DR. STANFORD LEADS DISCUSSION IN HIS HONORS DEPARTMENT CLASS The President This was Dr. Henry King Stanford's senior year at the University of Miami. Chronologically, it was his fourth as university president. Abstractly, it was the year he made the final changes in his administrative chain and turned full emphasis to making the university's ren- dezvous with greatness a reality. The student body said it all last year when they presented to him on his 49th birthday the following statement: 'lOn this the twenty-second day of April of the year 1965, we the students of the University of Miami wish to extend to Dr. Henry King Stanford, University President, best wishes on his birthday. It is not only birthday salutations we extend, but the sincere appreciation of every student-epast, pres- ent and futureefor taking this school far along the path of respect and growth, for treating each and every member of the student body as an individual, for be- lieving in the faculty. administration and student popu- lace, and for attending to all aspects of university Iife-academic, extra-curricular, and socialewith re- spect and care. We thank President Stanford for leading us, and we wish him the best not only today but on all days in the future. Under his hand the $93 million Golden Anniversary Development has become a reality. The student body has risen to the challenge of the university's growth and improved its organizations and its government. The faculty has provided the students with an ever- increasing challenge to produce. Before coming to the university as president, Dr. Stanford was an instructor at Emory University, an assistant professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, an instructor at New York University and director of the school of public administration at the University of Denver. His first college presidency was at Georgia South- western College, in Americus, Georgia from 1948 to 1950. For the next two years he was director of the University Center in Georgia and then assistant chan- cellor of the University System of Georgia. In 1953, Dr. Stanford began a three year term as president of the Georgia State College for Women, Midgeville. He spent a year in 1956 as chief of party at the New York University-lnternational Cooperation Admin- istration Contract in Ankara, Turkey. He went back to collegeeBirmingham Southern Collegeein 1957 and served as its president until 1962, when he came to Miami as president. And so, four years later, having assembled his four generals-Eugene Cohen, vice president and treasurer; Donald Stophlet, vice president for development; Armin H. Gropp, vice president for academic affairs, and Dr. William R. Butler, vice president for student affairs- Dr. Stanford moves out onto the battlefield of the academe as chief of staff to wage war on those things which might keep the University of Miami from its appointment on the educational summit.
