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. The School stresses the importance of conserving natural resources because of the vital part they play in our economy of today. Forestry Building il ' XiJiaia 1 jli! jiJi !

The School of Home Economics originated as the Division of Home Economics of the State College of Agriculture in 1918 and offered the first undergraduate work open to women in the University of Georgia. 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. The objective of the School is the preparation of the student for home and family living and for professional careers relating to the home. The core of this family-centered curriculum em- braces a well-rounded program of instruction. MARYSPEIRS Last year Dr. Mary Speirs was appointed dean of the Home Economics School.

VETERINARY MEDICINE A degree course in veterinary medicine was first offered at the University in 1918 when a professional curriculum in a division of the College of Agriculture became activated. That course was discontinued in 1933, and formal training, in this field was not offered until the present School of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1946. The first two years of professional study are devoted to basic and preclinical classroom and laboratory courses; the last two years are largely concerned with clinical training in the classroom, laboratory, large and small animal hospital areas, and ambulatory clinics.
