President The office of the President is the executive head of the University and of all its departments and exercises such supervision and direction as will promote the efficient operation of the institution. The office is responsible to the Chancellor for the operation and management of the institution and for the execution of all directives of the Board and the Chancellor. The office is also responsible for establishing and ex- ecuting all policy followed at the Univer- sity. A major duty of the president is the recommendation annually to the Board of Regents, through the Chancellor, for the election or re-election of the faculty and other employees of the institution, the salary of each, and all promotions and removals. The president of the institution also has complete authority to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Board, most research and service agreements for the University. I believe The University of Georgia is ready for the challenges of the coming decade. I say this because by every objective and subjective measurement we can ap- ply, the state of the University is excel- lent. Today, the University of Georgia is an absolutely first class teaching institu- tion. Our goal, in all programs, is to in- sure that no student chooses another institution because it offers a better edu- cation than The University of Georgia. The University today has what is perhaps the most extensive public ser- vice program in the country. And The University of Georgia is to- day a world class research university. The rich traditions of The University of Georgia include its consistent perfor- mance in successfully meeting chal- lenges. I have absolutely no doubt it will continue to do so. The University of Georgia is doing everything asked of it in a way that should make every Georgian proud. With the continued support of the society that created it and sponsors it, The University of Georgia will not be found lacking as the future unfolds. ACADEM!CS 29

Administration Robert C. Anderson President For Re The Office of the Vice President for Research coordinates the research program of the University and of the schools, colleges, research institutes, and research centers. It also coordinates the research activities of the University with related activities in federal agencies, busi- ness and industry, and other institutions. The research program is such that The University of Georgia is ranked among the nation ' s fifty leading research universities. Its programs are as varied as the interests of its 2,000 faculty members, but it main- tains research thrusts in such broad areas as food and human health, energy, the pop- ulation explosion, and ecology and the en- vironment. irginia Y.
