Harold B. Crosby Society

Harold B. Crosby Society--$1,000,000 or more

Named after UWF's first president, Judge Harold B. Crosby, this society is created to honor the pioneering spirit that was needed to launch a new university. Judge Crosby not only had the courage to fight for an institution of higher education in the region, but he recognized the endless possibilities that an education could provide the residents of Northwest Florida. The Harold B. Crosby Society is in honor of those individuals who share these same qualities and who have invested in significant ways to the advancement of the University of West Florida with their gifts.

Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,

As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler

than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a

dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell

by life's unresting sea!

? Oliver Wendell Holmes
