Now and then he,d stand in the breezeway over- looking the lake, alone in the early morning, and ponder about his University. About how it began, its fight and survival, its future. As held stand there, watching the morning shadows disappear, he planned. Dr. Ashe built the University of Miami. His agile mind helped lay the bricks and hammer the nails, and his indomitable courage spurred it over several seem- ingly insurmountable hurdles. Then, when it was com- pleted, he opened its doors and filled it with a full measure of his own unquenchable spirit. He was the heart of the University for 26 years, nurturing it, guiding it, living with it and for it. Christ- mas was only nine days away when he died, at the age of 67. There was considerable alarm as well as despond- ency at the shocking news. Few could picture the University without him at the helm. But Dr. Ashe had charted his course quite plainly. It was an easy one to follow. Bowman Ashe was restless as a boy, dynamic as a man. Genius as a president.
