The Flag Company Inc Through The History Of Florida University

By Swan Derrick


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.

FSU had its beginning with a grant from the Legislature of the State of Florida in a Legislative Act of January 1851, to establish two seminaries of learning on the east and west of the Suwannee River. Accordingly, by 1854, the City of Tallahassee established a school for boys, known as the Florida Institute.

The year 1947 saw many changes. Demand by returning World War II veterans had brought men back to Tallahassee and on May 15, 1947, the Governor signed an act of the Legislature returning Florida State College for Women to coeducational status and naming it Florida State University. The student body, numbering 4,056, chose a new alma mater and selected the Seminole as their symbol. The Flying High Circus was born, and football was started again when the first home game since 1905 was played in October.

It then remained as the West Florida Seminary, until the state legislature added the military section and changed its name to The Florida Military and Collegiate Institute in 1863. In 1901, the school was renamed Florida State College and became a four-year institution with four departments such as the School for Teachers, the School of Music, and the College Academy.

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.
