From its start in the nineteenth century as a small midwestern college to its transformation into a twenty-first-century
international university, Miami University has stood for two centuries as a model of public higher education. With hundreds of illustrations and contributions from many hands, "Miami University, 1809-2009: Bicentennial Perspectives" reviews how national social forces and academic culture interacted in the college town of Oxford, Ohio, yielding five different eras of campus life over two hundred years. This special bicentennial book celebrating one of Ohio''s premier universities considers how Miami leaders responded to moments of conflict, controversy, and change, and how lasting achievements emerged from unexpected challenges.
