to the welfare of his alma mater as was John Lowrey.
"His intense devotion to the idea of progress on this campus inspired his fellow students and me as well. Our grief over his death is mitigated by our memory of the cheerful, effective leadership he gave to the USO and other campus activities.”
•USO spokesman — “USO deeply regrets the recent and untimely loss of its founder and first president. John Lowrey.”

by his sister, Dianne T
Lowrey organized and founded USO in 1961 under the name Pi Sigma Phi. He served as president of the service organization until 1963.
He left the USO presidency in 1964 to work with the International Research Bureau.
In recognition of his service to UM, Lowrey was cited in W’ho's Who in American Colleges.
Born March 29, 1938, Lowrey served in the U. S. Coast Guard before entering UM in February, 1960.
He attended Ithica College, Ithica, N. Y„ from 1955 to 1957. He was graduated from La Salle Institute. Troy. N. Y.
The following statements on Lowrey were issued Monday and Tuesday:
•President Henry King Stanford — “Seldom, in the camaraderie I have been privileged to enjoy with students on a number of college campuses over a number of years, have I known a student so dedicated
•Director of Admissions George F. Giampetro — “My association with John Lowrey was brief, to say the leats. However, one did not have to be on campus very long to hear of his activities and contribution to the University of Miami. In talking with John, one was impressed with his concern for others and his institution.”
•James Grimm, Director of Housing — “W o r k i n g with John Lowrey for two years, I found him to be one of the most outstanding young men I have been associated with He was a credit to the university.
“His devotion toward his job at the university was an inspiration. The university has suffered a great loss."
•Chink Whitten, director of the Student Union — “They come along now and then — young men who walk in and announce, ‘We’re going to do this-or-that’ — and quite often they forget it after a while
and the dream never happens.
"But sometimes one comes along who can back it up and ask for the chance and work for it into the night and over entire holidays — wiring-up public address systems, building a boat to burn at Home-coming, repairing the television set in the Union, going to meet the planes bringing visitors to our campus, standing in the rain assisting incoming freshmen as they arrive on campus, driving welcome wagons, interpreting the speech of a lonesome ‘foreign’ student, stuffing thousands of envelopes, helping, helping—until you feel like these kids ought to be honored. And when you mention it. they soy, 'No thank you, we're always happy to be of service.'
"Such a young man was John, who, with USO, came to our rescue on so many occasions.
“They come along every now and then, these people like John Lowrey. He loved and honored our university.”
•Mark Clasby, former USG president — "In founding USO and in his other activities, John served not only the students, but the whole university. If there was ever a student who gave of his time, it was John."
•Lee Clifford, USG president —“It is hard to reconcile such a happening with justice. He lived as many students should and do not.
The following are quotations from a letter written by Lowrey to the HURRICANE on behalf of USO. It was printed Aug. 2, 1964:
"... A university is a spiritual entity endowed with a great tradition of thought enlivened by the labors of scholars seeking for truth.”
. . The University of Miami, aware in its depth of that fundamental reason for a university's existence, is dedicated to the task of developing superior young people who will contribute in a superior way to society and to culture.”
“Our university will be served by not only how well you apply yourself to your studies, but how well you assume the other obligations of a student.”
