From the olden days........have a good 21st century day with your
cake and streamers and candles to extinguish......and the many presents from your family and friends...........

If you had come to the University of Florida for its opening semester in the fall of 1906, Buckman Hall, along with Thomas Hall, would have represented the entirety of the campus. These original two buildings provided all the services of the University, and into each fit all of the students and their professors, the dormitories and classrooms, offices, library, infirmary, and dining hall. The building was named for the legislator Henry Buckman, who was instrumental in the reorganization of the state university system that ultimately allowed for the founding of the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Good lord look what else I found in the history of Buckman Hall.

Incident in the Dormitory

Dr Henry Hamilton, Professor of Agricultural Economics, lived in Buckman Hall as a student. He recalls a terrible incident that occurred in Buckman Hall in the spring of 1917, one that reveals some of the long and fraught racial history of the university:
“There was a little black boy that was killed in the dormitories. The black women would come to the dormitories to pick up the wash for the boys. I think that they did your week’s wash for thirty-five cents; I’m not sure. At any rate, one of the little boys came to the room of a man, a student, to get his wash. He told him to go away and come back later. Well, the little boy went away and came back in about ten minutes. The student had a gun under his pillow. He intended to shoot over the little boy’s head, but shot him in the temple and killed him. Well, the black people went on strike. I believe it was the dean of the college that put out word that they needed some help over on the farm. I went over to help on the farm while they were out on strike. After that, I was on call about anytime that they needed me on the farm, but I never did do a great deal of work on the farm, some, but not a great deal. I guess I didn’t do any after my junior year. It was in my sophomore year that I did most of it.” (7)

Thank you all!! You are all a bunch of ornery bastards but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Big changes in the Buckman household. Going to chase that paper in upstate NY, wooooo lake effect snow. It’s basically a hefty raise and promotion over what I am doing now. As always Go Gators!!! **** Georgia and Miyami
