Talk:History of Florida State University

message: I have recently completed the initial phase of a major re-write of the Albert A. Murphree article.  Given that most of the available internet resources emphasize his time as president of the University of Florida (1909-1927), the article as it presently stands is admittedly light on a discussion of Murphree's accomplishments as president of West Florida Seminary/Florida State College/Florida Female College/Florida State College for Women as it evolved during the protean years of Murphree's presidency (1897-1909).  I would be grateful if someone more knowledgeable about available FSU references covering these years would make a recommendation of available and reliable references.  At a bare minimum, the article should include another paragraph discussing his accomplishments in Tallahassee.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:55, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: *Thanks, Sirberus.  Murphree looks like he was nearly as important to FSU's history as he was to UF's.  I would like for FSU folks to read the article and feel that it represents their history as well.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:59, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

message: While Florida was a territory at the time, the Florida Territorial Legislature paid support and passed laws relating specifically to the Leon Academy.  Can we consider the Leon Academy a state school?  --Sirberus (talk) 23:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If Florida wasn't a state, this clearly wasn't a "state school", but rather a school funded by the territorial governement, or whatever. How do the sources refer to it?--Cúchullain t/c 12:37, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The sources show repeated contact by school fathers with the Territorial Legislature for support and authority.  Were Florida a state and not a territory, I'd suggest it was a "state" school.  A compression of history, I suppose. Sirberus (talk) 12:23, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Was the Leon Academy a "state" institution? 

message: This is an inappropriate subject to cover in this article.  For example, we don't include the Ted Bundy killings or other crimes which occurred in and around campus over the years.  Such subjects are not relevant to the foundation of the university nor alter or affect the general direction of the university over time.  This strikes me as inserting a gun control political position in a history article.  I suppose one could argue the Gallows Hill executions are like references, but that association relates more to the location of Gallows Hill being part of the FSU campus than the executions which occurred there in the 1830s.  I suggest the section on the school shooting be deleted from this article.  Sirberus (talk) 21:15, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed and done.  This section was removed and the Ted Bundy section was as well.  Contributing authors need to stay on task and avoid the trap of recentism.  I also deleted some puffery which added no value to a history article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.168.151.105 (talk) 10:43, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
