Miami University has a plethora of traditions. Do you know all of them?
In 1929, Myrion Timothy “Tuffy” Potter opened his own business, Tuffy’s Sandwich Shop, which was a popular campus gathering spot for generations of Miami students until it closed in 1973. The standard fare included Coke, coffee, hamburgers, ice cream, and Tuffy’s specialty: Toasted Rolls. A combination of sugared rolls flavored with a special spread and warmed on a unique grill, these rolls are still sold at Pulley Diner in the Armstrong Student Center.
