Brian Connair ACADEMICS tringent entrance re- quirements coupled with strict academic standards created a highly competitive atmosphere in which Miami students re- volved. The Miami stu- dent body was unique in that its standards for per- sonal achievement were comparatively higher than students from other Ohio schools. Degree requirements and grade point mini- mums were different for each school within the X University. Each student felt the pressure for self- improvement and how their individual achieve- ments would impress a future employer. The results were ob- vious. Miami was ranked in the top ten of the na- tionis business schools, had one of the few ap- plied science schools and was bestowed with a highly acclaimed pulp and paper technology curriculum. Miami had earned a fine reputation: the Yale of the Midwest. D Dan Davenport Opening 9

o Immg Glenn L ALUMNI iamiis future was secured by the in- terests and donations of its devoted alumni. Graduates developed a unique bond to Mother Miami as they reflected upon the results of their industrious labors and personal growth gained throughout their under- graduate experience. Homecoming week- ends offere alum- ni an opportunity to re- live their college days. In 1914, the first Alumni Homecoming included a soccer game and a cross-country race pre- ceding the football match with Denison. Seventy years later, Homecoming was cele- brated in much the same way. Reunions during tailgate parties preceded the football game against Kent State at the new sports complex. Alumni swarmed the campus displaying their devotion in the traditional Miami colors: red and white. D Bryan Struhar Opening
