By now, anyone connected in any way to Florida Institute of Technology is familiar with the story (legend?) of the famous first donation of 37 cents. While the impetus for the formation of the university may have come from a mythic moment in time, the process of its creation was an arduous one.
The university’s first 10 years saw many challenges, but its founding president, Jerry Keuper, stayed true to his vision during those formative years. Serving as witness to his drive, as well
as providing much needed help
along the way, were the first of two chairmen of the board.
As founding trustees, both George Shaw and Denton Clark had a vested interest in the success of the university. Now, as part of the university’s history project, launched in conjunction with the 50th anniversary, they have given all who hold the university dear an inside glimpse into these
formative years.
