leave you more impressed than ever
with the feeling or general belief that
not entirely for machine duty.
The very name Of Tallahassee sug-
gests to the initiated the refinement
and culture that have characterized the
community through its entire history.
The city has cherished the traditions of
Southern hospitality, and is equally as
famous for it's delightful society as for
it's natural beauty and charm.
"In addition TO these leading charac.
teristics, Tallahassee enjoys good rail-
road facilities, which give her commu-
nication with all parts Of Florida by
means of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way. The city is also the terminus of
three other railroads, the Carrabelle,
Tallahassee and Georgia, Tallahassee
Southeastern, and the Georgia, Florida
and Alabama, which brings the city
within few hours of Atlanta, Macon
and Montgomery. AS result of this,
building is going on rapidly and the city
is increasing in wealth and population.
The capital of Florida is delightfully."-
situated in the glorious hill country of
North Florida. In all the South there
is probably no more attractive region.
It's hills are covered with forests of
pine, magnolia and oak, and with or
chards of peaches and pears. Between
these hills nestle lakes of exquisite
beauty, tempered in the warmer weather
by cool breezes from the Gulf. From
the circle of hills on which the city is
most picturesquely situated can be en-.
joyed panoramic views of the surround
ing country. In addition to it's beauty,
this region is equally noted for its health
fitness.
"Among all the towns Of Florida
there is none more charming or better
adapted for the location of a female
college than Tallahassee, and the Leg
islatuTe made no mistake in selecting
this city as the seat Of the State Female
College. The excellent supply of pure
water here, the highly moral status Of
the community and the uneXcelled eli
mate, in which parents and pupils from
the North may escape from the rigors
of the northern winter, appealed
strongly in Tallahassee favor when
the 1905 session of the Legislature de-
cided to abolish all the higher institu-
tions of learning and establish in lieu
thereof the Florida Female College and
OIaVe OnlNeFSlLyJ ana Jne OaplCal OiCy
won. The latter, for men, is located at
Gainesville, and is headed by Professor
Sledd, formerly of Emory College. The
Florida Female College is presided over
by Prof. Albert A. Murphree, formerly
president of the Florida State College.
The campus of the Florida Female
College is situated on hillin the West
ern suburbs of Tallahassee. The sides
and summit of the hill are beautified
with picturesque growth of pine and
oaks, in the midst Of which the college
buildings are situated. A broad avenue,
lined with majestic oaks, forms the ap-
proach from the center of the city to
the main entrance to the campus. No
more beautiful or more healthful situa-
ton than this could be desired or found
in this entire region of country. To the
south and west of the campus stretches
a panorama of green-clad hills and
sparkling lakes-a view in itself restful
to the eye and inspiring to the spirit. /"
