Copyright by Pouneh Moghadam Alcott 1979 PLEASE NOTE: in All Cases This Material Has Been Filmed 1N the Best Possible Way from the Available Copy INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot hp reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints <. purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy. University Microfilms International 3 0 1 ) N /F F- B ROAD. ANN AHBOH.

CALENDAR OF THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, 1862-1912 .............................. 228 vii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION An Act of Congress, later called the Morrill Act, signed by President Lincoln on July 2, 1862, provided fed­ eral grants of land to each state as a permanent endowment to establish and maintain the so-called land grant colleges and universities, which were to be devoted primarily to instruction in the sciences related to agriculture and the mechanic arts and were to be open to the masses. In March 22, 1970, after several years of delay due to much political infighting and interest-group rivalry, the Ohio General Assembly passed an Act, later called the Charter Act of the College, which provided for "A college to be styled the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College. The leading object shall be, without excluding military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agricultural and mechanical art.The government of the college was vested in a Board of Trustees, whose mem­ bers were to be appointed by the Governor, subject to con­ firmation by the Ohio Senate. In May, 1878, after the A. and M. College had been opened and following a long period of somewhat bitter public controversy over the issue of the title for the university, the General Assembly finally 1 2 changed the name to the present one. The new title, The Ohio State University, was decided to be more representa­ tive of the aims and the curriculum offered than the pre­ vious title which had caused the college to be nicknamed by some of her critics "the Cow College in the Cornfield." The major cause of delay in the passage of Charter Act had been the conflict between the agricultural interests of rural areas and the mechanical and industrial interests of emerging urban centers. There was, however,

Smith Dr. C. Elizabeth Raymond/Dissertation Advisor May, 2017 Copyright by Timothy P. Smith 2017 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by TIMOTHY P. SMITH entitled Redefining the Collegiate Way: The Rise of State Colleges and the Expanding Conception of the College Experience, 1890-1930 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Dennis Dworkin, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Catherine Chaput, Ph.D., Committee Member Rita Laden, Ed.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2017 i Abstract For over two hundred years, the college experience in the United States was defined by the traditions of historic eastern college, such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. This model of the college experience came to be seen as elite, private, and eastern. Representations of college life in popular novels reflected this idea and served to subtly reinforce the position of these colleges as the torchbearers for American higher education. However, as public higher education proliferated in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the dominance of such a narrative began to be challenged. With the passage of the Morrill Land–Grant College Act in 1862, the college experience was now open to reinterpretation because of the markedly different missions of state colleges as well as the new types of students who attended them.

  • Farmers, Alumni, and Administration at the Ohio State University
    Rivals for Governance of the Land-Grant University: Farmers, Alumni, and Administration at the Ohio State University, 1870-1910 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joshua Michael Harraman Graduate Program in Education: Educational Policy and Leadership The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Bruce Kimball, Advisor David Staley Tatiana Suspitsyna Bryan Warnick 1 Copyrighted by Joshua Michael Harraman 2019 2 Abstract Many believe that farmers were originally supportive of the land-grant colleges because of the focus on agricultural science as part of the land-grant curriculum. Although land-grant colleges and farmers are generally aligned in their interests and efforts today, the farmers of the 1850s-early 1900s actually challenged the land-grant colleges for control of governance and funding. Often these challenges occurred between farmers and colleges in Congress and state legislatures. Meanwhile, the alumni were a disorganized group prior to the 1910s that often challenged the university administration’s authority and control of the college. Yet, in order to compete with the farmers, the land-grant colleges needed to identify a group of advocates who would lobby legislatures on the land-grant colleges behalf. My research focuses on how one institution, the Ohio State University, used its alumni to parry the attacks of farmers in the early 1910s. Research has been limited on the relationship between the land-grant universities’ administration, farmers, and the alumni. Even more limited is the literature that exists about alumni relations during the formative years of the profession (1890-1920).

Presley ABSTRACT Black/African American alumni from Ohio State University in Columbus, OH are collective subjects in this research. The study has sought to discern and explicate the behaviors, experiences and attitudes of former Black students, now alumni, to effectively privilege their voices and viewpoints, which were previously not included in the scholarship and literature of African American Studies or Higher Education about the historic 1960s and 1970s. Determining how alumni experienced the Black Student Movement at Ohio State during the 1960s and 1970s has been the principal objective. Black students’ experiences and motivations were very different than popular Black Student Movement discourse suggests. Findings indicate Black students’ organized social activist behavior persisted effectively and sufficiently to be considered an example of modern social movements, worthy of respect like other social movements which have helped improve human conditions not only for themselves, but also for others including non-Black students at traditionally white institutions.
