Thirty-seven cents. This first donation to Jerry Keuper, made at least partly in jest at a bar in Indian Harbour Beach, led to the creation of one the nation’s top technological universities, Florida Institute of Technology. The remarkable story of the university as it unfolded over the intervening decades is handsomely told in words and pictures in No Small Dreams: Florida Institute of Technology, 1958–2008. This beautiful coffee table book details the university’s journey from its origin as the “night school for missilemen” to the vibrant university still growing today.
