RECENT  GIFTS  18 


GENERAL  INFORMATION 


RECENT  GIFTS 

Many  of  the  state  educational  institutions  of  the  South 
— ^among  them  those  of  Florida — have  in  recent  years  received 
substantial  gifts.  The  University  feels  confident  that  its 
friends  will  continue  to  help  in  its  upbuilding.  All  gifts,  of 
whatever  nature  or  value,  will  be  gratefully  acknowledged. 

Chair  of  Secondary  Education. — This  opportunity  is  taken 
of  acknowledging  the  annual  gift  by  the  General  Education 
Board,  of  New  York,  of  seventeen  hundred  and  fifty  dollars 
($1,750)  toward  the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  a  Pro- 
fessorship of  Secondary  Education. 

Instructorship  of  Spanish  and  South  American  Affairs. — 
The  University  gratefully  acknowledges  the  gift  from  the  Car- 
negie Foundation  for  International  Peace  of  twelve  hundred 
dollars  ($1,200),  used  in  securing  the  services  of  a  teacher  of 
Spanish  and  of  "South  American  Affairs"  in  the  1915-1918 
sessions  of  the  Summer  School. 

Instructorship  of  Bird-Study. — Thanks  are  tendered  the 
National  Association  of  Audubon  Societies  for  the  courses  in 
Bird-Study  offered  thru  its  instrumentality  during  the  past 
four  summers. 

Scholarships. — No  method  of  contributing  to  the  spread  of 
higher  education  is  more  beneficent  than  to  make  it  possible 
for  a  worthy  but  poor  young  man  to  attend  his  state  univer- 
sity. The  establishment  of  several  scholarships  is  gratefully 
acknowledged — see  pages  34  and  77. 

The  University  here  renders  reverent  and  grateful  homage 
to  the  memory  of  a  former  student,  Arthur  Ellis  Ham,  who 
left  his  studies  to  enter  the  first  Officers'  Training  Camp. 
From  this  he  was  graduated  with  the  rank  of  captain.  After 
months  of  gallant  service  "Somewhere  in  France",  he  fell  in 
battle  at  St.  Mihiel  on  Sept.  14,  1918. 

His  will  provided  that  one  half  of  his  military  insurance 
should  go  to  Smith  College,  of  which  his  widow,  Mrs.  Eliza- 
beth C.  Ham,  is  a  graduate,  and  the  other  half  to  the  Univer- 
sity, to  be  used  in  establishing  at  each  of  these  institutions  "a 


14  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

scholarship  for  the  annual  benefit  of  some  needy  and  deserving 
student".  Mrs.  Ham  at  once  generously  sent  checks  for  the 
full  amount,  five  thousand  dollars  ($5,000)  each,  to  Smith  and 
to  Florida.  The  Board  of  Control  gratefully  accepted  the 
bequest,  and  the  Faculty,  in  its  resolutions  of  sympathy  and 
thanks,  added  that  the  scholarship  should  be  known  as  the 
"Arthur  Ellis  Ham  Memorial  Scholarship". 

Willoughby  Memorial  Scholarship. — The  parents  of  Paul 
Lanius  Willoughby,  a  Junior  student  in  the  Science  course, 
who  died  of  pneumonia  at  the  University  on  Dec.  2,  1918, 
while  serving  in  the  Student  Army  Training  Corps,  offer  for 
the  session  of  1919-20  in  memory  of  their  son,  a  scholarship  of 
$150.00,  payable  in  equal  installments  during  the  College  year, 
to  the  most  deserving  advanced  student  specializing  in  Chem- 
istry, to  be  selected  by  the  Professor  of  Chemistry  and  the 
President  of  the  University.  Further  details  of  this  scholar- 
ship and  application  blanks  for  same  may  be  obtained  from 
the  President  or  Registrar. 

The  University  tenders  its  sympathy  to  Mrs.  Bruce  B. 
Munsell  in  the  death  of  her  husband.  Dr.  Warren  A.  Munsell, 
of  Green  Cove  Springs,  and  at  the  same  time  expresses  thanks 
for  her  gift  to  the  University  of  his  library. 

HISTORY 

Florida  has  always  manifested  interest  in  higher  education, 
and  with  this  in  mind  has  formulated  many  plans  and  estab- 
lished many  institutions.  As  early  as  1824  the  foundation  of 
a  university  was  discussed  by  the  Legislative  Council.  In  1836 
trustees  for  a  proposed  university  were  named,  but  apparently 
accomplished  nothing.     (Memoirs  of  Florida,  1,168.) 

Upon  its  admission  to  the  Union  in  1845,  the  State  was 
granted  by  the  general  government  nearly  a  hundred  thou- 
sand acres  of  land,  the  proceeds  from  which  were  to  be  used 
to  establish  two  seminaries,  one  east  and  one  west  of  the 
Suwannee  River.  This  led  to  the  foundation,  at  Ocala,  in  1852 
of  the  East  Florida  Seminary  and  of  the  West  Florida  Semi- 
nary, at  Tallahassee,  in  1856.  The  former  of  these  institutions 
was,  however,  removed  in  1866  to  Gainesville.  The  State 
Constitution  of  1868  contained  provisions  for  establishing  and 
maintaining  a  university  (Art.  VIII,  Sec.  2),  pursuant  to 
which  the  Legislature  passed  the  next  year  "An  Act  to  Estab- 


HISTORY  16 

lish  a  Uniform  System  of  Common  Schools  and  a  University". 
Other  attempts  to  establish  a  university  were  made  in  1883  by 
the  State  Board  of  Education  and  in  1885  by  the  Legislature. 
Furthermore,  the  State  Constitution,  adopted  later  in  the  year 
1885,  expressly  permitted  special  legislation  with  regard  to  a 
university. 

Meanwhile,  in  1870,  the  Legislature  had,  in  accordance 
with  the  terms  of  the  "Land-Grant  College"  Act  of  Congress 
of  1862,  passed  "An  Act  to  Establish  the  Florida  Agricul- 
tural College".  An  Act  supplementary  to  this  being  passed  in 
1872,  the  State  received  from  the  general  government  ninety 
thousand  acres  of  land  in  support  of  the  proposed  college.  A 
site  for  the  institution  was  selected  in  1873  and  again  in  1875. 
No  educational  work  having  been  accomplished  in  the  "tempo- 
rary college  edifice"  at  its  second  location,  the  trustees  ap- 
pointed a  committee  in  1878  to  decide  upon  a  more  suitable 
situation.  Not  until  1883  was  the  third  site  selected — this 
time,  Lake  City.  Here  in  the  autumn  of  1884  the  work  of 
instruction  was  finally  begun.  An  attempt  was  made  in  1886  by 
this  institution  to  have  its  name  changed  to  the  "University  of 
Florida",  a  title  it  finally  secured  by  the  Legislative  Act  of 
1903.  Before  this,  in  1887,  the  Florida  Agricultural  Experi- 
ment Station  had,  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Hatch 
Act,  been  established  as  one  of  its  departments  and  three  years 
later  the  provisions  of  the  Morrill  Act  provided  a  substantial 
increase  in  its  annual  income. 

During  these  years,  in  addition  to  the  three  mentioned, 
three  other  institutions  of  higher  education,  all  depending 
upon  the  State  for  support,  had  come  into  existence.  These 
were  the  Normal  School,  at  DeFuniak  Springs,  the  South 
Florida  College,  at  Bartow,  and  the  Agricultural  Institute,  in 
Osceola  County.  In  1905,  however,  inasmuch  as  these  six 
institutions  had  failed  to  make  satisfactory  differentiation 
among  themselves  and  to  separate  their  work  sufficiently 
from  that  of  the  high  schools  of  the  State,  and  inasmuch  as  the 
cost  of  maintaining  all  seemed  disproportionate  to  the  results 
obtained,  the  Legislature  passed  the  "Buckman  Act",  the 
practical  effect  of  which  was  to  merge  the  six  into  the  "Florida 
Female  College"  and  the  "University  of  the  State  of  Florida". 
In  1909  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  changed  the  name  of  the 


16  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

one  to  the  "Florida  State  College  for  Women",  of  the  other  to 
the  "University  of  Florida". 

During  the  first  session  of  the  University  a  distinct  Nor- 
mal School,  which  included  two  years  of  Sub-Freshman  grade, 
was  maintained.  In  addition  to  this,  instruction  was  given 
in  agriculture  and  in  engineering,  as  well  as  in  the  usual  col- 
legiate branches.  Candidates  for  admission  to  the  Freshman 
class  must  have  finished  the  eleventh  grade  of  a  high  school. 
The  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  was  a  separate  division, 
altho  members  of  its  Staff  gave  instruction  to  the  students 
and  the  President  of  the  University  acted  as  its  Director.  The 
next  year  the  Staff  of  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station 
were  required  to  devote  their  time  exclusively  to  Station 
activities,  and  Mr.  P.  H.  Rolfs  was  elected  Director.  The  Nor- 
mal School  was  abolished  and  instruction  in  pedagogy  was 
transferred  to  the  University  proper.  Two  years  of  Sub- 
Freshman  work  were,  however,  still  offered. 

Upon  the  election  in  1909  of  Dr.  A.  A.  Murphree  to  the 
presidency,  steps  were  taken  to  reorganize  the  University. 
The  present  organization  dates  from  1910.  The  College  of 
Law  was  added  in  1909  and  the  departments  offering  instruc- 
tion mainly  to  normal  students  were  organized  into  a  college 
in  1912.  In  1913  the  present  entrance  requirements  went 
into  effect.  The  same  year  a  Summer  School  was  established 
at  the  University  by  Act  of  the  Legislature  and  the  Farmers' 
Institute  Work  of  the  University  and  the  Cooperative  Demon- 
stration Work  for  Florida  of  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture  were  combined.  On  July  1,  1915,  all  the  agri- 
cultural activities  of  the  University  were  placed  under  the 
direction  of  the  Dean  of  the  College  of  Agriculture. 

Immediately  after  the  United  States  entered  the  World 
War  the  entire  equipment  of  the  University  was  placed  at  the 
disposal  of  the  Government.  The  ranks  of  the  students  were 
depleted  because  of  the  large  number  who  volunteered  for 
service.  During  the  summer  of  1918  the  College  of  Engineer- 
ing was  operated  as  the  "University  of  Florida  Army  School", 
for  the  vocational  training  of  successive  detachments  of  sol- 
diers. At  the  opening  of  the  session  of  1918-1919  all  the 
regular  activities  of  the  University  were  subordinated  to  the 
task  of  training  men  for  the  armed  forces  of  the  United  States. 
Besides  two  companies  in  the  "Vocational  Unit",  there  were 


INCOME  17 

a  naval  division  and  two  full  infantry  companies  of  the  Stu- 
dent Army  Training  Corps.  On  Dec.  14,  1918,  upon  the 
mustering  out  of  the  S.  A.  T.  C,  the  University  again  took  up 
its  regular  work,  altho  it  made  liberal  allowance  in  credits  to 
students  for  the  interruption  of  their  studies  caused  by  mili- 
tary service.  During  the  whole  period  of  the  war  many  of 
the  Faculty  were  individually  active  in  Government  work  or  in 
the  various  Red  Cross,  United  War  Work,  and  like  campaigns. 

LOCATION 

On  the  6th  day  of  July,  1905,  acting  under  powers  con- 
ferred by  the  Buckman  Act,  the  State  Board  of  Education  and 
the  Board  of  Control,  in  joint  session,  selected  Gainesville  as 
the  location  for  the  University.  During  the  scholastic  year 
of  1905-06,  it  was  found  necessary  to  carry  on  the  work  of 
the  University  at  Lake  City.  Since  the  summer  of  1906  the 
institution  has  occupied  its  present  site. 

The  advantages  that  Gainesville  presents  as  the  seat  of 
the  University  are  numerous.  It  is  centrally  located  and  easy 
of  access.  It  has  well-paved,  lighted,  and  shaded  streets,  an 
exceptionally  pure  water  supply,  and  a  good  sewerage  system. 
The  citizens  are  energetic,  progressive,  and  hospitable.  The 
moral  atmosphere  is  wholesome  and  for  years  the  sale  of 
intoxicants  has  been  prohibited  by  law.  The  leading  religious 
denominations  have  attractive  places  of  worship. 

INCOME 

The  annual  income  of  the  University,  apart  from  Legisla- 
tive appropriations,  is  derived  principally  from  the  following 
Federal  grants:  (a)  The  "East  Florida  Seminary  Fund", 
amounting  to  about  two  thousand  dollars  ($2,000) ;  (b)  the 
"Agricultural  College  Fund"  bonds,  yielding  about  seventy- 
seven  hundred  dollars  ($7,700)  ;  (c)  one-half  of  the  "Morrill 
Fund",  amounting  to  twelve  thousand  five  hundred  dollars 
($12,500)  ;  (d)  one-half  of  the  "Nelson  Fund",  yielding  twelve 
thousand  five  hundred  dollars  ($12,500).  The  total  income 
thus  derived  amounts  to  thirty-four  thousand  seven  hundred 
dollars  ($34,700). 

For  the  support  of  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station 
the  Federal  government  makes  two  annual  grants:   (a)  the 


18  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

"Hatch  Fund"  and  (b)  the  "Adams  Fund".    Each  of  these 
amounts  to  fifteen  thousand  dollars  ($15,000) .

Fund,  and  Division  of  University  Extension. 

EQUIPMENT 
GROUNDS  AND  BUILDINGS 

The  University  occupies  a  tract  of  six  hundred  and  four 
acres,  situated  in  the  western  extremity  of  Gainesville.  Ninety 
acres  of  this  tract  are  devoted  to  campus,  drill-grounds,  and 
athletic  fields;  the  remainder  is  used  by  the  College  of  Agri- 
culture. 

The  University  is  one  of  the  few  institutions  in  the  United 
States  that  made  plans  before  laying  the  foundation  of  a  single 
building  for  all  future  development  of  the  campus,  as  far  as 
this  could  be  foreseen.  Consequently  the  campus  presents  an 
harmonious  appearance.  The  liberality  of  the  State  has  per- 
mitted the  erection  of  buildings  as  fast  as  they  were  needed. 
They  are  lighted  with  electricity,  supplied  with  city  water,  and 
furnished  with  modern  improvements.    These  buildings  are: 

The  two  Dormitories,  Thomas  Hall  and  Buckman  Hall, 
brick  and  concrete  structures,  three  stories  in  height,  sixty  feet 
in  width  and  three  hundred  and  two  hundred  and  forty  feet, 
respectively,  in  length.  They  are  built  in  fireproof  sections, 
each  containing  twelve  suites  of  dormitory-rooms  and  on  each 
floor  of  each  section  a  shower-bath,  lavatory,  and  toilet.

Value. — The  value  of  the  property  used  for  the  work  of 
the  University  is  about  $700,000. 

LIBRARY 

The  general  Library  contains  about  20,000  volumes.  Ad- 
ditional books  are  purchased  as  fast  as  funds  are  available. 
An  effort  is  being  made  to  place  on  the  shelves  all  books  ex- 
tant relating  to  Florida  history. 

The  books  are  catalogued  and  shelved  according  to  the 
Dewey  system,  making  them  readily  available  for  reference. 
Students  are  encouraged  to  use  the  card  catalogs,  which  are 
arranged  alphabetically,  both  according  to  authors  and  to 
subjects,  and  by  free  access  to  the  stacks  to  become  familiar 
with  the  books  themselves.  The  librarian  or  an  assistant 
is  in  attendance  to  explain  the  arrangement  of  books  and 
to  aid  in  reference  work.  A  taste  for  literature  and  informa- 
tion is  being  developed  in  many  students  who,  before  entering 
the  University,  have  not  had  access  to  a  good  library. 

As  a  designated  depository  of  Federal  documents,  the 
Library  receives  each  year  several  hundred  volumes  of  valu- 
able government  publications.  Files  are  kept  of  all  Florida 
State  publications  and  of  the  bulletins  and  reports  of  the 
Agricultural  Experiment  Stations  thruout  the  Union. 


EQUIPMENT  21 

In  the  reading-room  are  one  hundred  and  thirty  of  the  best 
general  and  technical  periodicals.  The  back  numbers  of  these 
are  bound  and  kept  on  file  and  the  early  volumes  purchased 
whenever  they  can  be  obtained  and  funds  permit.  Here  also 
are  received  the  leading  newspapers  of  the  State.  County 
papers  are  added  to  the  list  at  the  request  of  students. 

The  technical  departments  possess  special  libraries,  housed 
in  their  respective  buildings,  but  accessible  to  all  members  of 
the  University. 

MUSEUM 

The  University  Museum  occupies  rooms  in  Science  Hall. 
Its  functions  are  to  embody  the  material  of  a  State  museum ; 
to  collect  and  preserve  a  complete  representation  of  the  his- 
tory of  the  State  of  Florida,  both  natural  and  civil :  the  natural 
history  to  be  represented  by  collections  of  the  minerals,  the 
flora,  and  the  fauna;  the  civil  by  material  illustrating  the 
advancement  of  civilization  in  the  State,  together  with  the 
economic  natural  resources. 

The  collections  include  more  than  two  hundred  and  fifty 
mounted  birds,  six  hundred  bird  skins,  about  one  hundred  bird 
nests,  and  nearly  eight  hundred  sets  of  bird  eggs,  nearly  five 
hundred  snakes  and  lizards,  about  seventeen  thousand  shells, 
ten  thousand  prehistoric  Indian  relics,  several  thousand  fos- 
sils, about  one  hundred  casts  of  rare  fossils,  about  one  hundred 
minerals,  more  than  two  thousand  insects,  and  a  number  of 
historic  relics. 

The  Museum  is  open  to  students  and  the  public  every  week- 
day afternoon  from  one-thirty  to  five,  during  which  hours  the 
curator  will  be  pleased  to  meet  and  assist  visitors. 

LABORATORIES 

The  following  laboratories  are  maintained  by  the  Univer- 
sity: 

The  Agricultural  Laboratories  and  the  other  agricultural 
equipment  will  be  found  fully  described  under  the  General 
Statement  of  the  College  of  Agriculture. 

The  Botanical  Laboratory  contains  enough  dissecting  mi- 
croscopes and  instruments  and  Bausch  and  Lomb  compound 
microscopes,  magnifying  from  80  to  465  diameters,  for  the 
individual  use  of  the  students ;  a  Zeiss  binocular  microscope ;  a 
large  compound  miscroscope  of  very  high  power;  two  demon- 


22  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

stration  microscopes;  and  a  Mcintosh  stereopticon,  with  pro- 
jection microscope  attachment.  For  work  in  histology  there 
are  hand  microtomes,  section  knives,  a  sliding  microtome. 
Miller's  paraffin  bath,  and  a  supply  of  reagents,  stains,  and 
mounts ;  for  studies  in  physiology  there  are  germination  boxes, 
nutrient  jars,  an  osmometer,  a  clinostat,  etc.  An  herbarium 
has  been  started,  to  which  students  each  year  add  specimens, 
which  they  collect,  identify,  and  mount.  A  case  of  reference 
books  and  periodicals  is  in  the  laboratory  within  easy  reach. 

The  Chemical  Laboratory  is  equipped  with  the  apparatus 
and  material  necessary  for  instruction  in  general  inorganic 
and  organic,  analytical  and  industrial  chemistry,  as  well  as 
for  advanced  work.  It  contains  two  delicate  balances,  a  latest 
model  polariscope,  microscope  and  spectroscope,  ample  plat- 
inum ware  (crucible  dishes,  electrodes,  wire,  and  foil)  and 
many  special  pieces  of  apparatus  for  illustrating,  upon  the  lec- 
ture table,  chemical  principles.  The  equipment  is  modem  in 
every  respect  and  can  be  used  to  the  best  advantage. 

The  Dynamo  Laboratory,  providing  for  practical  instruc- 
tion on  electrical  machinery,  occupies  a  portion  of  Engineering 
Hall.  The  principal  machines  are  a  10-KW  Type  ACS  General 
Electric  synchronous  converter,  a  25-KW  General  Electric 
Type  IB  direct  current  generator,  a  1-HP  Westinghouse  Type 
R  motor,  a  1-KW  synchronous  motor,  and  two  2-KW  Westing- 
house  Type  S  dynamos,  designed  to  be  used  either  as  genera- 
tors or  as  motors.  The  switchboard  panel  for  each  machine  is 
placed  near  it,  but  is  connected  to  terminals  on  a  main  distri- 
bution board  for  the  whole  laboratory.  Power  is  supplied  by 
a  10-HP  single  phase  Wagner  induction  motor,  connected  vidth 
the  city  alternating  current  supply  and  driving  the  main  shaft 
of  the  laboratory.  The  various  machines  are  driven  from  this 
shaft,  and  can  be  thrown  in  or  out  by  friction  clutches. 

The  laboratory  is  also  supplied  with  transformers,  several 
types  of  arc  lamps,  and  numerous  measuring  instruments  of 
different  ranges,  chiefly  of  Weston  make. 

The  Geological  Laboratory  contains  the  U.  S.  Geological 
Survey  Educational  Series  of  rocks.  Students  of  historical 
geology  are  provided  with  a  collection  of  fossils  illustrating 
the  distribution  and  development  of  organisms.  For  the  study 
of  mineralogy  there  is  a  blowpipe  collection  of  one  hundred 
selected  mineral  species,  an  accessory  blowpipe  collection  of 


EQUIPMENT  23 

miscellaneous  minerals,  a  collection  of  fifty  natural  crystals, 
and  a  reference  collection  of  choice  mineral  specimens. 

The  Physical  Laboratory  is  well  equipt  with  apparatus 
and  meets  the  needs  of  such  undergraduate  work  in  physics  as 
is  usually  carried  on  in  the  best  American  colleges. 

The  entire  third  story  of  Engineering  Hall  is  devoted  to 
the  department  of  physics,  as  well  as  a  lecture-room  on  the 
second  story,  seating  147,  and  provided  with  projection  lan- 
tern. The  quarters  on  the  third  story  include  a  main  laborar 
tory,  53  by  27  feet ;  an  electrical  laboratory,  42  by  26  feet ;  an 
optical  room,  22  by  15  feet,  arranged  so  as  to  be  effectively 
darkened;  an  office  and  private  laboratory,  26  by  19  feet;  a 
workshop  and  apparatus  room,  42  by  19  feet;  a  classroom, 
24  by  22  feet ;  and  a  number  of  storerooms.  Water,  gas,  and 
several  electrical  circuits  are  led  to  all  of  the  rooms. 

The  Psychological  Laboratory  occupies  six  rooms  on  the

ADMINISTRATION 

Board  of  Control. — The  general  government  of  the  Uni- 
versity is  vested  by  law  in  a  Board  of  Control  consisting  of 
five  members  from  various  parts  of  the  State,  appointed,  each 
for  a  term  of  four  years,  by  the  Governor  of  Florida. 

The  Board  of  Control  appoints  the  President  and,  upon  his 
nomination,  elects  members  of  the  Faculties,  directs  the  gen- 
eral policies  of  the  University,  and  supervises  the  expenditure 
of  its  funds.  The  Board  also  prescribes  the  requirements  for 
admission,  with  the  advice  of  the  President  and  Faculties,  and 
upon  their  recommendation  confers  degrees. 

President. — The  direct  administration  of  all  affairs  of  the 
University  is  in  the  hands  of  the  President. 

Deans. — As  executive  head  each  coydge  of  the  Univer-

form  a  council  of  administration,  with  the  following  functions : 
To  lay  out  new  lines  of  work,  inaugurate  new  enterprises  in 
general,  and  to  prepare  the  annual  budget;  and  to  act  as  the 
judicial  body  of  the  General  Faculty  on  cases  of  general  dis- 
cipline not  under  the  authority  of  the  colleges,  on  new  courses 
of  study  and  changes  in  existing  courses,  bringing  these  mat- 
ters before  the  Board  of  Control,  and  on  questions  of  college 
action  referred  to  it  by  any  member  of  the  General  Faculty. 

Faculties. — The  General  Faculty  includes  all  persons  en- 
gaged in  the  work  of  instruction  in  the  University,  except  labo- 
ratory and  undergraduate  assistants.  Under  the  leadership  of 
the  President,  it  forms  the  governing  body  in  all  general  mat- 
ters of  instruction  and  discipline. 

The  Faculty  of  a  college  consists  of  those  members  of  the 
General  Faculty  who  give  instruction  in  it.  Under  the  leader- 
ship of  its  Dean,  it  forms  the  governing  body  in  matters  of 
instruction  and  discipline  in  its  college.

Supervision. — An  Officer  in  Charge,  occupying  quarters 
in  one  of  the  dormitories,  has  immediate  supervision  of  the 
general  life  of  the  student-body. 


28  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

Offenses  Against  Good  Conduct. — Any  offense  against 
good  conduct,  in  the  ordinary  meaning  of  the  word,  renders 
a  student  liable  to  discipline,  whether  or  not  a  formal  rule 
against  the  offense  has  been  published. 

The  following  offenses  will  be  treated  with  special  sever- 
ity: Disrespect  to  an  officer  of  the  University;  wanton  de- 
struction of  property ;  gambling ;  drunkenness ;  having  intoxi- 
cating liquors  or  revolvers  in  possession  on  the  University 
grounds. 

The  use  of  intoxicating  liquors  at  student  functions  of  any 
kind,  by  student  groups,  or  by  individual  students,  either  on 
or  off  the  campus,  is  strictly  forbidden. 

Hazing. — No  form  of  hazing  will  be  tolerated  in  the  Uni- 
versity and  no  student  will  be  assigned  to  a  room  in  a  dormi- 
tory until  he  has  been  matriculated  and  has  signed  the  fol- 
lowing, pledge:    •    ,,    ,i   .' ^  ,,

Absewce5.-!-tA  $>^.ud«3ut  who  accun^iilates  ten  unexcused  ab- 
sences from  classes,  or  three  unexcused  absences  from  drill, 
will  be  given  a  severe  reprimand  and  parent  or  guardian  will 
be  notified.  Two  additional  unexcused  absences  will  cause  the 
student  to  be  dismissed  from  the  University.  Ten  unexcused 
absences  from  Chapel  will  subject  all  students,  except  Seniors 
and  those  in  the  College  of  Law,  to  the  same  penalty. 

Attendance  Upon  Duties. — A  student  who,  without  good 
cause,  persistently  absents  himself  from  his  University  duties, 
is,  after  due  warning,  dishonorably  dismissed  for  the  re- 
mainder of  the  academic  year.  A  student  who,  by  reason  of  ill 
health  or  outside  demands  upon  his  time,  finds  it  impossible  to 
give  regular  attention  to  his  University  duties,  is  requested  to 
withdraw ;  but  such  request  does  not  in  any  way  reflect  upon 
his  good  standing. 

Delinquencies  in  University  duties  are  reported  to  the 
Registrar,  who  brings  them  to  the  attention  of  the  students 
concerned  and  requires  a  prompt  explanation  to  be  made. 
Careful  records  of  all  delinquencies  are  kept. 

STUDIES 

Assignment  to  Classes. — Every  student  must  appear  b^ 
fore  the  Dean  of  his  college  at  the  beginning  of  each  academic 


GOVERNMENT  27 

year  for  assignment  to  classes.  No  instructor  has,  except  as 
authorized  by  the  Dean  of  his  college,  authority  to  enroll  a 
student  in  any  course. 

Choice  of  Studies. — The  choice  as  to  which  one  of  the 
various  curricula  is  to  be  pursued  rests  with  the  individual 
student,  subject  to  considerations  of  proper  preparation ;  but 
the  group  of  studies  selected  must  be  that  belonging  to  one  of 
the  regular  years  in  the  chosen  curriculum  exactly  as  an- 
nounced in  the  catalog,  unless  special  reasons  exist  for  de- 
viating from  this  arrangement.  A  student  will,  however,  be 
held  to  the  requirements  of  the  catalog  under  which  he  en- 
tered. 

Conditions. — A  student  who  is  prepared  to  take  up  most 
of  the  studies  of  a  certain  year  in  a  regular  curriculum,  but 
who  is  deficient  in  some  studies,  will  be  permitted  to  proceed 
with  the  work  of  that  year  subject  to  the  condition  that  he 
make  up  the  studies  in  which  the  deficiency  occurs.  Provi- 
sion for  all  of  the  lower  studies  must  be  made  before  any  of 
the  higher  may  be  taken;  in  the  event  of  conflicts  in  the 
schedule  or  of  excessive  quantity  of  work,  higher  studies  must 
give  way  to  lower. 

Quantity  of  Work. — A  minimum  and  maximum  num- 
ber of  recitation  hours  (or  equivalent  time  in  laboratory 
courses)  per  week  are  prescribed  in  each  college  and  no 
student  may  take  fewer  than  the  minimum  or  more  than  the 
maximum,  except  by  special  permission  of  the  Faculty  of  his 
college.  Not  counting  Military  Science,  these  numbers  are: 
In  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  and  in  the  College  of  Law, 
15  and  18;  in  the  College  of  Agriculture,  16  and  23;  in  the 
College  of  Engineering,  16  and  21;  and  in  the  Teachers  Col- 
lege, 15  and  19. 

Two  hours  of  laboratory  work  are  considered  equivalent  to 
one  hour  of  recitation. 

Extra  Studies. — Students  may  be  allowed,  under  certain 
conditions,  to  take  more  hours  of  work  than  are  prescribed. 
The  regulations  governing  this  vary  in  the  different  colleges ; 
in  every  case  special  permission  must  be  secured  from  the 
Dean  of  the  college  in  which  the  student  is  registered. 

Changes  in  Studies. — After  a  student  is  registered,  he 
is  not  permitted  to  discontinue  any  class  or  to  begin  any 
additional  one,  without  written  permission  from  the  Dean  of 


28  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

his  college,  which  must  be  shown  to  the  instructor  involved. 
If  the  student  has  been  registered  for  two  weeks,  he  will  not 
be  permitted  to  make  any  such  change,  except  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  second  semester,  without  the  payment  of  a 
fee  of  two  dollars  ($2.00). 

Grades  and  Reports. — Each  instructor  keeps  a  record  of 
the  quality  of  work  done  in  his  classes  and  monthly  assigns 
each  student  a  grade,  on  the  scale  of  100.  This  grade  is 
reported  to  the  Registrar  for  permanent  record  and  for  entry 
upon  a  monthly  report  to  the  student's  parent  or  guardian. 

If  the  monthly  grades  of  a  student  are  unsatisfactory,  he 
may  be  required  to  drop  some  of  his  studies  and  substitute 
those  of  a  lower  class,  or  he  may  be  required  to  withdraw  from 
the  University. 

Examinations.— Examinations  on  the  ground  covered  are 
held  at  the  end  of  each  semester. 

Failure  in  Studies. — A  final  grade  for  each  semester's 
work  is  assigned,  based  upon  the  examination  and  the  monthly 
grades.  If  this  grade  falls  below  75,  the  student  is  considered 
to  have  failed  and  may  proceed  only  subject  to  a  condition  in 
the  study  in  which  failure  has  occurred. 

Re-examinations. — A  student  who  has  failed  in  the  work 
of  a  semester  is  allowed,  in  case  his  grade  does  not  fall  below 
60,  to  make  up  the  condition  by  re-examination,  on  the  first 
Saturday  of  March  or  the  first  Saturday  of  October.  Only 
one  re-examination  in  any  subject  is  allowed ;  in  case  of  failure 
to  pass  this,  the  student  must  repeat  the  semester's  work  in 
that  subject. 

Degrees. — The  special  requirements  for  the  various  de- 
grees offered  by  the  University  will  be  found  under  the  Gen- 
eral Statement  of  the  Graduate  School  and  of  each  of  the  five 
colleges.     The  following  regulations  apply  to  all  colleges: 

While  pursuing  studies  leading  to  a  degree  a  student  must 
be  registered  in  the  college  offering  that  degree. 

Two  degrees  of  the  same  rank,  as,  e.g.,  B.S.C.E.  and 
B.S.E.E.,  will  not  be  conferred  upon  the  same  individual,  un- 
less the  second  degree  to  be  conferred  represents  at  least  fif- 
teen hours  of  additional  work. 

Special  Students. — Students  desiring  to  take  special 
courses  will  be  allowed  to  take  those  classes  for  which  they 
may  be  prepared.    Such  students  are  subject  to  all  the  laws 


GOVERNMENT  29 

and  regulations  of  the  University.  Special  courses  do  not 
lead  to  a  degree. 

The  University  permits  special  courses  to  be  taken  solely 
in  order  to  provide  for  the  occasional  exceptional  requirements 
of  individual  students.  Abuse  of  this  privilege,  for  the  sake 
of  avoiding  regular  studies  that  may  be  distasteful,  cannot  be 
tolerated.  Accordingly,  no  minor  is  permitted  to  enter  as  a 
special  student  except  upon  written  request  of  his  parent  or 
guardian.  Minor  special  students  must,  except  as  provided 
for  in  the  College  of  Agriculture,  offer  fourteen  units  for 
admission. 

Adult  Specials. — Persons  21  years  of  age  or  over  who 
cannot  offer  all  the  entrance  requirements,  but  give  evidence 
of  serious  purpose  and  of  ability  to  profit  by  the  courses  they 
may  take,  may,  under  exceptional  circumstances,  be  admitted 
as  "Adult  Specials".  Such  students  appear  before  the  Com- 
mittee on  Admission  for  enrollment  and  are  not  excused  from 
military  duty;  altho,  if  more  than  twenty-three  years  of  age, 
they  may,  under  certain  conditions,  secure  exemption  (see 
Department  of  Military  Science  and  Tactics,  College  of  Arts 
and  Sciences) . 

When  Special  Students  make  up  their  deficiencies  they 
may  become  regular  students  and  candidates  for  a  degree. 

Classification  of  Irregular  Students.  —  A  student  is 
deemed  to  belong  to  that  class  in  which  the  majority  of  his 
hours  of  work  lies.  But  a  special  student  is  not  considered  as 
belonging  to  any  of  the  regular  classes. 

ATHLETIC  TEAMS,  MUSICAL  AND  OTHER  CLUBS 

Absences  on  Account  of  Athletics,  etc. — The  members 
of  regular  athletic  teams,  of  musical  and  of  other  student 
organizations,  together  with  necessary  substitutes  and  man- 
agers, are  permitted  to  be  absent  from  their  University  duties 
for  such  time,  not  to  exceed  nine  days  per  semester,  as  may 
be  necessary  to  take  part  in  games,  concerts,  etc.,  away  from 
Gainesville.  All  class-work  missed  on  account  of  such  trips 
must  be  made  up,  as  promptly  as  possible,  at  such  hours  as 
may  be  arranged  by  the  various  professors. 

Schedules. — Schedules  of  games,  concerts,  etc.,  must  be 
arranged  so  as  to  interfere  as  little  as  possible  with  Uni- 
versity duties.    Schedules  of  games  must  receive  the  approval 


30  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

of  the  Committee  on  Athletics ;  schedules  of  concerts,  of  dra- 
matic entertainments,  etc.,  the  approval  of  the  Committee  on 
Student  Organizations. 

All  regular  games  will  be  played  under  the  rules  of  the 
Southern  Intercollegiate  Athletic  Association. 

Eligibility  to  Athletic  Teams,  Musical  Clubs,  etc.— 
Any  team  or  club  representing  the  University  must  be  com- 
posed exclusively  of  students  in  good  standing,  altho  the  Com- 
mittee on  Student  Organizations  has  the  power  to  waive  this 
regulation  in  the  case  of  dramatic  and  musical  organizations. 
Negligence  of  duties,  or  failure  in  studies,  excludes  a  student 
from  membership  in  all  such  organizations. 

No  minor  student  is  permitted  to  play  on  any  regular  ath- 
letic team,  if  his  parent  or  guardian  objects.  A  list  of  players 
and  substitutes  must  be  submitted  to  the  Committee  on  Ath- 
letics before  each  game  and  must  receive  its  approval. 

Finances. — The  general  Faculty  has  made  the  following 
rules : 

All  student  organizations  desiring  to  collect  funds  for  any  purpose 
whatsoever  on  the  campus  must,  unless  such  organizations  be  under 
other  Faculty  control,  first  secure  written  permission  from  the  Committee 
on  Student  Organizations. 

No  profits  are  to  be  taken  by  the  officers  of  any  student  organiza- 
tion that  makes  its  appeal  for  funds  on  the  basis  of  its  being  a  University 
enterprise. 

At  least  once  a  year  student  organizations  engaging  in  financial 
operations  must  have  their  accounts  audited  by  the  Committee  on 
Student  Organizations  and  must  publish  in  the  Alligator  a  statement 
of  their  receipts  and  expenditures. 

HONORS 

Phi  Kappa  Phi.— A  chapter  of  the  Society  of  Phi  Kappa 
Phi  was  established  at  the  University  during  the  spring  of

EXPENSES 

University  Charges. — Tuition. — A  tuition  fee  of  forty 
dollars  ($40.00)  per  year  is  charged  every  student  registered 
in  the  College  of  Law.  In  the  other  colleges  a  student  whose 
legal  residence  is  in  Florida  is  subject  to  no  charge  for  tuition ; 
a  student  who  is  not  a  legal  resident  of  the  State  is  required 
to  pay  a  tuition  fee  of  twenty  dollars  ($20.00)  per  year.

scholarship  student  from  each  county  in  Florida  and  all  gradu- 
ate students  pursuing  work  leading  to  a  higher  degree  than 
that  of  Bachelor.  These  two  classes  of  students  are  charged 
five  dollars  ($5.00). 

The  scholarships  referred  to  are  to  be  obtained  from 
County  Superintendents  of  Public  Instruction  and  must  be

An  additional  fee  of  two  dollars  ($2.00)  is  required  of 
students  who  enter  after  the  day  scheduled  for  registration. 

Damage  and  Laboratory  Fee. — In  order  to  secure  the  Uni- 
versity against  damage,  and  to  pay  for  materials  used  by  stu- 
dents in  laboratory  courses,  the  sum  of  five  dollars  ($5.00)  is 
charged.  No  part  of  this  fee  will  be  refunded  to  students 
taking  laboratory  courses. 

Damage  known  to  have  been  done  by  any  student  will  be 
charged  to  his  individual  account. 

Infirmary  Fee. — A  student  whose  parent  or  guardian  does 
not  reside  in  Gainesville,  is  charged  an  infirmary  fee  of  three 
dollars  ($3.00) .  This  secures  for  the  student,  in  case  of  illness, 
the  privilege  of  a  bed  in  the  infirmary,  necessary  medicines, 
and  the  services  of  the  resident  nurse.

furnished  at  the  rate  of  $16.00  per  calendar  month,  payable 
in  advance.    No  part  of  this  sum  will  be  refunded. 

Furniture. — All  rooms  are  partly  furnished  and  adjoin 
bathrooms  equipt  with  marble  basin  and  shower  with  both 
hot  and  cold  water.  The  furniture  consists  of  two  iron  bed- 
steads and  mattresses,  chiffonier  or  bureau,  table,  wash-stand, 
and  chairs.  The  students  are  required  to  provide  pillows,  bed- 
ding, half-curtains,  and  mosquito-bar. 

Uniform. — Students  in  the  military  department  are  re- 
quired to  provide  themselves  with  the  prescribed  uniform, 
which  is  furnished  under  contract.  This  uniform  may  be  worn 
at  all  times.    The  total  cost  is  about  $31.00. 

Books. — The  cost  of  books  depends  largely  upon  the  course 
taken,  but  is,  in  no  case,  a  large  item  of  expense,  tho  in  the 
higher  classes  the  student  is  encouraged  to  acquire  a  few 
works  of  permanent  value. 

Summary. — The  following  statement  summarizes  the  min- 
imum expenses  of  a  Florida  student  registered  in  any  college 
save  in  that  of  Law : 

Tuition  $000.00 

Registration  and  Contingent  Fee 10.00

FELLOWSHIPS  S8 

Students  who  are  exempt  from  buying  uniforms  will  de- 
duct $31.00  from  the  above  table;  those  from  other  States  will 
add  a  tuition  fee  of  $20.00 ;  those  enrolled  in  the  R.  O.  T.  C. 
will  receive  from  the  Government : 

Commutation  of  Subsistence,  Clothing,  etc. — See  Depart- 
ment of  Military  Science  and  Tactics,  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences. 

Remittances. — All  remittances  should  be  mude  to  th» 
Auditor,  University  of  Florida,  Gainesville,  Fla. 

Opportunities  for  Earning  Expenses. — It  is  often  pos- 
sible for  a  student  to  earn  a  part  of  his  expenses  by  working 
during  hours  not  required  for  his  University  duties. 

A  few  students  are  employed  as  waiters  in  the  commons, 
as  janitors,  and  in  some  other  capacities.  Such  employment 
is  not,  as  a  rule,  given  to  a  student  unless  he  is  otherwise 
financially  unable  to  attend  the  University,  nor  is  it  given  to 
one  who  fails  in  any  study. 

While  the  employment  of  students  is  designed  to  assist 
those  in  need  of  funds,  the  payment  for  their  services  is  in 
no  sense  a  charity.  The  rate  of  remuneration  is  no  higher 
and  the  standard  of  service  demanded  is  no  lower  than  would 
be  the  case  if  the  work  were  done  by  others  than  students.  If  a 
student  employee  fails  to  give  satisfaction,  he  is  promptly  dis- 
charged. Otherwise  he  is  continued  in  his  position  as  long 
as  he  cares  to  hold  it,  provided  it  is  not  found  to  interfere  with 
reasonable  success  in  his  studies  and  provided  he  does  not  com- 
mit any  breach  of  good  conduct. 

Great  credit  is  due  those  willing  to  make  the  necessary 
sacrifices,  nevertheless  students  are  advised  not  to  undertake 
to  earn  money  while  pursuing  their  studies,  unless  such  action 
is  unavoidable.  Proper  attention  to  studies  makes  sufficient 
demand  upon  the  time  and  energy  of  a  student,  without  the 
burden  of  outside  duties;  such  time  as  the  studies  leave  free 
can  be  spent  more  profitably  in  recreation. 

FELLOWSHIPS,  SCHOLARSHIPS,  AND  LOAN  FUND 

Fellowships. — In  order  to  encourage  young  teachers  to 
prepare  themselves  further  for  their  work  by  taking  graduate 
courses  in  Education,  three  Teaching  Fellowships,  each  paying 
$200.00  annually,  have  been  established. 

Application  for  a  fellowship  must  be  made  in  writing  to

the  Dean  of  the  Teachers  College  or  to  the  President  of  the 
University.  It  must  show  that  the  applicant  is  a  college 
graduate  and  has  ability  to  profit  by  the  work  offered,  and 
must  be  accompanied  by  testimonials  as  to  his  character. 

A  Fellow  must  devote  himself  to  studies  leading  to  the 
Master's  degree  in  Education.  He  will  be  expected  to  teach

the  direction  and  supervision  of  the  Teachers  College,  for 
which  he  will  receive  two  hours'  credit.  He  may  be  called  upon 
for  minor  services,  such  as  conducting  examinations  and  teach- 
ing review  classes,  but  not  for  anything  that  would  interfere 
with  his  graduate  work. 

Scholarships. — Thru  the  generosity  of  friends,  the  Uni- 
versity is  able  to  offer  five  scholarships  (see  also  College  of 
Agriculture) .  Application  for  a  scholarship  should  be  made  to 
the  President  of  the  University  and  should  be  accompanied  by 
a  record  of  the  student's  work,  statement  of  his  need,  and 
testimonials  as  to  his  character.    To  secure  a  scholarship :

him  to  attend  the  University. 

(b)  He  must  be  of  good  character  and  habits  and  sufficiently  far 
advanced  to  enter  not  lower  than  the  Freshman  class.

culture. 

ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION 

At  the  close  of  the  Commencement  exercises  in  1906  the 
graduates  of  the  year  organized  an  Alumni  Association.  All 
graduates  of  the  University  and  the  graduates  of  the  former 
institutions  who  have  had  their  diplo7nas  confirmed  by  the 
University  are  eligible  for  membership. 

Further  information  concerning  the  Association  may  be 
had  by  addressing  any  one  of  the  officers:  President,  B.  R. 
Colson ;  Vice-President,  L.  P.  Hardee ;  Secretary  and  Treasurer, 
W.  L.  Floyd— all  of  Gainesville,  Fla. 

STUDENT  ORGANIZATIONS  AND  PUBLICATIONS 

Y.  M.  C.  A.— The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  seeks  to  promote  the  ideal  of 
the  University,  that  every  man  should  have  a  strong  body,  a 
trained  mind,  and  a  Christian  experience  in  order  that  he  may 
go  forth  prepared  to  meet  the  problems  of  life. 

Clean  wholesome  athletics  are  fostered.  Efficiency  in  the 
classroom  is  urged,  and  systematic  Bible  study  is  promoted 
thruout  the  University.  Under  the  leadership  of  the  General 
Secretary  the  best  available  ministers  and  laymen  are  brought 
before  the  student-body  to  the  end  that  they  may  become 
acquainted  with  the  problems  of  today. 

The  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  in  carrying  forward  this  work,  deserves 
the  support  of  every  student,  alumnus,  and  parent. 

Literary  and  Scientific  Societies. — See  General  State- 
ment of  each  of  the  five  colleges  of  the  University. 

Orchestra. — The  orchestra  plays  for  Chapel  exercises  and 
furnishes  special  music  on  Fridays.  It  also  accompanies  the 
University  Minstrels  on  its  annual  tour. 

Glee  and  Mandolin  Clubs. — The  Glee  Club  develops 
ability  in  part-singing  and  gives  much  pleasure  by  adding 
variety  to  the  Friday  morning  exercises.  The  Mandolin  Club, 
composed  of  mandolins,  guitars,  and  similar  instruments,  while 
complete  in  itself,  joins  the  Glee  Club  in  its  annual  tour. 

Military  Band. — The  Military  Band  adds  much  to  the 


S6  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

effectiveness  of  parades.  It  makes  several  excursions  during 
the  year  to  neighboring  towns,  and  has  an  annual  trip  of 
nearly  a  week  with  the  University  Minstrels. 

Publications. — Beginning  with  the  session  of  1909-10  each 
Senior  class  has  published  an  illustrated  annual,  known  as 
the  "Seminole". 

The  "Florida  Alligator"  is  a  weekly  newspaper  owned  and 
controlled  by  the  student-body.  Its  editorial  articles  discuss 
University  problems  from  the  viewpoint  of  the  undergradu- 
ates. It  seeks  the  support  of  the  alumni,  who  find  in  it  the 
best  means  of  keeping  in  touch  with  the  University. 

ADMISSION 

Terms. — ^A  candidate  for  admission  must  present,  along 
with  his  scholastic  record,  a  certificate  of  good  moral  character, 
and,  if  he  be  from  another  college  or  university,  the  certificate 
must  show  that  he  was  honorably  discharged. 

No  candidate  under  16  (18  in  the  College  of  Law)  years  of 
age  will  be  admitted. 

Methods. — There  are  two  methods  of  gaining  admission: 

(1)  By  Certificate. — The  University  will  accept  certifi- 
cates from  the  approved  Senior  high  schools  of  Florida ;  from 
accredited  academies  and  preparatory  schools  of  the  State ;  and 
from  any  secondary  school  of  another  state  which  is  accredited 
by  its  state  university. 

The  certificate  must  be  officially  signed  by  the  principal  of 
the  school  attended.  It  must  state  in  detail  the  work  of 
preparation  and,  in  the  case  of  Florida  high  schools,  that  the 
course  thru  the  twelfth  grade  has  been  satisfactorily  completed. 

Blank  certificates,  conveniently  arranged  for  the  desired 
data,  will  be  sent  to  all  high-school  principals  and,  upon 
application,  to  prospective  students. 

(2)  By  Examination. — Candidates  not  admitted  by  cer- 
tificate will  be  required  to  stand  written  examinations  upon 
the  entrance  subjects.  For  dates  of  these  examinations,  see 
University  Calendar,  page  3. 

Requirements.  —  "Entrance  Units."  —  The  requirements 
for  admission  are  measured  in  "Entrance  Units",  based  upon 
the  curriculum  of  the  high  schools  of  Florida.  A  unit  repre- 
sents a  course  of  study  pursued  thruout  the  school  year  with 
five  recitation  periods  (two  laboratory  periods  being  counted 


ADMISSION  37 

as  one  recitation  period)  of  at  least  forty-five  minutes  each 
per  week,  four  courses  being  taken  during  each  of  the  four 
years.  Thus  the  curriculum  of  the  standard  Senior  high 
school  of  Florida  is  equivalent  to  sixteen  units. 

Number  of  Units. — Admission  to  the  Freshman  class  will 
be  granted  to  candidates  who  present  credentials  showing  that 
they  have  been  graduated  from  a  standard  Senior  high  school 
with  a  four-year  curriculum  based  upon  an  eight-year  gram- 
mar-school course,  or  who  present  evidence  of  having  com- 
pleted courses  amounting  to  sixteen  units  of  preparatory  work. 

In  no  case  will  credit  for  more  than  sixteen  units  be  given 
for  work  done  at  a  high  school. 

These  requirements  are  equal  to  fifteen  "Carnegie  Founda- 
tion" or  "National  Educational  Association"  units. 

Distribution  of  Units. — Of  the  units  required  for  admission, 
ten  (eight  in  the  College  of  Law)  are  specified  and  six  (eight 
in  the  College  of  Law)  are  elective.  Eight  of  the  specified 
units  are  required  in  common  by  all  the  colleges  of  the  Uni- 
versity, while  the  remaining  two  vary.

Elective  Units. — These  are  to  be  chosen  from  the  list  of 
electives  given  below  and  from  other  subjects  regularly  taught 
in  a  standard  high  school.  Not  more  than  four  of  these  units 
will  be  accepted  in  vocational  subjects — agriculture,  mechanic 
arts,  stenography,  typewriting,  etc. 

Deficiencies. — A  deficiency  of  two  units  will  be  allowed  a 
candidate,  but  must  be  removed  by  the  end  of  the  first  year 
after  admission. 

Students  who  have  registered  for  a  University  study  will 
not  be  allowed  to  make  up  an  entrance  condition  by  examina- 
tion in  this  subject,  unless  the  examination  be  taken  at  the 
time  of  re-examinations  in  October  of  the  same  school-year. 
The  University  credit  may,  however,  be  used  as  a  substitute 
for  entrance  credit. 

DESCRIPTION  OF  UNIT  COURSES 

English. — Four  units. — The  required  work  in  English  is 
designed  to  cover  three  years.  It  is  urged  that  the  exercises  in 
Composition  and  the  use  of  the  Classics  be  continued  thruout 
this  time.  No  candidate  will  be  accepted  whose  work  is 
notably  defective  in  spelling,  punctuation,  idiom,  or  division 
into  paragraphs. 

(1)  Grammar. — A  thoro  knowledge  of  English  Gram- 
mar, both  in  its  technical  aspects  and  in  its  bearings  i»ipon 
speech  and  writing. 

(2)  Composition  and  Rhetoric. — The  fundamental  prin- 
ciples of  Rhetoric  as  given  in  any  standard  high-school  text; 
and  practice  in  Composition,  oral  and  written,  during  the 
whole  period  of  preparation. 

(3)  Classics. — The  English  Classics  generally  adopted  by 
schools  and  colleges.    The  work  includes: 


** 


Only  for  admission  to  the  College  of  Engineering. 


ADMISSION  8» 

I.  Study  and  Practice. — This  presupposes  the  thoro  study 
of  the  works  selected.  The  examination  will  be  upon  subject- 
matter,  form,  and  structure.  The  candidate  may  be  required 
to  answer  questions  involving  the  essentials  of  grammar  and 
the  leading  facts  in  the  periods  of  English  history  to  which 
the  prescribed  texts  belong. 

II.  Reading.— A  number  of  books  will  be  assigned  for 
reading  (see  list  subjoined).  The  candidate  will  be  required 
to  write  a  paragraph  or  two  on  each  of  several  topics  to  be 
chosen  from  a  considerable  number — perhaps  ten  or  fifteen- 
set  before  him  in  the  examination  paper.  This  is  designed  to 
test  the  candidate's  power  of  clear  and  accurate  expression 
and  will  call  for  only  a  general  knowledge  of  the  substance  of 
the  books.  The  candidate  must  also  be  prepared  to  answer 
simple  questions  on  the  lives  of  the  authors.

44  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 


GRADUATE  SCHOOL 

Organization.— This  School  is  under  the  direction  of  the 
Committee  on  Graduate  Studies,  which  consists  of  Professors 
Anderson,  Farr,  Rolfs,  Benton,  Trusler,  and  Cox. 

Graduate  students  should  register  with  the  Chairman  of 
this  Committee. 

Degrees  Offered.- — The  University  is  not  in  a  position  at 
present  to  lay  any  great  stress  upon  graduate  work.  Its 
courses  are  mainly  of  college  grade  and  will  doubtless  remain 
so  for  many  years  to  come.  For  the  benefit,  however,  of  those 
who  wish  to  carry  their  studies  further,  courses  are  offered 
leading  to  the  degrees  of  Master  of  Arts,  Master  of  Arts  in 
Education,  Master  of  Science,  Master  of  Science  in  Agricul- 
ture, and  Master  of  Science  in  Education. 

Prerequisite  Degrees.— Candidates  for  the  Master's  de- 
gree must  possess  the  Bachelor's  degree  of  this  institution  or 
of  one  of  like  standing. 

Applications. — Candidates  for  the  Master's  degree  must 
present  to  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Graduate  Studies 
a  written  application  for  the  degree  not  later  than  the  first  of 
November  of  the  scholastic  year  in  which  the  degree  is  de- 
sired. This  application  must  name  the  major  or  minor  sub- 
jects ofl^ered  for  the  degree  and  must  contain  the  signed  ap- 
proval of  the  heads  of  the  departments  concerned. 

When  a  candidate  offers  as  a  part  of  his  work  any  course 
not  sufficiently  described  in  the  catalog,  he  must  include  in  his 
application  an  outline  or  description  of  that  course. 

Time  Required. — ^The  student  must  spend  at  least  one  en- 
tire academic  year  in  residence  at  the  University  as  a  graduate 
student,  devoting  his  full  time  to  the  pursuit  of  his  studies. 

Work  Required. — The  work  is  twelve  hours  per  week.  Six 
hours  of  this  work  must  be  in  one  subject  (the  major)  and  of  a 
higher  grade  than  any  course  offered  for  undergraduate  stu- 
dents in  that  subject.  The  other  six  hours  (the  minor  or 
minors)  are  to  be  determined  and  distributed  by  the  professor 
in  charge  of  the  department  in  which  the  major  subject  is 
selected.  No  course  designed  primarily  for  students  of  a  lower 
grade  than  the  Junior  class  will  be  acceptable  as  a  minor. 


GRADUATE  SCHOOL  45 

While  the  major  course  is  six  hours,  these  hours  are  not  the 
same  as  in  undergraduate  work,  for  in  general  the  major  work 
will  require  at  least  two-thirds  of  the  student's  time. 

To  obtain  credit  for  a  minor  the  student  must  attain  a 
grade  of  not  less  than  eighty-five  per  cent. 

Dissertation. — It  is  customary  to  require  a  dissertation 
showing  original  research  and  independent  thinking  on  some 
subject  accepted  by  the  professor  under  whom  the  major  work 
is  taken,  but  this  requirement  may  be  waived  at  the  option  of 
the  professor,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Committee  on 
Graduate  Studies.  If  the  requirement  be  not  waived,  the 
dissertation  must  be  in  the  hands  of  the  committee  not  later 
than  two  weeks  before  Commencement  Day.

GENERAL  STATEMENT 

Aim  and  Scope. — The  tendency  of  universities  at  the  pres- 
ent time  seems  to  be  to  reach  out  their  arms  farther  and 
farther  into  the  domain  of  knowledge  and  to  become  more  and 
more  places  where  the  student  may  expect  to  be  able  to  acquire 
any  form  of  useful  knowledge  in  which  he  may  be  interested. 
In  the  center,  however,  there  is  still  found  the  College  of  Arts 
and  Sciences,  the  pulsating  heart,  as  it  were,  sending  its 
vivifying  streams  to  the  outermost  tips  of  the  institution. 

The  aim  of  the  college  is  to  prepare  for  life,  it  is  true,  but 
not  so  directly  and  immediately  as  do  the  professional  schools. 
It  is  a  longer,  but  a  better  road,  for  those  who  are  able  to  travel 
it,  to  distinction  and  ultimate  success  in  almost  any  calling. 
Especially  in  the  case  of  the  learned  professions,  it  is  becom- 
ing clearer  that  a  man  must  first  get  a  liberal  education,  if 
possible,  before  entering  upon  his  professional  studies. 

The  purpose  and  aim  of  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  is 
to  impart  culture  and  refinement,  to  train  the  mind  and 
strengthen  the  intellect,  to  build  up  ideals  and  establish  the 
character,  to  enlarge  the  vision,  to  ennoble  the  thoughts,  to 
increase  the  appreciation  of  the  beautiful  and  the  true,  to  add 
charm  to  life  and  piquancy  to  companionship,  to  make  the  man 
a  decent  fellow,  a  useful  citizen,  an  influential  member  of 
society  in  whatever  community  he  may  be  thrown,  in  whatever 
field  his  life-course  may  be  run. 

But  if  the  student  wishes  to  examine  the  practical  side 
exclusively,  he  will  find  that  there  is  also  something  practical 
in  all  these  courses.  For  instance,  they  are  all  valuable  for  him 
who  wishes  to  learn  to  teach  those  subjects.    Moreover,  the 


♦Died  Oct.  5,  1918. 


COLLEGE  OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES  47 

use  of  electives  gives  the  student  an  opportunity  to  specialize 
in  some  branch  according  to  his  inclination  and  in  furtherance 
of  his  plans. 

Admission. — For  full  description  of  requirements  for  ad- 
mission and  of  unit  courses,  see  pages  36  to  42,  inclusive. 

Literary  Societies. — The  Literary  Societies  are  valuable 
adjuncts  to  the  educational  work  of  the  College.  They  are  con- 
ducted entirely  by  the  students  and  maintain  a  high  level  of 
endeavor.  The  members  obtain  much  practical  experience  in 
the  conduct  of  public  assemblies.  They  assimilate  knowledge 
of  parliamentary  law,  acquire  ease  and  grace  of  delivery,  learn 
to  argue  with  coolness  of  thought  and  courtesy  of  manner,  and 
are  trained  in  thinking  and  in  presenting  their  thoughts  clearly 
and  effectively  while  facing  an  audience.  All  students  are 
earnestly  advised  to  connect  themselves  with  one  of  these 
societies  and  to  take  a  constant  and  active  part  in  its  work. 

Degrees. — The  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  offers  courses 
leading  to  the  degrees  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  (A.B.)  and  Bachelor 
of  Science  (B.S.). 

Subjects  of  Study. — The  subjects  of  study  leading  to- 
wards the  degrees  offered  by  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences 
are  divided  into  the  following  four  groups:

Requirements  for  Degrees. — For  each  of  the  degrees  of- 
fered, A.B.  and  B.S.,  a  total  of  sixty-four  hours  must  be  taken, 
of  which  two  must  be  in  Group  I.  The  courses  taken  must 
include  English  II  and  Philosophy  I. 

For  the  A.B.  degree  fifteen  hours  must  be  taken  in  each  of 
Groups  II  and  III  and  twelve  hours  from  Group  IV;  three 


48  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

hours  may  be  chosen  from  any  group ;  the  remaining  seventeen 
hours  (including  the  "major")  must  be  chosen  from  Groups 
II,  III,  and  (pure)  Mathematics,  altho  twelve  of  these  seven- 
teen hours  may  be  taken  from  the  first  year  of  the  course  in  the 
College  of  Law. 

For  the  degree  of  B.S.  twelve  hours  must  be  taken  from 
each  of  Groups  II  and  III,  twenty-four  (including  the  "major" 
and,  in  every  case,  Chemistry  I)  from  Group  IV,  leaving 
fourteen  hours  to  be  chosen  from  the  subjects  mentioned 
above,  altho  twelve  of  these  fourteen  may  be  taken  from  the 
first  year  of  the  course  in  the  College  of  Law. 

The  "major"  must  consist  of  nine  hours  in  one  department 
(not  counting  the  Freshman  work)  and  must  be  approved  by 
the  head  of  the  department  chosen.  The  choice  of  electives 
must  meet  with  the  approval  of  the  Dean. 

The  Bachelor's  degree  in  Arts  or  Sciences  will  not  bo 
conferred  upon  a  candidate  offering  twelve  hours  in  Law  until 
he  has  satisfactorily  completed  the  second  year  of  the  course  in 
the  College  of  Law. 

Pre-Medical  Course. — Students  intending  to  study  medi- 
cine are  advised  to  take  the  regular  B.S.  course.  Inasmuch, 
however,  as  many  students  are  unable  to  spend  four  years  on 
a  non-professional  course,  the  University  offers  a  Two- Year 
Pre-Medical  Course.

DEPARTMENTS  OF  INSTRUCTION 

ANCIENT  LANGUAGES 

Professor  Anderson 

The  study  of  the  classics  contributes  largely  to  general 
culture.  In  addition  to  the  recognized  and  peculiar  disciplinary 
value  of  such  studies  and  their  conspicuous  service  in  cultivat- 
ing the  literary  sense  and  developing  literary  taste,  they  have 
a  more  immediate  value  and  office  as  aids  to  the  comprehension 
and  interpretation  of  modern  languages  and  literatures.  A 
thoro  study  and  a  full  understanding  of  the  modern  languages, 
especially  the  Romance  languages  and  our  own  tongue,  de- 
mand a  considerable  preliminary  acquaintance  with  Latin  and 
Greek.  Thus  from  two  points  of  view,  that  of  their  own 
intrinsic  beauty  and  value  as  culture  studies  and  that  of  aids 
to  the  study  of  other  languages,  Latin  and  Greek  command 
our  attention  and  call  for  a  large  place  in  any  curriculum 
which  proposes  to  issue  in  a  liberal  education. 

Courses  A,  B,  and  C,  if  not  used  for  entrance  units,  may 
be  taken  for  college  credit.

ENGLISH  LANGUAGE  AND  LITERATURE 

Professor  Farr  Mr.  Robertson 

The  work  is  designed  to  meet  the  requirements  for  a  prac- 
tical and  liberal  education,  and  is  regarded  both  as  a  necessary 
auxiliary  to  the  training  in  the  technical  courses  and  as  an 
important  factor  among  the  liberalizing  studies.  The  three 
sides  of  the  subject,  Rhetoric,  Linguistics,  and  Literature,  are 
presented  as  fully  as  time  will  permit.  Rhetoric  and  compo- 
sition are  stressed  in  the  lower  classes,  literary  studies  and 
linguistic  work  in  electives ;  nevertheless  the  attempt  is  made 
to  keep  the  three  viewpoints  before  all  classes  as  necessary  to 
a  mastery  of  their  native  language. 

English  I. — Advanced  College  Rhetoric. — Designed  to 
train  students  in  methods  of  clear  and  forceful  expression. 
Instruction  is  carried  on  simultaneously  in  formal  rhetoric,  in 
rhetorical  analysis,  and  in  theme  writing,  the  constant  corre- 
lation of  the  three  as  methods  of  approach  to  the  desired  goal 
being  kept  in  view.  In  addition  a  reading  course  is  assigned 
each  student.     (Required  of  all  Freshmen;  3  hours.) 

English  Ila. — Development  of  English  Prose. — This  will 
follow  the  method  of  Minto's  Manual  in  tracing  historically 
the  growth  of  English  prose  literature;  supplemented  by  col- 
lateral readings  and  by  essays.     (First  semester;  3  hours.) 

English  lib. — Development  of  English  Poetry. — A  con- 
tinuation of  English  Ila,  applying  the  method  outlined  above 
to  the  study  of  English  poetry.    (Second  semester;  3  hours.) 

English  Ilia. — Milton  and  the  Epic. — A  study  of  Para- 
dise Lost,  around  which  are  grouped  studies  in  the  Age  of 
Milton  and  in  the  Epic  as  a  type  of  Comparative  Literature. 


COLLEGE  OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES  57 

The  first  four  books  of  the  poem  are  read  in  class.  Written 
reviews  on  the  remaining  books  alternate  each  week  with 
essays  from  the  student  and  lectures  by  the  instructor.  Read- 
ings in  the  minor  poets  of  the  age  and  in  the  English  transla- 
tions of  the  great  epics  are  assigned.  (First  semester;  3 
hours.) 

English  III6.  —  Shakespeare  and  the  Drama.  —  Three 
Shakesperian  plays  are  read  in  class.  On  eight  others  a  written 
review  is  held  each  fortnight,  and  on  the  alternate  week  essays 
are  written  by  the  students  and  lectures  are  given  by  the 
instructor.  Readings  in  the  English  drama  from  the  Cycle 
plays  to  contemporary  production  are  assigned.  (Second 
semester;  S  hours.) 

English  IVa. — American  Poetry. — A  rapid  survey  of  the 
development  of  poetry  in  the  United  States ;  critical  study  of 
a  few  of  the  more  important  authors  (Bryant,  Whittier,  Long- 
fellow, Emerson,  Lowell,  Poe).    (First  semester;  3  hours.) 

English  IV6. — Southern  Literature. — A  detailed  study  of 
the  literature  of  the  South ;  extensive  reading  and  essay  work ; 
examination  of  the  claims  of  Florida  authors.  (Second  semes- 
ter; 3  hours.) 

English  V.  —  The  English  Novel.  —  The  chronological 
development  and  technic  of  the  novel.  The  student  reads  a 
list  of  novels  chosen  to  illustrate  chronology  and  variety  of 
species,  analyzes  minutely  one  novel  from  the  technical  side, 
masters  the  entire  work  and  life  of  one  novelist,  and  compares 
closely  a  novel  and  a  dramatized  version  of  it.  It  is  hoped 
the  student  may  be  so  grounded  in  the  classics  and  his  taste 
and  judgment  so  trained  that  his  reading  of  novels  may  not 
become  mere  intellectual  dissipation.     (3  hours.)

ary movement:  the  causes  and  forces  which  underlie  the 
movement,  its  phenomena  and  the  authors  and  works  which 
exhibit  them,  and  a  comparison  with  other  movements  in 
literature.  The  work  of  Prof.  Beers  will  be  used  as  a  basis 
and  the  student  will  be  led,  by  means  of  extensive  reading, 
by  investigation  and  essays,  and  by  lectures,  to  realize  the 
truth  of  his  statements.    (3  hours.) 

English  VIL  —  Anglo-Saxon  Grammar  and  Reading.  — 
Drill  in  the  forms  of  the  early  language  and  an  elementary

text,  analogs,  and  sources  are  examined.  During  the  second 
semester,  Morris  and  Skeats'  Specimens,  Part  II,  is  studied 
in  connection  with  informal  lectures  on  Middle  English  viewed 
as  developing  from  Anglo-Saxon  into  Modern  English.  (Pre- 
requisite: English  VII;  3  hours.) 

English  IX. — Engineering  Exposition. — An  attempt  to 
give  special  training  to  Engineering  students  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  the  various  kinds  of  writing  they  will  be  called  upon 
to  do  in  the  pursuit  of  their  profession.  It  will  consist  largely 
of  the  writing  of  papers  (upon  subjects  assigned  by  the 
departments  in  the  College  of  Engineering),  which  will  be 
criticised  and  revised.     (Engineering  Seniors;  1  hour.)

is  given  to  establishing  a  correct  method  of  breathing,  to 
correcting  faulty  articulation,  and  to  teaching  the  principles 
of  interpretation  by  voice,  gesture,  and  facial  expression. 

A  small  tuition  fee  is  charged. 

HISTORY  AND  ECONOMICS 

Professor  Ault 

The  aim  of  this  department  is  to  train  students  to  use 
historical  and  economic  material  with  discrimination;  to  de- 
velop a  general  knowledge  of  European,  English,  and  Ameri- 
can History;  to  furnish  students  with  a  survey  of  economic 
life  and  thought ;  and  to  explain  the  economic  principles  lying 
back  of  our  present  day  wealth-getting  and  wealth-dispensing 
activities. 

Those  entering  the  University  for  the  first  time,  who  have 
not  had  satisfactory  courses  in  European  or  American  History, 
are  advised  to  include  these  subjects  among  their  studies  as 
a  general  cultural  foundation  for  their  other  work.   To  these

MATHEMATICS 

Professor  Simpson 

MATHEMATICS 

The  work  in  the  Department  of  Mathematics  is  planned 
with  a  threefold  purpose  in  view: 

1.  For  those  who  intend  to  specialize  in  Mathematics  it 
provides"  the  preparation  for  more  advanced  work.  Several 
advanced  courses  are  offered  such  students. 

2.  To  those  who  need  Mathematics  as  an  instrument  it 
offers  opportunities  to  become  familiar  with  this  instrument. 
The  application  of  Calculus  not  only  to  Physics,  Chemistry, 


COLLEGE  OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES  61 

and  Engineering,  but  even  to  such  seemingly  remote  realms 
as  Psychology  and  Political  Economy,  makes  it  advisable  that 
this  class  should  continue  the  study  of  Mathematics  at  least 
so  far  as  to  include  Calculus. 

3.  To  others  it  gives  logical  training  in  Analysis  and 
Proof,  introduces  them  to  that  scientific  method  par  excel- 
lence of  the  Hypothesis,  and  develops  the  idea  of  a  deductive

Military  instruction  is  not  optional,  but  is  required  by  law 
—by  the  law  of  the  United  States  and  by  the  law  of  Florida. 

Excused  from  Military  Duty. — Graduate  and  Law  stu- 
dents, Seniors,  Juniors  in  the  Teachers  College,  and  the  phys- 
ically disqualified  are  excused  from  military  duty.  Those  who

from  drills,  and  also,  provided  they  pass  an  examination  under 
the  Professor  of  Military  Science  and  Tactics,  from  theoretical 
work.  Those  taking  the  One-Year  Course  in  Agriculture  will  be 
excused  from  the  theoretical,  but  not  from  the  practical  part  of 
the  course.    Credit,  year  for  year,  will  be  given,  furthermore, 


62  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

for  work  done  at  other  military  schools  having  army  officers 
as  instructors.  See  also  General  Information,  under  Adult 
Specials. 

All  applications  to  be  excused  from  military  duty  for  other 
reasons  must  be  submitted  to  the  Professor  of  Military  Science 
and  Tactics,  and  all  who  are  required  to  take  military  work 
must  report  to  him  within  five  days  after  registering  at  the 
University. 

Faculty  Rulings.— The  General  Faculty  has  enacted  the 
following : 

1.  The  physically  disqualified  must  submit  a  certificate  to  that 
effect  from  a  reputable  physician  and  must  also,  prior  to  graduation,  make 
up  an  equivalent  amount  of  work  in  this  or  some  other  department. 

2.  Two  (2)  credit  hours  shall  be  the  equivalent  of  three  hours  of 
drill. 

3.  Students  from  other  institutions  entering  the  Junior  or  Senior 
class  without  having  had  the  requisite  amount  of  physical  instruction, 
shall,  unless  physically  disqualified,  be  required  to  take  military  science 
and  drill  for  two  (2)  years,  or  one  (1)  year,  respectively,  excepting  that 
in  the  Senior  year  a  study  equivalent  may  be  submitted  for  drill.

High  School  shall  be  excused  after  drilling  three  (3)  years  here. 

R.  0.  T.  C— The  National  Defense  Act  of  June  3,  1916, 
authorizes  the  organization  of  an  Officers'  Reserve  Corps. 
One  method  of  securing  members  for  this  is  by  utilizing  the 
voluntary  services  of  graduates  of  universities  and  colleges 
that  maintain  a  course  of  military  instruction,  hence  the  Act 
authorizes  the  President  to  establish  and  maintain  at  such 
institutions  a  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Corps  (R.  0.  T.  C). 

The  R.  O.  T.  C.  is  composed  of  a  senior  and  of  a  junior 
division,  the  former  of  which  is  maintained  at  institutions 
having  a  four-year  course  leading  to  a  degree.  Each  division 
consists  of  units— infantry  units,  artillery  units,  etc.  Mem- 
bership is  restricted  to  physically  fit  students  over  fourteen 
years  of  age  who  are  citizens  of  the  United  States,  but  who 
are  not  members  of  the  U.  S.  Army,  Navy,  or  Marine  Corps, 
or  of  the  National  Guard  or  Naval  Militia. 

University  of  Florida  Unit. — Upon  the  application  of 
the  President  of  the  University,  approved  by  the  Board  of 
Control,  an  Infantry  Unit,  Senior  Division,  R.  0.  T.  C,  has 
been  established  at  the  University. 

Course  of  Instruction. — Under  the  provisions  of  the  Act 
of  June  3,  the  Secretary  of  War  has  prescribed  a  standard 
course  of  instruction  covering  four  years.    The  first  two-year's 


COLLEGE  OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES  63 

course  is  compulsory  and  its  successful  completion  necessary 
for  graduation.  The  second  two-year's  course  is  optional. 
Having  once  entered  upon  the  course,  however,  the  student 
must,  in  order  to  secure  the  benefits  accruing,  carry  it  to 
completion,  and  must,  to  secure  the  credits  necessary  for 
graduation,  make  up  time  lost. 

Commutation  of  Subsistence,  Uniform,  etc. — §  50,  Act 
of  June  3,  reads : 

"When  any  member  of  the  Senior  division  of  the  Reserve  Officers' 
Training  Corps  has  completed  two  academic  years  of  service  in  that 
division,  and  has  been  selected  for  further  training  by  the  president  of 
the  institution,  and  by  its  professor  of  military  science  and  tactics,  and 
has  agreed  in  writing  to  continue  in  the  Reserve  Officers'  Training 
Corps  for  the  remainder  of  his  course  in  the  institution,  devoting  five 
hours  per  week  to  the  military  training  prescribed  by  the  Secretary 
of  War,  and  has  agreed  in  writing  to  pursue  the  courses  in  camp  training 
prescribed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  he  may  be  furnished,  at  the  expense 
of  the  United  States,  with  commutation  of  subsistence  at  such  rate, 
not  exceeding  the  cost  of  the  garrison  ration  prescribed  for  the  Army, 
as  may  be  fixed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  during  the  remainder  of  his 
service  in  the  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Corps," 

The  commutation  of  subsistence  is  at  the  rate  of  40  cents 
per  day  for  two  years,  or  590  days,  and  will  therefore  amount 
during  the  whole  course  to  $236.00.  In  adition  each  man  may 
receive  subsistence  in  kind  (not  paid  in  cash)  while  in  camp, 
three  summers,  or  135  days ;  estimated  at  the  same  rate,  this 
totals  $54.00. 

Allowance  for  transportation  to  and  from  the  summer 
camps  at  the  rate  of  4  cents  per  mile. 

Every  member  of  the  R.  0.  T.  C.  will  receive  each  year 
property  valued  at  $41.83  (actual  cost  value),  or  in  four 
years,  $167.32 ;  for  each  summer  camp  attended  he  will  receive 
in  addition  property  valued  at  $14.67,  or  $44.01  in  three 
summers.    The  articles  furnished  are:

Besides  the  items  mentioned  above,  the  equipment  issued 
for  each  student  amounts  to  at  least  $50.00.  The  students 
have,  moreover,  the  privilege  of  buying  extra  uniforms,  or 
parts  thereof,  at  the  above  mentioned  prices,  which  will  have 
an  additional  saving  value  to  those  who  take  advantage  of  it. 
The  members  of  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  may  also  secure  special  tech- 
nical training  in  various  fields  without  any  tuition  charges. 

From  investigations  made  by  the  Government  it  seems  that 
in  most  cases  the  work  of  the  R.  0.  T.  C.  does  not  seriously 
interfere  with  a  student's  chances  of  earning  money  outside 
of  class  hours,  and  that  the  amount  actually  gained  by  mem- 
bership exceeds  the  average  sum  earned  by  students  working 
their  way  thru  school. 

In  addition  to  what  has  been  said  above,  arrangements  may 
be  made  to  secure  from  the  Committee  on  Education  and 
Special  Training  moving-picture  films,  slides,  etc.,  that  will 
aid  in  the  work  of  training  officers. 

Presidential  Appointments.  —  The  President  of  the 
United  States  is  authorized: 

(1)  To  appoint  in  the  Officers'  Reserve  Corps  any  graduate  of  the 
Senior  Division  of  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  who  shall  have  satisfactorily  com- 
pleted the  prescribed  course  of  military  training,  including  the  practical 
instruction  subsequent  to  graduation,  who  shall  have  arrived  at  twenty- 
one  years  of  age,  and  who  shall  agree,  under  oath  in  writing,  to  serve  the 
United  States  in  the  capacity  of  a  reserve  officer.  Graduates  pursuing  a 
further  course  of  study  are  not  eligible,  but  may  receive  an  appointment 
later. 

(2)  To  appoint  and  commission  as  a  temporary  second  lieutenant  in 
the  Regular  Army,  in  time  of  peace  and  for  the  purposes  of  instruction, 
for  a  period  not  exceeding  six  months,  with  allowances  for  that  grade,  but 
with  pay  at  the  rate  of  $100.00  per  month,  any  reserve  officer  appointed 
as  above  described.  Upon  the  expiration  of  this  service  with  the  Regular 
Army  such  officer  shall  revert  to  his  status  as  a  reserve  officer. 

The  appointment  and  assignment  to  duty  referred  to  above 
may  immediately  follow  graduation,  in  which  case  the  final 
course  oi  the  training  camp  will  be  omitted.

MODERN  LANGUAGES 

Professor  Crow 

Extensive  courses  of  reading,  in  and  out  of  class,  frequent 
exercises,  oral  and  written,  and  studies  in  literature  and 
language  form  the  chief  feature  of  instruction. 

Authors  and  textbooks  vary  from  year  to  year.  Tho  the 
classics  are  not  neglected,  special  attention  is  paid  to  the 
literatures  of  the  Nineteenth  Century.

MUSIC 

Mr,  Chapman  Mr.  Marchio 

This  department  aims  to  foster  a  love  for  good  music  and 
to  encourage  students  to  use  their  musical  abilities  and  train- 
ing for  the  benefit  of  themselves  and  others.  It  trains  and 
directs  the  student  chorus,  the  chapel  choir,  the  Glee  and  Man- 
dolin and  Guitar  Clubs,  the  Orchestra,  and  the  University 
Band,  and  offers  private  instruction  in  voice  and  in  violin  and 
other  instruments.  It  seeks  to  cooperate  with  the  musical 
organizations  of  Gainesville  and  in  conjunction  with  them  to 
give  several  public  entertainments  during  the  year. 

Owing  to  the  lack  of  funds  for  the  department,  a  small 
tuition  fee  is  charged  for  private  instruction. 

PHILOSOPHY 

Professor  Cox 

The  primary  aim  of  this  department  is  to  give  the  student 
a  broad  outlook  upon  life  in  general,  as  well  as  a  better 
understanding  of  his  own  life  from  psychological,  ethical,  and 
metaphysical  viewpoints.  Philosophy  lies  nearer  today  than 
ever  before  to  the  various  sciences  on  the  one  hand  and  to  the 
demands  of  practical  life  on  the  other. 


COLLEGE  OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES  67 

Another  very  important  aim  is  to  aid  in  the  professional

PHYSICAL  EDUCATION 

Professor  Buser 

This  department  has  jurisdiction  over  all  athletic,  aquatic, 
and  gymnastic  activities.  It  seeks:  (1)  To  develop  health, 
vigor,  and  good  physical  habits;  (2)  to  provide  an  incentive 
and  an  opportunity  for  every  student  to  secure  at  least  one 
hour's  physical  activity  daily  as  a  balance  to  the  sedentary 
demands  of  university  life;  (3)  to  conserve  the  social  and 
moral  values  of  games  and  sports;  (4)  to  encourage  and 
develop  intramural  sports;  and  (5)  to  make  athletic  sports 
an  essential  factor  in  military  training. 

Students  will  not  be  excused  from  the  prescribed  training 


COLLEGE  OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES  69 

during  the  first  two  years  unless  they  substitute  a  satisfactory 
equivalent.  They  are  supposed  to  be  able  to  swim  a  distance 
of  fifty  yards  by  the  end  of  the  Sophomore  year.  No  student 
will  be  permitted,  however,  to  participate  in  intercollegiate  or 
intramural  competitive  games  or  to  become  a  candidate  for 
football  or  other  team,  until  he  has  secured,  after  examination, 
the  written  permission  of  a  competent  physician. 

All  activities  will  be  conducted  out  of  doors  in  so  far  as 
the  weather  will  permit.  The  regulation  suit  consists  of  white 
sleeveless  shirt,  running  pants,  supporter,  and  rubber-soled 
shoes. 

When  needed,  special  coaches  are  engaged  to  assist  the 
director.

PHYSICS 

Professor  Benton        Asst.  Professor  Perry 

The  work  of  this  department  is  intended  to  meet  the  needs, 
on  the  one  hand,  of  those  who  study  physics  as  a  part  of  a 
liberal  education  and,  on  the  other  hand,  of  those  who  will 
have  to  apply  physics  as  one  of  the  sciences  fundamental  to 
engineering,  or  to  medicine. 

Instruction  is  given  by  (1)  recitations  based  upon  lessons 
assigned  in  textbooks;  (2)  laboratory  work,  in  which  the 
student  uses  his  own  direct  observation  to  gain  knowledge  of 
the  subject;  (3)  lectures,  in  which  experimental  demonstra- 
tions of  the  principles  under  discussion  are  given;  and  (4) 
seminar  work  in  the  advanced  courses,  in  which  the  various 
members  of  the  class  take  up  special  problems  requiring 
extended  study  or  investigation  and  report  upon  them. 

The  physical  laboratory  (see  page  23)  is  well  equipt  for 
the  experiments  usually  required  in  undergraduate  laboratory 
work  in  the  best  colleges.  The  equipment  has  been  greatly 
increased  in  the  last  few  years  and  additions  are  made  to  it 
from  year  to  year.

Aim  and  Scope. — The  College  was  established  under  the 
Acts  of  Congress  creating  and  endowing  institutions  for  the 
liberal  and  practical  education  of  the  industrial  classes. 
Recognition  of  agriculture  as  a  branch  of  collegiate  instruction 
is  a  distinctive  feature  of  schools  thus  founded. 


74  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

The  aim  of  the  College  is  to  afford  young  men  the  best 
possible  opportunity  for  gaining  technical  knowledge  and 
training  in  the  art  and  science  of  agriculture.  About  one-third 
of  the  student's  time  is  devoted  to  technical  studies  and  the 
other  two-thirds  to  basic  sciences  and  cultural  studies,  A  broad 
foundation  is  thus  laid  which  will  enable  graduates  to  become 
leaders  in  educational  work  or  effective  producing  agricul- 
turists. 

Equipment. — Agricultural  Hall  provides  space  for  offices; 
for  classrooms  in  agronomy,  animal  husbandry,  agricultural 
engineering,  and  horticulture;  for  laboratories  in  soils  and 
fertilizers,  crops  and  grain  judging,  farm  machinery,  farm 
power,  milk  testing,  dairy  manufactures,  and  horticulture. 

Libraries. — A  large  number  of  works  on  agriculture  and 
horticulture  have  recently  been  added  to  the  general  library, 
A  trained  librarian  aids  students  in  getting  quickly  the  refer- 
ences needed.  Each  department  has,  furthermore,  a  small 
collection  of  well-selected  volumes,  which  are  always  accessible 
to  students.  The  Experiment  Station  library,  which  is  open 
every  forenoon,  contains  a  very  complete  set  of  bulletins  from 
the  experiment  stations  of  the  world  and  from  the  U.  S. 
Department  of  Agriculture.  These  bulletins  are  fully  indexed 
and  carefully  filed. 

Farms. — The  College  farm,  used  for  instruction  and  for 
growing  crops  with  which  to  feed  the  instruction  herds,  con- 
sists of  225  acres :  10  acres  for  trucking,  100  acres  for  pasture 
and  field  crops,  5  acres  for  orchard,  15  acres  for  soiling  pur- 
poses and  stock  lots,  and  5  acres  for  buildings  and  grounds. 
The  equipment  includes  a  hay  and  storage  barn,  a  farm  fore- 
man's house,  a  dairy  barn,  a  machinery  shed  and  corn  crib,  a 
potting  house,  and  several  irrigation  systems.  The  Experi- 
ment Station  farm  and  farm  buildings  are  easily  accessible  to 
students. 

AGRONOMY    DEPARTMENT 

The  Agronomy  Department  occupies  four  rooms — a  large, 
well-lighted  and  equipt  soil  laboratory,  with  adjoining  storage 
and  work  room,  an  office,  and  a  classroom. 

The  soil  laboratory  is  equipt  with  microscopes,  sampling 
augers,  tubes,  and  carriers ;  balances,  ovens,  soil  thermometers, 
packers,  cylinders,  and  tubes;  moisture  absorption  box  with 
trays;    percolation,    capillary,    and    evaporation    apparatus; 


COLLEGE  OF  AGRICULTURE  75 

sieves,  shaker,  etc.  This  equipment  is  of  the  best  type  and  is 
fully  adequate  for  giving  thoro  courses.  There  are  three  large 
stone-top  desks  with  individual  lockers  for  seventy-two  stu- 
dents. The  storage  room  is  provided  with  soil  bins,  packer, 
cases,  and  shelving  in  abundance. 

For  Agricultural  Engineering  work  there  are  two  labora- 
tories— the  one  for  farm  motors  and  iron  work,  the  other  for 
farm  machinery  and  wood  work.  They  are  equipt  with  a 
large  collection  of  labor-saving  machinery:  gasoline  engines, 
windmills,  feed  grinders,  stalk  cutter,  walking  and  riding 
plows,  various  types  of  harrows,  walking  and  riding  culti- 
vators, seeders,  one-  and  two-horse  corn  planters,  manure 
spreader,  surveying  implements,  etc.  Stress  is  laid  upon  in- 
struction in  farm  machinery,  because  labor-saving  appliances 
have  not  yet  come  into  general  use  in  Florida, 

HORTICULTURAL  DEPARTMENT 

In  addition  to  classrooms  and  laboratories,  ample  provi- 
sion is  made  for  practical  work  outdoors.  A  propagating 
house  and  nursery  on  the  farm  are  used  in  carrying  on  strati- 
fication, layerage,  cuttage,  budding,  grafting,  and  other  meth- 
ods of  plant  propagation ;  trees  of  different  kinds  are  growing 
in  the  orchard,  which,  tho  still  small,  is  being  gradually 
enlarged ;  hot  beds  and  cold  frames  are  provided  for  starting 
young  plants;  an  irrigation  plant  has  been  installed  with 
Skinner,  Campbell,  Skinner-Stephens,  Florida  Favorite,  and 
modified  Skinner  sprinkling  devices  and  a  surface  furrow 
system;  and  large  canvas-covered  frames  for  growing  crops 
to  maturity  in  winter  have  been  constructed. 

ANIMAL  HUSBANDRY  DEPARTMENT 

The  Animul  Husbandry  Department  is  provided  with  a 
lecture-room  containing  seats  for  sixty  students  and  a  pad- 
dock, 12x24  feet  in  size,  with  concrete  floor  and  iron  railing, 
for  exhibiting  animals.  The  equipment  includes  a  two-ton 
Fairbanks  platform  scale,  tape  lines,  measuring  standards, 
and  projectors.  In  the  dairy  barn  a  stock-judging  arena, 
30x40  feet,  has  been  provided  for  practice  in  scoring  animals. 

For  work  in  Dairying  the  College  has  a  large,  well-lighted 
laboratory,  equipt  with  several  makes  of  hand-power  cream 
separators,  churns,  and  butter  workers;  milk  cooler,  gravity 


76  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

creamer,  vats  for  cream  ripening  and  cheese  making;  scales, 
wash  sinks,  sterilizer,  and  minor  apparatus. 

The  milk-testing  laboratory  contains  working  desks  and 
machinery  for  all  modern  tests  of  daiiy  products.  The  equip- 
ment includes  Babcock  testers  of  different  sizes,  cream  scales, 
lactometers,  acidmeters,  butter-moisture  tests,  and  the  neces- 
sary glassware,  reagents,  etc. 

The  equipment  for  Poultry  Instruction  includes  incubator, 
brooders,  and  various  poultry-yard  appliances.  Poultry  breed- 
ers of  the  vicinity  aid  in  the  work  by  lending  selected  fowls 
for  judging  purposes. 

The  Barns  and  Livestock  include:  A  barn  for  the  horses 
and  mules  used  on  the  farm  and  campus;  a  large  dairy  barn 
of  modern  sanitary  construction,  provided  with  concrete  floors 
and  silos,  steel  stanchions  and  fittings,  for  the  herd  of  high- 
grade  and  registered  Jerseys  belonging  to  the  Experiment 
Station;  a  number  of  pens  and  grazing-yards  with  modern 
shelters  and  equipment,  containing  small  breeding  herds  of 
Berkshire,  Poland  China,  Duroc  Jersey,  Tamworth,  and  Ches- 
ter White  hogs.  Other  breeds  and  classes  of  animals  are  being 
added  from  year  to  year.  A  concrete  dipping-vat,  built  in 
cooperation  with  the  Florida  State  Board  of  Health,  is  used 
for  demonstrations  of  cattle-tick  eradication. 

The  County  and  State  Fairs  of  Florida  provide  excellent 
practice  each  year  in  showing  and  in  judging  animals.  Stu- 
dents are  encouraged  to  take  part  in  judging  contests  and  to 
aid  in  show-ring  work  whenever  practicable.  The  Southeast- 
ern Fair,  Atlanta,  Ga.,  offers  prizes  and  medals  to  competing 
teams  from  all  southern  agricultural  colleges.  The  Alachua 
County  Fair,  at  Gainesville,  and  the  Florida  State  Fair,  at 
Jacksonville,  offer  special  cash  prizes  and  diplomas  to  stu- 
dents making  the  best  records  in  stock  judging.  Several  large 
herds  of  cattle  and  hogs  within  a  few  miles  of  the  University, 
in  Alachua  and  Marion  Counties,  are  constantly  available  for 
inspection  and  judging  purposes.  The  meat-packing  houses 
and  dairy  plants  of  Jacksonville  and  vicinity  are  freely  offered 
for  study,  and  trips  for  this  purpose  under  the  guidance  of 
instructors  are  arranged  each  year. 

VETERINARY    DEPARTMENT 

The  scope  of  instruction  in  Veterinary  Science,  up  to 
1918  given  by  the  professor  of  Animal  Husbandry,  will  at 


COLLEGE  OF  AGRICULTURE  77 

once  be  widely  extended,  now  that  it  has  been  made  a  separate 
department  of  the  College. 

The  equipment,  which  will  be  increased  as  rapidly  as 
possible,  already  includes  a  mounted  skeleton  of  a  horse  and 
of  an  ox,  an  asortment  of  charts,  surgical  instruments, 
numerous  specimens  of  diseased  tissue  and  of  parasites,  a 
well-equipt  bacteriological  laboratory,  a  good  library,  etc. 

The  Agricultural  Club. — The  purpose  of  the  Agricul- 
tural Club  is  to  train  the  student  in  public  speaking  and  in 
preparing  for  leadership.  It  also  gives  an  opportunity  for 
gaining  a  greater  familiarity  with  the  general  trend  of  agri- 
culture.   Every  student  is  urged  to  become  a  member.

92  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

FOUR-MONTH    COURSE    IN    AGRICULTURE 

The  work  of  each  semester  of  the  One- Year  Course  out- 
lined above  has  been  so  planned  as  to  form  of  itself  a  well 
rounded  course  of  study  which  can  be  pursued  to  advantage 
by  those  unable  to  spend  more  than  four  months  at  the  Uni- 
versity. Each  of  these  Four-Month  Short  Courses,  one  of 
which  begins  on  September  23,  1919,  and  the  other  on  Febru- 
ary 9,  1920,  should  appeal  to  farmers  who  wish  to  increase 
their  productive  power,  to  young  men  who  expect  to  become 
farmers,  and  to  those  who  are  turning  from  other  lines  of 
work  in  order  to  obtain  the  advantages  of  countiy  life. 

Military  Drill  is  not  required  of  those  who  take  only  one  of 
these  courses,  but  is  required  of  those  who  take  both  during 
the  same  scholastic  year. 

TEN-DAY  COURSES  FOR  FARMERS 

Beginning  January  6th,  1920,  and  ending  January  16, 1920. 
The  Farmers*  Ten-Day  Courses  are  especially  suited  to  the 
needs  of  the  following  classes:  Farmers  of  all  ages  who 
recognize  their  need  for  some  training  in  scientific  agriculture 
in  order  to  render  more  etfective  the  practical  knowledge  they 
have  already  gained;  young  men  who  are  compelled  to  drop 
out  of  school  and  yet  desire  to  devote  a  short  time  to  special 
preparation  for  work  upon  the  farm;  city  students  who  wish 
to  fit  themselves  for  farm  life ;  colonists  who  wish  information 
regarding  Florida  conditions  and  methods. 

The  laboratory  equipment,  the  purebred  livestock,  and  the 
farms  will  be  available  for  instruction;  the  Agricultural  Ex- 
periment Station  will  afford  opportunity  for  observation  and 
inquiry.  Care  has  been  taken  to  meet  the  needs  of  practical 
farmers.  The  courses  will  consist  of  lectures,  laboratory 
work,  and  field  observations  and  demonstrations  in  general 
field  crops,  soils,  horticulture,  animal  husbandry,  dairying, 
poultry,  veterinary  science,  and  agricultural  engineering. 

There  are  no  age  limits  and  no  educational  requirements 
for  admission. 

Expenses. — The  necessary  expenses  for  those  who  board  at 
the  University  are : 

Board,  room,  heat,  light  for  eleven  days $11.00 

Laundry  and  incidentals   (estimated) 1.00 

Total $12.00 


COLLEGE  OF  AGRICULTURE  93 

CORRESPONDENCE  COURSES 

Dean  Rolfa  Miss  Vinson 

The  modern  university  does  not  limit  its  services  to  those 
that  come  to  study  on  the  campus,  the  number  of  whom  is 
necessarily  small,  but  seeks  to  extend  its  benefits  to  every 
community  in  its  state.  Hence  the  College  of  Agriculture 
endeavors,  thru  its  Extension  Division  and  its  Correspondence 
Courses,  to  reach  and  to  help  every  rural  district  in  Florida. 
The  Legislature  of  1909,  it  is  true,  authorized  instruction  in 
agriculture  in  the  public  schools ;  nevertheless,  there  are  many 
on  the  farm  who  still  feel  the  need  of  agricultural  training. 
It  is  for  these,  for  teachers,  for  prospective  farmers,  and  for 
new  settlers  unacquainted  with  Florida  conditions,  that  cor- 
respondence courses  are  offered. 

It  is  not  expected  that  these  courses  can  be  as  effective  as 
resident  study,  wherein  the  student  has  the  advantages  of 
laboratory  equipment  and  of  personal  contact  with  competent 
instructors.  But  those  who  cannot  attend  the  University  will 
find  the  courses  profitable  and  instructive.  Their  effective- 
ness is  limited  only  by  the  initiative  and  diligence  of  the 
student. 

Fourteen  courses,  organized  according  to  recognized  stand- 
ards, are  offered.  Others  will  be  added  as  rapidly  as  demands 
justify.  For  the  convenience  of  persons  who  wish  to  specialize 
in  some  branch  of  agriculture,  the  courses  given  are  grouped 
into  five  divisions.  Any  one  or  all  of  the  courses  may  be  taken. 
It  is  best,  however,  to  pursue  them  in  some  logical  order. 

(A)     For  Farmers, — The  following  courses  are  offered: 

Elementary  Agriculture  Breeds  of  Livestock,  Feeds  and 

Soils  Feeding 

Tillage  Dairy  Production 

Drainage  and  Irrigation  Swine  Production 

Manures  and  Fertilizers  Poultry  Production 

Fertilizers  and  Crops  (advanced         Citrus   Fruits   and   Citrus   Culture 

course)  Trucking 

Field  Crops  Cooperation  in  Agriculture 

These  are  grouped  under  the  heads:  Animal  Husbandry, 
Dairying,  Agronomy,  Citrus  Culture,  and  Trucking.  Element- 
ary Agriculture  stands  first  in  each  group  and  will  be  found 
invaluable  as  a  basis  for  practical  farming  and  further  study. 

The  agronomy  group  is  of  special  interest  to  those  living  in 
the  northern  and  western  parts  of  the  State,  the  citrus  and 


94  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

trucking  groups  to  those  in  the  southern  and  central  portions, 
dairying  and  animal  husbandry  to  those  living  anywhere  in 
Florida.  Those  wishing  to  specialize  in  some  branch  of  agri- 
culture will  find  the  groups  in  trucking,  citrus,  poultry,  and 
dairying  valuable.  The  general  farmer  will  be  interested  in 
animal  husbandry,  agronomy,  and  perhaps,  dairying. 

(B)  For  Teachers.  —  Only  Elementary  Agriculture  is 
necessary  for  teachers  preparing  for  examination  for  a  cer- 
tificate, nevertheless  they  would  find  all  the  courses  offered 
above  helpful,  as  they  cannot  hope  to  render  the  best  service 
without  additional  knowledge  of  agriculture. 

To  cover  office  expenses  a  registration  fee  of  $1.00  is 
charged  for  each  course.  Florida  students  pay  no  tuition  fee ; 
others  are  charged  a  nominal  sum,  the  amount  of  which  de- 
pends upon  the  course.  Students  must  buy  textbooks  and 
pay  postage  on  manuscripts  to  and  from  the  University.  Regis- 
tration may  be  made  at  any  time  during  the  year.  Both  men 
and  women  are  eligible.  Negroes  are  referred  to  the  Agricul- 
tural and  Mechanical  College  for  Negroes,  at  Tallahassee.  For 
further  information  apply  to  the  Dean  ®f  the  College  of  Ag- 
riculture. 

AGRICULTURAL  MEETINGS 

A  large  number  of  people  interested  in  agriculture  meet 
annually  at  the  University.  These  find  excellent  accommoda- 
tions and  facilities  better  for  their  purposes  than  anywhere 
else  in  the  State.  Laboratories,  classrooms,  and  exhibits,  as 
well  as  the  growing  crops,  barns,  and  other  equipment,  are 
placed  freely  at  their  service. 

The  following  meetings  were  held  during  the  past  year : 

1.  Ninth  Annual  Citrus  Seminar,  September  24-27. 

2.  Live-Stock  Round  Up,  September  24-27. 

8.     Tractor    and    Farm    Machinery    Exhibit,    September 
24-27. 

4.  County  Demonstration  Agents,  September  30-October  4. 

5.  Boys'  Short  Course  in  Agriculture,  December  10-14. 


AGRICULTURAL  EXPERIMENT  STATION  96 

AGRICULTURAL  EXPERIMENT  STATION 

P.  H.  Rolfs,  Director 

Staff.— P.  H.  Rolfs,  S.  E.  Collison,  B.  F.  Floyd,  J.  M. 
Scott,  C.  D.  Sherbakoff,  H.  E.  Stevens,  J.  B.  Thompson,  J.  E. 
Turlington,  G.  Umlauf,  T.  Van  Hyning,  S.  L.  Vinson,  J.  R. 
Watson. 

Aim  and  Scope. — Agricultural  experiment  stations  are 
institutions,  founded  by  Congressional  act,  the  purpose  of 
which  is  to  acquire  and  diffuse  agricultural  knowledge.  From 
the  enacting  clause  it  is  evident  that  Congress  intended  to 
establish  with  every  college  and  university  receiving  the 
benefits  of  the  original  "Land-Grant  Act"  an  institution  for 
purely  investigational  work.  The  Florida  Agricultural  Ex- 
periment Station  was  founded  in  1888  and  has  continued 
without  interruption.  Inasmuch  as  its  funds  are  received 
from  Federal  sources,  it  must  comply  with  the  requirements 
of  the  Federal  law.  Its  income  must  be  used  for  the  purpose 
of  acquiring  new  and  important  knowledge  in  regard  to  crops 
and  soils  and  no  part  can  be  expended,  directly  or  indirectly, 
for  teaching  purposes  or  for  holding  Farmers*  Institutes,  and 
only  five  per  cent  for  building  or  making  repairs.  In  order 
to  receive  the  benefits  of  the  Adams  fund,  the  Station  must 
submit  plans  for  proposed  experiments  to  the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Agriculture  for  approval  before  any  of  the  moneys  are 
spent  in  investigation. 

Advantages  of  Location.  —  The  advantages  of  having 
the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  at  the  University  are 
obvious.  At  frequent  intervals  the  investigators  deliver  pop- 
ular and  technical  lectures,  either  to  the  student-body  as  a 
whole  or  to  special  clubs  and  local  organizations.  As  the 
fields  and  orchards  of  the  Station  are  used  solely  for  experi- 
mental purposes  and  as  its  laboratories  are  planned  and  con- 
ducted for  research  work,  they  contribute  to  the  opportunities 
of  the  students  for  studying  methods  of  scientific  investiga- 
tion. Some  of  those  with  special  aptitude  have  an  opportunity 
of  assisting  the  specialists  in  charge. 

Minor  positions,  such  as  those  of  laboratory  assistant,  are 
occasionally  open  and,  whenever  practicable,  are  given  to 
graduates  of  the  University.    Such  assistants  are  paid  a  small 


96  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

salary  for  half  of  their  time  and  during  the  other  half  are 
free  to  take  studies  leading  to  higher  degrees. 

Building. — See  page  18. 

Lines  of  Investigation. — The  lines  of  investigation  car- 
ried on  fall  naturally  into  several  departments:  Horticulture, 
including  the  introduction,  breeding,  and  propagation  of 
plants ;  Animal  Industry,  including  the  study  of  feed  crops,  the 
effect  of  feeding  certain  crops  to  cattle  and  hogs  and  the 
growing  of  feed  and  forage  crops;  Agronomy,  including  the 
breeding  of  cotton,  corn,  and  other  farm  crops;  Plant  Path- 
ology, including  the  study  of  plant  diseases  produced  by  fungi 
and  bacteria;  Plant  Physiology,  including  the  study  of  plants 
as  affected  by  fertilizer  and  soil  conditions;  Chemistry,  in- 
cluding the  study  of  fertilizers  and  soils,  especially  as  to  their 
effects  on  plants ;  Entomology,  including  the  study  of  insecti- 
cides and  insects  and  their  parasites.  The  work  of  the  Station 
is,  however,  not  sharply  divided  among  these  different  depart- 
ments. The  Staff  formulate  what  are  known  as  projects,  the 
work  on  which  is  continued  regardless  as  to  whether  its  rami- 
fications take  it  into  one  or  another  department,  and  not  infre- 
quently two  or  more  departments  are  engaged  in  the  solution 
of  the  same  project — in  other  words,  the  work  is  limited  only 
by  the  abilities  of  the  Staff  and  the  resources  of  the  institution. 

Projects. — Some  of  the  more  important  projects  are : 

1.  The  study  of  soils  and  fertilizers  in  their  relation  to  plant  growth 
and  development. 

2.  The  study  of  certain  citrus  diseases,  such  as  Gumming,  Mela- 
nose,  Canker,  Anthracnose,  Blight,  and  Stem-End  Decay. 

3.  The  study  of  vegetable  diseases — cantaloupe  blight,  bacterial 
diseases  of  cucumbers  and  other  vegetables  and  seed  bed  diseases  affect- 
ing Lettuce,  Celery,  Eggplant,  and  Tomatoes. 

4.  The  study  of  a  disease  (hitherto  unstudied)  of  the  pecan  virhich  is 
affecting  this  crop  in  different  localities. 

5.  The  study  of  Pineapple  wilts. 

6.  The  study  of  Velvet  Bean  caterpillar. 

7.  The  control  of  Root-knot. 

8.  The  control  of  Camphor  and  other  thrips,  and  scale  insects. 

9.  Studies  in  the  effect  upon  citrus  trees  of  different  quantities  and 
combinations  of  the  nutrient  elements. 

10.  Experiments  in  milk,  pork,  and  beef  production  to  determine 
the  most  economical  feeds. 

11.  The  trying  out  of  different  forage  crops  for  all  kinds  of  live 
stock. 

12.  Experiments  with  different  kinds  of  silage  with  the  view  to 
determining  the  best  for  the  use  of  the  Florida  stock  raiser. 

13.  Studies  in  the  effect  of  different  fertilizing  material  on  the 
production  of  Irish  potatoes. 


UNIVERSITY  EXTENSION  97 

14.  Cooperative  experiments  with  farmers  in  various  sections  of 
the  State,  to  ascertain  the  value  of  different  new  forage  crops. 

15.  Study  of  diseases  and  insects  of  truck  crops. 

16.  Study  of  diseases  of  the  cotton  crop. 

Publications. — Compilations  and  information  of  a  gen- 
oral  nature  cannot  be  printed  from  Federal  funds,  hence  the 
publications  of  the  Experiment  Station  are  limited  to  reports 
of  work  done  by  members  of  its  Staff.  The  publications  per- 
missible fall  into  three  classes :  Bulletins,  Press  Bulletins,  and 
Annual  Reports.  The  Bulletins  contain  the  more  or  less  com- 
plete results  of  some  particular  investigation.  At  least  four 
are  issued  anually;  one  hundred  and  fifty-one  have  appeared. 
The  Press  Bulletins  are  prepared  in  order  to  bring  to  the 
citizens  of  Florida  information  connected  with  the  investiga- 
tions that  are  being  carried  on,  before  all  the  work  necessary 
for  the  publishing  of  a  Bulletin  has  been  completed.  They  are 
issued  at  short  intervals,  three  hundred  and  eight  having 
already  appeared.  The  Annual  Reports  contain  a  brief  state- 
ment of  the  work  done,  as  well  as  of  the  expenditure  of  funds. 
Twenty-eight  have  been  published. 

All  of  these  publications  are  distributed  free  upon  request.

GENERAL  STATEMENT 

The  Agricultural  Extension  Division,  having  in  view  the 
welfare  of  the  farm  family  as  a  whole,  supports  a  system  of 
practical  education.  It  teaches  the  results  of  scientific  experi- 
ments in  farm  crops  and  livestock,  in  orchards  and  gardens, 
as  well  as  gives  practical  information  gained  by  experience. 
It  offers  farm  women  instruction  in  home  economics — prac- 
tical instruction  in  the  home  or  at  a  community  center; 
scientific  instruction  thru  special  courses  at  the  State  College 
for  Women.  It  trains  the  boys  and  girls  of  farm  homes  thru 
corn,  pig,  canning,  and  preserving  clubs  and  thru  short  courses 
at  the  University  or  the  State  College.

the  late  Dr.  Seaman  A.  Knapp,  who  had  in  view  the  improve- 
ment of  rural  conditions  in  the  South.  The  Southern  Educa- 
tion Board  bore  the  entire  expense  until  1910  and  a  part  of 
the  expense  until  1913.    The  advent  and  spread  of  the  Texas

cotton  boll-weevil  proved  so  threatening  to  the  agricultural 
interests  of  Florida  that  in  1911  the  State  Legislature  made 
an  annual  appropriation  of  $5000  to  offset  Federal  funds 
already  appropriated  by  Congress.  The  good  accomplished 
and  the  increasing  need  led  in  1914  to  the  passage  by  Congress 
of  the  Smith-Lever  Bill. 

The  State  Legislature  has  enacted  laws  enabling  Florida 
to  secure  all  the  benefits  of  the  Smith-Lever  Act  and  of  other 
appropriations  of  Congress.  Hence,  at  the  beginning  of  the 
calendar  year  of  1919,  the  State  has  the  services  of  specialists 
for  the  promotion  of  its  livestock,  dairying,  fruit,  and  trucking 
interests,  as  well  as  its  proportionate  part  of  th| 
gency  Appropriation  of  1918  #y:^^ti^£Aj«Kict

Until  1913  the  Demonstration  Work-Jss^s  conducted  inde- 
pendently of  the  College  Jf A|rjcultur«jThe  Sgiitlrt|«yei* 
however,  requires  that  ^1  ^HCWMfff^Pf) P^PJ 
the  U.  S.  Department  of UfiiABfeStblfhy ktati 
to  a  plan  to  be  agreed  upon  by  the  ChiOT  of  the  Office  of  the 
Farmers'  Cooperative  Extension  Work,  representing  the  De- 
partment of  Agriculture,  and  by  the  Director  of  the  Agricul- 
tural Extension  Division,  representing  the  College  of  Agri- 
culture of  the  University.  Because  of  the  close  relationship 
existing  between  the  College  and  the  farming  interests  of  the 
State,  the  wisdom  of  these  provisions  is  self-evident. 

Smith-Lever  Act. — Thru  this  Act  of  Congress,  which 
went  into  effect  on  July  1,  1914,  the  College  receives  $10,000 
annually,  to  be  expended  for  Cooperative  Demonstration  Work 
in  Agriculture  and  Home  Economics.  An  additional  sum, 
increasing  annually,  also  becomes  available,  provided  the  State 
appropriates  an  equal  amount.  Each  succeeding  Legislature 
has  met  this  requirement.  The  total  amount  from  these 
sources  for  the  fiscal  year  of  1918-1919  is  $55,408.62. 

The  purpose  of  the  Act  may  be  seen  from  the  followino^ 
quotation : 

"That  cooperative  agricultural  extension  work  shall  consist  of  the 
giving  of  instruction  and  practical  demonstrations  in  agriculture  and 
home  economics  to  persons  not  attending  or  resident  in  said  colleges  in 
the  several  communities,  and  imparting  to  such  persons  information  on 


102  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

said  subjects  through  field  demonstrations,  publications,  and  otherwise; 
and  this  work  shall  be  carried  on  in  such  a  manner  as  may  be  mutually 
agreed  upon  by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  and  the  State  agricultural 
college  or  colleges  receiving  the  benefits  of  this  act." 

Organization. — The  organization  for  Florida  consists  of: 

The  Director,  the  chief  executive  in  shaping  and  directing 
policies. 

The  Assistant  Director,  who  supervises  the  work  carried 
on  at  headquarters  and  aids  in  directing  that  done  in  the  field. 
He  is  charged  with  the  direction  of  cooperative  specialists. 

The  State  Agent,  with  direct  supervision  of  County 
Agents.  His  duties  are  outlined  by  the  Chief  of  the  Farmers* 
Cooperative  Work,  Washington,  D.  C,  and  the  Director  of  the 
Agricultural  Extension  Division. 

The  State  Home  Demonstration  Agent,  who  has  general 
supervision  of  the  women's  and  girls'  work  carried  on  by 
the  County  Home  Demonstration  Agents. 

District  Agents,  who  visit  regularly  the  County  Agents, 
advising  them  and  planning  their  work.  For  the  men's  work 
the  State  is  divided  into  three  districts  of  eighteen  counties 
each:  (1)  North  and  East  Florida,  (2)  West  Florida,  and  (3) 
Central  and  South  Florida.  The  women's  work  is  supervised 
by  two  District  Agents,  working  under  the  State  Agent — one 
in  charge  of  West,  North,  and  East  Florida;  the  other  of 
Central  and  South  Florida. 

There  are  also  four  Assistant  District  Agents. 

Boys'  Agricultural  Club  Agents,  who  have  general  charge 
of  the  Corn,  Pig,  and  Peanut  Clubs  organized  by  County 
Agents  with  the  cooperation  of  teachers  and  superintendents 
of  public  schools. 

The  Poultry  Club  Agent,  in  charge  of  the  Women's  and 
Girls*  Poultry  Clubs  organized  by  County  Home  Demonstra- 
tion Agents. 

The  Home  Dairying  Agent,  who  seeks  by  stimulating  the 
production  of  sanitary  milk  and  good  butter  and  by  teaching 
the  proper  dietary  use  of  dairy  products  to  advance  the  dairy- 
ing interests  of  the  State. 

Specialists  from  the  Bureaus  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Agriculture,  assigned  to  work  with  the  Extension  Division. 
They  are  now  engaged  in  studying  the  subjects  mentioned  in 
the  General  Statement  under  §  IH. 

County  Agents,  who  visit  farms  and  homes  to  enlist  co- 


UNIVERSITY  EXTENSION  103 

operation  and  to  help  in  carrying  out  better  methods  of  farm- 
ing, or  of  home  economics,  that  may  serve  as  a  demonstration 
to  the  community,  organize  Farmers'  Cooperative  Associa- 
tions and  Agricultural  Clubs,  and  work  to  upbuild  agricultural 
interests  by  stimulating  the  production  of  crops  and  livestock. 
Each  County  Agent  has  a  centrally  located  office,  usually  at 
the  county  seat,  where  supplies,  records,  and  a  liberal  supply 
of  the  best  agricultural  literature  are  kept  and  where  he 
spends  one  day  each  week  for  consultations.  All  agents  are 
required  to  file  weekly,  monthly,  and  yearly  reports. 

County  Agents  are  selected,  on  recommendation  of  the 
State  Agent  and  his  assistants,  because  of  educational  quali- 
fications and  of  training  for  work  peculiar  to  the  conditions 
of  the  county  to  which  they  are  assigned. 

Counties  desiring  to  cooperate  are  required  to  defray  a 
part  of  the  expenses  incurred  by  the  employment  of  County 
Agents — a  minimum  of  $600  for  a  County  Demonstration 
Agent  and  from  $300  to  $400  for  a  Home  Demonstration 
Agent. 

For  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1918,  fifty-one  countiea 
made  appropriations  for  the  employment  of  County  Demon- 
stration Agents  and  forty-two  for  the  employment  of  Home 
Demonstration  Agents.  Counties  not  making  appropriations 
will  be  supplied  with  both  County  and  Home  Demonstration 
Agents  until  June  30, 1919,  from  Federal  Emergency  Funds. 

Schools  for  Demonstration  Agents. — The  Farm  Agents 
are  assembled  annually  for  instruction  at  the  University,  the 
Home  Agents  at  the  State  College  for  Women.  The  programs 
consist  of  lectures  by  the  professors  of  the  College  of  Agricul- 
ture and  the  members  of  the  Experiment  Station  Staff,  and  of 
papers  by  County  and  State  Agents  and  successful  farmers. 
Plans  for  the  year's  work  are  discussed  from  every  angle,  so 
that  the  greatest  amount  of  work  can  be  accomplished  with 
the  agencies  at  hand. 

Group  Meetings. — County  Agents  are  assembled  in  groups 
of  five  or  six  on  well-managed  farms  to  observe  the  best 
practices  and  to  secure  information  from  the  managers. 

BOYS'  WORK 

Corn  Clubs. — The  following  summary  of  the  work  accom- 
plished in  1918  shows  what  progress  the  Corn  Club  idea  has 
made  in  Florida: 


104  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

Total  number  of  boys  enrolled 1333 

Total  number  of  boys  reporting 292 

Average  number  of  bushels  per  acre 37.7 

Average  cost  per  bushel $0.50 

Total  number  of  bushels  reported 11,019.1 

Value  at  $1.75  per  bushel $19,283.42 

Total  cost  of  production $5,509.55 

Net  profit $13,773.87 

The  highest  yield — 115  bushels  at  a  cost  of  $0.12  per  bushel — was 
reported  by  Lawton  Martin,  of  Marion  county. 

Peanut  Clubs. — The  peanut  clubs  have  made  excellent 
progress.  Three  hundred  and  thirty-three  boys  grew  an  acre 
each  of  peanuts.  Some  used  these  crops  for  feed  without  har- 
vesting them.  Those  who  harvested  secured  profitable  yields. 
The  highest — 111  bushels  per  acre  at  a  cost  of  $0.20  per 
bushel,  being  reported  by  John  Bernath,  of  Santa  Rosa  County. 

Pig  Clubs. — These  clubs  had  in  1918  a  total  membership 
of  1496,  distributed  thruout  counties  having  Agents.  The 
breeds  represented  were:  Duroc  Jersey,  920;  Poland  China, 
375 ;  Hampshire,  130 ;  Berkshire,  71.  Two  hundred  and  twenty- 
five  boys  reported  weights  and  costs  of  feed.  A  summary  of 
their  reports  follows : 

No.  hogs  entered  for  county  contests.... ,. 225

WOMEN'S  WORK 

Girls'  Canning  Clubs. — Girls  between  the  ages  of  ten 
and  eighteen  are  eligible  for  membership.  Each  member  is 
required  to  grow  at  least  one-tenth  of  an  acre  of  vegetables 
under  the  supervision  of  the  County  Home  Demonstration 
Agent.  At  the  close  of  the  year's  work,  prizes  are  awarded 
on  the  basis  of  the  yield,  profit,  quality  of  product,  and  record. 
Prizes  consist  of  money,  household  appliances,  and  scholar- 
ships to  the  Short  Course  offered  by  the  State  College  for 
Women  at  Tallahassee. 

Girls'  Poultry  Clubs. —  These  are  organized  by   the 


UNIVERSITY  EXTENSION  105 

County  Home  Demonstration  Agents.  Girls  between  the  ages 
of  twelve  and  eighteen  who  have  been  successful  in  their 
canning-club  work  are  enrolled,  and  are  urged  to  secure  the 
same  breed  of  poultry,  to  give  proper  food  and  care,  and  to 
study  standards  of  perfection  and  marketing  methods. 

Work  in  Homes. — The  work  in  rural  homes,  which  is 
usually  taken  up  in  families  represented  in  a  Canning  Club, 
looks  forward  to  screening  the  house,  to  introducing  labor- 
saving  conveniences,  to  providing  an  economical  water  supply, 
to  disposing  properly  of  sewage,  to  economising  thru  the 
preservation  of  waste  vegetables  and  fruits,  and  to  studying 
food  conservation. 

The  work  in  city  homes  is  under  the  direction  of  the  State 
Agent  for  Home  Demonstration  Work  and  is  provided  for  by 
War  Emergency  funds.  Specialists  in  Home  Economics  are 
teaching,  in  nine  of  the  larger  cities  and  towns  of  the  State, 
food  and  fuel  conservation,  the  use  of  substitutes  for  wheat, 
meat,  and  for  animal  fats,  and  are  encouraging  city  gardening. 

BOYS'  AND  GIRLS'  CLUB  CONTESTS 

Contests  are  held  in  each  county  at  the  close  of  the  club 
year.  The  County  Agents  arrange  a  program  in  which  par- 
ents of  club  members  take  active  part.  The  boys  are  required 
to  bring  ten  ears  of  corn — ^the  girls,  samples  of  their  canned 
products — and  a  record  of  labor  and  cost  of  production. 

INSTITUTES 

Farmers*  Institutes. — Agricultural  Extension  work  in 
Florida  began  with  Farmers'  Institutes,  as  it  is  more  practical 
and  economical  for  farmers  to  meet  at  a  central  point  for 
instruction  and  have  their  problems  discussed  by  students  of 
agriculture  than  to  have  each  individual  travel  to  the  College 
for  the  same  information.  Without  a  systematic  arrangement 
to  meet  demands  for  Institutes,  unnecessary  travel  and  ex- 
pense would  be  incurred,  and  without  knowledge  of  the  farm- 
ing needs,  the  greatest  help  to  the  greatest  number  could  not  be 
given;  hence,  when  Institutes  are  desired,  applications  are  to 
be  filed  with  the  Director  of  the  Agricultural  Extension 
Division  and  arrangements  are  to  be  made  with  the  County 
Agents,  who  know  local  conditions. 

It  is  proposed  to  organize  Farmers'  Associations  in  com* 


106  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

munity  centers  in  every  county  in  order  to  secure  farm  loan.i, 
cooperative  marketing,  school  and  social  advantages,  and  a 
larger  production  of  farm  crops. 

Women's  Institutes. — Applications  for  Women's  Insti- 
tutes are  to  be  made  to  the  State  Home  Demonstration  Agent, 
Tallahassee,  Florida.  Arrangements  are  completed  by  the 
District  and  County  Home  Demonstration  Agents.  These  in- 
stitutes are  sometimes  held  independently  of  Farmers'  Insti- 
tutes, but  more  frequently  at  the  same  time  and  place. 
They  are  usually  most  effective  in  the  communities  where 
Canning  and  Rural  Betterment  clubs  have  been  organized  and 
where  the  fundamentals  of  preserving  have  been  taught  to 
the  girls.  Demonstrations  in  canning,  preserving,  handling 
milk  and  other  dairy  products  and  fresh  meats,  use  of  house- 
hold conveniences — such  as  the  iceless  refrigerator  and  fireless 
cooker — are  given  wherever  possible.  Women's  Institutes 
look  toward  the  organization  of  Home  Improvement  Clubs 
and  provide  a  working  plan  for  them. 

Field  Meetings. — Field  meetings  are  arranged  by  County 
Agents,  and  are  usually  held  on  the  farm  of  a  demonstrator 
who  is  carrying  out  their  instructions.  Neighboring  farmers 
assemble  to  discuss  the  crops  and  methods  of  culture.  A 
demonstration  with  hog-cholera  serum  or  in  spraying  fruit 
trees  or  a  cattle-dipping  frequently  takes  place. 

Results. — The  upward  tendency  of  the  agricultural  in- 
terests of  Florida  dates  from  the  beginning  of  systematic  In- 
stitutes. Before  this  many  counties  produced  very  little  either 
in  crops  or  in  improved  livestock ;  today  practically  all  produce 
a  fair  amount  of  corn,  hay,  and  other  staple  crops,  silos  and 
dipping  vats  have  come  into  general  use,  and  farmers  are 
breeding  purebred  stock  and  buying  from  other  states. 

The  total  production  of  corn  has  increased  from  6,584,000 
bushels  in  1908  to  15,073,000  bushels  in  1918.  The  increase 
during  this  ten-year  period  was  8,489,000  bushels,  or  129 
per  cent.  The  average  yield  per  acre  in  1908  was  10.5  bushels, 
in  1918  14  bushels.  The  reason  the  yield  per  acre  has  not 
increased  in  proportion  to  the  total  production  is  that  more 
farmers  have  adopted  the  plan  of  growing  peanuts  or  velvet 
beans  with  their  corn,  thereby  getting  two  good  crops  grown 
on  the  same  land  at  the  same  time. 


UNIVERSITY  EXTENSION  107 

The  production  of  other  staple  crops  shows  a  similar  im- 
provement.

HOG-CHOLERA  CONTROL 

The  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  U.  S.  D.  A.,  has  assigned 
to  the  College  of  Agriculture  a  specialist  to  assist  County 
Agents  in  waging  a  spirited  campaign  against  hog  cholera  and 
other  hog  diseases.     Farmers  are  instructed  how  to  prevent 


108  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

infection  of  their  herds  and  how  to  check  an  incipient  out- 
break; demonstrations  with  hog-cholera  serum  are  given  on 
farms  where  hog  cholera  is  present.  The  work  is  planned  so 
that  as  many  farmers  as  possible  may  profit  by  the  instruction 
and  demonstrations.

GENERAL  STATEMENT 

Aim  and  Scope. — ^It  is  the  aim  of  the  College  of  Engi- 
neering to  furnish  such  training  as  will  be  useful  to  its 
graduates  in  the  profession  of  engineering.  Its  courses  of 
instruction  are  similar  to  those  of  other  American  engineer- 
ing schools  of  college  grade;  its  graduates  are  prepared  to 
fill  such  positions  as  are  usually  allotted  to  young  engineers. 

Scholastic  training  alone  cannot  make  a  competent  en- 
gineer, any  more  than  it  can  make  a  competent  physician  or 
lawyer.  It  can,  however,  fit  a  man  to  enter  the  profession  of 
engineering;  and  it  is  an  important  element  in  ultimate  suc- 
cess in  that  profession. 

The  work  of  the  College  is  divided  among  courses  of  study 
of  the  following  types:  (1)  Courses  in  the  sciences  funda- 
mental to  the  practice  of  engineering,  of  which  mathematics, 
chemistry,  and  physics  are  the  most  important;  (2)  courses  in 
various  branches  of  engineering  practice  in  which  those 
sciences  are  applied,  such  as  structural  engineering,  steam  and 
gas  engineering,  or  electrical  engineering;  (3)  courses  in 
practical  work,  such  as  mechanic  arts,  drafting,  or  surveying ; 
and  (4)  courses  contributing  primarily  to  general  culture, 
such  as  those  in  English  and  in  Spanish. 

Buildings  and  Equipment. — The  headquarters  and  prin-

gineering  Hall,  as  well  as  by  temporary  use  of  a  separate  build- 
ing.    (See  page  18.) 

Part  of  the  work  of  the  College  of  Engineering  coincides 
with  that  of  the  other  colleges  of  the  University ;  for  such  work 
the  same  classrooms  and  laboratories  are  utilized. 

Admission. — See  pages  36  to  42,  inclusive. 

Benton  Engineering  Society. — ^Weekly  meetings  of  this 
society  are  held,  at  which  each  member  in  turn  presents  a 
paper  on  some  topic  of  interest  to  engineering  students.  Mem- 
bership is  strongly  urged  upon  every  student  in  the  College. 

Expenses. — See  page  31. 

Curricula  and  Degrees. — Four  curricula,  each  requiring 
four  years,  are  offered.  They  lead  to  the  degrees  of  Bach- 
elor of  Science  in  Civil  Engineering  (B.S.C.E.),  in  Electrical 
Engineering  (B.S.E.E.),  in  Mechanical  Engineering  (B.S.M. 
E.),  and  in  Chemical  Engineering  (B.S.Ch.E.),  respectively. 

The  Freshman  year  is  the  same  for  all  engineering  stu- 
dents; the  Sophomore  year  for  electrical  and  mechanical  en- 
gineering students.  The  work  in  English,  Spanish,  mathe- 
matics, mechanics,  and  physics  is  the  same  thruout  the  cur- 
riculum, for  all  engineering  students,  and  in  part  coincides 
with  that  provided  for  students  in  the  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences.  All  engineering  students  take  some  work  in  chem- 
istry, drafting,  and  shop  practice,  but  the  time  devoted  to 
these  subjects  varies  in  the  different  curricula. 

The  degree  C.E.,  Ch.E.,  E.E.,  or  M.E.,  may  be  granted  to 
a  graduate  of  the  College  upon  recommendation  of  the  head  of 
the  department  in  which  it  is  sought,  and  with  the  concurrence 
of  the  Faculty  of  the  College,  provided  the  candidate  submits 
evidence  that  he  has  had,  susequent  to  graduation,  from  two 
to  five  years  of  successful  and  responsible  engineering  practice. 
The  length  of  time  demanded  will  depend  on  the  character  of 
the  professional  experience,  and  on  the  average  grade  which 
the  candidate  obtained  while  an  undergraduate,  which  must 
be  90  or  more  in  order  to  obtain  the  degree  in  two  years.  By 
"responsible"  experience  is  meant  work  in  which  the  candi- 
date has  to  use  his  own  initiative,  as  distinguished  from  the 
mere  rendering  of  routine  assistance. 

The  Bachelor  degree  (B.S.C.E.,  B.S.Ch.E.,  B.S.E.E.,  or  B.S. 
M.E.)  indicates  merely  the  completion  of  a  course  of  study  in 
the  theory  of  engineering;  while  the  later  degree  (C.E,,  Ch.E.^ 


COLLEGE  OF  ENGINEERING  111 

E.E.,  or  M.E.)  indicates  demonstrated  proficiency  in  the  prac- 
tice of  some  branch  of  engineering.  Every  student  of  engi- 
neering should  look  forward  to  obtaining  one  of  these  degrees 
eventually. 

To  obtain  one  of  these  degrees  application  should  be  made 
to  the  Dean  of  the  College  not  later  than  April  1st  preceding 
the  Commencement  at  which  the  degree  may  be  awarded. 

Army  Training  School. — At  the  request  of  the  War  De- 
partment, the  College  undertook  the  vocational  instruction  of 
about  three  hundred  enlisted  men.  This  work  was  begun  on 
June  15,  1918,  and  continued  until  November  30,  1918.  See 
page  124.

DEPARTMENTS  OF  INSTRUCTION 

CIVIL  ENGINEERING 

Professor  Thoroughgood         Asst.  Prof.  Smith 

The  courses  in  this  department  are  designed  to  give  the 
student  a  comprehensive  grasp  of  the  principles  underlying 
the  practice  of  Civil  Engineering,  so  that  on  graduation  he 
will  be  fitted  to  enter  at  once  upon  field  or  office  work  in  his 
profession. 

The  work  of  instruction  is  carried  on  by  means  of  as- 
signed recitations  from  standard  textbooks,  combined  with 
laboratory,  field,  and  drawing-room  exercises  for  the  purpose 
of  emphasizing  the  practical  side  of  the  subject. 

For  equipment,  see  page  24. 

A  cement  and  concrete  laboratory  has  recently  been  in- 
stalled for  the  testing  of  cement  and  concrete.  This  labora- 
tory is  of  late  design  and  is  a  substantial  addition  to  the  other 
laboratory  facilities  of  the  department. 

In  addition  to  the  facilities  afforded  directly  for  the  study 
of  Civil  Engineering,  there  will  be  found  in  the  general  library 
a  considerable  literature  on  this  and  allied  subjects:  more  ex- 
haustive treatises,  as  well  as  the  current  literature  from  which 
the  student  may  keep  abreast  of  up-to-date  practice.

practical  lines.  In  the  drafting-room  and  various  shops,  the 
best  practical  methods  are  always  kept  in  mind.  System,  ac- 
curacy, and  neatness  are  insisted  upon.  Engineering  maga- 
zines and  catalogs  of  the  best  machinery  are  accessible  to  the 
students,  who  are  encouraged  to  read  them.  While  acquaint- 
ing students  with  practical  methods,  the  aim  is  to  produce 
engineers  of  independent  thought  and  original  power.  In  all 
possible  ways  the  student  is  encouraged  to  think  for  himself —

GENERAL  STATEMENT 

Under  arrangement  with  the  Committee  on  Education  and 
Special  Training  of  the  U.  S.  War  Department,  vocational 
instruction  was  given  to  enlisted  men  in  various  specific  trades 
useful  in  the  Army.  The  men  were  under  regular  army  dis- 
cipline and  while  here,  in  addition  to  vocational  training,  re- 
ceived military  training  under  the  following  officers: 

Alfred  S.  Knight,  Captain,  Inf.  U.  S.  A.,  Commanding 
Officer. 

Hugh  B.  Mahood,  Captain,  Medical  Corps  U.  S.  A. 

Robert  K.  Osborne,  1st  Lieut.  Inf.  U.  S.  A. 

Charles  R.  Crossett,  1st  Lieut.  Inf.  U.  S.  A.

Joseph  V.  McKenna,  2nd  Lieut.  Inf.  U.  S.  A. 

Raymond  W.  Hogan,  2nd  Lieut.  Q.  M.  Corps  U.  S.  A. 

The  first  detachment  (275  men,  all  from  Florida)  arrived 
on  June  15  and  left  on  August  13.  The  occupations  for  which 
these  men  were  trained  are  listed  below,  together  with  the 
number  of  men  in  each,  and  the  names  of  the  instructors : 

Bench  Woodworkers,  20 ;  H.  B.  Foster. 

Carpenters,  23;  F.  H.  Winston. 

Chauffeurs  (Army  truck  drivers),  100;  E.  D.  Hulbert,

The  numbers  of  men  given  above  are  those  called  for  by 
contract  and  differed  slightly  from  the  actual  number  in  at- 
tendance, which  was  usually  greater  at  the  beginning  of  the 
period  of  instruction  and,  owing  to  discharges,  less  at  the  end. 

The  contract  between  the  War  Department  and  the  Uni- 
versity called  for  the  instruction  of  four  additional  detach- 
ments of  enlisted  men  of  270  men  each,  to  arrive  on  October 
15,  1918;  December  15,  1918;  February  15,  1919;  and  April 
15,  1919.  The  occupations  to  be  taught  and  the  number  of 
men  called  for  in  each  by  the  contract  are  shown  below,  to- 
gether with  the  instructors  appointed :

Surveyors,  20 ;  H,  L»  Thompson. 

Telephone  Linemen,  20;  L.  E.  Means,  Jr. 

With  the  arrival  of  peace,  the  need  for  further  vocational 
training  of  soldiers  ceased,  consequently  the  War  Department 
did  not  send  the  men  for  whom  it  had  contracted  after  October 
15.  The  staff  of  the  Army  Training  School  was  disbanded  on 
December  13.

GENERAL  STATEMENT 

Aim  and  Scope.- — In  1891,  the  American  Bar  Association 
declared  that  in  its  opinion  it  was  a  part  of  the  highest  duty 
and  interest  of  every  civilized  state  to  make  provision,  when 
necessary,  for  maintaining  schools  of  law  and  for  the  thoro 
legal  education  of  all  who  are  licensed  to  practice  law.  Rec- 
ognizing the  soundness  of  this  doctrine  and  desiring  to  dis- 
charge this  duty  on  the  part  of  Florida,  the  State  Board  of 
Education  and  the  Board  of  Control  provided  for  the  opening 
of  the  College  of  Law  in  the  University  in  September,  1909. 
The  advantages  to  accrue  to  the  State  from  having,  as  a  part 
of  its  educational  system,  a  thoro  and  systematic  course  of 
instruction  in  the  common  law,  with  special  consideration  of 
the  peculiarities  and  exceptions  applicable  in  Florida,  are  many 
and  evident. 

It  was  the  purpose  of  the  Board  of  Control  to  establish 
a  law  school  which,  by  the  quality  of  its  work  and  char- 
acter of  its  equipment,  would  merit  and  command  the  con- 
fidence and  support  of  the  bench  and  bar.  That  the  hopes 
of  accomplishing  these  results  were  well  founded  and  that 
gratifying  progress  towards  these  ends  has  been  made,  are 
shown  by  the  number  and  character  of  those  who  have  availed 
themselves  of  the  advantages  offered. 

Requirements  for  Admission. — See  pages  36  to  42,  in- 
clusive. 

Special  Students. — See  "Adult  Specials",  page  29.  If 
entrance  conditions  are  removed  not  later  than  the  opening  of 
the  Senior  year,  such  students  may  become  regular  students 
and  candidates  for  a  degree. 

Advanced  Standing. — No  work  in  law  done  in  other  in- 
stitutions will  be  accepted  towards  a  degree,  unless  the  appli- 
cant passes  satisfactorily  the  examinations  held  in  the  sub- 


*To  be  elected. 


COLLEGE  OF  LAW  127 

jects  in  question  in  this  College,  or  unless,  by  special  vote  of 
the  Faculty,  credit  is  given  without  examination.  In  no  case 
will  credit  be  given  for  work  not  done  in  residence  at  an  ap- 
proved law  school. 

Examinations. — The  last  wgsk  of  each  semester  is  de- 
voted to  examinations  covering  the  work  of  the  semester. 
These  examinations  are  in  writing  and  are  rigid  and  search- 
ing, but  are  not  necessarily  final. 

University  Practice  Courts. — Thoroly  organized  prac- 
tice courts  are  regular  features  of  the  course  of  instruction  in 
the  third  year.  The  object  is  to  give  the  student  practical 
instruction  in  pleading  and  practice  at  law  and  in  equity,  and 
experience  in  the  preparation  and  trial  of  cases.  The  work 
is  arranged  as  follows : 

First. — Cases  arising  upon  prepared  statements  of  fact  are 
assigned,  upon  which  the  students  are  to  determine  what  pro- 
ceedings to  bring  and  how  to  bring  them,  issue,  serve,  and 
return  process,  prepare  the  pleadings  and  bring  the  case  to  an 
issue  on  a  question  of  law.  The  case  is  heard  on  the  sufficiency 
of  the  form  and  the  structure  of  the  pleadings ;  when  these  are 
approved  the  issue  of  law  is  argued  and  decided,  the  students 
acting  as  attorneys  drawing  the  order,  judgment,  or  decree 
to  which  they  deem  themselves  entitled. 

SecoTid. — In  the  second  class  of  cases,  actual  controversies 
are  arranged  and  assigned  for  trial  in  the  Circuit  Court  as 
issues  of  fact.  After  determining  what  action  to  bring,  the 
students  assigned  to  the  case  are  required  to  issue  the  proper 
process  and  prepare  and  file  the  necessary  pleadings,  subpoena 
the  witnesses,  select  the  jury,  examine  and  cross-examine  the 
witnesses,  and  argutf  the  case  to  the  jury.  Each  student  is 
required  to  participate  in  the  trial  of  at  least  one  common-law, 
one  equity,  and  one  criminal  case  and  is  instructed  in  appellate 
procedure. 

Library. — The  Law  Library  contains : 

Three  sets  of  Florida  Reports  with  Wurts*  Digest  and  Supplement; 
Shepard's  Florida  Citations;  The  Session  Laws  of  Florida  from  1822  to

who  will  render  needed  aid  to  the  students. 

Marshall  Debating  Society. — Early  in  the  first  year  of 
the  College  the  students  organized  a  society  that  would  secure 
to  its  members  practice  in  debating  and  public  speaking  and 
experience  in  arguing  legal  questions,  as  well  as  drill  in  parlia- 
mentary law.  The  society  was  fittingly  named  "The  Marshall 
Debating  Society",  in  honor  of  the  memory  of  the  distinguished 
Southern  jurist,  John  Marshall.  Membership  and  work  in 
the  society  are  limited  to  students  in  the  College  of  Law,  but 
the  Faculty  give  all  possible  assistance  and  encouragement. 

University  PRiviLEGES.~The  advantages  of  the  other  col- 
leges of  the  University  are  open  to  such  students  in  the  Col- 
lege of  Law  as  desire  and  are  able  to  accept  them.  Courses 
in  Constitutional  and  Political  History,  International  Law, 
Political  Economy,  Logic,  Rhetoric,  and  English  Composition 
are  particularly  recommended.   No  extra  charge  will  be  made

for  such  courses,  but  they  can  be  taken  only  with  the  consent 
of  the  Law  Faculty  and  of  the  professors  concerned. 

Degrees. — The  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Laws  (LL.B.)  is  con- 
ferred upon  those  who  satisfactorily  complete  the  courses  of 
study.  Students  admitted  to  advanced  standing  may,  if  they 
do  satisfactorily  the  work  prescribed,  receive  the  degree  after 
one  year's  residence,  but  in  no  case  will  the  degree  be  granted 
unless  the  candidate  is  in  actual  residence  during  all  of  the 
third  year. 

Students  who  have  complied  with  all  the  requirements  for 
the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Laws  (LL.B.),  who  have  maintained 
an  average  standing  in  their  law  studies  10%  above  the  passing 
mark,  and  who  have  obtained  the  degree  of  A.B.,  or  an  equiva- 
lent degree,  from  an  approved  college  or  university,  or  who 
secure  such  degree  the  same  year  they  complete  their  law 
course,  will  be  awarded  the  degree  of  Juris  Doctor  (J.D.) . 

Combined  Academic  and  Law  Course. — By  pursuing  an 
approved  course  of  collegiate  and  law  studies,  a  student  may 
earn  both  the  academic  and  the  legal  degree  in  six  years. 
(See  page  47.) 

Expenses. — A  tuition  fee  of  $20.00  per  semester,  payable 
in  advance,  is  charged  all  law  students,  except  those  taking 
less  than  eleven  hours  of  work,  who  are  charged  a  propor- 
tional part  of  the  full  tuition.  For  the  first  two  years  of  the 
course  the  required  law  books  new  will  cost  about  $41.00 
each  year;  and  for  the  Senior  year,  about  $51.00.  Students 
also  are  urged  to  provide  themselves  with  the  statutes  of  their 
own  state  and  a  law  dictionary.  Many  of  these  books,  how- 
ever, will  form  a  nucleus  of  the  student's  future  library ;  and 
by  the  purchase  of  second-hand  books  the  cost  may  be  ma- 
terially reduced.     (See  also  page  31.) 

Admission  to  the  Bar. — Upon  presenting  their  diplomas, 
duly  issued  by  the  proper  authorities,  and  upon  furnishing 
satisfactory  evidence  that  they  are  twenty-one  years  of  age 
and  of  good  moral  character,  the  graduates  of  the  College  are 
licensed  by  the  Supreme  Court,  without  examination,  to  prac- 
tice in  the  Courts  of  Florida.  They  also  are  admitted  without 
examination  to  the  United  States  District  Court  for  the  North- 
ern District  of  Florida.

COURSE  OF  INSTRUCTION 

The  course  of  instruction  extends  thru  three  years  of 
thirty-five  weeks  each,  exclusive  of  vacations.  The  academic 
year  is  divided  into  two  semesters,  the  first  having  eighteen 
weeks  and  the  second  seventeen. 

The  method  of  instruction  combines  the  use  of  textbooks, 
court  rules,  statutes,  and  selected  cases.  Each  case  is  care- 
fully studied  by  the  student,  and  in  the  classroom  he  is  re- 
quired to  analyze  it,  giving  in  his  own  language  a  clear  and 
concise  statement  of  the  essential  facts,  the  issues  involved  in 
the  case,  the  law  governing  it,  and  the  reasoning  of  the  court 
for  the  conclusion  reached.  This  practice  tends  to  thoroness 
in  reading,  care  in  reasoning,  and  accuracy  on  the  part  of  the 
student  in  the  art  of  expression. 

In  connection  with  this  case  work,  the  student  studies  a 
well- written  textbook  on  the  subject  under  consideration.  This 
gives  him  a  systematic  summary  of  the  same,  more  detailed 
information  concerning  the  application  of  the  law  in  particu- 
lar instances,  and  an  outline  of  the  exceptions  to  and  limita- 
tions upon  the  general  principles  considered  in  the  cases. 

Particular  stress  is  placed  upon  the  statutory  modifications 
of  the  common  law  and  the  recent  decisions  of  the  courts.  This 
is  true  in  every  subject  in  the  curriculum ;  but  it  is  especially 
emphasized  in  Pleading,  Practice,  and  Evidence,  as  the  course 
of  study  is  designed  to  instruct  the  student  thoroly  in  the  pe- 
culiarities of  procedure,  so  that  he  will  be  able  understandingly 
to  enter  upon  the  practice  of  law.  Students  are  offered  the 
option  of  intensive  training  under  either  the  code  or  the  com- 
mon law. 

With  these  ends  in  view,  the  following  course  of  study 
has  been  prepared :

GENERAL  STATEMENT 

The  Teachers  College  and  Normal  School  is  a  professional 
school,  the  main  purpose  of  which  is  to  train  young  men  for 
positions  in  the  public-school  system  of  the  State  as  teachers, 
principals,  supervisors,  or  as  county  or  city  superintendents 
of  public  instruction.  Its  Review  Courses  are  intended  to 
prepare  for  the  examinations  for  County  and  State  Certifi- 
cates. For  those  not  wishing  to  become  teachers  it  offers 
courses  giving  the  information  about  and  the  insight  into 
modern  educational  problems  that  every  intelligent  citizen 
should  possess. 

Vocational  Education. — By  Act  of  the  Legislature  of 
1917  the  University  was  designed  as  the  institution,  under 
the  Smith-Hughes  Act,  for  training  teachers  for  Agriculture 
and  for  Trades  and  Industries.  Tentative  curricula  for  Agri- 
cultural Education  and  for  the  Trades  and  Industries  have 
been  outlined.  It  is  hoped  that  a  large  number  of  students  will 
register  for  these  courses.  Many  teachers  of  these  subjects

main  phenomena  of  mental  life,  to  furnish  the  student  with 
the  concepts  and  terms  which  will  constantly  recur  in  his 
further  study  and  to  prepare  candidates  for  the  examination 
on  psychology  for  the  State  Certificate.  The  textbook  pre-

methods  of  study  and  of  teaching.  The  student  will  be  shown 
the  best  methods  of  study  that  psychological  laws  indicate 
and  he  will  be  urged  to  pattern  his  own  habits  of  study 
accordingly.  General  principles  and  methods  of  teaching  will 
be  stressed.  (Required  of  Freshmen;  second  semester;  3

two  main  purposes:  first,  to  lead  the  student  to  appreciate

Seniors;  first  semester;  3  hours.) 

Education  VI6.* — Practice  Teaching. — Knowledge  of  the 
principles,  theory,  and  history  of  education  will  better  fit  any

This  course  is  planned  to  give  the  student  practice  in  con- 
ducting recitations  under  close  supervision.  Lesson  plans  will 
be  required  for  all  recitations,  and  the  manner  of  teaching

ITINERANT  PLAN  OF  TRAINING  INDUSTRIAL  TEACHERS 

Under  the  Smith-Hughes  Act  there  are  two  types  of 
teachers  of  trade  and  industrial  education :  the  shop  teacher, 
who  gives  instruction  in  the  actual  shop  or  trade  manipulative 
subjects — carpentry,  machine  shop,  blacksmithing,  printing, 
etc.;  the  related-subject  teacher,  who  teaches  the  technical 
branches  relating  to  the  trade — drawing,  related  mathematics 
or  science. 


TEACHERS  COLLEGE  147 

In  cooperation  with  the  State  Board  for  Vocational  Edu- 
cation, the  University  is  securing  as  many  as  possible  related- 
subject  teachers  from  the  industries  of  the  State,  altho  a  few 
may  be  obtained  from  among  the  members  of  the  teaching  pro- 
fession. All  of  the  shop  teachers  will  be  obtained  from  the 
industries.  Prospective  trade  and  industrial  teachers  are 
selected  because  of  their  industrial  experience,  education, 
moral  and  civic  ideals,  and  potential  teaching  ability,  which 
qualifications  are  determined  mainly  by  personal  interview 
and  by  careful  inquiry  of  fellow-workmen  and  employers. 
Once  selected,  these  prospective  teachers,  obviously  varying 
greatly  in  preparation,  are  grouped  in  evening  classes  in  their 
home  cities  and  trained  by  a  representative  of  the  University 
in  the  art  of  teaching,  altho  as  much  as  possible  of  the  work 
in  Practice-Teaching  is  done  in  Part  Time  classes. 

As  demand  arises,  those  who  have  successfully  completed 
the  course  are,  with  the  approval  of  the  State  Board  for  Voca- 
tional Education,  put  into  service  by  local  boards.  Fifteen 
men  have  up  to  the  present  time  been  thus  trained  and  im- 
mediately afterwards  placed  in  teaching  positions. 

The  subjects  taught  are  divided  into  four  groups,  each 
usually  requiring  thirty  hours  for  completion.  If  possible, 
however,  much  more  than  thirty  hours  will  be  devoted  to  the 
Practice-Teaching,  especially  as  thru  this  most  of  the  Obser- 
vation will  also  be  accomplished. 

The  course  will  in  general  be  as  follows: 

A. — History  and  Development  of  the  Vocational  Education 
Movement;  Mechanics  of  Teaching;  Shop  Organization;  Edu- 
cational Law  (State  and  National)  ;  Trade  Analysis  for  Edu- 
cational Purposes. 

B.  —  Applied  Science ;  Shop  Mathematics ;  Mechanical 
Drawing  and  Design ;  Industrial  Methods. 

C. — Practice-Teaching. 

D. — Practice-Teaching;  Observation;  Making  Up  Deficien- 
cies in  Trade  or  General  Education  and  in  Trade  Experience.

PRACTICE  HIGH  SCHOOL 

The  former  Sub-Collegiate  division  of  the  University  has 
been  so  widened  as  to  make  it  a  practice  and  model  school  for 
the  students  of  education.  Here  student-teachers  will  have 
opportunity  to  observe  the  methods  of  skilled  instructors,  as 
well  as  to  practice  teaching,  under  guidance,  the  high-school 
subjects  in  which  they  are  most  interested. 

Admission. — Only  graduates  of  Junior  high  schools,  or 
pupils  who  have  finished  work  equal  to  that  of  the  tenth 
grade,  will  be  admitted.  No  pupil  will  be  enrolled  who  has  not 
completed  the  course  offered  by  the  high  school  at  his  home,  ex- 
cept upon  the  written  application  of  parent  or  guardian,  ac- 
companied by  the  endorsement  of  his  high-school  principaL 
The  number  admitted  to  either  grade  will  be  limited  to  twenty- 
five. 

Restrictions. — The  pupils  of  the  Practice  High  School 


156  UNIVERSITY  OF  FLORIDA 

are  considered  boys  and  are  not  permitted  to  join  any  class, 
society,  fraternity,  athletic  team,  or  other  organization  con- 
ducted for  or  by  the  University  students.  A  pupil  violating 
this  regulation  will  be  required  to  withdraw  immediately  from 
the  High  School.  Pledging  one's  self  to  join  in  subsequent 
years  a  fraternity  is  considered  a  flagrant  violation  of  the 
regulation. 

Studies. — The  work  is  that  of  the  eleventh  and  twelfth 
grades  of  the  standard  high  schools  of  Florida.  Not  less  than 
sixteen  nor  more  than  twenty  hours  may  be  taken  in  any  one 
year  except  by  special  permission ;  all  choice  is  subject  to  the 
approval  of  the  Dean  of  the  Teachers  College.

STATE  HIGH  SCHOOL  INSPECTION 

This  division  of  the  College  was  made  possible  thru  the 
liberality  of  the  General  Education  Board  of  New  York.  (See 
page  13.) 

Professor  W.  S.  Cawthon  will  visit  and  inspect  the  high 
schools  of  the  State,  and  promote  in  every  way  possible  their 
development.  He  will  give  what  aid  he  can  toward  estab- 
lishing high  schools  where  they  do  not  exist.  Whenever  re- 
quested, he  will  gladly  discuss  with  school  officials  or  private 
citizens  any  educational  matter  that  may  tend  toward  the 
welfare  and  improvement  of  those  already  established. 

TEACHERS'  EMPLOYMENT  BUREAU 

This  Bureau  was  instituted  to  assist  teachers  who  had  at- 
tended the  University  in  securing  positions  and  to  furnish 
schools  with  efficient  instructors.  At  the  request  of  many 
school  officials,  and  because  of  the  difficulty,  due  to  the  scarcity 
of  trained  teachers,  that  county  superintendents  and  high- 
school  principals  often  encounter  in  filling  vacancies,  the  serv- 
ices of  the  Bureau  have  been  placed  at  the  disposal  of  every 
good  teacher  in  the  State.  The  cooperation  of  superintendents, 
principals,  and  teachers  is  invited.  Officials  needing  trained 
men  or  women,  and  teachers  desiring  promotion  or  change, 
are  asked  to  call  upon  the  Bureau  for  its  aid.  No  charges  are 
made  for  services.

GENERAL  STATEMENT 

Because  of  the  demand  for  instruction  on  the  part  of 
those  unable  to  attend  an  institution  of  learning,  several  cor- 
respondence courses  are  offered.  These  may  be  begun  at  any 
time  during  the  regular  session  of  the  University  and  will,  if 
successfully  completed,  entitle  the  student  to  a  certificate  or  to 
credit  towards  a  degree  or  diploma  from  the  Teachers  College 
and  Normal  School.

GENERAL  STATEMENT 

The  University  Summer  School  was  provided  for  by  the 
"Summer  School  Act"  passed  by  the  Legislature  of  1913. 

The  entire  equipment  of  the  University  is  at  the  service  of 
the  faculty  and  students.  Ample  provision  is  made  for  in- 
tellectual recreation  and  physical  exercise.  The  Peabody  Lit- 
erary Society  meets  weekly;  lectures  or  concerts  are  given 
frequently ;  the  gymnasium,  swimming-pool,  baseball  grounds, 
and  tennis  courts  are  at  the  disposition  of  the  students  and  an 
instructor  is  at  hand  to  direct  athletic  activities. 

Regulations. — To  fulfill  its  highest  mission  the  Summer 
School  should  not  be  utilized  merely  for  the  purpose  of  "cram- 
ming" for  examinations.  It  is  therefore  hoped  that  all  teach- 
ers will  recognize  the  wisdom  of  the  Summer  School  Board  in 
establishing  the  following  regulations: 

1.  No  teacher  shall  be  allowed  to  take  more  than  twenty  hours  per 
week  of  purely  academic  subjects. 

2.  No  teacher  shall  take  less  than  five  hours  per  week  of  professional 
work. 

3.  The  maximum  number  of  hours  per  week,  including  professional,, 
vocational,  and  academic  subjects,  shall,  in  no  case,  exceed  twenty-seven. 
Two  laboratory  hours  shall  count  as  one  hour  of  academic  work. 


UNIVERSITY  SUMMER  SCHOOL  159 

Credit  for  Work. — Attention  is  directed  to  the  following 
sections  of  the  "Summer  School  Act" : 

CREDIT  TOWARDS  NORMAL  SCHOOL  AND  COLLEGE  DEGREES 

Sec.  5. — "All  work  conducted  at  the  said  Summer  Schools  shall  be  of 
such  character  as  to  entitle  the  students  doing  the  same  to  collegiate, 
normal,  or  professional  credit  therefor,  and  may  be  applied  towards 
making  a  degree." 

In  order  to  carry  out  the  spirit  of  this  provision,  the  Uni- 
versity allows,  under  restrictions,  a  maximum  of  four  and  a 
half  credit  hours  for  work  done  at  any  one  session  of  the  Sum- 
mer School  and  recognizes  attendance  at  three  sessions  as 
satisfying  the  residence  requirements  for  securing  a  Normal 
School  Certificate  or  a  degree  from  the  Teachers  College.  By 
combining  credits  gained  at  the  Summer  School  with  those 
gained  in  the  Correspondence  School,  it  is  possible  for  a  teacher 
to  secure  a  certificate  or  a  degree  without  losing  a  prohibitive 
amount  of  time  from  his  work.  Certificates  and  degrees  se- 
cured in  this  way  are  awarded,  when  so  desired,  on  the  last 
day  of  a  session  of  the  Summer  School. 

Sec.  6.  "All  teachers  attending  any  of  the  Summer  Schools  herein 
created  and  whose  work  entitles  them  to  credit  therefor,  upon  making 
proof  of  the  same  to  the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  are 
hereby  entitled  to  one  year's  extension  on  any  Florida  teacher's  certificate 
they  may  hold  and  which  has  not  fully  expired,  and  such  certificate 
may  be  extended  one  year  for  each  succeeding  session  attended  by  the 
said  teacher." 

Certificates  of  credit  making  proof  of  the  work  done  will 
be  granted  by  the  State  Superintendent  only  to  those  teachers 
who  attend  the  full  term  and  whose  work  is  satisfactory. 

Expenses. — There  is  no  charge  for  tuition.  Board  and 
lodging  (including  lights)  will  be  offered  at  $5.00  per  week, 
or  $35.00  for  the  entire  session  of  eight  weeks,  payable  in 
either  case  in  advance.  Those  occupying  dormitory  rooms 
must,  however,  furnish  their  own  pillows,  bed  linen,  and 
towels. 

COURSES  OF  STUDY 

Inasmuch  as  the  courses  given  during  the  session  of  1918 
were  fully  described  in  the  Summer  School  Bulletin  of  that 
year  and  were,  furthermore,  for  the  most  part  very  similar 
in  character  to  the  corresponding  ones  of  the  Teachers  College 
and  Normal  School  and  inasmuch  as  a  detailed  program  for  the 
session  of  1919  will,  as  soon  as  it  is  ready,  be  published   sep-

arately,  it  is  thought  unnecessary  here  to  make  more  than  mere 
mention  of  them. 

The  subjects  taught  fell  into  the  following  groups : 

Group  I. — Subjects  required  for  County  Certificates:  Ag- 
riculture, Algebra,  Arithmetic,  Civil  Government,  English 
Composition,  English  Grammar,  Hygiene,  Orthography,  Peda- 
gogy, Physical  Geography,  Political  Geography,  Reading, 
United  States  and  Florida  History. 

Group  II. — Subjects  required  for  State  Certificates:  Bot- 
any, English  Literature,  General  History,  Geometry,  Latin 
(Beginner's,  Caesar,  Virgil,  Prose  Composition),  Physics, 
Psychology,  Rhetoric,  Trigonometry,  Zoology. 

The  textbooks  used  w^ere  those  prescribed  by  the  State.  The 
methods  employed  and  the  ground  covered  were  as  far  as  pos- 
sible the  same  as  those  in  the  Normal  School,  from  which  upon 
successful  completion  of  any  course  the  student  was  entitled 
to  credit  towards  a  diploma. 

Group  III. — Subjects  leading  to  special  State  Certificates 
or  to  a  college  degree:  Agriculture,  Business,  Child  Study, 
Drawing,  Economics,  Education,  English,  German,  History, 
Horticulture,  Hygiene,  Latin,  Manual  Training,  Mathematics 
(Advanced  Algebra,  Plane  Analytical  Geometry,  Trigonom- 
etry, Pedagogy  of  Mathematics),  Penmanship,  Philosophy, 
Primary  Methods,  Psychology,  South  American  Affairs,  So- 
ciology, Spanish,  Zoology. 

Owing  to  the  greater  number  of  hours  per  week  and  the 
greater  intensity  of  effort  than  is  usual  during  the  regular 
college  year  more  ground  was  covered  than  is  ordinarily  done 
in  the  same  time. 

Group  IV. — Subjects  of  general  interest  not  included  under 
Group  III :  Bird-study,  Expression  and  Public  Speaking,  Gym- 
nastics, Music,  Plays  and  Games,  Story  Telling,  Swimming.

LOCATION  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY 

Gainesville,  the  seat  of  the  University,  a  town  of  10,000 
inhabitants,  possesses  numerous  advantages.  It  is  centrally- 
located  and  easy  of  access,  being  reached  by  the  leading 
railroads  of  the  State.  It  has  well  paved,  lighted  and 
shaded  streets,  an  exceptional  pure  water  supply  and  a 
good  sewerage  system.  The  citizens  are  energetic,  pro- 
gressive and  hospitable.  The  moral  atmosphere  is  whole- 
some, and  for  many  years  the  sale  of  intoxicants  has  been 
prohibited  by  law.  All  the  leading  denominations  have 
attractive  places  of  worship. 

GROUNDS  AND  BUILDINGS 

The  University  occupies  a  tract  of  six  hundred  and 
thirteen  acres,  situated  in  the  western  extermity  of  Gaines- 
ville. Ninety  acres  of  this  tract  are  devoted  to  the  campus, 
drill-ground  and  athletic  fields;  one  hundred  and  seventeen 
acres  are  utilized  for  the  farm  of  the  College  of  Agricul- 
ture ;  the  remainder  is  used  by  the  Agricultural  Experiment 
Station. 

Twelve  buildings  have  already  been  erected.  These  are, 
in  the  order  of  construction :  Two  dormitories,  known  as 
"Buckman  Hall"  and  "Thomas  Hall";  the  Mechanic  Arts 
Shop,  Science  Hall,  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station 
Building,  Engineering  Hall,  the  Gymnasium,  the  Agricul- 
tural College  Building,  the  dining  hall  or  "University  Com- 
mons", Language  Hall,  the  "George  Peabody  Hall",  the 
home  of  the  Teachers'  College  and  Normal  School,  and  the 
College  of  Law.  They  are  lighted  with  electricity,  supplied 
with  city  water  and  furnished  with  modern  improvements 
and  equipments.

iron  bedsteads  and  mattresses,  chiffonier  or  bureau,  a  table, 
washstand  and  chairs.  All  students  are  required  to  pro- 
vide for  themselves  a  pillow,  bed  linen,  towels  and  such 
other  things  as  they  may  want  for  their  own  special  con- 
venience. 

Two  additional  dormitories  have  been  built  which  makes 
it  possible  to  accommodate  the  men  on  the  campus  if  they 
so  desire. 

Good  rooms  can  be  obtained  adjacent  to  the  campus  at 
$1.25  to  $1.50  per  week.  A  numbej:-  of  rooms  in  the  city 
can  be  obtained  at  $1.00  per  week.  Men  desiring  to  have 
their  rooms  reserved  in  advance  should  write  at  once. 

Peabody  Hall. — Peabody  Hall,  the  home  of  the  Teach- 
ers' College,  is  a  magnificent  three-story  brick  and  stone 
structure.  It  is  modern  in  every  respect  as  to  equipment 
and  arrangements.  It  contains  all  the  lecture  rooms,  society 
halls,  reading  rooms,  laboratories  and  libraries  that  a  mod- 
ern college  of  this  kind  needs.  With  such  facilities  at  its 
command,  nothing  can  hinder  the  college  from  realizing  its 
aims. 

Library. — The  general  library  of  the  University  con- 
tains about  18,000  volumes  of  well-selected  books  to  vdiich 
the  Summer  School  students  have  free  access.  The  Peda- 
gogical library  will  be  of  special  interest  to  them,  for  it 
contains  many  books  on  educational  theory,  general  and 
special  methods,  history  of  education,  psychology  and  phil- 
osophy. In  the  reading  room  are  more  than  a  hundred 
of  the  best  general  and  technical  periodicals.  Here  also 
are  received  the  leading  newspapers  of  the  State. 

Psychological  Laboratory.  —  The  new  Psychological 
Laboratory  is  placed  in  the  Peabody  Hall.  This  will  give 
teachers  a  wonderful  opportunity  to  investigate  at  first 
hand  the  great  laws  of  the  mind.  To  know  these  through 
experiment  will  give  the  teachers  a  far  greater  power  to 
direct  properly  their  development  of  the  child.     The  lab- 


6  University  of  Florida 

oratory  will  contain  all  of  the  appliances  and  apparatus 
necessary  for  thorough  and  efficient  work  in  experimental 
psychology. 

Educational  Research  Room.  —  Room  32,  Peabody 
Hall,  is  set  apart  for  special  and  graduate  students  in  Edu- 
cation. This  room  contains  exhibits  of  many  lines  of  school 
work;  reports  and  publications  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Education;  samples  of  school  texts;  Courses  of  Study;  Re- 
ports of  Superintendents;  Education  catalogues  of  colleges 
and  universities;  samples  of  records  and  reports,  and  state 
school  laws.  The  room  is  especially  rich  in  material,  method 
and  practical  operations  of  mental  and  educational  measure- 
ments. 

Graduate  students  working  on  theses  will  find  this  room 
especially  helpful  and  convenient.  The  equipment  is  at  their 
service,  and  individual  tables  and  chairs  will  be  provided. 

Teachers'  Employment  Bureau. — It  is  the  purpose 
of  this  bureau  to  keep  records  of  all  teachers  who  have 
attended  the  University  who  are  fitted  by  their  training 
for  the  profession  of  teaching  and  to  recommend  them  to 
school  boards  who  are  in  need  of  efficient  principals  and

CIVIC  BIOLOGY  AND  NATURE  STUDY 

Professor  Hodge 

Dr.  Hodge  has  taken  for  his  special  problem  instruction 
in  biological  subjects  in  the  public  grade  and  high  schools. 
His  courses  deal  with  selection  and  treatment  of  subject 
matter  best  suited  to  each  grade  of  instruction.  The  aim 
thruout  is  to  develop  confidence  and  resourcefulness  of 
teachers  so  that  each  shall  be  able  to  organize  into  a  practi- 
cal course  the  materials  at  hand  in  the  environment  of  his 
school.  Our  taxes  in  "H.  C.  L.",  damages  and  losses  running 
into  billions  of  money  and  hundreds  of  thousands  of  lives 
each  year,  due  to  ignorance  in  these  matters,  are  a  measure 
of  our  need  for  such  instruction. 

Course  1.  Nature  Study  in  the  Grammar  Grades. 
Text:  "Nature  Study  and  Life"  (Ginn  &  Co.).  By  Hodge.

School  Course.  Text:  "Civic  Biology"  (Ginn  &  Co).  By 
Hodge  and  Dawson.     Daily  10:05  P.  H.  25. 

Classroom  instruction  in  both  courses  will  be  supple- 
mented by  such  excursions,  for  bird,  insect,  plant  and  gar- 
den studies,  and  by  such  special  outdoor  problem  work  as  it 
may  be  possible  to  arrange  for. 

These  courses  may  count  for  college  or  normal  credit.

handbooks  so  that  they  may  continue  this  study  indepen- 
dently. 

As  a  part  of  the  field  work,  special  attention  will  be  paid 
to  the  identification  of  trees  and  all  kinds  of  plants  which 
are  concerned  with  the  life  of  birds.

troduced in  a  good  many  of  the  schools  of  Florida,  and

tion, use  and  care  of  apparatus  for  science  courses  in  the

hygiene,  and  sanitation. 

The  State  High  School  Inspector  will  give  several  lec- 
tures on  high  school  administration,  with  special  reference

a  large  number  of  educational  and  travel  films  have  been

REGULATIONS 

When  credit  or  extension  certificates  is  desired  the 
following  regulations  established  by  the  Summer  School 
Board  must  be  followed: 

1.  No  teacher  shall  be  allowed  to  take  more  than 
twenty  hours  per  week  of  purely  academic  subjects. 

2.  No  teacher  shall  take  less  than  five  hours  per  week 
of  professional  work. 

3.  The  maximum  hours  per  week,  including  profes- 
sional, vocational  and  academic  subjects,  shall  in  no  case 
exceed  twenty-seven  hours  per  week.  Two  laboratory  hours 
to  be  counted  as  one  hour  of  academic  work. 

4.  No  teacher  shall  take  less  than  fifteen  hours  per 
week  without  special  permission. 

5.  An  extra  fee  of  one  dollar  will  be  charged  for  any 
change  of  registration  after  the  first  week. 

It  is  hoped  that  all  teachers  will  recognize  the  wisdom 
of  the  above  regulations.  To  fulfill  its  highest  mission  the 
Summer  School  should  not  be  utilized  merely  for  the  pur- 
pose of  "cramming"  for  examinations. 

Attention  is  directed  to  the  following  section  of  the 
Summer  School  Act: 


Summer  School  25 

extension  of  teachers'  certificates 

Section  6  of  a  recent  Act  of  the  Legislature  provides 
that: 

"All  teachers  attending  any  of  the  Summer  Schools 
herein  created  and  whose  work  entitles  them  to  credit 
therefor,  upon  making  proof  of  the  same  to  the  State  Super- 
intendent of  Public  Instruction,  are  hereby  entitled  to  one 
year's  extension  on  any  Florida  teacher's  certificate  they 
may  hold  and  which  has  not  fully  expired,  and  such  certifi- 
cate may  be  extended  one  year  for  each  succeeding  session 
attended  by  the  said  teacher." 

Under  this  section  of  the  law,  no  certificate  of  credit 
making  proof  of  the  work  done  will  be  granted  by  the  State 
Superintendent  and  the  Presidents  of  the  Summer  Schools, 
except  to  those  teachers  who  attend  the  full  term  and 
whose  work  shall  be  satisfactory  to  the  faculty  concerned. 

CREDIT  TOWARDS  NORMAL  SCHOOL  AND  COLLEGE  DEGREES 

Section  5  of  Summer  School  Act  is  as  follows : 
"All  work  conducted  at  the  said  Summer  Schools  shall 
be  of  such  character  as  to  entitle  the  students  doing  the 
same  to  collegiate,  normal  or  professional  credit  therefor, 
and  may  be  applied  towards  making  a  degree." 

ROOMS 

All  who  expect  to  occupy  dormitory  rooms,  which  in 
every  case  are  comfortable  and  commodious,  should  make

FACULTY  ANNOUNCEMENT 

The  acceptance  by  Judge  Robert  S.  Cockrell  of  appoint- 
ment as  a  full-time  professor  of  law  is  an  event  of  great  sig- 
nificance to  those  seeking  a  legal  education  or  interested  in 
the  upbuilding  of  the  bench  and  bar.  This  distinguished 
jurist  needs  no  introduction  to  Floridians.  He  holds  the 
degrees  of  B.A.,  M.A.,  and  B.L.  from  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia, and  is  a  member  of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  chapter  thereof. 
In  1891  he  was  admitted  to  the  Florida  bar  and  was  engaged 
in  active  practice  in  Jacksonville  for  eleven  years.  December 
1,  1902,  he  accepted  appointment  to  the  Supreme  Bench  and 
for  fourteen  years  he  has  served  as  a  justice  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  Florida.  He  is  at  present  a  member  of  the  widely- 
known  law  firm  of  Cockrell  and  Cockrell  of  Jacksonville,  and 
state  counsel  for  the  Alien  Property  Custodian.  Judge  Cock- 
rell will  teach  practical  subjects,  where  his  extensive  experi- 
ence and  ripe  scholarship  will  be  used  most  fully  in  the  educa- 
tion of  the  future  lawyers  and  judges  of  this  and  other  states. 
The  College  takes  a  pardonable  pride  in  availing  itself  of 
his  peculiarly  apt  and  superior  abilities. 

VALUE  OF  LEGAL  EDUCATION 

"Three  classes  of  men  should  read  Law,"  said  Blackstone, 
"the  lawyer  for  his  profession,  the  business  man  for  business 
reasons,  and  every  man  for  increased  efficiency  and  his  own 
protection."  Viewed  either  from  the  standpoint  of  personal 
culture,  business  proficiency,  preparation  for  the  legal  pro- 
fession, or  entrance  to  a  public  career,  the  study  of  law  is  pro- 
ductive of  high  returns. 

PURPOSE 

It  is  the  purpose  of  the  College  to  impart  a  thoro,  scientific, 
and  practical  knowledge  of  the  law,  and  thus  to  equip  its 
students  to  take  advantage  of  the  splendid  opportunities  the 
present  readjustments  in  business  and  social  life  are  creating. 
It  aims  to  develop  keen,  efficient  lawyers,  conversant  with  the 
ideals  and  traditions  of  the  profession.  Its  policy  is  character- 
ized by  the  emphasis  of  practice  as  well  as  theory;  pleading 
as  well  as  historical  perspective ;  skill  in  brief  making  as  well 
as  legal  information. 


College  of  Law  7 

EQUIPMENT 

Building. — This  splendid  structure  is  one  hundred  seventy- 
two  feet  long,  seventy  feet  wide,  and  two  and  one-half  stories 
high.  It  contains  a  large,  well-lighted  library,  furnished  with 
bookstacks,  library  tables,  librarian's  office,  and  consultation 
rooms  for  students  and  faculty.  It  has  three  commodious 
lecture-rooms,  together  with  the  offices  of  administration,  and 
the  offices  of  the  several  resident  professors.  It  contains, 
also,  an  elegant  courtroom  and  auditorium,  handsomely  fin- 
ished in  panel  work.  The  courtroom  has  all  the  usual  acces- 
sories, jury  box,  witness  stand,  judge's  office,  and  jury  room, 
and  is  connected  with  the  library  below  by  a  circular  stairway. 
Every  interest  of  the  College  has  been  provided  for,  including 
attractive  quarters  for  the  Marshall  Debating  Society.  The 
building  is  steam-heated,  lighted  by  electricity,  and  equipped 
thruout  with  a  superior  grade  of  furniture.  It  is  devoted 
exclusively  to  the  uses  of  the  College  of  Law  and  furnishes 
accommodations  as  comfortable  and  as  convenient  as  can  be 
found  in  the  country. 

Library.  —  The  Law  Library  contains  all  the  published 
reports  of  the  courts  of  last  resort  of  every  State  in  the  Union 
and  of  the  Federal  Courts,  the  full  English  Reprints,  the  Eng- 
lish Law  Reports,  the  reports  of  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission  and  the  Land  Decisions  of  the  Department  of 
the  Interior  besides  an  excellent  collection  of  digests,  encyclo- 
pedias, series  of  selected  cases,  treatises  and  text  books,  both 
English  and  American.  The  Library  also  contains  the  Stat- 
utes of  several  of  the  States  besides  those  of  the  Federal  Gov- 
ernment, and  is  a  subscriber  to  the  leading  legal  periodicals. 
A  course  of  instruction  is  given  in  legal  bibliography  and  the 
use  of  law  books.  Every  facility  also  is  offered  law  students 
to  make  use  of  the  General  Library,  in  which  are  included 
works  of  interest  and  information  to  the  lawyer. 

Both  the  Law  and  General  Libraries  are  open  during  the 
academic  year  on  every  secular  day  between  the  hours  of  8:00 
A.  M.  and  10 :00  P.  M.  and  are  in  charge  of  trained  librarians, 
who  will  render  such  aid  as  the  students  may  need  in  their  use 
of  the  books. 

Gymnasium. — A  brick  and  stone  structure  of  two  stories 
and  basement,  one  hundred  and  six  feet  long  and  fifty-three 
wide,  built  within  the  last  year.    It  is  steam-heated,  supplied 


8  University  of  Florida 

with  hot  water,  and  well-lighted  and  ventilated.  A  gallery 
around  the  main  floor  provides  space  for  spectators  at  gym- 
nastic exhibitions.  The  basement  contains  lockers,  shower- 
baths  and  toilets.  Adjacent  is  a  swimming-pool,  thirty-six 
feet  long  and  twenty-four  feet  wide,  and  from  four  and  one- 
half  to  seven  feet  deep.  Organized  classes  are  conducted  by 
the  Professor  of  Physical  Culture. 

Fleming  Field. — A  large  and  well-kept  athletic  field 
equipped  for  the  various  outdoor  games  and  sports  which  in 
this  climate  are  carried  on  the  year  round.  In  1919  this 
field  was  used  by  the  New  York  Giants  for  their  spring 
training. 

ATTENDANCE 

Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  war  seriously  inter- 
fered last  year  with  the  attendance  of  law  students  thruout 
the  country,  causing  at  least  fourteen  resident  law  schools 
to  close  their  doors,  this  College  enrolled  sixty-four  students. 
Most  of  them  were  members  of  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  here.  The 
superior  three-year  course  of  this  College,  which  has  been 
approved  by  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  University  of  the 
State  of  New  York,  was  recognized  also  by  the  War  Depart- 
ment, which  allowed  S.  A.  T.  C.  students  to  take  eleven  hours 
of  regular  law  work  here  in  addition  to  their  prescribed 
military  drill  and  other  war  studies. 

ADMISSION 

Requirements  for  Admission. — Graduates  and  matricu- 
lates of  colleges  and  universities  and  applicants  who  have 
completed  a  high-school  course  of  four  years  will,  upon  pre- 
sentation of  proper  credentials  to  that  effect,  be  admitted  to 
the  College  as  candidates  for  a  degree.  Other  applicants  for 
admission  as  regular  students  will  be  required  to  pass  an 
entrance  examination.  No  applicant  under  eighteen  years  of 
age  will  be  admitted. 

The  four-year  high-school  course  required  for  admission 
must  consist  of  sixteen  units  (fifteen  units  as  defined  by  the 
Carnegie  Foundation  or  the  National  Educational  Associa- 
tion). A  unit  represents  a  course  of  study  pursued  thruout 
the  school  year  with  five  recitation  periods  of  at  least  forty- 
five  minutes  each  per  week,  four  courses  being  taken  during 
each  of  the  four  years. 


College  of  Law  9 

Eight  units  are  prescribed;  viz.:  English  3;  Mathematics 
3 ;  History  1 ;  Science  1.  The  remaining  units  may  be  chosen 
from  the  following  electives :  Botany  1/2  or  1 ;  Chemistry  1 ; 
English  1 ;  Latin  4 ;  History  2 ;  Mathematics  1 ;  Modern 
Languages  (French,  German,  or  Spanish)  2;  Physical  Geog- 
raphy 1 ;  Physics  1 ;  Zoology  14  or  1 1  vocational  subjects 
(Typewriting,  Stenography,  Mechanic  Arts,  Agriculture, 
etc.)  4. 

Candidates  presenting  fourteen  units  will  be  admitted  pro- 
visionally, but  the  deficiency  must  be  removed  by  the  be- 
ginning of  the  Senior  year.  Further  particulars,  in  cases  of 
doubt,  may  be  obtained  by  communicating  with  the  Dean  of 
this  College. 

Certificates  of  scholastic  record  signed  by  the  principal  of 
the  school  attended  must  be  presented  by  all  those  who  do 
not  enter  by  examination.  Blank  forms,  conveniently  ar- 
ranged for  the  desired  data,  will  be  sent  upon  application. 

Special  Students. — Persons  over  twenty-one  years  of 
age  who  are  not  able  to  qualify  as  regular  students  may  be 
admitted  as  special  students  upon  presenting  satisfactory  evi- 
dence that  they  have  received  such  training  as  will  enable 
them  to  make  profitable  use  of  the  opportunities  offered  in 
the  College. 

Advanced  Standing. — No  work  in  law  done  in  other  in- 
stitutions will  be  accepted  towards  a  degree,  unless  the  appli- 
cant passes  satisfactorily  the  examinations  held  in  the  sub- 
jects in  question  in  this  College,  or  unless,  by  special  vote  of 
the  Faculty,  credit  is  given  without  examination.  In  no  case 
will  credit  be  given  for  work  not  done  in  residence  at  an 
approved  law  school. 

EXPENSES 

A  tuition  fee  of  $20.00  per  semester,  payable  in  advance, 
is  charged  all  law  students,  except  those  taking  less  than 
eleven  hours  of  work,  who  are  charged  a  proportional  part 
of  the  full  tuition.  The  actual  University  charges  to  a  law 
student  (including  board  and  lodging,  fees  and  tuition,  but 
not  including  books  or  damage  deposits)  are  $198.00.  The 
damage  deposit  of  $5.00,  less  whatever  may  be  deducted  there- 
from for  injuries  to  University  property,  is  returned  at  the 
end  of  the  scholastic  year.     For  the  first  two  years  of  the 


10  University  of  Florida 

course  the  required  law  books  new  will  cost  about  $41.00 
each  year;  and  for  the  Senior  year,  about  $51.00.  Students 
should  also  provide  themselves  with  the  Statutes  of  their  State 
and  a  law  dictionary.  Many  of  these  books,  however,  will 
form  a  nucleus  for  the  student's  future  library;  and  by  the 
purchase  of  second-hand  books  their  cost  may  be  materially 
reduced. 

UNIVERSITY  PRIVILEGES 

Electives  in  Other  Colleges. — The  advantages  of  the 
other  colleges  of  the  University  are  open  to  such  students  in 
the  College  of  Law  as  desire  and  are  able  to  accept  them. 
Courses  in  Constitutional  and  Political  History,  Political 
Economy,  Sociology,  Psychology,  Logic,  Rhetoric  and  English 
Composition  are  particularly  recommended.  No  extra  charge 
will  be  made  for  such  courses,  but  they  can  be  taken  only  with 
the  consent  of  the  Law  Faculty  and  of  the  professors  con- 
cerned. 

Military  Science  and  Tactics. — ^The  University  has  an 
Infantry  Unit,  Senior  Division  of  the  Reserve  Officers'  Train- 
ing Corps,  to  membership  in  which  law  students  are  eligible. 
They  are  not  required,  however,  to  join  this  organization  or 
to  take  any  other  military  drill. 

PUBLIC  SPEAKING  AND  DEBATING 

Instruction.  —  Regular  classes  in  oratory  and  public 
speaking  are  organized  and  conducted  by  the  professor  of 
public  speaking.     A  small  tuition  is  charged. 

Marshall  Debating  Society. — Early  in  the  first  year  of 
the  College  the  students  organized  a  society  that  would  secure 
to  its  members  practice  in  debating  and  public  speaking  and 
experience  in  arguing  legal  questions,  as  well  as  drill  in  parlia- 
mentary law.  The  society  was  fittingly  named  'The  Marshall 
Debating  Society",  in  honor  of  the  distinguished  Southern 
jurist,  John  Marshall. 

DEGREES 

Bachelor  of  Laws. — The  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Laws 
(LL.B.)  is  conferred  upon  those  students  who  satisfactorily 
complete  the  courses  of  study.  Students  admitted  to  ad- 
vanced standing  may,  if  they  do  satisfactorily  the  work  pre- 
scribed, receive  the  degree  after  one  year's  residence,  but 


College  of  Law  11 

in  no  case  will  the  degree  be  granted  unless  the  candidate  is  in 
actual  residence  during  all  of  the  third  year. 

Juris  Doctor. — Students  who  have  complied  with  all  the 
requirements  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Laws  (LL.B.), 
who  have  maintained  an  average  standing  in  their  law  studies 
of  10%  above  the  passing  mark,  and  who  have  obtained  the 
degree  of  A.B.,  or  an  equivalent  degree,  from  an  approved 
College  or  University,  or  who  secure  such  degree  the  same 
year  they  complete  their  law  course,  will  be  awarded  the 
degree  of  Juris  Doctor  (J.D.). 

Combined  Academic  and  Law  Course. — By  pursuing  an 
approved  course  of  collegiate  and  law  studies  a  student  may 
earn  both  the  academic  and  the  legal  degree  in  six  years. 
Candidates  for  either  the  A.B.  or  the  B.S.  degree  may  elect 
twelve  hours  of  work  from  the  first  year  of  the  course  of  the 
College  of  Law  and  count  the  same  as  credits  toward  the 
aforesaid  degrees.  Such  degrees  will  not  be  conferred,  how- 
ever, until  after  the  completion  of  the  second  year  of  the  law 
work. 

Master  of  Arts. — Candidates  for  the  degree  of  Master 
of  Arts  are  permitted  to  take  a  portion  of  their  work  under  the 
Faculty  of  Law. 

ADMISSION  TO  THE  BAR 

Upon  presenting  their  diplomas,  duly  issued  by  the  proper 
authorities,  and  upon  furnishing  satisfactory  evidence  that 
they  are  twenty-one  years  of  age  and  of  good  moral  character, 
the  graduates  of  the  College  are  licensed  by  the  Supreme 
Court,  without  examination,  to  practice  in  the  Courts  of  Flor- 
ida. They  also  are  admitted  without  examination  to  the 
United  States  District  Court  for  the  Northern  District  of 
Florida. 

EXAMINATIONS 

The  last  week  of  each  semester  is  devoted  to  examinations 
covering  the  work  of  the  semester.  These  examinations  are 
in  writing  and  are  rigid  and  searching,  but  are  not  necessarily 
final. 

One  delinquent  examination  is  allowed  for  the  removal  of 
conditions.  All  students,  unless  excused  by  the  Dean,,  must 
present  themselves  for  the  regular  examination  in  all  the 
subjects  for  which  they  are  registered. 


12  University  of  Florida 

LECTURES 

In  addition  to  the  courses  given  by  the  regular  Faculty, 
lectures  are  given  each  year  by  eminent  specialists  in  the 
profession,  both  at  the  bar  and  on  the  bench.  The  Justices 
of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State  especially  have  been  gener- 
ous in  giving  of  their  time  and  services  in  this  way.  Both 
Faculty  and  students  feel  exceedingly  grateful  to  these  lec- 
turers for  the  kindly  interest  they  have  manifested  in  the  Col- 
lege and  for  the  resulting  uplift  and  inspiration. 

PLEADING  AND  PRACTICE 

Courses. — Differing  from  some  other  law  schools,  this 
College  is  convinced  that  an  intensive  knowledge  of  pleading 
and  practice  should  be  secured  by  the  student,  since  legal 
rights  cannot  be  well  understood  without  a  mastery  of  the 
rules  of  pleading  whereby  they  are  enforced.  As  Lord  Coke 
declared:  "Good  pleading  is  the  touchstone  of  the  true  sense 
and  knowledge  of  the  common  law."  The  development  of 
right  has  depended  upon  the  development  of  actions ;  the  rule 
of  law  was  the  rule  of  writs  and  in  large  measure  remains  so 
today.  Consequently  the  College  offers  thoro  courses  in  Crimi- 
nal Pleading  and  Procedure,  Common  Law  Pleading,  Equity 
Pleading,  Code  Pleading,  Florida  Civil  Practice,  General 
Practice,  and  Federal  Procedure.  Thus  the  student  on  gradu- 
ation is  enabled  to  enter  understandingly  upon  the  practice  of 
law ;  and  to  this  fact  the  College  attributes  much  of  the  rapid 
advancement  of  its  Alumni. 

As  young  men  from  all  parts  of  the  country  in  increasing 
numbers  are  attending  the  University,  combining  the  ad- 
vantages of  travel,  new  associations,  and  salubrious  climate 
with  those  of  the  superior  educational  facilities  here  afforded, 
the  College  has  arranged  to  serve  those  who  intend  to  practice 
elsewhere  as  efficiently  as  those  who  expect  to  locate  in  this 
State.  Students  preparing  for  the  practice  in  other  states  are 
offered  Code  Pleading  and  General  Practice  instead  of  Florida 
Constitutional  Law  and  Florida  Civil  Practice,  as  shown  in 
the  course  of  study.  Such  students  also  are  required  to  sub- 
mit an  acceptable  dissertation  showing  the  peculiarities  of 
pleading  and  practice  of  the  State  in  which  they  expect  to 
locate. 

The  Practice  Court. — Believing  that  students  obtain  in 


College  of  Law  13 

the  Practice  Court  a  better  practical  knowledge  of  pleading 
and  practice  than  can  be  acquired  in  any  other  way,  aside  from 
the  trial  of  actual  cases,  the  Faculty  lay  special  emphasis  upon 
this  work.  Sessions  of  the  Practice  Court  are  held  thruout 
the  year  in  an  admirably  equipped  courtroom.  A  clerk  and  a

BENEDICTION 


INVOCATION 

Rev.  John  G.  Anderson 
Pastor  of  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Gainesville,  Fla. 

O  Lord,  Thou  art  God  from  everlasting  to  everlasting; 
doing  Thy  will  in  the  armies  of  heaven,  and  amongst  the 
inhabitants  of  the  earth.  There  is  none  that  can  stay  Thy 
hand,  or  say  unto  Thee  "What  doest  Thou?"  Our  times  are 
in  Thy  hand,  and  we  would  wish  them  there.  Thou  art 
infinite  in  power,  wisdom,  and  love.  Thou  art  too  wise  to 
err,  and  too  loving  to  do  harm.  Recognizing  our  own  ig- 
norance and  impotence,  we  bow  to  Thy  will  in  all  things, 
knowing  that  nothing  higher  or  nobler  can  be  accomplished 
in  us  or  by  us  than  Thy  plan  for  us. 

Thou  art  revealed  to  us  as  a  Father,  taking  minute  in- 
terest in  all  that  concerns  Thy  people.  Not  a  sparrow  can 
fall  to  the  ground  without  Thy  notice,  and  we  are  of  more 
value  than  many  sparrows.  Thy  ways  are  inscrutable; 
mystery  and  wonder  characterize  Thy  dealings.  In  the 
memorial  services  that  engage  us  at  this  hour,  we  do  not 
question  Thy  wisdom,  or  impeach  Thy  sovereign  grace.  We 
bow  in  gracious  submission  to  the  will  of  infinite  wisdom 
and  infinite  love. 

We  thank  Thee  for  the  life  amongst  us  of  our  beloved 
brother.  We  thank  Thee  for  the  privilege  of  his  memory; 
for  his  life  of  intelligence,  gentleness,  kindness,  and  tender 
consideration  for  others ;  for  the  Christian  virtues  of  faith 
and  hope  and  love  that  made  his  life  a  blessed  illustration 
of  the  power  of  divine  grace,  and  a  benediction  to  his  fel- 
lows. 

May  we  not  forget  him,  but  so  cherish  the  true  nobility 
of  his  Christian  manhood  that  it  may  prove  to  us  an  inspi- 
ration to  live  higher  and  nobler  and  purer  lives.  As  this 
occasion  reminds  us  of  death,  we  bless  Thee  that  the  Gospel 
speaks  to  us  of  life,  eternal  life.  As  we  think  of  the  grave 
the  Gospel  speaks  to  us  of  the  Resurrection.  As  we  think 
of  the  sorrow  of  separation  the  Gospel  speaks  to  us  of  re- 
union and  recognition  in  the  glory  everlasting.  We  pray 
for  the  lonely  and  bereaved  one  far  away.  Blessed  Savior, 
Thou  hast  a  heart  of  tenderest  pity,  and  an  arm  of  mighty 


4  University  of  Florida 

power.  Reveal  Thyself  sweetly,  graciously  to  her.  May  she 
lean  her  weary  head  upon  Thy  gentle  bosom  and  be  sus- 
tained by  Thy  everlasting  arm.  Thou  comforter  of  God's 
people,  speak  words  such  as  human  lips  cannot  utter,  and 
teach  lessons  such  as  human  wisdom  cannot  impart. 

Hear  this  our  prayer  in  the  name  of  Him  who  taught  us 
to  pray — 

Our  Father  which  art  in  heaven,  hallowed  be  Thy  name. 
Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done  in  earth  as  it  is  in 
heaven.  Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread,  and  forgive  us 
our  debts  as  we  forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not 
into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil ;  for  Thine  is  the 
kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  forever.    Amen.

and  three  sisters.  His  father,  Govert  Keppel,  was  born  in 
Holland,. of  a  family  well  known  in  southern  Holland  since 
the  time  of  the  Crusades,  and  came  to  this  country  with  his 
parents  at  the  age  of  nine  years.  His  mother,  Marie  De- 
Pree,  was  also  born  abroad  and  came  to  this  country  in 
childhood.  Her  family  were  French  Huguenots  who  had 
emigrated  to  Hainault,  now  a  part  of  Belgium,  during  the 
persecutions  of  the  seventeenth  century.  Both  parents  came 
to  this  country  as  members  of  a  Dutch  community  that 
emigrated  in  a  body  and  settled  in  Michigan,  not  far  west 
of  Grand  Rapids,  where  the  prosperous  towns  of  Holland 
and  Zeeland  bear  witness  to  their  success  as  colonizers. 

The  Dutch  community,  while  loyally  accepting  American 
institutions,  also  continued  many  of  the  customs  of  the  old 
country  and  to  some  extent  the  use  of  its  language ;  and  Dr. 
Keppel  always  retained  much  of  the  traditions  and  senti- 


Keppel  Memorial  Exercises  5 

ments  of  his  Dutch  ancestry.  It  was  in  this  community — 
industrious,  orderly,  thrifty,  and  deeply  imbued  with 
Christian  spirit — that  Dr.  Keppel  spent  his  childhood,  gain- 
ing his  early  education,  and  helping  his  father  in  his  busi- 
ness as  miller.  It  is  in  this  community  that  his  remains  now 
rest. 

I  had  the  pleasure  of  spending  a  week-end  at  the  Keppel 
homestead  in  1911,  and  well  remember  the  substantial  old 
house  in  its  spacious  yard,  with  beautiful  lawn  shaded  by 
ancient  apple  trees;  the  neatly-kept  streets  of  the  town, 
lined  with  fine  shade  trees ;  the  many  well-built  and  tasteful 
homes,  each  in  an  orderly  yard  without  fence ;  and  spaced  at 
such  distance  from  each  other  and  from  the  street  as  secured 
comfortable  privacy  without  suggesting  exclusiveness ;  the 
thrifty  and  well-kept  farms  of  the  surrounding  country; 
and  the  complete  absence  of  disorder  or  slovenliness  in  the 
whole  vicinity.  The  whole  atmosphere  was  one  of  solidity, 
refinement  and  of  wholesome  ideals,  and  no  doubt  had  its 
influence  in  developing  similar  qualities  in  those  who  grew 
up  in  it. 

About  1885  Dr.  Keppel  entered  Hope  College,  at  Holland, 
Michigan,  an  institution  founded  by  people  of  the  Dutch 
community  and  drawing  the  majority  of  its  students  from 
among  them.  He  also  spent  one  of  his  college  years  at 
the  University  of  Michigan,  but  returned  to  Hope  College 
to  be  graduated,  receiving  the  degree  of  A.B.  there  in  1889. 

The  year  following  his  graduation  he  spent  in  the  national 
capital  in  clerical  employment  in  the  Census  Bureau  and 
the  Pension  Bureau.  His  work  in  Washington  proving 
neither  very  interesting  nor  promising  of  advancement,  he 
gave  it  up  to  teach  mathematics  the  following  year  in  the 
high  school  of  Orange  City,  Iowa.  This  occupation  proved 
congenial,  and  led  him  to  decide  upon  the  study  of  mathe- 
matics as  his  life-work. 

He  spent  the  years  1892  to  1895  at  Clark  University  in 
mathematical  study  under  the  guidance  of  Story,  Taber, 
and  Perott,  but  did  not  at  that  time  complete  the  work  for 
the  doctor's  degree.  In  the  fall  of  1895  he  went  to  North- 
western University  as  instructor  in  mathematics,  remaining 


6  University  of  Florida 

there  till  1898,  when  the  Spanish-American  War  broke  out 
and  he  volunteered  for  service  as  a  Y.  M.  C.  A.  secretary. 
While  on  duty  in  camp  he  contracted  typhoid  fever,  which 
was  the  cause  of  his  prematurely  gray  hair. 

In  the  autumn  of  1900  he  returned  to  Clark  University 
and  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  there  in 
1901,  after  which  he  resumed  his  former  position  at  North- 
western University.  At  that  distinguished  institution, 
located  in  a  suburb  of  Chicago  where  many  of  the  leaders 
of  that  city  have  their  homes,  and  within  easy  reach  of  all 
the  intellectual,  cultural,  and  social  advantages  of  a  metropo- 
lis. Dr.  Keppel  found  his  work  and  his  surroundings  very 
much  to  his  liking,  and  remained  there  seven  years  longer. 
I  have  often  heard  him  speak  of  one  or  another  of  his 
pleasant  associates  there,  especially  Prof.  Henry  S.  Crew, 
the  physicist,  of  whom  he  was  very  fond,  and  with  whom  he 
made  a  bicycle  tour  in  Europe  one  summer. 

Thru  no  fault  of  Dr.  Keppel's,  but  from  the  accidental 
circumstance  that  there  were  other  young  and  able  men 
ahead  of  him  in  the  line  of  promotion  at  Northwestern  Uni- 
versity, his  position  there  did  not  offer  him  any  hope  of 
advancement.  This  situation,  together  with  the  fact  that  a 
southern  climate  promised  relief  from  a  catarrh  with  which 
he  had  been  suffering,  led  him  to  give  up  his  otherwise 
congenial  position  in  1908,  and  cast  his  lot  with  what  then 
appeared  an  insecure  enterprise — the  University  of  Florida. 
This  change  from  an  old  and  well-established  institution 
near  a  great  center  of  intellectual  life,  to  the  pioneer  con- 
ditions of  a  newly-founded  and  not  yet  firmly  established 
institution,  remote  from  the  main  currents  of  activity  of 
the  nation,  involved  the  sacrifice  of  many  of  the  advantages 
and  pleasures  which  Dr.  Keppel  had  been  accustomed  to 
enjoy.  But  while  he  often  spoke  of  the  contrast,  I  never 
heard  him  utter  a  word  of  complaint,  nor  do  I  think  that 
he  ever  felt  any  sense  of  complaint.  On  the  contrary,  he 
threw  himself  whole-heartedly  into  his  work,  and  identi- 
fied himself  unhesitatingly  with  the  University  of  Florida 
and  its  various  interests,  sought  his  friends  among  those 
who  were  associated  with  it,  and  chose  his  living  quarters 


Keppel  Memorial  Exercises  7 

near  it,  altho  at  that  time  he  could  probably  have  secured 
greater  personal  comfort  by  living  at  a  distance. 

Except  for  the  summer  vacations,  which  he  invariably 
spent  at  his  old  home  in  Zeeland,  Michigan,  all  the  rest  of 
his  life  was  spent  at  the  University  of  Florida.  He  saw  it 
grow  from  a  small  and  weak  institution  into  its  present 
size  and  scope.  As  head  of  the  department  of  mathematics, 
he  came  into  contact  with  almost  every  student  who  at- 
tended the  University  during  his  ten  years  of  service.  Dur- 
ing these  formative  years  of  the  growing  University,  his 
teaching,  his  services  on  (faculty)  committees,  his  partici- 
pation in  discussions  to  determine  policies,  and  the  influence 
of  his  wide  personal  acquaintanceship  with  faculty  and  stu- 
dents, had  an  important  share  in  determining  the  ideals 
and  standards  and  type  of  culture  for  which  the  University 
of  Florida  has  come  to  stand.  Those  of  us  who  came  most 
under  Dr.  Keppel's  influence  are  inclined  to  value  this  in- 
tangible service  even  more  highly  than  that  given  in  his 
routine  duties,  admirably  as  they  were  performed. 

On  December  28,  1917,  Dr.  Keppel  was  married  to  Miss 
Anna  Kramer  of  Detroit,  daughter  of  the  pastor  of  the 
church  at  Zeeland  that  he  used  to  attend.  Their  married 
life  was  very  happy. 

In  the  summer  of  1918  Dr.  Keppel  accepted  an  invitation 
to  serve  on  a  committee  of  six,  appointed  by  the  National 
War  Work  Council  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  to  supervise  the 
mathematical  teaching  carried  on  by  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  at 
military  and  naval  camps,  and  was  assigned  to  the  sooth- 
eastern  part  of  the  country.  While  on  a  trip  of  inspection 
of  this  work  near  the  end  of  September  he  contracted  influ- 
enza, had  to  complete  his  task  and  to  make  a  long  journey 
while  suffering  from  it,  and  reached  home  dangerously  ill. 
He  died  about  a  week  later,  on  October  5,  in  the  home  on 
West  University  Avenue  in  which  he  had  so  recently  begun 
housekeeping  after  his  marriage.  His  death  should  be 
counted  among  those  due  to  the  war,  since  it  was  a  direct 
result  of  exposure  and  lack  of  care  while  on  war  duty. 

Dr.  Keppel's  personality  was  a  many-sided  one,  and  I 
shall  not  attempt  an  analysis  of  it  in  any  systematic  manner, 


8  University  of  Florida 

but  merely  mention  a  few  of  the  prominent  traits  of  his 
character. 

The  first  that  comes  to  my  mind  is  his  friendliness  and 
breadth  of  sympathy.  He  was  in  no  sense  a  popularity 
seeker — on  the  contrary  his  disposition  was  somewhat  re- 
tiring— but  friendly  overtures  to  him  always  met  with  most 
cordial  response.  He  had  a  remarkable  capacity  for  sharing 
in  the  interests  of  those  with  whom  he  was  thrown.  His 
disposition  to  find  a  basis  of  congeniality  with  all  with 
whom  he  came  into  contact  was  the  more  easily  gratified  on 
account  of  the  wide  range  of  his  own  interests,  for,  aside 
from  the  more  serious  interest  in  his  professional  work,  he 
had  a  very  active  amateur  acquaintance'  with  a  great  variety 
of  matters  of  general  human  interest,  such  as  all  sorts  of 
games,  athletic  and  other;  music;  travel;  art;  flowers; 
finance;  politics;  social  problems;  business  affairs.  But 
his  friendliness  was  something  deeper  than  a  mere  dispo- 
sition toward  congenial  companionship.  I  have  rarely 
known  anyone  who  could  derive  more  pleasure  from  doing 
kindnesses  for  others  than  he  did.  He  used  to  delight  in 
planning  Christmas  presents  long  ahead  of  Christmas  time ; 
and  in  making  friends  with  little  children,  with  whom  he 
was  a  great  favorite.  He  spent  several  of  his  vacations  in 
social  settlement  work  in  New  York  and  in  Chicago. 

Another  prominent  feature  of  Dr.  Keppel's  nature  was 
the  group  of  qualities  of  definiteness,  consistency,  loyalty, 
and  wholeheartedness.  It  was  his  habit  to  take  some  definite 
position  on  every  question  that  came  before  him,  rather 
than  to  remain  neutral  or  vague,  or  try  to  be  on  both  sides 
at  the  same  time.  He  was  not  quick  to  form  opinions,  or 
to  change  them;  and  while  he  was  open-minded  in  the 
highest  degree,  his  opinions  when  once  matured  were  not 
abandoned  without  sufficient  reason.  He  was  equally  con- 
stant in  whatever  activities  he  undertook;  not  assuming 
them  hastily,  but,  when  once  undertaken,  persevering  in 
them  and  giving  them  whole-hearted  attention.  When  he 
joined  any  organization  his  custom  was  to  attend  all  its 
meetings,  be  active  in  its  affairs,  and  fulfill  all  the  obliga- 
tions implied  in  accepting  membership.    The  same  general 


Keppel  Memorial  Exercises  9 

spirit  of  whole-heartedness  was  characteristic  of  his  atti- 
tude to  his  work,  in  which  his  faithfulness  and  thoroness  to 
the  last  detail  were  so  notable. 

As  regards  his  attitude  towards  his  profession  in  the 
broader  sense,  he  evidently  recognized  the  obligations 
stated  in  Bacon's  famous  words :  "I  hold  every  man  a  debtor 
to  his  profession ;  from  the  which  as  men  of  course  do  seek 
to  receive  countenance  and  profit,  so  ought  they  of  duty  to 
endeavor  themselves  by  way  of  amends  to  be  a  help  and 
ornament  thereunto".  He  sincerely  sought  to  be  an  orna- 
ment to  his  profession  in  his  conduct  of  his  daily  duties,  and 
a  help  to  it  by  sharing  in  the  cooperative  efforts  to  enable 
the  profession  to  perform  its  functions  better  and  maintain 
its  good  name  and  respect  among  men.  His  conception  of 
the  status  of  the  college  professor  in  human  society  em- 
bodied many  of  the  good  features  of  each  of  the  two  some- 
what divergent  views  of  that  profession  which  are  held, 
and  are  sometimes  called  the  university  view  and  the  peda- 
gogical view.  According  to  the  former,  the  college  profes- 
sor is  primarily  a  man  of  learning — mathematician,  chemist, 
plant  pathologist,  or  what  not — and  as  such  makes  himself 
useful  to  society  by  applying  his  special  knowledge  to  what- 
ever activities  may  demand  it,  of  which  one,  but  by  no 
means  the  only  one,  is  the  teaching  of  the  elements  of  his 
specialty,  while  others  are  applications  to  industrial  prob- 
lems, original  research,  writing  books  and  articles,  and  the 
group  of  activities  which  have  come  to  be  called  extension 
work.  According  to  the  latter  conception,  the  function  of 
the  college  professor  is  primarily  to  care  for  the  develop- 
ment of  the  youth  receiving  his  instruction;  the  subjects 
he  teaches  are  important  less  for  their  own  sake  than  as 
a  means  of  promoting  mental  development  in  his  pupils; 
and  outside  of  classroom  duties,  his  concern  is  for  their  de- 
velopment on  the  moral,  physical,  or  social  side  rather  than 
for  non-teaching  applications  of  his  subject.  To  the  former 
of  these  conceptions,  Dr.  Keppel  conformed  in  the  matters 
of  his  thoro  scholarship  in  his  specialty,  his  habits  of  study, 
and  his  generally  intellectual  attitude  and  outlook;  to  the 
latter,  in  the  sincere  personal  interest  he  took  in  each  of 


10  University  of  Florida 

his  students,  both  within  and  without  the  classroom,  and 
in  his  conscientiousness  down  to  the  last  petty  detail  of  his 
teaching  duties. 

As  regards  Dr.  Keppel's  religious  life,  he  grew  up  as  a 
member  of  the  Dutch  Reformed  Church.  After  coming  to 
Gainesville,  he  transferred  his  membership  to  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church,  and  was  a  regular  attendant  at  its 
services,  and  an  active  supporter  of  its  works.  His  interest 
in  religion  was  in  good  works  rather  than  in  doctrines, 
altho  he  gave  much  thought  to  the  deeper  philosophical 
problems  of  theology. 

In  politics  he  was  a  republican,  and  in  his  earlier  years 
had  an  active  part  in  the  republican  organization  of  his 
home  county.  His  general  attitude  toward  political  af- 
fairs was  conservative,  using  the  term  in  its  correct  sense 
as  implying  caution  in  making  changes,  rather  than  as 
implying  inability  to  see  good  in  any  change. 

In  social  matters,  Dr.  Keppel  cared  nothing  for  formal 
social  functions,  or  the  activities  of  what  is  called  "Society", 
but  was  very  fond  of  the  quiet  companionship  of  his  circle 
of  friends,  which  was  a  large  one.  He  was  punctilious  in 
etiquette;  and  his  delightful  humor  as  well  as  his  polished 
manners  and  kindly  spirit,  made  him  always  a  welcome 
guest  at  the  houses  of  his  friends. 

His  favorite  recreations  were  travel  and  playing  games — 
tennis  for  an  outdoor  game,  and  whist  for  indoors. 

In  these  few  inadequate  words,  I  have  tried  to  record 
something  of  the  character  and  personality  which  we  had 
come  to  love.  Our  friend  is  dead,  but  his  influence  is  still 
alive,  I  can  wish  nothing  better  for  his  friends,  for  this 
institution,  and  for  his  profession,  than  that  his  influence 
may  remain  alive  for  ever  and  ever.

DOCTOR  KEPPEL  AS  A  FRIEND  OF  THE  STUDENTS 

Robert  T.  Hargrave 
Class   of   1919,   University  of  Florida 

I  can  perhaps  best  pay  my  poor  tribute  to  a  never-to-be- 
forgotten  friend  by  telling  simply  how  I  came  to  know  him 
and  what  as  time  passed  by  we  all  came  to  think  of  him  and 
of  how  our  friendship  grew.  For  as  we  students  came  to 
know  Dr.  Keppel  more  intimately  it  was  more  than  a  feel- 
ing of  casual  interest  that  we  had  for  him.  There  may  not 
have  been  any  noticeable  demonstration  on  our  part  or  his, 
nevertheless  there  grew  up  a  feeling  that  he  was  truly  our 
friend,  a  friend  whose  interest  did  not  stop  with  the  end  of 
the  day's  lesson,  but  one  whom  we  could  love  and  respect 
for  the  man  that  he  was  and  for  the  unfailing  good  nature 
that  he  always  displayed  and  the  interest  he  took  in  all 
things,  not  only  inside  but  outside  the  classroom. 

For  the  first  month,  possibly  for  longer,  we  Freshmen 
were  somewhat  in  awe  of  him.  Analytic  Geometry  and 
Trigonometry  presented  to  us  problems  that  seemingly  had 
neither  start  nor  ending.  Yet,  as  we  came  into  class  and  he, 
in  his  serious,  careful  way,  went  into  the  intricacies  of  that 
problem  over  which  we  had  worked  in  vain,  it  seemed  that 
really  we  had  simply  magnified  a  molehill  into  a  mountain. 
His  solution  seemed  so  simple  and  easy.  And  it  was  always 
the  same,  but  best  of  all  was  his  unfailing  good  nature. 

Altho  at  times  he  must  have  had  ample  provocation,  he 
never  showed  displeasure  nor  impatience,  but  rather  a 
sympathetic  interest  in  our  difficulties.  And  he  never  tired 
of  the  admonition  to  "Make  a  picture  of  every  problem. 
Draw  it  out."  That  of  course  seemed  foolish  to  us,  yet, 
when  we  had  tried  it,  we  found  that  it  helped  in  many 
cases. 

At  the  end  of  the  first  month  we  learned  how  absolutely 
just  he  was  with  us.  We  had  been  painstakingly  graded 
every  day  and  no  student  could  complain  that  his  grade 
was  other  than  he  deserved.  Our  grades  showed  with  abso- 
lute truth  just  what  we  had  done  thruout  that  month  and, 
if  they  were  low,  we  well  realized  that  we  had  no  one  to 
blame  but  ourselves. 


12  University  of  Florida 

Thus  in  the  first  month  of  our  acquaintance  with  him  we 
had  come  to  realize  that  Dr.  Keppel  took  a  sincere  interest 
in  our  work,  that  when  occasion  demanded  he  could  clear  up 
our  difficulties  with  the  utmost  ease,  and  that  with  all  we 
could  rely  on  his  absolute  fairness. 

And  so  as  the  months  of  that  first  year  rolled  by  we  came 
to  know  him  better,  not  in  a  personal  way,  but  as  a  kindly 
and  willing  man,  liberal  to  a  degree,  giving  absolute  justice 
and  requiring  that  we  do  the  same  by  our  work. 

We  learned  too  that  he  had  a  sense  of  humor  and  could 
appreciate  a  little  fun,  even  tho  it  were  in  a  way  at  his 
expense. 

I  remember  one  day  about  the  time  that  we  were  wrest- 
ling with  elipses  and  hyperbolas  that  he  was  explaining  to 
us  that  the  hyperbola  was  an  elipse  whose  major  axis  ex- 
tended to  infinity.  He  had  drawn  an  hyperbola,  extending 
the  lines  of  the  figure  entirely  across  the  blackboard  and, 
stopping  at  that,  was  trying  to  impress  us  with  the  infinite 
distance  to  which  we  might  conceive  these  lines  to  have 
extended.  As  he  hesitated  for  a  moment,  trying  to  think 
of  sufficiently  expressive  language  with  which  to  portray 
his  thought,  one  of  the  rogues  of  the  class  spoke  up,  "Per- 
haps to  Rochelle,  Doctor".  A  smile  spread  over  Doctor 
Keppel's  face  as  he  answered,  his  eyes  twinkling,  "Yes, 
those  lines  might  extend  as  far  as  Rochelle  and  then  we 
would  have  only  started". 

And  thus  we  came  to  have  a  feeling  more  akin  to  love  for 
the  man.  Even  yet  tho  we  did  not  seem  intimately  ac- 
quainted with  our  professor — it  was  I  might  say  a  passive 
friendship  extending  outside  the  classroom,  but  even  then 
not  the  closer  friendship  we  enjoyed  later. 

As  Sophomores  we  came  to  know  Doctor  Keppel  better. 
Our  class  was  smaller  for  one  thing  and  for  another  we  had 
gotten  into  Calculus,  a  branch  of  mathematics  which  was 
perhaps  of  greater  interest  to  our  professor.  Certainly 
he  seemed  to  give  even  more  of  himself  to  the  work  and  in 
this  way  we  were  accorded  a  better  acquaintance  with  him. 
With  the  smaller  class  we  came  more  intimately  into  con- 


Keppel  Memorial  Exercises  13 

tact  with  him — came  to  know  him  not  only  as  a  teacher  but 
somewhat  more  as  a  man. 

As  an  illustration  of  this  more  intimate  feeling — the 
feeling  that  he  was  more  or  less  one  of  us — I  might  mention 
a  little  pleasantry  that  occurred  one  spring  morning.  As 
we  came  to  our  class  from  the  Engineering  Building,  one  of 
the  boys,  probably  with  no  definite  thought  in  mind,  picked 
three  or  four  yellow  daisies  which  he  carried  up  to  the  class- 
room. In  the  classroom,  of  course,  some  one  suggested  that 
the  bouquet  should  be  given  to  "Teacher",  and  as  "Teacher" 
had  not  yet  arrived,  the  flowers  were  forthwith  arranged  in 
a  cup  of  water  and  placed  upon  the  desk  to  await  his  arrival. 
As  Doctor  Keppel  came  to  the  desk,  he  of  course  noticed 
this  roguish  offering,  but  the  simplicity,  the  twinkle  in  his 
eyes,  and  the  smile  as  he  raised  the  tin  cup  of  posies  to 
smell  them ;  his  bow,  and  the  words  of  thanks  to  the  donor, 
completely  won  the  class.     "Kep"  was  all  right. 

Little  things  like  this  were  what  drew  us  more  closely 
to  him.  We  saw  that  he  had  an  appreciation  of  all  things 
much  as  we  had.  For  all  his  being  well  past  us  in  years,  his 
heart  was  young  and  he  was  in  spirit  very  much  a  boy. 
That  this  was  so,  that  he  was  young  at  heart,  and  that  he 
was  for  the  boys  was  strikingly  brought  out  in  the  last 
speech  that  I  remember  he  made  in  chapel. 

It  was  at  the  time  the  question  of  sending  representatives 
to  Blue  Ridge  came  up  before  the  student-body.  The  whole- 
hearted sincerity  with  which  he  spoke,  unqualifiedly  sup- 
porting the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  and  its 
work,  made  us  realize  more  than  anything  else  could  have 
done,  just  how  deeply  he  was  interested  in  our  welfare. 
And  as  he  sat  down  after  so  ably  supporting  our  Young 
Men's  Christian  Association,  the  applause  that  went  up 
from  the  boys  showed  that  he  had  touched  every  one  of 
them.  He  had  shown  himself  to  be  truly  our  friend,  he 
was  with  us  in  spirit  and  at  heart.     He  wanted  to  help  us. 

And  so,  as  we  saw  more  of  Doctor  Keppel  and  really  came 
to  know  him,  our  attitude  toward  him  changed  and  grew. 
First  it  was  that  impersonal  interest  that  the  student  takes 


14  University  of  Florida 

in  a  professor  upon  whom  he  knows  he  can  always  rely  for 
a  fair  deal  and,  in  time  of  necessity,  for  help. 

Next  he  came  to  be  a  passive  friend.  One  whom  we  met 
of  course  only  in  the  classroom,  but  a  man  whom  it  was  a 
pleasure  to  greet  when  we  passed  him  going  to  or  from 
town. 

Later  he  was  our  friend  in  the  classroom,  a  professor 
with  whom  we  might  talk  of  things  outside  of  the  day's 
lesson,  a  man  who  took  an  interest  in  the  things  that  in- 
terested us,  and  a  man  who  could  laugh  with  us. 

And  finally  Doctor  Keppel  showed  himself  to  be  deeply 
interested  in  our  activities  and  to  be  at  heart  for  us — 
as  we  liked  to  think — one  of  us.  He  stood  for  much  to  us 
boys,  just  how  much  it  would  be  hard  to  say;  for  those 
things  which  we  feel  most  are  the  hardest  for  us  to  ex- 
press. We  can  simply  say  that  we  held  him  in  high  respect, 
that  he  was  our  friend,  and  that  we  loved  him. 

H.  G.  KEPPEL  AS  A  TEACHER 

W.  S.  Cawthon 
Professor   of    Secondary   Education,   University   of   Florida 

Professor  Keppel  possessed  in  eminent  degree  the  traits 
of  an  ideal  teacher.  His  was  the  rare  power  of  imparting 
a  boundless  enthusiasm  for  learning  and  of  appreciating 
the  viewpoint  of  his  students.  He  was  a  profound  scholar 
when  he  entered  the  profession  of  teaching,  and  his  labor 
as  a  student  ended  only  with  life.  In  his  work  he  was 
content  to  be  overlooked,  nay,  he  was  desirous  of  remaining 
in  the  background,  while  the  things  that  he  taught  were 
manifest  in  the  foreground. 

II 

Professor  Keppel  believed  in  his  subject  so  firmly  that 
he  rarely  found  it  desirable  to  emphasize  the  importance 
of  the  various  branches  of  it.  It  was  not  necessary  for  him 
to  defend  the  presence  of  mathematics  in  the  curriculum. 
His  character  as  a  student  and  teacher  exhibited  clearly 
the  gains  which  arise  from  study.     The  fullness  and  ac- 


Keppel  Memorial  Exercises  15 

curacy  of  his  knowledge,  his  buoyant  attitude  even  in 
drudgery,  acted  as  compelling  forces  to  draw  to  him  and 
his  subjects  those  destined  to  enjoy  the  riches  into  which 
he  had  already  come.  Being  a  workman  who  was  master 
of  his  tools,  sure  of  himself,  and  who  knew  that  he  was  able, 
he  never  hurried  nor  worried,  but  worked  and  waited,  con- 
fident that  the  results  would  take  care  of  themselves.  Tho 
far  from  belonging  to  the  walking-delegate  class,  he  could 
on  occasion,  set  forth  the  merits  of  his  subject  with  an 
earnestness  and  a  power  that  carried  conviction. 

Ill 

It  is  a  characteristic  of  truth  that  it  must  be  viewed  in 
fragments — that  it  can  be  comprehended  only  when  pre- 
sented in  disjointed  portions.  No  amount  of  ingenuity  can 
relieve  knowledge  of  this  unfortunate  peculiarity.  Because 
of  this  necessity  of  seizing  truth  bit  by  bit,  the  young  mind 
revolts.  The  mystery  of  the  science  of  mathematics  consists 
in  taking,  in  a  definite  order,  a  series  of  simple  steps,  each 
uninviting  in  itself.  The  complete  structure  in  all  its  beauty 
cannot  be  appreciated  by  the  learner  in  the  early  stages. 
Under  the  guidance  of  a  tyro  the  student's  intellect  recoils ; 
a  step  is  missed  and  disaster  follows.  The  conclusion  is 
encouraged  that  the  student  has  no  head  for  mathematics. 

IV 

Whether  there  are  people  who,  tho  successful  in  other 
studies,  cannot  learn  mathematics,  I  say  frankly  that  I  do 
not  know.  I  do  not  believe  that  our  friend  worked  upon 
any  such  hypothesis,  for  the  success  of  such  a  large  per- 
centage of  his  pupils  would  have  seemed  to  constitute  an 
argument  to  the  contrary.  He  was  so  skillful,  so  systematic 
in  his  presentation,  that  the  sense  of  pettiness  in  the  sub- 
ject-matter was  overcome,  and  the  students  omitted  no  es- 
sential steps.  If  a  member  of  a  class  was  absent  from  one 
or  more  recitations,  upon  his  return  he  wrote  out  an  assign- 
ment, carefully  prepared  with  his  particular  needs  in  view. 
The  systematic,  personal  attention  given  him,  tho  one 
of  a  class  of  fifty  members,  rendered  attractive  to  him  a 
subject  generally  considered  dry ;  it  inspired  and  invigorated 


16  University  of  Florida 

his  life,  to  the  extent  of  making  him  feel  that  he  must  not 
fail ;  and  he  usually  succeeded.  Professor  Keppel  so  taught 
that,  on  every  occasion,  every  member  of  the  class  was 
given  an  opportunity  to  find  himself  out,  with  respect  to 
every  important  point  in  the  lesson.  The  attitude  of  re- 
spectful attention  which  was  ever  apparent  on  the  part  of 
the  students,  was  due  to  the  pleasure  that  always  springs 
from  well  ordered  activity.  It  was  not  due  to  any  artificial 
restraint  imposed  by  an  outside  authority. 

V 

It  is  a  commonplace  that  one  may  know  a  subject  and  yet 
be  unable  to  teach  it — that  the  possession  of  knowledge  and 
the  impartation  of  it  are  two  very  different  things.  We 
often  hear  it  said  that  the  subject  is  so  easy  for  some 
teachers  that  they  cannot  see  why  their  students  should  have 
any  difficulties.  Apparently  such  teachers,  because  of  lack 
of  imagination,  fail  to  enter  into  the  lives  of  their  students. 
They  attribute  to  the  intellect  of  the  learner  their  own 
modes  of  thinking  and  the  possession  of  facts  which  they 
themselves  happen  to  know.  If  there  is  any  truth  in  the 
old  adage  that  "teachers  are  born,  not  made",  the  basis  of 
such  must  be  here.  The  aptitude  for  adapting  oneself  to 
the  viewpoint  of  another,  certainly  grows  thru  cultivation, 
but  how  fortunate  the  teacher  who  possesses  this  aptitude 
in  large  measure  when  he  first  enters  upon  his  work !  Pro- 
fessor Keppel  seemed  to  me  to  be  endowed  with  an  imagina- 
tion which  enabled  him  to  place  himself  completely  in  the 
position  of  his  students.  He  knew  before  the  class  as- 
sembled, how  difficult  or  how  easy  for  each  the  task  would 
be.  It  was  his  custom  at  the  beginning  of  the  hour  to  call 
upon  the  members  of  the  class  in  turn  for  brief  oral  reports 
concerning  their  preparation.  These  reports  were  rapidly 
tabulated  as  they  were  made.  There  was  every  incentive 
to  show  progress  and  to  report  correctly. 

VI 

Professor  Keppel  was  a  great  scholar,  not  only  in  his  own 
field  but  also  in  other  fields.  Having  spent  a  long  period  in 
preparation,  it  did  not  devolve  upon  him  to  teach  subjects 


Keppel  Memorial  Exercises  17 

in  which  his  attainments  were  not  several  years  ahead  of 
those  of  his  students.  He  did  not  subscribe  to  the  fallacy 
that  one  can  teach  all  that  he  knows.  At  no  time  did  he 
seem  to  be  teaching  right  up  to  the  edge  of  his  knowledge ; 
on  the  other  hand  he  appeared  to  cover  the  entire  range  of 
the  subject  at  will,  conscious  of  no  limitations  as  far  as  he 
was  concerned.  He  exercised  remarkable  control  over  him- 
self, giving  just  enough  information  to  keep  his  students  at 
work,  and  leaving  them  with  the  impression  that  back  of 
what  they  had  learned  lay  a  wealth  of  knowledge  upon 
which  drafts  could  be  made  at  any  time.  Much  of  his  suc- 
cess as  a  teacher  lay  in  his  ability  to  discern  when  he  should 
talk  and  when  he  should  refrain  from  talking.  As  long 
as  the  boys  showed  that  they  could  go  forward  on  any  black- 
board assignment,  nothing  was  said,  but  if  any  considerable 
number  of  them  halted  in  their  work,  the  class  was  quickly 
and  quietly  seated,  and  the  teacher  by  means  of  a  few  well- 
directed  remarks,  or  perhaps  a  neat  diagram  made  with 
colored  crayon,  cleared  up  the  difficult  point.  Work  was 
immediately  resumed  at  the  board,  reducing  the  loss  of 
time  to  a  minimum. 

vn 

His  accurate  scholarship  and  his  unflagging  industry  in 
daily  preparation  were  in  evidence  when  he  reviewed  solu- 
tions upon  the  blackboard.  Standing  at  some  point  in  the 
room  from  which  he  could  see  all  of  the  boards,  he  rapidly 
checked  the  solutions  by  means  of  inconspicuous  memo- 
randa which  he  had  prepared.  By  the  time  that  the  work 
was  completed,  comparison  had  been  made,  and  time  gained. 
In  fact  the  classroom  procedure  was  such  that  there  was 
practically  no  "lost  motion".  It  is  unfortunate  that  the 
same  is  not  true  in  a  majority  of  classes  in  mathematics. 

VIII 

When  Professor  Keppel  took  charge  of  the  Department 
of  Mathematics  in  1908,  there  was  little  or  no  equipment 
belonging  thereto.  During  the  ten  years  of  his  profes- 
sorship, much  valuable  apparatus  was  acquired.  Some  of 
this  was  purchased,  but  by  far  the  greater  part  was  made 


18  University  of  Florida 

on  the  campus  by  the  professor  and  his  students.  To  my 
mind,  his  contribution  represents  one  of  the  institution's 
most  valuable  assets,  not  because  of  the  intrinsic  worth  of 
the  apparatus,  considerable  as  that  may  be,  but  because  of 
the  labor  of  love  for  which  the  equipment  will  stand  in 
future  years. 

IX 

The  charm  of  our  departed  friend's  character  as  a  teacher 
was  intensified  by  the  fact  that  he  was  not  a  naiTow  spe- 
cialist. It  was  easy  for  him  to  converse  at  length  on  other 
subjects  than  those  peculiar  to  his  chosen  vocation.  Poetry, 
philosophy,  birds  and  flowers,  often  engaged  his  attention, 
and  thoughts  of  them  were  unmistakably  reflected  in  his 
teaching;  giving  to  the  latter  a  distinction  rarely  observed. 
His  versatility  in  discussion  at  the  meetings  of  the  Athe- 
naeum Club,  was  a  matter  of  remark  among  his  fellow-mem- 
bers. In  speaking  or  writing,  in  the  classroom  or  out  of  it, 
his  style  was  a  model  of  logic  and  brevity.  His  was  the 
proverbial  ''last  word".

In  these  days  one  hears  much  of  "productive  scholar- 
ship". The  question  is  often  asked  of  the  candidate  for  a 
position,  "What  have  you  published"?  If  he  has  not  pub- 
lished anything,  he  is  at  a  disadvantage,  tho  he  may  be 
a  successful  teacher.  I  am  not  informed  concerning  the 
contributions  made  by  Professor  Keppel  to  the  literature  of 
mathematics,  for  he  never  spoke  of  them  to  me ;  neither 
has  any  one  else  told  me  of  them.  I  do  not  know  that  he  was 
productive  of  books  or  pamphlets,  but  I  could  meet  his 
students  and  see  them  work,  a  year  or  longer  after  they 
had  first  entered  his  classes,  and  know  that  he  was  pro- 
ductive of  much  that  is  highest  and  best  in  human  character. 
It  is  my  preference  to  be  reminded  of  him  in  this  way. 

XI 

Rarely  does  one  see  teaching  that  can  be  called  excellent. 
Too  often  is  the  teacher  a  hindrance  to  himself  thru  his 
desire  to  keep  in  the  mind  of  the  student.  If  he  is  skillful 
he  does  not  like  for  his  class  to  overlook  the  fact.    Conscious 


Keppel  Memorial  Exercises  19 

of  having  presented  a  subject  well,  as  he  thinks,  he  is 
annoyed  upon  ascertaining  that  his  class  have  missed  the 
most  important  things  and  have  grasped  only  the  trivial 
and  the  incidental.  Upon  meeting  his  students  years  after 
their  .schooldays  are  over,  and  noting  that  they  barely 
recognize  him,  he  is  hurt  and  feels  that  they  are  ungrateful. 
Professor  Keppel  seemed  to  be  indifferent  as  to  whether  or 
not  the  students  thought  of  him  when  he  was  teaching,  his 
main  concern  being  to  have  them  comprehend  the  sub- 
ject. He  did  not  live  for  himself,  but  for  his  students  and 
for  the  truth  to  be  imparted.  He  was  content  to  be  forgot- 
ten, able  to  rise  above  any  semblance  of  unthankfulness  on 
the  part  of  those  that  he  taught.  In  all  sincerity  could  he 
have  said  with  David  Swing,  "The  teacher  lives  in  a  world 
where  those  who  lay  the  mighty  foundations  of  a  cathedral 
are  forgotten,  when  compared  with  those  who  carve  its 
columns  or  stain  its  colored  glass".  In  the  humble  opinion 
of  one  whose  privilege  it  was  to  call  him  teacher  and  friend, 
such  was  his  most  noble  trait. 

DOCTOR  KEPPEL  AS  A  SCHOLAR 

Hon.  Thos.  M.  Shackleford 
Former  Chief  Justice,  Supreme  Court  of  Florida 

In  his  memorable  Phi  Beta  Kappa  oration  on  "The  Amer- 
ican Scholar",  delivered  at  Harvard  University  in  1837, 
Emerson  said  that  the  education  of  the  scholar  was  three- 
fold, "by  Nature,  by  books,  and  by  action",  and  declared 
that  "the  office  of  the  scholar  is  to  cheer,  to  raise,  and  to 
guide  men  by  showing  them  facts  amidst  appearances". 
Elsewhere  he  has  said  that  "The  scholar  is  here  to  fill 
others  with  love  and  courage  by  confirming  their  trust  in 
the  love  and  wisdom  which  are  at  the  heart  of  all  things ; 
to  afhrm  noble  sentiments;  to  hear  them  wherever  spoken, 
out  of  the  deeps  of  ages,  out  of  the  obscurities  of  barbarous 
life,  and  to  republish  them ;  to  untune  nobody,  but  to  draw 
all  after  the  truth,  and  to  keep  men  spiritual  and  sweet". 

Tested  by  these  sayings  of  the  sage  of  Concord  there  can 
be  no  question  that  Dr.  Keppel  was  a  scholar  in  the  fullest 


20  University  of  Florida 

sense  of  the  word  and  that  he  not  only  realized  the  office 
of  the  scholar  and  the  weighty  responsibility  which  rests 
upon  him,  but  bravely  met  and  discharged  them.  I  im- 
agine that  he  must  have  been  a  student  and  lover  of  Nature 
from  his  early  childhood.  I  know  that  he  had  popdered 
over  her  lessons  and  that  he  was  a  constant  worshipper  at 
her  shrine.  I  think  that  this  had  much  to  do  with  his 
sunny  nature  and  in  keeping  his  enthusiasms  fresh  and 
blooming.  I  know  that  he  never  lost  his  love  for  Nature 
and  fairly  revelled  in  her  beauties — the  flowers,  the  trees, 
the  birds. 

That  he  had  been  a  close  student  of  books  was  evident 
to  all  who  came  in  contact  with  him,  and  yet  there  was 
nothing  of  the  pedant  about  him.  Simple  and  unaffected, 
modest  and  unassuming  to  a  degree,  it  was  entirely  foreign 
to  his  nature  to  attempt  to  make  any  parade  of  his  erudition. 
Egotism  and  arrogance  had  no  place  in  his  nature.  Of  his 
technical  knowledge  in  his  chosen  field  of  mathematics  I  am 
not  competent  to  speak,  but  the  academic  degrees  which  he 
had  earned,  the  chairs  which  he  had  filled  in  several  colleges 
and  universities,  and  the  papers  which  he  had  written  bear 
ample  testimony  to  his  education  by  books. 

I  must  ask  your  kind  permission  to  be  somewhat  personal 
in  this  tribute  which  I  gladly  offer  to  his  memory.  My 
acquaintance  with  our  dear  friend,  so  lately  lost  to  us, 
began  in  the  spring  of  1910,  when  rather  rashly  I  accepted 
an  invitation  from  this  University  to  deliver  some  lectures 
treating  of  the  philosophy  of  William  James.  I  use  the 
word  "rashly"  advisedly,  for,  if  I  had  given  a  sober  second 
thought  to  the  matter,  I  should  not  have  had  the  courage 
to  undertake  to  give  lectures  before  the  members  of  the 
faculty  of  the  University  of  Florida  on  the  abstruse  subject 
of  philosophy.  I  should  know  better  now.  In  one  of  my 
early  lectures  I  had  occasion  to  enter  the  domain  of  mathe- 
matics in  an  attempt  to  show  something  of  the  relations 
existing  between  philosophy  and  mathematics  and  the  in- 
debtedness of  the  former  to  the  latter.  I  remember  refer- 
ring to  the  great  Poincare  and  to  some  of  the  other  philo- 
sophical mathematicians  and  quoting  some  of  their  rather 


Keppel  Memorial  Exercises  21 

paradoxical  utterances.  I  observed  that  Dr.  Keppel  closely 
followed  this  lecture,  and  at  the  close  he  came  to  me  and 
said  that  he  would  like  to  have  a  talk  with  me.  I  readily 
assented,  but  let  me  confess  that  I  did  so  with  some  trepi- 
dation, wondering  how  a  professional  mathematician  might 
view  the  intrusion  of  a  layman  into  so  technical  a  field. 
Imagine  my  relief  and  gratification  when  I  found  during 
the  conversation  which  we  had  that  afternoon  that  Dr. 
Keppel  was  so  kind  as  to  approve  what  I  had  said  and  to 
express  his  pleasure  that  I  had  been  drawn  to  Poincare. 
I  discovered  that  he  was  personally  acquainted  with  him 
and  had  heard  him  lecture  both  in  Paris  and  America.  It 
further  developed  that  Dr.  Keppel  was  intensely  interested 
in  the  philosophical  side  of  mathematics  and  had  read  widely 
along  those  lines.  He  was  walking  in  the  full  light  of  the 
subject,  while  I  was  stumbling  along  in  semi-darkness. 
Other  conversations  followed  both  here  and  in  my  own  home, 
and  I  soon  found  that  Dr.  Keppel  belonged  to  that,  class 
of  mathematicians  so  brilliantly  represented  by  Poincare, 
Bergson,  Bertrand,  Russell,  and  Cassius  J.  Keyser,  to  men- 
tion only  a  few.  The  acquaintance  with  Dr.  Keppel  so 
happily  begun  soon  ripened  into  a  firm  friendship,  and  I 
gladly  here  and  now  wish  to  record  my  great  indebtedness 
to  him  for  help  and  guidance  both  in  the  way  of  inspiring 
conversations  and  uplifting  letters.  If  I  had  the  privilege 
of  bringing  to  his  attention  the  Hibbert  Journal,  to  which 
he  became  much  attracted,  and  of  certain  writings  of  Prof. 
Keyser  concerning  mathematics  and  religion,  which  greatly 
interested  him,  he  repaid  his  indebtedness  to  me,  as  he 
chose  to  term  it,  many  times  over.  I  was  the  pupil,  he  the 
master.  I  no  longer  found  it  necessary  to  write  to  the 
professors  of  mathematics  at  Columbia  and  other  universi- 
ties for  information,  as  I  had  been  accustomed  to  do,  but 
submitted  all  of  my  problems  to  Dr.  Keppel,  who  never 
failed  to  give  me  light. 

He  was  no  dry-as-dust  mathematician,  as  unhappily 
would  seem  to  be  true  of  so  many  who  fill  that  chair  in  our 
institutions  of  learning,  but  was  interested  in  the  other 
departments  of  knowledge.     The  study  of  mathematics  so 


22  University  of  Florida 

assiduously  pursued  by  him  from  his  student  days  up  to 
the  close  of  his  earthly  career  never  had  any  tendency  to 
narrow  his  interest  in  human  life.  He  had  a  vivid  imagi- 
nation and  fully  appreciated  what  might  be  aptly  termed  the 
poetry  of  mathematics.  The  speculative  side  of  the  science 
appealed  to  him  and  he  delighted  in  talking  with  those  who 
were  interested  concerning  non-Euclidian  geometry,  the 
fourth  dimension  and  celestial  mechanics.  He  was  fond  of 
music  and  I  shall  never  forget  the  information  which  he 
gave  me  of  the  relation  which  existed  between  music  and 
mathematics.  He  also  had  a  keen  sense  of  humor,  which 
must  have  added  to  his  attractiveness  as  a  teacher  and  had 
a  tendency  to  brighten  his  classroom.  I  have  delightful 
memories  of  a  conversation  which  we  had  over  one  of  Sir 
William  Hamilton's  essays,  in  which  the  Edinburgh  philo- 
sopher undertook  to  demonstrate  that  the  study  of  mathe- 
matics had  a  tendency  to  foster  credulity  and  also  to  lead 
to  skepticism.  Our  friend  most  emphatically  repudiated 
these  doctrines  of  Hamilton  and  strenuously  insisted  that 
rightly  pursued  the  study  had  just  the  reverse  effect.  In 
this  I  fully  agreed  with  him.  Most  assuredly  no  such 
effect  had  been  produced  upon  him.  He  was  a  devout  man 
and  could  truly  be  termed  a  Christian  scholar.  He  realized 
that  the  Master  had  a  special  message  to  the  scholar,  which 
he  willingly  heard  and  accepted  and  exemplified  by  his  life. 
Who  can  measure  the  great  service  which  he  rendered  to  the 
church  of  which  he  was  a  member  and  to  the  cause  of 
religion  generally? 

We  have  now  touched  upon  the  education  of  our  friend 
by  Nature  and  by  books.  It  yet  remains  to  speak  of  his 
education  by  action.  This  can  be  done  quite  briefly.  We 
might  well  say  that  his  life  was  given  to  action,  in  helping 
those  pursuing  their  studies  in  his  department,  the  student- 
body  generally,  his  associates  in  the  faculty,  and  indeed 
all  with  whom  he  came  in  contact,  by  his  words  of  wisdom, 
by  his  cheer,  and  by  his  counsel.  His  life  may  be  said  to 
have  been  largely  a  reaction  upon  what  he  had  learned 
from  Nature  and  from  books.  He  was  indeed  "a  lover  and 
helper  of  his  fellow-men",  and  in  discharging  what  he  con- 


Keppel  Memorial  Exercises  23 

ceived  to  be  his  duty  to  his  fellow-men,  his  country,  and 
his  God  he  came  to  the  end  of  his  earthly  pilgrimage.  He 
was  a  "true  Knight  of  learning"  and,  as  our  genial  Auto- 
crat has  beautifully  said, 

"The  true  Knight  of  learning,  the  world  holds  him  dear ; 
Love  bless  him,  joy  crown  him,  God  speed  his  career." 

Love  had  blessed  our  friend;  joy  had  crowned  him;  and 
God  has  sped  his  career  from  earth  to  that  realm  of  eternal 
life.

THE  FARMERS'  SHORT  COURSES 

The  purpose  of  the  Short  Courses  in  Agriculture  is  to 
enable  men  and  women  who  do  not  find  it  possible  to  attend 
the  longer  courses  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  some  of  the 
fundamental  principles  of  agriculture  as  applied  to  Florida 
conditions.  Agriculture  in  the  State  of  Florida  is  in  a 
transition  stage  from  the  old  to  the  new.  Her  rural  popula- 
tion is  being  increased  annually  by  people  from  other  states 
who  are  not  well  informed  concerning  agricultural  condi- 
tions here.  The  College  of  Agriculture  occupies  a  very  im- 
portant position  in  relation  to  these  people  and  to  the  agri- 
cultural development  of  the  state.  It  is  pointing  the  way 
for  the  development  of  a  stable  agriculture,  and  helping 
the  newcomer  to  adapt  himself  to  the  new  conditions  in 
which  he  is  placed. 

The  Short  Courses  are  planned  for  the  busy  man  and 
woman  who  can  spend  only  a  short  time  at  the  College. 
Four  separate  courses  have  been  arranged  to  meet  the  de- 
mand. These  are  in  Animal  Husbandry  and  General  Agri- 
culture, Poultry  Husbandry,  Citrus  Culture  and  Vegetable 
Growing,  and  Tractors  and  General  Agriculture. 

An  examination  of  the  schedule  of  studies  will  show  the 
size  and  nature  of  the  programs  that  are  being  offered  this 
year.  The  student  is  taught  by  lectures  and  by  practical 
exercises.  He  is  required  to  do  things  which  will  assist 
him  in  planning  his  farm  work  and  will  make  him  more 
expert  in  his  work  of  stock  raising,  dairying,  or  fruit  grow- 
ing. On  account  of  the  extent  of  the  courses  it  is  impossible 
for  anyone  to  take  advantage  of  all  of  them  during  one  ses- 
sion. The  student  is  urged  to  pick  the  course  that  will  be 
of  most  interest  and  use  to  him  and  to  attend  the  whole  of  it. 

THE  COLLEGE  OF  AGRICULTURE 

The  College  of  Agriculture  is  one  of  the  divisions  of  the 
University  of  Florida  at  Gainesville.  The  University  occu- 
pies a  tract  of  six  hundred  and  four  acres,  of  which  one 
hundred   and  thirty-five  acres  are  used  for  instructional 


6  University  of  Florida 

work  by  the  College  of  Agriculture,  and  three  hundred  and 
seventy-nine  for  experimental  work  by  the  Agricultural 
Experiment  Station,  It  is  located  in  a  progressive  agricul- 
tural community.  This,  in  connection  with  the  large  variety 
of  products  grown  upon  its  own  farms,  affords  the  student 
an  excellent  opportunity  for  observation  and  study. 

BUILDINGS  AND  EQUIPMENT 

The  College  of  Agriculture  and  the  Agricultural  Ex- 
periment Station  occupy  separate  buildings  on  the  Uni- 
versity campus.  The  College  of  Agriculture  building  was 
planned  particularly  for  instructional  work.  There  are 
large,  well-lighted  and  well-equipt  laboratories  for  the  work 
in  soils,  fertilizers,  agronomy,  horticulture,  veterinary  sci- 
ence, farm  machinery,  and  dairying.  There  is  an  audito- 
rium specially  fitted  for  stock  exhibit  and  judging  work. 

The  dairy  barn  is  large,  new,  and  well  provided  with  silos 
and  modern  equipment.  It  is  one  of  the  best  in  the  state. 
There  are  over  57  head  of  cattle  in  the  dairy  herd,  many  of 
which  are  pure  bred  Jerseys.  The  beef  herd  includes  the 
Shorthorn  and  Angus  breeds. 

The  hog  herd  includes  representatives  of  the  Chester 
White,  Duroc-Jersey,  Poland-China,  Tamworth,  and  Berk- 
shire breeds.  A  number  of  feeding  experiments  with  these 
are  now  under  way. 

The  collection  of  grasses  and  legumes  in  the  plant  intro- 
duction garden  on  the  Horticultural  Grounds  includes 
several  hundred  different  species.  These  afford  opportunity 
for  study  for  those  who  are  particularly  interested. 

Special  equipment  is  being  assembled  for  the  work  in 
Poultry  Husbandry.  There  will  be  representatives  of  all 
of  the  chief  breeds,  and  a  complete  equipment  of  incubators, 
brooders,  and  other  appliances.  There  are  some  nice  flocks 
in  the  community  that  will  be  available  for  observation  and 
study. 

The  work  of  the  Course  in  Citrus  Culture  will  be  carried 
on  in  the  laboratories  of  the  Experiment  Station,  which  is 
one  of  the  best  equipt  Stations  in  the  South.  The  Hayes, 
Bean,  Hardie,  Deming,  and  other  power  sprayers  will  form 


Farmers'  Short  Course  7 

a  part  of  the  equipment  of  the  Farm  Machinery  Laboratory 
and  will  be  used  for  study  and  practice  work. 

The  Avery  Company,  The  International  Harvester  Com- 
pany, The  Cleveland  Tractor  Company,  The  Southern  Mo- 
line  Plow  Company,  The  Turner  Motor  Company,  and  a 
number  of  others  will  supply  the  tractors  to  the  Farm 
Machinery  Department  for  the  Course  in  Tractors.  They 
will  also  supply  charts,  parts  and  accessories  for  the  work, 
and  service  men  to  assist  in  the  practice  work. 

LIBRARY  FACILITIES 

The  Library  of  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  con- 
tains more  than  2,000  volumes  along  agricultural  and  allied 
lines.  Complete  sets  of  the  publications  of  the  different 
state  Agricultural  Experiment  Stations  and  of  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture  are  on  file,  as  well  as 
many  of  the  leading  American  and  foreign  periodicals.  The 
library  is  open  for  use  of  the  Short  Course  students. 

In  addition,  the  University  Library,  containing  more  than 
20,000  volumes,  is  available  to  the  students.  While  there 
will  be  little  free  time  on  account  of  the  full  schedules,  some 
will  doubtless  find  opportunity  to  look  for  special  informa- 
tion which  they  may  desire. 

NUMBER  OF  COURSES  OFFERED 

Four  courses,  each  lasting  ten  days,  are  offered  from 
January  6  to  16,  1920.  They  are  in  Animal  Husbandry 
and  General  Agriculture,  Poultry  Husbandry,  Citrus  Cul- 
ture and  Vegetable  Growing,  and  Tractors  and  General  Ag- 
riculture. The  courses  are  distinctly  different  and  are 
planned  to  meet  the  needs  of  different  groups  of  people  in 
the  State.  On  this  account,  persons  are  urged  to  register 
for  one  course  only.  The  applications  of  those  desiring  to 
take  parts  of  two  courses  will  be  granted,  provided  it  does 
not  cause  any  interference. 

ADMISSION 

There  are  no  entrance  examinations  to  the  Farmers' 
Short  Courses,  but  applicants  should  be  at  least  18  years

Farmers'  Short  Course 


COURSE  IN  ANIMAL  HUSBANDRY  AND   GENERAL 
AGRICULTURE 

January  6  to  16,  1920 

Florida  is  a  pioneer  state.  It  is  only  recently  that  her 
general  agriculture  has  been  put  on  a  stable  basis.  She  is 
just  now  on  the  verge  of  a  great  development.  The  razor- 
back  hog  and  the  tick-infested  range  cow  can  still  be  seen, 
but  they  are  fast  being  replaced  by  the  better  breeds  of 
animals.  Fields  of  cotton  are  still  grown,  but  they  are 
becoming  fewer.  In  the  new  agriculture,  live  stock  and 
dairying  is  being  made  the  basis.  Fields  of  corn,  velvet 
beans,  cane,  sorghum,  sweet  potatoes,  and  peanuts  are  tak- 
ing the  place  of  the  cotton.  Better  fences,  better  homes, 
better  credit  is  evident  on  every  hand. 

Every  farmer  must  take  a  part  in  this  great  change  from 
the  old  to  the  new.  There  is  no  longer  any  place  for  the 
razorback  hog  and  the  ticky  cow ;  the  boll  weevil  is  making 
cotton  growing  impossible.  To  make  the  change,  the  farmer 
must  have  knowledge.  This  he  may  obtain  by  observing 
the  work  of  his  more  progressive  neighbor;  by  reading 
his  agricultural  papers  and  the  bulletins  of  the  Experiment 
Station ;  by  cooperating  with  his  County  Agent  and  by  at- 
tending the  courses  at  the  Agricultural  College. 

The  Agricultural  College  forms  a  part  of  the  vanguard 
of  the  agricultural  development  in  every  state.  The  Col- 
lege of  Agriculture  of  the  University  of  Florida  is  perform- 
ing its  part  in  the  development  of  agriculture  in  Florida. 
The  Short  Course  in  Animal  Husbandry  and  General  Agri- 
culture is  planned  to  meet  the  present  needs  of  the  Florida 
farmer.  It  is  arranged  to  give  the  greatest  amount  of 
useful  information  in  the  shortest  amount  of  time. 

Soils  and  Fertilizers. — A  knowledge  of  these  subjects  is 
important  in  the  new  agriculture.  The  points  of  greatest 
importance  under  present  conditions  will  be  emphasized. 

Farm  Management. — In  the  old  agriculture,  not  much 
management  was  required.     Cotton  followed  cotton,  year 


10  University  of  Florida 

after  year.  The  stock  ran  free  on  the  ranges.  The  matter 
of  building  up  the  soil  was  given  scant  consideration.  With 
the  new  agriculture,  farm  management  is  all  important. 
The  farm  must  be  organized;  the  fields  given  proper  size; 
equipment  selected ;  crops  chosen ;  and  work  planned.  These 
matters  will  be  discussed  in  detail  in  this  course  and  ex- 
amples shown. 

Field  and  Forage  Crops. — The  selection  of  crops  and  the 
methods  used  in  growing  them  are  important  considera- 
tions. The  growing  of  sorghum,  corn,  Japanese  cane,  le- 
gumes, sweet  potatoes,  peanuts,  and  other  crops  and  their 
place  in  Florida  agriculture  will  be  studied. 

Animal  Husbandry. — The  work  offered  in  Animal  Hus- 
bandry will  include  lectures  and  demonstrations  dealing 
with  the  breeding,  feeding,  care,  management,  and  judging 
of  the  various  classes  of  farm  animals.  Examples  of  the 
best  breeds  of  hogs  and  cattle  will  be  available  for  study. 

Dairying. — Dairy  practices  for  use  on  the  general  farm 
will  be  given  special  consideration.  The  Babcock  test  for 
fat  in  milk  will  be  taught.  Farm  separators,  the  care  of 
milk  and  cream,  and  other  topics  of  special  interest  will  be 
discussed. 

Veterinary  Science. — The  work  in  this  subject  will  in- 
clude the  care  and  treatment  of  sick  animals ;  treatment  of 
common  diseases,  and  minor  operations.  Special  attention 
will  be  given  to  hog  cholera,  tuberculosis,  and  the  foot  and 
mouth  disease.  Clinics  will  be  held  and  practice  work 
given. 

Fai^m  Machinery. — Special  study  will  be  made  of  the 
implements  and  machinery  that  may  be  used  to  advantage 
on  Florida  farms.  Several  companies  will  have  complete 
displays  of  machinery  on  hand  for  study  and  demonstra- 
tion. A  number  of  gas  tractors  will  be  available  for  study 
and  practice  work.

Farmers'  Short  Course  13 

COURSE  IN  POULTRY  HUSBANDRY 
January  6  to  16,  1920 

The  course  in  Poultry  Husbandry  should  be  helpful  at 
this  time.  No  other  state  in  the  Union  is  like  Florida  in  its 
climate  and  its  opportunities  for  profitable  poultry  keeping. 
With  good  markets  within  its  borders,  green  grass  ranges 
twelve  months  in  the  year,  no  need  for  closed  and  costly 
houses,  and  feeds  to  be  had  for  the  raising,  it  is  easy  to 
understand  the  demand  for  this  second  complete  course  in 
poultry  production. 

The  farmers  are  increasing  the  size  of  their  flocks  and 
adopting  better  methods  of  care  and  feeding.  The  "back- 
yard campaigns"  have  stimulated  interest  in  town  lot  poul- 
try keeping.  The  newcomers  from  other  states  are  asking 
for  help  to  meet  their  needs  as  they  start  under  our  blue 
skies  and  comfortable  all-the-year  conditions. 

Florida  is  the  size  of  all  the  New  England  states,  with  a 
wider  range  in  its  advantages  for  poultry  raising.  A  study 
of  these  advantages  will  form  a  part  of  the  course.  Not  only 
will  the  subjects  be  covered  in  formal  lectures,  but  the 
round-table  plan  of  discussion  will  also  be  followed. 

Florida  needs  more  poultry  and  eggs  to  supply  present 
needs.  This  course  is  part  of  the  plan  to  stimulate  in- 
creased poultry  production.  There  should  be  good  poultry 
on  every  farm,  in  every  grove  and  in  the  backyards  of 
every  town.

COURSE  IN  CITRUS  CULTURE  AND  VEGETABLE 

GROWING 

January  6  to  16,  1920 

The  prospective  citrus  grower  should  know  the  charac- 
teristic of  good  grove  soil,  stock  and  varieties  that  are 
adapted  to  different  locations,  and  the  fertilizer  require- 
ments of  young  trees.  The  older  growers  may  need  informa- 
tion on  cultivation,  fertilization,  and  care  of  his  trees ;  and 
aid  in  identifying  the  troublesome  insects  and  diseases  that 
he  may  apply  the  best  methods  of  control  at  proper  time  and 
in  the  most  effective  way. 

The  man  who  grows  and  markets  first  class  fruit,  need 
have  no  fear  of  overproduction.  There  is  no  telling  how  soon 
poor  quality  fruit  may  not  pay  the  cost  of  producing  it.  It 
is  important  to  know  what  to  do  in  order  to  produce  good 
fruit  and  then  have  the  energy  and  determination  to  do  it. 
The  Short  Course  will  aid  the  grower  in  knowing  what  to 
do ;  it  will  be  up  to  him  to  do  it. 

The  growing  of  vegetables  for  shipment  to  Northern 
markets  is  an  important  industry  in  Florida.  The  time  of 
growing  them  and  the  methods  that  investigation  and  ex- 
perience have  shown  to  be  the  most  successful  may  be 
studied  with  profit  under  teachers  who  have  given  thought 
and  attention  to  them. 

The  home  garden  should  be  an  aid  in  reducing  the  high 
cost  of  living  in  every  home.  The  vegetables  that  may  be 
grown  during  the  different  seasons,  including  summer  when 
many  think  there  is  no  use  to  try  to  grow  them,  will  be 
studied.  The  insects  and  diseases  of  vegetable  crops  and 
remedies  for  them  are  questions  in  which  all  are  interested, 
and  these  will  be  discussed  at  the  Short  Course, 

Altho  the  annual  rainfall  is  great  it  is  not  well  distributed 
thruout  the  year.  The  conservation  of  moisture  in  our 
light  sandy  soils  and  the  use  of  irrigation  for  certain  crops 
that  are  grown  during  the  drier  part  of  the  year  may  make 
the  difference  between  success  and  failure.  These  subjects 
will  come  in  for  a  share  on  the  program.

Farmers'  Short  Course  19 


COURSE  IN  TRACTORS  AND  GENERAL 
AGRICULTURE 

January  6  to  16,  1920 

The  use  of  the  gas  tractor  in  Florida  is  being  rapidly 
extended,  and  has  occasioned  a  demand  for  a  short  practical 
course  in  tractor  operation  and  management.  It  is  becom- 
ing recognized  that  the  success  of  the  tractor  depends  to  a 
large  extent  upon  the  skill  with  which  it  is  operated. 

Realizing  this,  the  College  of  Agriculture  has  arranged 
to  cooperate  with  a  number  of  manufacturers  in  giving  this 
year  a  short  course  in  gas  tractors.  The  course  will  consist 
of  lectures  and  discussions  on  the  subject  of  gas  and  oil 
engines,  their  accessories  and  equipment,  and  the  application 
of  these  to  farm  tractors. 

Enough  lectures  on  soils,  fertilizers,  crops,  and  animal 
husbandry  will  be  included  in  this  course  to  give  a  man 
valuable  information  on  all  phases  of  farming. 

The  practice  work  will  consist  of  shop  work,  dismantling, 
adjusting,  and  repairing  tractors,  under  the  direction  of 
experienced  mechanics.  Some  field  practice  will  be  offered, 
but  emphasis  will  be  placed  upon  instruction  planned  to 
train  the  operator  to  detect  mechanical  troubles  as  they 
arise,  to  make  competent  inspection  of  the  condition  of  the 
tractor,  and  to  make  necessary  adjustments  and  repairs. 

A  number  of  different  tractors  will  be  available  for  use. 
Each  will  be  in  charge  of  an  experienced  service  man.  A 
collection  of  charts,  tractor  parts,  and  accessories  will  be 
on  hand  to  illustrate  and  facilitate  instruction.  The  en- 
gineering shops  will  be  available  for  practice  work  in  me- 
chanics as  related  to  the  tractor.  Discussions  and  demon- 
strations of  tractor  plows  and  other  implements  will  be  a 
feature  of  the  course. 

Besides  the  instructors  of  the  College  and  Experiment 
Station,  tractor  and  plow  specialists  will  give  lectures  and 
aid  with  the  practice  work.
