The Fact Book 1993 Cover Lamar Dodd (b. 1909) ON THE CAMPUS, c. 1939 Oil on canvas, 39 1/2 x 30 inches Arranged through the courtesy of the Georgia Museum of Art Collection of C. L. Morehead, Jr. On the Campus not only gives a stunning perspective of the campus but also has great significance to The University of Georgia because of the artist who created it, Professor Emeritus Lamar Dodd. Without a doubt, Professor Dodd has singlehandedly contributed more to the cause of art at this institution and at the Georgia Museum of Art than any other individual. Born in 1909 and reared in LaGrange, Georgia, Professor Dodd joined the faculty of The University of Georgia in 1937 and a year later became head of the Department of Art, a position he held for the next 35 years. He was responsible for great expansion of the department, its facilities, its staff, and its programs, and was an impetus for the founding of the Georgia Museum of Art in 1948. He remains a strong advocate of the arts in the community and continues his support of the Museum through his contributions as well as his participation as a patron. A prolific and widely honored painter, Professor Dodd has 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 include the NASA space series and the heart surgery paintings. On the Campus was painted shortly after Professor Dodd arrived at the University and portrays the historic North Campus of The University of Georgia. With painterly magic, the artist suggests a contemplative mood with a tranquil scene of students strolling between classes. Trees and lampposts stand as lofty sentinels and symbolize the high purposes and ideals of the University. According to Professor Dodd, "When I painted On the Campus I had two things in mind. One was to capture the spirit of Gothic form in our native architecture and landscape. The other was simply to commemorate my warm pleasure in being back in Georgia."

(fiD -------------1711------------ The University ofGeorgia Office of the President December 10, 1993 Dear Colleagues and Friends: 1 am pleased to present The University of Georgia Fact Book 1993, the 25th edition of this series. Over the years, these Fact Books have clearly documented The University of Georgia's impressive growth and development and thus have traced a portion of its history. I am extremely proud of the University's accomplishments, of the goals we have set and attained, and of the service we render to the state, to the nation, and to the world. I am especially proud of our graduates and their contributions to the larger society and of their loyalties to the University. Our attainments are possible only through the solid effort of the University's many strong supporters. I am grateful to you and appreciate your affirmation of our clearly stated vision of being one of America's best public universities. Sincerely, c;:.,o.J' .-{_1., e ~~<"(1 1 Charles B. Knapp President Lustrat House • Athens, Georgia 30602 • (706) 542-1214 AJ1 Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For 25 years The University of Georgia Fact Book has recorded the University's vital statistics, over the years noting hundreds of thousands of students, faculty, and staff; millions of budget dollars, square feet of space, and library volumes; thousands of courses taught and degrees granted. Small numbers also have been noted as significant. It has often been one publication, one work of art, one signal accomplishment that has brought honor to the University because of profound contribution to the larger society. The lives and activities behind the numbers also offer a significant view of the University, as individuals with unique contributions come together in pursuit of, ultimately, common purpose: the development and support of one of the finest educational institutions in the country. The summary figures themselves have great value. But they cannot dip into the kaleidoscope of individual effort and struggle that forms the heart and soul of great social institutions such as the University. It is therefore to the work of individuals throughout the University that this twenty-fifth edition of The University of Georgia Fact Book is respectfully dedicated. Each year many persons contribute to production of the Fact Book, and I appreciate these contributions. Special acknowledgement and thanks go to the entire staff of Institutional Research and Planning, with special recognition to Deborah L. Holliday, who prepared all final copy, and Hazel S. Landers, who proofread all copy. Once again, University Printing worked carefully on printing the Fact Book. Based upon the number of inquiries IRP and others receive for Fact Book data and for the Fact Book itself, it is judged a valuable resource for those in the immediate University community and for friends and supporters elsewhere. We might speculate on the shape and format of the University's Fact Book 25 years hence. Surely such a record of the work of the University will only increase in value.
