Dr. Edward Conradi served as the President of the Florida State College for Women, now known as Florida State University, from 1909 to 1941. Dr. Edward Conradi was the longest-serving president there. He was appointed as the dean in 1909 and shortly after, he became the president. Born in Ohio, Dr. Conradi earned a Ph.D. in psychology from Clark University in Indiana.
His contributions to the college were significant. By 1915, he had developed a program that was recognized by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 1924, the institution was approved by the Association of American Universities. Each year of his administration, he added personnel and equipment to the growing institution.
