Everyone knows of the mysterious secret agent "James Bond" who goes by the code number 
, but did you know that James Bond set foot on UF's campus?
Unfortunately, this is a different Bond from the one you know in the films! In February 1970, Dr. James Bond (head of student affairs at Bowling Green State University) visited Findlay College to speak to the Board of Trustees. He gave a speech that highlighted the importance of adapting to change in the world of higher education. Even though this speech was given over 50 years ago, it is still applicable today. Higher education has always had to adapt to change so that students are prepared upon graduation. Check out the photos below to read a brief article from The Obelisk (Findlay College's student newspaper before The Pulse) about Dr. Bond's visit to campus.
You can also click here for a short article about Dr. Bond from BGSU's newspaper, The B-G News from November 14, 1967. The first 007 films were also released in the 1960s, so it is ironic that Dr. Bond and agent 007 share the same name!
