Ross Sawyer - Attends Meet Of Alumni Lake City Session Is Addressed By Univ. Of Florida President Miller Ross C. Sawyer returned Sun- day from the meeting of the Alumni Association of the Univer- sity of Florida at Lake City, which was held on Friday, April 3. The dedication of a plaque and the unveiling of the marker to the tity of Lake City by Leland Hiatt, executive secretary of the U. of Fla. Alumni Association, was held at 6:15 p. m. at the main north gate of the Veeterans Administra- tion Hospital. This was the home of the University before it was moved to Gainesville. Dr. J. Hillis Miller, assisted by | Hiatt, unveiled the plaque. } Until 1904, the college at Lake | City was ‘known as the Florida Agricultural College, Sawyer said when he was interviewed. That year the school was, by a legis- lative act, named the “University of Florida.” At that time the pre- sent University site at Gaines- ville was known as the East Flo- tida Seminary. In 1905 another legislative act THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘Tuesday, April 7, 1953 roller skating down the road to She say; moved: the University of Florida to Gainesville where it began op- erating in September of 1906. Dr. J. Hillis Miller, present pre- sident of the Universtiy, was the main speaker at the banquet held in the Melrose Junior High School Cafeteria by the Lake City Alum- hi Association. About 200 guests attended the event. Dr. Miller pointed out the im- portant role played by various schools and colleges such as the first one established at Ocala in 1853, the Florida Agricultural Col- | lege, the South Florida Military Academy at Bartow, and the East Florida Seminary. Among other Dr. Miller called attention to the fact that in the five years that he has been president of the Univer- sity, he had conferred more de- grees than had been given before in the entire history of the insti- tution. The University’s _ enroll- ment for the past few years has been approximately 106,000 stu- dents. When Sawyer was a student at the University in 1904 and 1905, the enrollment was about 200. Dr. Milicr predicted that by 1960 the erroliment will be at least 15,000. Of his trip to the meeting, Saw- yer said, “To be able to meet students you were at school with almost a half century ago was in-| deed a treat.” He also attended on March 19, 20 and 21 the Centennial Celebra- | tion at the University at Gaines- | ville at which one of the big} events was the return of General Van Fleet who was a professor of | Military Science and head football | coach there in 1923 and 1924.

CIO start new talks today, the first in almost three years, aimed at merging their forces into a giant federation to represent more than 12 million workers. The unity talks get under way in an atmosphere hardly encour- aging success. Neither George Meany, president of the AFL, nor Walter P. Reuther, CIO leader, has predicted merger any time soon.

What was it? An internationally known author. ity on formaldehyde, the late James A.
