Collection-) I tier the Civil War, students at the Uni- crsity remained what they had always been: the white, male offspring of a tiny percentage of the people of Georgia. The real elite still tended to send their sons to schiwls like Har- vard and ale, while the University of Georgia received the children of the middle and upper mid- dle classes. The coming of the Sigma .-Mpha Epsilons in ISoo and the Chi Phis, Kappa . lphas, and several other fraternities started a slow but steady demise in the jwpularily of the old literary socieites. . nother big change came in 18 2 when chemistry professor Charle-. H. Herty introduced football at the Cni- versily. An actual intramural track meet had been held every spring since Reconstruction but now Georgia plunged into intercollcpi.itc alhlolic- atui developed a permanent lo e .ittair with football. The appearance of the r.indor.i (the yearbiHik published by fraternities) in ISSo and the Red and Black student newspaper in IS ' ' . ' added a little more spice to campus life. Even sti, the University remained a rather small, liberal arts college during the administrations of Henry H. Tucker. Patrick Hues Mell, and Wi lliam E. Boggs. In 1874, the Medical College of Georgia in .Augusta became the Medical Department of the University. During McU ' s tenure, the School of Technology in Atlanta was established as a branch of the University, and while Boggs was chancellor, the .Agricultural Ex- periment Station was founded at Athens but soon moved to Griffin. The State Normal School was started in .Athens in 1891 as a State Teachers Col- lege in 1927 and a coordinate campus of the Uni- versity in W3. ' . Chancellor Walter B. Hill (class of 1870), elected in 1899, was the first alumnus to lead the school and the first non-minister in almost a century. He died six years later and was replaced by David C. 10 Introduction

Serving People Up-to-date methods in business, law, education, and other professions reach practioners through the Georgia Center for Continuing Education and other out-reach programs. In size, scope, strength and benefit, the University ' s public service program is recognized as one of the best in the nation. More than 100,000 people come to the Center for conferences, semi- nars, and workshops while thousands more participate in University-sponsored programs throughout the state. The public service compiles more than five million con- tact hours with citizens each year. The Cooperative Extension Service brings needed in- formation and improved methods to Georgia ' s agribusi- ness industries, classrooms, communities, and rural homes. Innovation continues in response to emerging needs of the state and the nation. Special program centers and institutes cut across individual colleges and disciplines ' bringing together backgrounds to focus on society ' s pressing concerns. The Small Business Development Center; the Dean Rusk Center for International and Comparative Law; the Institutes of Community and Area Development, Gov- ernment, Marine Sciences, Ecology, Natural Resources, and Behavioral Research are examples of this interdisci- plinary approach, which generates the creative synergism necessary for dealing with complex problems. From all parts of the country, outstanding students and faculty are drawn to the innovative progress and researc! The coliseum at the University is one of the more unique structures on any campus. Several architects originally thought that the structure would never have enough support to hold the over- hangs. (ABOVE RIGHT. Photo by Doug Benson.) opportunities on campus. Entering freshman score more tj an 130 points above the national norm in the Scholastic Aptitude Test, and the University ranks among the top 20 in the country in the number of National Merit and Achievement Scholars it attracts. More than 95 percent of the graduates of the School of Law passed the Georgia Bar examination in 1981, com- pared with 37 percent statewide. And an exceptionally high percentage of the pre-medical program graduates gain acceptance at top medical schools.

The cover pic- tures the mythical story of Pandora ' s Box for which the book was named. The earliest surviving issue of the student news- paper was printed on April 4, 1903. The copy reads as a play by play of the Georgia-Davidson baseball game which Georgia lost. (LEFT.

In the early 19O0 ' s, the University began to change from a small school into a true university, with larger enrollments, many undergraduate ma- jors, and a number of individual schools and col- leges. The School (now College) of Pharmacy was started in 1903. Three years later, the School of Forest Resources opened. That same year the Con- ner Act created a new, almost independent State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts whose first and only president was Andrew M. Soule. In 1908, the College of Education was founded and the Graduate School was established in 1910 by W.H. Bocock. The School of Commerce (now the College of Business Administration) began in 1912 and the School of Journalism (and Mass Com- munication) in 1915. Just after World War I (in which 47 University- students died), women were first admitted as regu- lar students, and enrollment topped 1,000 for the first time. The women concentrated on such fields as home economics and education and were heav- ily outnumbered by men for years. Phi Mu and Chi Omega were the first sororities, and more quickly followed. These early coeds had to maintain the image of traditional Southern ladies: no smoking in public, hats and gloves dowTitown, dresses on campus (ex- cept for bloomers at P.E.), and strict dorm curfew. Some of these regulations survived into the 1960 ' s. It was at the end of Charles .Mercer Snelling ' s 6- year administration as chancellor that, in 1932, the University System of Georgia was established. A Board of Regents was appointed with an adminis- tration chancellor for the entire system. Steadman Vincent Sanford was elected president of the Uni- versity. The University ' s branch campuses became separate institutions, each with its own president. Introduction 11
