DeLand envisioned a great Christian insti- tution where young men and women could receive training for their roles of leadership in the state and nation, the first building was erected on the campus. In 1890, John B. Stetson, on Presentation Day, announced his plan to erect Elizabeth and Stetson Halls. In 1901, Henry Flagler made an anonymous gift of funds to construct Science Hall. In 1906, Andrew Carnegie made a generous grant for a library. There have been other memorable dates for building projects, the most recent being Allen Hall, the cam- pus religious center, built by Florida Baptists in 1950. In 1954, three additional building projects are being undertaken. Five new dormitories, housing 250 men, are scheduled to be ready for occupancy in September. On the some date, the College of Law will move into its million-dollar campus at St. Peters- burg, a project made possible by the contributions of public-spirited citizens of that city, and by out-of- state friends. Before the end of the year, ground will be broken for the first wing of a completely modern library building — including a memorial wing, made possible by local citizens, honoring DeLand heroes of World War II. Yes, 1954 marks the commencement of a new phase of campus development. However, long after the completion of these plans, the influence of you men and women who studied here this year will re- main. We will never forget that the University really exists for you, and those who shall come after you. We shall miss you, but our prayers and our good wishes will go with you. J. OIlie Edmunds, President February 9, 1954 16

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF Looking towards a growing Stetson, the Adminis- tration is ever seeking to promote the spirit of help- fulness towards the student body. The effectiveness of its attitude towards the students is evident by the creation of two new assistant deans. The student organizations have increasingly worked for the de- mands of their constituents. The Administration and Student Officers have worked together to form a background for a better University.
