Dedication In view of the long and devoted service rendered to Armstrong College in his years as teacher and president, it is fitting that the ,Geeclzee dedication of 1964 should go to Mr. Foreman M. Hawes in this year of his retirement as president of Armstrong. It was twenty-eight years ago this January, only months after the opening of the college, that Mr. Hawes arrived on campus. A native of Richmond County, he had received his early education in that area, graduating from the Locust Grove Institute. He went on to earn his hacheloris degree at Mercer University and a masterqs degree in chemistry at Emory University. He served as instructor of chemistry at Georgia Tech for a while, and came to Armstrong in that capacity in the winter of 1936. By 1942 Mr. Hawes had hecome advisor for student activities and Dean of Students. In 1943. when President J. Thomas Askew resigned to enter the war-time Navy, Mr. Hawes was chosen to fill the vacated post. He guided the college then through the lean years of the war, the post-war hoom and the return to normalcy after the Hood of veterans. In his long term of office as president, Mr. Hawes' achievements have heen numerous and varied. Under his guidance the college has acquired most of the huildings it now occupies. He obtained the use of the Georgia Historical Societyqs Hodgson Hall as the college lihrary, expanded the science facilities of Gamhle Hall, and presided over the transfer of the college from the city to the University System of Georgia. More recently he has heen instrumental in forwarding plans for huildings on the new campus site which will soon he hrought to fruition. Besides these tangihle signs of accomplishments, a more important and less ohvious aspect of his administration is to he found in the standards of academic excellence that he has fostered. These are reHected in the success of Armstrong students at reputahle senior colleges everywhere and the hne reputation that the college has throughout the nation. Therefore it is with admiration and respect that we dedicate the 1964 ,Geecliee to President Foreman M. Hawes. The Geechee Staff 7
