The roots of the University of Florida trace back to 1853, when the Florida Governor Thomas Brown signed a bill that provided public support to higher education. The East Florida Seminary EFS in Ocala was one of the first schools to utilize this funding, but was forced to shut down during the Civil War. In 1866, EFS got reopened in Gainesville. In 1884, Florida Agriculture College opened in Lake City. Its name changed to University of the state of Florida and in 1909 the name was shortened to University of Florida. In 1909, the Graduate School was established due to the efforts led by Albert A. Murphree. The US economy was hit by the Great Depression and World War II and hence, state funds were not available for expansion. This has impacted the quality of education and admissions. The Warrington College of Business Administration acquired its name when Alfred C. Warrington IV, the founding chairman and former co-CEO of Sanifill, Inc donated $11 million for providing state-of-the-art facilities to the students. The Hough Graduate School of Business is named in honor of William R. Hough, founder of an investment firm bearing his name and an alumnus of the first MBA class of Warrington College in 1948. He donated an endowment worth $30 million to the Warrington College in 2007 for the enhancement of business education.
The Warrington College of Business Administration’s mission is to build a better society by creating influential research and educating tomorrow’s business leaders.
