The present School was estab- lished in 1933 when the Household Arts Department of the State Teachers College was merged with the Division of Home Economics of the Georgia State College of Agriculture.

School of FORESTRY The George Foster Peabody School of Forestry, established in 1906, is the oldest school of forestry in the South. Three types of services are carried on by the School: teaching of professional forestry to students desiring to make forestry their career, performing extention work with the farmers and landowners through the Agricultural Extention Service, and doing research at the Griffin Experiment Station and Athens Station. The forest properties owned by the University are managed by the School of Forestry.
