Deans
Steadman V. Sanford taught the first journalism course at UGA in 1913. Sanford eventually went on to establish the college’s journalism school in 1921 and served as the journalism school’s director until becoming the president of Franklin College and dean of the University in 1926.
John E.Drewry, the second graduate of the journalism program in 1922, succeeded founder S.V. Sanford as director of the journalism school and accepted the position of dean when it was created in 1940. That same year he helped create the Peabody Awards.
Since Drewry's retirement in 1969, the school has had five deans: Among them are Warren K. Agee (1969–1975), Scott M. Cutlip (1975–1983), J. Thomas Russell (1983–2000), and E. Culpepper "Cully" Clark in 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word deans:
“In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“In literary circles, the men of trust and consideration, bookmakers, editors, university deans and professors, bishops, too, were by no means men of the largest literary talent, but usually of a low and ordinary intellectuality, with a sort of mercantile activity and working talent. Indifferent hacks and mediocrities tower, by pushing their forces to a lucrative point, or by working power, over multitudes of superior men, in Old as in New England.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
