GOVERNOR GRIFFIN talks with President Aderhold and Dean Williams before opening of Science Center ' s Physics Building. PRESIDENT ADERHOLD, Alumni President Walker, and Sheriff Huff wait for beginning of the graduation procession. Letter From The President To the Pandora Staff, Faculty, and Student Body: With a sense of pride we view the history and achievements of the University of Georgia. The in- stitution is a living reminder of the faith that our founding fathers placed in education more than 150 years ago. From our campus through the years have moved in steady procession outstanding men and women who have become our teachers, lawyers, farmers, doctors, scientists, bankers, and other business and professional leaders. Rapid scientific advancement, changing economy, and shifting populations magnify the importance and complexity of the task of higher education to- day. And, as our world changes, the University seeks to meet the varying needs of our people through teaching, research, and service. Faculty, alumni, and stat e officials have joined forces to study our prob- lems and resources, and to build an institution to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. As a result, significant progress has been made in pro- viding outstanding teachers and scholars; programs of strength and quality; and an appropriate, ade- quate physical plant. In the presence of these things alert students find their greatest opportunity, and scholars are prompted to research. With University Foundation funds and increased state allocations we are able to hold valuable faculty members sought by other institutions, business, and industry. Five years ago the University libraries moved into new quarters, which provide a model for other in- stitutions. Library holdings are strengthened and ex- tended each year. Two years ago the Center for Continuing Education opened to provide more ex- tensive services for the adult population of Georgia. Last year one of the finest laboratories for poultry disease research in the country was dedicated on our campus. By early 1960 all units of the great new Science Center will be occupied, providing the very best in classroom and laboratory facilities. These are but a few illustrations of progress. Much remains to be done if the University is to ful- fill its obligation to the people of Georgia. We move ahead with the firm conviction that our very life and civilization depend upon making the opportu- nities of higher education available to all who can profit from such opportunities.

llSlilllll OLD COLLEGE is the site of most of the offices of the Administrators of the University. Their job is to keep the University running smooth- ly and efficiently. Progress is the key word that they must always keep in mind. They must make provisions as the University expands, for the fu- ture, to assure each student an op- portunity for a well-rounded edu- cation. Their job is the University of Georgia.
