DR. A. A. MURPHREE'S GREATEST MONUMENT 105

 Plans call for the broadcasting of varied programs, in
which faculty and students of the University will play an im-
portant part. There will be a remote control to broadcast
programs from the Florida State College for Women at Talla-

 Professor Rudolph Weaver, architect of the State Board
of Control and head of the Department of Architecture of the
University, who drew the plans for the station, and Dean John
Benton of the College of Engineering, who has charge of the
construction work, were in close touch with the University
