UM AND L. D. PANKEY DENTAL
FOUNDATION SET UP PROGRAM
The University of Miami and
the L. D. Pankey Dental Foundation, Inc. signed an agreement May 6 for the establishment of a graduate program in dentistry
which will be the only one of its kind in the nation.
Under the agreement, the Foundation — headquartered in Coral
Gables — will establish an Institute for Advanced Dental Education and
erect a building in the vicinity of the UM School of Medicine/Jackson
Memorial Hospital medical center.
The Institute will offer postgraduate courses for dentists in practice and for dental assistants, technicians and hygienists.
Signing the agreement were President Stanford and Dr. Harold
Wirth, D.D.S., of New Orleans, president of the Foundation.
The agreement stipulates that the Foundation is "fully responsible
for all costs of construction, maintenance and operation of the Institute,
now and in the future, to the end that the University will in no way be
subject to any financial responsibility therefor, either now or in the
future."
The Institute is envisioned as a 10-story structure, containing
100,000 square feet of space. It is estimated the "shell" will cost approximately $2 million, and the completed and equipped building in the
neighborhood of $10 million. The Foundation was the brainchild of
seven dentists who wanted to honor the accomplishments of Dr. Lindsay
D. Pankey, who has been practicing in Coral Gables since 1925.
