Fifty Years of Progress at Middle Georgia College Progress has been the keynote on the campus of Middle Georgia College for the past fifty years. The past and its progress have led Middle Georgia to a prominent place in the ranks of the nation's junior colleges. From the classrooms, through the dormitory halls, and on into areas of student life, the past fifty years have seen rapid advances and growth in faculty, student life and campus facilities. The campus facilities now include three major class- room buildings, four men's residence halls, two women's residence halls, an expansive gymnasium, and a new library. Today, the Middle Georgia College student attends classes under the direction of a large and competent faculty. Course structure has been increased to in- clude technical and liberal arts courses for various majors. Graduates of Middle Georgia College have found little trouble in transferring to many of Georgia's four-year institutions. A careful cultivation of aca- demic life for fifty years has brought M.G.C. to its position of offering the finest in academic contribu- tion. In the area of student activities. Middle Georgia pro- vides opportunities for students to belong to organi- zations which are devoted to special interests. These include the math, science, sports, home economics, and journalism clubs which co-ordinate the varied activities of the college. Other groups recognize scholarship as well as leadership. Student government representatives are elected by the student body each year. For day-to-day relaxation, a favorite meeting place is the campus store, which rounds out the daily ac- tivities of each student. A new one-million-dollar student center-dining hall building is now in the planning stages. Continued progress has enabled Middle Georgia College to offer quality education in modern facilities and an atmosphere of friendship and learning.
