Founded in 1906 in Gainesville as a consolidation of several
smaller institutions focusing on agriculture, teacher training, and
the military, the University of Florida enjoys a storied history.
From its first year’s enrollment of 102, the school has grown to
become one of the largest educational institutions in the country.
As a world leader in the disciplines of engineering and science,
the university conducts important research in agriculture and other
fields and boasts a medical school with an international
reputation. Sports fans cheer the football team, which holds an
unbroken string of winning seasons since 1988. Join author Steve
Rajtar in this jaunt down memory lane as he revisits key moments,
pivotal leaders, and important landmarks in the history of UF, from
its origins in the nineteenth century to recent
times. Historic Photos of the University of
Florida, showcasing the home of the Gators and the birthplace
of Gatorade, belongs in the library of every graduate and all
supporters of one of the nation’s leading public universities.
