  • One Thing I've Come to Love About My New Home, the University of Florida
    President Kent Fuchs Inaugural Address “The Orange and Blue Horizon Beyond” Friday, Dec. 4, 2015 (3 p.m.) University Auditorium One thing I’ve come to love about my new home, the University of Florida, is the sky. It can be bold and blue. It can be mysterious and dark. Looking up at Century Tower and the palm trees in silhouette against the dramatic sky is, for me, a constant metaphor of possibility and promise. This spring, we moved commencement ceremonies outdoors to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. We worried about the prospect of the daily rain drenching thousands of graduates, their families, and the president. But for four evenings in a row the sky resolved into stunning shades of orange and blue. Page 2 of 25 I’d like to think the commencement sky was putting on a special show for the University of Florida. But this sky is telling us something more. It represents far greater horizons for UF than we have seen before. This sky is, for me, a reminder that this great university can climb sunward, and as John G. Magee put in his poem “High Flight,” “join the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds – and do a hundred things we have not yet dreamed of.” While Century Tower and our hallowed traditions and missions will always be here, in the foreground, it is time for us to explore a much bigger beyond. We are accustomed to thinking about our extraordinarily comprehensive academics on one contiguous campus, our athletics, our beloved land-grant mission and our identity in certain, timeworn ways.

  • The Decade Ahead: UF Goals and Plan Forward Page 1 of 17
    The Decade Ahead: UF Goals and Plan Forward Report of the Goal-Setting Task Force December 2015 I. Introduction The University of Florida has come a great distance in its journey to becoming a premier university that the nation and world look to for leadership. From origins in Lake City, UF opened in Gainesville in 1906 with three buildings and 102 students. Today, the university is one of the most comprehensive in the country, with 50,000 students, 5,500 faculty, a $707 million research operation – and top-ranked academic and research programs across 16 colleges that together offer more than 300 undergraduate majors and graduate degrees. This progress occurred over three eras: beginnings, growth, and excellence. UF’s first president was Andrew Sledd (1904 to 1909). Under President Sledd’s leadership, the university embraced its charter as one of the nation’s land-grant universities dedicated to providing “liberal and practical education” to Americans. With that mission, and at the instigation of its second president, Albert Murphree (1909 to 1927), UF by 1927 established colleges of law, agriculture, engineering, arts and sciences, pharmacy, architecture and what was then called commerce & journalism (later, the colleges of business and journalism & communications). The university built upon this foundation in the 1930s under the leadership of President John Tigert (1928 to 1947). President Tigert led the creation of the graduate school and the awarding of UF’s first doctoral degrees in 1934. Dr. Tigert also created the University Endowment Corporation, the forerunner to the UF Foundation; built Florida Field, then a 22,000-seat football stadium; and created the General College for freshmen and sophomores.

  • Memorial: Grace “Betty” Woodall Taylor (1926–2013)
    LAW LIBRARY JOURNAL Vol. 105:4 [2013-32] Memorial: Grace “Betty” Woodall Taylor (1926–2013) Face of University of Florida Law, Futurist, and Mentor* ¶1 I didn’t know Betty Taylor in 1962 when, as a junior at the University of Florida (UF), I contemplated three-and-a-half years of teaching to pay back a state scholarship before I could fulfill my dream of attending law school (without an identifiable source of funding to do so!); nor would any undergraduate woman have dared to enter the bastion of male chauvinism that constituted the law school of that period. An interview Betty gave to the Florida Alligator after a fire in the law library reading room changed the course of my life. She described her long course of J.D. study, first full time, then, after marriage to a young lawyer and motherhood, as a full-time reference librarian in the main library and part-time student who began studying every morning by 4 a.m. to be prepared for class, because she knew she was being watched critically. For approximately twenty-five years, Betty pro- vided the model, which many of us followed, of studying law part time while work- ing full time in law libraries (generally first as catalogers), which allowed women to gain a foothold in the profession. ¶2 Upon graduating from the new Master’s in Librarianship program at the Florida State College for Women (now Florida State University [FSU]) in 1950, Betty applied for a job in the Harvard Law Library and sought admission to its law school, only to learn that the law school did not accept women.
