LETTER
For Faculty and Staff
Volume 10, No. 6
December 1, 1969
COMPUTING CENTER NAMED The University of Miami Comput-FOR LATE ARTHUR A. UNGAR ing Center will be named Friday,
December 5 for the late Arthur A. Ungar, a trustee of the UM from 1937 to 1965 and then trustee emeritus until his death in April, 1969 at the age of 84. A luncheon for members of his family, friends and members of the UM Board of Trustees will be held at 12:30 p.m. in the Faculty Club. President Stanford will deliver a special tribute to Mr. Ungar.
Unveiling of a memorial plaque inside the Computing Center will take place following the luncheon. President Stanford announced the move to honor Mr. Ungar for outstanding service to the UM following official action by the Board of Trustees.
The five-story building, in operation since January, 1965, houses the UM's computer complex, including the IBM 360/MOD65, the offices of the division of atmospheric sciences, Center for Theoretical Studies, U.S. Weather Bureau and National Hurricane Research Center.
A pioneer Miami businessman, Mr. Ungar was known as the “Pillar of Miami'9 for his numerous charitable and civic endeavors. In 1965 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the UM. Said President Stanford:
“With an insight made all the more perceptive by intuition rather than formal learning, Mr. Ungar felt instinctively that a good university was essential to the proper development of the Greater Miami area, so he served the University of Miami for 28 years as an active trustee and four years as a trustee emeritus, his zeal for the advancement of the University never flagging.
“He became, literally, an evangel for the impoverished institution as he converted business men to its cause and thus helped pilot it around the shoals of financial insolvency. That the UM today is a financially viable institution is attributable in no small measure to the energies of Arthur Ungar and the citizens he persuaded to join him on its Board.“
