The dedication of J.J. Daniel Hall (Administration Building) is scheduled for Feb. 1 at 4 p.m. outside the second floor (front) entrance. A plaque honoring Jaquelin James Daniel will be unveiled at that time.
"We believe that naming our administration building after J. J. Daniel will provide appropriate and well-deserved recognition for the high standards which were the hallmark of his life,"said President Adam W. Herbert.
Daniel, an outstanding Jacksonville resident exemplified community service. For more than 15 years he served on the Board of Regents and on its predecessor, the Board of Control. Daniel's leadership was instrumental in the founding of this university. He died last year.
Mrs. Page Daniel and her two daughters as well as a number of family friends are expected to attend the dedication. DuBose Ausley, Board of Regents member, will deliver a tribute address followed by the plaque unveiling. Daniel also will be awarded, posthumously, the E. T. York Distinguished Service Award for his lifelong commitment to higher education in Florida.
