Butler was born on August 16, 1916, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Butler grew up in Miami, Florida where he spent his teenage years working at The Bath Club, a luxurious country club for Miami's elite. Butler enlisted as a Private in the United States Army at Camp Blanding, Florida in January 1943 at the age of 26. Butler rose through the ranks to Second Lieutenant during basic training at Camp Wallace, Texas; Camp Davis, North Carolina; and Camp Haan, California.\n \nButler arrived in France at Utah Beach on August 28, 1944. After landing in Normandy, he experienced combat in Northern France, Belgium, and Luxembourg during the Battle of the Bulge, and in Germany.  For his service, during the course of the war, he received a bronze star medal and five battle stars: Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, and Central Europe. After the cessation of hostilities in May 1945, Butler's talents and upbringing in the hospitality industry led to being presented with the unique task of operating the Berchtesgaden Hof Hotel in the Bavarian Alps, which he was transferred to in June 1945. The hotel, situated adjacent to Adolf Hitler's personal winter retreat, was built in the 1930s and 1940s by the Nazi Government and was later transformed into a hotel for American Military Officers.\n \nNow promoted to First Lieutenant, Butler spearheaded the effort to prepare for the reception of the general officers in July 1944. It was during this stay that Butler met most of the Army High Command. Butler's masterful ability to provide an excellent stay for the Army Generals awarded him a letter of commendation and a personalized autographed photo from General of the Air Force Henry (Hap) Arnold. At Berchtesgaden, Butler befriended many of the German staff that worked for the hotel under Hitler. Butler was honorably discharged from active duty in the early months of 1946 and then joined the Reserves. He, however, maintained a strong relationship with those he met in Germany and would return annually, and sometimes biannually, with his wife Helen to visit the German Staff at the Berchtesgaden Hof. Butler moved to Tallahassee in 2003 and passed away on May 28, 2007.\n \nJames Bryant Cowart, Sr., brother-in-law to Thomas A. Butler, served in the U.S. Navy in both World War I and World War II. He was born on February 11, 1899 in Pinetta Florida in Madison County, and moved to Miami where he met his wife, Marie Butler, marrying in 1930. They had one child, James Bryant Cowart, Jr. who was born on October 2, 1936. Cowart Sr. served in WWI from September 1917 to January 1923 as a seaman.  He entered the service at 18 years and two months and re-enlisted serving until June 9, 1925. He served on the USS  Southard  on June 10, 1921 as a Coxwain Mate. Later he served on the USS  Rigel  and the USS  Omaha . \n \nDuring Word War II, Cowart, Sr. re-entered the U.S. Navy on October 26, 1942 and served as a Boatswain Mate 2nd class. He served on the USS  Belleau Wood , crossing the equator on September 1, 1943. After discharge, he worked in Miami, FL in a furniture store. He died in 1951 of a heart attack. His wife worked for Eastern Airlines and continued to live in Miami until her death at age 97 in 2011.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection pertains to Thomas A.

The first three series feature personal and office files which show the birth and growth of the organization, sorted at the state and local division levels. The last two series holds audio visual and photographic ephemera as well as scrapbooks created by workers at the society.","To be an orphan in Florida at the turn of the twentieth century was a dangerous prospect. Children were being orphaned due to farm and industrial accidents and numerous poor families had to give up children they could no longer afford. Many children were abused and there were few laws that protected children's rights. Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.","\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.","\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today. Fagg's compassion towards children also did not go unnoticed; from his early years with the CHSFL, many children he helped referred to him as \"Daddy\" Fagg as a token of their appreciation for finding them loving homes.","\nMarcus Fagg brought innovative solutions to a dire financial situation. Using land donated or sold at cost to the society, Fagg either rented or sold land at higher costs to turn a profit. Fagg also helped poor families by renting them homes at drastically reduced rental costs with an option to later buy the homes. Marcus Fagg helped dozens of poor families regain their footing while also helping the CHSFL emerge from a deep hole of financial debt.","\nThough Marcus Fagg began to save the society financially, the society still fell on hard times. The country became entangled in the agony of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the CHSFL suffered with the rest of the nation. The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children. CHSFL also began offering services to unwed mothers, further committing themselves to the family rather than just simply finding homes for children.","\nOne of the saddest moments for the CHSFL was the loss of their mentor and leader, Marcus C. \"Daddy\" Fagg in 1958. After Fagg's passing, newspapers throughout Florida ran headlines announcing the loss of a great state hero. Buried in a simple grave in Jacksonville, Florida, Fagg's life and legacy still serves as a reminder to the CHSFL of their continued effort to help abused and orphaned children in the state of Florida.","\nSegregation and integration played an important role for CHSFL in the 1960s as the society began caring for and adopting out African-American children from their receiving homes. Historically, the society took in mostly white children. As the Civil Rights movement grew in the 1960's, the society re-examined the scope of its adoption policies and began taking in and offering adoption services for the African-American community. This was a significant development both for the society and for the Civil Rights movement; African-American children were being given the same adoption services as white children at a time when the issue of race was dominant in society and politics. As the country rapidly changed, so did the society, offering for the first time services in schools for handicapped, delinquent, and abused children as well children living in racially mixed households. These services would grow and define the society through to the end of the 1990s.","\nJust three years into the new millennium and the society's second century of service, the CHSFL moved its headquarters from its birthplace in Jacksonville to more centrally located offices in Winter Park, Florida. Now over one hundred years old, the CHSFL offers fourteen divisions that serve the entire state of Florida.","Collection processed by Ari Karlene Anderson; finding aid prepared by April Karlene Anderson and Katie Seeler.

Children were being orphaned due to farm and industrial accidents and numerous poor families had to give up children they could no longer afford.

Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today.

The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children.

The first three series feature personal and office files which show the birth and growth of the organization, sorted at the state and local division levels. The last two series holds audio visual and photographic ephemera as well as scrapbooks created by workers at the society.","To be an orphan in Florida at the turn of the twentieth century was a dangerous prospect. Children were being orphaned due to farm and industrial accidents and numerous poor families had to give up children they could no longer afford. Many children were abused and there were few laws that protected children's rights. Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.","\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.","\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today. Fagg's compassion towards children also did not go unnoticed; from his early years with the CHSFL, many children he helped referred to him as \"Daddy\" Fagg as a token of their appreciation for finding them loving homes.","\nMarcus Fagg brought innovative solutions to a dire financial situation. Using land donated or sold at cost to the society, Fagg either rented or sold land at higher costs to turn a profit. Fagg also helped poor families by renting them homes at drastically reduced rental costs with an option to later buy the homes. Marcus Fagg helped dozens of poor families regain their footing while also helping the CHSFL emerge from a deep hole of financial debt.","\nThough Marcus Fagg began to save the society financially, the society still fell on hard times. The country became entangled in the agony of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the CHSFL suffered with the rest of the nation. The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children. CHSFL also began offering services to unwed mothers, further committing themselves to the family rather than just simply finding homes for children.","\nOne of the saddest moments for the CHSFL was the loss of their mentor and leader, Marcus C. \"Daddy\" Fagg in 1958. After Fagg's passing, newspapers throughout Florida ran headlines announcing the loss of a great state hero. Buried in a simple grave in Jacksonville, Florida, Fagg's life and legacy still serves as a reminder to the CHSFL of their continued effort to help abused and orphaned children in the state of Florida.","\nSegregation and integration played an important role for CHSFL in the 1960s as the society began caring for and adopting out African-American children from their receiving homes. Historically, the society took in mostly white children. As the Civil Rights movement grew in the 1960's, the society re-examined the scope of its adoption policies and began taking in and offering adoption services for the African-American community. This was a significant development both for the society and for the Civil Rights movement; African-American children were being given the same adoption services as white children at a time when the issue of race was dominant in society and politics. As the country rapidly changed, so did the society, offering for the first time services in schools for handicapped, delinquent, and abused children as well children living in racially mixed households. These services would grow and define the society through to the end of the 1990s.","\nJust three years into the new millennium and the society's second century of service, the CHSFL moved its headquarters from its birthplace in Jacksonville to more centrally located offices in Winter Park, Florida. Now over one hundred years old, the CHSFL offers fourteen divisions that serve the entire state of Florida.","Collection processed by Ari Karlene Anderson; finding aid prepared by April Karlene Anderson and Katie Seeler. All paper materials have been placed in acid free folders and stored in archival containers. Some larger paper materials, such as maps and large photographs were also placed in acid free folders but are stored in archival flat files. Paper clips have been removed and replaced with plastic clips. In some cases, rusty staples have also been removed. Post-it notes have been moved to the edges of papers and copies have been made of more fragile materials such as news clippings. Photo blocks have been placed in archival trays, stored in separate bins to prevent them from scraping against one another. Any audio or visual media in cases were kept in their containers but placed collectively in archival boxes. Loose pages and items in the scrapbooks have been secured either with plastic clips or placed in archival folders and the entire book has been wrapped in acid free archival paper.

Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today.

The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster.

In most cases, these campuses were small, having an administrative office and a few classrooms. The programs offered by FSC were as follows:  ","\nMacDill Air Force Base, Tampa:  The Florida Southern College of Opportunity began at MacDill AFB in the fall of 1950. Airmen and their dependents were offered seven week courses which awarded three credits each and were primarily held in the evenings.  Classes were taught by FSC professors who commuted to the base from Lakeland.  The program at MacDill lasted until the early 1960s.","\nMcCoy Air Force Base/FSC at Orlando/FSC Orlando-Ocala: For most of its history, this program was located on the west side of what is now the Orlando International Airport.  This was the longest-running series of FSC satellite programs, lasting from 1954 until 2008, and can be best looked at in four phases:\n    ","\tPinecastle Air Force Base: The October 14, 1954 issue of The Southern mentions classes being held here since 1954.  Very little is known about this program, including when it was terminated.  Of special note, Pinecastle AFB was renamed McCoy Air Force base in 1957. ","\n\tFSC at McCoy AFB: The program's official history lists its beginning as September, 1960, however as previously mentioned, classes were held as early as 1954 when the base was still known as Pinecastle.  Classes were held in the base education building, the alert facility, and a building located halfway between the two.  This last building was needed as aircrews serving on alert were required to remain within a certain \"reaction distance\" from their aircraft.  McCoy was a large Strategic Air Command base, and on numerous occasions classes were interrupted by nuclear alert drills.  More than 500 members of the military and civilian employees at McCoy could be taking classes at any one time, and classes met every weekday evening as well as Saturday mornings.  There was also what was known as a \"brown bag\" class, where professors would offer portions of a class during the official base lunch hour. As with the program at MacDill, some of the FSC professors from the main campus commuted to Orlando to teach.  This portion of the program lasted until the Air Force closed the base in 1974.\n ","\tFSC at Orlando/FSC Orlando-Ocala:  When the Air Force closed McCoy, the runways were ceded to the City of Orlando for use in what is now known as Orlando International Airport.  The west side of the base was ceded to the Navy for use as housing and other activities in support of its training center near Winter Park.  In 1974-1975, the college received permission to continue a similar program with the Navy as they had had with the Air Force.  Additionally, classes were opened for non-military affiliated civilians for the first time, assuring the program's continuance regardless of any future base closings. The Orlando program was geared towards working professionals, with majors in Accounting, Business Administration, Nursing, as well as a few social sciences. Students from FSC's main campus in Lakeland could also take courses in Orlando if needed. In the late 1990s/early 2000s, the college left its facilities at the airport and located on Rio Grande Avenue in the Oak Ridge area of Orlando.  In the early 2000s, the Orlando program expanded to include classes in Ocala.  The classes were held at what is now the College for Central Florida-Ocala campus.  As with the main program in Orlando, classes were geared towards working professionals and were primarily held in the evenings.  Classes in Business, Accounting, and Nursing were offered.  The Orlando-Ocala program ended in 2008.   \n ","Palm Beach Air Force Base:  Little is known about this program other than it commenced operations in 1955. The Air Force began operations to close the base starting in 1959, so it is assumed that the program ended around this time.  ","\nPort Charlotte/Charlotte-De Soto:  This program was initially started by West Virginia Wesleyan University in 1980 as an attempt to offer a liberal arts education to senior citizens.  It was known as Wesleyan in Southwest Florida. The director, Dr. Sidney Davis and his wife, Dr. Marian Davis, began classes at the cultural center in Port Charlotte.  In 1983, classes were moved to a facility in Lake Suzy, near Port Charlotte.  In the fall of 1992, the school moved to yet another location in nearby De Soto County.  Thus, the name was changed to the Charlotte-De Soto Program.  For the first five years of operations, the college fell under the administration of West Virginia Wesleyan.  In 1986, Florida Southern College assumed administrative responsibility at the request of the United Methodist Church's University Senate.  The Florida Conference of the UMC felt that since this school was being administered by an out of state Methodist College, it was unfairly competing with both Florida Southern College and Bethune-Cookman College. For the first several years, the college marketed towards retirees, however changing demographics in the Charlotte-De Soto area encouraged the college to open classes to young professionals.  Towards the end of the program, nearly 90% of students fell into this demographic.  The program was phased out in 1999-2000 due to the distance from the main campus in Lakeland with the challenge of maintaining close linkage with full time faculty. This expense, coupled with the need to construct new facilities, as well as new competition with other degree-granting institutions in the area, led Florida Southern to phase-out the program.  No other college wished to take over the program, and it finally ended on December 3, 2000.     ","\nIn addition to these campuses, there exists the relationship between Florida Southern College and the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota. In the late 1920s, Dr. Ludd M. Spivey explored the idea of moving what was then known as Southern College from Lakeland to Sarasota. Spivey had sought the financial support of circus magnate John Ringling, who while reluctant to donate to Southern College, was interested in developing an art school. After much discussion and negotiation, it was agreed that Southern College would open its own art school in Sarasota as a branch. With much reluctance, Ringling agreed that it could be known as the School of Fine and Applied Art of the John and Mable Ringling Art Museum, lending his name and that of his recently departed wife (she had passed away in 1929) to the school, to associate the Florida Southern art school with the more famous name of the Ringlings and their museum.","The first class had only 75 students and 13 faculty members. Each student paid $783 per year for tuition, board, room, fees, and books. Students also attended chapel services every day, and the school's president or dean had to receive written permission if a student wanted to leave town.","The art school separated from Southern College and became an independent nonprofit institution in 1933, changing its name to Ringling School of Art, which still exists today with an enrollment of over 1,000 students--quite a journey from the first class of 75!","The background information and chronology provided is based off of the information in the collections as well as a handful of outside sources, such as The Southern newspaper and the Ringling College of Art and Design.","This collection may include materials that reflect certain cultural attitudes and opinions common during the time of their creation. Florida Southern College, Roux Library, and McKay Archives do not promote the attitudes depicted in these materials, but they are included to document the historical record.","The materials in this collection cover the approximate time period of the satellite programs, 1930-1933 and 1950-2008. While there are a handful of materials from MacDill and Palm Beach Air Force Bases, most of the materials in this collection are from the McCoy AFB-Orlando-Ocala program, the Port Charlotte/Charlotte-De Soto program, and the Ringling College of Art and Design.  Materials include, but are not limited to course bulletins, correspondence, brochures, and news articles.  Of special note is the correspondence in the Port Charlotte program, which includes letters to and from the Program Director(s) and the Board of Directors, as well as the correspondence in the Ringling College program. Additionally, three full years of The Coyote, the official newspaper of the Orlando program in the late 1970s are included.","This collection is owned by Florida Southern College.

The program at MacDill lasted until the early 1960s.","\nMcCoy Air Force Base/FSC at Orlando/FSC Orlando-Ocala: For most of its history, this program was located on the west side of what is now the Orlando International Airport.  This was the longest-running series of FSC satellite programs, lasting from 1954 until 2008, and can be best looked at in four phases:\n    ","\tPinecastle Air Force Base: The October 14, 1954 issue of The Southern mentions classes being held here since 1954.  Very little is known about this program, including when it was terminated.  Of special note, Pinecastle AFB was renamed McCoy Air Force base in 1957. ","\n\tFSC at McCoy AFB: The program's official history lists its beginning as September, 1960, however as previously mentioned, classes were held as early as 1954 when the base was still known as Pinecastle.  Classes were held in the base education building, the alert facility, and a building located halfway between the two.  This last building was needed as aircrews serving on alert were required to remain within a certain \"reaction distance\" from their aircraft.  McCoy was a large Strategic Air Command base, and on numerous occasions classes were interrupted by nuclear alert drills.  More than 500 members of the military and civilian employees at McCoy could be taking classes at any one time, and classes met every weekday evening as well as Saturday mornings.  There was also what was known as a \"brown bag\" class, where professors would offer portions of a class during the official base lunch hour. As with the program at MacDill, some of the FSC professors from the main campus commuted to Orlando to teach.  This portion of the program lasted until the Air Force closed the base in 1974.\n ","\tFSC at Orlando/FSC Orlando-Ocala:  When the Air Force closed McCoy, the runways were ceded to the City of Orlando for use in what is now known as Orlando International Airport.  The west side of the base was ceded to the Navy for use as housing and other activities in support of its training center near Winter Park.  In 1974-1975, the college received permission to continue a similar program with the Navy as they had had with the Air Force.  Additionally, classes were opened for non-military affiliated civilians for the first time, assuring the program's continuance regardless of any future base closings. The Orlando program was geared towards working professionals, with majors in Accounting, Business Administration, Nursing, as well as a few social sciences. Students from FSC's main campus in Lakeland could also take courses in Orlando if needed. In the late 1990s/early 2000s, the college left its facilities at the airport and located on Rio Grande Avenue in the Oak Ridge area of Orlando.  In the early 2000s, the Orlando program expanded to include classes in Ocala.  The classes were held at what is now the College for Central Florida-Ocala campus.  As with the main program in Orlando, classes were geared towards working professionals and were primarily held in the evenings.  Classes in Business, Accounting, and Nursing were offered.  The Orlando-Ocala program ended in 2008.   \n ","Palm Beach Air Force Base:  Little is known about this program other than it commenced operations in 1955. The Air Force began operations to close the base starting in 1959, so it is assumed that the program ended around this time.  ","\nPort Charlotte/Charlotte-De Soto:  This program was initially started by West Virginia Wesleyan University in 1980 as an attempt to offer a liberal arts education to senior citizens.  It was known as Wesleyan in Southwest Florida. The director, Dr. Sidney Davis and his wife, Dr. Marian Davis, began classes at the cultural center in Port Charlotte.  In 1983, classes were moved to a facility in Lake Suzy, near Port Charlotte.  In the fall of 1992, the school moved to yet another location in nearby De Soto County.  Thus, the name was changed to the Charlotte-De Soto Program.  For the first five years of operations, the college fell under the administration of West Virginia Wesleyan.  In 1986, Florida Southern College assumed administrative responsibility at the request of the United Methodist Church's University Senate.  The Florida Conference of the UMC felt that since this school was being administered by an out of state Methodist College, it was unfairly competing with both Florida Southern College and Bethune-Cookman College. For the first several years, the college marketed towards retirees, however changing demographics in the Charlotte-De Soto area encouraged the college to open classes to young professionals.  Towards the end of the program, nearly 90% of students fell into this demographic.  The program was phased out in 1999-2000 due to the distance from the main campus in Lakeland with the challenge of maintaining close linkage with full time faculty. This expense, coupled with the need to construct new facilities, as well as new competition with other degree-granting institutions in the area, led Florida Southern to phase-out the program.  No other college wished to take over the program, and it finally ended on December 3, 2000.     ","\nIn addition to these campuses, there exists the relationship between Florida Southern College and the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota. In the late 1920s, Dr. Ludd M. Spivey explored the idea of moving what was then known as Southern College from Lakeland to Sarasota. Spivey had sought the financial support of circus magnate John Ringling, who while reluctant to donate to Southern College, was interested in developing an art school. After much discussion and negotiation, it was agreed that Southern College would open its own art school in Sarasota as a branch. With much reluctance, Ringling agreed that it could be known as the School of Fine and Applied Art of the John and Mable Ringling Art Museum, lending his name and that of his recently departed wife (she had passed away in 1929) to the school, to associate the Florida Southern art school with the more famous name of the Ringlings and their museum.","The first class had only 75 students and 13 faculty members. Each student paid $783 per year for tuition, board, room, fees, and books. Students also attended chapel services every day, and the school's president or dean had to receive written permission if a student wanted to leave town.","The art school separated from Southern College and became an independent nonprofit institution in 1933, changing its name to Ringling School of Art, which still exists today with an enrollment of over 1,000 students--quite a journey from the first class of 75!"],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe background information and chronology provided is based off of the information in the collections as well as a handful of outside sources, such as The Southern newspaper and the Ringling College of Art and Design.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis collection may include materials that reflect certain cultural attitudes and opinions common during the time of their creation.
