During the war. Dr. Pearson contributed his share as an instructor in the Army Air Force Officer Candidate Schools here in Miami Beach, North Carolina, and Texas. The American Urban Universities Association, having nationally recognized Dr. Pearson for his UM leadership, has elected him as President of the Association. Taking over the responsibilities as President of the Uni- versity of Miami in 1953. Dr. Pearson was filled with hope for a promising future. And this hope has seen fulfillment. hether Dr. Pearson is off on a flight to some point of the globe, or seeking to raise funds for UM, he is a distinguished gentleman building relations for UM. Dr. Pearson is also constantly busy keeping everyone happy, from the time he greets new students at the fall convocation, through the meeting of the Board of Trustees, to the issuing of diplomas to seniors every commencement. By keeping the level of progress high, Dr. Pearson has been the guiding spirit of expansion at UM. Dr. Jay F. W.
