Graduation is a time of many transitions. One transition we’re very aware of this time of year at Miami is\u00a0the transition from student to alumna\/alumnus.<\/p>\n

Here in the Miami University Libraries we are already planning for Alumni Weekend, coming up June 19-22. In Special Collections and at the Archvies we will welcome alumni back with some extended hours and special exhibits – more on that to come.<\/p>\n

The quiet of an Oxford summer will be enlivened by the return of a diverse population – young and old, men and women, scholars, business people, teachers, lawyers, scientists, artists, mothers, fathers, grandparents, great-grandparents – all united by one thing: a collection of fond memories of the time they spent here as students.<\/p>\n

They will try to match their memories of the campus with the changed reality that is a living university. Some things may look the same, some very different – and some a combination of the two.<\/p>\n

The Slant Walk is one of the most iconic parts of campus. During the past 30 years the gates and the walk have not changed significantly. But look back a few decades further and the Slant Walk – at one time the Slanting Walk – had a more rural feel.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy these images from the Clyde Bowden Postcard Collection Online of an earlier Miami.<\/p>\n

And congratulations to the Class of 2014, our newest alumni. Hurry back.<\/p>\n
