Biographical History
In 1851, the Florida State Legislature authorized the all-male Seminary West of the Suwannee on the property of the Florida Institute in Tallahassee. The first classes were held in 1857 and in 1858 females were admitted in a seperate department called the Female Institute which operated until 1882 when the Seminary became coeducational.
During the Civil War, in 1863, the institution's name was changed to the Florida Military and Collegiate Institute. Cadets from this institute fought in the Battle of Natural Bridge in 1865. In 1901 the name of the West Florida Seminary was changed to the Florida State College.
