DEAN of MEN JL HERE has been u slogan in the State of Georgia for a long time that goes, It is great to be a Georgian. There have not been many times in the last decade when this could be said without the tongue in the cheek, or without hitting the nail squarely on the thumb. There is no doubt however about this assertion: if this slogan were slightly changed so that it would say It is great to be a Georgia student it could be shouted from the house tops without reservation or facial distortion. The rapid completion of the reorganization of the state system of higher education in this state is one of the most encouraging and hopeful signs I have seen since coming to the University 16 years ago. The recent recognition by state officials of the fact that the matter of higher education is not political plunder is the first real break Georgia students have had since the chartering of the University. The completion of this reorganization has been accom- plished by a Board of Regents that has only one ideal — the opening up of educational possibilities. The changes in the curriculum at the University of Geor- gia brought about by President Sanford and an able and in- terested faculty, seem to me to be one of the great educa- tional adventures in the country. The development of the physical body of the University through federal funds now available will make a better and finer spot for enjoying this adventure. In addition to the broadened academic opportunities that the University is now offering, it also offers an unusual degree of administrative and faculty co-operation in extra-curricular activities. As one of the ofHcials more or less in charge of these activities, I can state that the attitude of the faculty and administration toward all forms of individual and group expression is one of sympathy, understanding and co-operation. Combine all of these advantages, and no one can challenge you when you shout, It is great to be a Georgia student. H. J. Stegeman. Didii of Men iiinl Director of Athletics. Stegeman Rhodes DEAN of WOMEN ir ' IFTEEN years ago the first woman was admitted to the University of Georgia. Last year more than nine hundred were enrolled here. Between these two statements might be written a history of higher education for women in Georgia which would prove more than interestmg to one concerned with trends in feminine culture. Each year new fields have opened to women, and special courses have been provided for their concentration, so that today the University offers as wide choice for young women in education as may be found anywhere. With the steadily increasing number of women students has come constant elevation of personal and intellectual stand- ards for women; very high percentages of women are always found in honor societies and student activities. It is my pleasure to congratulate the University upon its women students, and the students upon their part in the stu- dent body. I trust that the future will continue to bring to us girls who have intellectual power, and tine vision, to enjoy the opportunities offered by this old and distinguished in- stitution. „ Ellen Rhodes, Dean of Women.

THE SCHOOL of PHARMACY -Laymen, and many pharmacists themselves, fail to comprehend the full significance of the duties of the phar macist and what is involved in pharmaceutical education to equip him to properly discharge his responsibilities in the matter of a proper influence with the people he comes in con- tact with. The modern drug stores or pharmacies, par- ticularly those of the small towns and cities, have come to be the center where all of the people are drawn from time to time, and where all of the important issues are discussed. The pharmacist therefore becomes acquainted with the personal and community opinion on all matters of interest to the community. By reason of his many contacts, the pharmacist should be trained not alone in the complex technical features of his business but should have the broadest possible educa- tional background; and the principles of good citizenship should be personified in him. R. C. Wilson, Dean The professional phases of the drug store are distinctly public and as public health activities are broadened, the drug store or pharmacy of the future will come to be one of the chief mediums through which proper instruction in personal and community health is carried forward. The School of Pharmacy of the University recognizes its responsibilities and, as equipment and teaching personnel are provided from time to time, will prepare its students to assume in a larger measure their full responsibilities for a broader service to the people of Georgia. health in character.
