Qraduate School ' p HE Board of Trustees established the Graduate School in 1910 on ilic recommendation of Chancellor Barrow with the i lcn of still further and more systematically taking advantage of the scholarship of the Faculty for the benefit of advanced students, promoting research, providing the atmosphere of devotion to pure science and learning without which undergraduate study can not l e constantly fertilized, and laying the foundation for a greater university ready for upward as well as lateral expansion. In 1910 there were four students pursuing graduate courses. The Bulletin of the Graduate School of March. 192S, contains the names of one hundred and ninety-nine. Working under the burden of a very large undergraduate teaching load the members of the Faculty have shown a high patriotism and devotion worthy of all recognition. And there arc signs of such recognition on the horizon. With the augmented equipment which may reasonably be expected the University will become still more effectively the center of the higher development of the spiritual, intellectual, and material resources of a great state.

The department of journalism was authorized by the board of trustees in 1915, and was changed to the Henry V. Grady School of Journalism in 1921. The School is named for a distinguished .Southern journalist and statesman who was an alumnus of the University of Georgia. In the purely journalistic courses offered in the Grady School, an effort is made to combine theory with practice. Lectures and standard text-book study are supplemented with practical assignments designed to reproduce in a measure the conditions that will confront the graduate when he enters the newspaper or magazine office. The School of Journalism is housed in the new Commerce-Journalism building. It occupies the ground floor and half of the main floor, the remainder of the structure being devoted to the School of Commerce. In the Journalism part of the building an effort is made to reproduce the atmosphere of the modem newspaper office. In addition to ample class room space, there is a large city room which is to 1 equipped with typewriters, a copy desk, and other furniture necessary to an editorial laboratory. A University Press on the main floor will crvc as a reading room, and will offer to the students periodicals and !xx ks in their field. A morgue houses reference material and clippings. There is space for printing equipment which the school may install later. S. V. Sanford, Head of the Henry IP. Grady School of Journalism. rage Turnty tight

Lumpl{in Law School a T the regular meeting of the Trustees of the University in 1859, the l oard determined to reorganize the University, and in the plan that was then adopted it was determined to establish a law school in which facilities for the best legal education would be afforded. In pursuance of this plan,-on August 4. 859, on motion of Governor Hcrschcl V. Johnson, Joseph Henry Lumpkin (the first Chief Justice of Georgia), William Hope Hull, and Thomas R. R. Cobb were elected professors, and the law school opened in the autumn of that year. The law department of the University was conducted under the name of the Lumpkin Law School, and the graduates were awarded their diplomas by the trustees at the regular commencement. In August, 1S67. Benjamin IL Hill and William L. Mitchell were elected by the Board of Trustees to the two vacancies in the law department, and from that time forward the I-aw School has been conducted under the name of the law department of the University. The enrollment of the school has increased 250% since 1925, and the enrollment for the present school year is 223, eighty more students than were enrolled in the year preceding. During that time the curriculum has been extended, the library has been built up. If the law school is run u| on its present lines and accommodations arc furnished, it would be reasonable to estimate that it will have some 275 students next September. George F. Goiier, President of the Lumpkin Law School. Pa-je Tfttrly
