7l0ll'l'l'S . . . A II Arvlz If you approach Oxford at night you will undoubtedly see the lighted cupola of Upham hall which shines as a beacon representing the lasting lamp of education. Dedicated to the memory of Alfred H. Upham, whose devoted service to lVIiami as a student, professor, and president is unparalleled, Upham hall has lecture rooms, faculty offices, library space, and exceptional laboratory facilities. Between classes, clusters of students pause under the stately stone arch. Through many bleak Decembers and balmy Mays, lVIiami's oldest building has stood tri- umphantly in the center of the campus. Through her doors have walked young jour- nalists, hopeful lawyers and future presidents. Since Miami university opened in 1803, the two red towers of Harrison hall have stood as a monument to the ideals of higher education and the hope for the uncertain future.
