Continuing with his church duties, he entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kentucky before returning to Jackson to serve as the college coordinator for the Forty-fourth College Training Detachment USAAF (Army Air Corps) from 1943-1945. He married Frances Hilliard of Jackson, Tennessee on May 15, 1945. The following year, he received his M.A. in Economics from George Peabody College and became Acting Head of the Commerce Department at Union University. The Millicans moved to Florida in 1948 where Millican studied for his Ph.D. in Business Finance and Economics. At the University of Florida, he worked as a teaching assistant, instructor and finally as Assistant Professor. Although he was appointed Assistant Dean of the College of Business Administration in 1956, he moved almost immediately to Texas where he became Dean and Professor of the School of Business Administration at Hardin-Simmons University. In 1959, he returned to Florida to become Dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of South Florida.","When Dr. Millican was appointed President of the new university in 1965, the university had no name, no buildings, no faculty and no students; he had to create the university over which he would preside. After Millican's appointment, he hired staff, found premises, and began the slow process of creating his university. He established the twin tenets of \"Accent on the Individual\" and \"Accent on Excellence,\" which continue to guide the University, and the motto, \"Reach for the Stars\". Although he retired as President in 1978, Millican returned to teaching finance as a professor in the College of Business at the University of Central Florida, as it was now known, and earned the title President Emeritus. In addition to his career in higher education, Charles Millican has worked as a consultant to business firms and Florida counties on economic growth and financial management and as a church pastor/pulpit supply minister. He chaired the Orange County Community Referendum Committee, which passed the resort tax that built the Orange County Convention Center. He has received Distinguished Alumnus awards from both the University of Florida and Union University, and he received honorary LL.D. degrees from Rollins College and UCF.","Collection organized by Angie Villafane and Nardia Cumberbatch in 2013.

Nehrling (1853-1929), a native of Wisconsin, whose interest in birds and natural history led him to become known as \"the Audubon of Wisconsin.\" It was his interest in exotic flora; however, that brought him to Florida, first of all for part-time experiments, and later as a full time resident. In the 1880s, Nehrling purchased acreage near the village of Gotha, in Central Florida, and began experimenting with tropical and subtropical plants. A few years later, in 1904, having vacated his position as director of the Public Museum of Milwaukee, Nehrling moved permanently to Florida. His garden there became a popular destination for many of Florida's early visitors and settlers. Soon Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and David Fairchild, among others, had all found their way to Nehrling's Palm Cottage Gardens. The garden became Florida's first experimental botanical garden, where Dr. Nehrling tested over 3,000 new and rare plants for the United States Department of Agriculture. Of these, 3,000 new plants were introduced into Florida's landscape, including caladiums, hybrid amaryllis, and gloriosa lilies. These plants became the foundation to Florida's thriving nursery industry.\nFollowing the death of his first wife, Sophia, in 1911, Nehrling met Betty Pooler Mitchell during a visit to the small, mostly German-speaking village of DeKalb, in northwestern New York. The two were married in the town on June 7, 1916. Unfortunately for the newlyweds, the Florida winter of 1916-17 was one of the worst on record. Some locations in Florida recorded more than two weeks of temperatures below freezing and and as low as 16 degrees for a sustained period. The results at Palm Cottage Gardens were devastating.","\nDuring the next few years of rebuilding, Nehrling evidently incurred substantial debts. It was also during this period that he began submitting articles to The American Eagle, the newspaper of a communal colony near Fort Myers. The community itself was founded by a man as Cyrus Teed (1839-1908) who took the name \"Koresh\" in 1869. Sometime in that year, Teed believed he had been visited by a divine spirit who told him that he was the messiah. In his new incarnation, developed a variety of offbeat religious and scientific ideas that he called Koreshanity. Among the other things, he denounced the idea that the Earth revolved around the sun, and later on the beaches of West Florida, made measurements and calculations that \"proved\" his theory that human beings live on the inside of our planet, not the outside. Along with that theory - called Cellular Cosmogony - Koreshanity preached alchemy, reincarnation, immortality, celibacy, communism and a few other radical ideas. At its peak, 1905-1908, his community of followers at Estero numbered about 250. One of the interests of the Koreshan Community was in plants and horticulture. The colony's newspaper, The American Eagle, began publishing extensively in the field of tropical plants and gardenning, and Henry Nehrling became a regular contributor throughout the 1920s.","\nDue to financial problems, Henry Nehrling returned to Gotha where he died on November 22, 1929 and was buried in Woodlawn cemetary near Gotha. His garden in Naples was preserved as the Jungle Larry's Caribbean Gardens and some efforts have been made to preserve his Palm Cottage Gardens in Gotha.\nNehrling always wrote about his interests; he wrote articles on birds for the Nuttall Ornithological Club in Texas. In 1922, he began writing columns for The American Eagle, a weekly newspaper published in Estero, Florida. His first book Orchids in South Florida was published in 1890 and was followed a year later by Die Nordamerikanische Vogelwelt (North American Bird Life). Two volumes of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty were published in 1893 and 1896 respectively.

With his financial condition deteriorating, Nehrling decided to extend his time in South Florida. It is during this period of time, 1923-1929, that the bulk of the correspondence takes place. Seventeen of the letters are in Henry Nehrling's hand. They offer his wife an ever-hopeful view of his endeavors. Often addressing her as \"my dearest sweetheart,\" or its German equivalent. Henry Nehrling mentions that he has recently planted 50,000 caladiums, or that he had received an order for caladiums from Kenya. Collection also contains a few letters mention about visits from the Edisons, Colliers, or David Fairchild. Meanwhile, the letters from Betty plead for funds and make mention of problems in paying creditors. Other correspondence tells a similar tale. Clayton C. Townes, a mayor of Cleveland, Ohio and a financial backer of the gardens, writes to Betty Nehrling that when he visited Henry near Naples, he found him living in conditions \"not fit for a human being.\" A bank statement from June of 1928 included in the collection shows a balance of just 4 cents.","\nOther highlights in the collection include a portrait of Henry Nehrling (1915), a photograph labeled \"Dr. Nehrling at Naples after 10 weeks of typhoid and pneumonia\", a self-portrait of Betty Pooler Mitchell (Undated) mounted on board, and two copies of a group photograph taken in Miami of John Kunkel Small, H. H. Hume, Henry Nehrling, David Fairchild, and Theodore L. Mead, at the time Nehrling was presented with the Frank N. Meyer Medal for Plant Genetic Resources.

Coincidentally, David Fairchild visited Nehrling in late March of 1917. At least ten of the photographs here were taken by Fairchild and bear typewritten descriptions of what he saw during his visit to the Gardens that winter.\nThe importance of this particular collection is that it provides insight into the familial and financial affairs of the Nehrling Gardens.

In the 1880s, Nehrling purchased acreage near the village of Gotha, in Central Florida, and began experimenting with tropical and subtropical plants. A few years later, in 1904, having vacated his position as director of the Public Museum of Milwaukee, Nehrling moved permanently to Florida. His garden there became a popular destination for many of Florida's early visitors and settlers. Soon Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and David Fairchild, among others, had all found their way to Nehrling's Palm Cottage Gardens. The garden became Florida's first experimental botanical garden, where Dr. Nehrling tested over 3,000 new and rare plants for the United States Department of Agriculture. Of these, 3,000 new plants were introduced into Florida's landscape, including caladiums, hybrid amaryllis, and gloriosa lilies. These plants became the foundation to Florida's thriving nursery industry.\nFollowing the death of his first wife, Sophia, in 1911, Nehrling met Betty Pooler Mitchell during a visit to the small, mostly German-speaking village of DeKalb, in northwestern New York. The two were married in the town on June 7, 1916. Unfortunately for the newlyweds, the Florida winter of 1916-17 was one of the worst on record.

Sometime in that year, Teed believed he had been visited by a divine spirit who told him that he was the messiah. In his new incarnation, developed a variety of offbeat religious and scientific ideas that he called Koreshanity.

Along with that theory - called Cellular Cosmogony - Koreshanity preached alchemy, reincarnation, immortality, celibacy, communism and a few other radical ideas. At its peak, 1905-1908, his community of followers at Estero numbered about 250. One of the interests of the Koreshan Community was in plants and horticulture.

Nehrling (1853-1929), a native of Wisconsin, whose interest in birds and natural history led him to become known as \"the Audubon of Wisconsin.\" It was his interest in exotic flora; however, that brought him to Florida, first of all for part-time experiments, and later as a full time resident. In the 1880s, Nehrling purchased acreage near the village of Gotha, in Central Florida, and began experimenting with tropical and subtropical plants. A few years later, in 1904, having vacated his position as director of the Public Museum of Milwaukee, Nehrling moved permanently to Florida. His garden there became a popular destination for many of Florida's early visitors and settlers. Soon Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and David Fairchild, among others, had all found their way to Nehrling's Palm Cottage Gardens. The garden became Florida's first experimental botanical garden, where Dr. Nehrling tested over 3,000 new and rare plants for the United States Department of Agriculture. Of these, 3,000 new plants were introduced into Florida's landscape, including caladiums, hybrid amaryllis, and gloriosa lilies. These plants became the foundation to Florida's thriving nursery industry.\nFollowing the death of his first wife, Sophia, in 1911, Nehrling met Betty Pooler Mitchell during a visit to the small, mostly German-speaking village of DeKalb, in northwestern New York. The two were married in the town on June 7, 1916. Unfortunately for the newlyweds, the Florida winter of 1916-17 was one of the worst on record. Some locations in Florida recorded more than two weeks of temperatures below freezing and and as low as 16 degrees for a sustained period. The results at Palm Cottage Gardens were devastating.","\nDuring the next few years of rebuilding, Nehrling evidently incurred substantial debts. It was also during this period that he began submitting articles to The American Eagle, the newspaper of a communal colony near Fort Myers. The community itself was founded by a man as Cyrus Teed (1839-1908) who took the name \"Koresh\" in 1869. Sometime in that year, Teed believed he had been visited by a divine spirit who told him that he was the messiah. In his new incarnation, developed a variety of offbeat religious and scientific ideas that he called Koreshanity. Among the other things, he denounced the idea that the Earth revolved around the sun, and later on the beaches of West Florida, made measurements and calculations that \"proved\" his theory that human beings live on the inside of our planet, not the outside. Along with that theory - called Cellular Cosmogony - Koreshanity preached alchemy, reincarnation, immortality, celibacy, communism and a few other radical ideas. At its peak, 1905-1908, his community of followers at Estero numbered about 250. One of the interests of the Koreshan Community was in plants and horticulture. The colony's newspaper, The American Eagle, began publishing extensively in the field of tropical plants and gardenning, and Henry Nehrling became a regular contributor throughout the 1920s.","\nDue to financial problems, Henry Nehrling returned to Gotha where he died on November 22, 1929 and was buried in Woodlawn cemetary near Gotha. His garden in Naples was preserved as the Jungle Larry's Caribbean Gardens and some efforts have been made to preserve his Palm Cottage Gardens in Gotha.\nNehrling always wrote about his interests; he wrote articles on birds for the Nuttall Ornithological Club in Texas. In 1922, he began writing columns for The American Eagle, a weekly newspaper published in Estero, Florida. His first book Orchids in South Florida was published in 1890 and was followed a year later by Die Nordamerikanische Vogelwelt (North American Bird Life). Two volumes of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty were published in 1893 and 1896 respectively. His next work, Die Amaryllis oder Rittersterne (Hippeastrum) (The Amaryllis), was published in 1908.","Collection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.","Materials were arranged in chronological order and then placed in pH neutral folders and boxes.

With his financial condition deteriorating, Nehrling decided to extend his time in South Florida. It is during this period of time, 1923-1929, that the bulk of the correspondence takes place. Seventeen of the letters are in Henry Nehrling's hand. They offer his wife an ever-hopeful view of his endeavors. Often addressing her as \"my dearest sweetheart,\" or its German equivalent. Henry Nehrling mentions that he has recently planted 50,000 caladiums, or that he had received an order for caladiums from Kenya. Collection also contains a few letters mention about visits from the Edisons, Colliers, or David Fairchild. Meanwhile, the letters from Betty plead for funds and make mention of problems in paying creditors. Other correspondence tells a similar tale. Clayton C. Townes, a mayor of Cleveland, Ohio and a financial backer of the gardens, writes to Betty Nehrling that when he visited Henry near Naples, he found him living in conditions \"not fit for a human being.\" A bank statement from June of 1928 included in the collection shows a balance of just 4 cents.","\nOther highlights in the collection include a portrait of Henry Nehrling (1915), a photograph labeled \"Dr. Nehrling at Naples after 10 weeks of typhoid and pneumonia\", a self-portrait of Betty Pooler Mitchell (Undated) mounted on board, and two copies of a group photograph taken in Miami of John Kunkel Small, H. H. Hume, Henry Nehrling, David Fairchild, and Theodore L. Mead, at the time Nehrling was presented with the Frank N. Meyer Medal for Plant Genetic Resources. A twenty-three pages of a photograph album called My Memory Book contains photographs, newsclippings, and three leaves from the guest book belonging to \"Mrs. H. Nehrling / Palm Cottage Gardens\" (1925- ca. 1934). Number of the photographs in this album also record the freeze damage in 1916-17. Coincidentally, David Fairchild visited Nehrling in late March of 1917. At least ten of the photographs here were taken by Fairchild and bear typewritten descriptions of what he saw during his visit to the Gardens that winter.\nThe importance of this particular collection is that it provides insight into the familial and financial affairs of the Nehrling Gardens. It also offers a look at Henry Nehrling during the tumultuous years of Florida's boom and bust, and a glimpse of his failing physical and mental state while he sought refuge in a quiet communal colony in Southwest Florida.","\nThese papers are divided into four series by type of document:","\nSeries I: Writings, 1914-1929, consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence between Henry Nehrling and and his second wife Betty Pooler Mitchell Nehrling.

With his financial condition deteriorating, Nehrling decided to extend his time in South Florida. It is during this period of time, 1923-1929, that the bulk of the correspondence takes place. Seventeen of the letters are in Henry Nehrling's hand. They offer his wife an ever-hopeful view of his endeavors. Often addressing her as \"my dearest sweetheart,\" or its German equivalent. Henry Nehrling mentions that he has recently planted 50,000 caladiums, or that he had received an order for caladiums from Kenya. Collection also contains a few letters mention about visits from the Edisons, Colliers, or David Fairchild. Meanwhile, the letters from Betty plead for funds and make mention of problems in paying creditors. Other correspondence tells a similar tale. Clayton C. Townes, a mayor of Cleveland, Ohio and a financial backer of the gardens, writes to Betty Nehrling that when he visited Henry near Naples, he found him living in conditions \"not fit for a human being.\" A bank statement from June of 1928 included in the collection shows a balance of just 4 cents.","\nOther highlights in the collection include a portrait of Henry Nehrling (1915), a photograph labeled \"Dr. Nehrling at Naples after 10 weeks of typhoid and pneumonia\", a self-portrait of Betty Pooler Mitchell (Undated) mounted on board, and two copies of a group photograph taken in Miami of John Kunkel Small, H. H. Hume, Henry Nehrling, David Fairchild, and Theodore L. Mead, at the time Nehrling was presented with the Frank N. Meyer Medal for Plant Genetic Resources. A twenty-three pages of a photograph album called My Memory Book contains photographs, newsclippings, and three leaves from the guest book belonging to \"Mrs. H. Nehrling / Palm Cottage Gardens\" (1925- ca. 1934). Number of the photographs in this album also record the freeze damage in 1916-17. Coincidentally, David Fairchild visited Nehrling in late March of 1917. At least ten of the photographs here were taken by Fairchild and bear typewritten descriptions of what he saw during his visit to the Gardens that winter.\nThe importance of this particular collection is that it provides insight into the familial and financial affairs of the Nehrling Gardens. It also offers a look at Henry Nehrling during the tumultuous years of Florida's boom and bust, and a glimpse of his failing physical and mental state while he sought refuge in a quiet communal colony in Southwest Florida.","\nThese papers are divided into four series by type of document:","\nSeries I: Writings, 1914-1929, consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence between Henry Nehrling and and his second wife Betty Pooler Mitchell Nehrling. Series also includes letters between individuals other than Nerhling, which were collected by Nehrling family.","\nSeries II: Business and Personal Documents, 1913-1932, consists of financial affairs of the Nehrling gardens in Gotha, Florida. Series holds correspondence and financial papers such as insurance bills, tax receipts, bank checks, and a lease agreement.","\nSeries III: Photographs, 1907-1934, Twenty-three pages of a photograph album called My Memory Book contains photographs, newsclippings, and three leaves from a guest book at Palm Cottage Gardens.

Katims donated more than 345 books, 337 periodical issues, and 304 artifacts to FAU Special Collections upon the death of his wife, Arlyn Austin Katims. Included among these items are documents, a tintype of a Union soldier, hand-colored illustrations from contemporaneous journals, and soldiers' accessories – a musket belt, veterans' cane and medic's cap.","Arlyn Austin Katims, Civil War enthusiast, lecturer and re-enactor, was president of the South Florida Civil War Roundtable, and director of the Lincoln Society of South Florida. She was also involved with several national organizations dedicated to battlefield and historical artifact preservation, including the Civil War Society and the Blue and Gray Society. Mrs. Katims was an important contributor in the field of learning disabilities, and helped found the Early Childhood Development Center of the Department of Pediatrics at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Deeply patriotic, her primary interest was Abraham Lincoln who exemplified \"integrity … the rise from humble beginnings and adversity, the ability to overcome not only family tragedies … and he was able to preserve the Union.\""],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMaterials in the collections are to be used for private study, scholarship, or research in accord with the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code).
