The 2000 Fact Book Cover Larn ar Dodd ( 1909-1996) FROM OUR CAMPUS, 1941 Oil on canvas, 19 1f2 x 27 1J2 inches Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia: Extended loan from the University of Georgia Foundation, Gift of Mary and Lamar Dodd Lamar Dodd was born and reared in LaGrange, Georgia. He joined the faculty of The University of Georgia in 1937. A year later Dodd became the head of the Department of Art and remained in that position for the next 35 years. As the chair, he led the Department in great expansion of facilities, staff, and programs and was the impe­ tus tor the founding of the Georgia Museum of Art in 1948. Without a doubt, Professor Dodd contributed more to the cause of art at the University and at the Georgia Museum of Art than any other individual. Professor Dodd was a prolific painter who had more than one hundred one-man shows, including twenty in New York City. His works have been in major national and regional exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe and are in numerous public collections, including those of the High Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Some of his best known works are the NASA space series and his paintings of heart surgery. While few specifics are known about the background of From Our Campus, it has special significance to the University community because of its subject content. Dodd stated about another painting of the University cam­ pus, On the Campus (c. 1939, UGA Fact Book 1993), that it was in part "simply to commemorate my warm pleasure in being back in Georgia."

The sheer volume associated with the University is almost incomprehensible -- its thousands of academic and research and service programs, thousands of courses offered and degrees granted, millions of square feet of space, and countless educational and service contacts with citizens of Georgia and beyond. Add to these numbers the University's excellence, comprehensiveness, vitality, and productivity, and it is readily apparent that the University of Georgia is one of the finest institutions of higher education in the nation. The 2000 UGA Fact Book provides a snapshot of the University at this exciting time in the institution's history. Its Strategic Plan has been completed and its Self-Study for Reaccreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) is almost complete. New programs are being debated and new initiatives are being developed. To be a part of the University is invigorating. It is with special significance that I thank the many individuals and units across the campus who provide data for the pages of the Fact Book. These associations have extended over many years, with me as the current editor and with Larry G. Jones as the previous editor. For many years Debbie Holliday has updated the pages for publication, and other individuals within Institutional Research & Planning have made strong contributions to the document. I am grateful for the long-term effort and support that has been given to the production of the UGA Fact Book, which has developed into an invaluable institutional resource. We're always pleased to receive comments on the Fact Book. !f you have questions about the data or suggestions for changes, please let us know.
