In 1947, the year Florida State became a coeducational institution, Jack Haskin founded the Flying High Circus. Under Haskin's direction, the FSU Circus grew from a small show in an old Army gymnasium
to a nationally recognized organization. For seventeen years, Haskin taught in Florida State's Department of Recreation. His foresight and creativity in developing the circus has given FSU a unique
recognition as well as a rare opportunity for gymnasts and other athletes at Florida State to perform in a non-competitive environment. Every spring when the Flying High Circus tent is raised on the
Florida State campus, it stands as a memorial to its founder Jack Haskin.
