Every year Prof. John Oliver tried to remind astronomy
personnel when UF's astronomy department became its own entity at UF.
(Previously astronomy was associated with physics.) He was proud of
this fact.
John, as most of us know, unfortunately passed away this past February 10th.
John devoted forty years of his life to his department and was passionate about its mission. Therefore, I think John would have liked us to continue this tradition.
So, as John would have written:
The Department of Astronomy was born on (approximately) this date in 1979.
