Whereas, on June 10, 1910, the University of Georgia organized its graduate

        who became the first dean of the Graduate School;
Whereas the Graduate School has contributed to elevating and maintaining the 
        University of Georgia as one of the preeminent public universities in 
        the United States;
Whereas these contributions are a reflection of the great leadership of the 
        Graduate School's first dean, Dr. Bocock, and those who succeeded him: 
        R.P. Stephens, George H. Boyd, Gerald B. Huff, Thomas H. Whitehead, 
        Hardy M. Edwards, Jr., John C. Dowling, Gordhan L. Patel, and the 
        present dean, Maureen Grasso;
Whereas the Graduate School has grown from 7 students in 1910 to more than 7,000 
        today;
Whereas the Graduate School has awarded master's, specialist, and doctoral 
        degrees to more than 73,000 individuals who occupy leadership roles in 
        school systems, institutions of higher learning, business, government, 
        and nonprofit organizations;
Whereas the Graduate School includes more than 350 fields of study and 
        contributes to new knowledge and advancements in academic research; and
Whereas Graduate School graduates have made significant contributions to the 
        economic development and competitiveness of the State of Georgia and the 
        United States: Now, therefore, be it
