On October 25, 1964, U.S. President Lyndon Baines Johnson dedicated Florida Atlantic University. The photos record the activities of the dedication: finding seats, being an attendee, President Johnson’s arrival, President Johnson’s receiving an honorary doctorate, and President Johnson’s speech. On the platform with the President Johnson were the following people: FAU President Kenneth Williams, Florida Governor Farris Bryant, Florida Congressmen Claude Pepper, Dante Fascell, and Paul Rogers, and Florida Senators George Smathers and Spessard Holland.
