Notes: "This study recognizes the time period of "Old Miami" as extending through the entire 75-year life of the small classical men's liberal arts college from its opening in 1824 to its Diamond Anniversary Celebration in 1899.  At the time of the Diamond Anniversary, Miamians and later historians considered "Old" Miami as ending at its closing in 1873.  However, the basic nature of the school did not change after the reopening in 1885 and the school was essentially still a small classical liberal arts college in 1899.  It was after 1900 that Miami changed markedly and became fully co-educational, multi-racial, added a second division and a summer term and was on its way to becoming a great university." --p. 1
