I ln the early days of Coral Gables, sporty autos were parlced on Coral Way while sports fans got World Series results. I927 VIEW of Ponce de Leon Blvd. shows complete First National Bank, but other construction was still spotty. i948 VIEW of Ponce de Leon Blvd. shows how Coral Gab- les grew in 2l years. Post war years were the best. City. University The University is dependent on the community. It draws many students from Greater Miami. Its activities are inter-linked. It shares the same prospects of growth and usefulness. The history of the past two decades is not one of isolated development-with the University off to one side. The fortunes of both went in double harness. The home city of Coral Gables and the University were born twins. The school received its charter three Weeks ahead of the city, but the city had the head start in build- ing. Since then they have swapped favors-an education for Coral Gables children, a friendly and beautiful setting for the University. Occasionally someone grumbles that the University is named for the parent city of Miami. Wfhy not the University of Coral Gables? At the gate- ways stand signs to soothe these feelings, reading: 4'The University of Miami at Coral Gablesf, Architeeturally the University has broken with its 1 'rslsgg -. , X K.

University of Miami dedication ceremonies. Thousands gathered on Coral Way to watch festivities of Gables Progress Week. plete from land Where the mother raccoon, only resident pedagogue to date, was teaching her young to scrub their faces and watch out for hawks. Merrick pledged 34. million in cash and 160 acres on the outskirts of Coral Gables. A realtor offered S1 mil- lion for a building to the memory of William Jennings Bryan. Another enthusiast pledged a conservatory of music. A Board of Regents was formed, a State Charter granted. ln the spring of 1926 the framework of the first building was dedicated in a fanfare of optimism. Nine months later the boom had broken, the pledges were impossible to fulfill, a hurricane had turned the proud young Magic City into a welter of torn trees, beached boats and broken hopes. The University opened on schedule that fall-not on aan artificial hill 200 feet high, which will be the highest spot in Dade County -but in an unfinished abandoned hotel. Pupils who were to woo the muse in ducal splendor whipped together an orchestra in the resounding corridors of the uCardboard Collegef' Somehow the Miami idea of superimposing a full-fledged community on a pioneer one had backfired. Ahead of the new University of Miami was a decade of recurring crises which can only he summed up as pioneering in the roughest sense. And perhaps that was all to the good. The important ideas had been there from the be- ginning . . . a college of Pan-American scope which would use the location at the crossroads of the Americas for an interchange of students, learning, good-will. These have had continuity because the Universityis luck held in one all-important respect. Bowman Foster Ashe, who con- ceived the basic ideas in 1926, was given the chance to build them into reality. 27 NOW DEFUNCT Daily Tab gave a full page one coverage to University plans.

.K be l fa 9 54 Miami's Skeleton Skyline of I925, etched against the tropical cloud formations, was developed into a Magic City. , e Grew A Twins neighbors. Coral Gables and Miami generally retained the Mediterranean type homes which Old World warm countries have always cherished. ' The University, given a fresh start in 1946, chose for its main campus the brilliant airy effects of functional modern. Perhaps the stylistic difference merely points up separate functions. K Greater Miami has families to rear, civic duties, an international future to whittle out of the raw materials .v of trade and diplomacy. The University has its specialized field of training men and women for a world in which clean, hard lines of 7g action are in critical demand. Along with which it must - preserve and pass on the culture of the past. Here the cogs between college and community mesh smoothly- in symphony concerts, the living theater, seminars, lectures, art shows, radio and television, and mental guidance. mm g -Y H I CORAL WAY, in I927, boasted a bank at the main inter- section, with an orange grove two short bloclcs away. BRAIN TRUST of Coral Gables development was encased in Spanish grandeur. After the bust, Sam's Taxi moved in. 8.-IJ Post war building produced a functional style of con- struction, but entrance recalls the days of the boom.
