That funny feeling in your stomach as you crested those hills and saw the first cupolas in the distance? For most of us, coming back to campus has always evoked that nervous-excited feeling. Whether it was anxiety about an upcoming exam or the thrill of seeing friends again, returning home to Oxford is a unique feeling. This time there should be no anxiety, only excitement. Alumni Weekend is a time to renew acquaintances and to let the memories flood back. It is a time to reconnect with a place you once called home, and to discover anew why Miami is the perfect place to grow and learn. It is a weekend to have fun, to learn, and to celebrate with others our shared Miami experience. So take full advantage of your time. Enjoy the company of friends you see too infrequently. Spend time back in the classroom with Miami’s outstanding professors. Visit your favorite campus spots. And when you head out of town, recall that other familiar feeling – a tinge of regret at leaving, but confidence that Miami will always be here, ready to welcome you home. Have a wonderful weekend!

  • Inaugural Power Point
    Miami Presidents From 1810 to the Present Day Miami University Archives Joseph Van Horne Miami’s First President? 1810 Robert Bishop is generally considered Miami’s first president. However, between Miami’s chartering in 1809 and opening in 1824, the Board of Trustees normally appointed a “President” to preside over meetings and act, on occasion, as a quasi-executive officer. Records of the period typically refer to “The President and Board of Trustees of Miami University,” implying that they were separate entities. This is an excerpt from the minutes of the 1810 Board meeting, which named Joseph Van Horne as Miami’s first “President”. Robert H. Bishop 1824-1841 SSccoottttiishsh PPreresbsbyytteeririaann ddiivviinnee RRoobbeertrt HH.. BBiishshoopp bbeeccaammee MMiiaammii’’ss ppreresisiddeenntt iinn 11882244..

John McArthur President Pro Tem 1844-1845 Unfortunately, no pictures or paintings of McArthur are known to exist. This is a copy of an 1848 student resolution urging McArthur to remain at Miami. Erasmus MacMaster 1845-1849 Erasmus MacMaster was at the head of the class when it came to memory power. Contemporaries agreed that MacMaster could easily recall the most minute details of discussions and meetings long past, and effortlessly recite entire literary works from memory. William C. Anderson 1849-1854 One of Miami’s most successful executives, Anderson reversed the dramatic decline in enrollment that had occurred under Junkin and MacMaster.
