REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
ROBERT 0. ARNOLD, CHAIRMAN COVINGTON, GEORGIA
HonorableS. Ernest Vandiver Governor, State of Georgia State Capitol Atlanta 3, Georgia My dear Governor Vandiver:
In accordance with the provision 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, 1958, and ending June 30, 1959.
Sincerely,
Robert 0. Arnold

REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY. SYSTEM-OF GEORGIA 1958-59 AcADEMIC YEAR
To THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA:
It is a privilege to submit to you a report covering some of the major aspects of the work of the University System of Georgia and its institutions for the year that ended on June 30, 1959.
The reports of the presidents of the several institutions present the details of the internal operations of the institutions. Some of these reports have been printed and are available to members of the Board of Regents and to any citizen of the State who may wish to have them. The reports of all institutions for 1958-59 are in the files of the Office of the Board of Regents and may be inspected at any time. 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
NEW INSTITUTIONS. The report for 1957-58 discussed plans for the t!l.pansion of the junior college program of the University System. The Columbus College, whose establishment was authorized by the Board of Regents in May of 1958, began operations in temporary quarters in September of 1958. The Junior College of Augusta, which had been under the jurisdiction of the Richmond County Board of Education for a number of years, began to function as a unit of the University System in September of 1958. The Regents authorized that the name of the Junior College of August:~ be changed to "Augusta College." The Armstrong College of Savannah, which operated for years as a municipallysupported junior college, became a unit of the University System as of January 1, 1959.
Plans are now being made for the erection of a plant to house the Columbus College. Plans are also being made for the improvement of the plant facilities of the junior colleges in Augusta and Savannah. Governor Griffin made to the Board of Regents a special allocation of $392,500.00 for the operation of these three junior colleges during 1958-59.
INCREASES IN STATE ALLOCATIONS. The University System received from the State for operations during 1958-59 $3,392,500.00 more than
2

it received during the preceding year. The appropriation of the General
Assembly remained at $20,1 oopoo.oo, o"- which $3,000,000.00 was
earmarked for the operation of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital. Governor Griffin increased the allotment for operations from $2,000,000.00 to $5,392,500.00. The total amount received from the State for operations during I 958-59, including $3,000,000.00 for the Hospital, was $25,492,500.00.
In addition to the increased allotment for operating expenses, Governor Griffin made special allotments for special and non-recurring purposes. He made $2,000,000.00 available for the construction in Cobb County of a new plant for the Southern Technical Institute. Cobb County had previously provided land as a site for the new plant. Governor Griffin also made an allotment of $450,000.00 for the construction of an Art-Industrial Arts Building on the campus of the Georgia Teachers College at Statesboro and an allotment of $65,000.00 for an Administration-Auditorium Building at the Southeast Georgia Branch Experiment Station at Midville.
BuiLDING PRoGRAM. During 1958-59 construction work was completed on new buildings at various institutions of the System at a total cost of $3,699,886.00. On June 30, 1959 construction work was going forward on other new building projects. The estimated cost of the buildings under construction is $23,695,918.00. Plans were being prepared for other new buildings. The estimated cost of the projects for which plans were being drawn is $13,670,783.00. Arrangements for the financing of the cost of the proposed new buildings have been completed.
STUDENT ENROLLMENT. The cumulative enrollment of resident students in institutions of the University System during the regular nine months' session of 1958-59 was 32,662. This is the largest student enrollment in the history of the University System.
The enrollment figure given above includes students in the three new junior colleges. If we exclude the enrollment figures for the three new institutions, we find that the cumulative enrollment in the other sixteen institutions that operated under the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents during 1957-58 was 30,632 in the 1958-59 academic year. The enrollment in these same sixteen institutions during 1957-58 was 29,595. The percentage increase in the cumulative enrollment for 1958-59 was approximately 3.5%.

APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS,
INSTITUTIONAL HEADSHIPS AND REGENTS' STAFF
During the past year resignations, retirements, and deaths brought about many changes in the administrative staffs and faculties of the institutions. These changes are recorded in the reports of the presidents. In this report we shall make reference only to changes in the personnel of the Board of Regents, the Board's staff, and the presidencies.
On January 1, 1959 the terms of office of Mr. Morris Bryan and Mr. C. L. Moss expired. Mr. Morris Bryan of Jefferson, Georgia, became a member of the Board on October 12, 1955. He succeeded Mr. Edgar B. Dunlap, Sr., who died on September 30, 1955. Mr. Bryan has served the Board with great distinction since the time of his appointment. On February 3, 1959 GovernorS. Ernest Vandiver reappointed Mr. Morris Bryan to the Board of Regents for a seven-year term expiring on January 1, 1966.
Mr. C. L. Moss of Calhoun, Georgia, was appointed to the Board of Regents by Governor Talmadge for a term beginning on January 1, 1952 and expiring on January 1, 1959. As a member of the Board and as Chairman of the Board's Committee on Research and Extension, Mr. Moss performed a great service for the University System and the cause of higher education in Georgia. To succeed Mr. Moss on the expiration of his term of office, Governor Vandiver appointed Dr. Ernest L. Wright of Rome, Georgia. Dr. Wright is a distinguished educator and he is now President of the Darlington School in Rome. He is peculiarly well-qualified for service on the Board of Regents.
President Foreman M. Hawes served for many years as President of the Armstrong College of Savannah. He discharged the duties of his office in an exceedingly capable manner. When it became certain that the Armstrong College would become a unit of the University System on January 1, 1959, the Board of Regents officially indicated its desire that Mr. Hawes continue to serve as President of the Armstrong College. This action was taken on November 12, 1958.
As was indicated in last year's report, Dr. Edgar R. Pund retired from the presidency of the Medical College of Georgia on July 1, 1958 after a long and distinguished career as a professor and administrator. Since the retirement of Dr. Pund, Dr. Harry B. O'Rear, Dean of the Medical College, has served as Acting President. Dr. O'Rear has given splendid leadership to the institution during the past year.
The report for 1957-58 also indicated that Dr. George M. Sparks, the retired President of the Georgia State College of Business Adminis-
4

tration, died on October 29, 1958 and that Dr. J. W. Holley, the retired President of the Albany State College, died 041 July 16, 1958.
There were two changes in the staff of the Regents' Office that became effective during the early part of the 1958-59 academic year. It was pointed out in last year's report that on August 15, 1958 Dr. John R. Hills succeeded Dr. J. A. Davis as Director of Testing and Guidance. In August 1959 Dr. Arthur M. Gignilliat joined the staff of the Regents' Office. Dr. Gignilliat is a native Georgian. He holds the Ph.D. dt:gree from the University of Texas. He has had a distinguished educational career and has served as a member of the faculties of the Lanier High School in Macon, the Armstrong College in Savannah, and the University of Arkansas Graduate Center in Little Rock.
FACULTIES OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM The total number of faculty members in the resident teaching institutions during 1958-59, exclusive of the Medical College, was I ,466. Of this number, 59 faculty members were in the three junior colleges that operated for the first time as units of the University System during 1958-59. The institutions that were members of the University System during 1957-58 had 1,407 faculty members during the 1958-59 academic year. This represents an increase of I 06 faculty members as compared with the preceding year. These figures do not include admimstrators, librarians, or research workers; neither do they include 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 of faculty rank whose names appear in the instructional budgets for resident teaching at the college level. The table shows

1 Includes 18 Lecturers with average salary of $5,204.00. 2 Includes 11 Lecturers with average salary of $4,450.00.

The average salary of all teachers at the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology during 1958-59 was $6,226.00 on a nine months' basis as compared with an average salary of $5,873.00 during the preceding year.
The average salary of faculty members in other senior institutions of the University System-including institutions for white and colored students-was $5,331.00 in 1958-59 as compared with an average salary of $5,006.00 in the preceding year.
The average salary of faculty members in junior colleges that were in the University System in 1957-58 was $4,798.000 during 1958-59 as compared with an average salary of $4,536.00 during the preceding year.
The average salary of all teachers in the University System during 1958-59 was $5,794.00. The comparable figure for 1957-58 was $5,-

6

457.00. The average increase per teacher for 1958-59 as compared with 1957-58 was $337.00-or approxim:rtely 6.2%.
In computing increases in salaries, the salaries paid by the three new junior colleges were not considered because these institutions were not in the University System during 1957-58.
During 1958-59 the Alumni Foundations of the University of Georgia and of Georgia Tech continued to provide their respective institutions with funds for supplementing the State salaries of some outstanding faculty members. The Georgia State College of Business Administration was able to supplement the salaries of a few faculty members with the proceeds of grants received from business and industrial organizations. These supplements, which were comparatively small, are not included in the salary averages that have been set forth.
WORKLOAD OF FACULTY MEMBERS
The figures in the next table show the number of faculty members and other teachers, in terms of full-time equivalents, who taught in each institution during the regular nine months' session of 1958-59. The figures include only those who taught at the college level and who were paid from State funds.
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 time that teachers without faculty status devoted to teaching duties. The figures, as was said above, are in terms of full-time equivalents.
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 dividing the average student enrollment in each institution during the re~ular session by the average number of persons who taught.
The third column shows the average number of hours per week taught by faculty members in each of the several institutions. Hours devoted to preparation for classes and to other official duties are not shown.
The fourth column shows the average teaching load per quarter in terms of student quarter hours of credit for faculty members in the various institutions. A course that meets five times each week for one quarter carries five quarter hours credit. If a teacher conducts such a course for twenty students, his teaching load for that course is one hundred student quarter credit hours.

The figures set forth above show that the number of full-time equivalent teachers is only slightly above the number of faculty members. The difference is much smaller than it has been at any time in recent years. This indicates that the institutions are relying less heavily on part-time teachers, teaching assistants, and others without faculty rank.

FACULTY SALARY SCHEDULE
Because of the upward revisions that have been made in faculty salaries within the past two or three years, it became necessary to revise the salary schedule that was approved by the Board of Regents in January 1957. The revised schedule, as approved by the Board of Regents on April 22, 1959, is set forth below. The salaries listed are for employment on a nine months' basis. Additional compensation is paid to those who teach during a fourth quarter of the academic year.
Although fairly substantial increases have been made in faculty salaries during recent years, the average salaries in the various institutions of the University System are, in most cases, considerably below the salaries in other universities and colleges with which they have to compete for the services of faculty members of ability and distinction. This is particularly true in the case of teachers with the rank of

8

Professor or Associate Professor. If we hope to be able to secure and retain outstanding teachers and schola~, we must raise our salaries to a higher level.

COMMENTS ON FACULTY WORK
At no time in the history of the University System have our institutions had abler and more dedicated faculties than they have at the present time. The professional qualifications of faculty members in most of the institutions are very impressive and compare favorably with the qualifications of faculty members in the strongest colleges and universities in the South.
Many of our faculty members are going forward with programs of advanced graduate work so that they may be able to discharge even more effectively the duties of their positions. During 1958-59 a total of 288 faculty members took some advanced graduate work. Approximately one-fourth of this number were on leave for graduate study. The others took work while teaching or took the work during the summer. Members of the staffs of the Agricultural Experiment Stations and of the Agricultural Extension Service, like members of the teaching faculties, are engaged in studies leading to higher degrees. During the past year fourteen members of the staffs of the Experiment Stations and twenty-three members of the staff of the Agricultural Extension Service were doing such work.
The presidents of the institutions have commended highly the work of their respective faculties. The Board of Regents wishes to join the presidents in thanking the faculty members for the thorough, constructive, and inspiring manner in which they are discharging their duties.

T he number of degrees conferred during 1958-59 was 4,397. The number of degrees conferred during the preceding yea r was 4,249 . There was an increase of 148.
T he number of certificates and diplomas granted during 195 8-59 was 887. This figure includes 193 diplomas granted by the Augusta College, the Columbus College, and the Arm strong College. These three institutions were not members of the University System during 1957-5 8. The other institution s of the System granted 694 diplomas during 195859 as compared with 643 diplom as granted during 1957-58.

STUDENTS
STUDENT ENROL~MENTS
During 1957-58 there were sixteen teaching institutions in the University System of Georgia. In that year the cumulative enrollment in the sixteen institutions during the regular nine months' session was 29,595. The average enrollment for that year in terms of full-time equivalent students was 21,636.
During 1958-59 these same sixteen institutions had a cumulative enrollment of 30,632 during the regular session and an average fulltime equivalent enrollment of 22,637. These figures represent increases of 3.5% and 4.6%, respectively, over the corresponding figures for 1957-58.
It is interesting to note that, while the increase in the cumulative enrollment of all sixteen institutions was 3.5%, the increase in the cumulative enrollment in the three institutions for Negro students was slightly more than 10%.
Three new institutions became units of the University System either at the beginning of the 1958-59 academic year or during the course of that year. These institutions are the Augusta College, the Columbus College, and the Armstrong College. The cumulative enrollment of these three institutions was 2,030 and the average full-time equivalent enrollment was 1,388. These figures must be added to the figures given above for the sixteen institutions in order to arrive at the total enrollment figures for 1958-59.
The figures in the following table indicate that the total cumulative enrollment in all nineteen institutions during 1958-59 was 32,662 and that the average full-time equivalent enrollment was 24,025.
It should be pointed out that the figures in the following table 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.
At the Georgia State College of Business Administration and at the Armstrong College there are large numbers of students who work during the day 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 enrollments at these institutions in terms of full-time equivalent students are considerably below the cumulative figures.

Enrollment figures for Armstrong College arc not included in the last preceding table and they arc not included in the following tables on enrollments. The Armstrong College did not come into the System until January I, 1959 and the College is not now in a position to furnish enrollment data comparable to that supplied by institutions that were in the System for the full year.
It will be noted from a comparison of the above table with a similar table for 1957-58 that, even with the omission of the Armstrong College figures, there were I,20 I more first-year students in 1958-59 than there were during the preceding year. It is also significant that the number of graduate students increased from 943 in 1957-58 to l ,239 in 1958-59.

BREAKDOWN OF RESIDENT ENROLLMENT
The figures in the following table give a breakdown of cumulative enrollments during the 1958-59 regular session as between men and women and also as between veterans and non-veterans. The enroll-

16

ment of veteran students continues to decline and during 1958-59 the enrollment figure for veterans was 1,005 below the figure for 1957-58. During 1958-59 the enrollment of non-veteran students was considerably higher than in the preceding year.

The next table shows the enrollments during the first and second sessions of the 1958 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.
Although no summer enrollment figures for any one of the three new institutions are included in the following table, a comparison of figures for 1958-59 with corresponding figures for the preceding year shows that there was an increase of 1,518 students. This represents an increase of 14% over the summer enrollment for 1957.

ENROLLMENT IN CREDIT COURSES OFFERED BY THE EXTENSION DIVISIONS
The Continuing Education Center of the University of Georgia and the Extension Division of the Georgia Institute of Technology offer many courses for academic credit. The University's Extension program embraces the work of the Off-Campus Centers, and work offered in extension classes and by correspondence. Extension courses for credit at Georgia Tech are offered in the Evening School and at the Southern Technical Institute. The figures in the next table show the cumulative enrollments during the four quarters of the 1958-59 academic year, the average number of individual students per quarter, and the average enrollment per quarter in terms of full-time equivalent students.

Comparisons of the figures in the above table with corresponding figures for 1957-58 reveal that the average number of full-time equivalent students in extension programs of the University decreased by 182. The enrollment in the Georgia Tech Evening School was 61 less in 1958-59 than in the preceding year. The average full-time equivalent enrollment of the Southern Technical Institute increased from 694 m 1957-58 to 751 in 1958-59.
The Extension Divisions of both the University of Georgia and of Georgia Tech conduct many courses, institutes, and conferences that carry no credit toward a degree. Work of this nature is discussed in the section of this Report entitled Public Services.

SATURDAY CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS
During the 1958-59 academic year several institutions offered Saturday and evening classes. Some of the institutions also conducted special workshops for teachers. The University of Georgia and Emory University continued to sponsor a program for in-service teachers in the Atlanta area.

Most of the work of this character is treated as work in residence and it carries full academic credit. :rhe num~r of students registering for these various programs during 1958-59 are shown in the following table.

STUDENT WORK AND ACTIVITIES
GENERAL CoMMENTS. The reports from practically all of the institutions comment favorably on the character of the students, their seriousness of purpose, and their general behavior.
Dr. J. A. Williams, Dean of Students at the University of Georgia, makes the following statement in his Annual Report to the President:
'The typical student at the University of Georgia is far superior to the average student of ten, twenty, or fifty years ago. This is true not only as to academic ability but also as to maturity of judgment and standards of behavior."
President E. D. Harrison of the Georgia Institute of Technology makes this comment on the students at that institution:
"Our student body as a whole is serious in purpose, well-behaved, and studious. They are a source of pride both on the campus and when representing the institution elsewhere."
The following statement by a group of military inspection officers regarding certain students at the North Georgia College tends to confirm the opinions of the institutional officials:
"At North Georgia College one finds well selected, capable, effective cadet officers given maximum practicable authority, carrying out their responsibilities in a conscientious, tireless manner; and the cadets, earnest young men, willing and eager individually to do their part in meeting high standards. The current result is a corps of cadets approaching perfection.

21

These and other similar statements in the Annual Reports of the various institutions indicate that the citize.ns of Georgia have reason to be proud of the young men and young women who are students in the State's institutions of higher learning.
AcADEMIC WoRK. Although the academic work of the students is reasonably good and shows signs of improvement from year to year, it is not yet, for the student bodies as a whole, characterized by a high degree of excellence. As has been pointed out in previous reports, the institutions believe that this situation is due, in part, to the fact that they have accepted as students some young people who lack the ability to do college work satisfactorily, and that it is also due, in part, to the fact that some students with innate ability are inadequately prepared for college work because of deficiencies in the programs of the high schools from which they come. Cooperative studies are now being made by the University System and by the State Department of Education in an effort to see that high school graduates who are admitted to college will be students who are more capable of doing a superior grade of work at the college level.
The institutions of the University System are undertaking to raise gradually their academic standards and to stiffen the requirements that students must meet in order to remain in college. The result is that considerable numbers of students are being dropped each year for academic deficiencies. During the three quarters of the 1958-59 regular session the University of Georgia, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Georgia State College of Business Administration dropped 1,351 students for failing to maintain a satisfactory level of academic work. Of this number, 380 were at the University of Georgia, 592 at Georgia Tech, and 379 at the Georgia State College of Business Administration. Three of the four-year colleges for white students dropped 163 students for the same reasons and the three four-year colleges for Negro students dropped 119 students. The seven junior colleges for white students dismissed 252 students because of unsatisfactory work. It is apparent that, in order to avoid the waste of time and money, greater efforts must be put forth to get into our colleges students who can really profit from the educational opportunities that are provided for them.
CoNDUCT. The conduct of the students in all institutions was very satisfactory. No institution had any major problem during the year because of misbehavior of students. Of the more than 32,000 students registered in the institutions of the System during 1958-59, only 122 were dismissed for disciplinary reasons. Most of the offences were of
22

a minor nature and most of the students can be readmitted after a reasonable lapse of time.
FINANCIAL Am TO STUDENTS. The number of students applying for loans and jobs continues to grow. In 1948-49 the University of Georgia made loans to 52 students. In 1958-59, ten years later, the University made loans to 531 students. The aggregate amount of the loans made in 1958-59 was $161,014.00-or an average of $303.00 for each borrower. In addition to those receiving loans, there were 425 students who received scholarships. Some of these scholarships are administered by the University and others are administered and awarded by national foundations, business enterprises, and local organizations. The number of University students seeking part-time employment during the 195859 school year was 911.
During the past year the Georgia Institute of Technology made 1,147 student loans. The total amount of these loans was $154,968.00. Georgia Tech also awarded 185 scholarships in an aggregate amount of about $75,000.00 It assisted about 650 students in securing parttime or temporary jobs.
Because of funds available to institutions under the terms of the National Defense Education Act, most of the colleges of the System were able to provide more loans for students during 1958-59 than they were able to do in earlier years. An institution is eligible to receive funds through the United States Office of Education for loan purposes, provided it is able to make available from its own funds an amount equal to one-ninth of the amount advanced by the U. S. Office of Education. Institutions having loan funds for students were able, in some instances, to use these funds for matching purposes. Institutions having no loan funds available for matching purposes were quite successful in their appeals to alumni and friends for contributions with which to match federal grants.
Practically all of the institutions provided considerable numbers of their students with part-time jobs. For instance, several of the fouryear colleges provided from I 00 to 200 part-time jobs for students and some of the junior colleges were able to employ from 50 to 100 students in part-time jobs.
In spite of diligent efforts on the part of the institutions to assist all students who needed aid, they were not able to take care of all applicants. Practically every institution reports that a few deserving students were forced to discontinue their college education because of lack of money. This situation emphasizes the need that exists for more scholarship funds. Now that the people have approved a Constitutional amend-
23

ment authorizing the use of State funds for schol arship purposes, it is hoped that the Gove rnor and the- General f\ ssembly will find it possible in the nea r future to ma ke some money available for assisting able students who, without such assistance, will be deprived of the opportunity to receive a college education .
A c TI V IT I ES. AIL institutions of the System continue to provide comprehensive and well-rounded programs of extracurricula r acti vities for their students. They stri ve to provide for all students a stimul ating social and cultural environment. R egardless of what a student's special interest may be, he ca n find an activity through which that interest may be given express ion . E very institution cooperates with local churches in an effort to foster and encourage the spiritual and religious development of students. Spiritual growth is just as important as growth in the intellectu al and social realms.

INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM
NEW DEGREES AND CuRRICULA
On matters involving the addition of new curricula and the establishment of new degree programs, the Board of Regents through the years has followed a very conservative policy. Nevertheless, the Board has been willing to approve new programs of instructional work when the need for such new programs was clearly established and when funds were available for the development of programs of high quality.
During the past year several new programs were authorized by the Board of Regents. The more important authorizations of this type are listed below.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The development of the new Science Center at the University of Georgia in Athens makes it possible for the University to offer programs of advanced graduate work in the fields of Chemistry and Physics.
At its March 1959 meeting the Board of Regents authorized the University, effective in September 1959, to inaugurate a program of work leading to the Ph.D. degree in Chemistry. In June 1959 the Board approved the request of the University that it be authorized, effective in September 1959, to establish a program leading to the Ph.D. degree in Physics.
The University now offers work leading to the doctorate in each of eleven different fields.
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
In February 1959 the Georgia Institute of Technology was authorized to establish two new curricula at the undergraduate level. One of these curricula leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering Mechanics and the other leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Applied Psychology.
GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
In September 1958 the Georgia State College of Business Administration was given authorization to establish a four-year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Advertising and Art.
At its November 1958 meeting the Board approved the request of the Georgia State College of Business Administration that it be au-
25

thorized to establish two new curricula leading to bachelor's degrees. One of these curricula leads to the degree't)f Bachelor of Music and the other to the A.B. degree with a major in the field of Sociology.
In May 1959 the Georgia State College was authorized, effective in September 1960, to offer a graduate program leading to the degree of Master of Business Administration with a major in Business Education.
WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE
At its meeting in March 1959 the Board authorized the West Georgia College, effective in September 1959, to offer undergraduate programs leading to the A.B. degree with majors in the fields of English, Social Science and Mathematics.
GEORGIA TEACHERS CoLLEGE
In February 1959 the Board authorized the Georgia Teachers College to inaugurate at the beginning of the Summer Quarter of 1959 a program of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in French. At the February meeting the Georgia Teachers College was also granted permission to establish a four-year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Recreation.
In April 1959 the Georgia Teachers College was authorized, beginning in September 1959, to offer a four-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in Business Administration. At the April meeting the College was also granted permission, effective in September 1959, to offer graduate work leading to the degree of Master of Education in the teaching field of Business Education.
FoRT VALLEY STATE CoLLEGE
At its meeting in May 1959 the Fort Valley State College was authorized, effective in September 1959, to offer a program of work leading to the Bachelor's degree with a major in French.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
In March 1959 the Board of Regents considered and approved the request of the Savannah State College that it be authorized to discontinue the program leading to the B.A. degree in Music and to offer in place of the discontinued program a new program leading to the B.S. degree in Music Education.
26

CHANGES IN THE PROGRAM OF GENERAL EXTENSION WORK
In November 1958 the Board of Regents adopted policies that were designed to prevent duplication of effort as between colleges for students in residence and extension or Off-Campus Center programs in communities in which the colleges were located.
The following sentences from the Board's resolution indicates the nature of the Board's action:
"A University System college for resident students in any city or community of the State shall have the exclusive right to offer in its city or community courses of study within the scope of its authorized University System program....
"The Divisions of General Extension of the University of Georgia and of the Georgia Institute of Technology shall have no authority to offer on the campus of an institution or elsewhere in the city or community courses of study that the local institution is authorized to offer...."
For a number of years the program of General Extension work for Negro students was conducted under the supervision of the Division of General Extension of the University of Georgia. In April 1959 the Board directed that, effective with the beginning of the 1959 Summer Quarter, the Savannah State College assume the responsibility for extension classes and correspondence courses for Negro students. The Albany State College was asked to assume full responsibility for the operation of the Columbus Off-Campus Center for Negro students.
PROGRAM OF TESTING AND GUIDANCE
Since 1956 the Board of Regents has been striving to develop throughout the University System effective programs of testing and guidance. The general objective of these programs is the improvement of the quality of the students and of the instructional programs. Every applicant who seeks admission to any University System institution for the first time must take the College Entrance Examination Board's Scholastic Aptitude Test. The general supervision over these and other tests required of students is a responsibility of the University System's Director of Testing and Guidance. This position is now held by Dr. John R. Hills who joined the staff of the Regents' Office in August 1958. Dr. Hills' Annual Report for 1958-59 is set forth below.
"Although the scope and variety of activities of the Office of Testing and Guidance have been substantially enlarged since the Office was established in 1956, the purpose of the Office has remained the same,
27

that of encouraging and developing the soundest possible use of educational and psychological tests throughout;.. the University System, and, indeed, throughout the State of Georgia. In accomplishing these objectives, the Office of Testing and Guidance has developed and maintained friendly and cooperative relationships with other organizations in the State which are concerned with the same problems, e.g., the State Department of Education, the Atlanta City Schools, other Georgia colleges and universities, etc.
"In its work within the University System, the Office of Testing and Guidance has devoted a great deal of energy to the accumulation, analysis, and interpretation of data concerned with the problem of how may test scores and school grades be used to advantage by admissions officers, guidance counselors, and faculty members. For every single unit of the University System, including the Medical College, at least one study of the value of test scores and high school grades for prediction of grades in college was accomplished and reported during the year. The results of such studies assist the admissions officer by providing him with a detailed and accurate procedure for estimating for any student the likelihood of success in college work. The same data have been translated into a slightly different form so that they may be used by high school guidance counselors for advising students about going to college. Three times during the year we have distributed throughout the State's high schools detailed information on the use of test scores and high school records for making the same kinds of predictions in our University System colleges as the admissions officers, themselves, would make. In addition to these studies, we have examined in detail the students who have withdrawn from University System units for one reason or another. The output of our various research efforts has been distributed in the form of approximately 35 different documents which have been sent to the individuals and groups who would be most interested or most affected by their contents.
"Conducting such research is a major part of the continuing work of the Office of Testing and Guidance. However, we realize that there is little value in conducting and reporting research if the results are not understood or used by the consumers. Therefore, members of the office have visited with units of the University System and other colleges and organizations on a large number of occasions. During this year the Director has been on the campus to meet with staff members of every unit of the System, many of them twice, and a few of them even more often. These contacts with the faculties and administrations of the units are exceedingly important both for developing strong testing
28

and guidance programs and for keeping the Office of Testing and Guidance informed as to current activitie,s, in the System and current needs for research or other assistance.
"In addition to working specifically with the units of the System, the Office of Testing and Guidance has felt it important to communicate with the people of the State of Georgia about testing work in the University System and in other Georgia colleges. To this end during the year members of the Office of Testing and Guidance Staff have addressed over 1,000 high school counselors and principals, both white and colored, describing the work of the Office of Testing and Guidance and how the results of our research would be of use at the high school level. Many of these presentations were under the auspices of the State Department of Education. In addition to this, the Director has spoken at public meetings and to various organizations, has appeared on television, was interviewed several times by reporters, and has discussed this work at national conventions of organizations such as the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
"There are two routine activities or services which are supplied annually by the Office of Testing and Guidance, and were supplied during the current year. The first of these is a test-scoring service which provides, free of charge, IBM test-scoring facilities for processing thousands of tests for units of the University System. The other activity is assisting the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce in its selection of winners in the Student Teacher Achievement Recognition Program. During this year we selected state, district, system, and school winners from a total of approximately 13,000 entries.
"One unique activity this year was assisting the units of the University System in developing and improving their statements of admissions procedures. Partly, this was brought about by the enactment by the Georgia Legislature of a law concerning the ages of students who can be admitted to University System colleges. The Office of Testing and Guidance has organized and conducted other conferences on such topics as admissions testing, the problems of transfer students, etc.
"In general, this year has seen rapid and encouraging growth in the activities of testing and guidance throughout the University System. The units are currently reconsidering and revising their own orientationand achievement-testing programs, and many units are now acquiring or employing persons specifically trained in testing and guidance to develop these functions. It appears that the public school people in the State of Georgia are generally enthusiastic about the introduction of the College Entrance Examination Board's Scholastic Aptitude Test,
29

and about the latest procedures we have developed for use in conjunction with it for the schools of G.eorgia. A~ these developments continue, based on a solid foundation of continuing research and investigation, our Georgia colleges should begin to receive the maximum benefits from the use of educational and psychological tests, one of the central features of a well-organized and administered educational program."
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NEGRO STUDENTS
During 1958-59 the Board of Regents continued its policy of assisting Negro students to secure at institutions outside the University System graduate and professional work 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. The scholarship aid covers the difference between the cost of attending a University System institution and the cost of attending the institution in which the student decides to enroll.
During 1958-59, 1,616 individual students received 2,145 scholarship aid grants for graduate and professional study at seventy-three institutions. With the exception of Atlanta University, all of the institutions attended by holders of these scholarships are located in other states. These 1,616 students took work in thirty-one major fields. The major field having the largest number of students was Education with a total of 1,209 students. The total cost of the scholarship program during 1958-59 was $267,266.38.
The revised figure on the number of individuals receiving scholarships during 1957-58 is 1,845. It is apparent, therefore, that the number of individuals receiving scholarships during 1958-59 was 229 less than during the preceding year. The cost of the program was also $21,271.62 less during 1958-59 than it was during 1957-58. The decline in the number of persons receiving scholarship aid is due largely to the fact that the Fort Valley State College now offers a graduate program in the field of Elementary Education. Applicants may not receive scholarship aid for the pursuit of a graduate program in a field that is open to them in a University System institution. As graduate programs are developed in our institutions for Negro students, it is probable that there will be further declines in the number of scholarships granted.
The aggregate amount of money made available for scholarships for Negro students since the program was inaugurated in 1943 is $2,022,410.55.
30

REGIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
During 1958-59 the State of. Georgia oontinued its contractual relationships with the Southern Regional Education Board. The Board of Regents on behalf of the State paid to the Regional Board $81,500.00 during the year. Of this amount, $20,000.00 was for the support of the general operations of the Regional Board and $8,000.00 was for the support of the Regional Board's research program in Mental Health. The Regents paid $40,000.00 for places for twenty Negro students from Georgia at the Meharry Medical College and it paid an additional $13,500.00 for places for nine Negro students in the School of Veterinary Medicine of the Tuskegee Institute.
Under a contract with the Regional Board, the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Georgia receives students from the States of South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. During 1958-59 the University of Georgia received under the contract with the Regional Board the sum of $189,000.00 for providing instructional services for 126 students from these four states.
The Southern Regional Education Board now occupies a building that was constructed on the Georgia Tech campus for its use. The cost of this building and its equipment was approximately $250,000.00. The Regional Board will pay for the cost of this building by reducing its charges to Georgia by $10,000.00 per year for a period of twentyfive years beginning with the 1959-60 fiscal year.
RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS
Throughout the University System there is a continually increasing interest in and a growing emphasis on research activities. The major research programs must necessarily be carried on in the larger institutions with graduate and professional programs. In most of the other senior institutions, however, some really significant research projects are under way.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
Most of the general and fundamental research work at the University of Georgia is carried on by faculty members working under the supervision of the Director of General Research who is also Dean of the Graduate School. The University's applied and practical research programs are, for the most part, conducted in the agricultural experiment stations that are located in various parts of the State. The research activities of the various experiment stations are coordinated through
31

the office of the Director of Agricultural Research who maintains his headquarters in Athens.
GENERAL RESEARCH
During 1958-59 research activities were carried on by faculty members in every department of the University. Some projects were handled by individual faculty members and work on other projects was conducted by organized agencies within the University, including the Bureau of Business Research, the Institute of Law and Government, the Bureau of Educational Statistics and Field Studies, and the Marine Biology Station on Sapelo Island.
Faculty members in increasingly large numbers are receiving grants from outside sources for research studies. Every member of the faculty of the Department of Bacteriology has received at least two grants for research work. Eight of the eleven members of the Department of Zoology have been awarded research grants. As a matter of fact, some departments are being offered more research grants than they are able to handle. For instance, the School of Pharmacy was forced to refuse a $15,000.00 grant for a pharmacological study of a new insecticide because of space and manpower limitations. The increase in the number of grants is evidence of the fact that the quality of research work at the University is being recognized outside as well as within the State.
In addition to the research programs, there was much creative work going forward in the Departments of Music and of the Fine Arts. Mr. Dodd was going forward with the study of the Arts of the United States with the aid of a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Mr. Hodgson and other members of the faculty of the Department of Music produced a number of musical compositions.
During the past year the University expended for its program of general research the sum of $566,948.17. Of this amount, $232,989.00 was expended through the College of Arts and Sciences. Funds for the research programs come from various foundations, from agencies of the federal government, and from allotments of State funds.
It is impossible within the scope of this report to describe the various projects on which work was done. Suffice it to say that, out of the research work of the members of the faculty of the University during 1958-59, there came publications of 96 books, papers, and abstracts. At the end of the year there were 79 manuscripts ready for publication. Faculty members during the past year also produced and read 102 research papers before professional groups. A list of the titles of all these
32

33

publications and papers will be found in the Annual Report of the Dean of the Graduate School and the Director of<(ieneral Research.
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
The agricultural research program of the University continues to be carried on through three experiment stations, five branch stations, and a number of field stations. Through a coordinated program, the College of Agriculture and the experiment stations are constantly at work on hundreds of studies that are designed to produce better strains of crops and herds, improved methods of cultivation and production, harvesting, preserving, and marketing.
The Director of the Agricultural Research Stations says in his Annual Report that the 1958-59 year was in many respects the most successful in the history of agricultural research in Georgia. He points to many new findings in the poultry, livestock, and plant production fields that, when put into practice, will be of great benefit to the agricultural program of the State. The Director makes special mention of the need for stronger research programs in the fields of agricultural adjustment, finance, and management.
During recent years there has been a steady increase in the amount of State funds available for the operation of the agricultural experiment stations. During 1948-49, for instance, the amount of State funds allotted for agricultural research was approximately $330,000.00. In 1953-54 this figure had risen to $902,400.00 and in 1958-59 it was $1 ,558,000.00. The agricultural research program receives additional support from the federal government and other sources and, as a result, the budgeted expenditures for agricultural research are far in excess of the State allocation. During 1958-59 the total expenditures for agricultural research, exclusive of capital improvements, amounted to $3,626,753.08.
With increased funds the staffs of the agricultural experiment stations have been enlarged and strengthened. Salaries have been increased. The number of workers in the agricultural experiment stations who held faculty rank during 1958-59 was 155. More than one-fourth of this number were persons with doctor's degrees in their respective fields of specialization.
During 1957-58 expenditures for new construction and repairs in the agricultural experiment stations amounted to $809,000.00. In 195859 an additional $400,000.00 was expended for plant development and equipment. The 1958-59 figure includes money made available by Governor Griffin for the construction of Administration-Auditorium
34

Buildings at the Northwest Georgia Branch Station at Calhoun and the Southeast Georgia Branch S1ation at Midville.
During 1958-59 research studies in the experiment stations resulted in the publication of 13 printed bulletins, 28 mimeographed bulletins, and approximately 150 papers in professional journals and popular publications. The results of research studies went, in many instances, directly to the farmers. For instance, the Georgia Experiment Station at Griffin issued 813,000 copies of publications for the purpose of disseminating its research findings. During the year more than 12,500 people visited the Georgia Experiment Station and its branch, the Mountain Experiment Station. Other stations and branch stations also distributed publications and worked directly with farmers and farm groups. Perhaps the most effective dissemination of research findings was made by workers of the Agricultural Extension Service, one of whose chief functions is to carry directly to farms and farm homes the findings and recommendations of the agricultural research workers.
Another valuable service to farmers is made through the soil testing program. During 1958-59 the College Experiment Station, the Georgia Experiment Station, and the Coastal Plain Experiment Station tested for farmers of the State more than 60,000 soil samples and made recommendations for the proper use of fertilizer and lime.
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
In 1959 the Engineering Experiment Station of the Georgia Institute of Technology completed its twenty-fifth year of operation. Dr. J. E. Boyd, Director of the Station, says in his Annual Report:
"And, fittingly, the 25th year was the best all-around year in the history of research at Georgia Tech. By all measures, the value of services to the Institute, to the State, to industry, and to the nation during this year reached new heights."
The completion of the Radioisotopes and Bioengineering Laboratory Building, one of the finest research facilities of its kind in the world, was the most important improvement in physical plant and equipment. The installation of a large general-purpose computer, the Burroughs 220, helped the Rich Electronic Computer Center double its capacity for service. The AC Network Calculator was also enlarged and improved so that it could better serve the power systems of the South. Planning went forward on one of the largest projects on which Georgia Tech has ever worked. This is the proposed nuclear reactor research facility. During the year Georgia Tech received from the National
35

Science Foundation a grant of $750,000.00 toward the cost of constructing this project.
During 1958-59 the staff of the Engineering Experiment Station worked on a total of 342 projects. Of this number 123 projects were handled under contracts with industrial concerns and 71 were handled under contracts with agencies of the federal government. There were 85 projects that were supported with State funds.
In addition to the staff members of the Station who worked on various projects, 110 members of the teaching faculty gave some time to research work in the Station. During 1958-59, 80 graduate students and 140 undergraduate students gained valuable research experience and needed financial aid through employment at the Station.
Out of research activities and other work by the faculty and staff of Georgia Tech there came a total of approximately 170 publications during 1958-59. The titles of these publications are listed in Georgie. Tech's Annual Report. Staff members of the Station received during the year patents on three new inventions. This brings to a total of thirteen the number of patents issued on developments resulting fron, Georgia Tech research.
During the year staff members of the Station presented 67 papers, speeches, and lectures to various professional societies and technical audiences.
The Experiment Station's accrued income during 1958-59 was $2,958,000.00. This figure is 24% above the corresponding figure for 1957-58 and is the highest in the history of the Station. Of its total income, $470,000.00 was received as an allocation from the Board of Regents. The remaining portion of the Station's income came from governmental agencies, industry, foundations, endowment income, and through direct services to Georgia Tech.
GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRAT!ON
During recent years the Georgia State College of Business Administration has been able to add to its faculty a number of persons of outstanding ability. Many of these new faculty members are scholars and research workers of a high order.
Much of the organized research work of the institution is handled through the Bureau of Economic and Business Research under the direction of Dr. W. R. Knight. Other research activities are carried on as research projects of individual faculty members, some of whom have received special grants for the support of their research endeavors.
The majority of the full-time faculty members in the School of Busi-
36

ness Administration are engaged in some type of research work. Their efforts resulted in the publicatien during +958-59 of four books, seven articles that were published by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, seventeen articles in the Atlanta Economic Review, twentysix articles in outside publications, and seventeen book reviews. In addition to the materials published, there were five books ready for publication, four articles to be published by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, eleven articles for the Atlanta Economic Review, and five articles for outside publications.
In the School of Arts and Sciences twenty-four faculty members were engaged in research and creative work. During 1958-59 fifteen of these faculty members had to their credit a total of twenty-six publications.
In the Annual Report of the Georgia State College of Business Administration for 1958-59 will be found the names of faculty members engaged in research and creative work and lists of their publications.
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA
Every full-time member of the faculty of the Medical College is engaged in some type of research or creative work. During 1958-59 these research studies resulted in the publication of five books and in the preparation and publication of certain chapters in five other books. Eighty-two articles by faculty members were published in scientific and medical journals and one hundred and twenty papers were prepared and read at various meetings of scientific and professional groups.
The total expenditures of the Medical College for research during 1958-59 was $714,923.85. Practically all of the money for research purposes was received as grants from agencies of the federal government, from private foundations, private industry, and pharmaceutical houses.
At the close of the 1958-59 year an annex to the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital was being constructed. This annex will provide much more adequate facilities for medical research than the College now possesses. The estimated cost of this medical research annex is $1,642,889.00. A substantial part of the cost of the project is being borne by an agency of the federal government.
RESEARCH WORK AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS
For some time the West Georgia College has been cooperating with two other institutions of higher learning in making a comprehensive study of Elementary Education. Reports on this study were released on February 8, 1959. The report consists of a book entitled Educating
37

Thinking Teachers and three pamphlets entitled Some Promising Practices in Improving the Education of Teacht!rs, Some Promising Practices in Improving School-Community Relations, and Some Promising Practices in the Elementary School. The faculty members of the West Georgia College made significant contributions to these studies.
At the Georgia State College for Women six research projects were under way with financial aid provided through the Committee on Faculty Research of which Dr. J. C. Bonner is Chairman. Two other projects involved the writing of books and one involved a study on the development of an intravenous amino acid solution. Dr. Bonner and Miss Jessie Trawick received grants from outside sources for research projects. A book and two articles by Dr. Bonner were published. Mr. George F. Arnot was also the author of a published article in the field of Music Education.
At the Valdosta State College three faculty members were working on research projects. Professor Clyde Connell of the Department of Biology presented two papers before professional societies.
President L. E. Roberts of the Middle Georgia College prepared an article entitled "Egypt as a Factor in European Power Politics, 18751878." This article was published by the Duke University Press as a monograph. Committees of the faculty of the Middle Georgia College gave much time and thought to the preparation of a Self-Evaluation Study of the Middle Georgia College. The study will in all probability result in a strengthening of every phase of the work of the institution.
President Hawes of the Armstrong College reports that two of his faculty are engaged in research and creative work. Mr. Elmo M. McCray, Jr. is working on a project that is being sponsored by the U. S. Public Health Laboratory. Mr. Jack H. Padgett prepared a textbook on the Mathematics of Finance. This book has already been published.
The Albany State College had four faculty members who were working on a variety of research projects during 1958-59. Seven manuscripts dealing with these research studies have been prepared. Two of the studies have already been published in professional journals.
At the Fort Valley State College eighteen faculty members were working on twenty-five research projects during the past year. These projects were in the fields of Agriculture, Home Economics, Education, Literature, and Music.
The Savannah State College reports that during the past year Dr. N. V. McCullough wrote and published a second volume of poems. Mr. Phillip J. Hampton was engaged in creative work in the field of
38

Art. Seven faculty members prepared very significant and interesting
articles in the Faculty Research Edition t!f the Savannah State College
Bulletin.
LIBRARIES
An adequate and well-staffed library is essential to any institution that expects to do instructional and research work of a high quality. Because of this fact, the Board of Regents through the years has been striving to provide all institutions with library buildings that are adequate in size and that are suitable for the uses that are to be made of them. The Board has also undertaken to make money available for the book acquisitions needed and for the employment of professionally trained librarians.
During 1958-59 continued progress was made toward the attainment of the objectives mentioned. A new library building was completed at the Albany State College at a cost of $300,000.00. At the Savannah State College a new library building was nearing completion at the end of the academic year. It should be ready for occupancy in the Fall of 1959. The estimated cost of the Savannah College library building is $437,700.00. During the year the Board allotted $125,000.00 for the construction of an annex to the library building at the North Georgia College. Work on this project was under way at the close of the year.
During 1958-59 the teaching institutions of the System expended $1,180,665.19 for the operation of their libraries, including expenditures for books and binding. This was approximately $133,000.00 in excess of the amount expended during the preceding year. During the year 62,171 books were added to the libraries. The total number of volumes in the libraries at the end of the year was 1,130,915. Recorded circulation of books among students was 617,261. This was more than 100,000 in excess of the corresponding figure for 1957-58.
Because of the different procedures and policies followed in the various libraries of the University System, it is difficult to set forth figures that will make possible valid comparisons. The circulation figures in some institutions do not include books used by students in the library while in other institutions the circulation figures do include such use. There are differences in the practices of institutions in the handling of periodical and serial subscriptions, technical reports and documents, sound recordings, maps, slides, and films. The figures set forth in the following table, however, give some indication of book holdings and book circulation during 1958-59. The circulation figures are for the entire year, including both the regular session and the summer session. In ar-
39

riving at circulation figures pe r student, con sidera tion has been given to student enrollment over the four-qu a rte rs. -

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 school boards in making studies of the public schools. The members of few groups are more active in the civic life of the State than are members of the faculties of institutions of the University System. Activities of this type provide a public service of great value.
In this section of the report, however, we wish to discuss briefly the non-credit instructional programs that are offered by the faculty and staff members of various institutions. These non-credit instructional programs consist of institutes, short courses, and conferences. Instructional aid through conferences may be provided for a large group, or, as in the case of a farmer seeking aid from a county agent, it may be offered to one person only. Work carrying academic credit even when offered away from the campus of an institution, is discussed under the Section on Students and is not covered in this section on Public Services.
The two institutions that have the most highly organized and the most comprehensive programs of public service are the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Special reference will be made to the programs of these institutions.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The two principal agencies through which the University of Georgia provides public services for the people of the State are the Continuing Education Center and the Agricultural Extension Service.
CoNTINUING EDUCATION CENTER. 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 extension programs are set forth in the Section on Students.
The Continuing Education Center has another function of growing importance. It is providing in its magnificent new building on the campus of the University many programs that are designed to stimulate every phase of the life and activity of the people of the State. During 1958-59 the Center conducted 161 conferences that lasted for more than one day. These conferences were attended not only by adult citizens of
41

Georgia but by people from the other forty-nine states and from thirtythree foreign countries. The total attenda.!Jce at these 161 conferences was 16,828.
Perhaps some mention should be made of the purposes of the conferences and of the numbers in attendance at conferences of various kinds.

Each school and college within the University provided for two or more of the programs mentioned above. The College of Business Administration led in co-sponsoring 49 of the 161 courses that lasted two days or longer. The College of Agriculture co-sponsored 35 conferences and the College of Education was solely or partially in charge of 24 programs. The School of Law and the Institute of Law and Government co-sponsored ten conferences. One of the largest meetings was that sponsored by the School of Journalism. This was the 31st Annual Meeting of the Georgia Press Institute.
In addition to the meetings of more than one day's duration to which reference has been made, there were 178 programs that lasted for one day or less. These short conferences were attended by 5,281 persons. In addition to the conferences, the Center, through its Extension Division, offered 54 non-credit courses in which 762 persons enrolled. These courses dealt with such matters as real estate appraisals, film discussions, home gardening, and music appreciation.
The Continuing Education Center seems destined to become an increasingly important force working for the improvement of many phases of the life of the State.
OTHER AGENCIES OF PUBLIC SERVICE WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY. The University Press continued its policy of publishing books of scholarly interest-books which do not necessarily appeal to a great number of readers, but which, nevertheless, make valuable contributions to knowledge and culture. During the year the University Press published five books that were written by faculty members of the University and four

42

books that were written by persons outside the University. Five reprints of books previously publislled w~re issued...
The University continued the publication of The Georgia Review which is issued quarterly. There are now more than 2,000 subscribers to The Georgia Review. These subscribers live in 38 states and six foreign countries.
During 1958-59 the Georgia Museum celebrated the tenth anniversary of its establishment. During the year there were twenty-six special exhibits of works of art and it is estimated that more than 13,000 people visited the galleries. Paintings from the University's permanent collection were loaned to the National Gallery in Washington, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Academy of Design in New York, and to other museums in various parts of the country.
AGRICULTURAL ExTENSION SERVICE. The Agricultural Extension Service is continuing to play an increasingly important role in the lives of the rural people of Georgia. The scope of its program is constantly being enlarged and the quality of its services is being improved from year to year.
Financial support for the Agricultural Extension Service, like that for the Agricultural Experiment Stations, has increased rapidly during recent years. In 1948-49 State funds made available through the Board of Regents for the operations of the Agricultural Extension Service amounted to $481,000.00. In 1953-54, five years later, the amount of State support had risen to $738,267.00. During 1958-59, after the passing of another five years, this figure had risen to $1 ,365,000.00.
The Agricultural Extension Service is not dependent on State funds alone for its operations. It receives substantial sums of money from the federal government, from the counties of the State, and from other sources. With funds received from these various sources, the Agricultural Extension Service was able to expend during 1958-59 for operating expenses the sum of $4,846,566.03.
The increases in the salaries for the personnel of the Agricultural Extension Service have brought about a marked improvement in the morale of the workers in this organization. The Service is now able to retain the services of more of its capable staff members and it is able to bring in some very competent people. The Service is also trying to improve the qualifications of its present workers by encouraging them to take more advanced graduate work. During 1958-59 nineteen members of the staff of the Extension Service were taking work at the graduate level.
The workers in the Agricultural Extension Service undertake to
43

disseminate through publications and by personal contacts information that will be helpful to citizens living in ruraLareas.
The Extension Service itself issues many publications in the form of books, bulletins, circulars, and articles. During 1958-59 thirty-seven publications of this type were given wide distribution throughout the State. The Service also utilizes the columns of magazines for getting information to the people. Last year magazines going into farm homes of Georgia published 122 articles that were furnished by members of the staff of the Extension Service. During the year County Extension Agents also prepared 20,194 news articles, made more than 8,500 radio presentations and 850 television appearances.
Workers in the Extension Service reach thousands of Georgia citizens each year through personal contacts. Extension Service "students" are the people of the State of Georgia. A recognized need for assistance is all that is required to make it possible for a person to receive benefits from the Extension Service's well-planned program of outof-school educational assistance.
During 1958-59 the Agricultural Extension Service assisted 250,890 different families in making changes in farm and home practices. Of these, 194,540 families were assisted by County Agricultural Agents in making agricultural changes and 144,670 families were aided by Home Demonstration Agents in improving home making practices.
Nearly 14,000 result demonstrations were conducted by Extension Service agents during the year. Agents also held 3,411 training meetings for adults with an attendance of 48,261 people. County Extension Agents also conducted or took part in 28,464 other meetings for adults with an attenance of 1,117,744. All of these meetings were educational in their nature and the latest information produced by research was presented to those present.
In addition to the persons reached through meetings and demonstrations, County and Home Demonstration Agents made "studentteacher" contacts through 250,092 farm and home visits, 340, 108 office calls, and 481,638 telephone calls.
One phase of the work of the Agricultural Extension Service of which Georgians have reason to be very proud is the 4-H Club Program. There were 2,555 4-H Clubs in Georgia last year with a membership of 144,657 boys and girls. This is the largest membership that the 4-H Clubs in Georgia have ever had. During the past year Agricultural Extension Service workers conducted 3,740 training meetings for 4-H Club members with an attendance of 70,401. Extension workers and local citizens conducted 27,069 other 4-H Club meetings
44

with 1,447,586 boys and girls in attendance. Last year, Georgia 4-H Club members completed 349,078 project~ with an estimated value of approximately $15,000,000.00.
Thirty-five Georgia winners of 4-H Club Awards attended the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. They returned with one sectional honor and seven national honors.
A facility that gives great distinction to the 4-H Club Program in Georgia is the 4-H Club Camp at Rock Eagle Park. No other State has comparable facilities for its 4-H Club members. During the past year the facilities of the Rock Eagle 4-H Club Center were used by 6,300 4-H Club members. In addition to the use of the Center made by 4-H Club members, 37,754 other persons attended educational meetings at Rock Eagle last year. Among those attending these meetings were citizens from every county in Georgia, from 45 other states, and from 43 foreign countries.
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The Engineering Extension Division of the Georgia Institute of Technology conducts short courses and conferences on the campus of Georgia Tech and certain types of off-campus classes are conducted throughout the State.
During 1958-59, 12 short courses and 11 conferences were conducted on the campus. The total attendance was 2,398, which represents a marked increase over the number of persons attending such meetings during the preceding year. The officials of Georgia Tech attribute the increase to a steadily growing awareness of the help that Georgia Tech can extend to Georgia industry and government.
For some time the Extension Division has been planning to offer short courses in various parts of the State as well as on the campus. It seems likely now that these plans can be carried into effect during 1959-60.
Some of the pioneering efforts of the Extension Division began to bring results during 1958-59. For instance, the Workshop in Joint Planning Problems brought representatives of Georgia cities and counties together for the first time. The officials of Georgia Tech now believe that the institution can become the urban planning center for the entire South. The short course on Management for Engineers was also highly successful. There is a need in this field that will probably require an expansion in short course programs.
The Extension Division has continued its efforts to expand and improve the program in which the Georgia Fire Institute is so vitally
45

interested. New policies and procedures have been formulated, a fire training truck and the neededequipment'" have been secured, schedules have been prepared for the use of this truck throughout the State, training films and projection equipment have been purchased and are now being distributed. During the past year 54 fire service instructors conducted firefighting training programs for 2,604 public service employees of 248 fire departments in the State.
The training program for textile employees that is conducted by the Extension Division in cooperation with a committee of the Textile Education Foundation was continued. During the year 119 classes were conducted in 31 textile plants for 1,725 employees. Diplomas were awarded to 35 employees who completed the three-year training program.
OTHER INSTITUTIONS
The other institutions of the University System do not have the staffs and facilities for rendering comprehensive programs of service to adults and to off-campus groups. Nevertheless, the faculties of most of the institutions are providing for the people in their respective communities significant programs of public service in certain areas.
The Georgia State College of Business Administration offered seven non-credit courses in such fields as "Real Estate Principles and Practic," "Introduction to Creative Writing," "Dynamics of Human Behavior," "Effective Study Skills," and "Reading Improvement." During the year the College also conducted conferences and workshops for Certified Public Accountants, the Scholastic Press Association, the Retail Credit Association, the Press Association Advertising Clinic, and the Georgia Executives Management Seminar.
At the Medical College the Department of Continuing Education was organized during the year, with Dr. Claude Starr-Wright as Director. Three short intensive refresher courses for physicians were conducted. The enrollment in each course was limited to twenty physicians. The response to these courses was enthusiastic.
The West Georgia College went forward with its programs of adult education for people in the Carrollton area. During the year a book written by the late Dr. Mildred English was published. This book describes the College's program of education for adult citizens and places special emphasis on the "College in the Country" program. Under the guidance of College personnel and with the cooperation of local leaders, the people themselves have developed a stimulating and vital process for continuing the education of adults. In the College in
46

the Country and in the College in the Town programs there were enrolled 320 adult citizens. The College also conducted "Studycades" for 94 persons. One of these Studycades took its participants to Nova Scotia and another took its participants to Europe.
The Georgia State College for Women provided the facilities and leadership for seventeen meetings and conferences that were attended by more than 2,200 people. The members of the faculty also made 198 speeches during the year to various off-campus groups.
In the Fall of 1958 the Valdosta State College conducted a workshop for P.T.A. groups in South Georgia. The Educational Clinic, under the direction of Mrs. A. K. Hutchinson, has been called upon to counsel and guide a number of young people in the South Georgia area who are not now students in the College.
At the Augusta College Mrs. Geraldine W. Hargrove worked with the Richmond County Board of Education in conducting a county-wide remedial reading program. Mr. Keith Cowling played a major role in community art and dramatics projects.
At the Columbus College Mr. Alvin L. McLendon served as Chief, Radiological Defense Services, for the Columbus and Muscogee County Civil Defense program, taking part in instructional and alert programs. President Whitley conducted a vocational guidance clinic at the Columbus High SchooL
At the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, the short courses for farm men, farm women, and farm youth continue to attract wide attention. To the people attending these short courses the College offers the latest and best information available in many fields of agriculture and home making. During 1958-59 the College conducted thirty-six short courses for a total of 4,952 people from 104 counties in Georgia, twelve other states, and four foreign countries. The number of persons in attendance at short courses in 1958-59 was 729 more than in the preceding year.
The Department of Foreign Languages of the Albany State College organized special classes in French and Spanish for adult citizens of the Albany area who wanted instruction in these languages. The Department also established a Foreign Language Institute for language teachers in the southern part of the State. The Department of Music responded to many calls for concerts and other types of musical programs in the Albany community.
Faculty members of the Fort Valley State College conducted many clinics, conferences, short courses, and workshops. They made radio broadcasts, served as judges in various types of contests, and served
47

as consultants to various groups interested in agriculture and education. During 1958-59 the Savannah State allege served as a center for
many groups of people engaged in educational work and other related activities. Various conferences, short courses, institutes, and festivals were held on the campus. All of these meetings had sound educational objectives. Fifteen meetings of this type brought to the campus more than 11 ,000 people. As a result of the efforts of President Payne and Director Wilton Scott of the Department of Public Relations, the newspapers, radio stations, and television stations in Savannah have cooperated with the College in presenting to the citizens many articles and programs that have genuine educational value for the community.
FINANCES
There is set forth in this report a brief statement regarding the financial operations of the University System and its institutions during the 1958-59 fiscal year. The Treasurer of the Board of Regents issues each year a comprehensive and detailed report on these operations. A copy of the Treasurer's Report for 1958-59 will be made available to any one who requests it.
INCOME OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
The University System received from the State for operating expenses during 1958-59 the sum of $25,492,500.00. Mention should be made of the fact that only $20,100,000.00 was received under Appropriation Acts of the General Assembly and of this $20,100,000.00, $3,000,000.00 was earmarked for the operation of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital which provides clinical facilities for the Medical College. There was no new Appropriation Act in 1958. The Governor made a special allocation of $5,392,500.00 for operating expenses of the System during 1958-59. Of the amount allocated by the Governor, $392,500.00 was earmarked for the three junior colleges that became units of the System during 1958-59. The increase in the allotment for the operation of the other institutions was $3,000,000.00 over and above the 1957-58 allotment.
During 1958-59 the Governor also made special allocations to the University System for three building projects. These projects were a new plant in Cobb County for the Southern Technical Institute, an Administration-Auditorium Building at the Southeast Georgia Branch Experiment Station, and an Art-Industrial Arts Building at the Georgia Teachers College at Statesboro. The amount allocated for these three
48

projects was $2,515 ,000.00. Total receipts from the State amounted to $28,007,500.00.
The following table shows the total amount of State funds received by the University System during the 1958-59 fiscal year and the purposes for which special allocations were made.

The total amount expended for educational and general purposes during 1958-59 was $3,370,575.98 in excess of the amount expended during 1957-58. The largest single item of increase was $1,571,775.85 for Instruction. The addition of new faculty personnel and some increases in salaries were responsible for the rise in instructional costs. Expansion of the programs of the Agricultural Experiment Stations and of the Engineering Experiment Station raised the cost of organized research from $6,160,879.90 in 1957-58 to $7,203,143.43 in 1958-59. There was an increase of $290, 195. 39 in expenditures by the Agricultural Extension Service. In 1958-59 expenditures for Student Welfare and for General Extension were less than during the preceding year.
The following figures show the percentage of the total expenditures that was used for each of the several phases of the educational and general programs during 1957-58 and 1958-59. The only items that vary as much as 1% are Instruction and Research. Both of these items show increases.

STATE ALLOCATIONS PER STUDENT TO UNIVERSITY SYSTEM INSTITUTIONS'"'
The next table shows in the first column the allocation to each mstitution for educational and general purposes. The second column shows the average number of full-time students or their equivalent registered in each institution of the System during the regular nine months' session of 1958-59. The third column shows the State allocation per student on the basis of the number of students in the regular session.
In order that a more accurate comparison may be made of State funds available to the institutions on a per student basis, two additional columns of figures have been added. Most of the institutions conduct summer sessions and charge the costs of such sessions against the educational and general budgets. Some institutions conduct special classes on Saturdays and in the evening hours. In order to arrive at figures that will reflect the costs of the total instructional programs, we have taken the total number of quarter hours credit for residence work offered for students of all types in each institution and have divided this number by 50. The figure 50 represents the average number of quarter hours credit earned by a full-time student in the University System during three academic quarters. The numbers of 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.

It should be pointed out that the Armstrong College of Savannah did not become a unit of the University System until January 1, 1959 and that it operated as a unit of the System for only two quarters during the 1958-59 academic year. The allocation given for the Armstrong College was the allocation for two quarters only and the other computations are on the basis of the hours of credit earned by students during two quarters.
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. The Board strives to provide each institution with an allocation that will enable the institution to perform effectively the duties assigned to it.

INCOME OF INSTITUTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
The operating budgets of the institutions of the University System are made on the basis of funds received from the State and of income derived from fees and other sources. The statement set forth on pages 58 and 59 of this report indicates the various sources from which the

institutions derived income and the amount received from each source. The next table shows the p~rcentage q[ its income that each institu-
tion received from each of the several sources indicated. Because of increasing income from the State while the fee structure remains relatively stable, the percentage of total income derived from fees in most institutions continues to decline.

The table last set forth takes into consideration income received by some institutions from the federal government, gifts and grants for research and extension projects, and other projects of a non-instructional nature. Since the activities of some institutions are wholly instructional in nature and since these institutions received no funds for non-instructional purposes, the other table does not afford a basis for an altogether accurate comparison of the percentages of income received by institutions from fees and from 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. This table shows the percentage of institutional in-

come for instruction that is derived from the State and the percentage that is derived from student fees ..

The variations in percentages in the above tables are due to some extent to the differences in the sizes of the institutions. 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 physical plants, in types of internal organization, and in character of services provided are also partially responsible for the variations.

EXPENDITURES PER STUDENT IN TERMS OF DOLLARS
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 fulltime 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 and other educational services over a nine months' period. From these computations expenditures for operating practice schools, for providing clinical facilities for medical students, and other expenditures not common to most institutions have been excluded.

BUILDINGS IN THE PLANNING STAGE ON JUNE 30, 1959
As of the end of the 1958-59 fiscal year several new building projects were in the planning stage. Funds were available for the construction of all the proposed buildings with the exception of the dormitories. Arrangements had been made with the Housing and Home Finance Agency for loans for the erection of the dormitories.

BUILDING PROGRAM SINCE 1950
In order that those who are interested in the University System may have a better understanding of the scope of the University System's building program during the past nine years, perhaps it would be well to make brief reference to some facts that will show the extent of the efforts that have been made to provide adequate plant facilities for the institutions of the System.

The figures given above do not include the cost of buildings erected on the campuses of the institutions by other governmental agencies. Among these buildings is the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital that was erected by the State Hospital Building Authority at a cost of more than eleven million dollars and that is now used by the Medical College as a teaching hospital. A building erected by the State Highway Department on the Georgia Tech campus provides laboratory facilities for the Department of Civil Engineering. There is also on the Georgia Tech campus a Naval-Marine Reserve Training Building that was constructed by the federal government at a cost of about $1,000,000.00.
The needs of the institutions for new and expanded facilities have been partially met. Provision must be made for many more buildings in the reasonably near future if we wish to enable our institutions to take care of the additional thousands of students who will soon be seeking admission to college. The reports of the presidents list the new structures that will be needed on the various campuses.
LAND ACQUISITIONS
During the past year some of the institutions have acquired parcels of land near their campuses that will be needed as sites for new buildings.
The development of a new dormitory center on the west side of Lumpkin Street has made it necessary for the University of Georgia to buy several pieces of property in this area. During 1958-59 the University purchased eleven parcels of land at a total cost of $212,725.00.
The Georgia Institute of Technology also purchased eleven pieces of property at a total cost of $175,150.00. All of the properties purchased by Georgia Tech are in close proximity to its main campus with the exception of one tract of thirty acres that adjoins the new campus of the Southern Technical Institute in Cobb County.
69

Mention may be made of the fact that Georgia Tech sold the property located at 185 Fourth Street, N.W.- in the City of Atlanta to the Wesley Foundation.
During the last fiscal year the Georgia State College of Business Administration purchased properties known as 100-102-104 Decatur Street in the City of Atlanta for a consideration of $52,500.00.
The Medical College of Georgia conveyed to the City of Augusta the property on which the old classroom building is located and received in exchange a tract of 4.48 acres of land adjacent to the present campus of the Medical College.
The Junior College of Augusta conducted its operations in buildings located on the Old Arsenal property in the City of Augusta. When the Board of Regents assumed the responsibility for the operation of this institution, the Richmond County Board of Education conveyed to the Regents title to 43.01 acres of the Arsenal property that it had received from an agency of the federal government. The Board of Regents acquired directly from the federal government title to an additional 15.59 acres of this land. The Richmond County Board of Education has paid to the Regents the sum of $457,500.00 which will be used by the Regents for the purpose of remodeling some of the buildings so that they may be used for educational purposes.
As of January 1, 1959 the Armstrong College of Savannah became a unit of the University System. At the close of the 1958-59 fiscal year negotiations were under way for the transfer to the Regents of the title to the properties of the Armstrong College. The City of Savannah has also agreed to pay the Regents $495,400.00 so that certain improvements may be made on the properties of the College.
Mention should also be made of the fact that the Muscogee County Board of Education plans to convey to the Regents in the near future a tract of land on which will be developed a plant for the Columbus College. The Muscogee County Board will also provide a considerable amount of money for the erection of buildings for the College.
REPAIRS AND REHABILITATION
As has been pointed out in previous Reports, the Board of Regents has been greatly concerned over the fact that buildings on many of the campuses were in a bad state of repair. Conditions in some of the buildings have created major fire hazards.
For several years the Board has been striving to improve this situation. It has striven to provide the institutions with funds sufficient to maintain the buildings more adequately. It has also made special
70

allocations for the rehabilitation and remodeling of antiquated structures and for the removal of fire.hazards. During 1958-59 the Board of Regents allotted to the institutions $976,535.00 for repairs and renovations of these older buildings. This allotment was in addition to increased allotments for better maintenance and care of the buildings. The total amount of allotments for repairs and rehabilitation over the past few years is in the neighborhood of $6,500,000.00.

GIFTS AND GRANTS
During 1958-59 the institutions of the University System received gifts and grants amounting to approximately $4,893,992.15. 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 1958-59 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 institutions of the System. We want to thank all persons, corporations, foundations, and agencies that have contributed to the support of Georgia's institutions of higher learning.
The following figures indicate the amount of contributions made to each of the several institutions during the past year.

NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM The Annual Reports of the presidents of the institutions of the University System list in detail the purposes for which increased allocations of State funds are needed. Some of the major purposes for which additional allocations are requested are as follows: ( 1) Increases in the salaries of faculty members so that the aver-
age salaries will be on a level comparable with those in leading universities and colleges of the South. (2) Funds for the employment of additional faculty members to take care of the increasing student enrollments. ( 3) Funds for the inauguration of some new programs in the fields of instruction, research, and public services. (4) Increased allocations for library books and for equipment and supplies for teaching and research. ( 5) Additional money for the maintenance and operation of the many new buildings on institutional campuses. (6) Special allocations for the rehabilitation and repair of many of the older buildings. ( 7) Provision for the construction of additional new buildings that are now needed by many institutions and for the many other new buildings that will be needed as student enrollments continue to climb. The Board of Regents has made many studies of institutional needs and so have Committees of the General Assembly. The views of the Board of Regents and of the Committees of the General Assembly are in substantial agreement. When the income of the State is such as to make it possible for the Governor and the General Assembly to give the University System substantial increases in appropriations, we believe that the increases will be made so that the University System and its institutions will be able to provide better and more comprehensive educational services for the people of Georgia.

CONCLUSI..O. N
Those who wish to know more about the programs and actiVIties of the institutions should read the Annual Reports submitted by the presidents. Some of these Reports are available in printed form and all are on file in the libraries of the institutions and in the Office of the Board of Regents. It is impossible within the limits of such a report as this to comment at length on the program and activities of each of the nineteen institutions of the University System.
On behalf of the Board of Regents and the personnel of the University System, I want to express appreciation to the Governor, State officials, and members of the General Assembly for their careful consideration of our many requests and for the support and cooperation that they have at all times tried to give us.
On behalf of the Regents, I want to thank the personnel of the System for their dedicated services to their respective institutions and to the citizens of Georgia. No group could have discharged its duties more faithfully and with greater loyalty and devotion.
And lastly, on behalf of the University System, its institutions, and all whom these institutions serve, I want to thank the members of the Board of Regents for the leadership that they have provided for all of us, for the careful study that they have given to every problem, and for the wise actions that they have taken on all issues presented for their consideration. The Regents have placed the interests of the University System ahead of their personal affairs and have given generously of their time, experience and wisdom to the cause of higher education in our State.
Respectfully submitted,
Harmon W. Caldwell
