Saturday night (eastern standard time) completing his world flight for a new record. ‘ His appearance, almost an hour earlier than he had been antici pated, was so sudden that the huee throng was startled. The flier was not seen until he came down almost in the center of the field. He landed from the north, taxied his plane to the end of the field and around to the front of the Administration building.

I have no desire to write any article, but I am glad to respend to any request made by the Banner-Herald. I am over my hiad with work trying to integrate the three units in Athens and have little time for any add'tional work. Again, [ am interested in only one thing—to make ihe University of Georg a an oultanding institution—one that will take its place among the best institutions in the country. [t can be, done; ‘t will be dore. It has had a glorious past—let us all work together so that ft shall have a still more glorious future. In unity (here is strength. I have implicit confidence in the Regents, and with (heir combined support and with the aid es so many loyal friends, I shall net permit anything to deter me in my efforts to build a bigger nad better Uni versity. I only ask that my health may not fa'l me, At the annual meeting of the, (R R TN Alumni Society in 1929, the Presi-. dent of the Alumni Society made?‘ a notable address which commend-i ed itself to a large number of the faculty, the alumni, and the tax payers. His address, of course, aroused opposition in certain quar ters. Progress always finds ob stacles in the way, but without progress there is stagnation. There comes a time in the life of an in dividual, a city, a state, a corpor ation, an institution, when it seems wise to abandon a ‘laissez faire” policy and venture into new and untried fields. This ig the policy ‘today of the democratic party. - In response to the address of the President of the Alumni Society, the Alumni Society adopted reso lutions calling for a Board of Be-l gents as the governing body of the University of Georgia and its branches. Such action was no re tleg}}on on the excellent men of eharacter. and ability that consti tuted the 'members of the various bhoards of trustees of the state supported institutions. It was a suggestion that the time had come for a more modern method of con trolling and regulating the affair. of the higher educational system of the state. The press commened favorablyl upon the address. The followirg | spring, the writer of this artlcle| wrote a special arffcle for the Alumni Record calling atten-‘ tion to the chaotic condition of our state higher educa-l tional system. This article at tracted attention to the oxtent‘ that the Macon Telegraph gave it more than a column of editorial comment. ‘This article, of course, aroused antagonism in certain quarters. No one can advocate a ' change in anything without many adverse criticisms. \ The Board of Regents, therefore, is the outcome of the action of the !Alumnl Society of the University of Georgia augmented and sup lported by the press, the educators, and the progressive element :Imong‘ the citizens and tax payers. It is not the result of quick and impul sive action on the part of a few radicals among the alumni and friends of higher education, but is the result of mature deliberation {and thoughtful consideration on the Ipart of those alumni, friends, and | tax payers, who are tired of wait ling for something to turn up. If therefore the creation of a Board of Regents was unwise, the re sponsibility rests upon the alumni )who began the movement and who !should have more love and inter 'ést in the cause of higher educa { tion than, perhaps, any other group 1 of citizens in the state. ! The writer of this article has been a member of the faculty offi the University of Georgia for thir-i ty years and has given the better part of his life to the uphuildinzi of the University of Georgia, :md} 'to education, in general, in the! ! state. He has worked for 2 uni- | |tied system of education from the| ?elementary schools through the| | University, believing that a free | | s l lDf’Ople in a free country support |ing and cherishing free instltu-f tions is the crowning glory of its‘ civilization. . During the thirty years the writ-| er has been a member of the sac- | ulty of the University of Georgla.' { he has seen the following develon-| ments in the physical plant of oldg Franklin College take place: | The erectipn of the first unit in | Miledge Hal dormitory—a giff] from the voters and taxpayers orT Clarke county; Memorial Hall the | tirst building in the United States | lerected and dedicated to the mem- | {ory of the boys who lost their lives | {in the World War—a gift of the | !alumnl and friends: the Com- | | merce-Journalism bullding. an ideat | ibuildh‘lg in every respect for its] ;two major purposes—a gift of the| alumni and friends: the Lumpkin | | Law Sehool, a thing of beauty and | jov forever, largely the result nf’ the untiring efforts of Hughes| Spalding and Harrison Jones and | other wlumni and friends; the Uni- 1 Why A ‘Board Of Regents S. V. SANFORD, President The Un'versity of Georgia vers ty library, a g'‘t from the | Honorable George Peabody, a irus- | tee and loyal friend; the Peabodyi College of BEducation, a gift from the estate of the late George Peu-l body, a friend of education; the Crawford W. Long Infirmary, a gift of the alumni and friends; the Sanford Stadium and Woodruff Hall, an athletic plant made possi-. ble by loyal alumni and friends; and Joseph E. Brown dormitory, the latest word in dormitory struc ture and convenience, and made ‘posslble by a gift by the late Gov ernor Joseph Emerson Brown. All these buildings which have made possible the onward progress of the University have come throug | the sacrifices and the loyalty of ‘the alumni and generous friends. Not a building in these thirty years has been erected on the campus of Franklin College by an appropria tion by the General Assembly. .In view of these facts, it would seem that the alumni and true friends of higher -education would be jus tified in making any suggestions that seemed wise to them in the managemeént and control of the institution they love and | honor. During these thirty years institu | t'ons all over the state have arisen | and prospered by state appropria | tion. Had it not been for a group lot loyal alumni and generous friends, where would the Univer- I sity be: today? 4 I When the Board of Regents was created, there were 26 state sup ’ported institutions in the Univer lslt_\- System. Can any reader of [ this article name them? Can any !header tell where they are located? Can any reader tell how they rank in the educational world? Can any | reader name one of the 26 institu tions with adequate maintenance and with a modrn physical plant? Herein lies the «tragedy. Not a single junior college is eligible for membership in the Southern As sociation of Colleges—the stand ardizing agency for colleges. Are | these 26 institutions state or local | institutions? How many citizens | know anything about the efficiency or the scholastic standing of these institutions? Wild and extrava gant claims are made from time to time, but the true story was told for the first time in the report of ythe Survey Commission. ! Perhaps it was wise to have cre | ated the twelve District A& M |schools. Some of them did excel lent work. Times change and so "ido educational needs. When these I schools had served their day and !g(‘nerution, those interested in !them through local pride brought | presesure to bear on the members ;of the General Assembly and had | them converted into junior col |leges. Whether there was need ;fnr them played no part; whether |they had the necessary equipment, |an adequate faculty jrepared to do |the first two years of college work, ‘or whether they had adequate fin larcial support, to make them | worthy institutions—these impor |tant facts played no part. It is evident that the ambitions of com ! muniies have superseded the broad }er interests of the state. In pass ’ing let it be said that one of the | district schools continued to per |form the mission for which it was | created and did it well. , Since the state did not have ¢’ | ficient rTevenue to maintain such !an extensive higher educational | system and since it had no real iner.d for so many so-called col ?Iegos. why was such an education !porgram allowed? The answer to lthis question is easy. To with ghold support from any proposition ! which may seem to add a feature [to public undertakings. when the ;'fpature seems likely to gratify a | section of our ponulation, is poli hically difficult. To oppose move | ments withjn the educational J'lys {tem, when they are advanced with | the most genuine and sincere pur ipoae. even though they canne’ be sccepted upon any recognizedtheory lof sound public policy for true ed (Continued on Page Six.)
