N. Edd Miller served as chancellor and then president of the University of Nevada, Reno, from 1965 to 1973, a crucial and exciting period. During his tenure, the university underwent important changes in administrative structure, launched a building program that altered the face of the campus, and suffered many of the pangs of student and racial unrest that afflicted higher education nationwide at that time. Yet, the students at Reno also honored their president in a rare display of esteem and affection on "N. Edd Miller Day." Dr. Miller's account of his years as president is thus vital for understanding a watershed era.

N. Edd Miller's Presidential Memoir is the first volume in a series of memoirs of former presidents of the University of Nevada, Reno.
