C. W. Miller’s Relationship with Trinity

In his role as chairman of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, C.W. Miller played an important role in convincing the Trinity Board of Trustees to move the university from Waxahachie to San Antonio. He continued to play a role in the university by serving on the Board of Trustees for many years, acting as its chairman from 1957-1960, and later as honorary chairman. He gave the commencement speech in the summer of 1963. Trinity also awarded him an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree, recognizing his service to the Trinity community in 1950. The university named Miller Fountain after his wife, Eugenia, after they gifted it to the university in 1966 and named Miller Residence Hall after C.W., further instilling his strong relationship and legacy with the university.
