Dr. Henry King Stanford will begin directing the University of Miami from the president’s chair July 1.
The 46-year-old head of Birmingham-Southern College was named UM president April 18 by the Board of Trustees, during the Easter break. He will succeed Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, who will become the University’s first chancellor.
Dr. Stanford told the press that it was not an easy decision for him to accept the new post.
, At Birmingham-Southern — rated one of the 20 best small institutions in the nation — he is in the midst of a 10-year, $10 million-dollar development program which he launched himself.
■* And, he is well-liked there. When word leaked out that Dr. Stanford was under consideration for the vacancy here, part of the 1000-member student body swarmed to his house and picketed with banners and shouts, urging him not to go.
Dr. Stanford came out and told them that it was a touching demonstration that warmed his heart, but that he has “never considered any one man as indispensable.” The students went home quietly.
That same week, he announced his acceptance of the UM position before an overflow assembly of Birmingham - Southern students.
After his brief speech, he got Em ovation lasting several minutes.
“It is not easy to leave an institution with the impressive academic strength of Birmingham-Southern College,” Dr. Stanford
said.
“Moreover, it is a civic asset of incalculable value — a kind of intellectual, cultural and moral beacon for the community."
Concerning his new post, Dr. Stanford admitted that he was facing a challenge.
“I am tremendously complimented and yet awed by the responsibility and the authority which the trustees of the University of Miami have placed in me,” he said.
“I promise to mobilize all the enthusiasm and energy I possess in working with the trustees. faculty, students, alumni and friends of the University to advance its welfare.”
Dr. Stanford said that the metropolis of Miami deserves and needs a great university.
“A university is a precious institution,” he said. “It is really a trustee of the legacy of civilization. It discharges this trust in two closely related activities: dis-(Cont. on Page 2, Col. 3)
Kingston Trio Receives OK To Sell Show
A misunderstanding between Alan Sherr, publicity agent of the Kingston Trio, and the Undergraduate Student Government almost prevented the advertising on the UM campus of the trio’s Miami appearance.
Sherr, who spoke with a UM official and received permission to place posters on campus, did not get the USG approval seal. The posters were taken down.
The agent was not aware that this stamp was required. When he was notified that the posters had been removed, he looked into the matter, discovered the misunderstanding, and cleared up the situation. The advertisements now boasting the USG stamp have been re-posted.
The group owns four plaques representing the four Kingston Trio record albums which have sold over a million copies each.
The trio will appear May 12 at 8:30 p.m. at the Miami Beach Convention Hall. Tickets may be purchased in the breezeway of the Student Union.
'University For The Student’, Says Stanford
NEW PRESIDENT EAGER TO BE HERE
By HENRY KING STANFORD
I am delighted that your editor has given me this opportunity to send you greetings. But I wish that it were possible for us to have a friendly chat instead of this vicarious introduction by printer’s ink.
You probably are curious about me, and frankly I am quite curious to know what you are like. Our curiosities will be satisfied once I can leave my duties here and settle down among you. In the meantime, I hasten to say to all of you how complimented I feel over the high honor which the trustees have conferred upon me, how exciting I regard this challenge of leadership, and how humbled I am by the weight of its responsibilities.
For me, students constitute the ralmon d'etre of the university. That’s perhaps a sophisticated way of repeating an old bromide that the university exists for
students. I really believe it.
Someone has said that you could have a university without any students. In one sense this is true, if you think of only one of the functions of the university, namely, research. For example, there is the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton (independent of Princeton University) and All Souls College at Oxford where there are no undergraduate students enrolled, only distinguished researchers surrounded by a band of fellows. A university without students, however, would be a pretty dull place for me.
I hope that in spite of the complexity of the University of Miami, some way can be found for me to meet with student groups fairly regularly. Talking with students seems to recharge my spiritual batteries. Your enthusiasm is always so infectious that I find myself catching it when exposed.

Whenever I think of students, I think of motivation. Why are you in college?, is a question I ask continuously. To put it another way, what does college mean to you?
Of course, I have known students in my career who looked upon the campus as a kind of matrimonial bureau. Also, we all know that being able to recite college attendance in our biographical data enhances the luster of any marriage announcement or obituary notice. We might as well recognize, too, that prospective employers no longer are interested in what high school' you attended, but rather the college where you graduated. Some students come to college because of parental pressures. Job techniques and pre-professional training are the goals of others.
Now these motives are not necessarily bad. I cannot think of a better place to find a wife or a husband (Cont on Page 2, Col. 1)
