Tobacco chewing and the tales of Paul Bunyan are not a part of the curriculum of the Forestry School, but the other aspects of forestry are included. Students get a chance to get mud on their boots and blisters on their hands while taking the theory and practice in the courses of the school. The forest properties owned by the University are under the management of the students. In 1906, George Foster Peabody endowed the newly-founded school for three years. In recognition, the school was named in his honor. However, in 1908, it was absorbed by the College of Agriculture, and only in 1935 was it re-established as a separate school. Now housed in a modern building of its own on Ag. Drive, which contains everything but the field facilities of the school, it sponsors the Forestry Field Day , for traditional sports of lumberjacks.

DOTSON Dean Mickey Mouse 103 and Sand Box 221X are joking- ly called the backbone of education courses. How- ever, the College attempts to train teachers to be qualified to teach students who are .iust out of the sand box, figuratively speaking, on up to any age. Using the most modern methods, the College assists the student in subjects he wishes to teach, develops a professional attitude toward education, and de- velops skill in the use of special methods in teaching and supervision. Founded in 1903, when Chancellor W. B. Hill organized the new departments of Philosophy and Education, the George Foster Peabody College of Education is an integral, part of the chain of schools and colleges comprising the University. Before graduation, the students are given an op- portunity to test their skill by a quarter of practice teaching in a Georgia secondary school. 26

G R A S C D U A T H D D L Tc.| to Bottom: LABORATORY WORK STILL CONTINUES. THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE UNIVERSITY. PIII KAI ' I ' A IIAI.I. AM THK HOOKSTORE. GEORGE H. BOYD Dean The graduate degrees require long hours of con- centrated work, and a thesis which is much more than an overgrown term paper on a specialized sub- ject. It is the result of patient study and observa- tion. Graduate degrees have been offered by the Uni- versity since its establishment, but it was not until 1910 that a graduate school was officially opened. A graduate council operated the school until 1941, when a graduate faculty was provided. Appoint- ment to this faculty is in the hands of the president of the University. The Master ' s degree is offered in most majors, and the Ph.D. is offered in biology, English, and mathematics. In the field of education, there is the degree of Doctor of Education. 28
