Dr. Thur ton dams His tireless enthusiam builds spirit HStudent morale, esprit de corps, university spirit-attitudes that flow from a sum of satisfying experiencesfi these were results that Dr. Adams set out to achieve as Director of Student Activities in l94.7. And in three whirlwind years Hllocn has become a campus institution, guiding a vastly swollen student body, disorganized and without bene- fit of tradition, to a remarkable degree of unity. Many works added to the sum of satisfying experiencesw that brought a first real expression of student spirit this year. And if Doc,s ollice is the center of these works, his electric personality is their guiding spirit. Tireless, genial, cnthusiastic, he has made usee Doc about it standard but good advice to anybody with a problem. Doc brought an impressive record with him to Miami. Born in 1905 at Pine Apple, a little town in Alabama, he lost no time in amassing a professional and educational record that requires 19 items to cover in brief outline form. He has won three degrees, those of Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Education. He has taught at Vermont, Columbia, Columbia Teachers College, Rollins and an Alabama high school. He has directed physical education activities for such diversified institutions as the Veterans Administration, the Navy, YMCA, High schools, colleges and summer camps for boys. He reached the rank of Lt. Comdr. in his Navy Service, and is a mein- her of Sigma Chi fraternity, Phi Delta Kappa, Kappa Delta Phi, Seab- bard and Blade, Kentucky Colonels. Perpetual motion is daily routine for Doc. Besides directing the campus activities of a myriad organizations, he manages the Student Club, oversees the intramural program, serves on a number of faculty committees, and makes an appearance at dozens of social activities each week. The university has only begun to realize the benefits of his tireless efforts. ln a new and malleable field, Dr. Adams is a potent force to- ward unity and pride. This edition of the lB1S is dedicated to him and to the student body for which he has done so much. 4
