Its foundation was laid in 1792, where, while the Ohio Valley was almost an untrodden wilderness, the Congress of the United States reserved a tract of land to be located between the two Miami Rivers, to be devoted to the support of an institution of learning. This tract was located by the State legislature in the year 1803, and consisted of a township in Butler County, Ohio. In 1809 the legislature passed an act establishing the University. ' The whole country, at that time, was heavily forested and almost a wilderness, and consequently the advance of population was slow, so that the year 1816 had come before the Hrst school of the University was opened. The University proper was organized in 1824., and the first class graduated in 1826. From the beginning Miami University stood for thoroughness and high standards, and drew into its classes a high order of talent, which explains why there are so many distinguished members in its alumni, viz.: the great Wat Governors of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois; Ex-President Harrison, Prof. David Swing, Sam Galloway, Hon. Whitelaw Reid, William Dennison, Caleb B. Smith, John W. Noble, Theophilus Dickey, BentonJ. Hall, Murat Halstead, Dr. W. C. Gray, Bishop John Walden, and many others. Such was the influence of the college, direct cn' indirect, that Ohio was for a time the leading State in the Union in the number and ability of her generals, jurists, legislators, diplomats, craters, educators, ministers, lawyers K and physicians. In fact, Miami graduates have tilled every important part in the country's service from the President down. What Miami has done for the country in a past generation, she in now doing for the future. She stands for equal develoPment and diseipiine of the mental and moral, at well as the phyeical powars, thus perfecting the highest type of manhood. The magnificent campus of sixty-Five acres is studded here and there by its splendid buildings, such as Brice Scientific Hall, furnished with the most modern apparatus and facilities for teaching science; Herron Gymnasium, equipped with all the latest and most improved gymnastic contrivances. The Main Building, which is 250 feet long, includes the beautiful chapel, recitation rooms and oHices, and the two dormitories for young men, which have recently been fitted up with all the latest improvements. The Library occupies a part of the second floor of the Main Building and consists of some 10,000 volumes, among which many rare 0ch editions may be found. The three departments of the University, the Academy, the Normal School, and the College of Liberal Arts, afford all the advantages obtainable at the best universities of the land. While the advantages of learning at Miami are of the highest quality, it is possible to obtain them at a moderate expense, as the tuition is free and the cost of living reasonable.
