A PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT DAYTON CAMPUS, 1964 I n September 1964, Miami University and the Ohio State University will offer a full-time day pro­ gram of freshman and some sophomore college studies on the new Dayton Campus. The part-time programs of the two universities, which will continue in 1964 on the Dayton Campus, may be used to fill out a four­ year degree schedule in some fields and to expand into graduate studies, thus anticipating the full-scale uni­ versity education toward which the Dayton Campus is building. Although the campus and the buildings will be completely new, the expanded educational pro­ gram simply carries the interest and efforts of both universities in the Dayton area toward their natural fulfillment. As early as 1926 Miami University began offering courses to students in Dayton. In the early years extension work led an itinerant hand-to-mouth exist­ ence, first in the old YMCA, then in the old Central School. In the 1950's course offerings were expanded, organized into definite programs, and institutional­ ized into an Academic Center with a minimal admin­ istration, faculty, and facilities. In 1962 there were over fifteen hundred students enrolled in the one hun­ dred courses of the Dayton Academic Center. Immediately after the Second World War, 1946, the Ohio State University first offered to the personnel of the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base graduate courses in science and engineering and business organ­ ization, with some offerings in a limited number of other areas. Classes were held in the Air Force Insti­ tute of Technology. After 1960 these courses were opened to the general public, and the Ohio State Uni­ versity moved toward a comprehensive center for graduate education in the Dayton region. By this time it had become apparent that if public higher education were to realize its potential in the upper Miami Valley, new and enlarged facilities must be provided. This region, which had from the begin­ ning given enthusiastic and effective support to the university programs, recognized the need and re­ sponded by raising three million dollars for the initial investment in a separate campus for state-assisted higher education. The result is the present Dayton Campus, where the programs of Miami University and the Ohio State University are being combined for a full-time college education during the day and for the part-time programs of the late afternoon and evening. This brochure is the preliminary description of the new full-time college program to be offered in the fall of 1964. LOCATION AND PLANT The Dayton Campus occupies 618 acres of rolling forest and meadowland in Fairborn, between old Route #4 and the Colonel Glenn Highway (Airway Road). This large holding of land provides ample space for the development of a favorable environment for higher learning and research. Access to it by car is easy, and there will be parking space initially for thirteen hundred cars. Public transportation by bus will also be available. The initial construction is Allyn Hall, named in honor of Mr. Stanley C. Allyn whose leadership as co-chairman with Mr. R. S. Oelman of the Combined University Building Fund Campaign brought forth so generous a response from the Dayton community. This structure is really a complex of three buildings joined by enclosed corridors: a one-story laboratory building, a four-story classroom and administration building, and a library that will eventually house forty thousand volumes. All rooms are air-conditioned, and careful acoustical dampening provides a quiet, untroubled atmosphere for learning. Each faculty member will have an individual study, to provide the best condi­ tions for student P.oun"lPlinf!' l'lnrl rP"lPl'lr<'h THE CHARACTER OF THE DAYTON CAMPUS Because of its setting, its background and its pur­ poses, the Dayton Campus will be a regional campus. With good fortune it should have the best of two worlds, the serenity of the country college and the stimulation of metropolitan enterprise. Its farm lands are adjacent to some of the most advanced and revo­ lutionary research in the world today at the Wright­ Patterson Air Force Base. Like all universities, however, the Dayton Campus will reflect the capabili­ ties and interests of the students who take advantage of the wide-open opportunity it seeks to provide. All these students will be commuters, since at present there is no campus housing. The students will be treated as adults-largely on their own, self-directed, and capable of managing their own lives and careers. There will be a minimum of supervision and promotion of student life. The educa­ tional importance of extra-curricular experience is fully recognized, but the Campus assumes that in its environment such experience will best develop through student initiative. The concern of the Dayton Campus is intellectual. The primary emphasis, therefore, is placed on the opportunity to pursue academic studies. The income from fees and appropriations is devoted almost ex­ clusively to instruction. The cost to the student will be kept as low as is compatible with maintaining education of high quality. THE ACADEMIC CALENDAR The school year on the Dayton Campus will be divided into three periods of fifteen weeks each, called trimesters. They should not be confused with quarters. Credit for a trimester's work will be the equivalent of semester credit. The opening date is September 7, 1964. The closing date of the first trimester will then fall on December 19. The second trimester will open on January 4, 1965 and end on April 17. Two trimesters, a traditional academic year's work, will be offered the first year, with limited course offerings in the third trimester. Students-new, transfer, and continuing­ may register for work in any term m which appro­ priate courses are offered. THE COURSE OFFERING The course offerings and curricular program of studies of the Dayton Campus follow closely the re­ quirements of Miami University and the Ohio State University on their resident campuses. For further information about either university consult their gen­ eral catalogs and the bulletins of their various colleges and schools. Credit earned on the Dayton Campus is transferrable to either university, but each division of the universities will have its special curricular require­ ments to be satisfied before graduation. THE COMMON CURRICULUM All undergraduate students of the Dayton Cam­ pus are required to complete thirty-six (36) credit hours in courses that compose the Common Curricu­ lum. The purpose of this curriculum is to provide every student with an understanding of man's intel­ lectual heritage and the extent of accumulated knowl­ edge. This is the base for advanced and specialized curriculums. In the Common Curriculum one course is com­ pulsory for all students: English composition and lit­ erature. Beyond this the student has a choice of courses within four required areas of study: two one­ year courses (12 credit hours) in the social sciences, one one-year course (6 credit hours) in the physical sciences, one one-year course (6 credit hours) in the life sciences, and one one-year course (6 credit hours) in the humanities. Normally the student is expected to take three Common Curriculum courses in the freshman year and three in the sophomore year, but there are variations in specialized curriculums that may make other arrangements of program necessary. SPECIALIZED AND ADVANCED CURRICULUMS. For a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in Arts and Science a student will usually need, beyond the Common Curriculum, six additional credit hours in the humanities, three more in the social sci­ ences, six more in logic, mathematics, advanced com­ position, or speech, and fourteen more in a foreign language, together with studies in depth within a field of concentration. In Education the student preparing to teach in elementary schools will need such additional profes­ sional courses as art education, mathematics and arithmetic for elementary school teachers, children's lit~rature , elementary music, language arts, educa­ tional organization, and practice teaching. He will also take within the Common Curriculum psychology and physical science courses specifically designed for teachers. The Cadet Teaching Certificate may be obtained by taking a specialized two-year program on the Dayton Campus, but a four-year program in ele­ mentary education is recommended. The program of studies for secondary education will include, beyond professional requirements, concentration in some depth in such fields as English, history, social studies, language, mathematics, or science. In Business Administration the freshman and sophomore student will add to the Common Curricu­ lum courses in accountancy, the principles of modern business and mathematics, together with non-profes­ sional electives. Junior and senior students will con­ centrate heavily in such special fields as accountancy, economics, finance and banking, industrial manage­ ment, marketing, or general business. In Science and Engineering freshman and sopho­ more students, either to fulfill the pre-professional re­ quirements for engineering study or to establish the foundation for further work in the sciences, will pur­ sue similar curricular programs. The pre-engineering discipline is highly concentrated and taxing: two years of mathematics beginning with calculus; two years of chemistry; one year of engineering drawing; one year of physics; and one term of engineering mechanics.
