NEW YORK —(#)— Wiley Post
shot down from the darkness at 11
p. m. 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.
His landing was timed unoffici
ally to give him a world record of
186 hours, 50 mlinutes, nearly 22
hours ahead of the speed he and
Harold Gatty set im 1931.
Mrs. Post was in the crowd that

1 have been asked by the Banner-Herald to write an article upon
the reorganization of the University of Georgia. .I shall write two
articles: (1) Why a Board of Regents, and (2) wWhat ithe Reorganiza

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

among the best institutions in the country. [t can be, done; ‘t will be

shall have a still more glorious future. In unity (here is strength.

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

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- |

gift of the alumni and friends; the

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
