Ohio State University

Dr. Wm. Oxley Thompson, President

The Ohio State University, Columbus, is an outgrowth of the Morrill Act of 1862, commonly known as the Land Grant Act. In 1864, the Legislature passed an act accepting the grant, but not until 1870 was the law enacted providing for the organization of the "Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College." In consideration of the location of the college, Franklin county provided a fund of three hundred thousand dollars by a bond issue. This was subsequently, increased by twenty-five thousand dollars. Three hundred and thirty acres of land lying within the city limits west of High street and three miles north of Capitol Square were purchased as a site. Additional purchases of adjacent land make an estate of four hundred and fifty-three acres.

The college was opened for students September 17, 1873. In 1878 the Legislature reorganized the institution, changed the name to "The Ohio State University," and made the first appropriation in the history of the state for higher education. The proceeds of the sale of public lands were made by law a part of the irreducible debt of the state upon which the state pays six per cent. interest. The statutes provide that all money given to the University, unless otherwise directed by the donor, shall become a part of this irre ducible debt, which is but another name for an endowment fund. That fund for general purposes now amounts to $883,785.91. The fund for designated purposes amounts to $66,546.09, making a total of $950,332.

The institution is governed by a board of seven trustees, appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, for terms of seven years. The organization provides for seven colleges as follows: Agriculture; Arts, Philosophy and Science; Education; Engineering; Law; Pharmacy and Veterinary Medicine. There are at present (1912) twentysix buildings used for instruction, three residences, Oxley Hall for young women, and the Ohio Union building for general social and clubhouse purposes.

The University operates a Summer Session of eight weeks. The entrance requirements are the same as for the ordinary academic year and all courses offered carry university credit. About one-sixth of the students are college graduates and are enrolled as graduate students candidates for a second degree.

During the winter the University offers a short course in Agriculture with a view of reaching farmers who can not leave their farms for a year. More than two hundred of the young farmers of Ohio have been in attendance upon these courses. They are of a practical character suited to the needs of practical farming, and include such subjects as fertilization, rotation of crops, stock judging, the feeding and breeding of live stock, the care of milk, the making of butter, care of orchards and other practical topics.

The work in Agricultural Extension in the past five years has been carried to every county in the state, and is one of the most important activities of the University in the interest of those who can not avail themselves of the ordinary opportunities at the University.

The Graduate School was organized in September, 1912, with Professor William McPherson, Ph. D., as Dean, and a graduate council of twelve given control, subject to the general rules and regulations adopted by the University faculty and approved by the board of trustees.

The University faculty is composed of all persons having the rank of professor. The college faculties are composed of all persons having the rank of assistant professor, associate professor and professor. Persons are assigned to the college faculties under rules provided by the University faculty.

The instructional force comprises: Professors, 92; associate professors, 16; assistant professors, 46; instructors, 43, and 37 laboratory and other assistants.

The following Have served as president: Edward Orton, 1873-1881; Walter Quincy Scott, 1881-1883; William Henry Scott, 1888-1895; James Hulme Canfield, 1895-1899; William Oxley Thompson, 1899-.

Ohio University (Athens)

Alston Ellis, President

Ohio University is the oldest higher institution of learning in that part of our country known as the "Old Northwest." Before Ohio was admitted to statehood the Territorial Legislature, in session at Chillicothe, made provision "that there shall be a university instituted and established in the town of Athens. This action bears date of January 9, 1802. The institution to be "instituted and established" was named the "American Western University."

Two years after the passage of the act_referred to-Ohio having in the meantime been admitted into the Union-the State Legislature re-enacted the provisions of the Territorial Act, with but few changes, by another act dated February 18, 1804. This latter act, which gave the name "Ohio University" to the institution to be established, has ever been regarded as the charter of Ohio University.

The institution thus provided for was opened to students in the spring of 1808, when Rev. Jacob Lindley, a Princeton graduate, was put in charge of its educational work.

The first graduates, Thomas Ewing and John Hunter, received their diplomas in 1815. The whole number of degree graduates, of baccalaureate rank, in the history of the University, is men, 724; women, 185; total, 909. The total number of different students enrolled increased from 405 in 1901 to 2,037 in 1913.

The University buildings are twelve in number, not including five buildings occupied as residences. Conservative valuation of the property of the University is as follows: Grounds, $505,000; buildings, $600,000; equipment, $190,000; total, $1,290,000. The financial support of the University is derived from three sources, namely, the mill-tax, special appropriations, and local receipts from incidental fees, rents, and interest on permanent funds forming a part of the irreducible debt of the State of Ohio.

Each

The field of instruction covered is shown by the following classification of colleges and departments: College of Liberal Arts; the State Normal College; the College of Music; the College of Oratory; the School of Commerce; the Department of Physics and Electrical Engineering; the Department of Mathematics and Civil Engineering, and the Department of Drawing and Painting.

The courses of instruction offered in the State Normal College are as follows: Normal Preparatory Course; Course in Elementary Education; Course for Principals and Superintendents; Course for College Graduates; and courses in Domestic Science, Manual Training, and Agricultural Education.
