Declaring that there is evident a definite move
ment of the chemical industry to the South, where
great natural resources and healthy conditions of 1
operation are to be found, Dr. Charles H. Herty, one
of the nation’s foremost chemists, asserted Wednes
day in the annual baccalaureate address at the Uni
versity of Georgia that, if Georgia is to obtain its
share of the wealth it must make preparations now.
Development of the Graduate
School in the University of Geor
gia where students may be trained
{or research, was listed by Dr-
Herty as one of the necessary
steps Georgia must take if it is to
carry off its part of the prixe
which industrial growth has to
offer.
Herty pointed out that the
unity of, Georgia, because of
of facilities f«r * Graduate
School is really not a University.
He declared that the pouring out
into the life of the nation of stu
dents trained for research work
h»s proved one of the most potent
fsetors in “the wonderful progress
of America during the last half
century.”
Research Spirit
"The research spirit is spreading
into all lilies of national life, and
it is primarily the reiponaibillty of
our universities to meet thie de
mand,” he said. Georgia should
not deny its own sons the oppor
tunity to prepare themselvee for
this necessary work In developing
the nation’s resources, Dr. Herty
said, but Georgia cannot offer that
opportunity unless its university
has the facilities to train the stu
dents. f
He declared that the state of
Georgia can ino longer neglect to
provide thq means for this necex-
sary educational work, and recom
mended a bond iuue to “utiliie
the credit of this great state to
equip the University to lend a
quickened bloodstream of highly
trained men and women out into
every part of this beloved Com
monwealth.”
Dr. Herty, who is adviser for the
Chemical Foundation, New Yoyk
City, spoke on “Georgia's Potential
Wealth”
In a very illumlnaitng review of
the progress of the chemical in
dustry and its trend toward the
South, Dr. Herty eald that “Rayon
in essentially a Southern industry,”!
and "aa it la rapidly becoming
one of the iatorld'a greatest textile
materials, we may well inquire 1
what is its economic portent.’’
Another Migration
Dr, Herty pointed out that there
