GENERATIONS ARE SADDENED Few men so live their lives that when they leave thXs MGrral
territory it can be said f,his passing will sadden generations
of colleagues who knew him to be their friends." The University was fortunate to have had the beneficent influence of two men of that stature, and unfortunate to have lost them both in less than a week. One was in the field of law, guardian of Man’s rights, the other in religion, guardian of Man’s spirit.
Of Dean Wesley A. Sturges, his successor at Yale, Dean Eugene V. Rostow, quoted above, also said: "...he was one of our greatest teachers, an original and iconoclastic scholar and a devoted dean." Law students, alumni and faculty will agree.
Dr. William Henry McMaster retired from the University in 1953 after 15 years as head of the religion department. He had been president of Mt. Union College in Alliance, Ohio, for 30 years when the late President Bowman F. Ashe called him to Miami. Dr. McMaster also dedicated his life to teaching and to his students, who reciprocated by dedicating to him the chapel in the Wesley Foundation he had served so well.
MASSEY NAMED ACTING DEAN M. Minnette Massey, who had served with Dean Sturges as Assistant
Dean since his appointment July 1, 1961, was named Acting Dean by President Stanford following approval by the Board of Trustees at its meeting Nov. 13.
A member of the law faculty since 1951, Dean Massey will carry the deanship responsibilities in addition to teaching and Moot Court supervision until such time as a successor to Dean Sturges is found.
STANFORD OUTLINES First on the list of "immediate needs" of the University outlined by
U OF M NEEDS President Stanford at the Miami Rotary meeting last week was additional
endowment for faculty salaries: a) to raise the base rate of present salaries to conform to national standards in order to retain our faculty and to provide increases where merited, and b) to provide the scholarly climate and the opportunities which attract professors already distinguished in their fields and able young teachers capable of rising to distinction. His report reflected the findings of the University Task Force, a committee appointed by Dr. Pearson in 1961 to give intensive study to the long range objectives of the University. Dr. Stanford spoke of the need to move ahead in doctoral programs in mathematics, physics, Spanish, English, history, philosophy, economics and government; in master’s programs in sociology and geography which would later lead to doctoral programs. He stressed also the need for funds for undergraduate and graduate scholarships and for endowment to help the University through a transitional period as it continues to raise admissions standards.
As to physical facilities, Dr. Stanford named those for science and medical education as paramount and indicated long range considerations of a Center for the Arts to comprise drama and art departments, an auditorium and field house and,when graduate programs warrant them, separate buildings for the schools of business administration and education and for a communications center tentatively called Center for the Study of the News. Said Dr. Stanford: "It is time to consider how we may move from potential to reality — and the time grows short. Excellence in all areas is not only our goal, its achievement is vital if we are to contribute as a major university to the needs of this area. No university worthy of the name ever stops growing. But its progress must be firmly guided and supported rf its teaching and research programs are to be more than adequate. We are at work now on organizing a program setting forth a year-by-year plan designed to enable the University of Miami to move into the ranks of distinguished universities of this country."
DEBATERS SCORE Competing with 40 other colleges and universities in the 17th annual GRAND SLAM Carolina Forensics at the University of South Carolina, Nov. 8-10, Miami’s
debate team, coached by forensic veteran Donald Sprague, made a spectacular sweep of both the varsity and novice divisions and added the southeastern intercollegiate championship to its laurels. UM varsity debaters Sonnett and Richard not only won 11 straight debates for the championship but took first and second place respectively as individual debaters. Novice debaters Mackauf and Wolpert won first place trophy with 11 ~7ins, one loss. This year’s debate topic: "Resolved, that the non-communist nations of the eWorld should establish an economic community."
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT There are 639 students from 54 countries enrolled this semester —
POPULATION RISES not counting more than 125 participating in non-credit intensive
English courses— according to a report released last week by Dr.
A. H. Yarrow, foreign student advisor. This represents an increase of seven percent over last fall’s 597, due partially to a rise in Cuban students from 272 last fall to the current 364. There are 125 students from South and Central America, 42 from Europe, 29 from Canada,
28 from Asia, 19 from the Near East and 3 from Africa. Of the total,476 are men, 163 women students.
