n 1965 the University of Miami had just recently become racially integrated, the number of minority students in the school at the time was shock- ingly low. Female students faced a nightly curfew, and the international student programs were all but nonexistent. This was the school at which Dr. William Butler began his tenure. Thirty-two years later, Dr. Butler can only smile as he speaks of the changes that the University has undergone during his years here. The University is barely reminiscent of what it was back in the sixties. Dr. Butler saw a campus divided back in the sixties, with students trying to bring change by destroying the estab- lishment. His tenure at the university has seen participation in volunteer activities rise from but six percent of the students to a whopping fifty-one per- cent. ' Imagine a campus with no stu- dent union, no wellness center, no Rathskeller. Without Dr. Butler that may very well be the case. He has spent his tenure trying to make the students lives as easy and enjoy- able as possible. His inspiration was essential to the Story By Rich Epstein Dedication 4 Photos By William Lai creation of these facilities, but he refuses to take cred- it. He instead points to the people that surround him, his staff in the Student Affairs office, and insists that they deserve the credit. Even if that is true, it can be no coincidence that for thirty-two years greatness has found its way to his office. In 1973 no university gave full scholarships to women athletes. Dr. Butler was instrumental in changing that. Dr. Butler is retiring this year. At the age of sev- enty, and after having served in higher education for fifty years, he feels it is time to step down. He has, however, graciously agreed to stay on at the uni- versity, in a more relaxed role, in order -., to ease the transition. He will continue ' to give his guidance to the international programs as well as to alumni affairs. Walking around campus without the sight of Dr. Butler's orange and green tie will be hard to get used to. Everywhere we look on campus we can see his influ- ence. We will surely miss his spirit. Dr. Butler only has one message for the stu- dents after his retirement, Just keep on doing good things. Just keep on doing good things Dr. Butler
