IMS/TABL DEDICATION DRAWS WORLD SCIENTISTS
The emergence of UM’s Institute of Marine Science as a leading world oceanographic center was marked Nov. 20 as scientists from around the globe joined UM and US officials in joint ceremonies dedicating IMS facilities, old and new, and the new Tropical Atlantic Biological Laboratory of the US Bureau of Fisheries, located opposite the IMS on Virginia Key.
Principal speakers at the ceremonies were Admiral O. D. Waters, Jr., USN, Oceanographer of the Navy, and the Hon. Stanley A. Cain, Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
Metro Mayor Chuck Hall welcomed the guests. Other speakers included President Stanford, Dr. Thomas S. Austin, TABL director and Dr. F. G. Walton Smith, IMS director since its founding in 1943.
The meteoric growth of UM’s most renowned academic and research program is related in the Sept.-Oct. issue of “Sea Frontiers,” whose headquarters are at the IMS. Titled “IMS Comes of Age,” it traces the history of the Institute from its beginnings in a rickety boat house to its present stature as one of the world’s leading centers of teaching and research in the marine sciences.
