Miami Middletown's past made present: the deed to the campus and a rock concert

 

Two recent additions to our First to 50: Miami University Middletown Digital Archive:

• A copy of the deed passing the land that became our campus from the Armco Foundation to the President and Trustees of Miami University on December 30, 1963. It notes that the land is given in exchange for $1.00, and is to be used for "educational purposes only."

• A collection of a newspaper story and two memos about a rock concert held on the Middletown campus on May 30, 1971, and called, in the newspaper story, "MUMSTOCK."  2500-3500 people enjoyed a long afternoon of tunes by Country Joe and the Fish and Edgar Winter, as well as local acts.

These items were discovered in the Gardner-Harvey Library's archival materials, and digitized for easy access through our digital archive.

Many more interesting document, photos, and videos are available from the history and community of Ohio's first regional campus!
