From The President
Dear Student:
To you freshmen, entering the exciting new world of higher learning, I extend a most cordial welcome.
Those of you not already acquainted with the great minds of the past will discover new friends, many of them centuries old, who will kindle your imaginations and sharpen the questing of your own minds.
I would caution you not to he dismayed at the vast heritage of knowledge that will he available to you. Entering a university is akin to embarking on an adventurous voyage. As you travel along, the horizon is never reached. University professors will be your guides to new horizons, help you chart your course to the destination of your chosen goal.
1 believe you will find this aspect of the experience that awaits you exhilarating and personally rewarding.
As Tennyson said in his poem about one of the greatest adventurers, “Ulysses,”
. . all experience is an arch where through Gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move . .
He also spoke of “Ulysses”
“, . . yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.”
Be assured, your journey through the many seas of learning is really just beginning. It will be an adventure to last your lifetime.
Another aspect of university life is of course the joy to he found in friendships with your fellow students from many states and many lands. From these associations will come a special learning, not to be gained solely from hooks and professors. For as Alexander Pope rephrased an earlier French philosopher: “The proper study of mankind is man.”
This, again, is a fascinating study you will pursue throughout your lifetime.
Our primary purpose here at the University of Miami is to enable each of you to reach your potential, to rise above the common denominator, to assist you in becoming responsible leaders of your generation.
1 look forward with a great deal of enthusiasm to welcoming you personally next month.
You who will be transferring to our campus are included in this warm welcome. And you who are returning already know my deep interest in you as students and as individuals.
Sincerely,
Henry King Stanford

Student Education Members Sponsoring Extensive Program
The Student Education Association, largest undergraduate professional organization on campus, has planned an extended program for the 1965-66 school year according to its 1st Vice President and Program Chairman, Larry Cohen. The local chapter, which was chartered in 1950 by the National Education Association and the Florida Education Association, last school year had 675 active members.
For the third year, the local chapter will sponsor an extensive teacher's aide and tutoring project at the neighboring George Washington Carver Elementary and Secondary Schools. Over 100 members participated in this project last year. This program was reviewed in the August issue of PAGEANT magazine. Continued programs and activities for the year include a regional leadership conference to be held in October at Boca Raton, Florida and a statewide meeting to be held in the central part of
the state during the spring semester. Both of these meetings are open to all members.
During the latter part of September, a reception will be held for new students planning a career in teaching. The purpose of the reception is to meet the Executive Committee headed by student president, Esther Lubin, and the faculty of the School of Education headed by Dean John R. Beery.
The S.E.A., which is the official student organization representing the School of Engineering, again will sponsor in March the annual Education Day activity during which it will play host to over 400 high school seniors who are members of the Future Teachers of America. The final activity of the year will be a reception honoring the senior members of the organization. Dr. Gilbert J. Farley, assistant professor of education, has been the advisor for the past five years.
