Miller, Biological Sciences: Los Angeles, Berkeley, and Davis, 1874-1970, Professor of Zoology, Emeritus (Loye Holmes Miller was born in Minden, Louisiana, on October 18, 1874. His family moved to Riverside, California, then a small village on the edge of the desert. Riverside (Calif.). He left high school in his senior year to join an expedition collecting land vertebrates in Arizona. Upon his return he decided to enroll in the University of California at Berkeley, where he came under the influence of Dr. John C. Merriam, one of the leading vertebrate paleontologists of his day. In 1899 Merriam asked Miller to accompany him on an expedition to the John Day Fossil Beds of eastern Oregon, and this was the beginning of Miller's interest in the field of Paleontology. He continued to make notable contributions to it until shortly before his death. Miller's work for a master's degree in Zoology at Berkeley was interrupted by his acceptance of a teaching position in Natural Science at Oahu College in Hawaii. In 1903 he returned to Berkeley to complete his master's thesis, and the next year became an instructor in Biology at the Los Angeles Normal School, later the University of California at Los Angeles. He remained on the faculty until his retirement as Professor of Biology in 1943. In 1907, Dr. Merriam took him to the old Hancock Ranch in Los Angeles where there was "a small pit about the size of a piano box and someone had dug out some bones," tar pit excavations later known as Rancho La Brea. Miller soon became an active investigator of the bird fauna of Rancho La Brea. He received his Ph.D. in Paleontology in 1912 from Berkeley.) - http://texts.cdlib.org/view?docId=hb6h4nb3q7&doc.view=frames&chunk.id=div00027&toc.depth=1&toc.id=
