In May, 1935, the oldest chartered State University in the United States called to its leadership Doctor Harmon W. Caldwell, who became the youngest college president in the countr . A consistently brilliant career as a student at the University of Georgia and at Harvard followed by an unusually successful law practice presaged his equally dis- tinguished achievements as a university administrator. Tiie high expectations of all those who are interested in the University and its progress have been more than fulfilled. President Caldwell has those qualities and experience tliat render him peculiarly well suited for the position lie now holds. He is a thorough scholar, a perfect gentleman and an ideal citizen. H - his personal charm, his mildness ot manner and firmness in decision, he has won the confidence, respect and admiration of the stuiients, members of the faculty, and friends of the University. Under his administration, and through his permeating personality, there has de- veloped on the campus a spirit of loyalty and good feeling that prevails in all phases of Universit life. Students and faculty alike feel that they have a friend as a leader who has an intelligent understanding, a sympathetic interest and a sincere determination to help them with their many problems. The advance and improvemeiits of the physical aspects of the campus ha e kept pace with these intangible develop- ments in the faculty and student of the University. The tremendous increase in the size of tlie stuileiit body had taxed the buildings and equipment to the utmost, but during the past few years eight new buiiih ' ngs have been com- pleted, and ten more are now being constructed. The campus has been decidedly improved and beautifiet! by paved roads, extensive landscaping and by the planting of shrubs and trees. These changes, along with tlie marked changes in the campus spirit, impress one with the fact that the University is rapidly developing into a really great institution Our President has a dream, which like most dreams, has only been partially realized. Among his hopes for the future is a University fully equipped to aid in advancing the frontiers of knowledge in order to keep learning abreast of our rapidly changing world. Graduate work and professional training are now being encouraged as never before. While the Universitv faces a financial crisis it relies w ith uinfidence on President Caldwell ' s vision and leadership.
