VILLAGE. i years ago Old Miami was born. Nurtured in the forests of a pioneer country, the college grew, and has continued to progress and expand. Looking from the Miami of 1934, in retrospect, there is a rich and extensive traditional past. .NE HUNDRED AND TWENTYeFIVE i The only true and accurate manner of depicting such a past is through the reenactment of those hisd toric days through the medium of pageantry. The staff of this Anniversary Recensio has selected this means of telling the story of Miami University, and through the use of modern photography, it is possid ble to reproduce our epic in a realistic light. The frontispiece presents a modern couple recalling the life of the Miami Campus from 18094934. The century and a quarter of Miami history being natural- 1y divided into five periods, the teXt and illustration of these periods have been used to introduce the five sections of the 1934 Recensio. A portrayal of the signing of the land grant by George Washington, t1794i Which gave certain lands to the state of Ohio to be used for the founding of an educational institution, has been used for the Univer- sity section. From 1841 to 1866 student activities rapidly deg veloped and literary societies flourished. This period drew to a close With the pre-war excitement and cone fusion. We have used this era to introduce the Acti- Vity section.
