The University of Miami's Ibis yearbook made its debut in 1927 at the end of the University's first year. In the foreword of the first yearbook, the strength and spirit of those pioneering students rang out: "We have traditions to follow, no precedents to guide us in our venture into the realms of education.... We are constructing this yearbook for the purpose of making permanent record of accomplishments of our first year." The Ibis has been published annually since that first year and has grown considerably. The most recent volume of the Ibis was 488 full color pages, and created by staff of nearly forty.The Ibis is the official yearbook of the University of Miami. It strives to provide an objective and accurate account of the academic year's events, news, and trends, while representing the experiences of the student body within a professional, well-designed publication. The Ibis will provide for its staff practical experience in journalism while working in a fast- paced, deadline-oriented environment.The same basic legal rights and responsibilities govern the collegiate press as the professional one. Collegiate journalists have the right guaranteed in the First Amendment to free expression, insofar as published items do not contain libel or obscenity, invade the privacy of individuals, incite or violate the laws of copyright, or violate community standards of appropriateness.With the right to freedom of expression comes an obligation to the highest ideals of the journalistic profession. These include responsibility, independence, sincerity, truthfulness, accuracy, impartiality, and decency. Good taste should be exercised in all content.The Ibis is a showcase of extraordinary people leading extraordinary college lives. A virtual and actual true account of the good, the bad and everything in between to illustrate students as they appear in their natural environment.
