( he 6University TOB almost a century, (luring which other parts of the country enjoyed immense prosperity, the State of Florida labored under the great lack of a system of higher education. Within the memory of many now living, however, the people of the State have awakened to the value and |K)ssibilities of this sort of instruction. Through the Legislature, many Acts were passed, creating several small schools, which situated in different parts of the immense territory were quickly found to he inadequate. As a result agitation arose for tin establishment of a real University beneath the palms and pines of the Southern peninsula. Guided by the wisdom of genius the Legislature in the year 1905 adopted what has since become known as the “Buckman Act,” which marks a transition in the history of Florida, in the l egiiming of a modern educational system. This ct merged several of the smaller institutions into the University of Florida and the State College for Women, which have since justly earned a place in the sun of Southern Colleges second to none. Under the able leadership of its second President, Dr. . . Murphrcc, the University advanced in an unprecedented manner to assume a leading place among the Colleges of the Nation. Though young in traditions it has been great in achievement, and the people of this great State are now in a position to send their sons to a University, of whose record they may be justly proud. At the death of Dr. Murphrce the Board of Control in seeking a President to (ill his place saw (it to elect Dr. John J. Tigert. who for some years had headed the Bureau of Faluealioii of the National Government. The choice of the board met with the whole-hearted approval of the State and the Student Body, and the plans and purposes of the new President have justly earned the sup|H rt of all classes of persons interested in the progress of the University. With its destiny guided by such a man the pros| eets of tile University of Florida seem to lie unbounded, and with the cooperation of everyone tin time will come when this school will completely justify tlx claims of its many admirers.
