Wo DedicatG... . . . this sixty-second edition of The Pandora to a faithful and worthy friend, Mr. Hugh Hodg- son. For more years than many of us have lived, Mr. Hugh has unselfishly and diligently dedicated himself to The University of Georgia and to its students. A little more than a third of a century ago he himself graduated from the University and has since that time become one of its most prominent and active alumni, distinguishing himself as a teacher, com- poser, and concert pianist. He studied music in Berlin but returned to the United States in 1919 to make his formal debut in New York. There his abili- ties as a concert pianist gained for him the highest esteem and admiration of the entire musical world. For more than eight years after his debut in New York he was a visiting artist for the American Association of Visit- ing Artists. During this time he visited col- leges and state universities in over half of the forty-eight states. In 1928 he accepted the appointment to the head of the Music Department of The Uni- versity of Georgia, and since then has served brilliantly in that capacity. He is also pres- ent chairman of the Fine Arts Division of the University. During his years here he has known prac- tically every student on the campus and has been known by them, either as instructor, director of the Glee Club, or simply as the man who plays at the Muse Appreciation Hours. Mr. Hugh takes great pride in being referred to as one of the characters of the campus. Several years ago he founded the Hugh Hodgson Scholarship Fund for promising students in the field of music; and he has also been a leading factor in the furthering of musical education in Georgia ' s public schools. He is always eager to be of any possible service to his school or to any of its students, either as councilor, instructor, or just plain friend. It is because of this loyalty and un- selfishness that we most proudly and humbly dedicate this ' 49 Pandora to a truly great man. THE STAFF !4
