Antioch College is a private, independent liberal arts college in Yellow Springs, Ohio. It was the founder and the flagship institution of the six-campus Antioch University system. Founded in 1852 by the Christian Connection, the college began operating in 1853 with politician and education reformer Horace Mann as its first president. Between 1921 and 2008, the college's educational approach blended practical work experience with classroom learning, and participatory community governance. Students received narrative evaluations instead of academic letter grades. In June 2007, the University’s Board of Trustees announced that Antioch College would be suspending operations as of July 2008. Antioch University transferred the assets, including the college campus, a $20 million endowment, Glen Helen and the Antioch Review, to Antioch College Continuing Corp. in 2009 for $5 million. Since then, Antioch College has raised nearly $17 million from alumni in its quest to reopen in fall 2011.

Miles Goodman (August 27, 1949 – August 16, 1996) was an American musician who composed music for television programs, including Teen Wolf, and many films, notably the toe-tapping tunes from Footloose (1984) and the incidental music to Little Shop of Horrors (1986). As a producer, Goodman specialized in light jazz and classics. Los Angeles-born and raised, Goodman majored in theater at Antioch College. It was his cousin Johnny Mandel who led Goodman to a music career. Goodman studied under Albert Harris during the early '70s and cut his composer's teeth as an orchestrator for a few of Mandel's scores, including Being There (1979). He officially launched his career in 1977, scoring the critically acclaimed but short-lived NBC series James at 15. On this program, he created his signature technique of combining songs with original music. By 1991, after over a decade of scoring an average of four major feature films a year, Goodman decided to take a break and so became a record producer. His first production featured harmonicist Toots Thielemans working with a variety of famed Brazilian artists on The Brasil Project (1992).
Miles Goodman composed scores for numerous TV shows and films, particularly with director Frank Oz including the 1986 musical adaptation of Little Shop of Horrors, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, HouseSitter, and What About Bob?.
Goodman died at age 46 on August 16, 1996, following a heart attack in his Los Angeles home.
