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.

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

S clioot of JDUHIVALIS Top to Dottom : THE COMMERCE JOURNALISM BUILDING. AMERICA ' S PREEMINENT COLLEGE WEEKLY. SITE OF THE ULTRA-MODERN PRINTING PLANT. M JOHN E. DREWRY Dean Though his wraith has never been seen drifting through the halls of the C-J Building, there are some who maintain that the spirit of Henry W. Grady is omnipresent at the School of Journalism. If he were present, he would certainly smile on the school bear- ing his name. Dr. S. V. Sanford was the first director of the School of Journalism when instruction began in 1915. In the years that followed, the school grew to include not only newspapers, but almost the com- plete field of communications. Instruction runs from the weekly newspaper to television with a curricu- lum flexible enough to allow an outside supplemen- tary major in many other fields. The Henry Grady School is the administrator of the George Foster Peabody Radio and Television Awards and renders invaluable service to Georgia journalism in other fields by acting as host to insti- tutes and conventions. 30
