This statue of John R. Buchtel stands in the middle of the campus he helped found in 1870. forty-five The Alma Mater

Chorus

The Alma Mater for The University of Akron was written by the Rev. Augustus B. Church, who was the last Universalist clergy to serve as president of Buchtel College (1901–1912). He was also the firstperson ­ to assume the board responsibilities of chief executive officer. In fact, Church served both aspresident ­ and as a trustee of the institution — as well as pastor of the First Universalist Church of Akron. Dr. Church understood the importance of higher education as a means to improve society, and he worked diligently on projects to successfully link the educational efforts of Buchtel College with the needs of a growing city. During his presidency, Buchtel College offered the world’s first courses in rubber chemistry (1909).

forty-six The Akron Blue and Gold

The University of Akron’s fight song, “The Akron Blue and Gold,” was written in 1939 by Fred Waring, nationally known composer and leader of the wildly popular band, “Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians.” In response to a request from the University’s ­student newspaper, Waring wrote “a distinctive song” for The University of Akron. “The Akron Blue and Gold” premiered over hisn bc hookup on November 17, 1939, and has been used as the University’s fight song ever since.

forty-seven The University of Akron: A Proud Tradition

he Ohio Universalist Convention established a small liberal arts college in Akron in 1870 and named it after one of the city’s prominent industrialists, John R . Buchtel . It was Buchtel who led a Tgroup of 100 individuals and 13 businesses in a fundraising campaign to build the college . On July 4, 1871, thousands of citizens turned out to witness the results of that initiative, joining in a great celebration as the cornerstone was laid for a single but impressive structure that constituted Buchtel College . Both a visionary and pragmatist, Buchtel believed that the vigor of any city is closely tied to the proximity of a high-quality institution of higher education . Decades of progress, both for the city and for the college he helped to launch, have proven him right . OToday, The University of Akron continues to invigorate the region, providing top-ranked and in-demand degree programs ranging from associate through doctoral degrees in the liberal arts, sciences, health care, engineering, business, law, education and more . Students gain real-world experience through internships, co-ops, study abroad and other career- focused learning opportunities . Accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and classified at the highest level as a comprehensive, doctoral-degree-granting institution, the University serves students from all over the country and world through five degree-granting colleges and a School of Law on the main campus and through satellite campuses in Lakewood, Medina and Orrville . Today, more than 179,000 of its alumni live and work around the globe . The University of Akron Celebrates 150 Years When John R . Buchtel saw the cornerstone laid for Buchtel College, he pledged that the new school, built on a hilltop overlooking Akron, would bring honor and pride to the city and state . Over the next 150 years, The University of Akron kept and exceeded the promise of its founder, rising to become one of Ohio’s most influential public urban research ­universities . Among its many achievements, the University was the first in the world to offer courses in rubber chemistry . It pioneered one of the country’s first engineering co-op programs, which remains a national model . In World War II, the U S. . government called upon the University to help develop synthetic rubber for the Allied forces . When the rubber industry declined, the University rose to new heights of innovation, leading the world in polymer science and polymer engineering . Today, the University continues to rise, advancing research and knowledge in engineering, business, health care, the arts and sciences, education and law . It continues to uplift the region through hundreds of partnerships with business, industry, academia and government . It continues to produce leaders who, joining a proud community of more than 170,000 alumni, are making a difference throughout the world . It continues to keep its founder’s promise . forty-eight
