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, 1961, and ending June 30, 1962.
Sincerely,
Robert 0. Arnold
REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY- SYSTEM OF GEORGIA 1961-62 ACADEMIC YEAR
To THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS
OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA:
It is a pleasure to submit to you a report that describes briefly some of the major phases of the work of the University System of Georgia and its institutions for the year that ended on June 30, 1962.
The details regarding the internal operations of the several institutions of the University System are covered in the reports of the presidents. This report will deal primarily with the work of the University System as a whole, but it will contain data that are presented in the institutional reports.
GENERAL STATEMENT
During 1961-62 the student enrollment in the University System continued to increase. In 1961-62 the cumulative enrollment for the regular academic session of nine months was 37,353. This figure represents an increase of 2,861 over the enrollment for the preceding year. The percentage increase was 8.3%.
The enrollment figure given above includes only students who took work in residence at some one of the nineteen institutions of the System. It does not include students in extension centers, and neither does it include persons who attended extension classes or took correspondence courses. And, of course, it does not include the many thousands of persons who attended non-credit short courses, conferences, and institutes.
The enrollment increase in the graduate schools has been higher, in terms of percentages, than enrollments at the undergraduate level. For instance, the University of Georgia's enrollment in graduate courses during 1961-62 was 933 as compared with 738 during the preceding year. The graduate enrollment at the Georgia Institute of Technology increased from 567 to 636.
Some institutions in the University System are gradually placing more emphasis on the development of programs of advanced graduate work. During 1961-62 ,the University of Georgia announced the establishment of three new programs leading to Ph.D. degrees. The University now offers doctoral programs in seventeen separate and distinct fields. During the year the Georgia Institute of Technology inaugurated a new program leading to the Ph.D. degree in Mathematics. This brought the number of
2
doctoral programs at the Georgia Institute of Technology to a total of ten. Most of the institutions report that the qtrality of the work of under-
graduate students continues to improve. The institutions believe that this improvement is, to some extent, attributable to better standards of work in the high schools. The improvement results, to a very considerable extent, from the more rigid selective admission policies, from better counseling programs in the colleges, and from more effective teaching in the classrooms.
The number of young people who wish to go to college is continuing to grow rapidly. There are demands for the establishment of new colleges in several areas of the State. During the past year the Board of Regents approved the setting up of a new junior college at Brunswick in Glynn County. It is expected that the Brunswick College will begin to receive students in September 1964. It is probable that additional new junior colleges will be authorized in the not distant future.
During 1961-62 the University System received from the State under the General Appropriations Act the sum of $33,385,000.00 The amount received during 1960-61 was $30,201,666.95. Each of these figures includes $3,500,000.00 for the operation of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital that provides clinical facilities for the Medical College of Georgia. State funds available under the General Appropriations Acts were $3,183,333.05 higher in 1961-62 than they were during the preceding year.
During 1961-62 the Board of Regents continued its efforts to expand and improve the physical facilities of the institutions of the University System. In 1961-62 construction work on building costing $9,724,672.00 was completed. On June 30, 1962 construction work was going forward on additional buildings with an estimated cost of $22,982,718.00.
APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS, INSTITUTIONAL HEADSHIPS, AND REGENTS' STAFF
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 listed in the annual reports of the presidents. There are listed in this report only the changes in the personnel of the Board of Regents, the Board's staff, and the presidencies of the institutions.

REGENTS
On January I, I962 the seven-year term of Mr. Carey Williams, Regent from the State-at-Large, expired. On February I2 Governor S. Ernest Vandiver reappointed Mr. Williams for a second seven-year term beginning January I, I962 and ending January 1, I969. Mr. Williams, as a Regent, has rendered a splendid service to the University System and the State. He has handled extremely well the exacting duties of the position of Chairman of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds.
The seven-year term of Mr. Everett Williams, Regent from the First Congressional District, ended on January I, I962. Governor Vandiver appointed Mr. Anton F. Solms, Jr. of Savannah as the successor to Mr. Everett Williams.
While on the Board of Regents Mr. Williams served as a member of the Committee on Research and Extension, as a member of the Committee on Education, and as Chairman of the Committee on Organization and Law. From July 1, 1960 to the expiration of his term as a Regent, Mr. Williams served as Vice Chairman of the Board. Mr. Williams served the University System and the State of Georgia with great distinction.
Mr. Solms, who succeeds Mr. Everett Williams as a member of the Board of Regents, is engaged in the practice of law in Savannah. He is a graduate of the University of Georgia. He is a veteran of World War II and he has taken a leading part in the religious, cultural, and social life of the City of Savannah.
STAFF OF THE REGENTS' OFFICE
As was pointed out in the Annual Report for I960-6I, Dr. Arthur M. Gignilliat gave up his administrative duties in the Regents' office on September 1, 196I. He accepted a position as Professor of English and Head of the Department of English at the Valdosta State College. As a member of the Regents' staff, Dr. Gignilliat performed a very fine service for the University System and its institutions.
On April II, 1962 Dr. S. Walter Martin was appointed to the position of Vice Chancellor of the University System. He assumed the duties of his new position on September I, I962.
Dr. Martin was born in Tifton, Georgia. He received the A.B. degree from Furman University, the M.A. degree from the University of Georgia, and the Ph.D. degree in History from ,the University of North Carolina. He holds honorary doctor's degrees from several institutions. Dr. Martin was a member of the faculty of the University of Georgia
4
from 1935 to 1949. From 1949 to 1957 he was Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Geo.rgia. From 1957 until the time of his resignation to accept the Vice Chancellorship of the University System, Dr. Martin was President of Emory University in Atlanta.
During the past year Mr. Joseph A. Klock joined the staff of the Office of Testing and Guidance as Supervisor of Research and Statistical Operations. Comments on this appointment are set forth in the report of the Director of Testing and Guidance. This report is included in the section on Instruction.
PRESIDENTS
On May 10, 1961 the Board of Regents appointed Dr. James E. Boyd as President of the West Georgia College. Dr. Boyd assumed the duties of the presidency on August 15, 1961.
In May 1961 the Regents named Dr. J. Wilson Comer to succeed Mr. George P. Donaldson as President of the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Mr. Donaldson retired on June 30, 1961 and Dr. Comer assumed the duties of the presidency on July 1, 1961.
Comments on both of these appointments will be found in the Annual Report for 1960-61.
FACULTIES OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
During 1961-62 eighteen institutions of the University System had in their teaching faculties a total of 1,641 faculty members. The figure does not include individuals in the divisions of organized research and extension even though they may have held academic rank. Figures on the Medical College are also excluded because many faculty members in that institution devote a very considerable part of their time to clinical and research work.
The eighteen institutions listed in the following table had 80 more faculty members in 1961-62 than they had during the preceding year. The increase in the number of faculty members was relatively small when we consider the fact that the cumulative student enrollment figure in 1961-62 was 2,861 above the corresponding figure for 1960-61 and the further fact that the full-time equivalent enrollment figure increased by 2,282. Student enrollment figures increased approximately 9% and the number of faculty members increased by less than 5% .
The table set forth below shows the number of faculty members of various ranks in each of eighteen institutions of the University System and it also shows the average salaries paid to faculty members in each of
5
the several ranks. The salaries set forth are for teaching duties on a nine months' basis. Those who taught duriag the summer quarter received additional compensation.

The salaries set forth above indicate the amounts that were paid from strictly institutional funds. The University of Georgia, the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Georgia State College, and certain other institutions receive from alumni, foundations, and other sources, funds that are used to supplement the salaries paid to some outstanding faculty members from State funds. The amounts of these supplements are, in most cases, relatively small, but they have, nevertheless, enabled institu-
6
tions to keep a number of faculty members who were considering offers from other institutions.
WORKLOAD OF FACULTY MEMBERS
The figures in the next table show the number of faculty members and other teachers, in terms of full-time equivalents, who taught in each institution of the University System during the 1961-62 academic year. The figures include only ,those who taught at the college level and were paid from State funds. In arriving at these figures, time devoted by faculty members to non-teaching duties has been excluded, and time given to teaching duties by persons without faculty rank has been included.
The second column shows the average number of students per teacher in each of the several institutions.
The third column shows the average number of hours per week that faculty members in each of the several institutions devoted to teaching duties. Hours given to preparation for classes, grading of papers, conferences with students, committee work, and other non-teaching work are not included.

The fourth and last column shows the average teaching load in terms of student quarter hours for f?_culty melllbers in each of the institutions. A course that meets five times each week during a quarter carries five quarter hours credit. If a teacher conducts such a course for twenty students, his teaching load for that course is one hundred student quarter credit hours.
A comparison of the figures in the table set forth above with corresponding figures for 1960-61 will show that in 1961-62 there was a slight increase in the number of students per teacher in the University System as a whole and that there was also a slight increase in the average number of quarter credit hours per teacher. These increases are due to the fact that the percentage increase of students was somewhat higher than the percentage increase of faculty members.
The next table shows the number of faculty members in each institution during 1960-61; the number who, for various reasons, did not continue as faculty members during 1961-62; and the number of replacements and new appointments that were made. The institutions at the end of 1960-61 lost 230 of their 1,561 faculty members. For 1961-62 the total number of replacements and appointments to new positions was 310.

COMMENTS ON WORK OF FACULTIES
Throughout the University System the qtrality of the faculties continues to improve year by year. With increased salaries the institutions are able to attract more capable faculty members than they could secure in previous years. A generous policy of leaves for advanced study is raising the academic level of faculty members with long periods of service in the University Sys,tem. And, most important of all, there is evidence of a new determination on the part of faculty members to improve the quality of instruction, to require students to measure up to higher intellectual standards, and to make the institutions of the System the great centers of learning that they should be.
There is still much room for improvement in the various teaching and research programs of our institutions. We believe confidently, however, that we are moving in the right direction. It is our hope that in the not distant future Georgia will have a publicly-supported system of higher education that will be second to none in the land.

It may be of interest to note that the number of first-year students in 1961-62 was 63 7 m excess of the number of first-year students in 1960-61, whereas the 1960-61 figure was 853 above the first-year student enrollment for 1959-60. For 1961-62 the largest percentage increases in enrollments were in the second year of under-graduate work, in graduate courses of study, and in irregular and special programs.
BREAKDOWN OF RESIDENT ENROLLMENT
The following table gives a breakdown 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 observe that the enrollment of women students continues to increase at a more rapid rate than the enrollment of men students. The enrollment of women students in 1961-62 was 15.6% above the enrollment in 1960-61. The increase in the enrollment of men students was only 4.8%.
As is to be expected, the enrollment of veteran students continues to decline. Veteran enrollment dropped from 2,340 in 1960-61 to 1,430 in 1961-62.

The next table shows the student enrollments in the various institutions during the summer quarter of 1961.
As the table indicates, five institutions conducted programs that extended throughout the summer quarter. Ten institutions divided the summer quarter into two sessions. Three institutions conducted single sessions that lasted for only a part of a quarter. The South Georgia College offered no summer work.
The full-time equivalent student enrollment during the summer quarter of 1961 was 13.5% above the corresponding figure for the summer of 1960.

5,754 in 1961-62. The increase in non-resident students at the University of Georgia was 328 and at the Georgia'institute of Technology the increase was 121. The growing recognition of the scope and quality of the graduate programs at the University and at the Georgia Institute of Technology is, to a considerable extent, responsible for the increases in non-resident students at these institutions.
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 for which academic credit is given. 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 academic credit are offered by Georgia Tech in its Evening School and in the Southern Technical Institute.
The Albany State College continues to conduct an off-campus center in Columbus for Negro students. The Savannah State College conducts a program of correspondence work for Negroes.
The figures in the next table show the cumulative enrollments in extension programs during the four quarters of the 1961-62 academic year, the average number of individual students per quarter, and the number of equivalent full-time students who took extension work during the year.
The enrollments in extension courses during 1961-62 were approximately 10% above the extension enrollments for 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 discusssion of work of this type is presented in the section of this report that deals with Public Services.
SATURDAY CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS
During the past year several institutions of the University System continued to offer Saturday and evening classes for which academic credit was given. Eight institutions conducted special workshops for teachers. The University of Georgia and Emory University again cooperated in offering work for in-service teachers in the Atlanta area.

STUDENT WORK AND ACTIVITIES
AcADEMIC WoRK. The faculties of dte institutions of the University System are continuing their efforts to raise academic standards and they are insisting that students strive to reach higher levels of academic achievement.
The faculties of most of the institutions report that they are getting a good response from students. For instance, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Georgia makes the following report:
"The academic work of our students is definitely improving. Probably more improvement was made during the past year than in any previous year."
The Dean of the College of Agriculture of the University says that the quality of the work of students in the College of Agriculture has been increasing. He says that this improvement results from the selective admissions program and also from the stronger instructional programs that are now offered in high schools and junior colleges of ,the State.
The Dean of the College of Business Administration has submitted the following report:
"Academic work of the students in this College has improved, and we are hoping for continued improvement. We feel that students come to us better prepared than they did several years ago, and with a better mental attitude toward their studies. Much remains to be done, however."
The reports from most of the institutions of the University System are similar to the reports from the University of Georgia. It is undoubtedly true that both faculty members and students are striving diligently to reach higher levels of intellectual attainment. Because of the higher standards that are being adopted by the faculties, it is difficult for some students in several of the institutions to make satisfactory grades. In the System as a whole there has been no decline in the number of academic probations and in the number of suspensions for academic deficiencies. In some institutions there has been a significant increase in the numbers of students with academic difficulties. It is worthy of note that four junior colleges during 1961-62 suspended 580 students for failing to maintain satisfactory levels of academic work. These four institutions were the Georgia Southwestern College, the Middle Georgia College, the South Georgia College, and the Armstrong College.
Although the upward revision in standards is creating some hardships, there is reason to believe that both the faculties and the students in the University System are moving in the right direction.
CONDUCT. The conduct of members of the student bodies of institu-
20
tions of the University System was, on the whole, very satisfactory. Only three institutions reported difficulties of aa unusual nature. In most institutions the numbers of suspensions for misconduct were very small. In one institution approximately 1% of the students were suspended. In only three institutions were the numbers of suspensions in excess of 1% of the students enrolled. The great majority of students in the University System are very orderly and well-behaved. They constitute a group of young people of whom their parents and the citizens of the State may well be proud.
AcTIVITIES. All institutions of the University System sponsor broad and comprehensive programs of eXJtracurricular activities. These programs are supplementary to the activities of the classroom and they tend to promote a well-rounded development of the students who participate in them.
There are many activities of a social and recreational nature. There are student publications, glee clubs, and drama clubs. In most institutions there are programs of intramural and intercollegiate athletics. The institutions provide assembly programs at which the students have the opportunity to hear outstanding speakers and lecturers from various parts of the country. Most institutions bring to their campuses religious leaders from various churches. The institutions cooperate with local churches through such agencies as the Baptist Student Union, the Newman Club, and the Wesley Foundation.
Most institutions report that students are showing more interest in extracurricular activities and participating in them to a greater extent than ever before. In reading the institutional reports, however, one occasionally comes across a statement like this one from Georgia Tech:
"This year was characterized by an increasing difficulty in obtaining and retaining able and qualified personnel for student publications. With the growing scholastic demands placed on Georgia Tech students, it has been difficult to obtain persons willing to participate and devote enough time to produce quality publications."
It is probable that more and more of the student activity programs will have experiences similar to that of the student publications at Georgia Tech.
FINANCIAL Am TO STUDENTS. A very large number of the students attending institutions of the University System need financial aid of some type. The institutions undertake to meet the needs of the students, at least partially, by providing them with scholarships, loans, or parttime jobs.
Many of the institutions have funds from which scholarships can be
21
awarded to students. These funds are provided by individuals, business organizations, and foundations:, Many scholarships are made possible by gifts from alumni, civic clubs, chambers of commerce, and organizations representing business and industry.
During 1961-62 the University of Georgia awarded Freshman Scholarships to fifty-nine outstanding high school graduates of the State. The University and other institutions provided many other scholarships with funds received from private sources.
The General Assembly of Georgia at its 1961 session appropriated $100,000.00 to ,the University System for student scholarships. The Board of Regents allotted this money to the institutions, although it retained the right to approve all applicants for scholarships. Each institution received a fractional part of the $100,000.00 appropriation that was determined by the ratio of the institution's resident students to the total number of resident students in all institutions during the Fall Quarter of 1960. During 1961-62 the institutions, with the approval of the Board, awarded Regents' S~holarships to 264 students. These 264 scholarships required $90,853.87 of the State appropriation. The remainder of the appropriation was carried over for use during 1962-63.
The State Medical Education Board continues to provide scholarships for certain students in medical colleges in Georgia and other States. During 1961-62 ninety-seven students in the Medical College of Georgia received these scholarships. Each scholarship is in the amount of $1,250.00 per year.
The State Department of Education is authorized to grant scholarships to students who are preparing to become teachers. This program has grown into one of sizeable proportions. For instance, during 1961-62 seventy-seven students at the Georgia Southern College received State Teachers Scholarships with a total value of $48,522.00. Students in a number of other institutions received scholarships of the same type.
The demands for student loans continue to be very heavy. Most of the institutions have small funds from which loans can be made available to students. The institutions can also assist students in securing loans from various private sources.
Recently the federal government under the provisions of the National Defense Education Act has made money available to colleges and universities for student loan purposes. An institution receiving money under the terms of this Act must put up an amount equal to one-ninth of the amount advanced by the federal government. During each of the past two years, the University of Georgia has received the maximum grant of $250,000.00 under the terms of the National Defense Education
22
Act. From this and other available loan funds the University during 1961-62 made loans to 857 students in a t,ptal amount of $367,000.00. Most of the other institutions were able to make rather generous loans to students who were in need of financial assistance. The West Georgia College, for instance, made student loans in the amount of $41,992.00. The senior institutions for Negro students, with NDEA loans, have been able to be of material assistance to their students. During 1961-62 the Albany State College made NDEA loans to 161 students; the Fort Valley State College made such loans to 117 students; and the Savannah State College made NDEA loans to 126 students.
During the past year practically every institution in the University System employed considerable numbers of students in part-time positions. Many hundreds of students were thus enabled to earn a portion of the money required for their college expenses.
In spite of diligent efforts, the institutions were not able to provide financial assistance for all students who needed it. As a consequence, many students were forced to withdraw from college because their funds were not adequate to cover the costs of attending college.
INSTITUTIONS AND INSTITUTIONAL ORGANIZATION
BRUNSWICK COLLEGE
The Board of Regents has recognized the need for the establishment of new junior colleges in some of the more thickly-populated areas of the State. In June 1961 the Board gave tentative approval to the setting up of a new junior college in the Brunswick area. Since that time the officials of Glynn County, the City of Brunswick, and the Glynn County Board of Education, and citizens of that section of Georgia have acquired land on which the plant of the College will be built. Arrangements have been made for the sale of bonds as a means of providing funds for construction costs. It seems now that the new plant will be completed in 1964 and that the College will be ready to begin operations in September 1964.
DEVELOPMENTS AT THE GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
In March I 962 the Board of Regents approved the recommendation of the officials of the Georgia Institute of Technology that the name of the School of Aeronautical Engineering at that institution be changed to the School of Aerospace Engineering. It was felt that this change of name would reflect the growing interest and increasing responsibility of the School in the field of Aerospace Engineering. The change will also
23
~----------
be in line with the action of the professional society in changing its name from the Institute of A~_ronauticaL Sciences to the Institute of Aerospace Sciences.
In March 1962 the Board of Regents authorized the establishment of a School of Nuclear Engineering within the College of Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The new School will coordinate and administer the various phases of existing programs that lead to the degree of Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering. The new organization became effective on July 1, 1962.
In March 1962 the Regents also approved the setting up of a Nuclear Sciences Division as an administrative division of the Engineering Experiment Station of Georgia Tech. The Division of Nuclear Sciences will be primarily responsible for the research programs in the radioisotopes and the bioengineering field and for the work in the laboratories associated with these fields.
GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE
At its meeting held on December 13, 1961 the Board of Regents authorized the Georgia State College of Business Administration to change its name to the Georgia State College. Within recent years the College has been expanding and strengthening i,ts programs in the field of Arts and Sciences as well as in the field of Business Administration. The dropping of the words "Business Administration" will indicate that the program of the College is no longer so restricted in scope as it has been in the past.
INSTRUCTION
NEw PROGRAMS
The faculties of the institutions of the University System may add, discontinue, or rev,ise courses of study within the framework of curricula that have been approved by the Board of Regents. During 1961-62 the faculties made many curricular changes in an effort to improve the quality of the instructional programs and to make them more meaningful and helpful to students.
Institutions may establish new degree programs or new curricula only with the approval of the Board of Regents. Brief comments will be made about some of the new programs that were approved by the Board during 1961-62.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
In November 1961 the Board of Regents approved the request of the
24
University of Georgia that it be authorized to establish programs of work leading to the Ph.D. degree. in the fielS.S of Comparative Literature, Economics, and Plant Pathology.
The University of Georgia now offers doctoral programs in seventeen separate and distinct fields.
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
During the past year the Georgia Institute of Technology was authorized to establish a program of work leading to the Ph.D. degree in Mathematics.
The Georgia Institute of Technology is now authorized to offer Ph.D. programs in ten fields.
GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE
In December 1961 the Board approved the request of the Georgia State College that it be authorized to offer graduate programs leading to the master's degree in the following fields:
(a) Master of Arts degree with majors in English, History, and Political Science.
(b) Master of Arts degree for Teachers. (c) Master of Business Education. The Georgia State College was also authorized to offer courses of study designed to prepare certified elementary and secondary school teachers to become certified school librarians. At its meeting in December 1961 the Board also approved in principle the recommendation of President Noah Langdale, Jr. that the Georgia State College be authorized to inaugurate, effective with the beginning of the Fall Quarter of 1962, a Division of General Studies.
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA
In November 1961 the Regents authorized the Medical College of Georgia to offer, beginning in the Fall of 1962, a program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Record Library Science.
WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE
During the past year the West Georgia College was authorized to offer programs of work leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in Sociology and Chemistry.
GEORGIA SouTHERN CoLLEGE
During 1961-62 the Board of Regents authorized the Georgia Southern
25
College to establish new programs leading to the following degrees: (a) Bachelor of Arts with -a major iTt French. (b) Bachelor of Science with a major in Industry. (c) Master of Arts with a major in History. (d) Master of Education with majors in Mathematics and Educational Administration. (e) Sixth-year programs with majors in English, Science, and Social s~ience as teaching fields.
VALDOSTA STATE COLLEGE
The Valdosta State College was given permission to offer work leading to the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Modern Foreign Languages for secondary school teachers.
ALBANY STATE COLLEGE
The Albany State College was authorized, beginning in September 1961, to offer a program leading to the Bachelor of S:::ience degree in Nursing.
In November 1961 the Board of Regents authorized the Albany State College to offer, beginning in 1962, programs leading to the following degrees:
(a) Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in French and Spanish. (b) Bachelor of Science degree with majors in Chemistry and Mathe-
matics. (c) Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education with majors
in English and Foreign Languages as teaching fields.
FoRT VALLEY STATE CoLLEGE
The Fort Valley State College was authorized to offer, beginning in September 1962, a program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Business Administration.
MIDDLE GEORGIA COLLEGE
The Board authorized the Middle Georgia College to offer, beginning in September 1962, a two-year terminal program in Drafting and Surveying.
GROWING EMPHASIS ON GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Perhaps some of those interested in the work of the University System would like to know that some of the institutions are striving to develop strong programs of graduate work in certain fields.
26
During recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of graduate students in those institutions o.f the System that offer programs of graduate work. The percentage increase in the number of candidates for the master's degree is far greater than the percentage increase in candidates for bachelor's degrees. Only a little more than twenty years ago the University of Georgia was the only institution in the System that was even making plans for the offering of a doctoral program.
In 1962 the University was offering programs leading to a Ph.D. degree in seventeen separate and distinct fields. It was also offering programs leading to the degree of Doctor of Education with majors in each of several fields.
The Georgia Institute of Technology is now authorized to offer work leading to the Ph.D. degree in ten major fields. The Georgia State College was recently granted the authority to develop programs leading to the degree of Doctor of Business Administration. For several years the Georgia State College has been offering master's degree programs in various fields of Business Administration. Master's degree programs in certain fields of the Arts and Sciences were added during 1961-62. More recently The Woman's College of Georgia, the Georgia Southern College, and the Fort Valley State College have been granted permission to offer work leading to master's degrees in certain phases of teacher education. During the past year the Georgia Southern College was authorized to offer a master's degree program in one Arts and Sciences field.
In the Fall Quarter of 1961 the University of Georgia had in its student body 80 candidates for the Ph.D. degree, 25 candidates for the degree of Doctor of Education, and 709 candidates for master's degrees.
In the same quarter the Georgia Institute of Technology had 115 candidates for Ph.D. degrees and 415 candidates for master's degrees.
In the Fall Quarter of 1961 the Georgia State College had I 06 Candidates for master's degrees.
CONFERENCES AND SEMINARS ON AMERICANISM-COMMUNISM
Members of the Committee on Education of the Board of Regents and other members of the Board have for a long time been concerned about the insidious designs of Communism and about the plans that it has for undermining the free institutions of democratic nations. The Regents have felt that students in University System institutions and in the public schools and other citizens should be given a clear understanding of the
27
dangers of Communism and that they should be made more able to cope with this enemy of our democratic-way of life.
With these thoughts in mind, the Regents asked the University of Georgia to sponsor a conference on Higher Education in a World of Conflict. This conference was held at the Continuing Education Center of the University of Georgia on September 6, 7, and 8, 1961. Regent Morris M. Bryan, Jr. and Regent Howard H. Callaway promoted the idea of such a conference and they were very active in making plans for the conference. Dr. George Parthemos of the University faculty was Chairman of a University committee that handled the details of the meeting. It was the opinion of all who attended the conference that the program was very thought-provoking and that it was outstanding in every respect.
The Athens conference was so successful that the Regents, under the leadership of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Callaway, decided to sponsor a second meeting. This meeting took the form of a Seminar on American Strategy. It was held at the Biltmore Hotel in Atlanta on January 16, 1962. Present at this meeting were outstanding leaders of the State and the nation and citizens from all walks of life. This second meeting was equally as successful as the first and the speeches and discussions were given wide publicity.
As a follow-up to the conferences, the Regents decided to ask certain institutions of the University System to conduct during the summer of 1962 seminars for teachers in the public schools. The object of these seminars was to make public school teachers in the fields of the Social Sciences better acquainted with the dangers and threats of Communism and to give them a more complete understanding of how the fundamental principles of Americanism could be utilized to overcome these dangers and threats. It was expected, of course, that the teachers attending the summer seminars would go back home better prepared to offer their students instruction on some of the great issues with which the modern world is faced.
During the summer of 1962 seminars on Americanism-Communism were conducted for teachers by the University of Georgia, the Georgia State ~ollege, the West Georgia College, the Georgia Southern College, and the Fort Valley State College. The programs of the seminars were enthusiastically received and there is a strong demand for their continuance. These seminars will be conducted again during the summer of 1963.

PROGRAM OF TESTING, GUIDANCE, AND COUNSELING
During 1961-62 the Board of Regerits...and the institutions of the University System have continued to strive to develop outstanding programs of testing, guidance, and counseling. Applicants for admission to institutions of the University System 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. Counselors are trying to assist students in choosing programs of study in which they have special interests and for which they have special aptitudes. The counselors are trying diligently to assist each student to reach the highest level of achievement of which he is capable.
Dr. John R. Hills has been Director of the University System Office of Testing and Guidance since August 1958. He has associated with him some very able staff workers. Dr. Hills has submitted the following report on the work and activities of his office during the past year:
'The year 1961-62 has seen two major developments in the Office of Testing and Guidance. First, the copy has been completed for a comprehensive (over 100 page) description of financial aid and educational opportunities in the University System. Dr. Downs, Associate Director of Testing and Guidance, who compiled these data, has provided an index to all programs of study in System colleges so that a counselor, parent, or prospective student can find which institutions offer various curricula without going through twenty college catalogs. Detailed information about the available scholarships, loans, and jobs, the kinds of students receiving these aids, and the amounts of money awarded is also provided. It appears that the financial aid administered each year by System colleges amounts to well over $2,500,000.00. One institution, by itself, apparently administers well over a million dollars a year in financial aid, while another has available only on the order of $25,000.00, so wide disparities exist. This monograph will be distributed to all high school counselors early in the next fiscal year.
'The second major development has been a reorganization due to turnover of staff. During the year both of the Office's Research Assistants resigned in order to accompany their husbands to other states. Subsequently, a new professional-level position was created, Supervisor of Research and Statistical Operations, and was filled by Mr. Joseph A. Klock, who is finishing his master's degree in psychology at Arizona State University. Mr. Klock brings to the position a much more advanced level of training than has been available at the data processing level in this Office heretofore. While the loss of two trained people at once has
29
seriously delayed research, the reorganization should overcome this handicap during the coming fiscal year. .Mrs. Sandra Lewis, a psychology graduate from Wesleyan, is Mr. Klock's new Research Assistant.
"One major conference was held this year. Dr. C. Gilbert Wrenn, of the University of Minnesota, devoted an entire day to speaking to student personnel workers and discussing with them the problems and future of student personnel services at the college level. The response to this conference was so favorable that more like it will be planned as opportunities arise.
"This year for the first time it has been possible to study the students entering the System institutions as freshmen and continuing through four years of college. During this year and continuing into next year, studies over the four-year period from Fall 1957 to Spring 1961 are being conducted for each System college. Early data indicate that cumulative average grade at the time of graduation can often be predicted with surprising accuracy from data available before admission as freshmen. Also, the data so far studied seem to indicate that only about 40% of entering freshmen continue in uninterrupted attendance through the full two- or four-year period of a college course. The 'typical student', then, is either erratic in enrollment, drops out before completing his course, or transfers to another institution. Considering the System as a whole, it appears that while enrollment has increased greatly from Fall 1957 to Fall 1961, the level of aptitude of students, on the average, has also risen. Thus increased enrollments are not a result of lowered standards of student quality.
"Less extensive studies at various System colleges have been assisted through the Office. One revealed that overcrowding of dormitories and overflow into the community had no appreciable effect on grades obtained in one college. At another college, study showed that little over-all improvement in predicting first-year grades could be obtained by incorporating identification of the applicant's high school with his College Board scores and his high school grades. A third such study indicated the appropriateness of different admissions procedures for different academic programs within a single institution. Studies of this sort will continue to be conducted and assisted at every available opportunity."
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NEGRO STUDENTS
During 1961-62 the Board of Regents continued its policy of making scholarships available to Negro students for the purpose of enabling them to secure in institutions outside the University System graduate and pro-
30
fessional work that is offered in University System institutions for white students but that is not offeree!_ in Unive.!sity System institutions for Negro students. The scholarship aid takes care of the difference between the cost of attending a University System institution and the cost of attending the institution in which the student decides to study.
In the past year scholarship grants were made to 1,425 students. The various recipients of the scholarships took graduate work at 8 I colleges and universities. With the exception of Atlanta University, all of the institutions were located outside the State of Georgia.
The recipients of scholarships during the past year took work in some one of 34 major fields. The area in which most of the students did their major work was Education. In this field there were 925 students majoring in 17 different areas of concentration.
The number of scholarship recipients declined from I ,50 I in !960-61 to 1,425 in 1961-62. The cost of the program dropped from $267,003.88 in 1960-61 to $236,124.73 in 1961-62. This is the second consecutive year in which there has been a decline in cost. The decline is attributable to two circumstances. First, during 1961-62 the number of students receiving aid was smaller than the number receiving aid during the preceding year. Secondly, increases in matriculation fees in University System institutions reduced the difference between fees in the University System and fees in institutions outside the System. This difference in fees is one of the items covered by a scholarship grant.
Applications received from 118 students were not approved. Most of these students were seeking scholarships that would enable them to do graduate work in Elementary Education or in Guidance and Counseling. Since the Fort Valley State College now offers graduate programs in both of these fields, scholarships are not granted for study in these fields at other institutions.
REGIONAL EDUCATION BOARD
The contractual relationships between the Board of Regents and the
Southern Regional Education Board were continued during the past
year. The Board of Regents paid to the Regional Board a total amount
of $65,000.00 for the following purposes:
For operation of the Regional Board
$15,000.00
For research program in Mental Health
8,000.00
For 16 students at Meharry Medical College For 4 students in Veterinary Medicine
36,000.00
at Tuskegee Institute
6,000.00
Total
$65,000.00
31
As compared with the figures for the preceding year, there was an increase of $5,000.00 in the .item for tlle operation of the Regional Board. There was a decrease of four in the number of Georgia students enrolled at the Meharry Medical College and a reduction of $9,000.00 in payments to that institution. The enrollment of Georgia students in Veterinary Medicine at Tuskegee Institute declined from six to four and this resulted in a reduction of $3,000.00 in payments to the Tuskegee Institute.
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 1961-62 the University of Georgia received under the contract with the Regional Board the sum of $189,750.00 for providing instructional services for 127 students from these four states.
RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS
The scope of the research programs in various institutions of the University System continues to increase and the quality of these programs continues to improve. Some type of research work was being carried on in practically every institution during 1961-62. The major programs of research work were carried on in the larger institutions with organized divisions of research.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The University's research program is conducted by a number of agencies within the University. The program of general research is carried on under the supervision of a Director of General Research who is also an Associate Dean of the Graduate School. The program of agricultural research is conducted in Agricultural Experiment Stations in various parts of the State. Each station has a Director and the Station Directors report to the Director of Agricultural Research whose office is at the College of Agriculture in Athens. Many programs of specialized research are conducted by various bureaus and institutes within the University.
The Annual Report of the University of Georgia describes in considerable detail the nature and the scope of the various research programs of the University. Only a brief summary of the research activities can be given in this report.
GENERAL RESEARCH
During 1961-62 one hundred and twenty-nine faculty members were
32
engaged in some form of general research. The number of faculty members participating in gener.al research.. was eighteen more than the number of participants during 1960-61.
During 1961-62 the University received seventy-five new research grants for the support of general research work. Some of these grants will be paid over a period of more than one year. The amount of grant funds actually budgeted during 1961-62 was $1 ,354,300.00. The University uses some of its State funds for the support of general research. The University's total expenditures for general research during 1961-62 amounted to $1,661,285.06.
During the past year members of the faculty of the University produced 444 papers dealing with the results of their research studies. Of this number, 189 were published during the year and 124 were in press at the end of the year. In addition to the papers prepared for publication, University faculty members presented 131 papers before professional organizations and scientific societies throughout the United States and in a few foreign countries.
BUREAUS AND INSTITUTES
The Institute of Law and Government, which is an integral part of the School of Law, had an unusually busy and successful year. The Institute worked with a committee of the General Assembly on certain revisions of the criminal laws of the State. Under a contract with a federal agency it made a study of the water laws of several southeastern states. It conducted studies in the fields of taxation and governmental budgetary operations. It conducted sixteen workshops, seminars, and short courses.
The Bureau of Educational Studies and Field Services of the College of Education continued to study problems related to education at all age levels and to counsel and advise with officials and teachers in school systems throughout Georgia. The Bureau of Business Research of the College of Business Administration expanded the scope of its work dealing with studies and analyses of business and financial conditions and trends in Georgia.
The Institute of Community and Area Development, which began operation on July 1, 1961, found that there was a great demand for its services in many parts of the State. The Institute provided consultative and technical assistance for 91 counties and seven area development groups on such matters as governmental reorganization, expansion of employment opportunities, landscape development, and community and area planning.
33
Valuable research work was carried on by the Marine Institute on Sapelo Island, by the Institute _of Statisti_s, by the Radio-Ecology Institute, and by other specialized research agencies of the University.
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
The agricultural research program of the University is carried on through three main experiment stations, five branch stations, and several field stations. The programs of the various stations are coordinated through the office of the Director of Agricultural Research of the College of Agriculture.
The agricultural research program is financed with income received from the State, from the federal government, from gifts and grants, from income derived from sales and services, and from other miscellaneous sources. During 1961-62 the Agricultural Experiment Stations received income in a total amount of $4,764,624.69. Of this amount $2,037,000.00 came from the State, $1,016,255.00 from the federal government, $624,572.18 from gifts, grants, and endowment, and $1,068,504.50 from sales and services. The total expenditures of the Agricultural Experiment Stations during the year amounted to $4,5 81 ,983.76.
During 1961-62 more than 200 professional employees of the Agricultural Experiment Stations worked on more than 400 agricultural research projects. These studies covered every phase of the farming, livestock, and poultry work of the State and touched upon the processing, marketing, industrial and economic activities of Georgia. Detailed descriptions of the various projects will be found in the annual reports of the Experiment Stations.
The research studies in the Agricultural Experiment Stations resulted in the preparation of many reports and papers. Some of these reports and papers were published. For instance, the publications during 196162 included 63 bulletins and circulars, 71 numbered journal articles and 165 unnumbered articles in professional and popular publications. The members of the staffs of the Experiment Stations prepared many papers for presentation before scientific and professional groups.
The workers in the Experiment Stations make many speeches before civic and community organizations. They appear regularly on various radio and television programs. They judge fairs and exhibits. They conduct short courses at the Stations and at various other places in the State. During 1961-62 they continued to make diagnoses of the diseases of plant and animals and they tested more than 50,000 samples of soil for the farmers of the State. The employees of the Experiment Stations
34
are concerned with almost every phase of the life of the farming and rural sections and with many phases of the., business and industrial life of the State.
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Since 1959 the Georgia Institute of Technology has set up in its budget funds for academic research. These funds are used to support the basic research work of faculty members in the instructional departments.
Some State funds are set aside for the support of the academic research programs and these funds are augmented by the proceeds of grants received from various agencies of the federal government and from private foundations. Expenditures for academic research during the 1961-62 fiscal year amounted to $427,170.56.
The bulk of the research work at the Georgia Institute of Technology is handled by the Engineering Experiment Station and its various divisions. During the past year the staff of the Engineering Experiment Station worked on 357 separate and distinct projects. Of this number, 94 projects were financed by business and industrial concerns, 149 through contracts or grants from agencies of the federal government, and 2 I through contracts with the State or municipalities. There were 61 projects that were financed with funds made available by the Board of Regents, and 21 with funds from other sources.
During 1961-62 the Engineering Experiment Station had a total income of $3,855,000.00, of which amount $817,000.00 came under regular or special allocations from the State. The total income of the Station during 1961-62 was approximately $200,000.00 less than it was during the preceding year.
During 1961-62 there were 149 publications by members of the faculty and staff of the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Engineering Experiment Station. There were nine additional publications by members of the faculty of the Southern Technical Institute. Lists of these publications are contained in the Annual Report of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Two of the more significant happenings in the Engineering Experiment Station during the past year were the completion, for all practical purposes, of the new Nuclear Research Center and the setting up within the Station of a Division of Nuclear Sciences.
The Annual Report of the Director of the Engineering Experiment Station points out the urgent need of the Station for additional building facilities and the need of every division of the Station for sizeable amounts of new equipment.
35
Mention should be made of the fact that in August 1962 Dr. James E. Boyd resigned from the position of DiJOector of the Engineering Experiment Station so that he could accept the presidency of the West Georgia College. Dr. Boyd had served in the Experiment Station for many years and had been Director since 1958.
Dr. R. E. Stiemke was named as the Successor to Dr. Boyd. Dr. Stiemke had been Professor of Civil Engineering and Director of the School of Civil Engineering at Georgia Tech since 1950. Dr. Stiemke, as Director of the Station, is faced with a number of difficult problems. We are confident that he will be able to find a solution to these problems and that the Station, under his leadership, will continue to grow in usefulness to the State of Georgia.
GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE
Practically every department in the Georgia State College was engaged in some type of research work during 1961-62. Some of this work was conducted under the direction and supervision of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research. Other research projects were handled by faculty members individually. Several books and many booklets, pamphlets, bulletins, and book reviews were published by members of the faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences. In the School of Business Administration two-thirds of the faculty members were doing research work and they produced a number of books, articles, and research papers that have been published. There were 108 publications by faculty members in the School of Business Administration during the year.
The College again received from outside sources grants for the support of research projects. The College allotted some of its own funds for the support of research. During the year the College spent $120,592.83 for research purposes. This figure does not reflect the value of research work that was done by faculty members whose entire salaries were paid from the instructional budgets.
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA
The research program of the Medical College of Georgia continues to expand. During 1961-62 ninety members of the faculty were engaged in research. In addition to the faculty, an equal number of residents, students, and staff participated in the research activity.
The departmental chairmen list 207 research projects under way or completed during the year.
The faculty, residents, and students, and technical staff published 165
36
articles in scientific or medical journals. Faculty members were the authors or co-authors of six books. Thrt.le movies and ten exhibits depicting research results were prepared during the year.
For the support of its research program the Medical College receives many grants from agencies of the federal government, from foundations, associations, and pharmaceutical firms. During I 961-62 the expenditures of the Medical College for research amounted to $I,083,963.14. This is an increase of more than $300,000.00 over the preceding year.
RESEARCH WORK AT OTHER COLLEGES
During the past year fourteen members of the faculty of the West Georgia College have been doing some research work. Some of these research studies have been published. The West Georgia College received a grant of $3,000.00 from the Sears-Roebuck Foundation for the support of a research project entitled "A Pilot Experiment in the Social Sciences".
At the North Georgia College a faculty member of the Department of Biology and a faculty member of the Department of Physics were working on three research projects. A member of the Department of Social Sciences was the author of an article that was published in the May I962 issue of Tradition.
Several members of the faculty of The Woman's College of Georgia were doing research work during the past year. A few grants were received for the support of the research program. One of these grants was in the amount of $3,240.00 and it was made by the Atomic Energy Commission for the purchase of equipment for use in research studies in a nuclear science program. During I 961-62 there were publications of twelve research studies that were completed by six members of the faculty. Several other studies by faculty members were in the press at the end of the year.
The Georgia Southern College reports that it has a very active Faculty Research Committee and that several members of the faculty are working on research projects. One member of the faculty continues to do some very outstanding research work for the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
The Valdosta State College reports that it has four faculty members who have been doing research work during the past year. Three articles by these faculty members were published during I 96 I-62 and three additional articles are ready for publication. President Thaxton says that it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to secure the services of good scholars unless he can promise them that they will have an opportunity
37
to do some research work in addition to the performance of their teaching duties.
At the Albany State College five faculty members were engaged in some form of research work during the year. These five faculty members -individually or jointly-produced five research studies that were published.
The Fort Valley State College reports the publication of one book and twenty articles by members of the staff and faculty of the College. Eight other members of the Staff and faculty were working on research projects.
During 1961-62 seven articles by faculty members of the Savannah State College were published in various journals and bulletins. One faculty member was the author of four of these articles. The December 1961 issue of The Faculty Research Edition of the Savannah State College Bulletin carried eleven articles that were written by members of the faculty.
At the Georgia Southwestern College four faculty members were doing some research work. Two of these faculty members are members of the staff of the Charles L. Mix Memorial Fund, Incorporated and they hold courtesy faculty appointments. Their research studies were in the field of mental health. The other two faculty members were doing research to satisfy part of the requirements for doctor's degrees.
Two formal research studies were being conducted by the faculty members of the Augusta College. Various other faculty members were participating in the Institutional Self-Study project.
President L. E. Roberts of the Middle Georgia College was the author of an article on "Educational Reform in Ante-Bellum Georgia" that was published in the Spring 1962 issue of The Georgia Review. He is now working on two other research studies that should be ready for publication within eighteen months.
Three faculty members of the Columbus College completed the writing of their master's theses during the year. Another faculty member produced an article that was published in Southern Folklore. The College itself sponsored five research studies during the year. Two of these have been completed and three are still under way.
The South Georgia College reports that none of its faculty members was engaged in research work except work of a type that is designed to meet the requirements for higher degrees.
At the Armstong College six faculty members were engaged in scholarly research work that should lead to the publication of articles of considerable interest.
An Associate Professor of Forestry at the Abraham Baldwin College
38
wrote for publication during the year two forestry research papers. The Librarian wrote seven book reviews and tW'tl articles.
LIBRARIES
During the past ten or eleven years the library facilities of practically every institution in the University System have been enlarged and improved. Completely new buildings have been constructed at a number of institutions and library annexes have been built at other institutions.
During 1961-62 the policy of strengthening the institutional libraries continued. In the past year a new library building was completed on the campus of the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College at a cost of $269,910.00. A new library building is now being constructed at the Medical College in Augusta. The estimated cost of this building is $631,710.00. A library and classroom building is being erected at the Georgia Southwestern College at a cost of $342,018.00. An annex to the library of the Fort Valley State College is being constructed at an estimated cost of $335,793.00.
In 1961-62 the teaching institutions of the University System spent $1,706,133.80 for the operation of their libraries. This figure does not include $9,733.47 that was expended by the Southern Technical Institute, a division of the Georgia Institute of Technology. The Agricultural Experiment Stations at Griffin and Tifton spent an additional sum of $32,278.35 for library operations. Total expenditures for library operations, therefore, came to $1,748,145.62. Operational expenditures cover personal services, books, bindings, and supplies.
During the past year a total of 119,596 books were added to the institutional libraries. The number of books added during 1961-62 was approximately 46,000 in excess of the number added during the preceding year. The total number of volumes in University System libraries on June 30, 1962, including 31,191 volumes in libraries of the Agricultural Experiment Stations, was I ,429,050. This figure represents bound volumes and it does not include technical reports, government documents, maps, slides, recordings, etc.
Practically every institution reports an increase in the use of its library by students and faculty members. Most of the institutions now have open stacks and no record is kept of the use of books in the library. For this reason, it is almost impossible to secure complete and accurate figures on the increased circulation of books within the library. Figures on the number of books taken and used outside the libraries continue to increase at a very rapid rate.
The following table presents figures showing the number of volumes
39
added to each library during 1961-62 and the total number of volumes in the library of each instituticm on June'"'30, 1962. The third column shows the total expenditures made by each institution for library purposes and the fourth column indicates the per student expenditure at each institution.

PUBLIC SERVICES
Advances in knowledge and new developments arc taking place so rapidly in the world about us that the person who does not keep abreast of these changes is soon out of touch with the latest thoughts and the most approved practices in his field of endeavor. For this reason professional workers, leaders in business and industry, and workers in many fields find it both desirable and necessary, from time to time, to secure information about progress that is being made in their respective fields.
Many agencies strive to keep various segments of the population informed concerning the new inventions, the new discoveries, and the new philosophies that affect so vitally the work and the lives of our people. It is probable that, in this field, our colleges and universities, through
40
their comprehensive programs of public service, are doing more effective work than agencies of any other type.
The institutions of the University System are trying to help our citizens meet the challenges of the present and future by offering non-credit instructional programs of various types. These non-credit programs consist, to a considerable extent, of institutes, short courses, and conferences that are offered for groups of people. The non-credit programs of instruction also include the personal conferences and consultations that staff members of the institutions have with individual citizens of the State. A county agent who tells a farmer about new and improved agricultural practices is offering a form of instruction as a public service.
The University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology have organizations for conducting comprehensive programs of public service. Other institutions have only limited staffs for this type of work and, consequently, their programs in this field are not nearly so broad.
Some brief comments will be made on the public service activities of the institutions.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The University of Georgia's programs of public service are conducted through the Continuing Education Center, the Agricultural Extension Service, and other agencies within the University.
THE CoNTINUING EDUCATION CENTER. The Continuing Education Center conducts off-campus centers in various parts of the State and it offers extension classes and correspondence courses in localities that are not served by off-campus centers. The student enrollments in these programs that carry academic credit are set forth in the section of this report that is headed Students.
The Continuing Education Center conducts on the campus in Athens many conferences and institutes for various groups of adult citizens of the State. During 1961-62 approximately six hundred meetings of this sort were held. These conferences and institutes were attended by 35,626 adults. This attendance figure represents a 65% increase over the corresponding figure for the preceding year. The 1961-62 figures indicate that 16,386 persons part~cipated in programs that lasted for one day or less and that 19,240 persons were enrolled in programs that lasted for longer periods of time.
Ten schools and colleges of the University served with the Continuing Education Center as co-sponsors of most of the conferences and institutes. The Georgia Center conducted 21 programs without co-sponsorship by a school or college. At these conferences there were discussions
41
of such matters as means for raising the educational level of our people, for improving the competence -of governmental officials, for increasing the participation of citizens in the civic and political life of the State, and for the development of better cultural, recreational and health programs.
The Continuing Education Center also provided many off-campus services for the citizens of the State. The Drama Loan Library circulated 1,743 plays in 115 Georgia communities. Two new traveling exhibitions of twenty paintings each were shown in thirty-five communities.
During its second year of operation Television Station WGTV strengthened its programming and was granted regional and national recognition by awards and by requests for national distribution of locallyproduced programs. WGTV programmed 1040 hours of evening service for adults and, in cooperation with the State Department of Education, offered 720 hours of day time instructional programs for elementary and secondary schools. Conservative estimates based on partial surveys indicate that WGTV is reaching viewers in 50,314 homes regularly and in an additional 94,565 homes occasionally.
Beginning in January 1962 the University assumed responsibility for production, selection, and administration of evening programming on WKGA-TV, the newly-established station in Waycross that is owned by the State Department of Education.
The Film Production Unit of the Communications Division of the Continuing Education Center completed several educational films for use on the local television stations and also for national distribution.
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE. The Cooperative Extension Service of the College of Agriculture extends the work of the University of Georgia in agriculture, home economics and youth development to all the citizens of the State. Its work is dedicated to the development of all resources, both human and physical. Constant efforts are being made to adjust the programs of the Extension Service to meet changing economic and social conditions and to take care of the situations that develop as a result of the centralization of population around urban centers.
Through its staffs of county agents and home demonstration agents the Extension Service conducts a great variety of programs for farmers, for homemakers, for boys and girls, and for other citizens who are interested in various phases of community development.
During 1961-62 county agents, home demonstration agents, and their associates made more than 223,000 visits to farms and homes within the State. They received more than 325,000 telephone calls from citizens seeking information about various phases of agriculture and home economics and they received approximately 510,000 office visitors. They
42
conducted 6, 144 training meetings for local civic leaders who assisted with the carrying out of the Extension Service programs in their respective counties. The county staffs of the Extension Service also conducted 63,889 other meetings that were attended by nearly 2,5 I9,000 men, women, and young people.
During 1961-62, 32,5 I6 women were enrolled in the State's 1,505 Home Demonstration Clubs. There were 148,813 young people enrolled in 4-H Club programs. The 4-H Club membership was the largest in the history of Georgia and is probably larger than that of any other State. Thirty-nine per cent of the 4-H Club members come from rural homes, 27 per cent from rural non-farm homes, and 34 per cent from urban homes. Members of Georgia 4-H Clubs received many honors and recognitions at the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago.
The Agricultural Extension Service must rely heavily on mass communication methods for reaching many of the people of the State. The Service conducts many radio and television programs. During the past year members of the staff published 65 books, bulletins, and circulars that were given wide distribution through the State. Sixty-nine articles written by members of the staff appeared in farm journals and magazines. Innumerable short articles were prepared for publication in newspapers.
All available statistics indicate that Georgia has made wonderful progress in the development of its agricultural programs during recent years. Much of the credit for this progress must be given to the dedicated workers of the Agricultural Extension Service.
The program of the Agricultural Extension Service is supported with funds received from the State, the federal government, and the counties. During 1961-62 the Board of Regents provided State funds in the amount of $1,820,000.00 for the Extension Service. The total income of the Extension Service from all sources was $5,734,723.91. Total expenditures for operations during I961-62 amounted to $5,713,513.99. Expenditures for 1961-62 operations were $354,076.60 higher than they were for the preceding year.
OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES OF THE UNIVERSITY
The Georgia Review, with a circulation of about 2,000, continues to be one of the really fine literary quarterlies in the South. During 196 I62 the total number of manuscripts submitted to the REVIEW was 2,729. The REVIEW published 31 articles, 10 short stories, 21 poems, and 17 book reviews.
The University Press continues to have a highly successful operation. During the past year the Press released 13 books. Eight of these books
43
were written by authors or editors with University of Georgia connections. Five of the books were 1n the field- of history, three in language and literature, two in political science, one in science, one in education, and one in economics and business.
The Georgia Museum of Art is receiving increasingly favorable attention. In addition to the twelve valuable Rennaissance paintings that the Museum received from the Kress Foundation just before the beginning of the 1961-62 year, the Museum has received during the past year 35 or more paintings and other works of art. It has also received a number of books. With funds contributed by the patrons of the Museum, the Museum has been able to purchase fifteen additional etchings, woodcuts, and lithographs. The Museum held 33 special exhibitions during the year. The number of visitors to the Museum is increasing steadily.
In addition to its program of research and publications, the Institute of Law and Government, in cooperation with the Center for Continuing Education, conducted 16 institutes, conferences, and seminars for attorneys and officials of the State and local governments. This is the most extensive program of courses that the Institute has undertaken to offer in any one year.
The School of Journalism conducted, in addition to its regular instructional programs, conferences and institutes for editors, radio and television broadcasters, advertisers, and those engaged in many fields of public relations work. Eight of these conferences and institutes were held during 1961-62. The annual meeting of the Georgia Press Institute was the 34th that has been held since its establishment. This Institute has come to be recognized as the outstanding highlight of the year for newspaper editors.
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The Engineering Extension Division of the Georgia Institute of Technology is in charge of the operations of the Evening School and the S:::>uthern Technical Institute. It also conducts programs of short courses both on the campus in Atlanta and at other places in the State.
The Evening School and the Southern Technicallnstitu!e offer courses of study for which academic credit is given. Figures on enrollments in courses carrying academic credit are set forth in the section on Students. The Extension Division conducts several programs of work for which no credit toward a degree is given. These programs will be discussed briefly in this section.
The Department of Short Courses and Conferences is gradually expanding its program. During 1961-62 it conducted 53 short courses and
44
conference programs. This was an increase of 20 over the preceding year. The Department is planning to conduct from 75 to 80 short courses and conferences during 1962-63. The number of subject matter areas covered by the conferences and short courses is also increasing.
Various industrial areas in the State are asking that short course programs be held within commuting distances of their people. During the past year programs were conducted in Macon, Warner Robins, Tifton, Savannah, Gainesville, and other places. It now seems likely that the offcampus program will expand rapidly.
The Extension Division's Department of Industrial Education, in cooperation with the Technical Education Committee of the Textile Education Foundation, continued to offer programs for the training of textile employees. During the year I 92 classes were conducted for a total of 2,540 employees in 33 textile plants. The Department of Industrial Education also conducted 31 supervision and management classes in textile plants.
The Department of Industrial Education, in cooperation with the Georgia Fire Institute, went forward with its programs for the training of men for work in fire departments throughout the State. Classes were conducted in many towns and cities. The enrollment in these programs was slightly less than it was during the preceding year.
OTHER INSTITUTIONS
The institutions of the University System, other than the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology, have few organized programs of public service. This does not mean, however, that these institutions do not provide public services of real 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 in the work of civic, professional, and religious organizations. They are called upon constantly to make speeches before civic and community groups. They serve as consultants to public schools and serve as judges in many types of competitive events. They hold positions of leadership in national, regional, and State educational organizations. The citizens of the State come to the campuses of the institutions of the University 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.
Since all institutions provide services of the type mentioned above,
45
specific mention will be made of only a few institutions whose programs possess some special features ..
The Georgia State College has worked very closely with many business and industrial organizations in the Atlanta area. Members of the faculty and staff have established particularly fine working relationships with representatives of insurance and real estate organizations. A great deal of consultative and research work has been done for private companies. The ATLANTA EcoNOMIC REVIEW, which is published monthly by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research, provides an excellent and very helpful service for business concerns in the Atlanta area and throughout the State.
The School of Medicine of the Medical College conducted on its campus six short courses for a total enrollment of 225 medical doctors. It conducted off-campus programs at Statesboro, Perry, Dalton, and Thomasville for a total enrollment of 120. The School of Nursing of the Medical College also conducted one short course.
The West Georgia College conducted five short courses on the campus with an average attendance of 90 persons per course. It also continued the program of the "College in the Country" by conducting three short courses off the campus. The College conducted three institutes dealing primarily with educational problems. The average attendance in the institutes was 40 persons per session. The West Georgia College also conducted 11 studycades with a total of 322 participants.

FINANCES
There is set forth in this report a brief statement regarding the financial operations of the University System and its institutions during the 1961-62 fiscal year. A more detailed and complete description of these operations will be found in the Report of the Treasurer of the Board of Regents.
INCOME OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
During the 1961-62 fiscal year the University System received from the State under the General Appropriations Act of 1961 the sum of $33,385,000.00. Of this amount, $3,500,000.00 was earmarked by the General Assembly for the operation of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital.
During the past fiscal year the University System received an additional $690,750.00 from the State under executive orders of the Governor. The Governor transferred to the Board of Regents the sum of $590,750.00 to cover a part of the cost of the Coliseum building that is to be erected on the campus of the University of Georgia. He transferred to the Regents an additional $100,000.00 for the support of the Industrial Development Division of the Engineering Experiment Station at Georgia Tech.
The total amount of State funds received by the Board of Regents during 1961-62 was $34,075,750.00.
In addition to funds received from the State during 1961-62, the University System had sums that were brought forward from the preceding year. The University System and its institutions also received income from student fees, gifts, endowments, sales, services, and govern-
47
mental sources other than State appropriations. The following statement shows the sources and the amounts of alol funds available for operations and for other purposes during the 1961-62 fiscal year.

During 1961-62 expenditures for educational and general purposes amounted to $52,478,707.78. This was $5,358,879.92 in excess of the amount spent for similar purposes during the preceding year.
Among the larger increases in expenditures during 1961-62 were $1,941,317.75 for Instruction and $1,287,474.25 for Research. The increase in the Research item is attributable largely to higher expenditures for agricultural and general research at the University of Georgia and to increased expenditures for general research at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Georgia State College, and the Medical College of Georgia. Expenditures for Agricultural Extension were $354,076.60 higher during 1961-62 than they were in 1960-61 and the increase for General Extension and Public Services was $532,577.04. New buildings that were used for the first time during 1961-62 were largely responsible for an increase of $628,241.33 in expenditures for Plant Operations.
The figures in the next table show the percentage of the total expenditures that was used for each of the several divisions of the educational and general program during 1960-61 and 1961-62. It is apparent that the percentages for both years were practically the same.

Most of the institutions of the University System conduct classes during the summer as well as during the. r~i:gular academic year. Some institutions offer instruction during 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 students of all types in each institution and divided this number by 50. The figure 50 represents the approximate average number of quarter credit hours that a full-time student in the University System earns during an academic year of three quarters. The figures in the last column, which show the amount of State funds allotted for the offering of 50 quarter credit hours in each of the institutions of the University System, provide an accurate basis for the comparison of costs.
The preceding table indicates that there is a wide variation in the amounts of State funds that the institutions receive on a per student basis. These variations result largely from differences in the nature and level of instructional programs, and from differences in the internal income situations in the institutions. The Regents try to provide each institution with an allocation that, when added to the institution's internal income, will enable the institution to discharge 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 54 and 55 of this report indicates the sources from which each institution received income and the amount of income derived from each source.

The table set forth above takes into consideration not only State income, but also 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 figures presented in the table do not afford a basis for an altogether accurate comparison of the percentage of income received by institutions from fees and of the percentage of income derived from the State for instructional costs. Mr. Blissit, the Treasurer of the Board of Regents, has, therefore, prepared a second table in which items of income for noninstructional purposes have been elimin~ted. The table that follows shows the percentage of institutional income for instruction that is derived from the State, the percentage of income for instruction that is dervied from student fees, and the percentage of income for instruction
that comes from other sources.

For a number of years the percentages of institutional incomes from State appropriations have been increasing and the percentages of income from student fees have been declining. This was due to the fact that State income increased at a more rapid rate than fee income. In 196162, for the first time in several years, the percentages of income from student fees increased while, in most institutions, the percentage of income from the State decreased. This reversal in trend was attributable larg~ly to increases in the rates of matriculation fees and to the additional fee income that such increased rates produced.
EXPENDITURES BY INSTITUTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
There is set forth on pages 58 and 59 of this report a statement that shows 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.

The next table shows the percentage of each ins,titution's total expenditures that was used for each. of the se..veral purposes indicated. The figures do not reflect expenditures for research, extension, and other purposes not common to most institutions.
The variations in the percentages shown result from differences in the sizes of institutions, from variations in instructional services and other services provided for students, and from differences in types and conditions of physical plants.

EXPENDITURES PER STUDENT IN TERMS OF DoLLARS
The figures that are set forth in the next table 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 that is 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-or one academic year. From these computations expenditures for operating laboratory and practice schools, for providing clinical facilities for medical students, and other expenditures not common to most institutions have been excluded.

PHYSICAL PLANTS
Between July 1, 1950 and June 30, 1961 the University System and its institutions acquired and put into use new plant facilities that cost approximately $80,000,000.00. During the 1958-59 academic year the Augusta College and the Armstrong College of Savannah became units of the University System and titles to their physical plants were transferred to the Board of Regents. The figure set forth above does not include the value of the plants of these two institutions at the time of their acquisition.
During the 1961-62 fiscal year the Board of Regents continued its efforts to expand and improve the physical plants of the institutions. Many additional facilities are needed by the institutions for providing for the rapid growth in student enrollments that are now taking place and for the even more rapid growth that is anticipated for the years immediately ahead.

All of the buildings under construction on June 30, 1962 were being financed through the University. System &!ilding Authority, with the following exceptions:
(a) Governor Ernest Vandiver made a special allocation of $590,750.00 to take care of a part of the cost of the Coliseum building on the campus of the University of Georgia.
(b) The National Science Foundation made a grant of $750,000.00 toward the cost of the Nuclear Reactor Research Center at Georgia Tech and former Governor Marvin Griffin, during his term of office, made a special allocation in the amount of $2,500,000.00 for the same purpose.
(c) The cost of the Dormitory Annex at the Georgia Southern College- amounting to $145,000.00-was being paid from surplus funds in the Auxiliary Enterprise Account of the Georgia Southern College.
It will be noted that the cost of buildings completed during the past twelve years and the cost of buildings under construction on June 30, 1962 reached a total figure that is only slightly under $113,000,000.00
At the close of the 1961-62 fiscal year plans were being prepared for additional building projects on the campuses of eleven institutions of the University System. Arrangements have been made for the financing of all of these projects. Projects for which plans were being developed are listed in the next table:

REPAIRS AND REHABILITATION
All institutions of the Uni"versity SyStem are striving to keep their existing physical plants in good condition. Available funds are not entirely sufficient for proper maintenance, but they are far more adequate than they were in past years. The condition and the appearance of the buildings on the campuses of University System institutions have never been better than they are at the present time.
For many years the Board of Regents and the institutions have been making efforts to improve and modernize many of the older buildings on institutional campuses and to eliminate fire hazards wherever possible. During 1961-62 the Board made special allocations in a total amount of $518,600.00 for repairs and renovations of this type. During the past eleven years the total amount of special allocations by the Board for these purposes has been in excess of $8,000,000.00.
LAND ACQUISITIONS
During 1961-62 some institutions continued their policy of acquiring parcels of land in close proximity to their campuses. Purchases were made whenever it appeared that these lands would be needed for present or future expansion of the institutions and when funds were available to cover the purchase prices.
During 1961-62 the University of Georgia acquired two tracts of land within the City of Athens at a total cost of $40,000.64.
During the past year the University of Georgia purchased two tracts of farm land near Athens. One tract was theW. A. Sams Farm located eight miles southeast of Athens on the Lexington Road. The cost of this tract, consisting of 570 acres, was $76,300.00. The Dairy Department of the College of Agriculture will operate this farm as a part of its teaching and research program.
The second tract of farm land acquired by the University was a part of the Mathewson Estate. This tract consists of 960 acres and it is located about twenty-three miles southeast of Athens on the highway leading to Augusta. This land was made available to the University by the Wilkins family. The price placed upon the land was $135,000.00.
64
The Wilkins Foundation contributed $50,000.00 toward the purchase price. Another $33,000.00 came as a gift froom a trust fund that was established some years ago by Mr. John J. Wilkins, Sr. and Mr. John J. Wilkins, Jr. with the University of Georgia Foundation. The Board of Regents and the University of Georgia provided the remaining $52,000.00 of the purchase price. This farm will be used by the Department of Animal Husbandry for research and demonstration work with livestock.
During 1961-62 the Georgia Institute of Technology acquired eleven parcels of land in close proximity to its present campus. The total amount paid for these properties was $26 I ,250.00. All of this land will be needed for future expansion.
During the last fiscal year the Georgia State College in Atlanta acquired four tracts of land at a total cost of $321 ,590.00. At the end of the year condemnation proceedings were pending against property located at 58-62 Courtland Street, S. E. in the City of Atlanta.
In November 1961 the Board of Regents authorized the Armstrong College to purchase from Dr. Julian K. Quattlebaum property located at 24 West Gaston Street in the City of Savannah for a price of $65,000.00.
Mention should be made of negotiations that were under way during the past year for the acquisition of two valuable tracts of land. The City of Brunswick, Glynn County, and the Glynn County Board of Education were making plans to transfer to the Board of Regents a tract of land that will constitute the site for the proposed new Brunswick Junior College. Mr. Mills Lane, Jr. and the members of his family in March 1962 offered to purchase and make available to the Armstrong College a tract of land on which a new plant for the Armstrong College may be erected.
During 196 I -62 the University of Georgia, the Georgia State College, and the Medical College of Georgia were participating in urban renewal projects that will make considerable additional land available to the institutions and that will cost the institutions and the Board of Regents a sum that will probably be in excess of $1 ,250,000.00.
GIFTS AND GRANTS
The institutions of the University System have continued to receive generous gifts and grants for the support of their teaching and research programs and for student scholarships. The annual reports of the institutions show the amounts of the gifts and grants that were received for various purposes and they also indicate the sources of the gifts. In
65
this report there will be presented only a brief summary of the information contained in the institutional repor4s.
University of Georgia
The University of Georgia reports that gifts and grants received and budgeted during 1961-62 amounted to a total of $3,310,280.34. Approximately three-fourths of this amount was received as grants from agencies of the federal government and other governmental sources; approximately one-fourth came from individuals, private enterprises, and private foundations.
The University received from the Joint Tech-Georgia Development Fund a grant of more than $100,000.00. Most of this money, together with additional money received from other sources, was used to provide supplements to the salaries of faculty members. During 1961-62 there were 167 faculty members receiving these supplements.
During the year 8,114 alumni and friends of the University made contributions to the Alumni Society. The total amount of these contributions was $129,724.00.
Georgia Institute of Technology
In 1961-62 the Georgia Institute of Technology received gifts and grants in the amount of $1 ,589,451.43. Of this amount, $636,836.57 came from agencies of the federal government and the remainder from individuals and private corporations.
The Georgia Tech Foundation received gifts and grants amounting to $386,356.15. This figure includes $223,810.44 that was contributed by 12,246 alumni who responded to the Annual Alumni Roll Call.

The value of the use of this equipment is estimated at $25,000.00 per year.
68
Albany State College
Students and alumni gave the College $644.43 to enable the College to match funds made available by the federal government for student loans. They also contributed $302.00 for the College band.
Fort Valley State College
Individuals and business concerns gave the College $3,773.25 for matching advances made by the federal government for student loan purposes. Alumni contributed $1,272.00 for the purchase of additional band uniforms.
Savannah State College
Alumni and friends of the College contributed $7,586.70 for student scholarships. They also gave $435.00 for awards and prizes.
During the year students in institutions of the University System received a very considerable amount of financial assistance in the form of scholarships and loans. For instance, the General Assembly provided $100,000.00 for scholarships for University System students. Students who are preparing to become teachers are eligible to receive scholarships from the State Board of Education. The value of these teacher education scholarships at the Georgia Southern College alone was $48,522.00 during the past year. The federal government under the terms of the National Defense Education Act advances to institutions funds for student loan purposes. An institution itself must put up one-ninth of the amount that it receives from the federal government. The grants of loans and scholarships of this type are made to the students as individuals and not to the institutions. For this reason, we have not classified as gifts and grants to institutions certain funds that were provided for student loans and scholarships.
NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
During the regular nine months academic year of 1952-53 the cumulative student enrollment in all institutions of the University System was 20,576. For the 1961-62 academic year, nine years later, the cumulative enrollment figure was 37,353. During the past year the institutions were providing instructional services for 16,777 more students than were enrolled in these institutions nine years ago. In 1961-62 the total student enrollment was 81.5% higher than it was in 1952-53.
Several years ago it was conservatively estimated that the enrollment in University System institutions in 1970 would be 50,008. It now
69
seems probable that the enrollment in 1970 will be in excess of 50,000, provided the institutions have. the faculties and physical facilities that will enable them to accept all qualified applicants.
The upward surge in enrollment has created many needs in the University System and it will continue to create additional needs as long as it continues.
The increasing numbers of students make it necessary that new buildings of various types be constructed on the campuses of the institutions of the University System. As the number of buildings increase, more money is needed for plant operation and maintenance.
As enrollments of students increase, more faculty members must be employed. Additional money mu~t be found for instructional supplies and equipment and for books and library operations.
We must not overlook the fact that, while our faculty salaries have been increased substantially in recent years, our salary increases have not matched those made in the publicly-supported institutions in many other states. Statistics reveal that the average salaries paid to teachers in publicly-supported colleges and universities in Georgia are very much below ,the national averages. Georgia institutions must compete with institutions in other States for able and scholarly teachers. If the salary scales in Georgia are not raised substantially, it will be difficult for our institutions to maintain instructional and research programs of high quality.
The facts that have been briefly presented in the preceding paragraphs are responsible for the requests of the institutions for substantial increases in funds for capital outlay and operations. The officials of each institution in the University System have prepared detailed statements of their needs for additional money for various purposes. Summaries of these statements are presented in the annual reports of the institutions for 1961-62. The requests are also summarized in a report that is to be submitted to the State Budget Bureau on or before September 1, 1962. This is the report that will be considered by the Governor and the General Assembly in fixing appropriations for the 1963-65 biennium.
In order that our institutions may be in a position to accept the increasingly large numbers of applicants who are knocking on their doors, and in order that they may be able to continue to improve the quality of the services that they provide for students and other citizens of the State, we earnestly request that the officials and the citizens of Georgia provide adequately for the support of the University System and its institutions. The State cannot use its money for a more worthy cause.
70
CONCLUSION
In concluding this report I wish to express,"'bn behalf of the Board of
Regents and the employees of the University System, our deep appreciation to the Governor, other officials of the State Government, and members of the General Assembly for the assistance and support that they have given to the University System and its institutions. Every request made by the Board of Regents has been carefully considered and the Board has found every department of the State Government to be most cooperative and helpful.
On behalf of the Board of Regents, I want to thank the personnel of the University System for their outstanding services to their institutions and to the people of our State. No group could have discharged its duties more ably and conscientiously and no group could have shown a finer spirit of loyalty to the interests of those whom it serves.
And, finally, let me, on behalf of the personnel of the University System and on behalf of all whom the University System serves, thank the members of the Board of Regents for the outstanding leadership that they have provided for the System, for the intelligent and courageous manner in which they have dealt with the System's problems, and for their devoted, unselfish, and tireless service to the cause of higher education in Georgia.
Respectfully submitted, Harmon W. Caldwell
