College
The student population at UF was the same as the total population of my hometown. My favorite memories centered around St. Augustine Catholic Student Center.

Wallace had been shot and everyone had a ho-hum attitude about the announcement--we'd seen too many assassinations in the last 9 years.
At commencement our speaker said he was wedged timewise between a speech at another college by the President (Nixon) and a horse (Secretariat) in the last race in the
Triple Crown. Years later I could remember the president and the horse, but had trouble remembering the speaker's name. (It turned out to be Gov. Collins.)
