An students experiment in new visual training class. On the Athens campus, the Gilljert Memorial Infirmary was the recipient of .$14,300 to be used in modernizing the kitchen, refrigerator, clinic and hospital rooms. In the College of Education, a full undergraduate and master ' s program in speech correction has been developed. Headed by Dr. Stanley H. Ainsworth, the program will provide specially trained teachers for working with mentally and physically handi- capped children in Georgia. Further developments to coordinate teaching, re- search, and extension work in entomology made possible the authorization of the Department of En- tomology in the College of Arts and Sciences.

progress. First to be completed was the building now occupied by the Institute of Law and Govern- ment which was dedicated in the late spring of ' 54. Next was the new Co-Op in the basement of Den- mark Hall. Patterned after the already-popular Myers Hall Grill, the Co-Op immediately became a meeting place for students and faculty alike. Additional facilities to be of enjoyment to stu- dents then underwent construction. Enlarging Me- morial Hall will provide a large ballroom, TV and game rooms, office space, and a cafeteria for use by Student Union. More spacious quarters for Georgia ' s athletic department will be available when the renovation of Stegeman Hall is accomplished. Now receiving finishing touches, the newly-built portion will supply office and classroom space for the University ' s sports staff. Announcement of the Continuing Education Cen- ter furnished perhaps the year ' s biggest story. De- signed to help people everywhere improve the qual- ity as well as the quantity of living, the Center will include moral, spiritual, and economic studies in its curriculum. Ihider the direction of Dr. Hugh B. Masters, the Center ' s chief aim is to be a place where an individual can continue to learn, regardless of age. occupation, place in life, or previous educa- tion. Work has already begun and the Center will be ready for occupancy in 1956. Further progress can easily be noted by a quick glance at Georgia ' s overall curriculum. During the year, an entirely new division, the Department of Nursing Education was established, to operate in combination with the I ' niversity in Athens and the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital in Augusta. Upon completion of such a course of study, candi- dates for graduation will be awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing and will be eligible to take the Georgia examination for the title of Registered Nurse. f Ubifea Sr Dr. I{i)liliin iii |i( ' ( ' l« now cquipiiienl in Gilbert Memorial Infirn Vet students X ray a dog in modern building.
