During the first ten years of its operation as an institution of

higher education, what is now known as The Ohio State University bore the

nan:e of The Ohio College of Agriculture and Mechanical . It opened its doors to its first class on September 17, 1873, under Edward Orton as its first President, but it was not to inaugurate its first lectures in government until 1875, when William Colvin, of , was designated as Professor of Political Economy and Civil Polity. He remained for only two years; he was not reappointed in 1877 so that his salary would be av�ilable for a Professor of Mines, Mine Engineering and Metallurgy,

whose employment had been mandated by The State Legislature, without provision of an appropriation for his salary. In 1878 the name of the institution was changed to The Ohio State University. In 1879 the Board of Trustees created a Department of History and PLilosophy with John T. Short of Columbus as Assistant Professor. Two ye�s later, in 1881, the second president, Walter Q. Scott, was named for the institution with the additional title of Professor of Philosophy and Political Economy. He was a native of Dayton and had been teaching at Wooster College. After only two years, in 1883, he resigned and was s�cceeded by William Henry Scott who took the title of President and also that of Professor of Philosophy and Political Economy. President William Henry Scott had been Superintendent of Schools in Athens, Ohio (:;..352-64) and President of at Athens (1871-1883). He became Pr��ident of The Ohio State University on July 26, 1883, only 36 days after he had been named to the office pro tem. 2

President Scott, in his first report, called for the creation of a

Department of Political and Social Science, but the realization of this

visio� was not to be attained for another 20 years. In June 1885 the university employed one of the rare Renaissance men who occasionally appear on college faculties--Professor George Wells

Knig.�t. He was given the title of Professor of History and English

Language and Literature. Later he became at various times first dean of The College of Education, Professor of (1903-1905) and dean of The College of Law. He also served as a delegate to The Ohio Constitu­

tional Convention of 1912. In 1887, English Language and Literature was made a separate department. In 1889 President Scott again asked for a chair of social sciences. T'ne Board responded by assigning this work to Professor Knight as a part

of his duties as chairman of The Department of History.

A great expansion came in 1891 with the creation of a state tax

levy for the benefit of the University and a substantial increase in

federal funds for University purposes. The following year President Scott commented in his annual report on the healthy growth of the work in

History and Political Science.

Two years later George W. Rightmire was appointed to offer a special

class on Civil Government and ?resident Scott again noted substantial growth

in t�e nuriber of students in this area. In July 1894 the Presidency of the University was offered to Ja.m�s H. Canfield of the University of . He was a native of

Delaware, Ohio. Before moving to Nebraska he had spent 14 years at the

University of Kansas teaching Engl"ish language and literature as well as 3

history and political science. He accepted, but was unable to arrange to take over his new duties until July 1, 1895. President Scott retained his post until President Canfield arrived.

Y.a.ny momentous changes occurred soon after President Canfield took

over the Presidency. A College of Arts was created and Samuel Derby was

na.rr.ed Dean. Preparatory work of sub-college level was terminated. A

Summer School was established. Pre-professional work for two years for

both law and journalism was set up, including American government and

municipal government in the second year. In 1898, the chair of Professor George W. Knight was divided. He retained iunerice.n History and Political Science. Economics and

were confided to Professor F. C. Clark, who had been Professor Knight's

associate. In the same year the University received a gift from William

Jenn:.n.;s Bryan for an annual prize for the "best essay discussing the

principles which underlie our form of government," an award which still is administered by The Department of Political Science today. President Canfield resigned his post in 1899 to become the Librarian of in . In his final report to the Board of

Trustees of Ohio State he referred to the new importance of courses in Amer­ ican history and political science. "The war (with Spain) and its af't<;;:..�rnath," he said, "placed renewed emphasis on the importance of training our young men and women in history and political science, especi­ ally in the history, policy and institutions of the as a nation." He said it was especially incumbent on tl:e state university

"to oake large provision for the profession of citizenship--a profession on which all others must depend for safety and progress." "The University," 4 he pointed out was, "at t:1.e very center of a great laboratory in political science--the complete machinery of state and municipal government is in everyday operation here--while several important branches of national administration are represented in the city... It should be comparatively easy," he said, "to build up here a great school of American history and political science, inferior to none in the country. If Ohio is to retain her rank as a mother of statesmen and political leaders am. the home of an intelligent and masterful citizenry, these demands must be met, and by no other institution so appropria,tely as by the state University."

'I'he fifth President of The Ohio State University was W. 0. Thompson, who served as such from 1899 to 1925. He came to the Columbus campus from an ei6ht year term as President of in Oxford, Ohio. He was born in 1855 in Cambridge, Ohio, was graduated from Muskingum College in �878 and was a Presbyterian minister for several years before entering into ecucational administration.

11he staff of tre Department of History and Political Science, as it appears in the University budget for 1902-1903,included Professor George w. Knight, Assistant Professor Theodore C. Smith and Instructor George W.

Rig:1tmire. Four months later Instructor (later President) Rightmire was e:ected by the Board to be an Instructor in the College of Law, from which he ii�G been graduated in 1895, leaving the department with only Professor

K.:lig:�t to teach the courses in political science, since Professor Smith was 2ssigned to teach American History. For 1903-1904 Henry Russell

SpeLcer, a graduate of Princeton and of Colby College, Waterville, was add.cd. as an instructor. In 1904-1905 A. H. Tuttle served as an

Assistant Professor and he, Knight and Spencer constituted the teaching 5

staff of the Department of America.11 History and Politi cal Science. The

following year there were Professor Knight.(who had assumed the additional

duty of Chairman of the Graduate Board), Assistant Professor Tuttle and

Henry R. Spencer, who had been promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor.

In 1905 Assistant Professor Spencer was recalled to Princeton as

a Preceptor, but he stayed for only two years, returning to Ohio State in

the fall of 1907 at a full Professor rank. This was one step toward the

sepa.i·ation of Political Science from .American History and the creation

c: the Department of Political Science. Professors Knight and Spencer spent two years preparing careful plans for this change, and the Board of

Trustees, in the spring of 1909, finally approved the creation of the

new department with Professor Spencer as its head.

During this two year preparatory period Professor Knight took a leave

of atsence of one year, leaving Professor Spencer in charge. Before he took

his departure, to become the Acting Dean of the College of Law (January

lo, 1908), Clarence A. Dykstra was appointed as an instructor to keep

abreast of the course load. The name of E. P. Tanner also appears on the

1908-1909 budget for the still-intact Department of American History and Political Science.

In October 1908 George Rightmire relieved Professor Knight as acting dean of the College of Law and Professor Tuttle was appointed to the law

school facu]jty to teach constitutional law.

'L1e action of the Board of Trustees dividing the Department of Poli­ tical Science from the Department of .American History was taken on March

26, 1909 and became effective on July 1, 1909.

During the first year of separate operation the roster of the Depart­

�ent of American History included the names of Professor Ifnight and 6

Assistant Professors E. P. Tanner and c. A. Dykstra who taught Consti­ tutional Histo:-cy and Constitutional Government, while that of the Department of Political Science included Professor Spencer and Walter J. Shepard, the latter having come from the University of after training at Wilamette University and Harvard. Professor Shepard left in 1910 to go to the although twice thereafter he returned to Ohio State. On January 25, 1936 he died in service as Dean of the Ohio State University College of Arts and Sciences. C. A. Dykstra also left in 1910 to go to the although he, too, was to return to Ohio later as City Manager of the city of Cincinnati, and to move on from there to become the President of the University of Wisconsin. Francis W. Coker, trained at Chapel Hill, Harvard and Columbia, joined the politieal science staff at Ohio State on July 1, 1911. In the fo.:i..lowing year Professor Spencer took a year's leave of absence and Ar"'cl1ur M. Schlesinger was added to the department as an Instructor. He served in the department only one year, after which he was transferred to the Department of American History where he began an illustrous career as a W'riter and teacher in that field. He left Ohio State in 1913 for::Ha.rvard where he remained for the rest of his teaching life. Spencer and Coker (who became a Professor in 1914) continued as the staff of the Department of Political Science until 1917, when E. A. Cottrell became a member of the department team. Professor S:pencer was given leave in 1918 to serve as a Y.M.C.A. worker with the �. S. Army in Italy. Cottrell resigned in 1919 to go to Stanford Univ­ e::c.sity where he remained until his retirement in 1945. In 1921 Professor Shepard returned to Ohio State to teach and to direct a Bureau of 7

Govern.�ent Research, a project which never was permitted to come to full fruition, altho-.�h Cottrell had laid the groundwork for it during his short term as a member of the staff. With a political science staff reduced to three: Spencer, Coker, and Shepa�d, new members were necessary to serve the flood tide of students which were enrolling after the demobilization in World War I. Two began in 1923--Howard B. Calderwood and Jam.es K. Pollock, trained at Michigan and Harvard, respectively. Both left the staff in 1925,--Pollock to go to the University of V.d.chigan where he later became Chairman of the Department of Political Science and remained until his retirement. Dr. Frank Paddock, trained at the University of Wisconsin, joined the political science staff in 1925 and left in 1928 to go to Temple University in Philadelphia. In 1925, E. Allen Helms, who received his graduate training at The University of Illinois, became an Instructor in Political Science at Ohio Sta�c. Ee spent his ,entire professional life at this institution, becoming Emeritus Professor in 1967. During the years 1957-58 and 1959-62 he served as Chairman. During the s·ummer session of 1927, Professor John M. Mathews of the Utliversity of Illinois served as a visiting professor. In the following su:am:e= the visiting professor was W. E. Binkley of at Ad.&, Ohio. In the fall of 1928, Assistant Professor Harvey Walker joined the depar�ment. He had received his training at the University of Kansas and the D�ivcrsity of V.d.nnesota, having taught a year at each institution. He, too, spen� the rest of his academic career at Ohio State, retiring in 1967. 8

'.Pwo new instructors were also added in 1928--Robert T. Pollard, and Mrs.

Flora May Fearing, both of whom served only in 1928-29, although Pollard returned to teach in one quarter in 1938-39.

:�e school year 1929-30 saw two important changes. Professor Coker resigned to go to , where he spent nineteen more years in teaching political theory before his retirement in 1948. The theory courses of O.S.U. fell to Professor of Philosophy George M. Sabine. Francis R. Aur:;ann, who had been trained at Ohio Wesleyan and the University of joined the staff as an Instructor and spent a working lifetime at Ohio

State in the fields of Judicial Organization and Constitutional Law.

Tne academic year 1930-31 brought H. Schuyler Foster to the depart­ ment as a:a Instructor. Trained at Dartmouth, The and b:;.rva.rd, he taught in the areas of public opinion, and political parties. He left Ohio State in 1935 for a career position in The United States Department of State in Washington. In the

SUlr£..er of 1931 Professor Coker returned from Yale to teach during the fi:cst terr:.:.

Also in the fall of 1930, Professor Peter H. Odegard joined the departoent teaching staff. Trained at The and

Columbia University, he had already had teaching experience at Amherst and

Williams a.�d he was brought to O.S.U. at the rank of full professor. He ren�inec �ntil 1938 when he returned to Anu,erst and later became assistant to S:.'.ne Secretary of the Treasury of the U.S., President of Reed College,

Po�t:and, Oregon, and Pr-ofessor and Chairman, Department of Political

Sci��ce, University of .

�rofessor Harold S. Quigley of The University of taught in

1:::-�2 sum:.1:.er session of 1932 as a visiting professor. 9

In the budget for 1932-33 the name of Howard L. Ha,"llilton appears on the department roster as an Instructor, although his salary was budgeted

in The College of Arts and Sciences. He was Secretary of the college

ai:� was unable because of the press of his duties in that capacity to

teach in every quarter. Nevertheless, he gave long and loyal service

to the department while he remained on the university staff. He resigned in 1949 to become Director of Ministerial Relations for the Presbyterian Church of the U.S.A., a post which he retained until his death in 1969. In 1931-35 also, the name of Dayton E. Heckman is to be found on the depar�mental budget list as an Assistant. In 1935 he went to The University of Cnaha as an Associate Professor, where he spent eleven years. In 1946-47 he spent a year at Western Reserve University as a teacher and in 1947 he returned to Ohio State as an Assistant Professor and was soon draftee to understudy Howard Hamilton as secretary of The College of Arts and Sciences. When Hamilton left the university to go into church work,

He�krna.n succeeded him and gave the Department of Political Science part­ tiilie assistance as far as his time would permit until his untimely death on April 28, 1956. 'l'he grim years of the depression saw few changes in the staff. Great r��lance was placed on the employment of graduate students to handle the teuch.i.1�3 of elementary courses. By 1937, however Frederic Heimberger, B.::..rl E. Warner and Bladen Ogle were all given appointments as instructors.

·fr�ey �·... ad. taken their graduate work in the department and were well known to the regular staff. All of them went on to spend their working lives

�L college te&ching or administration. Frederic Heimberger had spent

2..931-36 at at Muncie, Indiana returning to Ohio St�te in 1936 and becoming assista...�t dean of The College of Arts and 10 Sciences in 1946, dean in 1949 and vice president of the university in 1951. Earl E. Warner was an instructor at The in 1930-31, at James Millikin University at Decatur, Illinois in 1931-32, and after spending 1937-40 at Ohio State went on to The University of Mississippi (1940-42) and to in 1946 spending the remainder of his academic life as a professor at that institution.

M. Bladen Ogle went to and after several years of service in teaching and departmental administration he became dean of the

School of Humanities, Social Science and Education-there. I.u the academic year of 1940-41 William B. Ballis was added to the sta[f as a.n Assistant Professor. He was a native of Oregon and had been tr�ined at Stanford, Geneva, Switzerland, and the University of Chicago and his specialty was international relations. Shortly after his arrival,

World War II broke out and as a Reserve Officer in the Navy, he was calleu to active duty. He was given military leave until the war was over �hen he accepted an appointment in the U.S. Government in Washington. L11948 he went to The University of Washington as a professor specializing in Russian government and politics and in 1957 he moved to The Univer- sity of Michigan in a similar position.

The granting of military leave by the Board of Trustees to permanent members of the department staff began in 1941. In that year Professor i,!;;.,}.lcer was released. He was a Reserve Officer who held the rank of

Captain in the Finance Department of the Army. He served as Assistant

Finance Officer U.S. Army in Columbus; Assistant Corps Area Finance

Officer, ?ifth Corps Area at Fort Hayes; Finance and Fiscal Officer,

U.S. Ar�y South Atlantic, Recife, Brazil, Chief Administrative Management 11

Division, Office of The Fiscal Director of The War Department and Assis-:­ ant C:i:1ief of The Personnel Division of The Army Service Forces, both at the Pentagon in Washingto�, D.C. He was relieved from active duty in August of 1944 as a Lieutenant Colonel and returned to his university post. By 1942-43 Ballis and Hamilton had both been granted leaves. Ballis was a naval officer who worked in The Department of State during the war. Hamilton was also a naval officer who served at the naval pre-fl:i.ght school at The University of North Carolina. Both were relieved from active duty vrith the rank of Commander in 1945. The loss of three members of the instructional staff to military service reg_uired replacements. James T. Watkins was added as an Assistant Professor and Cephus LeRoy Stephens and Paul Kelso became instructors. John A. iairlie, a retired professor from The University of Illinois Depart�ent of Political Science ca.-ne fo:f.' two quarters to teach the courses in p�blic administration. Professor Watkins, trained at Stanford, Geneva, and California, was a specialist in the Far East. He too served in a naval assignment in 1943-46 and then returned to Stanford. Stephens and Kelso were advanced graduate students. A�er receiving their doctorates Ste�aens went to Denison University, Granville, Ohio and Kelso became a :r:cmber of the teaching staff at The in Tucson. Professor Francis R. Aumann, also a naval reserve officer, was (;..:.-:.led to active duty July 1, 1942. He served mainly in the Atlantic ·I�::.2at.e:..' and i:.:1 Europe, being relieved from active duty in 1946, as a Cc..:.;Jander, to return to his post. With five members of an eight member teaching staff of the depart­ ment on leave in 1943-44 more help was needed, even though enrollments 12 were down. L(�uis Kesselman, an acivanced graduate student and an Assistant in 1942-43 was appointed as an instructor for 1943-44. Soon thereafter he became a labor arbitrator for the War Labor Board and in 1947 he became an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University

of Louisville, where he has remained. D1=J:ring the spring quarter of 1944, Professor Foster Rhea DulJe s of T'ne Department of History was borrowed part-time by the Department of

Political Science to teach a course in his area of specialization. Tae department staff for 1946-47 shows the addition of Robert Robbins as an Assistant Professor. Robbins was a native of Dayton, Otiio

trained at Ohio State and The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. He

had taught at . He rereained in the department only one

year when he joined the U.S. State Department as a specialist in depend­ ent ar�a affairs and then was given leave to become executive assistant

to the Director General of the International Refugee Organization in Geneva.

In 1946, Professor Henry Spencer, who had carried the burden of the chairmanship of the department since 1909, indicated his desire to retire from that post. This request was acceded to, a search for a successor was undertaken and Harvey C. Mansfield was chosen. Mansfield was L uative of Cambridge, Massachusetts, who had received his graduate t::·si:wing at Cornell and Columbia. He had taught at Yale and Stanford a...,d had. spent 1942-47 in the U.S. Office of Price Administration. He assumed the chairmanship of the department in 1947 and relinquished it in 1959. Spencer continued to serve as a Professor in the department 13 until his retire:r.ient in 1949. Mc.nsfield also continued as a Professor in tl:.-2 department until 1965 when he assumed a chair at Columbia University. Also in the fall of 1946, Meredith P. Gilpatrick joined the staff of

the department as an Assistant Professor. He was a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with graduate preparation at the Universities of Southern

C�lifornia end Chicago. He had been an instructor at Williams College

and Beloit College and had served with The Board of Economic Warfare,

The Far Eastern Unit of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and as an attache

SociE;:ty in Columbus. Two new instructors joined the staff in 1947: Schuyler D. Hoslett and Ds.vict Spitz. The first was an advanced graduate student who after

completing his graduate work became assistant dean of The Extension

Program at Columbia University, then a management expert at the R. R.

Con�elly Company in Chicago, an educational administrator in Hawii,

whence he has returned as President of Bryant College in Providence,

Illioie Island.

David Spitz was trained at City College of New York and Colu.�bia,

specializing in political theory and philosophy. He now has twenty­

t,,;o years of service and many devoted students end former students at

O:. ..�o State and many friends and colleagues who will miss him when he moves on to Hunter College and The City University of New York in 1970. The ranks of assistant instructors were augmented in the fall of 194-7 by the appointment of John S. Bowers, August Velleti, R. Martin Brans and Archer E. Reilly to that rank. All were advanced graduate

students, added to the teaching staff to help with the flood of students 14 which followed demobilization after World War II. Archer Reilly is

now a Judge of T'ne Court of Common Pleas in Franklin County, Ohio. In the sun1,ner of 1948 Professor John E. Briggs of the was present on the campus as a visiting professor of political

science. The 1948-49 budget contains for the first time the name of Harold Zink. He was a native of New Mexico who was trained at The University

of Denver a..."1.d at Harvard. His first academic post was at DePauw University at Greencastle, Indiana, which he assumed in 1925. Twenty­ three years later, in 1948 he ca.me to the Ohio State University as a full professor where he remained until his death on June 19, 1962. Other newcomers in 1948 were Daniel Wit and R. W.

In 1956 he became Professor of Political Science and Chairman of The Department of Political Science and Economics at McGill University in Montreal, a post from which he has now retired to his home in Great Britain. Professor Leonhardt was a native of Germany who had taken A.uerican citizenship and earned a doctorate from The University of Chicago in 1941. His permanent academic post is a professor­ ship at Michigan State University at East Lansing. In the fall of 1948 Louis Nemzer, a native of New York, trained at the University of California at Los Angeles and The University of Chicago, joined the cepartment as an Assist8.Ut Professor to teach courses and direct research in the area of Russian studies. He has remained since that time, with occasional interludes for special assignments with the State Department in Washington. In 1969, the department recommended his promotion to the rru1k of Professor. The surru-:ier quarter of 1949 was enlivened by the presence of H.·, C . • i:'..xon of Ve.!",derbilt University and Edward Taborsky of The University of

�-:.:xus as Visiting Professors. Professor Nixon was a native of Alabama

��·l::.ose Ph.D. was from Chicago. Tuborsky was a citizen of Czechoslovakia.

He was promoted to Assistant Professor in 1952 and moved on to an Associate Professorship a-c; in 1953. The visiting lecturer in the department during 1950-51 was John Aubrey Davis, then a professor of political science at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. He was the first Negro member of the department staff, well liked and respected by all. He is, since 1961, a Professor of Political Science at The City College .of New York. Harry v. Jaffa became a member of the department staff as an Assistant Professor in 1951. He was trained at Yale and The New School for Social Research.

He had been trained at Glasgow University and had served as a lecturer at the London School of Economics and as a tutor at Oxford. In 1952, he became Principal of The University College of Leicester, England, continued as its Vice-Chancellor from 1957 to 1961 when he was called back to his Alma Mater as Principal and Vice Chancellor in 1961. He was awarded the LL.D. degree at Ohio State University in 1969 as Sir Charles Haynes Wilson. I� the 1952-53 academic year several new members were added. They included Gary Brazier as an Instructor, Raymond English as a Visiting Lecturer a.�d R�ssell H. Fitzgibbon as a Visiting Professor. T�e visitors in 1953 were Raymond English, who held the title of Visiting Lecturer and taught during the summer quarter and Russell H. Fitzgibbon who was a Visiting Professor, also during the summer.

THE DEPARTMENT'S PROGRAM

The catalog of the Ohio State University for the year 1885 contains the following references to the field of and instruction in Political Science. It appears under the department of "History, Political Science and English." Professor Knight (George W.) is the only instructor mentioned.

"POLITICAL SCIENCE"

"The attention given to this field is still somewhat limited, but serves to acquaint the students with the princi­ ples of two capital divisions. The work is confined to the senior yea:r. The elements of constitutional law receive attention two hours a week during one term, and political economy two hours a week throughout the year. While Laughlin's edition of Mill is used as the textbook in political economy, and,while most of the doctrines which it upholds are adopted, the primary aim is to lay before the student,the elementary principles of the science. On all disputed points the views of leading writers on both sides are carefully examined. In constitutional law, the object.is to give the student a knowledge'of the constitution of the United States as expounded by the ablest jurists and writers. To this end the course is preceded by a term's study of the constitutional history of the country, in which the chief points in connection with the formation and develop­ ment of the constitution 8:l"e laid before the student. 2 In ad.dition to this·,-8.1'.'rangements have been made whereby it is expected that a short series of lectures on the elementary law will be delivered to the students by three olt' four of the ablest· jurifts in the state." A quarter of a century later, in the university catalog for. 1909-10, the announcement of courses appeared under the title "Amarican History and Political S�ience" for�the last ,time. The office i's cited as 207,University Hall and the faculty consisted of Professors Knight and Spencer, Assistant Professor Tanner and Mr. Dykstra. All of the members of the staff participated in giving the courses in American history, which numbered twelve. Similarly, they all cooperated in giving the nine courses in political science. In the following year (1910) political science appears for the first time as a separate department. The office was in 200 University Hall and the staff included Professor Spencer and Assistant Professor Shepard. These two professors gave all of the twelye courses listed in the catalog save one, International Law, which was offered by Professor Knight. The titles and descriptions of the courses given·during the first year of the department's existenee may be of interest. They are as follows: 101-102. Constitutional Government. Three credit hours. The year. MWF at 9 or 1, Spencer, Shepard. 103-104. International Law. Two credit hours. The year. T Th at 10 Knight. 105. Comparative Constitutional Law. Three credit hours. First

Two credit hours. The year. 'L' Th at 9. Spencer. 114. Problems in International Politics. Two credit hours. Second semester. Given biennially alternating with course 108. Shepard. 115-116. History of Political Theories. Two credit hours. The year, T Th at 8. Shepard. 117-118. Seminar in Political Science.Mat 4. In 1913-14 a prerequisite of courses 101-102 was established for course 108, and a new course 121�122 on Comparative Administration was substituted fo�· course 110, with the same prerequisite. This new course carried credit of three hours each semester.Jmd------: was taught by Professor Coker. 4

The description of this new course was also placed in the catalog, the first time this was done. It read as follows: "A description .

of the administrative systems of.Phio, theI United States, England, France and Russia; the appointment and election of administrative officers. Their powers and duties, remedies of the individual against unlawful action of administrative officers, control over their action . t exercised by higher administr&tive officers,·the courts and the legislature." The catalog for 1916-17 marks the disappearance of the former courses 101-102 on Constitutional Government, which had been the basic prerequisite·for further work in the department. Its place was taken by courses 133-134, Government in the United States, which was made the prerequisite for the taking of all further courses in the department, which by then numbered eighteen. In this year also the first reference to graduate work in the department appears: "Prerequi- site for Graduate Work: Graduate work in this department presupposes a foundation laid in college courses in the historical and social sciences. As a qualification for the study of political science as a graduate 'major' the students must have completed previously the ·equivalent of four three-hour semester courses,. chosen among the subjects of political science, history and economics. This should ordinarily include one full year's work in political science." Fifteen courses were declared to be open only to advanced undergraduates and.graduates. Also for the first time,.the summer program (in this case for

1916) is set forth·i' separately in the catalog. It consisted of three 5

courses, all to be given by Professor Spencer. In the next year Professor Coker offered two courses in the summer. In 1917-18 also, the paragraph on Graduate Work in the department.was supplemented by a new course--201-202 on Research in Political Science, two credit hours for the year. In 1918-19, when Professor Cottrell joined the

staff, still another course, 151-152,-entitl_�d Methods of Governmental Research, two credit hours for the year, was added to bring the total depart�ental offering to 21 courses. Professor Cottrell gave two courses in the summer session of 1918. By 1919 the basic departmental course was changed again, Now it was 101-102, Government in the United States and Europe. Three hours for the year. .It was open to freshmen. The summer courses for 1919 were three, taught by Professor Spencer. Those for 1920 also were three, presented_by Visiting Professor Kari Geiser of Oberlin College. In the summer of 1921 Professor Spencer was again the instructor on duty, offering three courses. In 1920 the department office was moved to 206 Hayes Hall. In 1922 the Ohio State University changed from the semester system to the quarter system. Professors Spencer, Coker, and Shepard consti- · tuted the permanent staff. The catalog for that year necessarily reflects this change. The offerings were arranged in seventeen quarter courses--three of these were open to sophomores, the rest only to upperclassmen and graduate students.· Professor Spencer taught three of the newly defined courses in the summer of 1922. The descriptions of the departmental courses as they appeared in the catalog for 1923-24 included a statement of the various curricula in the several colleges in which each course was prescribed. 6

Two new items were added to the course descriptions in the catalog in this period. One of'these advised\students planning for graduate work in political science to acquire a reading knowledge of French and German during the undergraduate period, The other called attention of the graduate students in the department to The Historical

Conference. "In addition to the formal co�es ..• a monthly con­ ference is held, composed of the instructors and graduate students in the departments of history and political science. The discussions in this conference cover a wide range of topics_of general interest to students and investigators in these fields." The catalog for 1925-26 indicates that the staff consisted of Professors Spencer, Coker and Pollock and that the offices of the department had been moved back into room 102 University Hall, For the first time the departmental course offerings were prefaced by a suggested undergraduate curriculwn for satisfying the requirements for the first six quarters of work -prefatory to advanced work in the social sciences. In the 1927 catalog appeared for the first time the announcement of honors work, consisting of three quarters of informal work leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Distinction in Political Science. This system was installed simultaneously.throughout all departments of the College of Arts and Sciences. By 1931·32 the depression had begun to pinch; University appropriations were drastically curtailed and expansion in courses or personnel was practically impossible, Nevertheless a few changes were made, A course numbered 615, .Administration of Justice,was added to / 7 the offerings, as was also a course, 617, on Administrative Law, another, 633, on Legislation, and 634 on Public Opinion and Political Processes. In the 1932-33 catalog appears for the first time a list of Boo level courses, designed primarily for graduate students. They included the principal . graduate areas taught in the department, . \ . Political.Thought, Comparative Government, Public Opinion and Political Parties, Ptlblic Administration, Municipal Government, In�ernational Relations and Public Law. A new graduate course on International Administration was added in 1935-36. And on the undergraduate level, a new course was added on the Peace Movement, required of all students excused from ROTC; but by 1936-37, the course on the Peace Movement was dropped. The catalog for 1937-38 shows a CO\U'Se on Dictatorship and Absolutism was added to the offerings. In the bulletin for 1938-4o a course on Introduction to Political Science appears for the first time along with two new courses on The Far East. By 194o-41 the clouds of war were lowering over Europe. American participation wa,s just around the corner. It was no time for expan­ sion or change. For 1941-42, the course offerings remained the same except for the additiqn of a course on The British Commonwealth and a third course on The Far East. In the announcement of courses for the academic year 1942-43, a statement concerning a departmental committee on graduate work appeared for the first. time. In this statement was the following \ 8 language: "General supervision of all phases of the graduate program (including curriculum and the acceptance or retention of students) is exercised by a graduate committee of the department. Each candidate for graduate work in political science or public administration is placed under the immediate supervision of an advisory committee of three or more persons representing the departments in which the student is taking a substantial amount of wor�, at least two of whom are members of the department of political science. Each advisory committee is named by the graduate committee (which designates one of the number as chairman); and reports periodically to the graduate committee on the progress �f the student. The student shall consult each member of his advisory committee at interxals concerning his program of study and in the preparation of his thesis or dissertation. In the case of the Master's degree, final approval of the thesis rests with the advisory committee whose members normally constitute also the pral examining committee." This statement is followed, in the catalog, by a list of require- ments for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, including fields of concentration: theory, international law and relations, politics, administratio�, and public law. All of these five fields were required to be included in 1:he written and oral general examination. Groups of courses taken in other departments were also admitted as an additional field at the preliminary examination. These rules were to undergo numerous modifications in subsequent years, as experience was gained in their use. 9

By 1944-45 both faculty and students were beginning to return from military service in World War II. The departmental teaching roster included the names of several who were still on military leave as the catalog was compiled. A course on International Administration was added to the offerings. A new teaching area called International

Studies was also opened to students, with t\e participation of the political science staff, Another innovation was the 'twilight School in which the department offered• eight courses• The only innovation in the 1945�46 catalog was a new course in Comparative Public Administration which might be termed a revival from 1910. Twilight offerings were continued (5 courses). Changes in:the curricula of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences,

Engineering and Commerce and Administration·: led to the creation of three new service courses, for students from those areas in 1946-47. Twilight School commitment for five courses was continued. The 1946-47 catalog prefaced the announcement of the courses in Political Science by a rather lengthy set of instructions to students concerning the major in the department. The pertinent portions of this new material read as follows: "Students who plan to major in Political Science should complete the elementary courses in this department in the freshman and �ophomore years, if possible. As time permits, they should also enroll in background courses in such related departments as History, Economics, Philosophy, Geography and Sociology. Proficiency in one or more foreign languages is highly desirable and the student should choose the language courses best suited to the development of his major interest." 10 "Before planning his program for the junior and senior years, the student should read carefully the description of a major in the College Bulletin. The major in Political Science • is not designed to be solely an expression of a vocational aim; it is the expression of a major educational· interest. Faculty advisers in the department will assist in the crystallization of this �terest and in planning a program designed to give it full expression." The advanced courses in the department, suita�le for undergraduate majors, were classified into the nf'ollowing five groups: American Government and Politics, Government and Politics Ab.road, International Relations, Political and Juristic Theory, and Public Ad.ministration. Students were urged to elect, with the help of their advisers, courses from each of these main subdivisions as well as a limited number of related courses in other departments to make up the forty to sixty credit hours of work required for the major. Courses were added at this time on the Soviet Union in World Affairs, and Problems of the Western Pacific. 1948-49 saw the addition of courses in Public Personnel Admin- istration, the National Government and the National Economy, the Un�ted States in World Affairs, the Domestic P·olitics. of the Soviet Union, and Soviet Politics. In 1949-50 courses added to the departmental offerings were the Soviet Union and its Satellites, Special Problems in Constitutional Law, Special Problems 'Of British Politics and Policy, Non�Rational Factors in Politics, .and Contemporary Political Problems. 11 In the catalog for the 1950-51 academic year, the preface to .the departmental course offerings was revised and extended to include information not only for majors but also-the __ �ppropriate course sequ�nces for students from the five colleges for which the depart- ment of political science operated as a service area. The concept of

"area studies" begins to appear. The requir\ments for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are altered to recognize eight fields of concentration instead of the former five. �udents are told to take all courses in the.area of concentration and three in each of three --- ·--· - -- other areas, one of which must be that of Political Theory. Courses in Minor Problems, and Interdepartmental Seminar were added to the offerings. Twilight School courses were listed as six. The summer quarter included nineteen. In the years 1953 to 1958 several more additions to the curri- culum were accomplished. A course on Southeast Asia was introduced in 1953-54, Government of Ohio and Regional Patterns in International Politics were added in 1955-56, An Introduction to Political Theory appeared in 1956-57. In 1957-58 the curricular changes included-- C:hanges in course titles: Ancient and Medieval Political Thought became The Socratic Method in Political Theory. And Modern Political Thought became The Scientific Method in Political Theory. Two new courses were added as National Security Policies Studies, Minor Problems and National Security Policies Studies, Seminar. In 1955-56 a course in the Government of Ohio and one in Regional Patterns in International Politics were added to the c9urse offerings. 12 In 1958-59, the prefatory catalog material relating to undergraduate courses was rewritten. The new text included, in part, the following information: "The elementary courses offered in the department... are designed to present a comprehensive overview of the political institu- tions and processes which man has created in the modern world. In addition, they serve sev!ral specific en�s: l).tto.form a part of the general education deemed necessary and desirable in the preparation of students in other undergraduate·cplleges; 2) to provide a sound foundation for later specialization'by majors in the College of Arts and Sciences in the discipline of Political Science; 3) to offer an important part of the basic training in the social sciences needed for admission to profe-Ssional schools such as Law," The catalog for 1959-61 covered a two year period. The course offerings remained substantially as before. However, the course descrip- tions were severely shortened and the names.gf-� the staff members respon- sible for offering each course were deleted. The rubric "Twilight School'! was changed to "Part Time Education." The 1961-62 catalog returned substantially to the earlier format. Except for the deletion of Mr. Mansfield's name and the substitution of Mr. Helm's as Chairman, the staff list was unchanged. The theory courses underwent another change of name to History of Political Theory I, II and III, each dealing·with a different historical period. The course on Regional Patterns in International Politics was sub-divided into six subcourses, each relating to a different geographical area. Twilight Courses and Part Time Education were removed from the college 13 and announcements and published separately. The summer quarter courses also were eliminated. The long explanations of the purpose of the introduc�ory courses and the political science major were moved out of the course announcements. By 1963-64 Mr, Herson had taken'over the Chairmanship and Mr. Furniss and Mr. Wilhe� had been added to the faculty. One new course . \ on "Presidential Leadership and the Presidency" given by Mr. Hale also appears. The 1964-65 catalog presents a completely new format, The pages are larger, the material appears in two columns on each page, there are many abbreviations, necessitating the use of a key. The content, however, shows little ch�ge. There were two new courses: "Comparative Political Parties" offered by Mr. Christoph and "The Policy Process" offered by Mr. Hale, In 1967-68, the announcements are altered drastically by the with- drawal of most staff names from the course announcements. A completely new numbering scheme for the courses is put into effect. The old numbers appear near the new ones to aid those familiar with the old system to identify the new, Several new courses are added, But most importantly, the Department engaged in an extensive revision of its curriculum, eliminating some. half dozen courses and creating eighteen new courses--designed to reflect the directions within the discipline and the chang'ing·;·interests of the faculty. The full force of.;these curricular changes is to become manifest in the year 1969-70, Essentially, the new courses seek three things: To broaden the educational experiences offered the undergraduate major; 14 To expand the range of course offerings available to the graduate student; And to incorporate both the traditional and newer approaches to the study of Political Scienpe, In short, the reformed curriculum seeks to retain the pluralism which has long been the hallmark of the department while at the same time taking into account the skills and interests of the expanding membership of the Political �ience faculty .

In re.:::cnt years the department of political science has offered

three [;Cad.uate degrees: TI.1e Doctor of Philosophy, 'I'he Master of Arts and

'111..:: �:aster of Science in Public Administration. T'ne first ;:,:.A. degree

was conferred in 1915 on Arthur A. Schwartz. The first Ph.D. degree was granted in 1929 to Charles William Shull, The First M.S.P.A. went to Robert Nelson in 1933. The Ph D. has been granted in the political science l1epartment and

by the Graduate School to 66 candidates in the 60 years since the o.0p:::,:..�ti;1ent W3.S established. In the sa.."11e period the M.A. degree was

·:·:::.e Master of Science in Public Administration degree has had. 2.:1 i�teresting history. It was first proposed by E. A. Cottrell durir.g 2

his tenure as a professor of political science in 1917-1919. But it was

not until 1930 that the offering of this degree in the department of

political .:,cience was authorized by the Grad·..:..ate Council.

As originally designed this degree had a professional �uality.

Young men and women were to be prepared to serve as city managers and

_as civil servants in national, state and local govern.ments. A suggested

curriculum which appeared annually in th: University catalog included

courses from other departments (such as history and philosophy) and other

colleges (such as commerce and administration, education, engineering

and law).

I:r_ its early days the M.S.P.A. degree was built to a large extent

upon an uca.ergraduate curriculum of a detailed and fairly rigid

character offered in the College of Coilli�erce and Administration. But

as tiKe went on, the interest in this undergraduate program waned and it

was fina:ly dropped. This did not, however, prevent those interested

in the degree from taking courses in the College of Commerce and Admin­

istration, particularly in taxation and finance and in public regula­

tion of business.

In the :ate 40's the curriculum set forth in the catalog for the

M.S.P.A. degree became more and more complex. There were a few basic

courses and several optional ones arranged in such a manner as to serve

as preparation for specialized work in public employment. The city manager option was retained but public personnel administration, budgetin�

and finance, and legislative research were added.

It was also in the late 40's when the United States Navy chose

Ohio State as the center where Naval Officers would be trained for 3

higl'1er n.,ir:1inistrative careers. lfore than fif'ty such students received

the decree in 1947-51.

As tlle post-war bulge subsfo.:;d and. the program was reevaluated,

several chanses were made in it. Most important was the elimination

of sugcested curricula in the catalog. In the place of this the

ft:.nction and character of the degree were redefined in a broader wc..y as training for public service. The degree was used as a device

for avoiding the narrow limits of a c.egree confined to study in one

depart;;10;.1t a.nd expanding the available courses to all those pertinent to the objectives of the student for which he possessed the necessary

�rere�uisites. T.�is change of emphasis had the result of encouraging

st�dents to range over a wider area in the choice of their courses. i:... ;..r,,os:. every final oral examination included as a minimum one represen­

"'c:.:ci .. ve examiner from a cognate field.

Witb. the creation of the College of Administrative Science in the

C"r:iversity in 1968, the M.S.P.A. degree as O.S.U. has knoi-m it for nearly forty years seems doomed to extinction. The new college has secured a:;)proval from the Graduate Council for the creation of the de[;ree

::-���� of Public Administration at the undergraduate (and perhaps

��00�·c.:.u. In shortest compass, t�e n-..:s:ber of fields reg_uired for the 4

qualifying examination were reduced from four to two (a major and a

minor field) and in addition, each candidate is required to complete the

Proseminars (A canvass of appropriate literature and methodologies) for

each of the four fields which now constitute the Ph.D. program:

American Government; Comparative Government; International Relations and

Political Theory. An enhanced understanding of the program may be gained from the

following statement of fields and subfields within the program.

I. American Government

The American government-political behavior field is divided into six sub-fields. The sub-fields are:

A. Public Law B. Public Administration C. State and Local Government D. National Executive and Legislative Institutions E. Political Parties and Pressure Groups F. Public Opinion and Socialization

The content of each sub-field includes:

A. Public Law

1. This sub-field analyses leading constitutional principles as interpreted by the courts: the judicial process as the 1:;ask of applying, interpreting, and adjusting law; the policy role of the courts; the elements of judicial decision-making; and the nature, functions, purposes, and limitations of law. Courses in this sub-field include Administration of Justice (615), American Constitutional Law (616), and Public Law (818). 3. Public Administration

1. This sub-field investigates systenic problems in public administration, ends-means relationships, policy formulation, organ­ ization and management, methods of control and coordination, and responsibility. Courses in this sub-field include Principles of Public Administration I (610), Principles of Public Administration II (611), and Public Administration (813). C. State and Local Government

�. Courses in this sub-field examine the politics of state and local governments and of urban areas. Attention is given to institutions, ideologies, elites, parties, interest groups, 5

policies, policy processes, and the impact of the federal system. Courses include American M1.micipal Government ( 505), American State Government (605), and Municipal Government (807). D. National Executive and Legislative Institutions

1. This sub-field emphasizes the study of policy-making in the institutions of the American national government. It includes the study of the roles of institutional structure, elites, ideology, and organized interests in policy-making; the roles, powers, and responsibilities of the President; the institutional presidency, and the bureaucracy; the behavior of Congress; and the place of the national government in the federal system. Courses relevant to the sub-field include Presidential Leader­ ship and the Presidency (501), The National Government and the National Economy ( 620), LegiiJlation ( 677), The Policy Process (799), and American National Government and Institutions (801). E. Political Parties and Pressure Groups

1. Courses in this sub-field investigate party systems and or6anizations, party recruitment and campaigns, political participation, voting behavior, extremist movements, parties in the legislative process; the internaJ_ characteristics and involvement in legislative, administrative, and judicial processes of interest groups; and normative concerns which link parties to the political process. Courses in this sub-field include American Political Parties and Pressure Groups (675), Basic Theories in the Study of Politics and Political Behavior (775), and Political Parties and Pressure Groups (876). F. Public Opinion and Socialization

1. Topics of study in this sub-field include the acquisition oE values, norms, beliefs, attitudes, and information concerning politics, attitudes and attitude change; the impact of selected psychological and sociological factors on popular attitudes about political objc8ts; and survey methodology. Courses in this sub-field include Public Opinion and Political Behavior (676), and Political Parties and Pressure Groups (876) • .L.L. Co:.:parative Government

The Co::n:92.rative Goverr..nent field is divided into three sub-fields. The subfield.s are : 6

A. Comparative Approaches and MethodoJ.ogy B. Comparative Political Analysis C • Area Studies

The content of each sub-field includes:

A. Comparative Approaches and Methodology

1. Generalized survey and criticism of the major approaches to comparative political studies, including systems analysis, structural-functionalism, political development, political culture �nd comparative political processes (elites, groups, parties, administration and decision-making processes). The potentialities and limitations, and data collection problems associated with comparative analysis will also be considered.

B. Comparative Political Analysis

1. Specialized examination of theoretical problems and literature relevant to cross-national analysis of political parties and groups, political development, political processes, and political attitudes, behavior and culture.

C. A�ea Studies 1. Specialized studies of the theoretical problems and literature �elevant to specific geographic areas, including at present Western Europe and Great Britain, the Soviet Union anci Eastern Europe, East and Southeast Asia, and America. Particular attention will also be p.s.id to study of individual countries or groups of coillltries within these areas, where these are seen ar:d. where the existence of adeQ.uate literature permits the development of more specialized attention.

III. L.. te:r·national Relations

The :nternational Relations fielci is divided into four sub-fields. The sub-field.s are:

..:--:.. . !nternational Processes :nternational Organizations c. N2-tional and Cross-National Analysis D. Folicy and Policy Processes The content of each sub-field includes:

A. International Processes

1. This sub-field will focus on interaction processes at the international level and will emphasize studies of the balance 7

of :9ower, inte8ration, conflict, bargaining, negotiation a,nd diplomacy, in�2rnational co:tTu�unications, and historical and hypothetical international systems.

B. International O:ganizations

1. This s1...0-field will emphasize extant and historical inter­ national organizations such as the League of Nations and the United Nations as well as regional economic, political, and military organizations such as the Common Market, OECD, and NATO.

C. National and Cross-National Analysis

l. This sub-field will focus on the nations as the primary actor in international politics. It will include comparative foreign policy and the rapidly11 expanding cross-national studies in IR. Com·.:,0s on 11r.ational foreign policies such as American and Soviet foreign1 policy11 will be included under this sub-field. In addition, 1regio:::1al IR courses such as the "IR of Communist Systems" or "IR of Latin America II would be included u...1der this grouping.

D. Policy and Policy Processes

1. This sub-field will examine:

a. processes of policy-ma.king

b. selected contemporary national and international policies and issues such as forejgn economic assistance, deterrence, arms control, disarmament policies, and civil­ fililitary relations

c. methods and techniques of policy analysis

IV. Political Theory

Students offering a major in political theory will be required to prepare at le&.st fo-J.r of the following areas (including two of the "historical" units); students offering a minor will be required to offer any two of �ne areas. Each area represents a central focus and involves reference to a characteristic cognate discipline. There are inevitable and appro­ p�iate overlappings among the areas.

T�e political theory field is divided into seven sub-fields. The sub­ fi<;;;lds are:

..-.... Classical Political T�eorists .u.,-.; Mociern Political Theorists c. Contemporary Political Theorists D. Beliefs, Doctrines, and Ideologies 8

E. Varieties of Political Theory F. Political Concepts G. Jurisprudence The content of each sub-field includes: A. Political theorists in historical context: these three areas are intended to concentrate on central problems of political theory as they are developed in the writings of the major political theorists. Works will be studied in sc;>cial, political, and intellectual contexts insofar as this is necessary in order to interpret and evaluate their theoretical import. Studies in this area will draw on work of historians,including but not limited to that of intellectual historians. 1. Political theorists from Plato to Marsilius of Padua. 2. Political theorists from Mac)µ.avelli to Bentham. 3. Political theorists from Hegel to the present. B. Problems of political theory. 4. Beliefs, doctrines, and ideologies. a. Drawing on the work of sociologists and social psycholo­ gists as well as on that of other political scientists, studies in this area emphasize the interplay between the social and psychological uses of pqlitical doctrines and their contents. Within political science, this area connects most closely with1he concerns of those studying political movements and public opinion. What may be a distinctive contribution is the political theorist's attention to the cognitive yield of the doctrines being studied in thier capacities as psychological, social, and/or political phenomena. The histories and structures of doctrine like fascism, conmunism, pluralism, and others will be examined from this perspective (although, quite evidently, leading theorists in any or all of these traditions also merit attention from other points of view and are included in the historical and other units). 5. Varieties of political theory. a. Central focus in this area is to the philosophy of social science, especially on epistemological problems. The diverse uses of the term "theory" require attention to the philosophical literature from within the narrow boundaries of political science in order to explore connections among them, to distinguish levels or types of theoretical inquiry, to identify distinctive approaches to the problems of dis­ ciplining inquiries, and so on. Major emphasis will be on the possibilities of doing political theory purporting to answer the full range of questions characteristic of the 9

great tradition, but this will require extensive study of thought which deny theoretical standing, in any rigorous sense, to such grand 'theories' and doctrines. In other words, this area examines relations between the concerns characteristic of most political scientists and the concerns of those sometimes called "traditional political theorists." 6. Political concepts. a. The contemporary literature of political theory includes a major school which organizes its inquiries around such central concepts as power, representation, obligation, authority, sovereignty, and the like. Drawing on contempor­ ary moral and social philosophy, especially as developed in England and the United States, this work of conceptual explication, criticism, and clarification bears on the conceptualization of problems for empirical research as well as on the other issues of political theory. 7. Jurisprudence. a. The historical autonomy of this complex of problems and the wealth and variety of materials dealing with it justify a special unit for the study of philosophy of law. Attention will be paid to the concepts which legal systems develop, as well as the interests which law protects. The ideas of various schools of juristic thought will be examined, pa.rticularl,1' insofar as they bear on standard political theoretical concerns such as sovereignty, obligation, justice and the like. c., DEGREES GRANTED
