“The big men I interviewed during my week’s stay all seemed to be of the opinion, too, that the Miami district, especially Coral Gables with its University of Miami, will play no small part in. the future development of Pa.i-American affairs. They are particularly optimistic over what the University of Havana and our own University here will be able to do ft r each ether and the countries represented by their students through cordial exchanges of var-ieus kinds.”
