DR. STANFORD PLEDGES ENTHUSIASM AND In announcing his acceptance to the press, Dr. ENERGY TO ADVANCEMENT OF UM'S WELFARE Stanford issued the following statement: "I am tremendously complimented and yet awed by the responsibility and the authority which the Trustees of the University of Miami have placed in me. I promise to mobilize all the enthusiasm and energy I possess in working with the trustees, faculty, students, alumni and friends of the University to advance its welfare. "The great metropolis of Miami deserves and needs a great university. I congratulate all who have contributed to its remarkable growth and development thus far. Resting on laurels however is a precarious perch. We must now join hands to bring the University to a level of greater academic distinction. "A university is a precious institution. It is really a trustee of the legacy of civilization. It discharges this trust in two closely related activities: discovery and dissemination — or research and teaching. The human intellect and the human spirit become within the mine of the university at once both pick axe and lode, both instrument and raw material. "I challenge all members of the communities of Town and Gown to help me develop the University of Miami into a veritable mine of intellectual resource and activity."

PRESIDENT-ELECT SENDS SPECIAL MESSAGE In addition to his statement to the press, Dr. TO FACULTY AND ALL MEMBERS OF UM FAMILY Stanford has a special word for the UM faculty and all members of the UM family, via VERITAS, as follows: "I am eager to meet with the deans and faculties of the several schools and colleges and to explore with them the needs and opportunities of each unit. "I consider the two main responsibilities of a university president to be leadership and coordination. The president must offer leadership in bringing trustees and faculty to a joint consideration and a joint determination of what an institution must stand for, be and seek to accomplish. He must provide leadership to develop a definition of purpose and commitment. "Organization in a university defines the responsibility of each individual in the common enterprise. Sometimes the preoccupation of individuals with their own specialties whirls them out of the common orbit. Then they must be brought back into their proper place in the enterprise. This is what I mean by the president's responsibility for coordination."
