I wonder how we can get the meeting moved to Miami, Florida... Who did
they say wrote the grants for OAIRP?... This sounds like a great idea
for a grant proposal (especially today my office is freezing)

Whew!!! I have to say it was really interesting and answered
questions
I've always had about Miami University, etc.
Of course, the idea of the April meeting in Miami, FL is REALLY
appealing! Not practical, but appealing, nonetheless!

I have to add my 2-cents here to set the record straight for the
newcomers and uninitiated...... In Ohio the institution is named:
"Miami
University." In Florida it is named: "University of Miami." Miami
University is public. University of Miami is a private institution.
Miami University is a strong academic institution University of Miami
is
.... well ... can you say "football?"
Miami University was named after the Miami Indian tribe who populated
this region of the continent in the late 1700's and early 1800's
(Miami
University was chartered in 1809). Miami still maintains a treaty
and
excellent relationship with the tribe, now headquartered in Miami,
Oklahoma, and Chief Leonard's son is a distinguished member of our
faculty. By the way, the Miami's, whose land at one time included
parts
of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin as well as Ohio, founded
a
settlement on Lake Michigan, which is today the location of Chicago.
Some years after Miami University was chartered in 1809, two gentlemen
from Dayton, OH made a trip south to explore a peninsula of land that
divided the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea. They founded a
settlement on the southeastern shore and named it after their beloved
Miami Valley and the Little Miami River of their native Dayton - they
called it "Miami." And thus the confusion began. So we were a
university before Florida was even a state, but the sportscasters
append
"...of Ohio" to our name whenever they mention it to distinguish us
from
the football powerhouse in Florida, which has a different name to
begin
with anyway
Probably more information than anyone needs,
Happy Thanksgiving,
Ralph

Normally when you hear "Miami University" you as well as others
fans...automatically think...FLORIDA!
Well...here in Ohio we too have a "Miami University". So, to
distinguish between them
sportcasters use the "Miami University in Ohio"
p.s. I know you don't really need to hear this

As the newest member to OAIRP (and a native Floridian who's about to
go
through her first Ohio winter) let me say that I'd love to visit
Miami!
Although the whole "Miami University" in Ohio still confuses me...
