Now that we’ve got him, we wonder if he Isn’t better of in the jungles.

The University of Miami will be the first university in the country to have a full-time professorship in intercultural education, as the result of a gift by Benjamin E. Bron-ston, Miami Beach realtor.
Choice of the person for this position it to be made by the University and the National Conference of Christiana and Jews.
The man selected will serve as director of a workshop in intercul-tural education which will be offered this summer by the University. He will continue in the fall, teaching courses m intercultural education.
In making the gift, Bronston said, “Since we have just passed through a terrible war to eliminate prejudices and discriminations, we must now try to unite with a better understanding amongst our own citizens as well as all peoples of the world When this is accomplished, it will spell democracy in action."
Bronston, a native of Wichita, Kansas, came to Miami in 1933 One of hie daughters, Mrs. Selma Harris, was graduated from the University.
Dr. Charles Doren Tharp, dean of administration, pointed out the necessity of further study in the field of human relations due to the ever increasing problems in minority group relationships.
Dr. Tharp said the University recognizes a new objective emerging in grade school and high school education, the teaching of skills in inter-group living. This skill is basic to the success of united nations and the maintenance of a united America.
"Therefore, the University is establishing this new professorship in the social sciences in line with a new postwar need.”
The intercultural courses at the University will be on an undergraduate level. Full college credit toward a degree will be given for them and for the workshop, designed primarily for teachers and others in educational fields.
