A military veteran, Dr. Smith is also a
graduate of the U. S.Army Leadership Academy

A true son of Florida A&M, Dr. Smith spent
much of his youth in Tallahassee in the home of

Bachelor of Arts in biology and chemistry, and
the Master of Education in administration and

assistant to the dean of FAMU's School of Education from February 1972, through January 1973.
Dr. Smith is proud of his FAMU connections

In addition to earning the doctorate in
higher education administration from Florida
State University in 1974, Dr. Smith has received
extensive specialized preparation. He completed specialized training in Improving Teacher
Competencies at the Northwest Regional Education Laboratories, Portland, Oregon, and earned

Among his diverse work experiences are
positions as ateacher of chemistry and biology in
Tampa, management trainee for IBM, provost
and chief negotiator for Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, and executive with the
Florida and National Education Associations.
Dr. Smith is credited with establishing the
first statewide center for human relations in
Florida under sponsorship of the Florida Education Association. The FEA presented him its
leadership award in human relations in 1973. He
has published and edited several papers and
other works, and holds membership in Phi Delta
Kappa. His other affiliations and memberships
include the National Council on Research and
Development, the Board of Education Advisors
of the Permanent Charity Foundation, and the
board of directors of the Council of Black
American Affairs.
He has served as court appointee of the
Citywide Coordinating Council of Boston,
Massachusetts, and as Governor's appointee on
the Post-Secondary Education Commission of
Massachusetts.
Dr. Smith is married to the former Jeraldine
Williams of Tampa, and they have four children,
John, Andre', Salesia, and Walter, II.

FLORIDA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL UNIVERSITY
Historical Sketch
Florida A&M University
'FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY was established
by constitutional provision and legislative enactment in 1887 as the Colored Normal School. It
became a university on September 1, 1953 as a
result of a bill passed by the State Legislature on
April 28.
The University is divided into seven schools
and colleges-the College of Education, College
of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of
Science and Technology, School of Architecture, School of Business and Industry, School of
Nursing, and School of Pharmacy. In addition,
FAMU has 11 academic and related service
functions-Academic Computer Services; Basic
Studies; Continuing Education, Evening and
Weekend College; Cooperative Education;
Graduate Studies; Honors Program; Instructional Media Center; Libraries; Sponsored
Research; Summer Quarter; and Test Service
Bureau.
The spacious campus is spread over an area
of 404 acres. The main campus is located on the
highest of seven hills in the State Capital City of
Tallahassee.
The campus is made very picturesque by
massive oaks, broad, green lawns, beautiful
tropical shrubbery, red brick buildings, and
well-placed concrete walks. The location and atmosphere are most ideal for an educational institution. It is a Land Grant institution and one of
Florida's nine state-assisted universities.
The University holds membership in all of
the leading accrediting and professional agencies, including full membership in the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools. A chapter
of Phi Delta Kappa, a professional fraternity for
men in education, was established in 1964. The
University was admitted to membership in the
American Association of University Women in
1959.
The University went on year-round operation with the trimester system in 1963-64, and
changed again to the quarter system in 1967-68.
Dr. Walter L.Smith became the seventh permanent president on September 1, 1977. There
have been three acting presidents.
In 1970, by authorization of the Board of
Regents, FAMU became the first and only university in the state to offer a major in AfroAmerican Studies.
Several projects have been either recently
completed or are currently under way for the
continued improvement of the University's
physical plant. Foremost among these is the recent completion of a multi-million dollar
women's apartment complex. More recently the
University Commons and the central library
both have undergone extensive renovation.
Also, a $2 million building to house the School of
Pharmacy was completed and occupied.
The validity of the investment in. physical-expansion and development has been justified by a
significant record of educational growth
reflected in the development of educational
programs, the increase in student enrollment,
and a corresponding increase in staff.
The necessity to expand the offerings of the
University has generally coincided with the
physical expansion.
Under the leadership of Dr. Smith, FAMU
enters a new era, and the University takes on
added significance as it meets the educational
needs of its students and continues to move
forward in giant strides as an institution of higher
learning.

A1VtfU'ANA"
ALMA MATER
College of love and charity
We gather 'round thy noble shrine;
We lift our voice in praise to thee,
And ask a blessing all divine.
Chorus
FAM-U! FAM-U! I love thee!
I'll fight and win what'er the battle be.
The Orange and the Green thy Sons shall e'er defend
And loyal to thy voice of love attend
FAM-U! FAM-U! FAM-U! I love thee!
On gridiron, diamond track and field,
Thy sons the vict'ry never yield,And while they tread a broader life
Thy love shall stay them in the strife.
Chorus
God ever keep us true to thee;
Thy faith that truth shall make men free,
Shall guide thy loyal sons aright
And fend them thru' the skeptic night.
Chorus
