GO ERNOK DANIEL T. McCARTY The GOVERNOR Daniel T. McCarty, Florida ' s thirty-first governor, was born January 18, 1912, in Fort Pierce, Florida. McCarty attended the University of Florida where he made an outstanding record. In 1934 he graduated from the Col- lege of Agriculture and returned home to engage in citrus fruit growing. Subseguently, he became inter- ested in the cattle industry and now raises beef cattle as well as citrus. In 1940, McCarty married Olie Brown and they have three children, Danny, Mike, and Frances Lela. The people of St. Lucie County elected McCarty to represent them in the Florida Legislature in 1937 and re-elected him in 1939 and 1941. He was unanimously elected Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives in 1941 and is the youngest Speaker yet to serve that Body. McCarty was called to active duty in World War II as a lieutenant, later serving in Africa, Italy, France, Germany and Austria. After four and a half years of service, he was released as a full colonel. During his service, he was awarded the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and the French Croix de Guerre. McCarty is a lifelong member of the St. Andrews Episcopal Church of Fort Pierce and has been active in laymen ' s affairs throughout the state. He has served as president of Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, Jaycees, and President ' s Round Table in Ft. Pierce and also was State Chairman for the American Cancer Society. McCarty is an active member of the American Legion, VFW, Masonic Order, Scottish Rites, Shrine, OES, Elks and Moose. The governor has always been partial to outdoor activity and excelled in athletics throughout school and college days. Hunting and fish- ing are still his major recreations. STATE CAPITOL BUILDING

One of the nation ' s outstanding edu- cators serves as president of Florida State University. Dr. Doak Sheridan Campbell is now in his 12th year as president of the University. At FSU there is much evidence of President Campbell ' s leadership. In ad- dition to the tremendous building program and enrollment increases that have come about under his leadership, perhaps the most significant step has been develop- ment from four major academic divisions in 1947 to 15 in 1953. Before coming to Tallahassee, Dr. Campbell was associ- ated with George Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee, for 13 years — first with the Division of Surveys and Field Studies and then as Dean of the Graduate School and Senior College. In 1916, he became vice-president and later president of Central College, Conway, Arkansas. President Campbell has received national recognition in the academic field for his work with junior colleges and curriculum. He was elected in 1921 as secretary of the American Association of Junior Col- leges, a position he held for 17 years. In 1937 he was chosen consultant to Presi- dent Roosevelt ' s Advisory Committee on Education. He is also a past president of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and has always been in the forefront in the development of one of the new trends in higher education — regional education. President Campbell is recognized as one of America ' s leading curriculum authorities and his book Cur- riculum Development, under joint author- ship with Dr. H. L. Caswell, has been the most widely used book on this subject. DR. DOAK SHERIDAN CAMPBELL The PRESIDENT
