the governor Governor LeRoy Collins has the unique distinction of being the only governor of the State of Florida to be. elected for two consecutive terms. He first took office in 1954, when he was elected to fill out the remaining two years of the late Governor Dan McCarty ' s term, and again in 1957 when he was re-elected by an over- whelming first-primary victory. Prior to this, Governor Collins can claim eighteen years of service to Florida in the State Legislature. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1935 and in 1940 was elected to the State Senate. He served in this capacity — except for a tour of duty in the Navy — until his election to the governor- ship in 1954. LeRoy Collins was born in Tallahassee in 1910. In 1932 he married Mary Call Darby, the great-granddaughter of Rich- ard Keith Call, one of the early territorial governors of Florida. The Collinses have four children — Roy, Jr., a recent grad- uate of the Naval Academy, Jane, Mary Call, and Darby. LeRoy Collins

the president Dr. Doak S. Campbe Concluding his sixteenth year as President of the Florida State University, Dr. Doak S. Campbell, one of the nation ' s foremost educators, will retire from an active career in education this year.

On the national scene, Dr. Campbell served as a consultant to President Roosevelt ' s Advisory Committee on Education in 1937, and is a past president of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. He is also recognized as a national authority on curriculum, and has written a great d?al on that subject. In his plans for the future, Dr. Campbell intends to devote more time to the field of education in his writing, and by serving as a consultant in higher education.
