1959 Pandora Dedication THE SEVENTY-SECOND VOLUME of the Pandora is dedicated to Dr. George Steven Parthemos. Dr. Parthemos came to the University of Georgia in 1953. Within those six years he has made many friends among students and faculty. Dr. Parthemos was born in Charleston, S. C, in 1921. He attended elementary and high schools in Abbeville, S. C, and holds three college degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Erskine College, 1946; Master of Arts, University of South Carolina, 1950; and Doc- tor of Philosophy, University of North Carolina, 1953. He joined the University of Georgia faculty in September, 195 3, as an instructor, later rising to the rank of assistant professor of political science. Pre- viously, he had taught at the University of South Carolina in 1948-49, and the University of North Carolina in 1951-53. During World War II, he served 37 months in the U. S. Navy, emerging with the rank of Lieu- tenant, junior grade. Dr. Parthemos is one of the most promising young men on the faculty. He has written numer- ous articles on political science and government for such publications as the Georgia Bar Journal, the Mercer Law Kevieiu, and the Georgia Local Gov- ernment Journal. He has served as co-editor of the latter publication. Also, Dr. Parthemos has written the articles on Georgia for the Encyclopedia Bri- tannica Yearbook and the Collier ' s Encyclopedia Yearbook. He is in constant demand as a speaker at civic groups, student organizations, and confer- ences on campus and throughout the area. Just recently, Dr. Parthemos was awarded a Rockefeller post-doctoral award for advanced study and research at Harvard University, on the sub- ject of modern legal and political philosophy. He began his work at Harvard in January, 1959, and will continue there through the summer of 1959, when he will then return to the University. The University of Georgia is fortunate in having a man such as Dr. Parthemos on its faculty. To a brilliant man, a devoted teacher, and a sin- cere individual, we take great pride in dedicating the 1959 Pandora. i
