Despite the hardships of life in Florida 75 years ago, ministers and laymen of the Florida Meth- odist Conference, having a deep and abiding inter- est in education, created the East Florida Seminary at Micanopy — historically, the predecessor institu- tion to Florida Southern College. Hope was high for the school ' s future. hut war clouds loomed on the horizon. The con- flict between the States apparently was inevitable. Lincoln, Lee and other immortals of the day searched their souls and prayed for guidance. So, too, did Florida Methodists.

:::::::: MARCHES ON Florida Southern College was conceived in the minds and hearts of dedi- cated churchmen and born out of the struggle of the years. In the pioneer days, despite all the hardships of a frontier, Florida Methodists began their untiring efforts to establish an institution of higher learning. Dedicated men and women overcame almost unsurmountable hardships to pass this torch of Christian education from hand to hand over three-quarters of a century. The light was dimmed and almost extinguished several times, but now the fruits of the labors of these devoted people are in the harvest stage as Florida Southern College stands today as the largest Methodist- related college in the world. The Interlachen salutes the pioneers of this institution. A brief history of these years of toil are offered in this first section. It tells of our college, proud of its heritage, proud of its Methodist foundation, and proud of its men and women who bore the yesterdays to mold the tomorrows. ft €VCU it JiwMit Ce J glH4tln

The times were too perilous for the struggling church sem- inary. Quiet came t Micanopy while cannon boomed in battle. Young men went to war while old men tilled the fields. Educa- tion gave way to sell preservation. The years were long, but finally came the peace and reconstruction, and once again Florida Methodists set themselves to help educate their young ministers.
