The Oxford Female Institute was affiliated with the Presbyterian Church and its first president was John Witherspoon Scott, father of first lady Caroline Harrison who graduated from the college in 1853. When John Scott's family moved from Cincinnati to Oxford, daughter Carrie's boyfriend, Benjamin Harrison, transferred from Cary's Academy in Cincinnati to Miami University to be near her. The college was later known as Oxford College and Oxford College for Women. Miami University assumed ownership of the school in 1928 and used the building, commonly known as "Ox College" as a women's residence for more than sixty years. The building is now an arts center for the community of Oxford.
