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, 1960, and ending June 30, 1961.
Sincerely,
Robert 0. Arnold

REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTE~ OF GEORGIA 1960-61 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 dealing with some of the major phases of the work of the University System of Georgia and its institutions during the year that ended on June 30, 1961.
The reports of the presidents of the institutions touch upon many details that cannot be covered in a report of this character. Some of these reports have been published and copies of all of them are on file in the office of the Board of Regents. This report will deal principally with the work of the University System as a whole, but it will necessarily include summaries of certain portions of the institutional reports.
GENERAL STATEMENT
The 1960-61 year was, in many respects, among the best that the University System has experienced. Many facts tend to indicate that faculty members and students have done work of a superior quality. The professional qualifications of faculty members have continued to improve and this improvement is reflected in the character of their teaching and research work. The students as a whole appear to be young persons of greater potential abilities and their work is characterized by a seriousness of purpose. These improvements in the student bodies are attributable, at least in part, to more rigid admission procedures, to better counseling programs, and to more effective teaching.
There were expansions in the institutional programs of work-particularly at the graduate levels. The University of Georgia was authorized to offer work leading to the Ph.D. degree in three additional fields. The Georgia Institute of Technology was authorized to offer a new graduate program leading to the Ph.D. degree in Aeronautical Engineering and the Georgia State College of Business Administration was authorized to establish a program leading to the degree of Doctor of Business Administration.
STUDENT ENROLLMENT. During the regular academic session of nine months the cumulative student enrollment in institutions of the University System reached a new peak. The total enrollment in 1960-61 was 34,492. Enrollments in off-campus centers, Saturday and evening classes, and
2

other extension programs are not included in this figure. The enrollment in classes in residence during I 960-6 I was I ,639-or 4.9%-above the enrollment for I 959-60. It is probable ihat the upward trend in enrollment will continue for a number of years to come.
STATE APPROPRIAnoNs. During I960-6 I State appropriations for the operations of the University System and its institutions also reached a new peak. The total amount of State funds available for operations was $30,201,666.95. Of this amount, the sum of $3,500,000.00 was earmarked for the operation of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital that provides clinical facilities for the Medical College of Georgia.
State funds for operations during 1960-61 were $2,766,669.95 in excess of the amount available during I 959-60.
BuiLDING PROGRAM. The University System continued to make progress toward the goal of providing more adequate physical facilities for the institutions. During 1960-61 buildings costing $11 ,008,179.00 were completed on the campuses of eight institutions. On June 30, 1961 work was going forward on other building projects that will cost $14,166,435.00. Plans were being prepared for other buildings that will cost in excess of $20,000,000.00.
GIFTS AND GRANTS. Improved instructional and research programs are beginning to attract increased financial support from various agencies of the federal government and from foundations throughout the country. Both the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology received more money through grants than they have received in anv previous year. The Medical College and the Georgia State College of Business Administration also received sizeable grants from various sources.
The Georgia Institute of Technology received during the year a grant of $400,000.00 from the Ford Foundation for strengthening the institution's program of advanced graduate work in engineering. Additional funds will later become available under this grant.
The alumni of the various institutions have been very generous in their support. Many have contributed money for the purpose of enabling their schools to match funds advanced under the National Defense Education Act for student loans. Alumni of the larger institutions have provided funds with which to pay salary supplements to outstanding faculty members. It is worthy of note that at the 1961 National Conference of the American Alumni Council, the Georgia Institute of Technology won first place award for "Sustained Performance by Alumni of a Public Institution."

CHANGES IN PERSONNEL OF BOARD OF REGENTS, REGENTS' STAFF, AND INSTITUTIONAL HEADSHIPS
Because of resignations, retirements~ and deaths there were many changes in the personnel of the administrative staffs and faculties of the institutions of the University System. These changes are recorded in the annual reports of the presidents. In this Report we shall refer only to changes in the personnel of the Board of Regents, the Board's staff. and the presidencies.
REGENTS
On December 23, 1960 Mr. Quimby Melton wrote a letter to Governor S. Ernest Vandiver and tendered his resignation as a member of the Board of Regents from the State at Large. Mr. Melton was of the opinion that the laws of the State prohibited his serving as a member of the Board of Regents and as a member of the General Assembly at the same time. Mr. Melton's resignation was accepted and the Board, at its meeting on January 1I, 1961, elected as his successor Mr. James C. Owen, Jr. of Griffin. Under the action of the Board Mr. Owen was entitled to hold office until the end of the 1961 session of the General Assembly. On January 16, 1961 Governor Vandiver appointed Mr. Owen as a member of the Board of Regents from the State at Large for the period beginning with the adjournment of the 1961 session of the General Assembly and ending January 1, 1963.
Mr. Melton served as a member of the Board from February 14, 1956 until the effective date of his resignation on January 1, 1961. As a Regent Mr. Melton rendered outstanding service to the University System and to the cause of education in Georgia.
On January 1, 1961 the term of office of Mr. John I. Spooner as Regent from the Second Congressional District expired. On January 4, 1961 Governor Vandiver reappointed Mr. Spooner for another sevenyear term beginning January 1, 1961.
The term of office of Mr. David F. Rice as Regent from the Fifth Congressional District expired on January 1, 1961. Governor Vandiver appointed Mr. Jesse Draper of Atlanta as the successor to Mr. Rice. Mr. Draper's term of office runs until January 1, 1968.
Mr. Rice served loyally and faithfully as a member of the Board of Regents for a period of seven years. The University System and the State are grateful to him for the contributions he made. We are glad that, as a member of the State Board of Education, Mr. Rice will continue to work for the cause of education in Georgia.
4

Although he was not a member of the Board of Regents at the time of his death, reference should b~_ made to..the fact that Mr. Cason J. Callaway died on April I2, I961. Mr. Callaway was appointed to the Board of Regents at the time of its organization and served from 1anuary 1, I9 32 until March 7, 1941. He served again as a Regent from 1anuary I, I943 until his resignation from the Board on November I8, I953. Mr. Callaway served as chairman of various committees of the Board and served for a time as Chairman of the Board. He worked tirelessly for the cause of education in Georgia and gave generously of his time and resources for the promotion, development, and improvement of every project that he thought would contribute to the improvement of the State and the welfare of its citizens. The influence of his work will be felt for many years to come.
PRESIDENTS
The Annual Report for I959-60 stated that Dr. William H. Row became President of the West Georgia College on July I, I960. He succeeded Dr. I. S. Ingram who had reached the mandatory retirement age. On March I 0, I961, after a short illness, Dr. Row died. Dr. Row was doing an excellent job as head of the West Georgia College. Hundreds of Dr. Row's friends and members of his family were deeply grieved by his untimely passing.
The Board of Regents at its meeting on March 15, 1961 asked the former President, Dr. I. S. Ingram, to serve as President until a successor could be found. President Ingram very kindly agreed to do this.
At its meeting on May 10, 1961 the Board of Regents appointed Dr. James Emory Boyd as President of the West Georgia College. He assumed the duties of his new position on August 15, 1961. Dr. Boyd has served in the University System since 1928. From I928 to 1930 he was a member of the faculty of the University of Georgia. During the next two years he was head of the Division of Mathematics and Science at the West Georgia College. In 1935 he went to Georgia Tech where he served in various capacities until 1961. At the time of his appointment to the presidency of the West Georgia College, he was Director of the Engineering Experiment Station at Georgia Tech.
On June 30, 1961 President George P. Donaldson of the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College reached the mandatory retirement age. He served as Professor and Dean of the Abraham Baldwin College from 1933 to 1947. He was President of the College from 1947 to 196 I. Mr. Donaldson had a long and brilliant career at the College and he rendered services of untold value to the students of the College and to the people of Georgia.
5

At its meeting on May 10, 1961 the Board named Dr. J. Wilson Comer as the successor to Mr. Donaldson as President of the Abraham Baldwin College. Dr. Comer--became. a- member of the faculty of the Georgia State College for Women in 1940 and remained with that institution until 1959. He then went to the newly-established Columbus College and served as Dean for a period of two years. He assumed the duties of the presidency of Abraham Baldwin College on July 1, 1961.
STAFF OF REGENTS' OFFICE
In the Summer of 1959 Dr. Arthur M. Gignilliat joined the administrative staff of the Office of the Board of Regents . For more than two years he rendered outstanding service to the Board of Regents, the University System, and the institutions. He was particularly effective in his work with the various committees of the University System Advisory Council , the State Department of Education, and the State Department of Public Health. Dr. Gignilliat left the Regents' Office on September 1, 1961 and went to the Valdosta State College as Professor of English and Head of the Department of English. We are grateful to him for the services that he rendered as an administrator in the Office of the Board of Regents and we wish for him continued success and happiness in his new position.

FACULTIES OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
Eighteen institutions of the University. Sstem had a total of 1,561 faculty members during 1960-61. Figures on the Medical College are not included because faculty members at that institution devote a very large part of their time to clinical and research work and their teaching duties are relatively light. The figure given above does not include administrators, librarians, research workers, or teachers in practice schools.
The eighteen institutions had 49 more faculty members during 196061 than they had during the preceding year. This increase is small in view of the fact that the enrollment of full-time equivalent students in 1960-61 was 1,693 higher than it was during 1959-60.
The following table shows the numbers of faculty members of various ranks in the institutions of the University System during 1960-61 and it also sets forth the average salaries paid to faculty members in each of the several ranks. The salaries shown are for teaching duties on a nine months' basis. Additional compensation was paid to those who taught during the summer quarter.

During the past year the Alumni Foundations of the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology continued to provide their respective institutions with funds for supplementing the salaries of certain outstanding faculty members. The Georgia State College of Business Administration also received gifts and grants for supplementation purposes. These supplements, which were relatively small as compared with total expenditures for salaries, were not taken into consideration in computing the salary averages set forth above.

COMMENTS ON WORK OF FACULTIES
The people of the State of Georgia tiave reason to be proud of the qualifications, the attainments, and the services rendered by the faculties of most of the institutions of their University System. The professional competence, the experience, and the sense of dedication that are possessed by most faculty members give assurance that their instructional and research work is characterized by a high degree of excellence.
All institutions are trying to fill new positions with persons of exceptional ability and promise. In practically all of the senior institutions the percentage of faculty members holding doctor's degrees is higher than ever before. In the major institutions considerably more than half of the faculty members are the holders of doctorates. All institutions are encouraging faculty members without the highest degrees in their respective field to continue their advanced graduate work. During the past year at least 270 faculty members took advanced graduate work during all or a part of the regular academic year or during the summer. Of these 270 faculty members, 181 were in senior institutions for white students, 42 were in the senior institutions for Negro students, and 47 were in the seven junior colleges for white students.
The University of Georgia, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Georgia State College have been able to attract and hold many teachers and scholars with national and international reputations because of the salary supplements that they have been able to provide from funds contributed by alumni and friends of the institutions. The competition for outstanding teachers is becoming increasingly keen. The ability of the institutions of the University System to continue to upgrade their faculties is dependent upon greatly increased State support for instructional and research programs. Present provision for salaries of faculty personnel is far below the averages that prevail in most of the states.
The members of the Board of Regents wish to join the presidents in commending the faculties on their superior work as teachers and scholars, for their deep and abiding interest in the students with whom they work, and for their participation in the programs of various agencies and organizations that have as their objective the raising of the standards of the cultural, the social, and the economic life of our State and region.

fACULTY SALARY SCHEDULE
At its meeting on May 10, 19-61 the Bo'ard of Regents adopted new faculty salary schedules for the institutions of the University System.

The number of degrees granted during 1960-61 was 4,707. This is five less than the number granted during the preceding year.
The number of graduate degrees granted by the University of Georgia in 1961 was 240 as compared with 270 in 1960. The graduate degrees granted by the Georgia Institute of Technology rose from 158 in 1960 to 174 in 1961. The number of master's degrees granted by four other institutions of the System authorized to offer graduate work increased from 20 in 1960 to 84 in 1961.
There was a slight decline in the number of certificates and diplomas granted for the completion of one-year and two-year programs of study. The decrease was from 911 in 1960 to 883 in 1961.

STUDENTS
STUDENT ENR'OO..MENTS
During the regular nine months' session of 1960-61 the cumulative resident enrollment of students in the nineteen institutions of the University System was 34,492. The comparable figure for 1959-60 was 32,853. The 1960-61 cumulative enrollment was approximately 4.9% above the enro!Jment figure for the preceding year.
The 1960-61 average enrollment was 28,100 as compared with an average enrollment of 26,241 during 1959-60. The full-time equivalent enrollment1 for 1960-61 was 25 ,129. The comparable figure for the preceding year was 23 ,436. Both the average enrollment and the fulltime equivalent enrollment figures for 1960-61 are slightly in excess of 7 % above the corresponding figures for 1959-60. The percentage increase in the average number of students and the percentage increase in full-time equivalent students are, in each instance, higher than the percentage increase in the cumulative enrollment. This is due to the fact that fewer students dropped out of school during the year and to the further fact that there were fewer part-time students.
The following table shows the cumulative, the average, and the fulltime equivalent enrollment figures for each of the institutions of the University System during 1960-61. The figures include only students registered for work in residence during the regular session; they do not include summer school enrollments, enrollments in extension programs, or enrollments in Saturday and evening classes.
1 On the basis of 50 quarter hours of work per equivalent fulltime student.

It will be noted that the number of first-year students in 1960-61 was 853 in excess of the number of first-year students in 1959-60. This is an increase of more than 7 % . It is anticipated that the numbers of students entering college will continue to increase from year to year. Enrollments of students at other levels were above the corresponding figures for the preceding year with the exception of students at the graduate level. There was a slight decline in the number of graduate students. This decline is due, at least in part, to the effects of the AgeLimit Law.

BREAKDOWN OF RESIDENT ENROLLMENT
The following table gives a- breakdowft of cumulative enrollments during the 1960-61 regular session as between men and women and also as between veterans and non-veterans. It is interesting to note that the increase in the number of women students as compared with the preceding year was 11.4% , while the increase in the number of men students was only slightly more than 2%. As is to be expected, the number of veteran students continues to decline rapidly.

The next table shows the student enrollments during the first and second sessions of the 1960 summer quarter. As the table indicates, no summer work was offered at the Middle Georgia College or at the South Georgia College. The table and the footnotes also show that some institutions do not divide the summer quarter into two sessions, but conduct one continuous session for the full quarter. The enrollments in these institutions are, therefore, the same throughout the quarter.
As the figures show, the enrollment during the 1960 summer quarter was slightly above the enrollment in the summer quarter of 1959.

ENROLLMENTS 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 that carry 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 are offered by Georgia Tech in its Evening School and in the Southern Technical Institute.
The Albany State College conducts an Off-Campus Center in Columbus for Negro students. The Savannah State College conducts for Negro students a program of correspondence work.
The figures in the next table show the cumulative enrollments during the four quarters of the 1960-61 academic year, the average number of individual students per quarter, and the number of equivalent full-time students who received instruction during the year.
The enrollments in the various extension programs varied very little from those of the preceding year.

The Extension Divisions of both the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology conduct many courses, institutes, and conferences that carry no credit toward a degree. A discussion of work of this nature will be found in the section of this report entitled PuBLIC

SERVICES.

SATURDAY CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS
During the past year several institutions offered Saturday and evening courses that carried credit toward a degree. Five institutions conducted special workshops for teachers. The University of Georgia and Emory University continued to cooperate in offering work for in-service teachers in the Atlanta area. There was a marked increase in the enrollment in the Atlanta program.

STUDENT WORK AND ACTIVITIES
AcADEMIC WoRK. All institutions, with only two exceptions, report an improvement in the quality of students accepted for admission and in the morale of the student bodies as a whole. In most institutions the work of the students is characterized by a greater seriousness of purpose. The new admission procedures are undoubtedly responsible to a considerable extent for the improvement that has taken place. All institutions require entering students to take the College Entrance Examination Board tests and some institutions require them to take other tests. All institutions require applicants to present themselves for personal interviews before they are accepted. Most institutions now accept applicants only if they show genuine promise of being able to do college work in an acceptable manner.
Because of the improvement in the caliber of the student bodies, faculty members feel that they have a right to expect better performance on the part of the students and a right to insist that students meet higher standards in their academic work. As a result of this new attitude on the part of the faculties, the numbers of students placed on probation or suspended for academic deficiencies have not decreased significantly. For instance, during 1960-61 the University of Georgia suspended 443 students for unsatisfactory academic work and the Georgia State College suspended 186. In the seven junior colleges 529 students were excluded for academic deficiencies and in the three colleges for Negro students 197 students were excluded. It is unfortunate that the academic careers of so many students have been interrupted, but perhaps, in the long run, a good purpose will be served.
CONDUCT. The conduct of the members of the student bodies of the institutions of the University System was, on the whole, highly satisfactory. The reports of the presidents show that student behavior varied from "good," to "mature and acceptable," to "exemplary." The number

23

of students suspended for disciplinary reasons was smaller than at any time during recent years.
FINANCIAL Am To STUDENTS. All institutions undertake to provide deserving students who need financial aid with part-time jobs, scholarships, or loans.
The National Defense Education Act makes money available to colleges for student loans. A college is required to put up an amount equal to one-ninth of the amount advanced by the federal government. Most of the institutions have received from this source considerable funds for student loans. The University of Georgia alone received $378,000.00 from the loan fund of the federal government. The University made loans to 922 students in an aggregate amount of almost $450,000.00. Various alumni and civic groups assisted colleges in raising funds to match grants of federal funds. A few institutions encountered serious difficulties in finding matching funds. As a result, they failed to receive the federal funds that they needed and their students suffered as a consequence.
The General Assembly of Georgia at its 1961 session appropriated $100,000.00 to the University System for student scholarships. This action was taken under a Constitutional Amendment that was approved by the voters of the State in 1958. The Board of Regents divided this money among the institutions on the basis of their enrollments of students who were residents of the State. There has been a tremendous interest on the part of students and prospective students in these scholarships from State funds. The institutions, in accordance with policies established by the Board of Regents, have awarded scholarships to many students who were in need of financial aid. Unfortunately, there was not enough money to take care of all deserving applicants. The experience of the University of Georgia was typical. The University received $27,000.00 for State scholarships. The University reports that a minimum of $150,000.00 could have been awarded to well-qualified applicants within six weeks following the announcement of the program.
In spite of the best efforts of the institutions to make financial provision for deserving students, many students were forced to withdraw for financial reasons. For instance, 25 students left the Middle Georgia College because they were unable to pay their college expenses. The Columbus College lost 50 students for the same reason. One hundred and sixty-eight students withdrew from the Albany State College because they could not meet their financial obligations. Many of these students had excellent academic records and were young men and women of great promise.
24

AcTIVITIES. All institutions provided broad and comprehensive programs of extracurricular activities for their students. These programs are designed to promote the cultural, social, religious, and physical development of the students. There are programs of intercollegiate and intramural sports. Students may participate in supervised programs in art, music, theatrical productions, public speaking, and student publications. All institutions recognize the importance that religion should have in the life of the individual and they cooperate with local churches in an effort to provide a wholesome religious influence for students.
STUDENT FEE INCREASES. At its meeting held on March 15, 1961 the Board of Regents approved student fee adjustments in all institutions of the University System. This step was taken reluctantly but it was necessary in order to provide the institutions with the income needed for proper operations.
At the University of Georgia the matriculation fee for resident students was increased from $52.00 to $70.00 per quarter. The additional tuition fee that must be paid by non-resident students was increased from $100.00 to $115.00 per quarter.
At the Georgia Institute of Technology the matriculation fee for resident students was increased from $60.00 to $80.00 per quarter and the additional tuition fee that must be paid by non-residents was increased from $128.00 to $130.00 per quarter.
At the Southern Technical Institute the matriculation fee for resident students was lowered from $81.50 to $80.00 per quarter and the additional fee required of non-residents was increased from $95.00 to $100.00 per quarter.
At the Georgia State College of Business Administration the matriculation fee for resident students was raised from $48.00 to a straight charge of $5.00 per quarter hour. The tuition fee for non-resident students was raised from $100.00 per quarter to a straight charge of $8.00 per quarter hour.
At the Medical College the matriculation fee for residents was left at $200.00 per quarter. The tuition fee for non-residents was raised from $100.00 to $200.00 per quarter.
In the School of Nursing the matriculation fee was raised from $60.00 to $75.00 per quarter and the non-resident tuition fee was left at $100.00 per quarter.
In all other four-year institutions of the System the matriculation fee for resident students was raised from $45.00 to $60.00 per quarter and the additional fee for non-resident students was left at $100.00 per quarter.
25

26

In the junior colleges the matriculation fee for resident students was increased from $30.00 to $45.0(lper quar~r and the additional fee for non-residents was raised from $50.00 to $60.00 per quarter.
INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM
NEw DEGREEs AND CuRRICULA
Within the framework of curricula approved by the Board of Regents the faculties of the institutions have authority to add, discontinue, or modify courses of study so that the objectives of the respective curricula may be most effectively attained.
Any new degree program or any new curriculum can be established only with the approval of the Board. During the past year several institutions have requested authorization to offer new programs of work. Brief comments will be made on some of the proposed new programs on which the Board took favorable action.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
In July 1960 the University of Georgia was authorized to establish a program of graduate work leading to the Ph.D. degree in Agronomy. In the same month the University was authorized to inaugurate a program of work leading to the Ph.D. degree in Poultry.
At its meeting in May 1961 the Board of Regents authorized the University to split its Department of Geography and Geology into a Department of Geography and a Department of Geology. At the same time permission was given for the establishment of a Ph.D. degree program in Geography. The University now offers work leading to a doctorate in each of 14 fields.
The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of the University reports that the College's most important curricular development in many years was the inauguration in September 1960 of a Honors Program for superior students. One hundred and sixty-six students were admitted to the program for the first year. Students in Honors Courses may, to a considerable extent, follow their own interests and do much independent work. This program, which is under the direction of Dr. C. Jay Smith, is described by officials of the University as "extremely successful." Student response has been excellent.
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The Board of Regents in February 1961 authorized the Georgia Institute of Technology to conduct a program of instruction and research leading to the Ph.D. degree in Aeronautical Engineering.
27

The Board at its February 1961 meeting also authorized the Georgia Institute of Technology to offer work l~ding to the degree of Master of Science in Metallurgy.
During the past year some changes were made in the curricula of the School of Industrial Management. The Dean of Faculties reports that substantial curricular revisions are needed in a number of fields. He says further, however, that the nature of these revisions will depend, to a considerable extent, on the objectives of the institution. A thorough study of institutional objectives is now under way and major revisions in the various curricula will be postponed until this study is completed.
GEORGIA STATE CoLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
The Georgia State College of Business Administration was authorized in 1une 1961 to offer an advanced graduate program leading to the degree of Doctor of Business Administration. At the same time the College was given permission to offer work leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. The latter program will be conducted in cooperation with hospitals having the required clinical facilities.
The College was also authorized during the year to offer programs of work leading to the B.S. degree in Geography and Geology.
During 1960-61 the faculty of the School of Business Administration within the College made a careful study of the courses within its various curricula. As a result of this study, 25 courses were discontinued and 17 new courses were added.
MEDICAL CoLLEGE oF GEORGIA
During the past year, under the leadership of the Dean, the faculty of the Medical College continued its critical examination of the curriculum. It is expected that these faculty studies will develop longrange plans for curriculum improvement. Faculty members in several departments went forward with their studies of improved teaching methods.
The President of the Medical College reports that the faculty of the School of Nursing has continued to demonstrate a high degree of proficiency and achievement. During the past year three studies of nursing personnel and nursing education were initiated by the faculty.
The Board of Regents at its 1une 1961 meeting authorized the Medical College to offer a program of work leading to the degree of Master of Science in Endocrinology.
28

GEORGIA SOUTHERN COLLEGE
The rapidly growing enrollmeRt has madt!- it advisable for the Georgia Southern College to broaden the scope of its curricular offerings. In December 1960 the College received authorization to establish new programs of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemistry and to the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in Secretarial Science.
Later in the academic year the College was given permission to set up six-year programs for the training of elementary school teachers and for the training of teachers in the field of Industrial Arts.
VALDOSTA STATE COLLEGE
In July 1960 the Valdosta State College was authorized to inaugurate a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Chemistry. This program is more professional in nature than the program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemistry.
JUNIOR COLLEGES
At its meeting in May 1961 the Board of Regents authorized the junior colleges of the University System to confer on the graduates of their two-year programs the degree of Associate in Arts or the degree of Associate in Science.
GENERAL STATEMENT
In practically all of the institutions of the University System studies were being made of needed curricular expansions. One of these studies led the Board of Regents to authorize during the summer of 1961 the setting up of a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the Albany State College.
Faculty members in all institutions were diligently conducting studies of the courses and course content in the curricula offered by their respective institutions. Every effort possible is being made to keep the instructional programs of the University System abreast of new developments and of the vast expansions in knowledge that are continually taking place. The institutions are striving to meet all reasonable demands and requests of citizens of the State for new programs of work and for improvements in existing programs.
29

PROGRAM OF TESTING AND GUIDANCE
During the past year the Office of the- Board of Regents and the institutions of the University System have continued their efforts to develop strong and effective programs of testing and guidance. All applicants for admission to University System institutions must take tests that are designed to reveal the capacity of the applicants for doing college work. At various times during their college careers students are given tests for the purpose of determining their levels of achievement. All institutions are making efforts to provide for their students comprehensive programs of counseling and guidance. The counseling services have become very popular with students in a number of the institutions.
The University System Office of Testing and Guidance is under the direction of Dr. John R. Hills. Dr. Hills has submitted the following report on the activities of his office during the past year:
"After five years of operation, certain functions of the Office of Testing and Guidance have become more or less routine. Those routine activities were conducted in the usual manner during this year. They include the scoring and reporting of approximately 17,000 individual test scores, the study and reporting of research on admissions for seven of the University System colleges and for twenty private colleges in the State, the visiting of each unit in the System at least once-many of them several times, and the appearance of staff members before a variety of groups of people interested in or involved in testing and guidance activities.
"Superimposed upon this background of 'routine' activities have been some new activities and new directions of development. The most outstanding new direction is the increased emphasis in the area of counseling with the addition of Mr. Harry S. Downs as Associate Director of Testing and Guidance. A new series of reports called Service Bulletins has been initiated, the first being on the handling of occupational information in a college guidance office. Two conferences were held for the University System. They were primarily oriented toward helping counseling personnel with their problems of organization and operation. Members of the office staff have served as consultants specifically to two colleges which are making their first major efforts to establish counseling and guidance programs.
"At the same time that there has been this activity in the counseling area, there has also been a broadening of our earlier activity in research toward the improvement of counseling. This broadening materialized in the form of a Supplement to the Counselor's Guide to Georgia Colleges, a publication which was issued during the previous fiscal year. The Supple-
30

ment provides additional data so that statistical predictions of potential success in college can now be made for all public and private Georgia colleges, with the exception of Andrew College, and for many of the different programs in institutions such as the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology. The quality and the originality of the development of the Counselor's Guide and its Supplement were recognized in favorable comments appearing in two new college textbooks in the field of counseling and guidance during the year. During this fiscal year plans were laid for the development of still another counseling aid which will appear in the form of a guide to financial aid in University System colleges. The data collection for this will take place during the coming fiscal year.
"A third new development in the program of the Office of Testing and Guidance was consideration of research on other than the immediate problems of admitting students. Considerable effort with several colleges went into the planning of research concerning the influence of remedial-reading training on test performance and college grades. Additional effort with another college went into the planning of research to evaluate the influence on course grades of a counseling program which functions in connection with remedial training. A third area of investigation concerned the attitude of male students toward entry into the teaching profession. This study was conducted at the request of the Board of Regents. Results were reported to the Board of Regents during this fiscal year; the report will be prepared for formal publication during the coming year.
"During the year the State Department of Education discontinued offering its scoring service to the secondary and elementary school systems of Georgia. Since we have made use of the State Department of Education's scoring facilities in return for certain services of this office, their discontinuance will no longer permit the offering of a scoring service from the Office of Testing and Guidance for the University System colleges. The University System units may obtain test scoring services through the University of Georgia. Our cooperation with the State Department of Education moved into a new area this year in that for the Pupil Transportation Section of the Division of Administration and Finance we were able to analyze data concerning the relationship between population density and the cost of school bus transportation per pupil per year. It appears that this sort of analysis may lead to a much more refined method of reimbursement for transportation costs in the future."
31

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NEGRO STUDENTS
The Board of Regents continued to nTake available scholarships for Negro students for the purpose of enabling them to secure in 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 the past year 1,501 individual students received 2,017 scholarship aid grants for graduate and professional study at 79 institutions. All of the institutions attended by the recipients of scholarships were, with the exception of Atlanta University, located in other states. The holders of scholarships took work in some one of 39 major fields. The area in which most of the students did their major work was Education. In this field there were 1,084 students studying in 17 different areas of concentration.
The total cost of the scholarship program during 1960-61 was $267,003.88. This was $16,187.15 less than the cost during the preceding year. The reduction in cost was due primarily to the fact that during 1960-61 the number of scholarship recipients was 79 Jess than it was during 1959-60 and to the further fact that the number of grants made in 1960-61 was 162 less than the number made in the preceding year.
In 1957 the Fort Valley State College established a graduate program in Elementary Education and in 1960 it established a graduate program in Counseling and Guidance. Negro students are no longer eligible to receive scholarships for work toward master's degrees in these fields at institutions outside the University System. This fact is probably responsible for the decline in the number of scholarship recipients.

REGIONAL EDUCATION BOARD

The Board of Regents continued its contractual relationships with the Southern Regional Education Board during the past year. The Board of Regents paid to the Regional Board a total amount of $72,000.00 for the following purposes:

For operation of Regional Board . ___________________ $10,000.00

For Research Program in Mental Health

8,000.00

For 20 students at Meharry Medical College _

45,000.00

For 6 students in Veterinary Medicine

at Tuskegee Institute __________ _

9,000.00

Total 32

$72,000.00

Each state that is a party to the regional compact is now supposed to pay $20,000.00 annually fo_r:. the SU.Pll,Ort of the operations of the Southern Regional Education Board. Georgia's payment during the past year was only $10,000.00 because of the fact that the Regional Board occupies a building that was constructed by the Board of Regents for its use. In lieu of paying rent, the Regional Board agreed to reduce its charges to the State of Georgia in the amount of $1 0,000.00 per year for a period of 25 years, beginning July 1, 1959.
Under a contract with the Regional Education Board, the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Georgia accepts students from the States of South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. During the past year the University received under the contract with the Regional Board the sum of $176,250.00 for providing instructional services for 122 students from these four states.

RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS
The reports of the institutions for the p-ast year indicate that research work continued to grow in volume and to improve in quality. Some research projects were under way in practically every institution. The major programs of organized research were conducted in the larger institutions having graduate and professional schools.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The University's program of general research is conducted under the supervision of a Director of General Research who is also an Associate Dean of the Graduate School. The University's program of agricultural research is carried on in Agricultural Experiment Stations in various parts of the State. Each station has a Director and these station Directors report to the Director of Agricultural Research whose office is at the College of Agriculture in Athens.
GENERAL RESEARCH
Members of the faculty of every department and division of the University were engaged in some type of research work. Their research activities are beginning to attract national attention. More and more faculty members are receiving postdoctoral appointments and grants for various research projects. They are also receiving appointments to committees and panels of various scientific organizations.
Research grants in the amount of $1,200,000.00 were actually budgeted during 1960-61 as compared with $750,000.00 during the preceding year. General research expenditures during 1960-61 set an all-time high figure of $1,237,850.75.
During the past year members of the faculty and research staff published 153 books, monographs, journal articles, and notes. At the end of the year 95 additional papers were in press. In addition to the publications, faculty members prepared and presented Ill papers before national and regional professional organizations during the year.
There was a considerable expansion of the staff and facilities of the Marine Institute on Sapelo Island during 1960-61. Collections of specimens have been increased and they have been catalogued by a member of the staff of the Woods' Hole Oceanographic Institute who is employed for several months each year. The Sapelo Island Foundation now provides air service between Sapelo Island and Athens. This has produced a better coordination of research activities in the two places.
34

BUREAUS AND INSTITUTES
To meet the gradually increas"ihg demimt1s for research in specialized areas, the University has set up through the years a number of bureaus and institutes. During the year the Bureau of Business Administration, the Bureau of Educational Studies and Field Services, the Institute of Law and Government, and the Institute of Statistics provided services of inestimable value to various professional groups and to the citizens of Georgia.
During the year the Board of Regents approved the establishment, effective July 1, 1961, of an Institute of Community and Area Development. Through this Institute all the resources of the University will be made available to communities and areas of the State that need assistance with land utilization problems, with industrial and commercial development programs, and with programs that tend to raise the level of the economic, social, and cultural life of the people of the State. The new Institute will perform both research and service functions and it will work in close cooperation with the Industrial Development Branch of the Engineering Experiment Station at Georgia Tech.
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
The agricultural research of the University is carried on through three main experiment stations, five branch stations, and several field stations. The work of the various stations is coordinated through the office of the Director of Agricultural Research at the College of Agriculture. The Dean of the College of Agriculture has as one of his functions the coordination of agricultural research with the instructional program of the College and the public service program of the Agricultural Extension Service.
The Agricultural Experiment Stations employ approximately 200 men and women of professional rank. About one-half of these professional staff members hold the highest degrees obtainable in their respective fields.
During the past year foundations and commercial concerns provided more than $500,000.00 and approximately $35,000.00 worth of chemicals and equipment for the support of various projects at the Agricultural Experiment Stations. The Stations were also working on special projects for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Forest Service under contractual arrangements that will bring to the Stations approximately $1,500,000.00.
During 1960-61 the Agricultural Experiment Stations were engaged in work on nearly 500 projects. These projects covered every phase of
35

the farming and livestock achvihes of the State and dealt with many of the processing, industrial, and economic activities of Georgia. The Annual Reports of the Experiment Stations describe in detail the nature and scope of the research activities that they conduct.
The research activities of the Agricultural Experiment Stations resulted in approximately 250 publications during the year. These publications, which received wide distribution, consisted largely of abstracts, journal articles, and professional bulletins. Thousands of citizens visited the Stations and received advice and assistance on special problems about which they were concerned. The members of the staffs of the Stations assisted in conducting many demonstrations throughout the State and they made hundreds of talks before civic, professional, and farm groups.
During 1960-61 the Agricultural Experiment Station had a total income of $4,248,557 .45. Of this amount $1,898,000.00 was received as an allotment of State funds from the Board of Regents. The remainder of the income was received from the federal government, from gifts and grants, and from sales and services. The total expenditures for agricultural research during the year amounted to $4,199,414.78.
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
As was stated in the Annual Report for last year, the Georgia Institute of Technology during 1959-60 set up in its budget for the first time funds for academic research. The academic research funds are used to support the basic research work of faculty members in the instructional departments.
There was some increase in the funds for academic research during 1960-61. The increased State funds assisted faculty members in securing additional grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and four other agencies. Total expenditures from general funds during the year on research projects administered by the instructional departments were in the neighborhood of $125,000.00. Grants of restricted funds in the amount of approximately $155,000.00 were also available for academic research. Some progress was made toward bringing about a closer coordination of the research conducted in the Engineering Experiment Station with the academic research program conducted in the instructional departments.
The volume of work of the Engineering Experiment Station of Georgia Tech was higher during 1960-61 than during any previous year of its history. The Station's accrued income for research operations was $4,066,000.00-or nearly $300,000.00 in excess of its income for the
36

preceding year. Of its total income, $660,000.00 was received as an allocation of State funds from the Board of Regents. The balance of the income of the Station was received largely from industry and under research contracts for agencies of the federal government. Some support came from county and municipal agencies, foundations, other universities, and various departments of Georgia Tech.
During 1960-61 the Engineering Experiment Station, through its various divisions, conducted research work on a total of 372 projects. Of this number, 108 projects were financed by industrial concerns, 148 through contracts or grants from agencies of the federal government, and 19 through contracts with the State or municipalities. There were 70 projects that were supported with funds from the Board of Regents, and 27 with funds from other sources.
During the past year staff members of the Station received five new patents. This brings to a total of 22 the number of patents now issued on developments growing out of Georgia Tech research.
The research and creative work of faculty members of Georgia Tech and of the faculty and staff of the Experiment Station during 1960-61 resulted in 245 publications of various types. There were 11 additional publications by members of the faculty of the Southern Technical Institute. A list of the publications will be found in the Annual Report of the President of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
At the end of the year construction work was going forward on the new Nuclear Research Center. The Center, which will cost approximately $4,500,000.00, is scheduled for completion during the latter part of 1962.
Through grants and gifts, it was possible for several divisions of the Experiment Station to secure much new research equipment. The Georgia Tech Research Institute provided services and financial support that were of exceedingly great value to the Station.
Dr. J. E. Boyd, who has rendered magnificent service to the Experiment Station for many years and who had served as Director of the Station since 1958, resigned from his position at the Experiment Station at the end of the year so that he might accept the presidency of the West Georgia College at Carrollton. Dr. Boyd left behind him a record of outstanding accomplishments.
GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
During the past year more than forty per cent of the faculty members of the Georgia State College of Business Administration were engaged in some form of research work. Some of the research projects were conducted on an organized basis through the Bureau of Business and

Economic Research. Other projects were carried on by individual faculty members.
In the School of Arts and Science 25 faculty members prepared a total of 54 manuscripts that were published during the year. These included books, articles, book reviews, and abstracts.
Forty of the 53 faculty members in the School of Business Administration did research work that led to publications during the year. The Bureau of Business and Economic Research published 29 articles, monographs, and research papers. More than 40 books, articles, and monographs were published through agencies outside the College. At the end of the year 18 books and 36 articles were being prepared for publication.
The College received a number of grants from outside sources for the support of research projects. Some of the College's own funds were budgeted for this purpose. Much research work was done by faculty members whose entire salaries were paid from the instructional budget. During the year the College expended from funds budgeted for research a total of $117,480.33.
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA
The great majority of the faculty members of the Medical College were engaged in some form of research at the basic applied or clinical levels. During the year there were 90 research projects under way. The faculty members of the Medical College published 72 books and articles. Faculty members also prepared innumerable papers for presentation before scientific, medical, and professional groups of various sorts.
The Medical College receives many research grants from agencies of the federal government, from foundations, and from commercial houses. President O'Rear reports that research grant support from noninstitutional sources was $853,689.00 during 1960-61. If funds from institutional sources are included, the total amount that became available for research would approximate $1 ,000,000.00. The total expenditures of the College for research during the past year amounted to $774,347.31.
RESEARCH WORK AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS
The West Georgia College reports that several members of the faculty were engaged in various types of research work. Three faculty members were doing research work for doctoral dissertations. During the year ten articles by faculty members were published.
At the North Georgia College Dr. T. Conn Bryan published two articles during the year. Two research projects were under way. One of these was in the field of general nuclear science. This project was
39

supported by a grant from the Atomic Energy Commission. The other project was in the field of biol0gy with swpport from the World Health Organization.
The Georgia State College for Women had eight faculty members who were engaged in some form of research with the aid of funds from the College or outside sources. Six faculty members were given some assistance by the Committee on F acuity Research. Dr. J. C. Bonner received a grant from the American Association of State and Local History for the completion of a study of Milledgeville as an ante-bellum capitol of a southern state. Dr. Joseph Vincent received a National Science Foundation Fellowship for research studies at the University of Florida. Faculty members published two books and nine articles.
The Georgia Southern College established a faculty research committee during the year and is making plans for the development of a research program within the College.
At the Valdosta State College there are several faculty members with doctorates who wish to do research work. The College hopes that in the near future it will be able to reduce the teaching loads of some of its faculty members so that they will be free to engage in research activities. During the past year one faculty member did research work in the field of radioisotopes at the University of Tennessee. These studies will lead to the publication of two papers. Another faculty member did research work at the University of Georgia in the field of ecology.
The Georgia Southwestern College had two faculty members holding courtesy appointments who were conducting basic research work in mental health for the Charles L. Mix Memorial Fund. Two other faculty members were doing research work for dissertations that they are preparing.
At the Augusta College there was one faculty member engaged on a research project under the sponsorship of the Medical College. Two faculty members were working on dissertations. Three faculty members were doing research work for books that they plan to publish. Other research studies resulted in the publication of several articles.
The Columbus College is planning various research studies that it hopes will provide the means for making better and more accurate appraisals of students and faculty members and of the work that they do. Some of these studies will be conducted in cooperation with other educational institutions. The College is also participating in a study of the administrative problems of public and private junior colleges.
At the Armstrong College four faculty members were engaged in some type of research work. One faculty member published a mimeographed booklet on College Algebra.
40

Several faculty members of the Albany State College were devoting some of their time to research work. Thr8e articles were published by faculty members during the year.
At the Fort Valley State College eleven faculty members were devoting some of their time to research during the year. Publications consisted of one textbook and four articles.
In December 1960 there was released another issue of The Faculty Research Edition of the Savannah State College Bulletin. This publication contained nine articles on a variety of subjects by members of the faculty of the Savannah State College. Another faculty member published some poems and still another faculty member conducted exhibitions of his paintings.
LIBRARIES
For many years the institutions of the University System did not receive adequate support for their libraries. In more recent years the Board of Regents has been trying to correct this situation, but the task is a difficult one and progress has not been as rapid as we wish it could have been.
As was pointed out in the report of last year, the Board has within the past ten years erected new library buildings at six institutions of the System and it has constructed annexes to libraries on the campuses of three other institutions.
During 1960-61 a contract was let for the construction of a new library building at the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton. At the end of the 1960-61 fiscal year plans were being developed for a new library building at the Medical College of Georgia. The estimated cost of this building is $670,779.00. Plans were also being drawn for a library-classroom building at the Georgia Southwestern College and for a library annex at the Fort Valley State College.
During 1960-61 the teaching institutions of the University System expended $1 ,469,903.18 for the operations of their libraries. This figure includes expenditures for personal services, books, bindings, and supplies. The expenditures during 1960-61 were approximately $90,000.00 more than they were during the preceding year.
During the past year the institutions have added 73,547 books to their collections. In addition to books, they have added new serial subscriptions, technical reports, government documents, maps, slides, films, and filmstrips. Additions have also been made to the holdings of the libraries of the Agricultural Experiment Stations.
For a number of years we have tried to present in these reports statistics regarding the circulation of books among students and faculty
41

members. Most of the institutions of the System now have open stacks and no record is kept of the use of book.s in the library. Some institutions keep records on reserve books used in the library. Two or three institutions continue to keep records on all books used in the libraries as well as on books taken from the libraries. Because of the different practices followed by the libraries, the circulation figures reported to this office no longer afford a basis for accurate comparisons of the extent to which students and faculty members utilize library services. For this reason, no figures regarding circulation are presented in this report.
We are, however, setting forth for the first time the amount expended by each institution for all library purposes. We are also presenting figures that show the amount per student that each institution spends for such purposes. In arriving at the latter figures, we have divided the total library expenditures by the number of full-time equivalent students enrolled during the four quarters of the year.
The following table contains some statistical data regarding new acquisitions, total holdings of books, and expenditures for library purposes.

PUBLIC SERVICES
There will be presented in this section or the report a brief statement regarding the non-credit instructional programs that are offered by some of the institutions of the University System. These non-instructional programs consist, to a considerable extent, of institutes, short courses, and conferences that bring together groups of people. They also include the personal conferences and consultations that staff members of the institutions have with individual citizens of the State. In these personal conferences on specific problems in which a citizen may have a particular interest some of the most effective educational work is done.
The two institutions with well-organized and comprehensive programs of public service are the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Other institutions provide a wide variety of public services but, since they do not have special staffs for this type of work, the scope of their programs of public service is not so broad as that of the University and Georgia Tech.
Some specific comments will be made on the programs of the two larger institutions.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The University's programs of public services are conducted through the Continuing Education Center, the Agricultural Extension Service, and other agencies within the University organization.
THE CoNTINUING EDUCATION CENTER. The Continuing Education Center tok over the functions that were formerly performed by the Division of General Extension. It conducts off-campus centers in various parts of the State and it offers extension classes and correspondence courses in localities where off-campus centers do not exist. The student enrollments in these programs that carry academic credit are set forth in the section of this report that is entitled STUDENTS.
The Continuing Education Center occupies a magnificent building on the University campus in Athens. The cost of this building was paid largely from a grant received from the Kellogg Foundation. The building, in some respects, resembles a hotel. It has guest rooms, dining rooms, conference rooms, and an auditorium. It provides excellent facilities for groups that come together for conferences and discussions.
During the past year the Continuing Education Center conducted 401 conferences in which 23,104 adult citizens participated. Of the 401 conferences, 190 were programs that lasted for more than one day and in which 17,634 people were enrolled.
43

Each school and college of the University provided instructional services for at least one program. Two..hundred twenty-eight faculty members served as speakers, group discussion leaders, consultants, panel leaders, and resource persons.
Eighty-five of the conferences were designed to help citizens improve the economic standards of the State; 48 had as their objective the raising of the educational levels of citizens; 22 of the conferences were for the purpose of improving the competence of governmental officials at local, State, and federal levels; I 0 conferences were designed to improve the cultural and recreational life of our people; 11 conferences had as their object the encouragement of citizens to participate in civic and political activities; and 5 conferences were designed to help citizens strengthen their churches as social institutions.
These and other public service programs of the Continuing Education Center tend to promote the improvement of every phase of the lives and activities of the people of our State.
In addition to the conferences in Athens, the Center provided many off-campus services for other thousands of Georgia citizens. For instance, the Center operated a Drama Loan Library, provided a Traveling Art Exhibit, furnished materials for civic clubs and women's organizations, and assisted with the development of programs of music in the public schools.
The Continuing Education Center operates Television Station WGTV. This is an educational television station that provides programs for people at all educational levels and with varying types of interests. The station completed its first year of operation during which it provided programs that covered approximately 1,200 hours. The programs were offered only during the evening hours. The public response to these television programs has been exceedingly good.
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE. The Agricultural Extension Service is a division of the College of Agriculture that has as its primary objective the improvement of every phase of rural life in Georgia. Through its staffs of county agents and home demonstration agents, the Extension Service makes its influence felt even in the most remote locations of the State. It conducts a great variety of programs for farmers, for homemakers, for the boys and girls in rural areas, and for citizens generally who are interested in community improvement.
The program of the Agricultural Extension Service is supported with funds received from the State, from the federal government, and from the counties. The Board of Regents provided State funds in the amount of $1,662,000.00 for the operation of the Extension Service during 1960-
44

61. Total funds available for operations during that year amounted to $5,474,112.65. Total expenditures for op~ations during 1960-61 were $5,359,437.39. The corresponding figure for the preceding year was $5,044,318.38.
The Agricultural Extension Service is now conducting three pilot programs that have already been of inestimable value to the State and that hold great promise for the future. One is the Soil Fertility Program in which 80 counties are now participating. Another is the Rural Development Program that began in 1956 with four pilot counties. The program has been so successful that 140 counties are now participating or are preparing to participate. The third is the Community Development Program that began in 1946 under the leadership of the Extension Service. During the past year 65 counties and 254 communities worked with the Extension Service for the further development of this program. More than 30,000 individual citizens participated in its activities.
In the area of family living, more than 165,000 families were assisted by programs in home economics during the past year. Homemakers were reached through 1,574 organized Home Demonstration Clubs and through mass communication. Workshops and clinics for special interest groups had a total attendance of 12,734 persons.
During last year 147,000 Georgia boys and girls took part in the work of 2,802 4-H Clubs throughout the State. Forty-one per cent of the membership came from farm homes; 27% from rural non-farm homes; and 32% from urban homes. Members conducted 336,524 projects with a total estimated value of $15,000,000.00. Thirty-six State winners attended the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. In competition with the best 4-H Club members in the nation, Georgia representatives won three national and three sectional honors.
During the past year members of the Agricultural Extension Service conducted training meetings, short courses, tours, and clinics that were attended by more than 125,000 farmers of the State. These meetings dealt with all of the problems with which the various types of farmers in the State are faced. The meetings covered at least 14 general areas of farm work and activities.
In addition to group meetings, there were literally hundreds of thousands of meetings between county agents and individual farmers. In personal conversations, the farmer receives advice and suggestions regarding his own special and individual problems.
The Agricultural Extension Service also tried to reach the people of the State through mass media. During the course of the year, the Extension Service published 61 books, bulletins, and pamphlets. Staff
45

members published 84 magazine articles. Approximately 500,000 copies of publications were distributed. to the pegple of the State.
The Extension Service provided factual news reports on agriculture, home economics, and 4-H Club work to all weekly and daily newspapers in the State. It provided daily radio programs over two radio stations and provided approximately 40 other stations with daily or weekly programs. The Extension Service also made available educational motion pictures that were shown to approximately 750,000 citizens of the State.
OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES OF THE UNIVERSITY. There are within the University a number of organizations and agencies that provide various segments of the people of Georgia with services that are exceedingly valuable in many respects. Within the scope of this report only brief comments can be made about these programs. Additional information may be secured from the Annual Reports of the University and its various divisions.
THE GEORGIA REVIEW. The annual circulation of the University's literary quarterly is now approximately 2,000. About half of the subscribers are in Georgia. During the year the Review received 2,450 manuscripts. Of this number, 340 came from Georgia, 2,077 from other states, and 33 from foreign countries. Seventy-one of these manuscripts were accepted for publication. Many articles, poems, and stories originally published in the Review have appeared and will continue to appear in books that are compilations of the best of current literary writings.
THE UNIVERSITY PRESS. The Press released 13 books during the past year. Of this number eight were written by authors or editors connected with the University of Georgia. Six of the publications were in the field of history, two in political science, one in Southern literature. and four in the fields of social science and business. The Press reprinted five titles, including four volumes dealing with Georgia for which there continues to be a great demand. In addition to its regular publishing program, the Press assisted the Georgia Center for Continuing Education with the publication of six volumes that are used in the Center's instructional program.
GEORGIA MusEuM OF ART. Under the direction of Mr. Alfred H. Holbrook the Georgia Museum of Art continues to expand its facilities, enlarge its collections, and provide services and exhibitions for additional hundreds of people.
The Holbrook Collection now has a total of 787 art items. Mr. Holbrook himself has continued to give many art items to the Museum. Many gifts of paintings and art objects have been received from patrons of the Museum and others have been purchased from contributions of
46

money made by patrons. One of the finest gifts that have come to the University's Department of Art and Musew.m was received during the past year. This gift consisted of twelve paintings by artists of the Renaissance period. These paintings were received from the Kress Foundation and they are valued at approximately $100,000.00.
Many exhibitions of art are held in the Art Museum on the University campus. These exhibitions display the collections of the Museum and also collections of paintings that are borrowed or rented from various sources. The Museum also lends materials from its own collection for exhibition in Georgia and in other states.
INSTITUTE OF LAW AND GovERNMENT. The Institute of Law and Government is a division of the School of Law that is doing some valuable research work and that is rendering public services of a very high order. During the year the Institute issued eight publications dealing with various phases of laws and governmental policies of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions. The Institute also did extensive staff studies for the Special Joint Committee on Rules Changes of the Georgia General Assembly. The Institute entered into a $12,000.00 contract with the U. S. Southeast River Basins Study Commission to conduct a study of State and federal laws regarding water in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina.
During the year the Institute of Law and Government, in cooperation with the Continuing Education Center, conducted twelve conferences for attorneys and for various types of officials of the State and local governments. One of these conferences was a two-day session for members of the General Assembly of the State. This conference was attended by more than two-thirds of the members of the General Assembly and by many officials of the State.
ScHOOL OF JouRNALISM. For a number of years the School of Journalism has conducted an excellent instructional program and it has also been able to provide a.variety of services for college and high school students and for those engaged in newspaper, radio, and television, and public relations work. Some of the conventions and conferences sponsored by the School of Journalism during the past year were:
(I ) The 34th annual convention of the Georgia Scholastic Press Association for more than a thousand high school editors and their advisers.
(2) The 33rd annual Georgia Press Institute for newspaper editors of Georgia.
( 3) The 2 I st annual presentation of George Foster Peabody Radio and Television Awards. The awards were made at a meeting in New

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The Engineering Extension Division of the Georgia Institute of Technology is responsible for the operation of the Evening School and the Southern Technical Institute. Each of these subdivisions of the Extension Division offers some courses that carry academic credit. Figures on enrollments in these credit courses are set forth in the section on STUDENTS. The Extension Division also conducts some non-credit courses and many non-credit conferences and short courses and provides other public services that will be discussed briefly at this point.
The Extension Division has made some expansions in its programs of non-credit courses. The pre-freshman curriculum has been increased from 17 quarter hours to 32 quarter hours of work. There are courses in algebra, geometry, English, trigonometry, physics, and chemistry. These courses provide a good foundation for the rigorous college credit courses that follow. The Extension Division has also developed a noncredit curriculum in Industrial Supervision. This program is offered for industrial people in the Atlanta area. Certificates are given to those who successfully complete the program.
During the year the Extension Division conducted 28 short courses and 5 conferences that were attended by 1,298 persons. There were several new offerings, including work in aeronautical engineering for the U.S. Air Force and courses in investment for professional people. The Extension Division was also preparing a film for a television short course in nuclear physics. This film will be released later in the year.
The enrollment in the Fire Institute program and in other programs conducted by the Department of Industrial Education continued to grow. A total of 6,165 persons were enrolled in these courses during 1960-61.
49

This was an increase of 19% over the enrollment during the preceding year.
OTHER INSTITUTIONS
With the exception of the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology, the institutions of the University System have few formal and highly-organized programs of public service. This does not mean, however, that these other institutions do not render services of great value to the people in their respective areas of the State and to the people of the State as a whole.
Faculty members in all institutions participate very actively in the work of civic, professional, and religious organizations. They are called upon each year to make thousands of speeches on a great variety of topics. They serve as consultants to public schools and act as judges in many types of competitive events. They serve as advisers to various local governmental agencies and they hold positions of leadership in national, regional, and State educational organizations.
The citizens of the State gather on the campuses of the institutions of the System for meetings of various kinds. The institutions are glad to provide for citizens programs of lectures, music and concerts, dramatic productions, art exhibits, and other programs that will be helpful to them. Several institutions are asked regularly to prepare and offer radio and television programs. The Georgia State College of Business Administration has offered during the year a series of television programs that have received very favorable attention.
Since all institutions provide services of essentially the type mentioned above, specific mention will be made of only a few institutions whose programs are marked by special characteristics.
The Medical College conducted four short courses for medical practitioners and one short course for administrators of nursing service in community hospitals. The Medical College also conducted two extramural programs at medical society meetings at Albany and Douglas.
The West Georgia College continued its College in the Country program. This program has received national and international attention. Three hundred ninety-seven adult citizens enrolled in courses during the past year. The College also conducted three studycades for a total of I 08 persons.
Mention should be made of the fact that the Educational Clinic of the Valdosta State College is providing a limited program of diagnostic services for public school children who have speech difficulties.
The Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College has gone forward with its program of short courses for farmers and agricultural workers. During
50

the past year 42 short courses were conducted under the direction of Dean Cordell. These short COI.!rses were ...attended by 3,887 persons from 108 counties of Georgia, 14 other states, and 3 foreign countries.
The Savannah State College continued its program of correspondence work for Negro students. In these courses there was a cumulative enrollment of 324. The College provided credit courses for approximately 100 evening students and non-credit evening courses for 160 adults.

During 1960-61 expenditures for educational and general purposes were $4,785,276.53 in excess.of like ex);lenditures during the preceding year. There were increases in all phases of the educational and general operations. Among the larger increases were $1,257,482.93 for Instruction and $1,240,365.56 for Research. The figure for Instruction reflects increases for the employment of additional teachers and for modest increases in the salaries of faculty members. The figure for Research is higher because of the greater support provided for the Agricultural Experiment Stations and because of the expanded operations of the Engineering Experiment Station. The greater part of funds for the operation of the Engineering Experiment Station is received for research done under contracts with governmental agencies and private industry. New buildings that were placed into operation during the year were largely responsible for an increase of $586,764.23 in Plant Operations. There was an increase of $315,119.01 in the expenditures of the Agricultural Extension Service.
The figures in the next table indicate the percentage of the total expenditures that was used for each of the several phases of the educational and general program during 1959-60 and 1960-61. It is apparent that the percentages were practically the same for both years. The highest variation is only seven-tenths of one per cent.

STATE ALLOCATIONS PER STUDENT TO INSTITUTIONS OF UNIY_ERSITY ~Y~TEM
In this section figures are presented to indicate the amount of money per student that various institutions of the University System received from State funds.
The first column of the next table shows the allotment to each institution for educational and general purposes. The second column shows the average number of full-time students or their equivalent registered in each institution during the regular nine months' session of 1960-61. The third column shows the State allocation per student on the basis of the number of students enrolled in the regular session.
Two additional columns of figures are presented in order to provide a basis for a more accurate comparison of State funds made available to the institutions on a per student basis. Most institutions operate in the summer as well as during the regular academic year. Some institutions conduct classes in the evening hours and on Saturdays. In order to arrive at figures that will reflect the costs of all phases of the educational and general program, we have taken the total number of quarter credit hours offered for resident students of all types in each institution and have divided this number by 50. The figure 50 represents the approximate average number of quarter credit hours earned by a full-time student in the University System during an academic year of three quarters. The figures in the last column show the amount of State funds allotted for the offering of 50 quarter credit hours in each of the institutions of the University System.

As the preceding table indicates, there is a considerable variation in the amounts per student that are allotted to the institutions. This variation results largely from differences in the nature and level of instructional programs, and from differences in the internal income situations in the institutions. The Board of Regents tries to provide each institution with an allocation that, with the institution's internal income, will enable the institution to perform effectively the duties and functions assigned to it.

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

The table set forth above takes into consideration not only State income but income received by institutions from various other sources for instructional and non-instructional purposes. Since the functions of some institutions are wholly instructional in their nature and since these institutions received no funds for non-instructional purposes, the table does not afford a basis for an accurate comparison of the percentages of income received by institutions from fees and of income received from the State for instructional costs. The Treasurer of the Board of Regents has, therefore, prepared a second table in which items of income for noninstructional purposes have been eliminated. The table shows the percentage of institutional income for instruction that is received from the State, the percentage of income for instruction that is derived from student fees, and the percentage of income for instruction that comes from other sources.

It is evident from the figures set forth above that the percentage of instructional costs paid from State funds varies from 55.1 per cent at the Southern Technical Institute to 80.4 per cent at the Savannah State College. During recent years the percentages of institutional incomes from State appropriations have increased more rapidly than the percentages of income from student fees. The result is that there has been a decided upward trend in the share of instructional cost that is borne by the State.

EXPENDITURES BY INSTITUTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
There appears on pages 62 and 63 of this report a statement showing the purposes for which institutional funds were expended and the amount that was spent for each of the several purposes indicated. The figures in this statement reflect expenditures for operating costs only and do not include capital outlay expenditures.

EXPENDITURES PER STUDENT IN TERMS OF DOLLARS
The figures in the next and last table in this section on FINANCES show the amount per student, in terms of dollars, that each institution spent for each of the several purposes indicated. In arriving at these figures, all types of resident enrollment were taken into consideration. The figures are based on a number of full-time students that was determined by dividing by 50 the total number of student quarter hours of work offered by an institution. The figure 50 represents the average number of quarter hours of work taken by a full-time student in the University System during an academic year of three quarters. The figures in the last column indicate the amount that each institution paid to provide a student with instructional and other related services over a period of nine months. From these computations expenditures for operating laboratory or practice schools, for providing clinical facilities for medical students, and other expenditures not common to most institutions have been eliminated.

PHYSICAL PLANTS
During the 1960-61 fiscal year the Board of Regents continued its efforts to expand and improve the physical plants of the institutions of the University System. The growth in student enrollments that has already taken place and the continuing growth that is anticipated for the future make it imperative that many additional buildings be erected on the campuses of the institutions. If, for any reason, more buildings are not provided, the result will be that most of the institutions will be forced to refuse to admit many qualified applicants.
65

In the past year buildings costing $11,008,179.00 were completed at eight institutions of the Systef!l. The foll,2wing table shows the locations and the costs of buildings completed:

REPAIRS AND REHABILITATION
All institutions of the System carry -funds in their budgets for the upkeep and maintenance of physical plants and for normal repair and renovation work. The annual reports of the institutions list the various types of improvements that were made during the year and the costs of the larger projects.
The Board of Regents has continued its special efforts to rehabilitate and modernize many of the older buildings in the University System and to make them safe for use by students and faculty members. During the past ten years the Board has made special allocations of more than $7,500,000.00 for these major repair and rehabilitation projects. Special allocations made by the Board during 1960-61 amounted to $560,950.00.
LAND ACQUISITIONS
Several institutions of the University System are finding it necessary to acquire additional land in order to provide for present and future expansions of their physical plants. In some of the larger cities the institutions are seeking to secure additional land through urban renewal programs. The University of Georgia in Athens, the Georgia State College in Atlanta, the Medical College in Augusta, and the Armstrong College in Savannah are seeking to expand their respective campuses through urban renewal projects.
In addition to funds set aside for urban renewal projects, several institutions have purchased properties adjacent to their respective campuses. During 1960-61 the University of Georgia made arrangements for the purchase of seven parcels of land at a total cost of $1 11 ,965.00. The Georgia Institute of Technology purchased eight pieces of property that cost $137,250.00. The Georgia State College of Business Administration was authorized to acquire five parcels of land at a cost of $200,540.00.
In a few instances in which it was not possible to purchase needed properties at reasonable prices, condemnation proceedings were authorized by the Board of Regents. Some of these proceedings were pending at the close of the fiscal year.

NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
Careful studies have been made of the nature and extent of the demands that will be made on the University System during the years immediately ahead. Estimates have been made of the costs of meeting these demands. Detailed information regarding these matters will be presented to the appropriate officials of the State and committees of the General Assembly. In this report we shall make only a brief and general statement regarding some of the purposes for which additional financial support will be needed.
INSTRUCTION FOR ADDITIONAL STUDENTS. During 1960-61 the cumulative enrollment of students during the regular nine months' academic session reached an all-time high of 34,492. This figure is more than fifty per cent above the enrollment of seven years ago. There is good

76

reason to believe that, if teachers and facilities are available, the University System's student enrollment in 1970 wtU be at least fifty per cent above the enrollment in 1960-61. This will be an increase of approximately 17,000 students. If one new teacher is employed per each twenty new students, then approximately 850 additional teachers must be added to the faculties of the institutions of the University System between now and 1970. Additional money will be needed for the salaries of these teachers.
NEW BUILDINGS. The physical plants of most institutions of the University System are not now adequate in size to take care of present student enrollments. To make provision for the numbers of students presently enrolled and for the additional students who are certain to come, many new buildings will be needed.
The current annual report of each institution of the System lists the new buildings that the institution needs now or that it will need in the years immediately ahead. The University of Georgia says that over the next four-year period it will need new buildings that will cost approximately $14,850,000.00. The Georgia Institute of Technology reports that it presently needs a number of additional buildings and that the estimated cost of these buildings, on the basis of present prices, is $18,300,000.00. Most of the institutions have not presented estimates of the cost of the new facilities that they need. It is probable that the cost of the additional facilities that will be required for the enrollments of the early 1970's will be in the neighborhood of $75,000,000.00.
EQUIPMENT, SuPPLIES, BooKs, OPERAnoNs. As student enrollments grow in size, additional funds will be needed for instructional equipment and supplies. The libraries of the institutions of the System at the present time have holdings of books that are relatively small. To bring library holdings up to the levels of the better institutions of the South and to provide adequately for the increased numbers of students, considerable amounts of additional money must be provided for library expenditures.
As the physical plants of the institutions expand, more money will be required for their operation and maintenance.
SALARIES OF FACULTY MEMBERS. During recent years substantial increases have been made in the salaries of faculty members in institutions of the University System. At the beginning of the period of increases, our salaries were low in comparison with the salaries in other comparable institutions of the South and the nation. Our increases in recent years have hardly matched the increases in other states. As a result, our salaries are still low in comparison with salaries paid elsewhere.
77

Mr. Blissit, Treasurer of the Board of Regents, has prepared a study that indicates that the University Systew. would need $3,105,000.00 in order to raise salaries of faculty members to the level of average salaries paid in comparable institutions throughout the nation. To raise salaries to the third quartile-a point midway between average salary levels and top salary levels-would require $5,474,000.00. An additional $450,000.00 would be needed for comparable increases in the salaries of non-academic personnel.
Unless substantial increases in the salaries of faculty members are made in the reasonably near future, our institutions will lose many of their outstanding teachers and scholars to institutions in other states and it will be exceedingly difficult to employ new personnel of the caliber that our institutions should have.
The people of the State and their elected representatives must soon decide whether they wish to embark upon a course that will lead to the development of a strong and great University System.
CONCLUSION
The officials of the State and the members of the General Assembly have manifested a cooperative and helpful spirit in all of their dealings with the University System and its institutions. For their understanding attitudes, their assistance, and their support the Board of Regents and all of its employees express grateful appreciation.
During the past year the officials, the faculty members, the staffs, and the alumni of the institutions of the System have worked diligently to strengthen their respective institutions and to provide outstanding programs of educational service for the people of Georgia. The Board expresses its gratitude for the splendid work that has been done by the personnel of the various institutions. The Board also feels a sense of deep appreciation for the work of the staff of the Regents' Office.
The entire personnel of the University System and the people of the State are deeply indebted to the members of the Board of Regents for the leadership that they have given to the forces of publicly-supported higher education in Georgia. The members of the Board have given generously of their time and they have worked tirelessly and conscientiously for the advancement of the interests of the University System and the people of the State.
Respectfully submitted, Harmon W. Caldwell
