REMINISCENCE Twenty seven years ago there was nothing but Thomas Hall, today the University of Florida campus, studded with moss heavy pines, embraces more than a score of beautiful ivy clad buildings The path from a mere handful of scattered students in 1905 to a great institution teaming with life and filled to the overflowing with the flower of the young manhood of the state has been marked by achievement and progress When the University first opened its doors under the prcsi dency of Dr Sledge, it consisted of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Normal School In 1909 we find following in rapid succession the During this year the University underwent a reorganization during which Dr A A M urphree was elected president The ever increasing academic work of the University was interrupted by the lean hard days of the war, when it placed its services at the disposal of the government but the decade of the twenties saw miraculous development It was during this period that the College of Commerce and Journalism the School of Architecture the School of Pharmacy and the Graduate College were inaugurated These years also wit nessed the passing of one great man and the coming of an other Dr J J Tigert succeeded Dr Murphree as president of the University This decade has seen the coming of many new buildings, new minds to the faculty and the enrollment increasing by leaps and bounds The alumni, but a few hundred a decade ago, now are many thousand strong and carry the banner of the institution into nearly every field of endeavor. - The old gives way to the new, the new becomes old and gives way to the new again. We hasten to keep pace with the every quickening movement of our time. The University is young and yet old. But it is a far cry from the sleepy days just following the turn of the century to the atmosphere of today, with its rush and bustle of modern life. It will be a more distant cry twenty-seven years hence, but let us hope and believe that the same fine type of man will trod our campus then as now. Teachers' College and the Colleges of Law and Engineering. sa A any me
