Minutes, 1893-1905.

Series 157 of the University Archives Public Records Collection consists of a bound volume containing the minutes of the Board of Trustees of the Florida Agricultural College at Lake City.

The minutes contain annual expenditures and a record of faculty and administrative appointments. Of special interest are the lengthy annual reports of President Oscar Clute for 1895-1898 and discussion of an altercation between the college president and the director of the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1893. There is also considerable documentation on agricultural work done at Lake City and at the substations in De Funiak Springs and Ft. Myers.
