50th Anniversary Coffee Table Book

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the University, a special coffee table book, The University of South Florida: The First 50 Years has been published. This hard-cover, coffee-table quality book revisits the early beginnings of USF and transitions through every decade of the university. Read how the university was named and what decisions our first President, John Allen had to make. Revisit the shorts riot. Rediscover the beginnings of USF academic programs and colleges. And reflect on the university today. This book is a must for every USF Bull and friend of the university.

The University of South Florida: The First 50 Years is the result of an extensive research effort by the University Libraries Florida Studies Center. Over 200 current and former students, faculty, administrator and community friends were interviewed and videotaped through their oral histories program. Every issue of the USF Oracle was read and the library archives were culled. The University of South Florida: The First 50 Years is the most comprehensive research of the University of South Florida ever published, and just in time for the 50th anniversary year celebration.
