Biographical or Historical Information
The Buckman Act of 1905 consolidated Florida colleges into three institutions of higher learning, and established the Board of Control over those institutions. Florida State College in Tallahassee then became the institution designated for women and was briefly named Florida Female College. After a few years it was renamed Florida State College for Women. This name continued until 1947 when the institution returned to coeducational status and was renamed The Florida State University. The Board of Control continued until 1965 when it was replaced by the Board of Regents in accordance with Florida Statutes.

Processing Information
At some point these reports were filed in four spring binders with tabbed dividers for each year or semester, with years grouped together in binders as follows: 1927-1935; 1936-1940; 1947-1951; and 1951-1962. The reports have been removed from the binders and are now filed chronologically in archival folders. The dates in the folder titles match the information on the tabbed dividers that were found in the binders. Some reports are for first or second terms in Summer session. It is unknown if the reports from 1941-1946 are missing or were never reported. Beginning with Fall 1951-52 cumulative totals are given for Fall and Spring Semesters and for Summer Sessions on fold out carbon copy reports. For the year 1951-52 semester totals were not broken out according to notes on the reports.
