The 1977-78 report on the University by president Dr. Henry King

The Golden Spike, symbolizing the School of Business Administration building program, was driven into the ground Wednesday
afternoon during groundbraking ceremonies for the new building.
The five story structure, which is scheduled for completion in
between 12-15 months, was made possible by a $2.5 million gift
from George Jenkins, a member of the UM Board of Trustees, and
founder and chairman of the Board of Publix Supermarkets, Inc_
and a $2 million gift from the estate of Elsa and William H. Stubblefield. In commenoration of these gifts formal name of the structure will be the George W. Jenkins Building and The Elsa and William H. Stubblefield Classroom Building f The School of Business
Administration
Patrick Cesarano. chairman of the UM Board of Trustees, in
addressing the audience in referring to the groundbreaking said he
felt that the structure would aid in "furnishing Florida business
community with the educated talent it will need for its continued
growth."
UM president. Dr. Henry King Stanford called the groundb-
reading "another milestone in the history of the university and particularly the School of Business Administration."
The School of Business was founded at UM in 1929. Since then
it has grown tremendouly. Business Week, in a ranking of the top
15 graduate business programs in the nation, rated UM's program
among them.
"A new facility will not guarantee excellence, but I dont
think we could achieve true excellence without it," Stanford said.
Stanford went on to say the groundbreaking will symbolize to
the Miami community that the University is ready to serve Miami.
He, along with the other speakers at the ceremony, expressed their
gratitude to Jenkins and members of the Stubblefield estate for
making Wednesday's event possible.
Jenkins mounted the dais to a lenghty, almost ear shattering
round of applause. Speaking of his gift, the 71 year old Jenkins said
that as a child his mother had told him that "the only thing you can
take with you when you go is what you give when you're alive."
School of Business Administration Dean Edward Fox, who
also spoke at the ceremonies extolled the numerous achievements
of the school, he said that the school is in the process of conducting
a new faculty drive, and that finally faculty members would all be
able to have offices together. In addressing Jenkins Fox said, "i am
proud sir, that your name will be so closely associated with this
School of Busibness."
fox, Cesarano, Stanford and Jenkins, all adorning UM hard-
hats, each took three seings with the mallot driving the Golden
Spike into the ground and beginning a new era for the School of
Business Administration.
A reception folllowed the ceremony outside the Lowe Art Museum.
