DR. JAMES MARION FARR Ph.D. f,loh.11,s Hoplriusj, D. Lift. GRADUATE SCI-IOCDI. Though the graduate school developed slowly in the early days of the University of Florida, in more recent years its stride has been remarkable. In the ten years from 1923 to 1933 its enrollment jumped from 21 to 165. Today it offers a Master's Degree in most of the courses offered in the undergraduate school. The future development of this school may be anticipated with assurance. DEAN TOWNES R. LEIGH Ph.D. fflhicagoj VICE-PRES! DENT Since 1901, when he completed his graduate work at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Farr has been actively con- nected With the University of Florida. He has assisted in its development from a tiny institution at Lake City to its present size and pre-eminence. The honor system of which the University is so proud has been largely the result of his influence. Today he is serving as actively as ever, occupying the dual functions of Vice-President of the University and head of the English Department. 'iffy' ' DEAN J. N.
