The school is located in the- Gulfport residential section of'St. Petersburg and occupies a group of handsome "buildings of Spanish architecture. Their beauty is enhanced by fountains and stately treesthat landscape the campus.' In addition to this natural beauty, the. entire physical plant is a carefully planned functional unit. -The instructional facilities of the .school include five' classrooms, two seminar rooms, a model practice courtroom, and - a ■ -legal library, containing over, 70,000 volumes. - All of these facilities are completely air conditioned. There is also dormitory space on the campus for unmarried male students. - FINE FACULTY The school has assembled one of the finest legal- faculties of any law school.in the, South. In addition to the professors in residence, there is a regular. practice of'in-' viting prominent attorneys and jurists to address the" school's students in the latest legal developments of the day. A particular emphasis is placed on maintaining a close .personal contact between student and teacher at all times.

The new housing, will be used as regular dormitories or be available as rental units for men's fraternities now housed off campus. It will'" take care of others living off campus or .commuting un- —*■ reasonable distance. Five two-story dormitories, "to house a total of 140'men, will be built just north of Pennsylvania Avenue and west of Amelia Avenue on University property.' None of the five units will face any of the city streets, but will have a circular drive,for frontage. -Hayden'Avenue will feed,into4he circular drive. - • One large parking "area will be placed across the north edge of the plot and one at the southeast corner. ■■ The first floor of each unit includes a concrete terrace, a social room, a foyer- and' a housemother's apartment. -The second floor is made up of 14 double bedrooms; a bathroom,. and a trunk storage room. ' ■ In, addition to the interior stairs, each small dorm will have' an exterior steel stairs on the outside of the building going up to the second floor. ' The ranch style buildings' will be of brick and siding, with asphalt shingle roofs. Overall dimensions are -137 by 177 feet. Kemp,- Bunch, and Jackson of Jacksonville are the architects. Construction. will begin as soon, as'possible with the hope that occupancy can begin in September of 1962. Bids will be advertised according to government specifications. A loan of $560,000 was made by the Community Facilities Administration in Washington for the construction of the new dorms. The-.loan is-to.be paid back over-a- 40-year period, with interest at 3 1/2 percent."1 Zoning approval for the buildings was given by the DeLand Variance and - Zoning committee on March 2, when plans and financing were explained to the city group. -- ADDITION TO EMILY Informal approval was given by the board for an addition to Emily Hall. If all plans go well and the proposed building layout is approved, Emily Hall will have a south wing to match the existing north, one. The wing will extend from the.southern end toward the boulevard, giving a "U" shape to the present women's dormitory. Because "of .the slope of the ground on the southern''end, it is possible to make the new addition three stories rather than two. ' The new wing will raise the capacity of Emily from 120 to 196 women. In addition to the sleeping quarters, it will house typing rooms, storage rooms, furnace rooms, and a lobby. . ,. ■ If all moves smoothly, and, the plans are approved immediately, occupancy for the new wing might be as early as February, 1963. PALMS PURCHASED In addition to the' building" program, Stetson has already attempted to ease the housing problem, by purchasing the Palnis. This former guesthouse at 124 E. Michigan Ave., was purchased this summer- for use as a women's residence - hall. The new dormitory makes possible the housing of approximately 40 freshmen women.- Rooms in the new housing are comparable to that of the regular residence. halls at Stetson. - Stetson rented the property for about three years after the war to ideals and practice of military education in the United State. It particularly wished to reach colleges and universities where military science' and tactics ' was a part of the curriculum. Membership is by election only, ' and is divided into four classifications: active, alumni^ associate and "honorary. J'"A'ctive members are chosen from outstanding cadet. officers of the advanced course of Army, Navy, and Air' Force ROTC. A cadet elected to Scabbard and Blade must be "an officer and a gentleman." He must possess the qualities of leadership, patriotism, efficiency, loyalty,, obedience, courage," good-fellowship, and honor. These qualities he must have demonstrated both on the drill field and on campus. Merit is considered the sole basis for membership in Scabbard and Blade. Recognition by-the organization is a goal toward which most serious, cadets strive. It,is an incentive for better and more wholehearted work in learning the role of a leader. ' ' Stetson's .Scabbard and Blade is one of the most active organizations on campus. In addition to its work on the turkey shoot and ■ military .week, Scabbard and Blade is the largest single contributor to the Green Feather charity drive.
