THE FOUNDATION FOR A GREAT UNIVERSITY 49

 was formed in 1927, with the organization of sociology, busi-
 ness administration and journalism subjects, into the College
 of Commerce and Journalism.
 At the close of the academic year 1909-10, when Dr. Mur-
 phree was finishing the first year of his administration as presi-
 dent of the University of Florida, there were enrolled in the
 regular classes of the University 112 students. Of this num-
 ber, eighty-one were enrolled in the academic courses and
 thirty-one in law studies. In addition, there were enrolled
 four students in the graduate school, and fourteen were en-
 rolled as "specials," making a total of 130. In addition to
 this there were twenty-nine "sub-freshmen," eighteen enrolled
 as special students in mechanics, arts, agriculture and peda-
 gogy during the year, and nine taking the short term normal
 course in the spring. This total swelled the number of students
 to 186. This enrollment represented a growth of nearly a
 hundred over the year previous.
 The results of Dr. Murphree's plan to broaden the scope
of university instruction and work through the various col-
leges were apparent in the enrollment figures during the first
year the plan was in operation, 1910-11. The enrollment
jumped from 186 to 241.
 In the newly formed colleges the following were listed:
Arts and Sciences, eighty-two; Agriculture, thirty; Engineer-
ing, forty-eight; and Law, forty-one, making a total of 201 in
the academic departments of the University. There were
seven in the graduate courses and thirty-three in the sub-
freshman classes. The faculty grew to twenty-six, with two
additional student assistants in the University; the staff of
the Experiment Station numbered twelve. The first assistant
professors, two in number, were added that year, and there
were five teachers with the rank of instructor.
 The military organization of the University had at its head
that year Major E. S. Walker, U. S. A., Retired, whose name
appears as commandant from 1908 to 1919. A. G. Davis
was major, the ranking student officer. For "field music"
there were three students, while the entire corps was placed in
two rather small companies.
