Biographical or Historical Information

Dr. Raymond E. Bellamy, retired Chairman of the Florida State University School of Social Welfare and Department of Sociology, was born in 1885. In his early youth, he attended and graduated from Moore's Hill College with a Bachelor of Science degree. He secured the Master's and Doctor of Philosophy degrees at Clarke University where, as a student assistant, he taught botany, chemistry, and physics.

Dr. Bellamy's career in Tallahassee, Florida initially began in 1918 when he was invited to teach at the Florida State College for Women. Soon thereafter, in addition to teaching economics, history, political science, and statistics, he prepared and taught a course in anthropology, one of the first to be taught in southern colleges. In 1924, he accepted the assignment as Head of the Department of Sociology, a post in which he attracted some creative and competent teachers of sociology and the social sciences. Upon his retirement from Florida State University in 1956, the Board of Regents designated Dr. Bellamy as Professor Emeritus. The social sciences building on the FSU campus was named after Dr. Bellamy at its dedication in 1967. He died in Tallahassee on July 4, 1970.
