While a student at Stetson University College of Law in Spring 1959 and president of the Student Bar Association, I had the privilege of introducing Dean Harold Leon “Tom” Sebring to an audience of 100 or so lawyers and judges. I summarized Dean Sebring’s background and finished by saying, “I now introduce to you Tom Sebring, a former judge of the Nuremberg war crimes trials, former justice and chief justice of the Supreme Court of Florida, the dean of our law school, and former head football coach of the University of Florida.” As I said this, the audience burst into laughter. The dean stood, smiled at me, approached the podium, put his hand on my shoulder, and thanked me for the introduction. I had introduced Dean Sebring this way in all seriousness to emphasize how much he had achieved, but to the members of the audience it must have seemed inconceivable that the same person could have been a highly acclaimed jurist, a law school dean, and also the head coach of a national collegiate football power. Surely no one person could have such a multi-faceted career, they must have thought. However, Dean Sebring did all of this and much more. He is one of the most versatile figures in the history of our State and Nation, and to me and others who were his students, he was an outstanding teacher and a great dean.
