Six Persons Killed by Hurricane Which Ruins Florida Fruit Crops
The full brunt of the storm apparently descended on Orlando in the central part of the state where it was estimated there had been sustained over two million dollars in damage to property and 20 million in destruction of the citrus crop. From 40 to 60 per cent of the grape fruit, crop was destroyed and from 15 to 20 per cent of the orange crop.
A new course in applied vertebrate zoology primarily designed to aid to the preparation of birds and mammals for the museum was also approved in the meeting. This course will be of interest to anyone who is studying vertebrates.
The committee to study the possible improvements in teaching reported that it had planned to write abstract briefs of the important books and articles concerning education and teaching. The briefs will be sent to the faculty members. Those students interested in reading these articles may secure them in the library.
Winds of hurricane intensity sweeping northward over Florida today left in their wake at least six persons dead and millions of dollars in damage to property and crops.
The committee on Curriculum which has been studying the needed changes in courses in the University be required to take a specially designed course in the fundamentals of biology. The basic elements of zoology entomology, botany, and physiology would be combined in the course. A laboratory course in addition to the basic course would also be required.

Orlando Gets Full Brunt
Six persons were known dead in Cuba where the tropical disturbance struck last night and Key West, Miami, Tampa, and Orlando had reported extensive property damage early today.
Red Cross disaster crews have moved into the area and have set up relief stations to aid the homeless.
By one of the freak moves of the storm, Tampa escaped being directly hit, but considerable damage was sustained when high velocity winds swept through the city. The little city of Lakeland, northeast of Tampa and about 65 miles southwest of Orlando was directly in the path of the disturbance and early today was completely isolated as telephone and telegraph officials admitted that all lines to the city were disrupted.
Tampa Escapes Direct Hit
Jacksonville was experiencing "pre-hurricane" winds about noon today but it is thought the storm will move into the Atlantic before reaching the port city, although it may sweep on up the coast.
