A chapter in Strength in Numbers: The Rising of Academic Statistics Departments in the U. S, 2012, pp 369-379 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Statistics at the University of Florida (UF) evolved from a small Statistical Laboratory in the 1950s to a department formed in 1962 to coordinate statistics teaching, collaborative research, and consulting around campus. It has grown to now encompass a highly rated graduate program with 17 faculty and 65 MS and PhD students. Throughout its history, the department has emphasized excellence in its teaching role, including the development of course textbooks, and about 7,500 students a year now take its courses
