GRADUATE SCHOOL DEAN J. N. ANDERSON U iiiversity of Virginia, '86 CB.Lit., M.A., Pli.D.J The graduate work at the University of Florida dates from the founding of the University in 1905. It was a very modest beginning. For many years . only a few courses were given and a few degrees con- DEAN ANDERSON ferred. In fact, the University itself was small in every way. The faculty was small and the enrollment compared to our present numbers was insignificant. For the first five years, from 1905 to 1910, there was only one faculty, which would now be called the General Faculty. In 1910 President Murphree made a move, which at the time seemed rather pretentious and ambitious, but he was looking toward the future development of the institution. He began the system of dividing the University into several colleges. At the same time, the graduate work was given the name of Graduate School. This work had been administered for a year by a Committee appointed by the President and reporting to the General Faculty. This method of administration lasted from 1909 to 1930. From that time the administration has been in the hands of the Dean of the Graduate School, and the Graduate Council. The growth of the Graduate School has been remarkable. The year 1909-1910 only seven students were enrolled, and one master's degree conferred. In fact, the enrollment did not at any time exceed twelve until the session of 1923-24, when it jumped to twenty- one. That was eighteen years after the beginning of graduate work. Up to that year, the number of graduates had never exceeded Iive. Compare this with the session of 1931- 32, which was onlv eight years later, that year were registered 145 students in the winter session and 150 in the summer session, and graduated 50 students with the master's degree. This year 165 students have already enrolled. In the year 1930, the Graduate Council began to admit students in certain departments to begin their work for the Ph.D. degree, which was not to be conferred before 1933. This year there is one candidate, and from now on there may be reasonably expected one or more candidates for the Ph.D. degree each year. This work has attracted a great deal of atten- tion throughout the nation, and many inquiries are received in regard to the graduate work here.
