Rollins Alumni 1949

These are the official records of Hamilton Holt (1872-1951), the eighth President of Rollins, who fostered a great legacy of expansion and growth for the College. Holt established the Spanish-Mediterranean architectural style on the campus, founded the Animated Magazine, and launched the Conference Plan that centered the Rollins curriculum on individual students. He also brought many great personalities to Rollins, including Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, and the American philosopher John Dewey. It was during the Holt era that Rollins achieved national prominence as one of the outstanding experimental colleges of the time.
