struction had begun on a new classroom-oflSce building, and annexations to Mandeville Hall for Women and to Sanford Library. Early in 1959, a contract was let for the construction of a new warehouse. It will be located just to the west of the Log Cabin on the back campus. Fall quarter of 1958 had a record enrollment of seven hundred and ten. With the completion of the four building projects, West Georgia will have facilities for one thousand students. Because of the record enrollment, many men students have lived this year in the Log Cabin, the Gunn House, Hamm Hall, Rogers Hall, Aycock Hall, and in various apartments and homes in Car- rollton. With the completion of the annex to Man- deville for Women, the men will again occupy Melson Hall. This brings my history to date. I have allowed you to peer into my cloud of memories that you might know that West Georgia is a young school whose potentialities are unlimited. She has ascended one stairway of progress. Tomorrow she will have reached the crest of the mountain of history, for you, my sons and daughters, will lift her there. On March 11 this year the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia granted West Georgia a new degree program. Beginning in Sep- tember the Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in English, mathematics and social science will be of- fered making West Georgia a senior college in every respect. One man ' s dream has at long last been realized.
