THE STRUCTURE IS ENLARGED 63

 "Dr. Murphree was always grieved when the appropria-
 tions needed for the University were cut down," Dean Nor-
 man said. "My last official contact with him was on the mat-
 ter of appropriations. He said the one thing he was looking

realized that it was written in a moment of vexation and was
willing to ignore it completely until I felt better about the mat-
ter. Dr. Murphree was always fair and never harbored a
grudge. He was always willing and eager to forgive and for-
get unpleasant situations.
 "I was Dr. Murphree's golf partner on many occasions.

round in par. He was greatly elated and invited me to his
home for supper."

 At the same time the number of public schools was in-
creasing rapidly in Florida as everywhere. The standards
were being raised and more able teachers were in demand.
Summer schools at centers most suitable, with terms of from
four to six weeks, were established.
 To meet this need President Murphree took active part in
the founding of a regular summer school in the University of
