Baird, Jr. was a Merchant Marine Purser during World War II. While serving, Baird also served as the pharmacist aboard the SS William Bradford. After leaving his pregnant wife in Tennessee, Baird traveled across the ocean through the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and into the Persian Gulf. The SS William Bradford also took Baird into the Indian Ocean, about the coast of Africa, back towards South America, and then returned home to New York. In his letters, Baird speaks mostly of the weather; he is very vague about the actual War. He does speak in detail about the blackout regulations and the safety aboard the ship. For his services, Baird was rewarded multiple medals including: The Atlantic War Zone, The World War II, and the Mediterranean-Middle East War Zone. 50 years after the war, Baird received an award from Russia for his services in the Great Patriot War. Baird spoke at many memorials and documented many of his experiences as a Merchant Marine in articles on the War. Baird is still alive.","Note written by Hannah Shapiro","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection contains papers pertaining to Ensign Dae D. Baird, Jr. and his experiences as a Merchant Marine during World War II.The papers include photographs, letters, speeches, biographical articles, and military documents.","The Dae D. Baird, Jr. collection pertains to the service of Ensign Dae D. Baird, Jr. in the United States Merchant Marines from June 1943 until 1946, as a Purser. Consisting of copies of photographs, records of medals, and articles on the Merchant Marine and Mr. Baird's experiences during World War II, the collection provides insight into the experiences of a Merchant Mariner. In his brief account on the war, \"Unusual and Rare World War II Experiences,\" Mr. Baird describes his experiences aboard the SS William Bradford as it carried ammunition and airplane engines to Russia via the Trans-Iranian Railroad. Having traveled across the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and down the coast of Africa to Capetown, the account details the dangers onboard Merchant ships, including the need for blackouts and the use of barrage balloons. Other details discussed include Italian fleets using firewood as fuel, the emergence of the Black Plague in the city of Suez, sightings of whales and albatrosses, the conversion of ships into hospital ships, and initiations for crossing the Equator. The collection includes a photograph of three medals: the Atlantic War Zone, the Mediterranean-Middle East War Zone, and the World War II. Documentation for a medal from the Russian government shows the medal, a certificate, and a letter about the medal. The medal commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriot War and is for Mr. Baird's brave service. The accompanying certificate is signed by Boris Yeltsin, the Russian president at the time. Also included are copies of his Honorable Discharge certificate from the United States Coast Guard, dated August 6, 1945, and his World War II Honoree certificate. Copies of photographs show Mr. Baird in his uniform, during the war, and one at his ninetieth birthday. \nThere are two brief articles on the Merchant Marine written by Mr. Baird. The article, \"World War II, Merchant Marine Review,\" discusses the high casualty rate and involvement in the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, Southern France, Normandy, Iwo Jima, and Guadalcanal. The Merchant Seamen continued to be under attack by Japanese forces following \"Victory over Japan Day.\" The article includes quotes from General Douglas MacArthur and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The quotes exhibit the high esteem in which the two men held the Merchant Mariners for their service in \"every theater of operation\" while performing such a dangerous job for the Allies. The other article, \"More Information about the Merchant Marine,\" is about the recognition deserved by Merchant Seamen and how it took forty years for the United States government to honor their war service and grant them Veteran Status. The article also discusses the Veteran's Memorial Service and their goal to inform people on the achievements of the Merchant Mariners as the number of those who served in World War II diminishes. \nThe following letters were written by Dae D. Baird, Jr. during his voyage from May to November of 1944 on the SS William Bradford, a Liberty Ship. Baird served as a Purser in the Merchant Marine. His duties, while focusing primarily on various paperwork including port entry procedures and the ship's payroll, also included the duties of the Pharmicist's Mate, treating minor troubles for the crew such as cuts, fevers, seasickness, and constipation. As Purser, he interacted with a large percentage of the somewhat diverse Merchant Marine and U.S. Navy Armed Guard crew and remarked on his opinions of the different \ncharacters on board. The letters were written to his wife, Evelyn E. Baird, back home in Memphis, Tennessee. At the start of his voyage in May, Evelyn was pregnant with their son, and gave birth to him later during Dae Baird's voyage. For about a month Baird did not know any details of the birth, although he attempted to get information via a cablegram from the Red Cross. \nThe SS William Bradford sailed from Norfolk, Virginia in an initial convoy of 131 ships, including 97 freighters and tankers, 25 Landing Craft, and their escort of 3 Destroyers and 6 Destroyer Escorts. The ship's cargo consisted of ammunition and crated airplane engines to be unloaded at Bandar Shahpur in Iran. From there the cargo would be shipped to the U.S.S.R. via the Trans-Iranian railroad. Parts of the convoy the William Bradford sailed in left for various destinations, a large portion departing to Sicily and Italy, and other ships in a later convoy peeled off towards India. \nFrom Norfolk, the convoy sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, through the Straights of Gibraltar and across the North African Coast, passing locations such as Oran, Tunis, Algiers, Bizerte, Malta, Cyrenica, Derma, Tobruk, and Alexandria, before stopping at Port Said at the entrance of the Suez Canal. Stopping again briefly at Suez before entering the Red Sea, the crew were not allowed shore leave on account of the Black Plague. The SS William Bradford sailed out of convoy in the Red Sea and halted at the port of Aden, where they were given only limited shore leave and were not allowed to swim due to the danger of sharks. Here they rejoined a convoy in the Arabian Sea, continuing through the Gulf of Oman to Bandar Shahpur in the Persian Gulf. \nThe weather here was extremely hot, and apparently Bandar Shahpur was considered one of the hottest places in the world. Baird was compelled to sleep on deck instead of his quarters, which were poorly ventilated due to blackout restrictions. Their ship almost ran aground in shallow water while trying to find the entrance to the port. Their cargo, unloaded by natives under U.S. Army supervision, took almost three weeks to unload, and the only source of entertainment for Baird was in the U.S. Army garrison located there. Their cargo finally unloaded, the ship stopped briefly at Bahrein Island to refuel, and then left the Persian Gulf, entering the Indian Ocean. Rounding Africa, they passed by Madagascar and eventually stopped at Durban, South Africa, and again at Capetown, South Africa for 16 days to repair their refrigeration unit. Baird was able to go ashore and see the sights in both Durban and South Africa. \nThe SS William Bradford then crossed the South Atlantic, stopping at Buenos Aires, Argentina to pick up a cargo of shelled corn. The ship then traveled north, stopping at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Port of Spain, Trinidad. At Trinidad, Baird had to sign off and pay off an injured crew member, leaving him stranded to get back home by himself. From Trinidad, the ship traversed the Caribbean Sea out of convoy through the Windward Passage between Haiti and Cuba, traveled up the Eastern Coast starting at Florida, and finally returned to New York. \nDuring his voyage, Baird frequently writes about the weather, which for most of the voyage was relatively fair, with the exception of the extreme heat in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Indian Oceans, and summer monsoons encountered in those areas. After fair weather, Baird had to catch up since it was too difficult to use a typewriter with the ship rolling in bad weather. Other than his \nPurser duties, Baird and other crew members did many things to pass the time. Baird began reading his first book, \"Men of Albermarle\", and other crew members frequently read books and magazines. The crew played games, and gambled with various games such as dice and card games like four-headed cribbage. They listened to the radio for programs from Allied Expeditionary Stations (AES) such as programs with singer Guy Lombardo, as well as news from the BBC and other broadcast sources. During their voyage the crew heard about the Fall of Rome, the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, the July assassination attempt on Hitler, and other historic events. In some ports, Baird and others were able to see movies, such as \"Wild West\", \"Bomber's Moon\", \"True to Life\", \"Swing Fever\", and \"White Savage.\" Also of note is an initiation for crew members passing south of the Equator which Baird participated in, and a V-lock style haircut that was popular among the crew. \nAlthough Baird wrote many letters to his wife, he was only able to mail three of them during his voyage. Few of the ports he stopped at had reliable mail service, and letters to and from his wife took a long time to be delivered. However, these letters survive as Baird's account of his voyage and his proof of his devotion to his wife during that time in 1944.

Baird, Jr. collection pertains to the service of Ensign Dae D. Baird, Jr. in the United States Merchant Marines from June 1943 until 1946, as a Purser. Consisting of copies of photographs, records of medals, and articles on the Merchant Marine and Mr. Baird's experiences during World War II, the collection provides insight into the experiences of a Merchant Mariner. In his brief account on the war, \"Unusual and Rare World War II Experiences,\" Mr. Baird describes his experiences aboard the SS William Bradford as it carried ammunition and airplane engines to Russia via the Trans-Iranian Railroad. Having traveled across the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and down the coast of Africa to Capetown, the account details the dangers onboard Merchant ships, including the need for blackouts and the use of barrage balloons. Other details discussed include Italian fleets using firewood as fuel, the emergence of the Black Plague in the city of Suez, sightings of whales and albatrosses, the conversion of ships into hospital ships, and initiations for crossing the Equator. The collection includes a photograph of three medals: the Atlantic War Zone, the Mediterranean-Middle East War Zone, and the World War II. Documentation for a medal from the Russian government shows the medal, a certificate, and a letter about the medal. The medal commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriot War and is for Mr. Baird's brave service. The accompanying certificate is signed by Boris Yeltsin, the Russian president at the time. Also included are copies of his Honorable Discharge certificate from the United States Coast Guard, dated August 6, 1945, and his World War II Honoree certificate. Copies of photographs show Mr. Baird in his uniform, during the war, and one at his ninetieth birthday. \nThere are two brief articles on the Merchant Marine written by Mr. Baird. The article, \"World War II, Merchant Marine Review,\" discusses the high casualty rate and involvement in the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, Southern France, Normandy, Iwo Jima, and Guadalcanal. The Merchant Seamen continued to be under attack by Japanese forces following \"Victory over Japan Day.\" The article includes quotes from General Douglas MacArthur and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The quotes exhibit the high esteem in which the two men held the Merchant Mariners for their service in \"every theater of operation\" while performing such a dangerous job for the Allies. The other article, \"More Information about the Merchant Marine,\" is about the recognition deserved by Merchant Seamen and how it took forty years for the United States government to honor their war service and grant them Veteran Status. The article also discusses the Veteran's Memorial Service and their goal to inform people on the achievements of the Merchant Mariners as the number of those who served in World War II diminishes. \nThe following letters were written by Dae D. Baird, Jr. during his voyage from May to November of 1944 on the SS William Bradford, a Liberty Ship. Baird served as a Purser in the Merchant Marine. His duties, while focusing primarily on various paperwork including port entry procedures and the ship's payroll, also included the duties of the Pharmicist's Mate, treating minor troubles for the crew such as cuts, fevers, seasickness, and constipation. As Purser, he interacted with a large percentage of the somewhat diverse Merchant Marine and U.S. Navy Armed Guard crew and remarked on his opinions of the different \ncharacters on board. The letters were written to his wife, Evelyn E. Baird, back home in Memphis, Tennessee. At the start of his voyage in May, Evelyn was pregnant with their son, and gave birth to him later during Dae Baird's voyage. For about a month Baird did not know any details of the birth, although he attempted to get information via a cablegram from the Red Cross. \nThe SS William Bradford sailed from Norfolk, Virginia in an initial convoy of 131 ships, including 97 freighters and tankers, 25 Landing Craft, and their escort of 3 Destroyers and 6 Destroyer Escorts. The ship's cargo consisted of ammunition and crated airplane engines to be unloaded at Bandar Shahpur in Iran. From there the cargo would be shipped to the U.S.S.R. via the Trans-Iranian railroad. Parts of the convoy the William Bradford sailed in left for various destinations, a large portion departing to Sicily and Italy, and other ships in a later convoy peeled off towards India. \nFrom Norfolk, the convoy sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, through the Straights of Gibraltar and across the North African Coast, passing locations such as Oran, Tunis, Algiers, Bizerte, Malta, Cyrenica, Derma, Tobruk, and Alexandria, before stopping at Port Said at the entrance of the Suez Canal. Stopping again briefly at Suez before entering the Red Sea, the crew were not allowed shore leave on account of the Black Plague. The SS William Bradford sailed out of convoy in the Red Sea and halted at the port of Aden, where they were given only limited shore leave and were not allowed to swim due to the danger of sharks. Here they rejoined a convoy in the Arabian Sea, continuing through the Gulf of Oman to Bandar Shahpur in the Persian Gulf. \nThe weather here was extremely hot, and apparently Bandar Shahpur was considered one of the hottest places in the world. Baird was compelled to sleep on deck instead of his quarters, which were poorly ventilated due to blackout restrictions. Their ship almost ran aground in shallow water while trying to find the entrance to the port. Their cargo, unloaded by natives under U.S. Army supervision, took almost three weeks to unload, and the only source of entertainment for Baird was in the U.S. Army garrison located there. Their cargo finally unloaded, the ship stopped briefly at Bahrein Island to refuel, and then left the Persian Gulf, entering the Indian Ocean. Rounding Africa, they passed by Madagascar and eventually stopped at Durban, South Africa, and again at Capetown, South Africa for 16 days to repair their refrigeration unit. Baird was able to go ashore and see the sights in both Durban and South Africa. \nThe SS William Bradford then crossed the South Atlantic, stopping at Buenos Aires, Argentina to pick up a cargo of shelled corn. The ship then traveled north, stopping at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Port of Spain, Trinidad. At Trinidad, Baird had to sign off and pay off an injured crew member, leaving him stranded to get back home by himself. From Trinidad, the ship traversed the Caribbean Sea out of convoy through the Windward Passage between Haiti and Cuba, traveled up the Eastern Coast starting at Florida, and finally returned to New York. \nDuring his voyage, Baird frequently writes about the weather, which for most of the voyage was relatively fair, with the exception of the extreme heat in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Indian Oceans, and summer monsoons encountered in those areas. After fair weather, Baird had to catch up since it was too difficult to use a typewriter with the ship rolling in bad weather. Other than his \nPurser duties, Baird and other crew members did many things to pass the time. Baird began reading his first book, \"Men of Albermarle\", and other crew members frequently read books and magazines. The crew played games, and gambled with various games such as dice and card games like four-headed cribbage. They listened to the radio for programs from Allied Expeditionary Stations (AES) such as programs with singer Guy Lombardo, as well as news from the BBC and other broadcast sources. During their voyage the crew heard about the Fall of Rome, the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, the July assassination attempt on Hitler, and other historic events. In some ports, Baird and others were able to see movies, such as \"Wild West\", \"Bomber's Moon\", \"True to Life\", \"Swing Fever\", and \"White Savage.\" Also of note is an initiation for crew members passing south of the Equator which Baird participated in, and a V-lock style haircut that was popular among the crew. \nAlthough Baird wrote many letters to his wife, he was only able to mail three of them during his voyage. Few of the ports he stopped at had reliable mail service, and letters to and from his wife took a long time to be delivered. However, these letters survive as Baird's account of his voyage and his proof of his devotion to his wife during that time in 1944.

Stopping again briefly at Suez before entering the Red Sea, the crew were not allowed shore leave on account of the Black Plague. The SS William Bradford sailed out of convoy in the Red Sea and halted at the port of Aden, where they were given only limited shore leave and were not allowed to swim due to the danger of sharks. Here they rejoined a convoy in the Arabian Sea, continuing through the Gulf of Oman to Bandar Shahpur in the Persian Gulf. \nThe weather here was extremely hot, and apparently Bandar Shahpur was considered one of the hottest places in the world. Baird was compelled to sleep on deck instead of his quarters, which were poorly ventilated due to blackout restrictions. Their ship almost ran aground in shallow water while trying to find the entrance to the port. Their cargo, unloaded by natives under U.S. Army supervision, took almost three weeks to unload, and the only source of entertainment for Baird was in the U.S. Army garrison located there. Their cargo finally unloaded, the ship stopped briefly at Bahrein Island to refuel, and then left the Persian Gulf, entering the Indian Ocean. Rounding Africa, they passed by Madagascar and eventually stopped at Durban, South Africa, and again at Capetown, South Africa for 16 days to repair their refrigeration unit. Baird was able to go ashore and see the sights in both Durban and South Africa. \nThe SS William Bradford then crossed the South Atlantic, stopping at Buenos Aires, Argentina to pick up a cargo of shelled corn. The ship then traveled north, stopping at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Port of Spain, Trinidad. At Trinidad, Baird had to sign off and pay off an injured crew member, leaving him stranded to get back home by himself. From Trinidad, the ship traversed the Caribbean Sea out of convoy through the Windward Passage between Haiti and Cuba, traveled up the Eastern Coast starting at Florida, and finally returned to New York. \nDuring his voyage, Baird frequently writes about the weather, which for most of the voyage was relatively fair, with the exception of the extreme heat in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Indian Oceans, and summer monsoons encountered in those areas. After fair weather, Baird had to catch up since it was too difficult to use a typewriter with the ship rolling in bad weather. Other than his \nPurser duties, Baird and other crew members did many things to pass the time. Baird began reading his first book, \"Men of Albermarle\", and other crew members frequently read books and magazines. The crew played games, and gambled with various games such as dice and card games like four-headed cribbage. They listened to the radio for programs from Allied Expeditionary Stations (AES) such as programs with singer Guy Lombardo, as well as news from the BBC and other broadcast sources. During their voyage the crew heard about the Fall of Rome, the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, the July assassination attempt on Hitler, and other historic events. In some ports, Baird and others were able to see movies, such as \"Wild West\", \"Bomber's Moon\", \"True to Life\", \"Swing Fever\", and \"White Savage.\" Also of note is an initiation for crew members passing south of the Equator which Baird participated in, and a V-lock style haircut that was popular among the crew. \nAlthough Baird wrote many letters to his wife, he was only able to mail three of them during his voyage. Few of the ports he stopped at had reliable mail service, and letters to and from his wife took a long time to be delivered. However, these letters survive as Baird's account of his voyage and his proof of his devotion to his wife during that time in 1944.

Baird, Jr. collection pertains to the service of Ensign Dae D. Baird, Jr. in the United States Merchant Marines from June 1943 until 1946, as a Purser. Consisting of copies of photographs, records of medals, and articles on the Merchant Marine and Mr. Baird's experiences during World War II, the collection provides insight into the experiences of a Merchant Mariner. In his brief account on the war, \"Unusual and Rare World War II Experiences,\" Mr. Baird describes his experiences aboard the SS William Bradford as it carried ammunition and airplane engines to Russia via the Trans-Iranian Railroad. Having traveled across the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and down the coast of Africa to Capetown, the account details the dangers onboard Merchant ships, including the need for blackouts and the use of barrage balloons. Other details discussed include Italian fleets using firewood as fuel, the emergence of the Black Plague in the city of Suez, sightings of whales and albatrosses, the conversion of ships into hospital ships, and initiations for crossing the Equator. The collection includes a photograph of three medals: the Atlantic War Zone, the Mediterranean-Middle East War Zone, and the World War II. Documentation for a medal from the Russian government shows the medal, a certificate, and a letter about the medal. The medal commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriot War and is for Mr. Baird's brave service. The accompanying certificate is signed by Boris Yeltsin, the Russian president at the time. Also included are copies of his Honorable Discharge certificate from the United States Coast Guard, dated August 6, 1945, and his World War II Honoree certificate. Copies of photographs show Mr. Baird in his uniform, during the war, and one at his ninetieth birthday. \nThere are two brief articles on the Merchant Marine written by Mr. Baird. The article, \"World War II, Merchant Marine Review,\" discusses the high casualty rate and involvement in the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, Southern France, Normandy, Iwo Jima, and Guadalcanal. The Merchant Seamen continued to be under attack by Japanese forces following \"Victory over Japan Day.\" The article includes quotes from General Douglas MacArthur and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The quotes exhibit the high esteem in which the two men held the Merchant Mariners for their service in \"every theater of operation\" while performing such a dangerous job for the Allies. The other article, \"More Information about the Merchant Marine,\" is about the recognition deserved by Merchant Seamen and how it took forty years for the United States government to honor their war service and grant them Veteran Status. The article also discusses the Veteran's Memorial Service and their goal to inform people on the achievements of the Merchant Mariners as the number of those who served in World War II diminishes. \nThe following letters were written by Dae D. Baird, Jr. during his voyage from May to November of 1944 on the SS William Bradford, a Liberty Ship. Baird served as a Purser in the Merchant Marine. His duties, while focusing primarily on various paperwork including port entry procedures and the ship's payroll, also included the duties of the Pharmicist's Mate, treating minor troubles for the crew such as cuts, fevers, seasickness, and constipation. As Purser, he interacted with a large percentage of the somewhat diverse Merchant Marine and U.S. Navy Armed Guard crew and remarked on his opinions of the different \ncharacters on board. The letters were written to his wife, Evelyn E. Baird, back home in Memphis, Tennessee. At the start of his voyage in May, Evelyn was pregnant with their son, and gave birth to him later during Dae Baird's voyage. For about a month Baird did not know any details of the birth, although he attempted to get information via a cablegram from the Red Cross. \nThe SS William Bradford sailed from Norfolk, Virginia in an initial convoy of 131 ships, including 97 freighters and tankers, 25 Landing Craft, and their escort of 3 Destroyers and 6 Destroyer Escorts. The ship's cargo consisted of ammunition and crated airplane engines to be unloaded at Bandar Shahpur in Iran. From there the cargo would be shipped to the U.S.S.R. via the Trans-Iranian railroad. Parts of the convoy the William Bradford sailed in left for various destinations, a large portion departing to Sicily and Italy, and other ships in a later convoy peeled off towards India. \nFrom Norfolk, the convoy sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, through the Straights of Gibraltar and across the North African Coast, passing locations such as Oran, Tunis, Algiers, Bizerte, Malta, Cyrenica, Derma, Tobruk, and Alexandria, before stopping at Port Said at the entrance of the Suez Canal. Stopping again briefly at Suez before entering the Red Sea, the crew were not allowed shore leave on account of the Black Plague. The SS William Bradford sailed out of convoy in the Red Sea and halted at the port of Aden, where they were given only limited shore leave and were not allowed to swim due to the danger of sharks. Here they rejoined a convoy in the Arabian Sea, continuing through the Gulf of Oman to Bandar Shahpur in the Persian Gulf. \nThe weather here was extremely hot, and apparently Bandar Shahpur was considered one of the hottest places in the world. Baird was compelled to sleep on deck instead of his quarters, which were poorly ventilated due to blackout restrictions. Their ship almost ran aground in shallow water while trying to find the entrance to the port.

Rounding Africa, they passed by Madagascar and eventually stopped at Durban, South Africa, and again at Capetown, South Africa for 16 days to repair their refrigeration unit. Baird was able to go ashore and see the sights in both Durban and South Africa. \nThe SS William Bradford then crossed the South Atlantic, stopping at Buenos Aires, Argentina to pick up a cargo of shelled corn. The ship then traveled north, stopping at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Port of Spain, Trinidad. At Trinidad, Baird had to sign off and pay off an injured crew member, leaving him stranded to get back home by himself. From Trinidad, the ship traversed the Caribbean Sea out of convoy through the Windward Passage between Haiti and Cuba, traveled up the Eastern Coast starting at Florida, and finally returned to New York. \nDuring his voyage, Baird frequently writes about the weather, which for most of the voyage was relatively fair, with the exception of the extreme heat in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Indian Oceans, and summer monsoons encountered in those areas.

She attended Florida State College for Women (FSCW) in 1933, and earned her Bachelor's degree in History from that institution in 1937.","\nWhile she attended FSCW, she was elected to the 1936-37 Mortar Board, the first national organization honoring senior college women. Flory was editor of the Mortar Board Quarterly from 1950 to 1956, served on the Katherine Wills Coleman Fellowship Committee from 1959 to 1965, and was Parliamentarian for the Mortar Board Conventions in 1961, 1964, 1967, and 1970. In 2001, she was named the recipient of the Eighth Distinguished Lifetime Mortar Board Award.","\nIn 1937, she began her professional career as a teacher of government and history at Leon High School. Some of her students at Florida State University (FSU) included former governor Reubin Askew, former Supreme Court Justice Alan Sundberg, and Attorney General Jim Smith. She attended the University of Virginia, where she received her M.A. in Political Science in 1940 and Ph.D. in 1959. Flory came to FSCW in 1942, where her career took her through the academic chairs of Instructor (1942), Assistant Professor (1947), Associate Professor (1957), Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs (1969), and Dean of the Faculties (1973). In 1973, she also married Claude R. Flory, an FSU professor of English, who retired in June 1978.","\nIn those days, it was most unusual for a woman to serve as Dean of the Faculties, but her wisdom and the respect she earned from her colleagues made her a leader in the academic world. She served during a very difficult time of student unrest (and sometimes violence) on college campuses. As Dean of the Faculties, she was responsible for coordinating University-wide academic matters including faculty promotion and tenure, administration of faculty appointments, curricular approvals, faculty and professional development programs and responses to requests from the Florida Board of Regents on academic matters.","\nAs Dean of the Faculties, Flory was directed by President Bernard Sliger to secure for FSU \"Title Nine Certification,\" and FSU became the first university in Florida to do so. For this achievement, she was elected to the FSU Athletic Hall of Fame-to the great amusement of family and friends who knew her lack of athletic prowess! In 1981, she received the Ross Oglesby Award for outstanding service; in 1982, the Moore-Stone Award for outstanding support of athletics; in 1983, the Herbert Morgan Award for individual service to further women's athletics and the Distinguished Service Award; and in 1984, the Seminole Award for outstanding leadership and service.","\nWhen Flory retired at the end of 1984, a special \"Daisy Parker Flory Day\" was declared in her honor. During the festivities, the Department of Political Science, in which Flory taught a course on Florida Government for over 40 years, conferred upon her the title of Professor Emeritus. The University also established the Daisy Parker Flory Professorship in her honor. In 1986, she received an honorary Doctoral Degree from FSU. She was very active with The Emeritus Club (graduates of 50 years or more), serving as President and Program Committee Chair. She also helped the Club raise $600,000 to establish the Edward Conradi Eminent Professorship to honor President Conradi, who served from 1909 to 1941.","\nFor a number of years, Flory served on the Committee of Thirty whose charge is to secure funds from corporations, alumni, and others to support women in organized athletic activities in the Atlantic Coast Conference (basketball, volleyball, softball) and also to solicit increased support from the University for women in organized athletics. She and her husband Claude personally established a full scholarship for women's volleyball.","\nFlory has been a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Sigma Alpha, Phi Alpha Theta, and Pi Gamma Nu. She has been President of the Tallahassee Branch of AAUW and the Tallahassee Historical Society, Secretary of the Southern Political Science Association, and a member of the Governor's Study Committee on Personnel. Even at 86, she still attended the meetings of the Sesquicentennial Committee on her campus, planning for the celebration of FSU's 150th Anniversary Celebration on January 24, 2001.","\nFlory also served the residents of Westminster Oaks, a retirement community where she and her husband lived. She provided outstanding speakers for their Friday night Lecture Series and for the Women's Breakfasts, such as FSU Eminent Professor Dr. Leo Sandon, nationally-known professor of religion; Dr. William Warren Rogers, well-known writer of southern and regional history; Dr. James O'Brien, a meteorologist nationally-known for his research on the weather phenomena El Nino and La Nina, as well as hurricanes; Dr. Donald Horward, internationally-known expert on Napoleonic strategy who has taught at FSU and at West Point on Napoleonic campaigns; and former Governor Reuben Askew, a former Flory student and now Eminent Professor.","\nHer writings include:","\n- Background for Public Decision-Making","\n- Proceedings of the Pre-Session Conference for Florida Legislators held at the Florida State University, January 26-28, (Tallahassee, Fla: Institute of Governmental Research, The Florida State University 1967)","\n- Executive Branch in the Florida Constitution, Prepared for the Florida Constitution Revision Commission (Created by Senate Bill No. 977, Approved June 24, 1965) (Tallahassee, Fla: Institute of Governmental Research, The Florida State University, 1966)","\n- The Florida Executive and Constitutional Revision (Tallahassee, Fla.: Institute of Governmental Research, The Florida State University, 1967)","\n- John Milton, Governor of Florida (Thesis: Honors Paper, Florida State University, 1937).","\nFSU's Reichelt Oral History Program includes a recorded interview (with transcript), with Claude and Daisy Parker Flory.","Special Collections staff member Burt Altman processed the collection in March-April, 2005.","The Daisy Parker Flory Collection documents many aspects of Dr. Flory's professional life, and is valuable to researchers studying Florida elections, higher education in Florida, state government reorganization, and changes in the Florida executive and legislative branches of government from the late 1950s through the 1970s.","\nThe majority of the papers are subject files containing materials she used in teaching Florida Government classes at Florida State University.  The collection includes correspondence, photographs, and reference materials, mostly journals.  The class materials originally included several boxes of deteriorating newspaper clippings. Several sample folders were retained, and news clippings from these folders were photocopied.

She attended Florida State College for Women (FSCW) in 1933, and earned her Bachelor's degree in History from that institution in 1937.","\nWhile she attended FSCW, she was elected to the 1936-37 Mortar Board, the first national organization honoring senior college women. Flory was editor of the Mortar Board Quarterly from 1950 to 1956, served on the Katherine Wills Coleman Fellowship Committee from 1959 to 1965, and was Parliamentarian for the Mortar Board Conventions in 1961, 1964, 1967, and 1970. In 2001, she was named the recipient of the Eighth Distinguished Lifetime Mortar Board Award.","\nIn 1937, she began her professional career as a teacher of government and history at Leon High School. Some of her students at Florida State University (FSU) included former governor Reubin Askew, former Supreme Court Justice Alan Sundberg, and Attorney General Jim Smith. She attended the University of Virginia, where she received her M.A. in Political Science in 1940 and Ph.D. in 1959. Flory came to FSCW in 1942, where her career took her through the academic chairs of Instructor (1942), Assistant Professor (1947), Associate Professor (1957), Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs (1969), and Dean of the Faculties (1973). In 1973, she also married Claude R. Flory, an FSU professor of English, who retired in June 1978.","\nIn those days, it was most unusual for a woman to serve as Dean of the Faculties, but her wisdom and the respect she earned from her colleagues made her a leader in the academic world. She served during a very difficult time of student unrest (and sometimes violence) on college campuses. As Dean of the Faculties, she was responsible for coordinating University-wide academic matters including faculty promotion and tenure, administration of faculty appointments, curricular approvals, faculty and professional development programs and responses to requests from the Florida Board of Regents on academic matters.","\nAs Dean of the Faculties, Flory was directed by President Bernard Sliger to secure for FSU \"Title Nine Certification,\" and FSU became the first university in Florida to do so. For this achievement, she was elected to the FSU Athletic Hall of Fame-to the great amusement of family and friends who knew her lack of athletic prowess! In 1981, she received the Ross Oglesby Award for outstanding service; in 1982, the Moore-Stone Award for outstanding support of athletics; in 1983, the Herbert Morgan Award for individual service to further women's athletics and the Distinguished Service Award; and in 1984, the Seminole Award for outstanding leadership and service.","\nWhen Flory retired at the end of 1984, a special \"Daisy Parker Flory Day\" was declared in her honor. During the festivities, the Department of Political Science, in which Flory taught a course on Florida Government for over 40 years, conferred upon her the title of Professor Emeritus. The University also established the Daisy Parker Flory Professorship in her honor. In 1986, she received an honorary Doctoral Degree from FSU. She was very active with The Emeritus Club (graduates of 50 years or more), serving as President and Program Committee Chair. She also helped the Club raise $600,000 to establish the Edward Conradi Eminent Professorship to honor President Conradi, who served from 1909 to 1941.","\nFor a number of years, Flory served on the Committee of Thirty whose charge is to secure funds from corporations, alumni, and others to support women in organized athletic activities in the Atlantic Coast Conference (basketball, volleyball, softball) and also to solicit increased support from the University for women in organized athletics. She and her husband Claude personally established a full scholarship for women's volleyball.","\nFlory has been a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Sigma Alpha, Phi Alpha Theta, and Pi Gamma Nu. She has been President of the Tallahassee Branch of AAUW and the Tallahassee Historical Society, Secretary of the Southern Political Science Association, and a member of the Governor's Study Committee on Personnel. Even at 86, she still attended the meetings of the Sesquicentennial Committee on her campus, planning for the celebration of FSU's 150th Anniversary Celebration on January 24, 2001.","\nFlory also served the residents of Westminster Oaks, a retirement community where she and her husband lived. She provided outstanding speakers for their Friday night Lecture Series and for the Women's Breakfasts, such as FSU Eminent Professor Dr. Leo Sandon, nationally-known professor of religion; Dr. William Warren Rogers, well-known writer of southern and regional history; Dr. James O'Brien, a meteorologist nationally-known for his research on the weather phenomena El Nino and La Nina, as well as hurricanes; Dr. Donald Horward, internationally-known expert on Napoleonic strategy who has taught at FSU and at West Point on Napoleonic campaigns; and former Governor Reuben Askew, a former Flory student and now Eminent Professor.","\nHer writings include:","\n- Background for Public Decision-Making","\n- Proceedings of the Pre-Session Conference for Florida Legislators held at the Florida State University, January 26-28, (Tallahassee, Fla: Institute of Governmental Research, The Florida State University 1967)","\n- Executive Branch in the Florida Constitution, Prepared for the Florida Constitution Revision Commission (Created by Senate Bill No. 977, Approved June 24, 1965) (Tallahassee, Fla: Institute of Governmental Research, The Florida State University, 1966)","\n- The Florida Executive and Constitutional Revision (Tallahassee, Fla.: Institute of Governmental Research, The Florida State University, 1967)","\n- John Milton, Governor of Florida (Thesis: Honors Paper, Florida State University, 1937).","\nFSU's Reichelt Oral History Program includes a recorded interview (with transcript), with Claude and Daisy Parker Flory.","Special Collections staff member Burt Altman processed the collection in March-April, 2005.","The Daisy Parker Flory Collection documents many aspects of Dr. Flory's professional life, and is valuable to researchers studying Florida elections, higher education in Florida, state government reorganization, and changes in the Florida executive and legislative branches of government from the late 1950s through the 1970s.","\nThe majority of the papers are subject files containing materials she used in teaching Florida Government classes at Florida State University.  The collection includes correspondence, photographs, and reference materials, mostly journals.  The class materials originally included several boxes of deteriorating newspaper clippings. Several sample folders were retained, and news clippings from these folders were photocopied.

Books and Pamphlets","Dorothy Burnett Porter Wesley (1905-1995) was a librarian, curator and bibliophile born on May 25, 1905 in Warrenton, Virginia. Her parents were physician Hayes Joseph Burnett and tennis player Roberta (\"Bertha\") Ball Burnett. She was the eldest of four children and grew up in Montclair, New Jersey. ","She graduated from Miner Normal School, Washington D.C. in 1925 with the intention of becoming a teacher. Wesley worked as a library assistant in the Miner Normal School library where she worked with librarian Lula V. Allan (1879-1968) who encouraged her to pursue a career in library science. Wesley enrolled in Howard University in 1926 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928. She then enrolled at Colombia University's School of Library Science where she received a Master's in Library Science in 1931. ","In 1929 Dorothy married artist and art history professor James Amos Porter (1905-1970) with whom she had her only daughter, Constance \"Coni\" Porter Uzelac (1939-2012). James A. Porter graduated with honors from Howard University in 1927 and began teaching art there the next semester. His classic book and standard reference work,  Modern Negro Art , proved to be one of the most informative sources to date on the creativity of the Black artists.","In 1930, Dorothy Porter began work as curator of the Moorland Foundation at Howard University, (now known as the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center) and worked to build the library's collections documenting African, African American, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Hispanic history and culture. After becoming the Curator at Howard University in 1930, started thinking about how to catalog books by Black authors and related to Black history and culture. At the time, she recognized that the Dewey Decimal System only had two numbers (for \"Slavery\" and for \"Colonization\") under which all works related to Black people or Black authors could be cataloged. In response, during the first few years of her Curatorship, she created a new classification system that reflected the true breadth of the books available on topics related to Black people and by Black authors. She disseminated the classification system to other libraries, and published it in 1939. Porter worked at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center until her retirement in 1973.","James Porter's died in 1970, and in 1979 Dorothy married Charles Harris Wesley (1891-1987), a noted historian, educator, and author. After receiving his master's degree from Yale University in 1913, he taught at Howard University from 1913 until 1942. Between 1920 and 1925, he also earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University, the fourth African American to do so. He served as President of Wilberforce University from 1942-1947 and of Central State College, Ohio from 1947 until 1965. ","Charles Harris Wesley authored more than 15 books on African-American history over the course of his career. His first book, Negro Labor in the United States, was hailed as one of the most useful works on the role of African-Americans in industry available in the 1920s. Dorothy worked with Charles on a variety of research projects even prior to their marriage, and continued to do so until Charles's death in 1987. ","After her retirement from Howard University in 1973, Dorothy Porter Wesley worked as a consultant for a variety of institutions and foundations such as the Radcliffe University's Black Women Oral History Archive. She also continued to write articles and books.","In 1994 President Bill Clinton presented her with the National Endowment for the Humanities' Charles Frankel Award. Dorothy Porter Wesley died in Broward County, Florida in 1995.","The book  William Cooper Nell, Nineteenth-Century African American Abolitionist, Historian, Integrationist: Selected Writings 1832-1874  (2002) was the last research project that Charles and Dorothy worked on together, and was posthumously published by Dorothy's daughter, Constance Porter Uzelac. Uzelac worked as a medical librarian. After her mother's death, she became the Executive Director of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Archive and managed James A. Porter's art collection.","In 2000, Constance Uzelac worked with the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book, James Findlay, on an exhibition of her mother's collection that was displayed at the Broward County Main Library in February and March of 2001. Samuel F. Morrison, Director of the Broward County Library, was instrumental in bringing the collection to exhibition at the Bienes, and would further encourage the purchase of the materials from Uzelac for the newly-opened AARLCC Special Collections in December 2002. Constance later worked at Broward County Library, cataloging a portion of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Collection at the AARLCC Special Collections. Constance married Milan Uzelac in 1965. They had no children. She died in Broward County in 2012.","This collection received file level processing.
