THE COLLEGE of AGRICULTURE J. HE College of Agriculture is an integral unit of a new, unified institution — the Uni- versity of Georgia. This union brings to- gether, under one administrative control, the oldest State University and the youngest College of Agriculture in the United States. Through the College of Agriculture the University performs three principal func- tions: resident teaching, agricultural exten- sion, and agricultural research. In all there are more than four hundred and fifty members of the agricultural staff of the Chapman University System. Through the agents of the Extension Service the University has a direct contact with every farm family in Georgia. The College of Agriculture offers three curricula leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering, and Bache- lor of Science in Forestry. We may well be proud of the fact that we have the oldest and largest School of Forestry in the South. President Roosevelt ' s New Deal places an emphasis upon the type of social service which the College of Agriculture is prepared to render. Perhaps this explains why the Freshman Class of 1934-.H is the largest in the history of the College. Paul W. Chapman, Dean.

THE COLLEGE of ARTS and SCIENCES XS A COLLEGE education worth while? To my mind this depends upon which of two general groups a student belongs. One group, whom I think of as pass or de- gree men or women are those whose only ambition is merely to pass their subjects, to obtain the name but not the substance of an education. Such students are satisfied to get by with as little intellectual effort as possible and often in an emergency use questionable methods. These students at heart really do not believe that there is any real value in their studies and so necessarily obtain little real value; such students after graduation have no interest in intellectual pursuits and life is a dry and arid thing, especially if they have no money to artificially step up the tempo of life. The other group I think of as education students; to them the degree is inci- dental; they want a real education. They really believe that study is worth while and gives intellectual pleasure and strength. To them each new field of study is a thrilling adventure, opening up new worlds of thought and viewpoints of life. After gradua- tion these men and women continue their intellectual pursuits and life becomes richer and richer as they grow older and older. L. L. Hendren, Dean. Hendren

THE COORDINATE COLLEGE Powell T HE Coordinate College is simply the de- liberate effort of the Board of Regents to offer to the young women of Georgia who desire it the university type of education, while preserving for them the personal comfort and social protection of the better type of woman ' s colleges. As the Univer- sity is divided for men into the Junior College division and the Senior College di- vision, so it is divided for women. The Junior College women live in the dormitories on the Coordinate campus and have their classes conducted on that campus. Senior College women reside on the other campuses and attend classes on those campuses. It was the spirit of high-minded manliness that made the old University a great school for men; it is the same spirit — substituting for the single term manliness the double term manliness and womanliness — -that is making the new University a great school for all the people of Georgia. R. H. Powell, Dcaii of the Coordinate College.
