319:. Its construction was completed in 1961. With the dedication of Culler Hall on Sunday, January 29, 1961, John B. Whitlock (Chairman of Building and Grounds Committee for the board of trustees) presented Culler Hall as a new building with classrooms and laboratories dedicated to the study of mathematics, physics, and aeronautics. Built from 1959 to 1961, Culler Hall construction warranted the cutting down of around 60 trees (many of which were very old and found to be dying from within upon removal). The clearing of these trees led to the creation of the protected Bishop Woods. In October 1957, then president of Miami University, Dr.

This warranted 8 inches more for each floor, creating a necessary amount of about $ 43,000 more for the project. The center of the U-shaped structure had an impressive glass front entrance showing off the

With the creation of the
Armstrong Student Center, Culler Hall was renovated and included into this new project. As part of Phase 2 of the student center's construction, the physics department moved into the renovated Kreger Hall. Renovation of Culler Hall was the last step in the process of fusing

February 13, 1998, the Miami University Remote Astronomy Laboratory (MURAL) found a home on the newly renovated rooftop of Culler Hall. The laboratory includes an observatory dome. A $ 15,000 US gift from two Miami Alums Carol and Hall Crannell combined with a $ 14,000 US grant from the 1996

Culler was also the author of several books, including: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd editions of Book of
Physiology (1904), First Book in Physics (1905), High School Book of Physics (1906), General Physics for Colleges, Mechanics and Heat (1909), Electricity, Electromagnetic Waves and Sounds (1913), and

Culler died on May 18, 1937, from cumulative radium burns sustained during his extensive research of radium conducted both before and after his retirement from Miami
University. The cause of his death led many to consider him as a “martyr to his science.”

Culler was born on a farm in Wayne County, Ohio, on March 5, 1858, to
Michael and Barbara Culler. In 1887 he married Isabella Carnes. He lived in Oxford, OH, from 1903 until his death in 1937. He was a Presbyterian and a Republican.
