So successful was the undertang that in 1753 the Trt1stees secured a charter incorpor- ating "e Academy s..nd Charitable School". Under the skillful trainir.of the learned Rev.

Gathering input from key informants in the community representing visual arts, education, business, individual artists and civic groups, the commission drafted a long-term plan for public art. In addition, research into public art best practices was used to develop the processes and procedures recommended in this plan. The commission’s goal is that the plan for public art will serve several purposes: • To identify and recognize the city’s past efforts and call attention to the city’s existing holdings. • To establish a vision and serve as a guide to lay the foundation for a comprehensive program for public art in the city.

    AN ANALYSIS OF GREEK-LETTER SOCIAL FRATERNITIES AS A FACTOR IN STUDENT LIFE AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY DISSERTATION Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By WILLIAM AUGUSTUS YARDLEY, B.S., M.A. The Ohio Sta'te University 195S Approved by: ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Initially, the writer wishes to acknowledge the time and counsel given by Alice Z. Seeman, Francis P. Robinson, Kenneth J. Arisman, and Earl W. Anderson. Inasmuch as the study was a pioneering venture in the field, their assistance was especially extensive and of particular value. The success of the study was dependent upon the cooperation and contribution of The Council of Fraternity Presidents and the individual chapters. This was realized through the kindliness of Dean of Men Mylin Ross and his assistant James McElhaney, and the graciousness of William Hand and Mort Merchey, chairman and secretary respectively of the Council of Fraternity Presidents. A third acknowledgment Is directed to the writer’s wife. Only because of her return to the teaching profes­ sion, in a position which was particularly strenuous, was it possible for this work to be completed under ideal circumstances. ’’Beanie" and our two children are due a perpetual expression of gratitude. \ 115927 TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I.
