These gentlemen come TO the Uni
versity of Florida with the highest
possible recommendations as 20 their
character and TO their ability in their
several lines, and the authorities of
the university and the state at large
are to be congratulated upon the adj
dition of this group of vigorous young
scholars to the teaching force of the
state. With such men at the head of
her various departments, together
with the numerous very able men,
bers of the old faculty who still retain
their places, the University of Florida
may be expected to make rapid pro-
gress in the work of high and
thorough education. 1t may indeed
be fairly doubted if any institution in
the south can show a more COM
petent, vigorous and consecrated
faculty than that which is now pos
sessed by our own university. Ger
tainly these are prepared to give the
most thorough conscientious and
careful instruction, moreover, as high
and "a satisfactory as is provided by
any other institution in the south. ]
The people OF Florida may well be
proud of their state university, and
they may safely give it their hearty
and cordial support, with the assur-
ance that their sons can secure as
good and thorough and as advanced
instruction in our own state institu-
tion as in any other institution in the
south.
Educational currents have. for sev-
erai years, had a northward drift,
and many Florida students have pur-
sued their educational career in insti-
tutions lying to the north of us. The
people of Florida owe it to themsel- |
YES TO investigate their own institu-
tion and it it be found equal, and
perhaps superior TO other institutions
TO the north OF us. their every pat
riotic instinct. their pride OF home
and love OF their own state should |
and viii prompt them to commit the |
care OF their sons to their own insti- /
tuition.
Those who are competent TO Judge |
will testify that the University of |
Florida is equipped with a first class /
4oor,l+,- and l. rorox-idad in every way
