Y V , xx Dream, plan, work and fight, yield a littleebut then push . . . hard! In 1953 Governor Herman E. Talmadge broke the ground for the new Atlanta Division building. Director George McIntyre Sparks realized that which so many men who dream, plan and work feel when they see their conceptions emerge as actualities. It is a wonderful feeling, reserved for men who pioneer. In 1954, this Fall, students will enter the new Atlanta Division building hurriedly, noisily. Few will give thought to the past, to the present, to the future. They pause only long enough to rest a bit between classes. They have a dream for the future too. tw'mM WMw-um: , u i A Serenade for the Builder

THE ATLANTA DIVISION The phenomenal growth of the Georgia Tech Evening School of Commerce, begun in 1913 with 47 students, into the Atlanta Division, University of Georgia, with an enrollment of more than 5,000, is without parallel in the history of education. Gratify- ing the wish of Atlanta men and women for higher learning has been an ever-increasing task through the 36 years of the schools life, and its scope shows no signs of narrowing. The idea for an evening school in Atlanta had its embryonic beginning in 1911 when W. M. Fambrough, president of the Alumhi Association of Georgia Tech, inquired of the alumni concerning their need for business training, especially during the first few years after graduation. Their replies prompted him to express the desire for a Chair of Business Science at Tech. In 1912 a campaign was begun to interest juniors and seniors in a series of business lectures given at the school. These lectures were placed on the regular schedule at the end of that term. In 1913 the Georgia Tech Evening School of Commerce was established, housed in three rooms in the Walton building. Although it was authorized by the Board of Trustees its fmancing was independent. The schools first president was the late W. S. Kell, a member of the Georgia Tech faculty. His aims as stated, were: 1. T0 interest business men in the idea of an evening school in behalf of the youth of Atlanta. 2. To prepare himself for a more thorough business training in order to raise the standards of the school tin quest of this, he became the third C.P.A. in Georgia. 3. Eventually to make the school co-educational. A peak enrollment of 364 attended classes in the four rooms in the Arcade building from 1917 to 1921. In the latter year the site was moved to a third-Hoorattic at 18 Auburn avenue, where there were five classrooms. In 1920 the school was made co-educational.
