This land grant school, established in 1884, became part of the University of Florida in 1905 under the Buckman Act. Military courses were obligatory at the college and this illustration, taken from the 1890-1891 catalogue, shows students drilling. At the time of this picture, H. P. Baya, professor of mathematics and en- gineering, was acting commandant. Later, army officers were detailed to the campus. This campus is now the site of the Veterans Hospital in Lake City. The large three-story building with the flag flying from the cupola housed ad- ministrative offices and classrooms. The structures to the rear were dormi- tories, and the one in the foreground was the science laboratory and agri- cultural experiment station.
