Old Main Miami U. survives struggle: celebrates one hundred fifty years of growth and service The i5Oth birthday of a university is noteworthy anywhere, but in a country as young as ours it is an outstanding achievement for a school of higher learning to firmly establish itself when the nation is rapidly advancing from a land of wilderness to a world povver. For one hundred and fifty years Miami has hosted the changing lives of its students. Humid summer, vvhere fields were formerly hand-plowed under a broiling sun, novv sees our multitude of students laughing, playing, Working. Suddenly it is Indian Summer. Where once saddled horses trod over multi-colored leaves, the foot prints are novv made by saddle shoes. Then the leaves are covered with snovv. Winter is here. The early strug- gle for mortal survival is replaced by the struggle of students to survive examinations, or to keep vvarm while watching a football game. But then comes spring, where warm winds once matured 0xford's crops to ripeness, they novv bring graduation-the maturation of young men and women into leaders. Thus Miami University has watched over the changing seasons, lives and eras of America. And our l5Oth birthday is but the beginning. Sesquicentennial 4 . . . Student Life 20 . . .
