UM has achieved much recognition since her birth in 1925. The student population has in- creased voluminously; no longer does she serve only the young peo- ple of the Greater Miami area. Its unique location strongly promoted inter-American friendship. Our re- search program in scientific and technical problems of the tropics has contributed greatly to the world outside our campus. UM laboratories have become centers of experiment and discovery. Scholastic standards have ad- vanced considerably since UM was first conceived as a university. Containing eight schools and col- leges within its realm, aside from the newly formed University Col- lege, UM is constantly advancing towards higher academic and edu- cational goals in attempts to pro- vide students with the best possible education.

The relationship which exists between the UM campus and the communi- ty is strong for independence is equal, dependence is mutual, and obligation is reciprocal. But UM may also be considered a city in itself. Its various and numerous personalities form a community. It serves as a resi- dential area, as a schoolroom for the attainment of a well-rounded education, as a restaurant, as a resort for recreation. It is a com- munity of light, of liberty, of learning. And as a community, it possesses common understanding, a common tradition, common ideas, and common ideals.
