Regents expired on January 1, 1953. Those whose terms expired on this date were Mrs. William T. Healey of Atlanta and Mr. Frank M. Spratlin of Atlanta. Both were members of the Board from the State-at-Large.
The Governor re-appointed Mrs. Healey for a seven-year term. To succeed Mr. Spratlin, the Governor appointed Mr. Freeman Strickland of Atlanta. Both appointments were confirmed by the State Senate.
As a member of the Board of Regents, Mr. Spratlin served well and faithfully the cause of higher education in Georgia. The State is indebted to him for the contribution that he made toward the work and development of the University System.
At the end of the 19 52-53 academic year, Dr. George Lombard Kelly retired from the presidency of the Medical College of Georgia. He had served as a member of the faculty of the Medical College since 1918 and as head of the College since 19 3 5. Dr. Kelly made an outstanding contribution to the cause of medical education in Georgia and brought the College safely through some very difficult experiences.
Dr. Edgar R. Pund was named by the Board as the successor to Dr. Kelly in the presidency of the Medical College. Dr. Pund has served on the faculty of the Medical College since 1921. His appointment was strongly recommended by his colleagues on the faculty.
On June 30, 1953, Dr. Guy H. Wells retired from the presidency of the Georgia State College for Women. Dr. Wells has had a long and distinguished career in the field of education. He had served for twenty-seven years in the University System of Georgia. From 1926 to 1934 he was President of the South Georgia Teachers College at Statesboro and he served as President of the Georgia State College for Women from 1934 to the date of his retirement.
The Board of Regents named Dr. Henry King Stanford to succeed Dr. Wells as President of the Georgia State College for Women. Dr. Stanford assumed his presidential duties on July 1, 1953. From February 1952 to July 1, 1953 Dr. Stanford had served as Assistant Chancellor of the University System.
Mention should be made of the deaths of two retired presidents during the past year.
15

Dr. M. L. Brittain, who served as President of the Georgia Institute of Technology from 1922 to 1944, died on July 1, 1953. Dr. Brittain was for half a century a.n outstan<;ljng educator of the State. He played an important role in the development of Georgia Tech into the great institution that it is today.
On January 31, 1953 Dr. Peyton Jacob died. Dr. Jacob was President of the Georgia Southwestern College at Americus from 1933 to the time of his retirement in 1948. Dr. Jacob served well his institution and his State.
Changes in personnel within the institutions of the University System are set forth in the reports of the presidents.
FACULTIES OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
Since the student enrollment for 19 52-53 remained at practically the same level as during the preceding year, the number of faculty members did not change materially. The institutions of the University System, excluding the Medical College, had 1,004 faculty members during 1952-53 as compared with 1,008 during 1951-52. It should be pointed out that this figure includes only persons who held faculty status and whose names were carried in the instructional budgets of the institutions. It does not include persons paid wholly from administrative budgets even though they may have done some teaching. It does not include faculty members in research stations, extension divisions, libraries, or practice schools when they devoted no time to the instruction of college students. Neither does it include part-time teachers, teaching assistants, and others without faculty rank.
In one of the tables that will be set forth in this section, it appears the number of persons engaged in teaching-in terms of full-time equivalents-was 985.1 during the 19 52-53 nine months' session. Persons whose salaries were paid wholly from administrative budgets, part-time teachers without faculty rank, and teaching assistants carried during the year a teaching load equivalent to that which would be carried normally by 94.5 full-time teachers. If this figure is deducted from 985.1, the total number of full-time equivalent teachers, we find that the 1,004 faculty members in the instructional budgets carried a teaching load equal to that which would ordinarily be carried by
890.6 full-time teachers. This means that approximately 11 7o of the
time of all faculty members paid from the instructional budgets was devoted to work of a non-teaching nature. In view of the fact that faculty members in the agricultural and engineering experiment sta-
16

tions, m the extension divisions, and in various organized research and public service programs are not included in the figure of 1,004 set
forth above, it is necessary that we again a.ik the institutions to ascer-
tain whether it is essential that the time of 113 persons in the instructional budgets be devoted to activities of a non-teaching nature.

RANKS AND AVERAGE SALARIES OF FACULTY MEMBERS
The following figures show the number of faculty members of various ranks at each of the institutions of the University System. The figures include only persons holding faculty rank who are included in the instructional budgets for resident teaching at the college level.

WORKLOAD OF FACULTY MEMBERS
The figures in the following table show the average number of faculty members and others who taught in each institution during the 1952-53 regular session. We have included only those who teach college students and who are paid from State funds. This excludes practice school teachers who teach students at the elementary and secondary level and it also excludes R.O. T.C. instructors whose salaries are paid by the federal government.
In arriving at the figures set forth, we have excluded the time that faculty members devoted to non-teaching activities and we have included the teaching time of part-time teachers, teaching assistants, and other persons who were not faculty members. The figures are in terms of full-time equivalents.
The second column shows the average number of students per teacher. The figures in this column were reached by dividing the average student enrollment in each institution during the regular session by the average number of persons who taught.
The third column shows the average number of teaching hours per week for faculty members in each institution. A faculty member ordinarily spends from two to three hours in preparation for each class and additional hours in consultation with students. Hours devoted to preparation for classes and to other official duties are not shown.
18

The fourth and last column shows the average number of quarter credit hours per teacher during the 19 52-53 regular session. A course that meets five times each week for a quarta- carries five quarter hours credit. If a teacher conducts such a course for twenty students, his teaching load for this course is one hundred quarter credit hours.

GENERAL COMMENTS REGARDING FACULTIES
The institutions of the University System are very fortunate in that the vast majority of the members of their faculties are men and women of vision, ability, and industry. In spite of the handicaps under which many faculty members are forced to work, the faculties as a whole are doing an outstanding job in teaching, research, and related activities. The Board of Regents, the officials of the institutions, and the people of the State are grateful to them for the splendid efforts that they are putting forth.
Four years ago it was pointed out in an Annual Report that in academic training our faculty members fell somewhat below the faculty members at some other comparable institutions in the South. This situation is being corrected very rapidly. Faculty members in ever increasing numbers are taking advanced graduate work. The Board
19

of Regents has been very liberal in approving recommendations for leaves of absence with pay for key faculty members who wish to pursue advanced studies. Many faculty 1nembers are studying during summer months or are taking leaves without pay in order to make themselves better qualified for their tasks in the System. During the past year more than two hundred faculty members took advanced graduate work of some type. Many of these persons received the highest degrees offered in their respective fields. It has become the fashion in the institutions of the System for every faculty member to strive to improve himself professionally.
Our faculties have also been strengthened by the appointment of new persons with outstanding records of achievement. The higher salary schedules now prevailing in the System make it possible for us to attract teaching and research personnel that we could not have secured a few years ago. The reports of the presidents show that some of our institutions have been able to employ teachers of great distinction. Some of these teachers have come to the University System of Georgia from some of the best known universities in the land.
Great colleges and universities can be built only by great scholars, teachers, and research workers. The administrative officers of the System recognize this fact and all are striving to develop faculties of the highest competence. The results of these efforts will become increasingly apparent as the years pass.
It must be said, however, that any further improvement in the quality of our faculties will depend to a large extent on our ability to raise to even higher levels the salaries paid to our teachers. During recent years we have made reasonably satisfactory progress in this respect. Some salary increases were made in the 19 52-53 budgets and some additional increases have been approved in the budgets for 195354. The average of all faculty salaries in the 1953-54 budgets is $4,574.00 on a nine months' basis. In 1948-49 the comparable figure was $3,473.00. During the five-year period there was an increase of
31.7 9'o. Our salaries are still low when compared with those in the
best institutions of the country-the institutions with which we must compete for the type of teachers that we need and want. If we wish to maintain the advances that we have made and push on toward greater achievements, we must in the years immediately ahead find additional money for many purposes-and particularly for faculty salaries.
20

The faculty members of the System know that the State and the Board of Regents are cognizant of their needs and will do everything possible to see that these needs <u:e met. It. is this confidence in State officials, members of the General Assembly, and members of the Board of Regents that has maintained the morale of faculty members at a relatively high level.
SOCIAL SECURITY FOR NON-ACADEMIC EMPLOYEES
Through the provisions of the Teachers' Retirement Law of Georgia and through supplementary provisions made by the Board of Regents, the teachers of the University System have been given very satisfactory retirement plans. Until recently, however, no suitable provision had been made for those who were not eligible to become members of the Teachers' Retirement System.
As was indicated in the Annual Report for 19 51-52, the voters of the State at the general election in November 1952 approved a constitutional amendment that would allow the General Assembly to permit non-academic employees of the System to obtain social security coverage. The necessary enabling legislation was passed by the General Assembly during the early part of 1953. As of Aprill. 1953 all nonacademic personnel became eligible for the benefits provided by the federal social security system.
INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM
The Board of Regents determines the areas within which each institution of the System is authorized to develop curricula and the faculty of an institution decides what courses of study shall be included within each curriculum that the institution is authorized to offer.
The Board of Regents moves very slowly in authorizing the establishment of new curricula. It is the general policy of the Board that existing programs of study should be strengthened and improved in quality before new programs are established. The Board recognizes that there are several areas in which work should be offered and in which no work is now being given by any institution of the University System. The setting up of new programs requiring the expenditure of any considerable sums of money must, however, be postponed until such time as the State appropriation to the University System is increased. In line with this policy, several institutional requests for expansions of functions were denied during the past year.
21

In two or three instances in which the need for new programs was very great and in which the cost involved was small, the Board authorized the establishment oJ new cun;,i.cula.
NEW PROGRAMS OF STUDY AUTHORIZED
A recent survey of the State indicates that there are thousands of handicapped or exceptional children who are unable to pursue profitably the usual courses of study offered in the public schools of Georgia. The General Assembly and the State Department of Education desire that the public schools provide special courses of study and types of training for these exceptional children. Money is available for the setting up of these special programs in the public schools but teachers with the necessary qualifications are not available in adequate numbers.
Because of these facts, the Board of Regents made a special allocation of funds to the University of Georgia for the setting up of a program for the education of teachers to teach exceptional children at the elementary and secondary levels. This allocation was for the 1953-54 fiscal year and the University will move as rapidly as possible toward the establishment of this new teacher training program.
There are many new hospitals and health centers in Georgia and in other southeastern states. It has been impossible for many of these hospitals to find trained directors and administrators. In an effort to relieve this situation, the Board authorized the Atlanta Division of the University to establish a special one-year program for the training of hospital administrators. This new program was offered for the first time during 19 52-53. The authorization is on a year-to-year basis. If later it should be deemed wise to establish the program on a permanent basis. the content of the curriculum will in all probability be expanded and reorganized.
The erection of many new hospitals has also created a need for many additional nurses. The Board has authorized the Georgia Southwestern College in cooperation with the Americus-Sumter County Hospital to establish a basic training program for nurses. It has also authorized the Fort Valley State College to plan with a hospital in Macon for the establishment of a nurses' training program for Negro students.
ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION AND CURRICULAR CHANGES
The faculties of the institutions of the University System realize that major curricular changes are not to be lightly made. The facul-
22

ties, however, are giving constant study to the quality and effectiveness of their curricula and, from time to time, sweeping revisions are made. The reports of the presidents indica.t:e that, in the field of curricular revision, the faculties have been unusually active during the past year. It is both unnecessary and unwise to undertake to enumerate here the various changes that have been made. Brief mention will be made, however, of some of the more significant developments.
The University has reorganized its Department of Bacteriology on a University-wide basis. The reorganized department represents a new procedure in the academic program of the University in that it integrates the instruction and research activities in three CollegesAgriculture, Arts and Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine. The persons teaching any phase of bacteriology, microbiology, and hygiene are joint-staffed in all three colleges and the facilities and space are available to all three colleges. Students may be assigned for their instruction to that class, regardless of location, in which they may receive the training most suited to their needs. For instance, if a graduate student in bacteriology in Arts and Sciences needs a course in soil microbiology or in veterinary hygiene, he may be assigned by his major advisor to one of these courses. The University is considering the advisability of reorganizing several other departments so that their educational programs may cut across college administrative lines.
During the past year the Graduate School of the University was reorganized under two divisions. There is now a Division of Advanced General Study and a Division of Advanced Professional Study. It was the belief of the faculty that this plan of organization would be better designed to accomplish the two-fold purpose for which the Graduate School exists, that is, first, to promote scholarship that is thorough, creative, independent in character and fundamental in its approach but without specific concern with its applications, and, secondly, to provide advanced training of a scholarly and effective type in the professional fields represented in the program of the University.
The College of Education and the School of Law of the University have made extensive revisions in their curricula during the past year in order to bring their instructional programs into line with the best educational thought in these professional fields.
The School of Architecture of Georgia Tech has made many improvements in its program of study and has inaugurated during the past year, under Board authorization, two new curricula. One of these curricula is a two-year graduate program in city planning and the
23

other is an undergraduate curriculum in industrial design. These expansions were made possible by a grant of funds from the General Education Board. During the past yeal""Georgia Tech also established, with Board approval, a curriculum in applied mathematics leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics. Mention should also be made of the fact that during the past year the Board authorized the Southern Technical Institute, a division of Georgia Tech, to confer on its graduates the degree of "Associate in Science."
Some of the four-year colleges of the System and some of the schools within our larger institutions have been tending in the past to abolish the requirements for foreign language study for certain degn:es. Apparently, there is now developing considerable doubt as to the wisdom of these policies. The following extract from the report of Dean MacMahon of the Georgia State College for Women deserves careful study:
"In periods of decreased enrollments, there is a temptation to lower standards in the hope of attracting a greater number of students.
"Frankly, with such a thought in mind, we abolished the foreign language requirement in our program for prospective high school teachers (our sole program in which such a requirement is applicable). As I mentioned in my last Annual Report this change was made because it was felt by some that the foreign language requirement presumably kept students from coming to the Georgia State College for Women. Actually, if one carries that thought to its logical conclusion, any subject matter that presents difficulty to a student, such as science or mathematics, falls into the same category.
"In order to retain a well-rounded program, I feel it imperative that such arguments not enter into curriculum building. At the time that we abolished the language requirement it was hoped that a sufficient number of students would recognize the value of a foreign language and that the department would be able to maintain itself. This has decidedly not been the case. Enrollment figures for the last year in Spanish alone indicate that if the present low trend of interest continues, there will be need of only a part-time instructor within another year. I consider this possibility most serious, not only because of the meagerness of the program that would be involved but because of the loss of considerable prestige to the institution."
In this connection, it is interesting to observe that the Georgia Teachers College at Statesboro is making plans to re-introduce into its curriculum courses in foreign languages.
24

The Negro colleges are continuing to make the rev1s1ons in their <:urricula that were recommended in the Strayer Report. Some of these changes were of such a nature that they eot:mld be made effective only over a period of years. The three institutions for Negro students are <:ontinuing to work together in the development of satisfactory programs of general education during the first two years. Regarding this program, President Payne of the Savannah State College makes the following comment:
"Committees representing the special areas of general education in the three Negro State Colleges-Albany, Fort Valley, and Savannah--met periodically during the past academic year to prepare outlines and procedures for a uniform program of general education. The program is expected to provide a superior basic education for all of the college students in these institutions and to facilitate the transfer from one institution to the other for the special type of concentrations offered on the senior level in the students' chosen area. In this set-up, it has been possible to limit the offerings for each institution, thereby permitting the development of strength, and reducing duplication in the special concentration areas."
The reports of all institutions contain some interesting information about curricular studies now under way. It is impossible to make specific reference to the studies in each institution. Suffice it to say that the faculties are keenly conscious of the objectives that have been set for them and that they are moving intelligently and energetically toward the building of curricula and the setting up of teaching methods and procedures that will accomplish these objectives.
ACCREDITATION
At its meeting in the fall of I 9 5 I the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools gave its unconditional approval to the educational programs of the Albany State College, the Fort Valley State College, and the Savannah State College. Negro colleges are not eligible for membership in the Southern Association. The recognition extended by the Association to the Negro colleges of the University System is, however, the practical equivalent of accreditation. In the fall of I 952 the Southern Association extended the accreditation of the University of Georgia to the Atlanta Division of the University.
The Southern Association at its meeting in the fall of I 9 53 accredited the work of the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College at Tifton. Every institution of the University System is now accredited by
25

and is in good standing with the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
On August 18, 19 52 the Council o;;' Education of the Society of American Foresters notified the University of Georgia that the University's School of Forestry had been fully accredited. The Board's recent reorganization of the agricultural work of the University System and its coordination of teaching, research, and extension work in this field were largely responsible for the School's improved position and for its becoming able to meet the standards of its accrediting agency.
On May 25, 1953 the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association voted to continue on public probation the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Georgia. The Board believes that within a reasonably short time the School of Veterinary Medicine can be brought into compliance with standards for accreditation.
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NEGRO STUDENTS
During 19 52-53 the Board continued its policy of assisting Negro students to secure in institutions outside the University System graduate and professional training that is offered in University System institutions for white students but that is not offered in any one of the three institutions for Negro students. This assistance covers the difference between the cost of attending a University System institution and the cost of attending the instituion to which a student chooses to go.
The Regents' office during the past year awarded scholarships to 1.577 individual students. Of this number, 520 were men and 1.057 were women. The aggregate amount of the scholarships granted was $147,487.18. It will be noted that this is an increase of nearly $27,000.00 over the preceding year.
Students receiving scholarships did work in forty-one different fields of study. Approximately two-thirds of the students took graduate work in the field of teacher education. The recipients of these scholarships were registered as students in sixty-seven separate institutions. The majority of the students attended Atlanta University. The Board paid to Atlanta University for these students the sum of $42,605.94 during the past year.
26

REGIONAL EDUCATION
During the past year the Board of Regents continued its contracts with the Southern Regional Education Board. Under these contracts the Regents paid to the Regional Education Board $37,000.00. Of this amount, the sum of $13,000.00 was for administrative expenses of the Regional Board and $24,000.00 was for seventeen places for Negro students at the Meharry Medical College and at the Tuskegee Institute. Places were provided for fourteen medical students at the Meharry Medical College and for three students in veterinary medicine at Tuskegee Institute.
Under its contracts with the Regional Board, the Regents received $12 7, 000.00 last year for 12 7 students in the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Georgia. These students came from the States of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. This payment of $127,000.00 went directly to the University of Georgia for the support of the School of Veterinary Medicine.
RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS
Research is a major function of educational institutions whose activities are conducted at the university level. The research worker is a person with an inquiring mind and an inquiring mind is an essential part of the equipment of a good teacher. It would be a mistake to say that research is of more importance or of less importance than teaching. Research tends to produce better teaching and teaching experiences often give purpose and direction to research activities. Research and teaching should not be separate and distinct functions: each should be complementary to the other.
There are two general types of research work-fundamental and applied. Today the strong emphasis is on applied research. One hears constantly of new and practical applications of known scientific principles. The results of applied research have profoundly affected our manner and our standards of living. We should not, however, in our enthusiasm for applied research, forget the values that are inherent in fundamental or pure research. Only an expanding knowledge of scientific principles can maintain the rate of progress that has heretofore existed in new inventions and discoveries and in practical applications of knowledge of various types. Since industry concerns itself largely with practical and applied research, advances in the realm of pure science must depend largely on the efforts of research workers in uni-
27

verSltlCS. It is the hope of the Board of Regents that the institutions under its jurisdiction will not tend to minimize the importance of fundamental scholarship and research. _
There is popular conception that it is only in the fields of the biological, chemical, and physical sciences that research can achieve any worthwhile results. And it is true that it is in these fields that research has brought the most spectacular advances in recent years. There is a growing belief, however, that the greatest need of the world today is not for more facts about the natural sciences but for more knowledge about man as an individual and as a social being. If our civilization is to survive and rise to higher levels, we must have men and women with proper ideals and attitudes and we must have people who know how to live together harmoniously and who know how to work together cooperatively for the building of a better world. We need in our universities to study man and man's relation to man. We need more research in fields that are known to scholars as the humanities and the social sciences. We should not for a moment neglect or curtail our research studies in the natural sciences but we should not ignort> the great possibilities that research in other fields holds for mankind. It is the hope of the Board, therefore, that our institutions will give proper support not only to research in science and engineering but also to studies of human beings and human relationships.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The research program of the University of Georgia is carried on through two major divisions. There is a general research program that is conducted under the direction of the Dean of the Graduate School and the Director of Research. The second phase of its research program is concerned with agricultural research. The latter program is handled through the various agricultural experiment stations.
A substantial number of the faculty members of the University were engaged in various types of research work during the past year. Out of these studies came eighty-six publications, consisting of books, monographs, and papers. Twenty-four additional publications were in the press at the end of the year. Sixty-two research papers were read before meetings of professional and learned societies. Members of the faculty of the Division of Fine Arts were engaged in creative work. There were several musical compositions and many paintings and drawings that have received high commendation. The faculty mem-
28

hers of the Atlanta Division produced twenty-six research publications during the year.
Much of the research work of the Uftiversity is conducted under the auspices of such agencies as the Bureau of Business Research, the Bureau of Educational Studies, and the Bureau of Public Administration. During the past year the Board of Regents authorized the establishment of another agency within the University. This agency will be known as the Institute of Law and Government and it will conduct research studies and provide public services in the areas with which it is concerned. The Institute of Law and Government will function .as an integral part of the School of Law and will be under the general direction of the Dean of that School. Among its other activities, the Institute expects to cooperate in the preparation of studies and reports for the General Assembly of the State, various branches of the State government, the Appellate Courts, the Georgia Bar Association, the Georgia Judicial Council. and other agencies in the State that are interested in law and the administration of justice. Another service of the Institute will be that of continuing education for practicing lawyers. State, county, and municipal officials and for others engaged in activities where legal problems frequently develop.
During 1952-53 the University received a grant of $225,000.00 from the Georgia Agricultural and Research Foundation. This grant was made for the purpose of financing a three-year research project in marine biology on Sapelo Island off the Georgia coast. Work will be carried on in several phases of marine biology and the studies should produce information that will be of great practical value.
AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS
The agricultural research work of the University System is carried on through the College Experiment Station at Athens, the Georgia Experiment Station at Griffin, the Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tifton, and various branch stations. The work of these stations is directed and coordinated through the offices of the Director and Associate Director of Agricultural Experiment Stations.
Projects of the experiment stations are conducted under the following Divisions: Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Diseases, Animal Husbandry, Dairying, Entomology. Food Technology, Forestry, Home Economics, Horticulture, Landscape Architecture, Plant Pathology and Plant Breeding, and
29

Poultry. These fourteen divisions were engaged in work on three hundred projects during the past year. The published Annual Report of the Associate Director of ExP.eriment Stfttions lists those projects and indicates the nature of each study.
All of the stations are now working as a unit. The programs of the stations are planned by the Executive Committee of each of the several divisions of the College. Close working relationships have been established with the Schools of Veterinary Medicine, Forestry, and Home Economics.
The three new branch stations whose creation was recently authorized by the Board were put into full operation during the year. These new branch stations have three primary objectives: first, research conducted on existing farm enterprises of the section served by each station to determine the best practices for farmers to follow; secondly, research on new enterprises that may bring additional income to the area served by each station; and. thirdly, studies on a farm unit basis of various farm enterprises and combinations of enterprises through a farm management research unit where the research under controlled conditions will enable stations to furnish valuable information of immediate practical use to farmers in the area.
Out of the State funds made available to the University System, the Board of Regents has been generous in its support of agricultural research. The Board's allocation for this purpose during 19 52-53 was $955,000.00. The total income of the agricultural experiment stations, including the State allotment, federal grants, gifts, and income from sales was $2.146,856.00. The Board believes that funds invested in agricultural research pay rich dividends to the State. The development of improved varieties of corn, cotton, wheat, oats, grasses, legumes, fruits, and vegetables have more than repaid the investment in agricultural research even if no consideration were given to the economic benefits resulting from nutrition studies, improved production practices, control of plant and animal diseases, and control of insects.
The experiment stations continue to provide a soil testing servtce for the farmers of the State. Last year experiment station personnel tested 40,000 soil samples from 151 counties.
During 19 52-53 the stations issued twenty-six bulletins and fiftyeight mimeographed publications describing the results of their research studies.
30

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Certain general research activities are carried on by the faculty members of Georgia Tech and a tremendous pr';gram of organized research is conducted under the jurisdiction of the Engineering Experiment Station. Both types of research activities were expanded greatly during the past year. Georgia Tech allotted $55,000.00 for the partial support of the general research program. The Engineering Experiment Station had a total income of $1.913,479.00, of which $100,000.00 was received as an allocation from the Board of Regents.
Of the total number of one hundred forty-six research projects on which the Engineering Experiment Station worked during 19 52-53.
seventy-one were initiated on or after July I. 1952. Of these new
projects, forty-two were for industry, ten were for the federal government, thirteen were supported from funds provided by the State, and six were sponsored by the Station in cooperation with other agencies. Approximately 85 per cent of the money expended during the year was for government-sponsored projects and most of these projects were strictly military in nature. In addition to its own staff of full-time workers, the Experiment Station during the past year employed on a part-time basis sixty-six faculty members of Georgia Tech, thirty-four graduate students, and sixty-nine undergraduate students.
The research studies of the faculty members and Experiment Station staff resulted in one hundred forty publications during the past year. Some of these studies were of a confidential nature and could not be published. The activities of the Experiment Station staff also led to ten records of invention and five applications for patents.
The outstanding quality of the research work of Georgia Tech was recognized last year when a chapter of the Society of Sigma Xi was established at the institution. Chapters of this Society are established only at institutions whose faculties have demonstrated a capacity for research work of a very high order. This is the second chapter of the Sigma Xi Society to be established in a University System institution. One was established at the University of Georgia several years ago. The establishment of the chapter at Georgia Tech was due largely to the efforts of sixty-seven faculty members who had been members of Sigma Xi at other institutions.
Under this section, mention should be made of the fact that the State Highway Department is constructing a highway engineering lab-
31

oratory building on land adjacent to the Georgia Tech campus. The Board of Regents conveyed to the Highway Department a tract of land to be used as a site for this buildW.g. The building will house laboratories in highway engineering, materials of construction, soil mechanics, and structural analysis and testing. Certain areas in the building will be used by the School of Civil Engineering. The facilities of this new building and the activities that will be conducted in it will be of material advantage to the Georgia Institute of Technology.
RESEARCH WORK AT THE MEDICAL COLLEGE AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS
The Medical College expects each of its departments to engage in original investigative work. Practically every faculty member is engaged in research work of some type. This work led to the publication during the past year of fifty-eight articles, books, and papers. The Medical College expended direct! y for research during 19 52-53 the sum of $146,523.87. Practically all of this money came from the U. S. Public Health Service, foundations, and private organizations interested in medical research. A list of publications and authors ts contained in the report of the President of the Medical College.
In May 19 53 construction was begun on the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital. This hospital is being erected on the campus of the Medical College. The cost of the building will be approximately $10,500,000.00 and the cost of equipment and furnishings will be in the neighborhood of $2,500,000.00. It will provide facilities for 800 patients. Upon its completion, the hospital will be operated as an integral part of the Medical College. It will not only provide excellent care for patients but it will supply the Medical College with adequate clinical and research facilities of the highest quality. We may confidently look forward to the development in Augusta of one of the outstanding medical colleges of the country and of one of the great research and medical centers.
The colleges of the System that have no graduate programs and only limited amounts of professional work have no organized research programs comparable to those of the University, Georgia Tech, and the Medical College. There are, however, many faculty members in these institutions who are keenly interested in research and who are doing some very creditable work in this field. During the past year there were nine significant publications by members of the faculty at
32

the Georgia State College for Women and eight such publications by faculty members at the Georgia Teachers College. Two members of the faculty of North Georgia Gollege are--the authors of publications in the historical and literary fields. Dr. T. Conn Bryan is the author of a book, Confederate Georgia, that appeared during the past year. This book has been widely publicized and favorably received in all parts of the South. Some of the literary works of Dr. C. C. Chadbourn were published by the New York Historical Journal and other writings were published by the Brown University Press.
Several faculty members in the institutions for Negroes were active in the research field. At Albany there were four research projects under way. There were many publications by faculty members at the Albany State College but few of these appeared in scholarly and research journals. At the Fort Valley State College eleven members of the faculty were engaged in work on twenty-one research projects. The Fort Valley State College is the land-grant college for Negroes in the State of Georgia. Some of its research projects are related to agriculture. Funds for the support of research projects of this type come in part from the budget of the agricultural experiment stations and from the Tennessee Valley Authority. There were five research publications during the year by members of the faculty of the Fort Valley State College and there were also five significant publications by faculty members at the Savannah State College.
LIBRARIES
For many years the libraries of the institutions of the University System have been weak when compared with libraries in other comparable institutions. The Board has been endeavoring to correct this situation as rapidly as possible. A new library was completed at the Fort Valley State College in 1952. During 1953 magnificent new libraries were completed at the University of Georgia and the Georgi1 Institute of Technology. The latter two buildings were formally dedicated at exercises in the fall of 19 53. To these dedicatory exercises came distinguished librarians from all parts of the country. All were enthusiastic in their praise of the new library facilities at the University and at Georgia Tech.
All institutions have in the immediate past increased materially their expenditures for books and for personal services. In several instances, the Board of Regents within the last two or three years has
33

made special allocations of funds for the purchase of library materials. During 19 52-53 the total expenditures for library purposes at all institutions amounted to $728, 118.44.. The number of volumes added to the libraries during this period was 51,108. The total number of books in our libraries at the close of the 1952-53 academic year was 785,586.
The following tables contain figures on new acquisitions, holdings, and circulation during 1952-53. The circulation figures are for the entire year, including the regular nine months' session and the summer quarter. In order to arrive at the circulation figure per student, the total circulation figure of an institution is divided by that institution's equivalent number of full-time students for the entire year.

PUBLIC SERVICES
The administrative officers and faculty members of the institutions participated actively in various community activities and enterprises. Each year they deliver thousands of addresses before school groups, civic clubs, patriotic organizations, professional societies, and other organizations of various types. Many cooperate with the State Department of Education and local educational boards in making studies
34

of the public schools. The members of few groups are more active in the civic and social life of the State than are members of the faculties of the University System.
Of even greater importance than their personal contributions to the life of the State are the services provided for our people by faculty members under various institutional programs of public service. Through these programs our institutions reach and assist far more people than they teach in classes on their campuses.
The Georgia Institute of Technology is making plans to have each of its major departments offer two or three short courses and conferences annually. In this way it hopes to assist its alumni and other interested citizens in keeping abreast of the newest developments in various fields of science and engineering. During 19 52-53 Georgia Tech conducted on its campus nineteen short courses and institutes that were attended by 1.793 individuals. Georgia Tech also conducted two off-campus programs. The Department of Industrial Education, in cooperation with the State Department of Education, conducted courses in fire-fighting and prevention and courses for peace officers in various parts of the State. The total registration in these courses was 4,916. The institution also conducted one hundred fifty-nine classes for industrial employees in thirty-two mills in Georgia. The enrollment in these classes for industrial employees was 2,365.
The Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College has a comprehensive program of short courses for farmers. These courses are conducted with the assistance of personnel from the agricultural experiment stations, the Agricultural Extension Service, and various other agencies interested in agriculture. During 1952-53 the Abraham Baldwin College offered forty-eight short courses. These courses were attended by 6,835 persons from one hundred six counties in Georgia, twenty other states, and seven foreign countries.
The "College in the Country" program of the West Georgia CoL lege has attracted national attention. Last year there were fifty-four sessions of the "College in the Country" with a total attendance of 1. 9 28 adult citizens from the area served by the College. The work of this program is enabling the citizens to build better homes and better communities and to create a better cultural and social life for themselves and their children. It is quite possible that one of the great national foundations will soon make a grant of funds for the strengthening and expansion of this program.
35

All institutions of the University System report that they have conducted programs for the benefit of the adult citizens of their respective sections. For instance, tl"le North .leorgia College held various conferences and forums that were attended by 3,070 people, the Georgia State College for Women brought 11,909 persons to its campus for meetings of various sorts, and the Savannah State College reached approximately 5,500 people.
The University of Georgia through the State-wide programs of its Division of General Extension and its Division of Agricultural Extension is in a better position than other institutions to reach the masses of the people. Many departments of the University conduct short courses and conferences without the aid of the organized extension services. During 195 2-5 3 the University and its Atlanta Division conducted one hundred thirty-six conferences, institutes, and short courses. Of this number, seventy-seven were held on the Athens campus, twenty-nine at the Atlanta Division, and thirty at other places in the State. Sixty -six of these conferences were conducted by University departments in cooperation with the Division of General Extension.
During the past year the Law School of the University conducted its First Institute on Procedure. This meeting was attended by lawyers from all parts of Georgia. During 1952-53 the Law School and the College of Business Administration conducted the Sixth Georgia Accounting and Tax Institute. With the formal organization of the Institute of Law and Government as an integral part of the Law School, this division of the University expects to enlarge greatly its program of public service.
Another development that has taken place during recent months will enable the University of Georgia to provide an even better program of service for the adult citizens of Georgia. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation of Michigan made a grant of $2,144,000.00 for the development on the University campus of a Continuing Education Center. This grant was matched by $1,900,000.00 of State funds. Governor Talmadge made a special allotment of $1,600,000.00 for matching purposes and the University put up $300,000.00 from its own surplus funds. There will be erected on the Athens campus a building providing all needed facilities for a comprehensive program of adult education. The building will contain classrooms, conference rooms, and living accommodations for approximately three hundred persons. There will also be an educational film production laboratory and an educational television station. A portion of the matching
36

State funds will be used for the completion of the 4-H Club Camp at Rock Eagle Park. The work of the new Continuing Education Center will be under the direction of Mr. H. B.-Masters, who comes to the University from the Kellogg Foundation, and of Mr. E. A. Lowe, formerly Director of the University's Division of General Extension.
If space permitted, I would mention in some detail the public services provided by the University through its Bureau of Educational Studies and Field Services, Bureau of Business Research, Bureau of Public Administration, the Georgia Museum of Art, the Georgia Review, the University Press, the Film Library, the Legislative Service of the Atlanta Division, and other agencies dedicated to the service of the people of Georgia.
Although the Agricultural Extension Service issues its own printed Annual Report, some reference must be made here to the activities of this very important agency of the University System of Georgia.
The Agricultural Extension Service is one of three divisions of the College of Agriculture. Its activities are closely coordinated with the activities of the teaching and research divisions. Through the county agents and home demonstration agents the Agricultural Extension Service makes its influence felt in every county, in every community, and in practically every rural home of Georgia.
County and home demonstration agents follow many different procedures for the accomplishment of their objectives. They conduct meetings, demonstrations, tours, and camps. They work with individual farmers, home makers, and boys and girls who are 4-H Club members.
Much time 1s devoted to the trammg of county and community leaders who are expected to share valuable information with their neighbors. Last year there were I 1,888 training meetings with an attendance of I 90,000. There were held 29,413 method demonstrations with an attendance of 383,000 adults.
Georgia's 4-H Club program is among the best in the nation. 4-H Club membership in Georgia last year reached an all-time high figure of I 26,927 members. These members completed during the year 329,000 projects. This splendid record is due in large part to the assistance and cooperation of 12,000 local volunteer advisers who work with the boys and girls. There were 24,000 4-H Club demonstrations during 1952-53 with an attendance of 752,000.

Last year at the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago, thirteen national winners and one sectional winner were from Georgia. No other State had a better record.
The new 4-H Club Center at Rock Eagle Park near Eatonton will provide facilities for 4-H Club work that will be unsurpassed by any in the nation. An educational and camping center is being developed on a 1,400-acre tract at a cost of more than $1,500,000.00. Work was completed during the year on thirty cottages and on a large recreation building. Funds are now in hand for the completion of the entire project. All of us are grateful to the Governor for the allocations of State funds that he has made available for this project. We are grateful, too, to the many private individuals and corporations that have contributed so generously for this development. These funds are an investment in the youth of Georgia of today and of tomorrow. An investment in the education and character development of youth is the finest investment that any State or any individual can make.

FINANCES
Mr. James Blissit, Treasurer of the Board of Regents, publishes each year a comprehensive report on the financial operations of the University System and its institutions. In this report, I shall mention a few of the significant facts regarding finances.

INCOME OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

The total amount of money received by the Board of Regents from

the State during 1952-53 was $12,606,236.32. Of this amount

$12,233,000.00 was received under the regular and contingent sec-

tions of the Appropriation Act of the General Assembly and the

remaining $373,236.32 was made available by the Governor for

special purposes. The following figures show the amount of State

funds received by the Board for operations, repairs, capital improve-

ments, and other purposes:

A comparison of incomes derived from student fees in 19 51-52 and 1952-53 will show that the income from this source was $645,726.30 less during 19 52-53 than it w:as during ..the preceding year. The number of students was approximately the same for each year; the loss in fee income was due to the fact that many veteran students left school and were replaced by non-veteran students.

It will be observed from the figures set forth that the educational and general expenditures of the University System for 19 52-53 amounted to $19,067,160.02, The col'fesponding figure for 1951-52 was $17,527,379.74 and for 1950-51 it was $15,780,821.07. The cost of the educational and general operations was $1.539,780.28 more during 1952-53 than it was during the preceding year.

The percentage of total expenditures for each of the phases of the educational and general programs during 19 51-52 and 19 52-53 is shown by the following figures:

The only variations that are in excess of 1 ;/a are to be found in plant operations and research. The increase in the percentage of research expenditures is explained by the fact that the Georgia Tech Engineering Experiment Station has received more money from governmental and private sources for research and by the further fact that the Board has been more generous in its allocation of funds for agricultural research. The decrease in the percentage for plant operations is due to the fact that, when funds are scarce, it is easier to reduce plant maintenance than it is to reduce expenditures of other types. This practice, if long continued, will create further serious problems of deferred maintenance. The figure that should give us some concern
is that of 38.3 o/o for instruction. This percentage has been gradually
declining. In 1950-51 this percentage was 41.3'7c~ and in 1951-52 it was 39.3%~. We must see that a somewhat larger percentage of our total available funds goes for instructional purposes.

The next table shows in the first column the State allocation to each institution for purposes that were strictly educational and general in their nature. The second column shows the average number of full-time students or their equivalent registered in each institution during the regular nine months' session of 19 52-53. The third column shows the State allocation per student on the basis of the number of students in the regular session.

43

For comparative purposes it seems advisable to include two additional columns. Most of the institutions conduct summer sessions and the cost of these sessions is pam from tht!"'education and general budgetg of the institutions. Some institutions conduct classes on Saturdays and in the evening hours for regularly enrolled students. Students in these groups are usually registered on a part-time basis. There are also other types of part-time students. In order to arrive at figures that will give more accurate comparisons of cost in the several institutions, we have taken the number of quarter hours credit of residence work offered for students of all types in each institution and we have divided this number by 50. The figure 50 is used because it represents the average number of quarter hours of credit earned by a full-time student in the University System during three academic quarters. The numbers of full-time equivalent students arrived at in this manner are set forth in the fourth column. The figures in the last column are obtained by dividing an institution's allocation for educational and general purposes by the number of students indicated in the fourth column. The figures in the last column really indicate the State allocation to each institution for offering 50 student quarter credit hours of work.

It should be borne in mind that, in making allocations of State funds, the Board considers the internal income of institutions from fees and other sources. The object of the ~ard is to see that an institution from all sources receives a total income that is adequate to enable it to perform satisfactorily the functions allocated to it. If an institution has a relatively high income per student from fees, this may be a reason for fixing the State allocation per student at a lower figure than it would otherwise be.
The comparatively high allocations per student in the junior colleges result from the fact that the junior colleges have been passing through a period of abnormally low enrollments. This situation is due to the fact that, in making the transition from eleven to twelveyear programs, many public schools have had no graduating classes in the transition year. This condition affects two-year junior colleges more seriously than it affects four-year senior colleges.
For their operating income, the institutions of the System rely not only on allocations of State funds but also on income from fees and other sources. The statement set forth on pages 46 and 4 7 of this report shows the various sources from which institutions derived income and the amount received from each source. It should be noted that one set of figures is given for all instructional divisions of the Georgia Institute of Technology, including the Southern Technical Institute.

Comparisons among institutions under the last table are difficult to make because some institutions receive substantial parts of their income from the federal government, gifts and grants, and sales and services while other institutions receive little or nothing from these sources. Mr. Blissit has, therefore, prepared another table in which he has eliminated the sources of income that are not common to all institutions and in which he shows the percentages of income derived from State allocations, student fees, and other common sources.
It will be observed that, after eliminating all variables in sources of income, there is still a considerable variation among the institutions in the percentages of income derived from the sources indicated. The percentages are closer together, however, than they have been in the
past. For instance, in 1948-49 the Atlanta Division received 91 %
48

of its total income from student fees and other internal income and only 9%; from the State. In 1952-53 only 54'fr of its income came
from student fees. In 1948-49 kss than 2.; 'J'r of the income of Geor-
gia Tech for educational and general purposes came from the State;
in 19 52-53 this figure had risen to 54.6 '7o and was more nearly in
line with the figures of other institutions. It should be pointed out,
however, that we are not seeking to bring about complete uniformity
in these percentages for the various institutions. An institution like
Georgia Tech, where 40 '7o or more of the enrollment consists of non-
resident students paying the extra fees required of non-residents,
would not be entitled to receive from the State the same percentage of
its total income as would an institution whose non-resident enroll-
ment is only 2 '7o of its total enrollment. There are other factors that
justify variations in these percentages as between the institutions.

The variations are due in part to the differences in the sizes of the institutions. For instance, the expenditures for administration in a small institution will almost necessarily be higher, in terms of percentages, than they will be in a large institution. The variations are attributable to some extent to differences in character of plants, in types of internal organization, and to kinds of service provided for students. The percentages for administration in the junior colleges are abnormally high but these will drop as the enrollments of the junior colleges increase.
The following table shows the amount, in terms of dollars, that each institution spent per student for the purposes indicated. In arriving at these figures, all types of resident student enrollment were included--enrollments in the regular session, summer session, Saturday classes, workshops, etc. The figures are based on a number of full-time students that was determined by dividing the total number of student quarter hours of work offered by an institution by 50. The figure 50 was used because it represents the average number of quarter hours of work taken by a student in the University System during three quarters. The last column in this table shows the amount that it cost each institution to provide such a student with instructional and other edu-
52

cational services over a nine months' period. From this computation, expenditures for operating practice schools for student teachers, for providing clinical facilities for medical studmts, for paying salaries of itinerant teachers of agriculture, and for other like purposes, have been excluded. Only costs of direct services to college students were taken into consideration.

All of the projects, with one exception, will be financed in full by the Building Authority. The one exception is the conversion of Memorial Hall at the University into a student center. For the estimated cost of this project the Building Authority is putting up $400,000.00 and the University is putting up from its own funds the sum of $100,000.00.

During 1952-53 the Governor allotted to the Board $300,180.74 for new construction work at the 4-H Club Camp at Rock Eagle Park. Substantial funds for this purpose have also been made available by private individuals and corporations. Work on this project, whose ultimate cost will be in the neighborhood of $1,500,000.00, was begun in June 19 52. During the past year work was completed on thirty cottages and on a large recreation building. With additional funds that have become available, the project should be entirely completed during 19 54-55.

REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS
As has been pointed out in previous Annual Reports, the physical plants of most of the institution~ of the U~iversity System have been in a bad state of repair for years. The Board has tried during the past two or three years to provide more adequately for current maintenance and it has also tried, insofar as its financial condition permitted, to take care of deferred maintenance problems.
About two years ago it was estimated that approximately $4,000,000.00 was needed at once to take care of deferred maintenance. It was estimated that an additional $3,250,000.00 was required in order to bring existing buildings of the System into compliance with the provisions of the Georgia Fire Safety Code.
For both types of repair work the Board during 1951-52 made special allocations to the institutions in the amount of $1,536,320.00. During 1952-53 the Board's special allocations for the same purposes amounted to $828,750.00. Most of the money allocated during 19515 2 was not actually expended by the institutions until 19 52-53. The report of Mr. Dewberry, Director of Plant Operations of the University System, shows that during 1952-53 major repair projects completed or under contract called for the expenditure of $1,850.798.12. In addition to these major repair jobs, the institutions financed from their own internal budgets their usual maintenance and repair programs.
During the past year the Board again made modest special allocations to institutions of the System for minor landscaping work and for the purchase of shrubbery. The Board also made a special allocation of $27,794.00 to the University of Georgia for landscaping and paving work around its three new buildings-the library and two dormitories. The aggregate amount of special allocations for the improvement of grounds was $49,794.00.
The Board made special allocations of $33,855.41 for the purchase of equipment and $87,829.33 for the purchase of land. Several parcels of land were purchased by institutions with funds from their internal budgets.
PROPERTIES SOLD AND ACQUIRED
Special mention should be made of the fact that during the past year the Trustees of Emory University deeded to the Board of Regents
57

for the use of the Valdosta State College the properties of the Emory Junior College in Valdosta. This property consists of forty-three acres of land on which arelocated arT' administration and classroom building, dormitory facilities for 125 students, a gymnasium, and a swimming pool. The facilities can be used to splendid advantage by the Valdosta State College. The Board of Regents and the Valdosta State College are deeply grateful to the Trustees of Emory University for the donation of this property.
Mention should also be made of the fact that the U. S. Navy during the past year took possession of the properties of the Coordinate College of the University of Georgia. The University was authorized in June 1952 to sell this property to the Navy for $450,000.00. Reference to this authorization was made in the Annual Report for 1951-52.

GIFTS
During 19 52-53 the institutions of the System received gifts and grants valued at $1,458,932.82. Detailed lists of these gifts, together with the names of the donors, are listed in the annual reports of the presidents. We regret that space limitations prevent our setting forth the names of all donors and the purposes for which their gifts were made. We shall indicate the amounts that each institution received and shall make brief reference to some of the major gifts.

Mr. Richard J. Reynolds, through the Georgia Agricultural and Research Foundation, made a grant of $225,000.00 to the University during 1952-53 for a three-year marine research project on Sapelo Island. Since no portion of this grant will become available before the 1953-54 fiscal year, the grant is not included in the figures given for the University. The figures do not include $10,000.00 made

60

available to the University by the University of Georgia Foundation for supplementing the salaries of outstanding faculty members.
The figures of the University do include the first installment of $34,000.00 paid under an eight-year grant of $250,000.00 for the Department of Art. Also included in the figures is the first installment of $23,000.00 paid under a five-year grant of $150,000.00 to strengthen the work of the Graduate School.
In addition to the cash gifts listed, the University received various gifts of machinery, supplies, equipment, and books. More than 4,300 books were received by the University and its Atlanta Division.
Major gifts to the Georgia 4-H Club Foundation for development of the Rock Eagle Camp included $10,000.00 each from the Atlanta Clearing House Association, Atlanta Newspapers, Inc., W. C. and Sarah H. Bradley Foundation, Colonial Stores, Inc., and the Emily and Ernest Woodruff Foundation. Gifts of $5,000.00 each were received from the American Turpentine Farmers' Association Cooperative, the City of Eatonton, and the Putnam County Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues.
Georgia Tech received gifts and grants in the amount of $5,000.00 or more from the following sources: B. Miffiin Hood Estate, $23,933.34; City of Atlanta, $25,000.00; Fulton County, $25,000.00; General Education Board for library, $10,000.00; General Education Board for School of Architecture, $75,000.00; Mr. Price Gilbert, $7,500.00; National Science Foundation, $12,500.00; Gas Fuel Technology Foundation, $5,985.00.
Included in the list of gifts to North Georgia College is a gold coin collection donated to the institution by Mr. H. A. Alexander of Atlanta. This collection, valued at $5,000.00, contains one specimen of each coin minted at the Dahlonega mint during its years of operation.
Because no valuation was given, the figure of the Georgia Southwestern College does not include various books that were given to the institution. For the same reason, the figure of the Fort Valley State College does not include a public address system that was donated by the Class of 19 53 for use in the auditorium.
In addition to gifts made directly to institutions, substantial contributions were made to the Alumni Foundations of the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech by the alumni of the respective institutions. To the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, 5,665 alumni contributed
61

$57,790.00 during the past year. In the same period approximately 4,200 alumni of the University of Georgia gave to the University Foundation about $60,008:00.
NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
Annual Reports for past years have carried various statements of the needs of the University System and its institutions. It would serve no good purpose to repeat here public statements of needs that have been made in the past. A few general comments will be made about some of the problems with which the University System is faced.
Some people are prone to think that, because the University System received in 1951 an increase of approximately $6,000,000.00 in its annual appropriation, adequate provision has been made for the financial needs of the System for the present and immediate future. This is certainly not the case. Of the $6,000,000.00 increase, approximately $2,000,000.00 has been used to replace losses in fee income due to withdrawal of veteran students. Another $1,620,000.00 of the annual increase is being paid to the University System Building Authority as rentals on buildings erected by the Authority for the University System. An additional sum of $733,980.00 was lost to the System as a result of the 6% reduction made in all State appropriations as of July 1, 19 53. During the past three years annual payments for Negro scholarships and to the Regional Education Board have grown to approximately $200,000.00. It is apparent that the annual increase of $6,000,000.00 that became effective in 1951 has not resulted in any very substantial increase in the amount available for salaries and current operating expenses. The institutions were faced with great difficulties in preparing their budgets for 19 53-54 and they will be faced with even greater difficulties when they come to the preparation of budgets for 1954-55.
Colleges and universities must make their plans on a long-range basis. We can foresee that, beginning in the late 1950's and continuing for a number of years thereafter, there will be great increases in the numbers of students seeking admission to institutions of the University System. We know that we do not now have facilities that are entirely adequate for our present student bodies and we know, too, that our present facilities will be totally and completely inadequate for the numbers of students who will wish to attend our institutions in 1960. Unless we begin now to make plans for the improvement and expansion of our plant facilities and unless we begin in the very near future to strengthen and enlarge our faculties, we shall not be
62

able to provide for students who in a very few years will be knocking at our doors.
In cooperation with the State Department of Education and the Georgia Education Association, we have made a careful study of our needs over the next ten-year period and of the amounts of money that will be required to meet these needs adequately. We have made estimates of enrollments, of the numbers of teachers that will be needed, and of salary scales that should prevail. We have made studies of the amounts that will be required for new buildings. repairs, and operating expenses. We have also prepared estimates of the money that will be needed for various research and extension programs. All of this information is set forth in a statement that has been approved by the Board of Regents and is now ready for public distribution. It is unnecessary to include in this report all the information and data that are contained in this lengthy statement. I shall, however, set forth here the summary statement of the needs of the University System for funds over the next ten-year period.

CONCLUSION
It has been impossible within the limits of this report to describe adequately the many and varied activities of the University System and its institutions. We trust that those who are interested in knowing more about the work of the System will read the reports of the presidents and talk to the personnel of the University System.
On behalf of the Board of Regents and the employees of the University System, I wish to express our appreciation for the consideration that the Governor, State officials, and members of the General Assembly have given to every request made by the Board. The University System has at all times received from every department of the State complete cooperation and support.
63

On behalf of the Board, I want to thank the personnel of the System for their outstanding services to their institutions and to the people of Georgia. No group cotrl:d have di~harged its duties more ably and conscientiously and no group could have manifested a finer spirit of loyalty to the interests of those whom we serve.
And on behalf of the employees of the University System and on behalf of all whom the University System serves, let me thank the members of the Board of Regents for the outstanding leadership that they have given to the System, for the intelligent and courageous manner in which they have met the System's problems, and for their devoted, unselfish, and tireless service to the cause of higher education in Georgia.
Respectfully submitted, HARMON W. CALDWELL Chancellor
