Doyfe's Column Florida Southern College Most Unusual In America Br HAL BOYLE LAKELAND, Fla. April 1 (ff) l 60-year-old college president nrho never law the inside of a ichoolroom of any kind until e was 18 h building here the nost unusual campus in Anier ca. The Florida Southern college which Dr. Ludd M. Spivcy has lirected since 1925 already was oteworthy because it had the nly citrus grove campus and n ported Hindu temple in the , lountry. . Under construction now is a 19-buildlng development de ligned by the famous architect, frank Lloyd Wright, in an ultra modernistic etyle peculiar to Wright himself. Typical exam ples: A chapel without crosses or lights, a semi-circular library that has an inside garden, sky lights and can double as an auditorium or music room. Student Labor The buildings are of yellow colored concrete coquina shell blocks made by student labor glass bricks and steel. They will be linked by a mile-and-a-half esplanade or covered side walk of unique design. No fea ture of the architecture re sembles the traditional Gothic or sandstone and red brick hor rors beloved on many campuses. Some students and visitors are crazy over the buildings. More conservative ones just say, "the buildings are crazy." Dr. Spivey enjoys the contro versy, is content with the knowl edge his Methodist college will bear the distinction of having the largest group of Wright-designed constructures extant. "They illustrate Mr. Wright's belief that buildings should har monize with their surroundings, should seem to flow out of their surroundings," he eaid. And even in their present incom plete stage there is a distinct feeling of Florida's sand and mellow sunlight about them. .As unusual as the buildings is Dr. Spivey himself, a farmboy-preacher-educator who never at tended school of any kind until he was 18 and received his col lege degree at 34. . Twenty-two years ago he came here to head a small debt-ridden college of 129 students and at the end of its present two-year construction program will own 45 buildings. Champ Fund Raiser A fund-raiser able to talk be quests out of a stone Indian, Dr. Spivey has obtained financial support from all classes. One of the college's chief benefactors is Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whit ney, a former student Dr. Spivey wants to keep his college reasonably small no more than 2500 students be- BATES SHOES " They're Here Just in Time For Easter Leisure Jackets From 15.00 Top off your Easter outfit with a Leisure Jacket.

"They produce more leaders because each student has more chance to share and take an ac tive part in the group social life," he said. "Fifty years ago small colleges had 75 per cent of the enrollment and produced 75 per cent of the country's lead ers. Now they only have about 25 per cent of the enrollment the larger universities get most but they still produce 65 to 75 per cent of the leaders." Dr. Spivey, a disciple of John Dewey, is strongly social mind ed. Human Collage "I believe in a human college not in an ivory tower," he said, "a college where science pro vides the tools and where edu cation and religion point the way." A feature of the campus is its "garden of meditation" contain ing a i ten-ton Hindu temple brought 15,000 miles from Be nares by Dr. Frederick B. Fish er, a former missionary bishop in India. Noteworthy also are the hundreds of orange and grapefruit trees scattered throughout the 80-acre campus. Last year they produced 5000 boxes. "No, the students didn't pick them they ate them," eaid Dr. Spivey. A friend summed up the white-haired educator's remark able career: "He's been shaking th bushes all these years, and now his work is bearing fruit." Peavy Named Chest President SALEM, April 1 ( Dr. George W. Peavy, Cor vail is, former president of Oregon State college, was reelected president of the Oregon Community Chesl at the fourth annual meeting here yesterday. Elected executive committee men included A, L. Schroeder, Baker. v . . Motorists Warned To Keep Off Lake 'O Woods Road A warning to motorists to keep off the Lake o' the Woods road beyond Rocky Point until further notice, was issued today by Wally Hector, county engi neer. Hector made the trip over the road Saturday with great diffi culty to check on the progress of uie clearing operation. Ho reported about six inches of packed ice below the surface of the snow. The ice is bumpy and uneven, he said, conducive to bad skids with unexpected spots of thawing where a car could easily bog down. Work has been started with a bulldozer from Rocky Point junction and will continue on through Lake o' the Woods on Dead Indian road to the Jack son county line, Saturday noon Harold Bortln, cat operator, had reached the summit beyond Lake o' the Woods, where he encountered about a four-foot depth of heavy snow. When the entire road has been cleared of Ice and snow, use of the blade will bo tint next operation. Thawing Ice and frost In the ground makes for bad travel conditions. Hector pointed out, and travel on tho road at the present time may not only be hazardous to motorists, but fill ing in "sitzmarks" caused by bogged vehicles will delay com pletion of the rond work.
