Appreciation for the Miami Campus in Oxford
Since our arrival in Oxford in 1981, my wife and I have spent
many hours enjoying the beautiful campus of Miami University.
As we walk in the Western College area, through the core academic
quad on the old historic campus, or along the many nature paths
to the south and east of the campus we give thanks to the visionary
leaders from 1809 to the present for their wisdom and intelligent
caring for the ambiance of these University settings.
Important in the development of these lovely grounds are the preservation
and protection of the magnificent trees, the beautiful vistas
of grass, and the many beds of flowers and shrubs. The planners
have designed the buildings and their locations so that there
are beautiful scenes all over campus. It was Robert Frost who said that the
Miami Campus is the prettiest campus there ever
was! Parents have come to know that if they bring a prospective
student to see the University, they must be prepared for their
student to matriculate at Miami.
 Walking the many paths around campus affords good exercise, allows
you time to think through and solve important problems, improves
your knowledge about plants and animals, and provides an opportunity
to stop and talk to new and old friends.
Now as you walk the campus and appreciate its beauty, we hope you will help us keep it
clean and beautiful for others to enjoy for years to come.
