⁣Hundreds of students have taken classes in this auditorium, but few know the UF history associated with it. Daniel Goodrum (BSBA ’49) and his wife, Margaret Swanson Goodrum, were raised in South Florida and graduated from Palm Beach High School. ⠀ ⠀ Margaret Goodrum’s grandmother, Sally Swanson, was the first UF house mother when the university was in Lake City. When the Gainesville campus was built in 1905, the Swansons (including Margaret’s father) moved into Buckman Hall, occupying its entire first floor for a year. All the Swanson boys eventually attended UF; most famously, Robert (Margaret’s uncle), a Gator bandleader credited as having co-written the UF anthem, “We Are the Boys of Old Florida” in 1919. William Goodrum (BSBA ’79) and his wife, Catherine, continued the family’s UF legacy with a gift to name the Goodrum Auditorium for his parents.⠀ ⠀ #GoGreater #GoGators #NamedSpaces
