Flag Company Inc And The University Of Florida

By Ben Arnolds


Florida State University, colloquially known as Florida State and FSU, is a public research university well-known for its nationally ranked academic programs as well as its competitive men's and women's athletic teams. It is one of the largest and oldest members of the State University System of Florida.

In a 1905 reorganization of Florida’s educational system by the Legislature, six state institutions of higher learning were consolidated into two when the University of Florida in Gainesville was established and designated a men’s school and the Florida State College became a women’s school named the Florida Female College. In 1909 the name of the college was changed to Florida State College for Women; an institution, which grew to become the third largest women’s college in the nation during the 1930’s.

In 1857, it was taken over by the State as one of the seminaries, as a result of an attempt made by the city, under the leadership of Mayor Francis Eppes. In 1858, the school absorbed the Tallahassee Female Academy, founded in 1843, and became a co-educational institute.

In each succeeding decade, Florida State University has added to its academic organization and presently is composed of 16 independent colleges. It has expanded from the original few acres and buildings to 542 buildings on 1,550 acres, including the downtown Tallahassee main campus of 451.6 acres, a farm which for many decades supplied the Florida State College for Women with food, the Seminole Reservation â€" a recreational facility, the Marine Laboratory on the Gulf Coast, the Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering facility, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Division of Research at Florida State’s Southwest Campus, and the branch campus in Panama City, Fla.

FSU's mission is serving "as a center for advanced graduate and professional studies while emphasizing research and providing excellence in undergraduate programs."

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Florida University flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Florida University flag for the future.
