Qeorgia State College of cAgriculture THK institution witli which I am associated has just completed twenty-five years of continuous and satisfactory service to the people of Georgia. During that time it has grown from an isolated and unknown entit - into an institution which has won recognition throughout the length and breadth of the commonwealth. It was appropriate under these condi- tions that it should have selected Service as its motto and adopted as its slogan, (lur Campus the State. From the beginning, it has had a threefold objective in view; namely, 1. The development of courses of instruction calculated to prepare the men and women of Georgia for leadership in all those fields of work associated with rural life. 2. The inauguration and mainte- nance of research activities of every kind and character related to the wel- fare interests which the institution is designed to serve. This procedure is necessary in order that new facts and information ma be brought to light as needed for the benefit and uplift of the people of the State and the strengthening of the instructional service. 3. The dissemination of data ob- tained from local and nation-wide sources into the life-stream program of the people who live out in the open country or who are connected or associated with industries integrated with our progress along economic and industrial lines. Substantial progress looking to the accomplishment of these essential ends has been made, more than a thousand men and women havmg already been prepared for leadership and sent out into a great variety of fields of service. The prep- aration of teachers has been strongly emphasized, with the result that 24 per cent, of its men and 45 per cent, of its women graduates are thus employed. In other words, some 448 vocational teachers of Agriculture and Home Economics are now at work in Georgia, thus bringing a new objective purpose and understanding into the rural life program of the State. The benefit which the research work carried forward has conferral upon the State is well illustrated b the fact that 330 soil types have been discovered and delineated, thus bringing into cultivation such outstanding crops as bright leaf tobacco and alfalfa. This has enabled the State to introduce and cultivate new crops, which have added millions of dollars annually to the income of our landowners and made it possible for them to recoup and prote;t themselves against the losses incident to the boll weevil invasion. Through the medium of the Extension Service, the job of contracting with a half million citizens of the State each year has been successfully accomplished. The nature and character of our agricultural practice have also been substantially changed until Georgia has now come to be widely recognized as having one of the best diversified programs of production followed in any State. 1 hat this has been a saving grace from both an economic and a social point of view is self-evident. In the meantime, the campus at Athens has been enlarged and beautified until it presents a very (Contmucd on Page 36) Dr. Axdrew M.
