The farmer boys, as they are sometimes called, really learn more than just farming at Georgia. They pursue an extensive course which not only indoctrinates them in the latest agricultural meth- ods in their particular fields, but with the latest methods in all fields of agriculture. Besides agricul- ture, courses in English, math, public speaking, gov- ernment, and many other areas of study are required, thus giving a well-rounded and sound education which will not only prepare them for their chosen careers, but will make them informed, valuable citi- zens. The University of Georgia is a member of the American Association of Land Grant Colleges ap- proved by the Federal Government to give instruc- tion in agriculture and related fields. The College of Agriculture is an integral part of this program, providing a coordinated program of research, col- lege training, and extension services in thirteen major fields. In the well-equipped, modern laboratories of the Ag College, students learn by doing. The University maintains a large tract of land by the South Campus where students can .see at fir.st hand the results of modern technology. C. C.

UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES Ti.p to Bottom: THE OLD COORDINATE LIBRARY. STIDY IN THE LAW LIBRARY. AKKIVAI. OF STRl ' CTUBAL STEEL FOR NEW LIBRARY BUILDING. EVELYN FRITZ and W. P. KELLAM Directors With the opening of the Ilah Dunlap Little Li- brary, the University libraries begin a new era in modern surroundings. The old building, a gift from George Foster Peabody in 1905, long ago became inadequate for the growing accumulation of books and papers. According to the University, the new library incorporates the latest in library science and modern fixtures. In 1800, an appropriation was made of one thou- sand dollars in order to purchase books and scientific supplies, and the present system of libraries was begun. Today, that amount would purchase only enough to fill a normal stack. From the student viewpoint, the best feature in the new library will be the abolition of the long trip to the reserve book room on Jackson Street. 22

HISTORICAL MARKER COMMEMORATING THE FOUNDING OF FRANKLIN COI.LECK M ' nil I NIVERSITY. S. WALTER MARTIN Dean Founded in 1801 as an answer to the need for liberal education for Georgians, the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences is the oldest part of the Uni- versity. The object of the College is to give the stu- dent an opportunity to concentrate in certain fields of study which might be helpful in laying a foun- dation for professional pursuits. Thus it fulfills the precepts of a liberal education in developing the individual as a human being first, and then giving him a background that should enable him to achieve a high standard of living and a safe economic position. 24
