The University of Georgia Fact Book 1994 The Fact Book 1994 Cover October Wind and Sunlight in the Woods Charles Burchfield, ca. 1962-63 Watercolor on paper, 40 x 54 inches Georgia Museum of Art, The University of Georgia University Purchase, 1968, GMOA 68.2352 Charles Burchfield {1893-1967) holds an elusive place in the history of American landscape painting. A quiet and unassuming fellow, Burchfield roamed the back roads of rural Ohio and upstate New York looking for wildflowers to add to his garden, a good spot for a picnic lunch, and places to let his mind and brush run free to paint. He had a small studio in his back yard and five children under foot, yet turned out some of the most powerful and original works of pure spiritual exaltation that have been produced to this time. With several exhibitions of his work recently traveling around the country and a handful of new books about him being released, his work finally is receiving due recognition. October Wind and Sunlight in the Woods is a large watercolor, typical of Burchfield's work done during the last ten years of his life. The painting is pieced together from a smaller work, probably done directly in the woods, with five narrow sheets of paper along the edges to expand the size of the painting. The edges are not painted as carefully as the center, but are used to add a feeling of larger scale to an otherwise close view of a forest interior. A blast of autumn wind fills the air with the last of the brilliantly colored leaves falling from the trees, the crisp light from the nearby field breaking through the tree trunks creating vibrant archways. The foreground brings us into the scene with a butterfly fighting against the strong winds to get to some flowers. One imagines Burchfield sitting in a good spot to have his lunch, watching the wind howl through this stand of trees at the edge of a field, and beginning to paint. The colors are fresh and vibrant, confidently applied, and the simplicity of forms creates a feeling of intimacy between the artist and viewer. He asks us not to linger over any one part of the scene for too long, but to take in the entire event, the struggle, the grace, even the sounds that put us there as viewers.

The 1994 edition, t h e 26th in this series, documents yet another productive and rewarding year. The U niversity's preeminence among national colleges and universities was reaffirmed through its recognition as an outstanding educational value and through national rankings of individual programs. The quality of entering freshmen continued to increase, and an array of new construction projects has been undertaken across the campus. The data presented here represent a broad spectrum of University activities and I am proud of the accomplishments they reflect. I appreciate your continuing support as we become one of America's finest public institutions of higher education. Sincerely, Charles B. Knapp President Lustrat House • Athens, Georgia 30602-1661 • (706) 542-1214 An Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action Institution PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Supposedly a sign hung on Albert Einstein's office wall that said "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." r his pithy statement sheds perspective on the current "Age of Accountability" in higher education, as we count things that move and those that don't -- students, faculty, degrees, and dollars of support. We count and measure the success of our programs, our faculty, and our students, all in an effort to show institutional effectiveness. We hope our counts are valid, reliable, and significant to our objectives. r he thought on Einstein's wall sheds a second perspective, given that we who are involved in higher education consider ourselves enlightened, capable of understanding in depth and of seeing beyond the obvious. We are as we should be able to contemplate our institution and the varying, shifting perspectives that surround and affect it. We can speak to its array of offerings, to its needs, and to its successes and accomplishments. We continue to count, study, and communicate those factors we believe are vital to an excellent educational experience and the environment that supports it. From such perspectives the data contained in The University of Georgia Fact Book 1994 are presented. There is nothing simple about a major research university with an annual budget of almost $600 million with hundreds of majors, thousands of faculty, and tens of thousands of students. There are "bottom lines" more easily comprehended and communicated, but detailed and complex data support bottom lines, the reflection of a complex institution. Institutional Research and Planning maintains and archives valuable institutional data and is proud of this effort and of the Fact Book. Special recognition and appreciation are extended to Deborah L. Holliday, who prepared the copy, and to the many other individuals in Institutional Research and Planning who helped prepare the document. We also appreciate the efforts of other University individuals who provided data. Please contact me if you have questions about the Fact Book or thoughts on additional data that might be included.
