REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA ROBERT 0. ARNOLD, CHAIRMAN
COVINGTON, GEORGIA
The Governor of the State of Georgia State Capitol Atlanta 3, Georgia 1\fy dear Governor:
In accordance with the provisions of Section 32-129 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, 1957, and ending June 30, 1958.

REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
1957-58 Academic Year
To THE .MEMBERS oF THE BoARD oF REGENTS
OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA:
It is a pleasure to submit to you a report covering some phases of the work of the University System for the year that ended on June 30, 1958.
The annual reports of the presidents of the institutions of the University System describe in detail the activities of the institutions during the past year. Some of these reports have been printed and are available to members of the Board of Regents and to any citizens who may desire them. The reports of all institutions for 1957-58 have been made a part of the official files of the Office of the Board of Regents. This report will deal with the programs and activities of the University System as a whole and will contain only summaries of certain parts of the institutional reports.
General Statement The 1957-58 year was one of continuing progress for the University System and its institutions. In terms of the quality of faculty members and students, in terms of the quality of instructional and research programs, and in terms of financial support and expansion of physical facilities, there was significant improvement throughout the University System. Student Enrollment. As figures set out in this report indicate, the cumulative enrollment of resident students in 1957-58 was 29,595. This was an increase of approximately 400 over the preceding year. The enrollment in 1957-58 was more than 9,000 above the 1951-52 figure. The rate of increase has slowed down during the past two years but it is probable that after 1960 there will be another period of rapid growth in student enrollments. Increased State Support. In 1956-57 the University System received from the State a total of $19,529,700.00 for operating expenses. Of this amount $2,500,000.00 was for the operation of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital that provides clinical facilities for the Medical College of Georgia. During 1957-58 the University System received from the State
2
operations the sum of $22,100,000.00-or an increase of S2,-
~;0,30o.OO. This included $3,000,000.00 for operating expenses of
the Hospital.
During 1957-58 the University System also received under special allocations made by Governor Griffin approximately $3,161,000.00
for capital improvements and expansions of physical facilities.
Building Program. The cost of buildings actually completed during the year was only a little more than $2,000,000.00. The University System was able, however, during 1957-58 to begin work on new buildings costing more than .)20,000,000.00. At the end of the year plans were being prepared and money was in sight for additional structures costing more than $19,000,000.00. l\Iost of the building funds came from proceeds of sales of bonds by the University System Building Authority and from special allocations made by Governor Griffin. Of the buildings in the planning stage several arc dormitories that are to be financed by loans from the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency. The estimated cost of these dormitories is approximately $fi,OOO,OOO.OO. Other federal agencies have made grants of more than $2,000,000.00 for buildings now under construction or in the planning stage.
Southern Teclmical Institute. During the year plans were made for moving the Southern Technical Institute from the temporary quarters near Chamblee to a permanent plant in Cobb County near Marietta. The officials of Cobb County purchased a 93 acre tract of land at a cost of more than S150,000.00 and gave it to the Southern Technical Institute as a site for its new home. Governor Griffin before leaving office allotted the sum of $2,000,000.00 for the purpose of constructing a new plant for the Southern Technical Institute.
Expansion of .Junior College Pmgram. Since the West Georgia College was authorized in 1957 to offer a four-year program of work leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education, the University System has had only four junior colleges. These are the Georgia Southwestern College at Americus, the Middle Georgia College at Cochran, the South Georgia College at Douglas, and the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College at Tifton.
During the past year or two there has been a growing belief on the part of citizens, members of the General Assembly, and members of the Board of Regents that additional junior colleges should be operated by the State-particularly in some of the larger population centers. A Committee of the General Assembly studied this matter
3
d.uring 1957 and s.ubmitted to the General Assembly at its 1958 ses. sron recommendatiOns that led to the passage of the Junior College Act. This Act was designed to allow local governmental agencies to establish, with the approval of the Board of Regents, junior colleges. It was provided that the local agencies would provide such physical facilities as would be needed by the new junior colleges. The State undertook to provide funds for operating expenses to the extent of $300.00 per student. The local governmental agencies were supposed to provide any additional funds needed for operation. After the passage of this Act applications were made by various county and city school systems for the establishment of junior colleges.
The Board of Regents gave careful study to the various requests for new junior colleges and finally decided that the logical places for new State colleges at this time were Augusta, Columbus, and Savannah. The Board of Regents entered into negotiations with the Richmonel County Board of Education for the taking over of the Junior College of Augusta that had been in operation for many years. It worked with the officials and members of the Board of Education of the Muscogee County School District looking toward the establishment of a new junior college in the Columbus area. It also conducted negotiations with the Mayor and Council of the City of Savannah and the Armstrong College Commission for the transfer to the State of the Armstrong College of Savannah.
Negotiations regarding the colleges in Augusta and Columbus were completed before the end of the fiscal year. In May 1958 the Board of Regents accepted the Junior College of Augusta and agreed to operate it as a unit of the University System of Georgia provided that certain conditions were met by the Richmond County Board of Education. In May of 1958 the Board of Regents also authorized the establishment of a new junior college in Columbus, provided that certain things were done by the local Board of Education. The various conditions were complied with and the Augusta College and the Columbus College began operation as units of the University System in September 1958.
Shortly after the close of the 1957-58 fiscal year tentative agreements were worked out regarding the Armstrong College in Savannah. It is anticipated that this institution will become a unit of the University System as of January I, 1959.
It should be pointed out that the three colleges mentioned above will not function as institutions of local governmental agencies re-
4
iving State aid for their support. They were not taken over or cetablished under the provisions of the Junior College Act passed in
5~ 8. They became new institutions within the University System of
c;eorgia by virtue of the authority of the Board of Regents to establish new colleges as they may be needed and to take over existing colleges. The new colleges will operate within the framework of the University System on the same basis as the institutions that have been parts of the University System for many years. This method of operation was preferred both by the Board of Regents and the local governmental authorities.
Perhaps it should be said that the local governmental agencies agreed to give to the Board of Regents land for the new colleges and they also agreed to turn over existing buildings or to provide funds for such new buildings as would be needed for the educational programs of the colleges. The costs of operations will be provided by the Board of Regents. The costs of buildings that may be needed in the future for any expansion of the college programs will be borne by the Board of Regents. Governor Griffin made a special allocation of $400,000.00 to the Board of Regents for the operation of the new colleges during 1958-59.
APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD OF REGENTSINSTITUTIONAL HEADSHIPS AND REGENTS' STAFF
During the past year there were many changes in the administrative staffs and faculties of the institutions due to retirements, resignations, and deaths. These changes are recorded in the annual reports of the presidents of the institutions.
In this report we shall list only changes in the personnel of the Board of Regents and resignations, retirements, and deaths of institutional heads and of members of the staff of the Regents' Office.
Regents' Appointments It was said in the Annual Report for 1956-57 that Mr. Charles J. Bloch, who was appointecl in January 1950 as a Regent from the Sixth Congressional District, left the Board on July 8, 1957 when his successor, Mr. Linton D. Baggs, Junior, was appointed. On January l, 1958 the term of office of Mr. Howard H. Callaway, Regent from the Third Congressional District, expired. Mr. Callaway was reappointed by the Governor for a new seven-year term expiring January 1, 1965. The appointment was confirmed by the
5
Senate. .\lr. Callaway is now Chairman of the Committee on Edu
tion of the Board of Regents. He has already made a splendid c~a:
tribution to the work of the Board and he will undoubtedly ma;
even more si,o.,-nificant contributions in the v' ears ahead.
e
On January I, 1958 the term of office of .\fr. Roy Harris, Regen
from the Tenth Congressional District, came to an end. Mr. Harri:
was an exceedingly Yaluable member of the Board of Regents. The

Co_leman of Augusta ,"as named as successor to .\Ir. Harris. The ap-
pcnntment of J\Ir. Coleman was for a seven-year term ending on
January l, 1965. Mr. Coleman is an able business man who will serve
the Board with distinction.
Appointments of Presidents The Annual Report for 1956-57 indicated that on June ~(i, 1957 the Board of Regents named Dr. Edwin D. Harrison to the presidency of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Harrison took up his duties as President on August 15, 1957.
The Annual Report for last year also said that on July l 0, 1957 l\lr. Noah Langdale, Junior, was appointed to the presidency of the Georgia State College of Business Administration. He assumed the duties of the presidency on August l, 1957. J\Ir. Langdale succeeded Dr. George J\I.

At its meeting on J\Iay 14, 1958 Dr. Thomas Y. whitley was elected to the presidency of the Columbus College whose establishment was authorized at the same meeting. Dr. \Vhitley holds the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Master of Education degree from the University of Georgia. He also holds the Doctor of Education degree from the University of Texas. He served as Dean of Students at the South Georgia College from 1947 to 1958. Dr. \Vhi tley took over the duties of the presidency on July l, 1958.
It has already been said that the Board of Regents at its May 1958 meeting agreed to take over the operation of the Junior College of Augusta. At this same meeting the Regents named Dr. Gerald Burns Robins to the presidency of the new unit of the University System. Dr. Robins is a native of Arkansas and he holds the B.S. degree in Education and the M.S. degree from the University of Arkansas. He also holds the Doctor of Education degree from the University of Georgia. Dr. Robins had served as a member of the faculty
6
f the University of Georgia and at the time of his appointment lJy
~te Regents was serving as President of the Junior College of Augusta
under an appointment made by the Richmond County Board of Education.
Retirements
It was pointed out in the Annual Report for 1956-57 that the retirement of Dr. George l\1. Sparks from the presidency of the Georgia State College of Business Administration became elrective on July I, !957.
On July 1, 1958 the retirement of Dr. Edgar R. Pund from the presidency of the Medical College of Georgia became effective. Dr. Pund had served as a member of the faculty of the l\Iedical College since 1922. For a number of years he was Professor of Pathology and Head of the Department of Pathology. He was named as President of the Medical College in 1953 and served in this capacity with great distinction for a period of five years. Dr. Pund had not reached the compulsory retirement age but the condition of his health made it advisable for him to relinc1uish the duties of the presidency.
Dr. Harry B. O'Rear, Dean of the Medical College, is now performing the duties of the presidency and will continue to do so until a successor to Dr. Pund is appointed.
Deaths
Mention should be made of the deaths of certain men who at one time held key positions in the administrative organiLation of the University System.
Dr. Raymond R. Paty, a former Chancellor of the University System, died suddenly of a heart attack on August 7, 1957. Before coming to the University System, Dr. Paty had served as a member of the faculty of Emory University, as President of the Birmingham-Southern College, and as President of the University of Alabama. Dr. Paty was Chancellor of the University System from January l, 1947 until the time of his resignation on November 1, 1948. At the time of his death he was a Director of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Dr. Frank R. Reade, a former President of the Valdosta State College, died on April 10, 1957. An appropriate resolution regarding Dr. Reade's death was adopted by the Board at its meeting in July 1957. Dr. Reade was a Professor of English at Georgia Tech from 1923 to 1934. In 1934 he became President of the institution
7
now known as the Valdosta State College and served in that capacit
until ill health forced him to retire on June 30, 1948.
y
Dr. George M. Sparks, who retired from the presidency of the Georgia State College of Business Administration on July 1, 1957 died suddenly on October 29, 1958. Dr. Sparks became a member of the faculty of the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1924 and served the University System in various capacities for a period of thirtythree years. Dr. Sparks was literally the creator of the institution that is now known as the Georgia State College of Business Administration.
Dr. J. \V. Holley, the retired President of the Albany State Col-
lege, died on July 16, 1958. In 1903 Dr. Holley founded the institution that is now known as the Albany State College. He served as President of the institution until his retirement in 1943. Dr. Holley made a significant contribution to the cause of education for Negroes in Georgia.
On April 29, 1958 Dr. B. F. Hubert, a retired President of the Savannah State College, passed on. Dr. Hubert served from I 926 to 1947 as President of the school that is now known as the Savannah State College. It was under Dr. Hubert that the institution was developed into a four-year degree-granting institution. Because of poor health Dr. Hubert had been living in retirement since 1947.
Changes in Regents' Staff
Dr. J. A. Davis served as Associate Director of Testing and Guid-
ance for the University System from July I, 1957 to September I, 1957. When Dr. Joseph E. Moore left the position of Director of Testing and Guidance on September 1, 1957 to resume his duties at Georgia Tech, Dr. Davis succeeded him as Director. Dr. Davis did a most creditable piece of work for the University System. During the year Dr. Davis received an offer of a position at the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina. Because of the importance of the position and because of his desire to be closer to his father who was ill, Dr. Davis accepted the offer and left the University System on August 31, 1958.
The Board at its meeting on July 9, 1958 named Dr. John R. Hills as the successor to Dr. Davis. Dr. Hills reported for work on August 15, 1958. He holds the B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Southern California. For the four years immediately prior to his coming to Georgia, Dr. Hills worked with the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, New Jersey.

FACULTIES OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
The total number of faculty members in the resident teaching initutions of the University System during 1957-58, exclusive of the
~edical College, was I ,30 I. This represents an increase of 67 over
1956-57. In terms of full-time equivalent faculty members there were proximately 75 persons on the faculty of the Medical College and
~~ persons on the faculty of the School of Nursing. Most faculty
members at the Medical College and in the School of Nursing devote much of their time to clinical work in the Eugene Talmadge
Memorial Hospital. In giving figures on the number of faculty members we have in-
cluded only persons holding faculty status. vVe have not included administrators, librarians, or research workers, and neither have we included teachers in the extension divisions, practice schools, or military departments.
The following table shows the number of faculty members of various ranks in the institutions of the University System. The figures include only persons o( faculty rank whose names appear in the institutional budgets for resident teaching at the college level.

Workload of Faculty Members
The figures in the next table show the number of Ltculty mcm. bers and others who taught in each institution during the 195i<>H rc~ular ses.sion. The figures include only those who taught student\ at the college level and \lho \\'Cl'l' paid from State funds.
In arriving at the figures set forth, \\'C have excluded the time that faculty members devoted to non-teaching activities and \le have included the time that part-time teachers, lecturers, teaching assistants, and others without faculty rank \\'ho were enga~cd in the teaching ol stmlents. The figures arc in terms of full-time e<Iuivalents.
In the second column of the table there is set forth the number of students per teacher in each institution. The figures in this column were obtained by dividin~ the anTa~e student enrollment in each institution during the regular session by the average number of per sons who ta u~h t.
The third column shows the avera~e number of hours per m:ck tau~ht by faculty members in each institution. Hours dnotcd to preparation for classes and to other ofl1cial duties are not shml'tl.
The fourth column shows the avera~c tcachin~ load pn quarter in terms of student guarter hours of credit. A course that meets fin times each week for one guarto carries five quarter hours credit. If a teacher conducts such a course for twenty student'i, hi.s teaching load for that coun,e is one hundred student quarter credit hours.

The number of full-time equiYalent teachers in 1957-58 was 55.8 higher than in the preceding year. Since the number of faculty members in I957-58 was 67 higher than in 1956-57, it is cyident that the institutions are continuing year by year to rely more heavily on regular faculty members for teaching services and less heavily on parttime teachers, teaching assistants, and others without faculty rank.
Comments on Faculty Work
The faculty members of the institutions of the lJ nivcrsity System of Georgia have continued to make outstanding contributions to the cause of higher education and to the students with whom they come in contact. Every report indicates that faculty members as a whole are offering instruction of a very superior quality. At the same time, many are engaged in work on research projects. These projects arc valuable in themselves and the work of the faculty members on such projects increases, in most cases, the effectiveness of their teaching.
The members of the faculties of the institutions take an active part in the work of their various professional organizations-both State and national. Many of the highest positions in these professional organizations are held by members of the University System. Under the section of this Report dealing with Research there is a
ll
general statement regarding some of the activities of faculty member
in this field.
s
:Members of the faculties have continued to occupy positions
leadership in the social, civic, cultural, and religious life of the coo
munities in which they live. They have worked in clo~e cooperati:-
with the public schools and this fact is largely responsible for thn
very cordial relationship that exists between the public schools ..tnlel the University System in Georgia.
Each year the number of teachers in the University Sy;,tem hold-
ing doctor's degrees increases. Of the -100 teaching members of the
ll niversity of Georgia faculty in 1957-58, 185 held doctorates. There
were 63 addi tiona! holders of doctorates in the division;, of Agrintl.
tural Research, Agricultural Extension, and Continuing Education.
At the Georgia State College of Business Administration. (i3 of the
approximately 140 full-time faculty members held the highest de.
grees obtainable in their respective fields. Other institutions also
make very creditable showings in this respect. At the same time, how.
ever, both the institutions and the faculty members arc ;,triving for
still further improvement. During 1957-58 there were ~O(i facultv
members in the various institutions who spent some time doing ;Hl
vanced graduate work. l\Iany received advanced graduate degrees.
H the present trend continues, the academic qualiftcations of our
faculty members will before long compare very favorably with the
qualifications of the faculties in the best institutions of our country.
NUMBER OF GRADUATES DURING 1957-58
The figures set forth below show the number of degrees conferred and the number of certificates and diplomas granted by the various institutions of the Uniwrsity System during the 1957-58 academic year. The figures include graduates in the Summer of 1957 and in June of 1958.

Student Enrollments
The cumulatiYe enrollment of students in the sixteen teaching
institutions of the UniYersity System during the nine months' session
was 29.595. This was an increase of 120 students-or approximately
ly2o;,-mn the corresponding period of 1956-57. The figure of 2~l,5!J5 represents the number of indiYidual stu-

1957-58 was 21,636. The corresponding figure for 1956-57 was 21,237_ It is apparent that there was an increase of 399 equivalent full-time students-or approximately 2<Jo.
It should be pointed out that the figures set forth in the two preceding paragraphs include only students registered for work in residence during the regular session. They do not include summer school enrollments, nor do they include students enrolled in various extension programs, in Saturday and evening classes, or in teachers' workshops.
The following table shows the cumulative and average enrollments in each of the institutions during the nine months' session of 1957-58. In the case of the Georgia State College of Business Administration, a very large number of students work during the clay and take courses during the evening hours. Since these students take fewer courses during the year than a full-time student ordinarily takes, the average enrollment in terms of full-time equivalent students is far below the cumulative figure.

A comparison of the figures set forth above with corresponding figures for 1956-57 shows that there was some increase in the enrollments of both men and women students. The enrollment of veteran students was 753 less in 1957-58 than in the preceding year ami the enrollment of non-veteran students was 1,173 higher.
The next table shows the enrollments during the first and second sessions of the 1957 summer quarter. As the table indicates, some institutions conducted no summer schools. Georgia Tech, the Georgia State College of Business Administration, and certain other institutions do not divide the summer quarter into two sessions, but conduct one continuous session. The enrollments in these institutions, therefore, were the same throughout the quarter. The total enrollment for the 1957 summer quarter was approximately the same as the enrollment for the summer quarter of the preceding year.

Student Work and Activities
Aradnnic ll'orh. :\1! applicants for admission to undergraduate programs of llniH~rsity System institutions were again required to take the College Entrance Examination Hoard te;,ts. The results of these tests arc being carefully studiell and comparisons arc being made of score;; made by students on the tests and the acallemic records made by students after their allmission to college. In the ncar future policies will he adopted under "hich considerable weight will be gi\'Cil to scores on College Entrance Examination Board tests in determining whether applicants posses;; potential abilities for doing satisfactory work at the college level.
Until such time as the institutions arc really able to adopt better methods of screening applicants for admission, we shall, in all probability, continue to have manv students who lack the abilitv or the educational background necess;try to enable them to derive a'ny great
21
benefit from college work. This situation is to a considerable
responsible for the relatively large numbers of students who arc e~t~nt
dro]JlJed because of the unsatisfactorv nature of thc 11. .au. ,e1emmg
work in colleg' e. During the three quarters of the 1%7-58 regu1ar sesc-
sion the Georgia Institute of Technology dropped 557 students [ academic deficiencies. During the same three quarters more thor
1,200 additional students were placed on probation because o[ ~n
poor quality of their work and nearly 3,000 student-; "Tre "warn~l~
that trouble lay a.head. unless the quality of their ."ork impro,cd. It
should be borne 111 mmd, ot course, that some ot the probation n(). tices and "arnings "ent to the same students during two or more quarters, so that the number of students who "'lTe deficient in their "'ork was not as great as the ft~ures might at first indictte. The problem was, nevertheless, a scnous one. The Georgia Institute o( Technology has been more strict, perhaps, than some other institu. tions in establishing and enforcing high scholastic sLmtLtnls and this undoubtedly explains why so many of its students were in academic difficulties. Other institutions, however, had problems of the same nature. During the 1957-58 regular session the Georgia State College of Business .\dministration dropped 342 students for poor academic work and the lJ nivcrsity of Georgia suspended 26 I students for the same reason. The figures ran comparatively high in the four-year colleges. For instance, "'est Georgia College dropped Hi, the North Georgia College suspended 57, the Valdosta State College dismissed 73, and the Fort Valley State College refused to allow R9 students to remain in college. In all cases, the numbers of students placed on academic probation were much higher than the numbers o( suspensions.
It should not be presumed from the facts mentioned above that students were less diligent during the past year in the pursuit of their academic studies. On the contrary, most institutions report, in effect, that students were "more serious in their attitudes'' antl that they "displayed more serious academic interest". Our problems arc how to get students that arc better qualified for college "ork and how to enable them to do a better job after they come to college. Our faculties are dedicated wholeheartedly to the improvement of academic standards and there is every reason to believe that in the not distant future their efforts will produce excellent results.
Conduct. The conduct and general behavior of the studenu, while not perfect, were all that could be reasonably expected. Only
22
one I.nstitution had anv, serious problems resulting.- from misconduct

Some of the mstitutwns, m an effort to encourag-e students to
devotc more time to academic "ork, are beg-inning- to place some
limitations on social activ-ities. For instance, the Univ-en,ity of Geor-
gia docs not nmr permit any student social functions to be held on
~fonday. Tuesday, \\'cdncsday, or Thursday of each week. The num-
ber of such social functions at the Univ-crsit) thopped from /(i8 in
195657 to 2tii in 1957-58.
Financial Xnds of Studf'n/s. The number of re<FH.'sts for loans, scholarships, and part-time jobs continues to increase from year to vrar. During- 1~lSi-58 the l'niv-ersity made loans in the ag-greg-ate ~mount of SI 10,000.00 to 375 students. The larg-est number of students receiv-ing- loans in any prev-ious year was 280 and the largest amount lent in any previous year v1as S/(i,OOO.OO. The Georgia Institute of Technolog-y made student loans in an amount of approximately S I00,000.00. Substantial numbers of loans were made by the Georgia State College for '\'omen and by the Fort Valley State Co II cg-e.
:\II institutions prO\ idcll work opportu ni tics for considera blc numbers of students. lJnfortunatcly, there v\'cre not enough jobs for all students vdw applied. Quite a number of stmlents were forced to withdraw from colleges for financial reasons.
Funds for scholarships \\Tre provided by the citizens of several communities in "hich colleges arc located. Cititens and business fim1s of Americus, Carrollton, Douglas, Tifton, and Valdosta were particularly g-enerous in their support of scholarship programs.
In the I958 general election the voters of the State appro;-cd a Constitutional amendment that permits the General Assembly to appropria tc funds for the purpose of prmiding scholarships for ablc and descning colleg-e students. It is earnestly hoped that the General Assembly will in the near future find it possible to pro;-ide
23
money for such scholarships. "\ny money so used will be an excellent investment in the future of the State of Georgia.
INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM
N cw Degrees and Curricula
"\1 though the Board of Regents strives to follow a consenati .
policy in authoriting the expansion of the functiom of the instit:~
tions of the l Tniversity System. the Board is, nevcrthde'' inclined t
authorize the establishment of a new program of work when the nee~
for it is clearly established and when adequate fund-. are aqilahle for it-; support.
During 1951-58 several new degree programs 11-cn ;1u thorited hy the Board of Regent-,. The major action-; of this t\pe ;ItT indicatC:t below.
University of Georgia
At its Febru;n y 1958 meeting the Board a uthorited the p niversity of Ceorgi;1 to inaugurate new programs leading to Ph.D. degrees in the fields of Animal i'\ u tri tion, Bacteriology, :111d Food Technology. The degree in Food Technology includes work in the field of Dairy 0-ianufacturing.
L1 .\pril 1%8 the Board approved the request of the llniversitv or Georgia that it he allowed to offer programs lca(ling to the degre~ of Bachelor of J\1 usic. T"o curricula leading to this degree were approved. One curriculum provides a major in Applied i\lusic and the other prO\ides a major in J\lusic Education.
Georgia Institute of Technology At its meeting in .June 1958 the Board authori;ed the Georgia In-
stitute of Technology to oller a graduate program leading to the degree of Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering.
In January 1958 the Board approved the recommendation of Ccorgia Tech that, effective with the class entering in September 1~J5R, the undesignated B.S. degree no longer be conferred on students completing four years of \\'ork in the Architectural Design Option a!l(l in the Structural Design Option. Students in these Options will in the future be granted the degree of Bachelor of ,\rchitccture on the completion of five years of work.
At its January meeting the Board also pn>vided that students in Industrial Design be given the B.S. degree in Indu.'itrial Design on the completion of a four-year curriculum rather than an undesig-

ro~Trs the dillcrcnce between the cost of attending a l'ni\er.-,ity

d~c student desires to enrolL This program has been very ably ad-
ministered by :\Irs. .Jessie Harri.'i with the assistance of .\Ir. L. R. Sic-
bert. Executive Secretary of the Board of Regents.
During 1957-SH, l,H2.1 individual students received 2,-tll scholarship aid grants for graduate and professional study at 78 institutiom, indudin~ 7i out-of-State institutions and .\tlanta University. These 1.825 students took work in 38 major fields. By far the largest mtmber of swdenu. took major 1\'ork in the held of Education. Of the 1,825 students receiving scholarship aid, I,3-18 students chose Education as their field of specialitation.
The number or Negro students receiving scholarship aid was 280
less during 1957-58 than the number receiving such aid in the preceding year. The drop in the number of students receiving aid was due largely to the inauguration of a graduate program in Elementary Education at the Fort Valley State College. Scholarships arc not gi\'en to new applicanrs for study in a held of work that is offered at an institution for Negro students within the University System.
The cost of the program was higher in 1957-58 than it was during 195ti-57. Expenditures for scholarship aill increased from S27l,799.4.J in 195fi-57 to .~288,538.00 in 1957-58. The higher cost resulted from the fact that several out-of-State institutions attended by Georgia students made large increases in their tuition rates.

Sometime ago Governor Griffin made an allocation of S~50,000.00 for the erection of a building on the Georgia Tech campus for the Southern Regional Education Board.

RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS
The larger institutions of the Uniyersity System indicate an eYer increasing interest in research actiYities. l\fost of the \\ork of this type must necessarily be done in institutions with graduate and pro fessional schools. It is gratifying, howeYer, to sec the extent to whidt faculty members in the smaller institutions arc finding opporwnities for research and other types of scholarly work.

General Research Funds lor the general research program arc derived from grants
b \'arious lcnllldations, through contracts with or grants from fcd-
e~l agencies, and from State funds. During 1957-58 the University
expended S581 .~J H.76 for its gene_ral _or fundamental research program. This represn~ts a substantial mcrcase over the amount ex-
pended in the preccchng year. Research activities were carried on by faculty members in prac-
tically ncry dcpartmen t of the l 1niversity. Some projects were conducted by indi,idual faculty members and some were conducted through organi1ed agencies within the University, including the Bureau ol Business Research, the Institute of Law and Government, the Bureau of Educational Studies and Field Services, and the :\Iarine Biology Station on Sapelo Island.
Out of the general research program ol the University in 1957-58 c:ame 91 publications, including five booh and one monograph. These publications arc listed in the Report of The Dean of the Graduate School and the Director of Research. At the end of the year 60 additional manuscripts were in the press. In addition to the papers published, 80 research papers \\Tre rcall before national, regional or local professional organizations.
The following significant paragraph appears in the report of the Director of Research:
":\fcntion should be made of the fact that many members of our faculty are gaining national or CYen international recognition for their research all(l scholarly \H>rk in generaL 1\'otablc in this regard are the important assignments which Lamar Dodd has had in the field of art during the past year, the Guggenheim grants to Dr. Vinson and Dr. Prunty, the Rockefeller grants to Dr. Parthemos for next

Agricultural Research
The agricultural rc~earch pn:gram of the l 1ninTsi ty is carried on through three expenmen t statwns, four branch .'>tat ions, and four ftcld stations. Through a coordinated program, the College o[ .\grj.
culture and the experiment stations are constantlY. at "ork on mny
project> that are designed to improYe and make more profitable e\ ery type of farm operation in Georgia.
During the past year the total expenditures for agricultural research, excluding capital expenditures, amounted to S?\,:!ti7,320.92. This was a considerable increase over the preceding year. The State allocation for research during 1957-58 was S I,3~Hl.OOO.OO. Federal funds for agricultural research amounted to .)9:!2, I:!8.0~1. .\fost of the remaining income of the agricultural experiment stations was deriYcd from gifts and grants ancl from sales and sen ices. The item of income from sales and sen ices was .)879,20().17. The total income from all sources was 53;435,09'1.71.
During 1957-58 many improvements in the physicd facilities of the experiment stations were made. Expenditures lor new construction and repairs amounted to S809,i:4G.OO. This docs not include allocations made for new Administration-Auditorium Buildings at the Northwest Georgia Branch Experiment Station at Calhoun and the Southeast Georgia Branch Experiment Station at J\li(hille.
Approximately 400 research projects were being conducted by the experiment stations during 1957-58. The results ol these studies, which coYer every field of agriculture, were published through various media. The stations issue bulletins, circulars, and mimeographed letters. Articles by members of the staffs of the experiment stations arc published in yarious papers and professional journals. During 1957-58 there were more than 200 separate publications of various types. The titles of these publications are contained in the report of the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Stations. All of these publications went into the hands of workers in the Agricultural Ex

Georgia Institute of Technology
The greater part of the organi1ed research program of the Geora Institute of Technology is conducted through the Engineering
~xperiment Station.. "I_I~e principal di~ision~ of the _s~a-tion are the
Chemical Sciences Drnswn, the i\Iatenal Scrences Drnsron, the :\fechaniral Sciences Division, the Physical Sciences Division, the Rich Electronic Computer Center, and the Industrial Development Branch. The past year began under the pressure of a Defense Department (tit-back in basic and applied research and the outlook at the be-
ginning of the year was not bright. Dr. J. E. Boyd, Director of the
Station, reporb. hm\'Cver, that the year ended as the most successful year in the history of research at Georgia Tech.
The number of research projects handled by the Station during 1957-58 was 270 as compared with 228 in the preceding year. The total inrome of the Station in 1957-58 was S2,383,000.00 as compared with SI,960,000.00 during 1956-57. Of the total income, .'iii ,883,000.00 was received under Research Contracts, S345,000.00 came from the Board of Regents, $92,000.00 from the Georgia Tech Research InstilUte, and the remainder from miscellaneous sources.
The largest portion of the research eJiort during the year was again devoted to Goyernment-sponsored research. The Station is placing more and more emphasis, howeyer, on research activities lhat will be of direct and practical value to Georgia Tech's educttiona! program, the State of Georgia, and the southeastern region.
At the end of the year work was well under way on the Radioisolopes and Bioengineering Building that is being erected at a cost of more than $500,000.00. work was going forward on plans for the nuclear reactor facility. A conceptual design of the reactor facility
and a preliminary design of the buildings hacl been completed.

Personnel turnoYcr is still a problem. This problem 1s not !IC> acute as it has been in the past. It was rclieYcd to some extent by salary rai-,es made during the past nn) years.
The most serious problem now faced by the SLttion is lark o( ;tdcquatc space. The rapidly expanding program of the Station and the increased personnel ha\e taxed existing Ltcilities to the limit. Further growth is almost impos.sible until more adequate physiral facilities arc provided.
Research Work at the Medical College
and Other Institutions
At the i\lcdical College all full-time faculty mcmlll'Js, several part time faculty members, and a number of Yisiting and courtesy facult) members arc engaged in research and creative \\ork.

LIBRARIES
During 1957-58 the Board of Regents and the in>titutions hne
continued their eltorts to expand library facilities and to improve the quality of library services. In a former report it \\a, stated that the
library buildings '"ere at least reasonably good at :til in>titutions,,ith two exceptions. The buildings at the .\lbany State College and the SaYannah State College haYe been Ycry inadequate. During 195758 work was begun on a new library building for each of these in. stitutions. The new facilities will be ready for usc in 195~J.
The teaching institutions of the l'niYersity sy.,tcm expended during 1957-58 the sum of $1,047,68~l.71 for libr;m pttrpo-.c>. There was added to the libraries during the year a total of 05.51 (j book.,. The
total number of Yolumes in the librarie-; c1n .June :w. I ~158 \\"as 1.0-18,.

As is pointed out in the Annual Report of the Director of Li brarics at Georgia Tech, figures like those set forth ai>m-c arc often but crude measures of the Yolumc of work that is actually done in the libraries. The acquisition and holdings figure., do not include such things as current periodical and serial suhscriptiom, technical reports and documents, pamphlets and catalogues, sound recordings, maps, slides, and films. The holdings and circulation ol such rna terials in some of the libraries are quite large. Furthermore. the circulation figures for some of the larger libraries do not include the numbers of books used by students in the library. The stacks are

PUBLIC SERVICES
In this 'ection of the Report we shall discuss briefly the noncredit instructional programs that the institutions proYidc through short courses, conferences, and institutes. \\rork carrying academic credit, t'\Tn \\'hen conducte<l a\\'ay from the campus of an institution, was discussed under the section on Students.
The two institutions that have the most highly organized and the most mmprehensive programs of public s~nicc are the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Special rcfcrmce will be made to the programs of these institutions.
35
. University of Georgia
The two principal agencies through which the public service pro. gram of the University is conducted are the Continuing Educatio Center and the Agricultural Extension Service. Both of these age: cies had a remarkably successful year in terms of services to the peo. ple of Georgia.
The Continuing Education Center took over the functions of the old Division of General Extension. It conducts off-campus centers in various parts of the State and it also conducts extension classes in localities where off-campus centers do not exist. The enrollments in the various off-campus centers and in extension classes are set forth in the section on Students. Suffice it to say here that the average enrollment per quarter in the off-campus centers during 1957-58 was 18.8% higher than it was during 1956-57. The total full-time equivalent enrollment in extension classes increased 47%.
The unique feature of the program of the Continuing Education Center is the work that is done in the new Continuing Education Center Building in Athens which during 1957-58 was in the second year of its operation. The following paragraph from the Annual Report of the President of the University of Georgia indicates the scope of the Center program on the campus:
"The number of conferences and short courses of one day's duration or more increased from 80 in 1956-57 to 170 in 1957-58. The total number of conference participants, who comprise only a small part of the total number of persons making use of the Center facilities, increased from 9,678 to 16,416. These included educators, civil servants, lawyers, doctors, farmers, and business men-visitors from all 48 states and l4 foreign countries. Planning sessions, committee meetings, and short educational programs of less than one day's duration increased from 145 last year to 160, with participants increasing from 4,IIO to 8,250."
In addi~on to conducting educational programs for various types of business and professional groups, the Continuing Education Center last year conducted a Drama Loan Library, provided a speakers' service, furnished consultation services to women's clubs and other organizations throughout the State, and sponsored traveling exhibits of paintings.
The Communications Division of the Continuing Education Center plans to establish a television station. It is now awaiting a de-
36
. ion by the Federal Communications Commission on a request for ClSchange in the tower site. In the meantime and during 1957-58, 36
~osed circuit television productions, ranging from simple demonstra-
tions to complex programs, were staged. The activities of the Continuing Education Center, including
both its teaching and conference programs, are largely self-supporting. During 1957-58 the total expenditures of the Center amounted to $786,613.57. The State allocation for operations was only $100,000.00. The additional money for operations was derived largely from matriculation fees and grants from the Kellogg Foundation.
Among other outstanding public service agencies of the University are the Georgia Review, the University Press, the Georgia Museum of Art, the Business Research Bureau, the Bureau of Educational Studies and Field Services, and the Institute of Law and Government. All of these agencies of public service made significant contributions to the cultural and professional life of the State.
The public service agency of the University that is most far-reaching in its scope is the Agricultural Extension Service, which is a division of the College of Agriculture. The work of the Agricultural Extension Service vitally affects the lives of the men, women, boys, and girls living in rural sections of Georgia.
The Director of the Agricultural Extension Service issues a printed Annual Report which is available to every citizen who wishes a copy. It is unnecessary, therefore, in this report to make any ex tended reference to the work of this agency. The following paragraphs from the Director's Report will convey some idea of the nature and scope of the work:
"Georgia Extension Service workers assisted 248,769 different families in making changes in farm and home practices. Of these, 165,025 families were assisted by county agricultural agents in making agricultural changes and 145,533 families were aided by home demonstration agents in improving home making practices.
"Overall, 143,940 Georgia boys and girls and 40,000 farm women are students of the University of Georgia by virtue of their enrollment in organized 4-H and Home Dem onstration Clubs. Adult farmers are read1ed less formally through short courses, tours, meeting of community groups, etc.
"Nearly 15,000 result demonstrations for adults were con-
37
ducted by the Extension Service during 1957. Agents also held 3,480 training meetings for adults with an attendance of 51,786 people and 3,947 training meetings for -1-H Club members with an attendance of 80,217. County Extension Agents also comluctell or took part in 32,273 other meetings for adults with l,(Hil,824 people in attendance and 25,3GO other 4-H Club meetings with 1,151,461 attending. All of these meetings were educational in their nature with latest research information being presented.
"In addition to the above, county and home agents made 'student-teacher contacts through 241,562 farm anll home visits, 346,263 office calls, and 459,789 telephone calls."
The following two paragraphs from the Report or the President of the University deal particularly with the 1-H Club program o( the Agricultural Extension Service:
"The 4-H Club program includes youth between the ages of ten and twenty years inclusive who live on farms or are classifted as rural non-farm citizens. Enrollment reached an all time high of 143,910 to establish Georgia as the second State in the nation in 4-H Club membership.
"More than 200 young people took part in the State 4-H Club Congress, and 32 of Georgia s outstanding youth took part in the National 4-H Club Congress. Georgia had one section<tl and fisc national winners. Approximately 11,000 4-H members attended county club camps where they participated in recreational and inspirational activities, and more than 20,000 people used the Rock Eagle 4-H Club Center for educational purposes. J'\early ~12,000.00 in college scholarships and $13,840.00 in college work scholarships were awarded to 4-H Club members." The Agricultural Extension Service is truly a cooperative enter prise. Its operations are financed by the federal government, the State govenunent, and the county government. During 1957-58 the State of Georgia contributed Sl,J75,000.00 for the operations of the Extension Service. The Extension Service received other income from the federal government, from the counties of the State, from gifts and grants, and from sales and services. Its total expenditures during 1957-58 amounted to ~1,527,(iG8.G7.
Georgia Institute of Technology The Engineering Extension Division of the Georgia Institute of

credit. The Engineering Extension Division also conducts short courses
nd conferences on the campus of Georgia Tech and it conducts aIf-campus classes in various phases of Industrial Engineering. Dur-
? !957-58 the Division held 15 short courses and five conferences.
~~ese short courses and conferences "'CIT attended by I ,G49 indi-
,iduals. Due to the business recession, the number of people coming to the campus for short courses and conferences was somewhat less than during the preceding year. Another factor limiting the at tendance at these meetings is the lack of adequate facilities. The Extension Division is badly in need of more commodious and properly designed facilities over which it will have control.
The Extension Division continued its cooperation with the train-
ing department of the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation at Marietta in conducting special adult non-credit courses for its employees. These
non-credit courses were given both on the campus and at the Lockheed plant near Marietta. \Iany Lockheed employees come to the campus for credit courses.
During the year the Extension Division utilized the services of 125 members of the Georgia Tech faculty and of 7G other persons in carrying on the instructional program of the Evening School.
In 1957-58 the Extension Division completed the organization of
the Fire Institute whose establishment was advocated by the Georgia State Firemen's Association. Fire-fighting training for 2,61'1 public service employees of 205 fire departments was conducted by a total of 55 fire service instructors. The Division also offered training in occupational techniques, technologies, and mathematics in 32 textile
plants throughout the State. There were 136 classes of this type for a total of 1,827 industrial employees. Industrial plant diplomas were
given to 60 employees who completed the three-year program of training.
Other Institutions
The other institutions of the University System do not have the staffs and facilities for rendering broad programs of service to adults and off-campus groups. The staff aml faculty members of every in~titution, however, are an integral and vital part of the community m which the institution is located. The public services provided by
39
the officials and faculty members of these institutions are far-reach. ing in their scope.
During 1957-58 the Georgia State College of Business Administra. tion through its School of Business Administration sponsored SUch programs as the Business Correspondence Clinic, a Credit lTnion Institute, the Georgia Credit Clinic, Rich"s Human Relations Program, a Real Estate Certificate Program, a program in Personnel Testing, and other meetings of a similar character. Registrants in short courses and institutes conducted by the School of Business Administration numbered 2,138.
The School of Arts and Sciences of the Georgia State College of Business Administration sponsored special non-credit courses in Pub. lie Speaking, Rapid Reading, Art, Ready \\'riting, Practical Psychology, and other fields for a total of more than 600 students.
During the year the Georgia State College of Business Administration made its facilities available for 125 meetings of an educational nature.
The \'Vest Georgia College continued its unique program of adult education. It conducted three Studycades, including one to the western part of the United States and one to Mexico. It also conducted many meetings for adults through its College in the Country and its College in the Town programs.
The Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College conducted 3,1 short courses for a total of 4,223 people. These people came from 106 Georgia counties, 11 other states, and 6 foreign countries. There are many evidences that these short course programs are making a real contribution to the rural life of our State.
The faculty members of other institutions served as advisors to various professional and educational organizations. They took an active part in the civic, cultural, religious, and social life of the communities in which they live. They worked with civic clubs and chambers of commerce, and with churches and schools. They made many hundreds of speeches and provided programs of an almost infinite variety for meetings of various sorts.
The institutions were also generous in making their facilities available ior meetings of various types of educational groups. J\Iore than 9,000 people attended meetings of this sort on the campus of the Savannah State College alone.
FINANCES The Treasurer of the Board of Regents, 1\fr. .James A. Blissit, has
40
repared a comprehensive report on the financial operations of the
~niversity System and its institutions for the 1957-58 fiscal year. The
Treasurer's Report will be published and copies made available to all who request them. In this general report we shall set forth summaries of certain portions of the Treasurer's Report.
Income of the University System
During the 1957-58 fiscal year the University System received from the State for operating expenses the sum of S22,100,000.00. Of this amount, the sum of $3,000,000.00 was earmarked for the operation of the Eugene Talmadge 1\Iemorial Hospital which provides clinical facilities for the Medical College.
It should also he pointed out that only ~20,100,000.00 was received under Appropriation Acts of the General Assembly. There was no new Appropriation Act in 1957. The University System received the amount of $20,100,000.00 for which provision was made in the Appropriation Act of 1956 plus a special allocation of .~2,000,000.00 that was made by the Governor for increased operating expenses during 1957-58.
During !957-58 the University System also received through special allocations made by the Governor the sum of $3,161,484.94 for new buildings and other capital improvements. The largest single allocation for capital improvements was ~2,500,000.00 to cover part of the cost of building a nuclear reactor facility at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The following figures show the total amount of State funds received by the University System during the 1957-58 fiscal year and the purposes for which special allocations were made.

The next table shows in the hrst column the allocation to each
institution for educational and general purpose,, The second column shm\s the average number of full-time ~tudents or their equiva-
lcn t registered in each institution during the regu Lt r nine months'
session of 1957-58. The third column shm\'s the State allocation per
student on the basis of the number of students in the l'('gular session.
In order that a more accurate comparison may be made of State funds available to the institutions on a per student basis, we l~:~ve
alldell two additional columns of figures. i\Iost or the institutions conduct summer sessions and charge the costs of such sessions a~ainst
the educational and general budgets. Some insti tu tiom conduct spe
cial classes on Saturdays and in the evening hours. In order to arrive
at figures that will reHect the costs of the total instructional pro~rams,
we have taken the total number of quarter hours credit for residence
work offered for students of all types in each institution and have di vided this number by 50. The figure 50 represents the avera~e num
ber of quarter hours of credit earned by a full-time student in the
University System during three academic quarters. The numbers of
full-time students arrived at in this manner are set forth in the fourth
column. The figures in the fifth and last column indicate the amount
of State funds required for the offering of 50 student quarter credit
hours in each of the several institutions of the University System.

In comparing institutional allocations on a per student basis, it should be borne in mind that, in making allocations of State funds,
the Board of Regents must necessarily consider the income received by institutions from fees and other sources. An institution with a high fee income per student may need less money from the State than an institution with a relatively low fee income per student. This ex-
plains the low allocation per student to the Southern Technical Institute as compared with the per student allocation to other two-year institutions. The Board tries to see that the total amount received by an institution for educational and general purposes is sufficient to enable the institution to perform effectively the functions assigned to it. This policy explains to some extent the variations in the per atudent allocations to the several institutions of the University System.

on the basis of funds received from the State and of income denved from fees and other sources. The statement set forth on pages
th- and ___ of this report indicates the various sources from which
institutions received income and the amount derived from ea~
source.
The next table shows the percentage of its income that each institution received from each of the several sources indicated. Because of rapidly increasing costs and a relatively stable fee structure for a number of years, the percentage of total income clcriwcl from fees in many institutions has been steadily declining.

The table set forth above takes into consideration income received by some institutions from the federal government, gifts and
ants for research and extension projects and other projects of a S:n-instructional nature. Since the activities of some institutions
:0n e wholly instructional in nature and since these institutions receive funds for non-instructional purposes, the above table does not afford a basis for an altogether accurate comparison of the percentages of income received by institutions from fees and State allocations for instructional purposes. The Treasurer of the Board has, therefore, prepared another table in which income for non-instructional purposes has been eliminated and in which are shown the percentage of instructional cost that is borne by the State and the percentages of such cost that is paid from fee income. This table is set
forth below.

The variations in percentages in the above table arc due to some extent to differences in the sizes of institutions. For instance, the expenditures for administrative and overhead costs in a small institution will almost necessarily be higher in terms of percentages than they will be in a large institution. Differences in kinds of plant, in types of internal organization, and in character of services provided are also responsible for the variations.
Expenditures Per Student The following and last table in this section shows the amount per student, in terms of dollars, that each institution spent for each of the purposes indicated. In arriving at these figures, all types of resident enrollment were included. The figures are based on a number of full-time students that was determined by dividing by 50 the total number of student quarter hours of work offered by an institution. The figure 50 represents the average number of quarter hours of work taken by a full-time student in the University System during three quarters. The last column shows the amount that it cost each institution to provide such a student with instructional ancl other educational services over a nine months' period. From these compu tations expenditures for operating practice schools, for providing clinical facilities for medical students, and other expenditures not common to most institutions have been excluded.

In addition to the major projects listed above, a number of smaller building projects were completed. A warehouse was built at the Georgia State College for Women. A building at the South Georgia College was completely remodelled so that it would provide adequate facilities for infirmary purposes. At the Fort Valley State College a dairy barn, an implement shed, and an athletic field were
55
constructed. Facilities were completed at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station for the swine strain testing program, the swine nutrition program, and the beef sire testing program.
Buildings Under Construction at the Close of the 1957-58 Fiscal Year
During 1957-58 the University System Building Authority issued additional bonds. The proceeds of the sales of these bonds and special allocations of funds made by Governor Griffin made it possible to let contracts for a number of new buildings. Contracts for the following buildings were let during the year and construction was under way at the end of the year. The total cost of buildings under construction at the end of the fiscal year is $20,136,527.51.

Estimated Cost of Buildings Planned ....
$19,062,181.00
The proposed dormitories at the University of Georgia, the Georgia Institute of Technology, the North Georgia College, and the Georgia Teachers College will be constructed with the proceeds of loans from the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency. Applications for such loans have already been tentatively approved. The Nuclear Reactor Facility at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Clinical Research Building at the Medical College will be financed in part with the proceeds of federal grants.
With one exception, money is now on hand for the construction of all other buildings that are now being planned. The one exception is the section of a proposed Fine Arts Building at the University of Georgia. The Board of Regents has earmarked $666,750.00
57
for the construction of this project. The estimated cost of the projec
as planned is $919,450.00. The Board hopes that it will be able soot
to provide the additional funds needed for this building.
n
Land Acquisitions
During 1957-58 the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology acquired a n~mber of parcels of property adjacent to or in close proximity to their respective campuses. The Georgia Institute of Technology needed additional land on which to construct a nuclear reactor and dormitories. The University of Georgia needed more land on which to build the proposed new dormitories. During the year the University expended approximately $200,000.00 for land purchases and the Georgia Institute of Technology expended approximately $350,000.00.
The University of Georgia also bought 94 acres of land near Calhoun for the purpose of expanding the operations of the Northwest Georgia Branch Experiment Station. The cost of this land was $21,330.00.
In April of 1958 the Board of Regents authorized the Georgia State College of Business Administration to purchase a home for the president of the institution at a cost of $71,500.00.
The Savannah State College bought four small lots near the entrance to its campus for a price of $7,100.00.
During the year officials of Cobb County very generously offered to give land to the Board of Regents as a site for new buildings for the Southern Technical Institute. The tract of land offered for the Southern Technical Institute contains approximately 93 acres and was bought by Cobb County at a cost of approximately $150,000.00. The offer was accepted by the Board of Regents at its June meeting. Negotiations were also conducted with the City of Columbus, the Richmond County Board of Education, and the City of Savannah looking toward the conveyance to the Board of Regents of lands and buildings for junior college purposes. These negotiations were not completed before the end of the 1957-58 fiscal year.
Repairs and Rehabilitation
The Board continued its program of repairing and rehabilitating older buildings. Particular emphasis is being placed on the removal of fire hazards. During the year some work was being carried on with funds allotted during 1956-57. Additional allotments in the amount
.?8
of $826,985.00 were made to the institutions for 1957-58. This brings total allotments for repairs and rehabilitation over the past few years to more than .IJ;5,500,000.00.
At the University of Georgia Denmark Hall, formerly used as a dining hall, was converted into a building for the housing of the Department of Landscape Architecture. 'Work done on the CommerceJournalism Building provided two new classrooms and seventeen offices. The old sections of Barrow Hall were completely remodelled so as to provide better facilities for the Department of Agricultural Engineering. Extensive work was done on the old library building, the Gilbert Memorial Infirmary, Lumpkin House, Lustrat House, and Joe Brown Dormitory.
Similar programs of work were carried on at the other institutions. Georgia Tech reports that its fire hazard correction and rehabilitation programs are now sse;~ complete. The Albany State College says that the rehabilitation of its physical plant is nearing completion. These statements are typical of the reports from other
institutions. Mr. J. H. Dewberry, Director of Plant Operations of the
University System, is clue much of the credit for the speed and efficiency with which the repair and rehabilitation programs have been conducted.
GIFTS AND GRANTS During 1957-58 the institutions of the University System received gifts and grants amounting to approximately $3,131,752.36. This figure does not include the value of books, equipment, portraits, and other kinds of personal property that were given to various institutions. Donations made directly to the alumni societies and alumni foundations are mentioned separately at the end of this section. The aggregate amount of gifts and grants received during 1957-58 was the largest in the history of the University System. The names of the various donors are listed in the reports of the presidents and comptrollers of the several institutions. v\re want to thank all persons, corporations, and agencies that have contributed to the support of the work of our institutions. The following figures indicate the contributions made to each of the several institutions during the past year.

During the year various business firms in the Atlanta area promised to pay to the Georgia State College of Business Administration over a five-year period the sum of 5'12,375.00 for the further development of work in science and mathematics. The College received S9,575.00 from these pledges during 1957-58 and this amount is included in the College total. There were many other gifts for faculty salaries, the improvement of instruction, and the enlargement of physical facilities.
At the :\Iedical College the largest grants were 5334,714.95 from the U.S. Public Health Service and 547,298.00 from the National Fund for Medical Education. There were many grants from foundations and pharmaceutical houses.
In addition to a grant of ~5,000.00 for studies in elementary education, the west Georgia College received $10,000.00 from the Fund for Adult Education for the program for adults and $9,545.00 from local citizens for scholarships.
Although the North Georgia College actually received only $750.00 in gifts tluring 1957-58, the College was notified that at a later time it will receive approximately 5i50,000.00 under the will of Mr. Asa D. Hammock of California. Mr. Hammock was a graduate of the North Georgia College in the Class of 1895.
During the past year the Georgia State College for women received S50,000.00 under the will of Mrs. Bessie Lindenstruth of the Class of 1899. This money is to be used for the purchase of chimes.
The rnajor gift received by the Valdosta State College was $5,985.00 from the Loundes County Chamber of Commerce for scholarships.
The junior colleges received a number of gifts for scholarship purposes. The value of such gifts to the South Georgia College and the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College are indicated above. The Georgia Southwestern College received from the Americus Chapter of the American Association of University \'\Tomen grants for scholarships purposes, but the amount of such grants was not indi-
61

The Albany State College received gifts for scholarships, for the purchase of choir robes, and for student awards. The Fort Valle State College received grants from the Sears-Roebuck Foundatio! for scholarships and for a Shetland pony breeding project. The ma. jor portion of the gifts to the Savannah State College was for scholar. ship purposes.
Gifts to Alumni Societies and Foundations
The fiscal year of the Alumni Society of the University of Georgia now begins on January l instead of July l as it formerly did. The 1957-58 Report, therefore, includes only contributions made to the Alumni Society during the period beginning July I, 1957 and ending December 31, 1957.
The number of contributors to the University Alumni Society during the six months' period to which reference has been made was 5,274. The total amount contributed was $67,158.77. The average ;,mount paid by each donor was .$12.74.
It should be pointed out that the figures on contributions to the Alumni Society of the University do not include contributions made directly to the University of Georgia Foundation with headquarters in Atlanta and neither do they include any donations made to the Joint Tech-Georgia Fund.
During the period beginning July I, 1957 and ending June 30, 1958, 22,811 alumni of the Georgia Institute of Technology were given opportunities to make contributions for the support of various phases of the program of the institution. The figures indicate that there were 9,390 responses to the appeals made and that the total amount contributed was $233,769.29. The average amount of the gifts was $24.90.
The figures for Georgia Tech, unlike those for the University, include gifts to the Alumni Association, the Georgia Tech Foundation, and the Joint Tech-Georgia Development Fund.
NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM Annual Reports for previous years have set forth in considerable
62
detail the needs of the University System and its institutions. Furthermore, Committees of the General Assembly have studied the needs of the System and have come up with recommendations that parallel very closely those that have been presented by the Board of Regents.
Suffice it to say that a growing organi;ation like the University System and one that is constantly being asked to provide new and expanded services mw,t necessarily have from time to time increased funds for operations. The construction of new buildings makes it necessary that additional funds be set aside for plant operations. Larger numbers of ;twlents require additional faculty members.
New teaching and re,earch programs can be established only when
funds are available for new staff members. Recognizing the need for additional funds lor operations, the officials of the State have generously provided to the Board of Regents an increase of $3,000,000.00 for operations during 1958-59. This increase "ill be of material aiel to the Regents and the institutions of the System in their clforts to provide an educational program of the highest possible quality for the people of Georgia.
During recent years many new buildings have been erected throughout the University System. The plant deficiencies of the institutions were so great that the needs for additional facilities have not yet been fully met. The Reports of the presidents of the institutions list many other buildings that arc sorely needed and that should be constructed just as soon as funds are available.
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. '\'e trust that those who are interested in knowing more about the work of the University System will rcacl the reports of the presidents and talk with those who are striving to carry on the State's program in the field of higher education.
On behalf of the Board of Regents and the employees of the University System, l want to thank the Governor, State officials, and members of the General Assembly for their sympathetic consideration of our many requests and for the support and cooperation that they have given to us.
On behalf of the Board, I want to thank the personnel of the University System for their loyal and devoted service to their institu-
63
tions and to the people of the State. No group could have llischarged its obligations more faithfully.
And finally, on behalf of the employees of the University System and those to whose service the System is dedicate(l, let me thank the members of the Board of Regents for the leadership that they have given to the State's program of higher education, for the careful consi(leration that they have given to every matter that has been brought to their attention, and for the understanding and cooperative spirit with which they have labored for the advancement of the interests of our State and its citizens.
Respectfully submi ttell, Harmon W. Caldwell
