FLORIDA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL UNIVERSITY
Historical Sketch
Florida A&M University
'FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY was established
by constitutional provision and legislative enact-ment in 1887 as the Colored Normal School. Itbecame a university on September 1, 1953 as aresult of a bill passed by the State Legislature onApril 28.
The University is divided into seven schoolsand colleges-the College of Education, Collegeof Humanities and Social Sciences, College ofScience and Technology, School of Architec-ture, School of Business and Industry, School ofNursing, and School of Pharmacy. In addition,FAMU has 11 academic and related servicefunctions-Academic Computer Services; BasicStudies; Continuing Education, Evening andWeekend College; Cooperative Education;Graduate Studies; Honors Program; Instruc-tional Media Center; Libraries; SponsoredResearch; Summer Quarter; and Test ServiceBureau.
The spacious campus is spread over an areaof 404 acres. The main campus is located on thehighest of seven hills in the State Capital City ofTallahassee.
The campus is made very picturesque bymassive oaks, broad, green lawns, beautifultropical shrubbery, red brick buildings, andwell-placed concrete walks. The location and at-mosphere are most ideal for an educational in-stitution. It is a Land Grant institution and one ofFlorida's nine state-assisted universities.
The University holds membership in all ofthe leading accrediting and professional agen-cies, including full membership in the SouthernAssociation of Colleges and Schools. A chapterof Phi Delta Kappa, a professional fraternity formen in education, was established in 1964. The
University was admitted to membership in theAmerican Association of University Women in1959.
The University went on year-round opera-tion with the trimester system in 1963-64, andchanged again to the quarter system in 1967-68.
Dr. Walter L. Smith became the seventh per-manent president on September 1, 1977. Therehave been three acting presidents.
In 1970, by authorization of the Board ofRegents, FAMU became the first and only uni-versity in the state to offer a major in Afro-American Studies.
Several projects have been either recentlycompleted or are currently under way for thecontinued improvement of the University'sphysical plant. Foremost among these is the re-cent completion of a multi-million dollarwomen's apartment complex. More recently theUniversity Commons and the central libraryboth have undergone extensive renovation.Also, a $2 million building to house the School ofPharmacy was completed and occupied.
The validity of the investment in. physical-ex-pansion and development has been justified by asignificant record of educational growthreflected in the development of educationalprograms, the increase in student enrollment,and a corresponding increase in staff.
The necessity to expand the offerings of theUniversity has generally coincided with thephysical expansion.
Under the leadership of Dr. Smith, FAMUenters a new era, and the University takes onadded significance as it meets the educationalneeds of its students and continues to moveforward in giant strides as an institution of higherlearning.

ALMA MATER
College of love and charityWe gather 'round thy noble shrine;We lift our voice in praise to thee,And ask a blessing all divine.
ChorusFAM-U! FAM-U! I love thee!I'll fight and win what'er the battle be.The Orange and the Green thy Sons shall e'er defendAnd loyal to thy voice of love attendFAM-U! FAM-U! FAM-U! I love thee!
On gridiron, diamond track and field,Thy sons the vict'ry never yield,-And while they tread a broader lifeThy love shall stay them in the strife.
Chorus
God ever keep us true to thee;Thy faith that truth shall make men free,Shall guide thy loyal sons arightAnd fend them thru' the skeptic night.
Chorus
