1 PRESIDENT DR.O. C. ADERHOLD In September 1950 Omer Clyde Aderhold became the seventeenth president of the University of Georgia. He had already served the University, his Alma Mater for Twenty-two years. Upon his inauguration in May 1951, he recalled the vision of Abraham Baldwin and stated his belief that Baldwin ' s dream of the University as the capstone of education in Georgia must be achieved. To attain this goal, he pointed out, resources and facilities of the Uni- versity must be used to the end that greater numbers of students have maximum opportunities for mental, spiritual, and social growth. He pointed out that on environment must be maintained to stimulate a desire for knowledge, to give practice in making intelligent decisions, and to develop skills in putting these decisions into action. During the six years of his administration, there has been significant progress in realizing these aims. The faculties of the eleven schools and colleges have showed steadily increasing scholastic and professional achieve- ment. A new library building has been completed, and the program of acquiring library resources has received renewed emphasis. New dormitory buildings for fresh- man men and women have been completed, and a stu- dent center provided in renovated Memorial Hall. A splendid off-campus center at Rock Eagle for 4-H ac- tivities has been built. An expanded program of adult education has been planned, and a modern center for Continuing Education has been completed. Last year two financial grants were announced for the construction of a large part of a University Science Center. Work was started after Christmas this on what will ultimately become a $10,000,000 center covering 40 acres of campus, south of Sanford Stadium. His years of administration bear evidence of Presi- dent Aderhold ' s inaugural pledge for the University: To the people of Georgia, we pledge all of our energy, effort, and intelligence. 12 i
