Melrose University?

I have been told there was a Melrose University at one time and that it was located in Putnam Hall and/or was located near it. I cannot find any reference to Melrose University.

Can someone set me straight on this institution? Did it exist or could it be a garbled reference to University of Florida?

Thank you

What era are you referring to?

One of the more famous yogis [sorry cannot recall his name] has an institute there currently. Santa Fe Community College currently has a campus in Keystone Heights.

Since Melrose straddles four counties [Alachua, Bradford, Clay, and Putnam], you may need to check the county histories of each. Looking at "The River Flows North: A History of Putnam County" by Brian Michaels, I am not findin any kind of college or university there.
