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

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.

The School of Home Economics was founded in 1918 as the Division of Home Economics of the State College of Agriculture, and it was the first de- partment of the University to off ' er undergraduate study to women. The department reorganized in 1933 as the School of Home Economics of the Uni- versity of Georgia. While students spend much time with scientific theory, there is no lack of practical experience gained in the laboratories, nurseries, and home management houses of the school. The curricula are so arranged that students are prepared not only for a satisfactory and effective family life, but for a professional career. MRS.
