Professor of Soil Science. Robert Demorest Miller grew up in Columbia, Mo., earned
a B.S. from the University of Missouri in 1940, an M.S. from the University of Nebraska
in 1941, and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1948. During 1944-1945, he served
as an air traffic and air defense controller in the Pacific in the Army Air Corps.
On August 28, 1945, he was a member of a small advance party sent to Atsugi Air Base
near Tokyo to prepare for the major American landings beginning the occupation of
Japan. Shortly after landing, he raised the first American flag over Japan, on the
radio mast of a C-47, two days before American combat troops began the actual armed
occupation. He wrote about his wartime experiences in the book: "Descent from Niitaka,
1941-1945: First Flag Over Japan." After the war, he worked at the University of California
at Berkeley, returning to Cornell in 1952 where he remained until his retirement in
1987. From 1964 to 1965, he served as assistant to the Provost Dale Corson and from
1967 to 1971 as dean of the faculty, in which position he played a role in the peaceful
resolution of the Cornell '69 crisis, remaining a lifelong friend of President James
Perkins. He is considered by his colleagues to be a "Founding Father" of soil physics.
Robert Miller died on April 11, 2011.
Collection includes personal and family materials including an "auto log" travel diary
kept by Miller's mother Flora Grace Ernst Miller from the family's 1933-1934 trip
to Germany; materials relating to Miller's World War II experiences and the preparation
of his book about them titled Descent from Niitaka; a letter to the Committee on the
Armed Services regarding his perspectives on gays in the military; correspondence
as Dean of the Faculty and later (to 1975); Cornell '69 materials; scientific correspondence,
1975-2010; materials relating to trips to Russia, 1973 and 1982; letters from James
Perkins; slides and photograph albums from scientific trips; and publications and
