The enthusiasm with which the goal was set was shown in the immediate donations made by those present at the meeting Tuesday. “We hope the whole plan be successful,” Dr. Ashe when asked for a statement Wednesday night, “for it will probably mean a number of new buildings for the University.

Mr. Hughes’ gift will support his conviction that the University can be the greatest factor in the growth and cultural development of South Florida, and the Miami area especially. He had been planning this donation to the University of Miami for some time as an anonymous gift, but he made the news public to spur on the work of the realtors’ committee in it’s effort to raise an additional million dollars for the school in the next sixty days. Half of this fund is earmarked for the construction of a mechanical engineering school, which interests Mr. Hughes greatly because he is himself a mechanical engineer. The rest of the gift may be used at the discretion of Dr. Ashe and the board of trustees for the construction of other building facilities which the school may need. The donor suggested that the University needs immediately classroom and laboratory facilities. Later he hopes the University will expand to offer still more opportunities for study. The donor has been a winter resident of Coral Gables for the past sixteen years and' has watched Dr. Ashe’s work at the University with keen interest. Formerly of North Dakota, Mr. Hughes has been variously engaged in operating coal mines, public utilities, telephone companies and until just recently was a newspaper publisher. His wealth has been amassed entirely by his own efforts and Edmond Hughes is known in North Dakota as a generous contributor to worthwhile community projects.
