The original letter from the student to Dodd, March 31, 1940, is in an earlier accession, MSS 1-07, Box 143, Folder 1. In addition, there are speeches and speech materials from talks Dodd gave at the Phi Beta Kappa dinner on \"The Humanities and Intellectual Freedom\" and a lecture he gave at the Mortar Board dinner on \"Leaders and Leadership\"","William George Dodd was born in Waynesville, Ohio, on April 9, 1874. He received his A.B. degree from Bethany College in 1893. Harvard University awarded him an A.M. degree in 1908 and a Ph.D. in English Literature in 1911. In 1910, he was appointed a professor of English at Florida State College for Women (FSCW) in Tallahassee, Florida, teaching classes mainly in Chaucer and Shakespeare. In 1913, he was appointed Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. During World War I, when the faculty presented a special program devoted to helping students understand the war, Dr. Dodd spoke about the connection between German literature and the War. \nDr. Dodd was considered a favorite of students, serving as their confidante as well as an inspiring teacher. He was an accomplished musician who played the piano for chapel and the local Rotary Club, an organist at the First Baptist Church in Tallahassee, and often participated in student theatricals. \nBy the mid-1930s, there was nationwide dissatisfaction with college and university curricula. During that time, FSCW was criticized for \"not fitting students for life.\" As a result, Dr. Dodd modified the college's liberal arts agenda. Under his direction, the College of Arts and Sciences became one of the first colleges in the United States to offer majors in the fields of art and speech. \nDescribed by his colleagues at FSCW as \"Prime Minister of the Deans,\" Dr. Dodd played a leading role in maintaining the school's academic direction. \nDr. Dodd's efforts resulted in the creation of a program of \"integrated courses,\" four general courses that taught the significance of a large field of knowledge rather than specific techniques. Beginning in the fall of 1936, all freshmen and sophomores (except those who passed exemption examinations) took a five-hour course in biological science, physical science, humanities, or social studies as part of their program each semester. \nIn addition to these academic accomplishments, Dr. Dodd composed the music and words for a new \"College Song\" which the Florida State College for Women adopted as its Alma Mater. He also wrote books on the history of education in Tallahassee, including Florida State College for Women: Notes of the formative years; West Florida Seminary, 1857-1901; and Florida State College, 1901-1905. \nCiting ill health in 1938, at the age of 64, Dr. Dodd asked President Edward Conradi to relieve him of some of his numerous campus duties. President Conradi appointed Dr. Guy Diffenbaugh as Assistant Dean of Arts and Sciences, but Dr. Dodd continued to supervise the daily liberal arts life of the college until his retirement on July 1, 1944. Dr. Diffenbaugh replaced him as Arts and Sciences Dean. \nIn 1961, the building built in the 1920s as the Florida State College for Women Library was renamed Dodd Hall in recognition of his service to education. Dr. Dodd died February 25, 1963.","Portions of collection available online?: No","The MSS2004006 accession was processed in Spring 2004.

Criste, born on April 19, 1917, Harrisburg, PA, entered service in the U.S. Navy on February 13, 1943. Criste served in the US Navy during the Battle of Iwo Jima as an Electrician's Mate First Class with Group Pacific 11 (GROPAC 11),  Section E-9.  He arrived with his unit from Hawaii aboard the U.S.S. Whiteside (AKA-90.)  He witnessed and documented in a journal the initial invasion of Iwo Jima on February 19, 1945.  Criste, along with his unit, assisted in building the U.S. Naval Base on Iwo Jima.  While stationed on Iwo Jima for 9 months, Criste had the opportunity to accumulate Japanese military artifacts. Criste departed Iwo Jima on November 2, 1945 aboard U.S.S LSM-97 and transferred to the Heavy Cruiser U.S.S. Chester which arrived in San Francisco on November 17, 1945 with a stop at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.  Criste was subsequently discharged on December 7, 1945.

Criste also served as a Crime Watch captain in the Mount Vernon, FL area for many years.  In 2003, Criste was entered into the World War II Registry of Remembrances.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Dorothy."," A GROPAC was a U.S. Naval organization designed to install and operate harbor and waterfront facilities and to provide certain harbor defenses for an advanced base. It normally provides for: the unloading of ships; installation and maintenance of navigational aids, piers, moorings, net defenses and underwater sound detection; the repair of small craft and harbor equipment; the operation of a harbor defense patrol; and the provision of a boat pool for use within the harbor. It provides, also, for its own administrative, communications, medical, and housing needs.  GROPACS vary materially from each other in size and composition since each is individually designed to meet the needs of a particular island or area. He passed away February 16th, 2004 at the age of 86.","Note written by Michael Kasper"],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eTransferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026amp; Archives in July 2022.\u003c/p\u003e"],"custodhist_heading_ssm":["Custodial History"],"custodhist_tesim":["Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Title of Item], [Date of Item], [Box and Folder number], William I.
