I 7 8 5· The University ofGeorgia Fact Bool( 19 8 8 20th Edition The Fact Book 1988 Cover University of Georgia Logo I Featured on the Fact Book 1988 cover is one of three designs created and adopted in 1988 as part of a logo system within the University of Georgia Identity Program. The identity program and logo designs incorporate several University of Georgia attributes: History and tradition in the use of the arch and the 1785 university charter date; academics through the use of the University of Georgia name; and the established red and black colors of the university. A second logo (carried on the letterhead of President Knapp's transmittal letter, pg . iii) is very much like the first, with only a slight change in the line containing the founding date. The third logo features the arch enclosed by a circle over the founding date; it is used on the section divider pages of this year's Fact Book. The purpose of the University of Georgia Identity Program is to present a uniform visual representation of the university and its distinct character through easily recognized and consistent images. The new logo system will replace the innumerable individualized logos and symbols currently in use by university units and groups, although the bulldog and related registered trademarks of the Athletic Department will continue to serve as the traditional symbols of University of Georgia athletics. The logo designs are registered as trademarks, and a set of policies and guidelines has been developed for their appropriate use. Complete details of the University of Georgia Identity Program are available through the Office of the Vice President for Development and University Relations.

UID --------------- I 7 8S --------------- The University ofGeorgia Office of the President Dear Colleagues and Friends: I am pleased to present the 20th annual University of Georgia Fact Book for the year 1988. We can all take great pride in the excellent progress of our University, and this book documents many of the tangible measures of that success. These accomplishments reflect a team effort. Through the cooperative spirit of faculty, staff, students, alumni and the citizens of Georgia, I am confident we will continue that progress. This publication can be an important resource to all those interested in the The University of Georgia. I look forward to continuing to work with you toward our objective of building one of the best public universities in America. Sincerely, ~ ~~ e t<...o.pp Charles B. Knapp President CBK: sfj Enclosure Lustrat House • Athens, Georgia 30602 • (404) 542-1214 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDG EMENTS r he Univers ity of Georgia Fact Book 1988 is the twentieth ed ition of "a pil ot project" which the first editors thought " ... may become an annual publ ication ." First comp il ed and edited by Gary Stock and Nathan Keith, Jr. in 1969, the Fact Book was viewed as a means of providing "factual institutional information [for] preparing grant proposals, developing long-range plans, answering questionnaires, or recruiting new !acuity members," and the basic purpose of the Fact Book remains, as they envisioned it, " ... to present useful objective information about the University of Georgia." Readers and users of the Fact Book over the years have given considerable testimony to the fact that the intent of the first editors has been realized. While the first Fact Book was designed for an audience of "deans, directors, and department heads," it has become a campus-wide publication used as frequently by faculty members as by administrators, and it is quickly becoming a popular university publication for off-campus constituents as well. Unfortunately, it is no more possible in the 20th Fact Book than it was in the first to provide " ... an exhaustive presentation of statistical information about the university," but it is more possible now than then to provide an historical and/or comparative conteX1 for the data, and in many cases, add itional detail for the summary tables is available upon request. r he 20th edition of the Fact Book continues to reflect the work of many people in the university community, and sincere appreciation is eX1ended to those responsible for the noted accomplishments as well as those who help record the facts. Special recogn ition in the production of this year's Fact Book, must go to Dianne Bishop who set the pages using microcomputer software; to Don Snell and Debbie Simmons who made the several micro software packages produce the required format and style; and to the University Printing Department for their efforts in producing the published document. "... Any criticisms, suggestions, or corrections which will improve the usefulness of this publication" are as welcomed and appreciated today as they were 20 years ago when the first editors sol icited such comments.
