Author Description

Excerpt from Flastacowo, 1935, Vol. 22: Florida State College for Women Dr. Yonge was a member of the Board of Control for nearly twenty-five years and was chairman of the Board for nearly twenty years. Doctor Wart mann was chairman of the joint committee of the House and Senate in 1905 which had charge of the Buckman Bill which established the present ih stitutions of higher learning in Florida, and was a member of the Board of Control for a little more than twenty-one years. The service that these two men have given to F lorida is a valuable part of the history of the State. Their fine sense of honor, their lovable character, their fine spirit of good will, and their never-failing creative interest in the finer life of the spirit have been a fun damental contributing inuence toward placing the institutions of higher learn ing of F lorida in the front line with the best. Political and personal favorit ism or prejudice was foreign to them; they were always looking for the best and nothing but the best. They held that the institutions of higher learning were created to be builders of life. They gave their time and their energy to this great work with a cheerfulness and a good will that was inspiring, and they found this work as easy and as light as the yoke and the burden that Jesus spoke of when he gave to his followers the Light of Life.
