THE UNIVERSITY stetson became a college in 1885, two years after its founding. It was named DeLand Academy after Henry A. DeLand, main founder of the town, and later became known as Stetson University in honor of the well-known hat manufacturer who generously endowed the college. The school added a college of music, one of law, and most recently, one of business to become a university. Thirty buildings on the seventy-five-acre DeLand campus house the university ' s varied activities. Elizabeth Hall, shown to the left, is the administra- tive and main classroom building.

STETSON ' S PRESIDENT Homecoming Day February 17, 1961 Memo: To the Stetson Community: As I write these lines, the Trustees of the University have just made one of the most significant decisions ever made by a Stetson governing board — ■ they have given instructions for worlc to be- gin upon the construction of a new build- ing. Of course, the decision to build the new library was made a long time ago, but the resolution to move ahead now was accompanied by a statement that it is the earnest purpose of the Trustees to continue this academic construction program without interruption, once commenced, until all of the faculty ' s other critical needs have been met. Thus, once again, this institution is moving forward on another Venture on Faith. You students of 1961 have much at stake in this up-reach, but I predict that in the years to come you will look back upon these planning days as some of the most exciting of your en- tire life. For the Trustees do expect to consult with you students in all of these plans — just as they consult with parents, churches, and alumni. I am confident that the entire community will welcome this opportunity to help. Faithfully yours, J. OLLIE EDMUNDS President OLLIE EDMUNDS President 18
