ne hundred seven- ty-five years ago the Miami University was founded. The site chosen in the obscure south- western corner of Ohio, only six years old itself, was atop the hill above Four Mile Creek. One hundred seventy- five years later 15,000 students went to Miami, the school atop the hill. Eight thousand towns- people inhabitated the city of Oxford, which sur- rounded the University. Miami was proud of its heritage and took time to celebrate, a celebration which observed many changes. In 1984 Miami graduated its 145th class and more than half the graduates were women: this was not the case for the first 53 years of in- struction at Miami. in 1984 Miami took time out to reflect upon its past -- a heritage rep- resenting .175 years of excellence.

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
