NNOUNCEMENET is made that tlio fondest hopes of Iuiami’.i best prsp'.e arc about to be realized, and that a great open-air University to bo known as the University of Mlsmi will, In the very near future, be an actual
fact. The University will be one of the largest and finest in this country, cupuble of amply providing for the needs of 6,000 students. It will cost approximately $16,000,000, of which sufficient endowments have al
ready been secured to insure its successful accomplishments. . ^
The University will be built upon a fine IG0-acre tract of land located in the Riviera Section of Coral Gables. This splendid tract has been dedicated for all time to the University by George E. Merrick, whose
generous gift of $6,000,000 to the University of Miami assures its success.
The charter for the University of Miami was granted by Judge Henry F. Atkinson of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida -i
on April 6, 1926. j
The University of Miami begins its career with prospects of the brightest and with assurances of success which not many seats
of learning in America have ever enjoyed. Miami entertains hundreds of thousands of the country’s best people every winter.
They come here — many of them — with regrets for the children who remain behind. They will come in future with aone
and daughtera who will take up their studies here, and complete the education which will prepare them for life. Thia demand
for advanced education is, however, only one of the needs which will be met by the University of Miami.
The ever-increasing demands for higher education in Southern Florida will not be longer denied. This ever-growing, most pros
perous of all sections, larger in area than many States, must have its seat of learning to balance in cultural power its magical
advance in population and wealth. As a people we are pledged to education. Schools are our fortress and defense. Taste and
culture are matters of education. Stupendous increases in bank deposits are not conwnant with real growth and prosperity un
less united and balanced by large increases in educational forces and opportuniticsr The most useful citizen in a community
is the educated man.

The countries of Central and South America have repeatedly brought forward the idea. There are reasons without number
for such a University, economic, reasons, political reasons, reasons of polity and for the perpetuation of peace and good-will be
tween, this country and oil of the nations which lie to the South. Thousands of the best young men from these countries are
matriculated now in every large college in the United States. They will came to Miami because it is nearer to home, because
the climate is much similar to that they have been accustomed to, and because they find a closer bond of sympathy here be
tween the traditions of Florida and those of their own countries.
The site for the new University chosen after most careful study and consideration of the splendid spots offered in the Miami
district, is in the new Riviera Section of Coral Gables. The sketch on this snd the map shown on the following pages show tho
noble and liberal proportions of the plan — the magnificent spread of buildings fronting on the University Lake and Campus —
midway between the great Miami-Biltmore Hotel at Coral Gabies and Cocoplum Beach — facing the proposed F. E. C. Station
and the splendid new high schotl surrounded by the inv'ting vistas of Coif Courses and waterway* — the entire setting framed
in the richest tropical planting, colorful in flowering ihrhb* and rarest trees. There are one hundred and sixty acres in the Uni
versity grounds proper, but tho actual setting for the University is in the heart of two thousand acres which will be developed
and beautified Into one of the most beautiful parks in the world.
