Darts & Laurels

Welcome back to the heart of the Gator Nation, Gators. And for the baby Gators, we on the Editorial Board would like to extend you a special welcome to our beloved UF, the very same school where our former quarterback now models underwear on the side. We hope you have adjusted well (stocking up on Ramen, avoiding your first hangover for as long as possible) to your first few days of college life in the land of never-ending orange and blue.

About The Alligator

The Alligator was founded in 1906 as The University News, which was an independent, student-owned newspaper created to serve the University of Florida when it opened in Gainesville. In 1912, the newspaper became a part of the University of Florida administration, and was renamed the Florida Alligator.
