Dedication The University of New Mexico, possibly more than any other institution in the country, exemphfies that spirit which the United Nations is trying so hard to spread throughout the world. The wide representation of the various races, the spirit of friendship and cooperation, and the fusion of the three cultures, Indian, Mexican, and Spanish, all make the University a place to study in cultural and democratic achievement, living in the happy and free expression of ideals, and finding it wholesome. Among the faculty members, one person stands out above all others as the personification of these ideals. A relatively new member of the faculty, having come here three years ago, he has already earned the respect ami admiration of his fellow workers, as well as the friendship of the student body. He received his B.A. in Havana, and two Doctor ' s degrees at that University. He was born in Havana in 1902, but is now a permanent resident of the United States. Author of 9 books, with two more being prepared, he is a well known writer, and among his more promi- nent distinctions, he lists his articles on Spain and Portugal for the New International Year Book. It is difficult to express the things he stands for at the Uni- versity because they represent the intangible qualities which enrich the character and improve the mind. In acknowledgment of his great contribution to our life at the University, the editors sincerely dedicate the 1948 Mirage to Dr. Miguel Jorrin.
