UNIVERSITY cJ lb raPi ¥ The ne ' w Ilah Dunlap Little Memorial Library, which was occupied in September, 1953, is the largest structure on the campus, containing a floor area of 133,700 square feet, a book capacity of about 600,000 volumes, and seating space for almost 1,000 people. Subdued and restful colors are used through- out the building. Walls of light grey are accented with columns of blue on all floors except one, where columns are persimmon. Floor colors vary, and furniture is in light finished birch. The chairs have leather upholstered backs, and each reading room has an informal area equipped with sofas, easy chairs, and coffee tables. The total effect is one of extremely pleasant surroundings, conducive to study and reading. The organization of materials and services also promotes ready use. The traditional periodical, reference, and reserve rooms have been replaced by four divisions; humanities, social sciences, science and technology, and special collections, T vo reading rooms servicing the humanities are located on the first floor — one serving art, music, philosophy, and religion; and the other, journalism, language, and literature. The social sciences are contained in t ' wo reading rooms on the second floor — one housing anthropology, education, geog- raphy, sociology, and sports; and the other, eco- nomics, history, political science, and statistics. One reading room on the third floor services science and technology, including psychology; and the other contains the special collections vhich con- sist of Georgiana, manuscripts, historical maps, and rare books. Other services and facilities available are a stu- dent typing room, individual faculty studys, car- rells for graduate students, an auditorium equipped for film and sound use with a seating capacity of 180, reading rooms of micro-produced materials, seven listening rooms for the playing of recordings, and a photographic laboratory for the production of microfilms and photostats.

COLLEGE OF . aricultare The College of Agriculture offers courses in three fields — agriculture, agricultural engineer- ing, and landscape architecture. Degree-course programs are offered in each of these. There are many opportunities to specialize in these three fields, including work in agricultural chemistry, agricultural education, agricultural economics, agricultural extension training, agron- omy, animal husbandry, botany, dairying, ento- mology, food technology, general agriculture, horticulture, plant pathology and plant breeding, poultry husbandry, rural electrification, soil and water conservation, and rural industries and services. The 2,47 5-acre college farm carries beef cattle, dairy cattle and other livestock herds, and the poultry farm serves one of Georgia ' s rapidly grow- ing industries through its program of practical experience and research. The College of Agriculture Extension Service reaches into every Georgia county and annually contacts the majority of Georgia ' s farm families. There is a county agent vho works primarily with farmers and a home demonstration agent working primarily with farm women in nearly every Georgia county. Both county and home demonstration agents work with and train 4-H Club boys and girls. On the Athens campus the state Extension Service headquarters staff is made up of some 50 specialists in nearly every phase of farming and homemaking plus an administrative group. In addition to the regular teaching and exten- sion programs, the experiment stations in the state make up a major phase of the College of Agricul- ture. There are stations at Athens, Griffin, Tif- ton, Blairsville, Calhoun, Plains, and Midville. There is a station ifithin 90 miles of every Georgia farm family. The College of Agriculture here is the youngest in the nation. The main building on the College of Agriculture campus, Conner Hall, was constructed in 1907. The present dean and director. Dr. C. C. Murray, assumed his duties in 1950. The College sponsors numerous student activi- ties each year that attract high school graduates from all over the state. The Little International Livestock Show, the annual 4-H Club Carnival and annual Dairy Day are anong the major events sponsored.
