“I graduated from Miami of Ohio in 1992. I'd say one of the reasons why I am here, standing and talking in the well of the House of Representatives, is because of the lessons that I learned at Miami of Ohio. The things that shaped me there, the economics degree, the political science degree. In fact, one of my early involvements in politics was working as a college Republican, working door-to-door for a new person running for Congress by the name of John Boehner. This is the bicentennial of Miami of Ohio. Two-hundred years of history. Founded in 1809. It's a school with such a rich history and proud tradition of top academic and athletic achievement. It's consistently ranked as one of the best schools in the country. It's a public university, referred to as one of the 'public Ivys,' ranking in the tops in business schools, arts and sciences, and architecture, and all other rounds of academic nature. One of the great things about Miami is its beauty, its aesthetics. It's one of the most beautiful campuses in America.”
