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 Gators football team, which holds
an unbroken string of winning seasons since 1988. With a selection
of fine historic images from his best-selling book Historic
Photos of the University of Florida, Steve Rajtar provides a
valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the growth and
development of the university. Join Steve 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 its progress in the mid twentieth. Remembering the
University of Florida belongs in the library of every alum
and all supporters of one of the nation’s leading public
universities.
