Planning Ahead The quality of its teachers is the most important single indicator of the quality of education a stu- dent can expect at The University of Georgia. More than 80 percent of the University ' s 1,900 faculty members hold the doctoral degree or highest degree in their field. Faculty members hold leadership positions in large numbers of national and international professional journals. University faculty members receive Guggen- heim fellowships, Fulbright scholarships and other pres- tigious awards to conduct research and participate in scholarly programs thoughout the world. The University ranks among the nation ' s top 50 insti- tutions in total number of faculty members who serve on national advisory councils and committees. Five independent, national studies rank the University of Georgia among the top 50 research universities in the country — one of only three institutions in the South, and only 28 in the nation, to be included in all five reports. More than $80 million was expended on research in 1983-84, almost half from research grants and con- tracts. Research at the University has resulted in such discoveries as a vaccine for Marek ' s Disease which has saved the poultry industry billions of dollars. Researchers at the University are working on develop- ment of new energy sources, undersea mineral explora- tion, better food production, and many social, education- al and economic problems whose solutions are crucial to a better life for all people. The University of Georgia library, a member of the prestigious Association of Research Libraries, has two A«. T m - « ' million books and two million additional microforms in addition to other holdings. The law library ranks among the nation ' s top 20, and the special collections of Georgia and Southern material are unequaled. Student life at the University is more enriching than ever before. The opening of the Dean Tate Student Center in the Fall of 1983 created a new focus for student life. Georgia students with almost any interest — metalsmith- ing, bluegrass music, women ' s rugby, whitewater rafting, Bible study, resident hall advising, political involvement — can pursue that interest in the more than 350 officially recognized clubs on campus. The lihrjry- system Jt the University is outstand- ing. The m in library shown here has two million additional microforms. The law library ranks in the nation ' s top 20. (ABOVE.

Some of the more recent ones are the Tate Student Center, and the Psychology-Journalism complex. (ABO ' E LEFT. Doug Benson ) Vji itrodunion

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

r. i The Cyberplus addition to the new supercom- puter will he installed in 1985 which will give the University of Georgia the largest computing capac- ity of any other computer site in America. (ABOVE. I Photo by Doug Benson.) The University acquired a new Cyber 205 super computer which began operation this year. It op- erates at seven to eight hundred million calcula- tions per second, and is one of only three on American college campuses. (LEFT. Photo by Doug Benson.)
