   BE on a WINNING TEAM...the nautilus
logo  
The chambered nautilus represents perfection in nature, personal growth and the University's dedication to the environment. The founders sought an emblem appropriate to an institution that would incorporate and transmit the vast and accumulating knowledge and values particular to our culture. The first president of UWF, Dr. Harold Bryan Crosby, found inspiration for choosing the nautilus as the university's logo in the Oliver Wendell Holmes' poem, "The Chambered Nautilus."
