    FINALLY HOME: THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA CAMPUS AS A MICROCOSM OF AMERICAN POST WORLD WAR II RESIDENTIAL DESIGN By JENNIFER LANE SCOTT GARRETT A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF INTERIOR DESIGN UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Jennifer L. Garrett To Tim ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee members for their great insight and guidance through this process. Professor Susan Tate, my committee chairperson, has been an extraordinary mentor to me through this process. Working as her assistant has been the most meaningful and enlightening experience of my educational career, and I will call on her wisdom for years to come. Professor Tate introduced me to some of the most important people in preservation today, including Roy Graham, whose recommendations to me as a committee member were invaluable. My research would not have been possible without the assistance of Dr. Julian Pleasants and the office of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program at the University of Florida. Roberta Peacock and Ben Houston were especially helpful in guiding me through the oral history process and keeping my research organized. I would also like to thank the participants of the Flavet Oral History Program and their willingness to share their university experiences. As part of my research, I had the pleasure of working with Harold Barrand of University Physical Plant Division and Linda Dixon in the Facilities Planning Division of University of Florida. Their assistance was crucial in obtaining accurate campus maps and building plans and specifications.
