STONE Treasurer of tke Board Proceedings of the Board of Trustees The Ohio State University OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, Columbus, Ohio, July 11, 1922. The Board of Trustees met at the University at 11 :00 a. m., pur- suant to adjournment. Present: John Kaiser, Chairman; T. C. Mendenhall, O. E. Brad- fute, J. F. Cunningham, L. E. Laybourne, B. F. McCann. *The President* presented* the following* report for* the considera-* tion of the Board of Trustees : July 5, 1922. Board of Trustees, Ohio State University. Gentlemen-I submit the following report with recommendations, for your consideration and action at the meeting to be held July 11, 1922: The proposals submitted involve a somewhat more radical and / different action from that taken by the Trustees June 19. I am willing to assume the responsibility for the recommendations on three ac- counts: 1. I have failed so far, through personal interviews with both sides, to find that the action of June 19 gives promise of being practicable and workable. 2. I am persuaded that the proposal I am making will be more acceptable to the Homeopathic profession than any other proposal or than the action already taken. 3. Assuming that the merger is not practicable, then the sooner the University is through with it, the better. The more completely the work is now done, the fewer will be the troubles and vexations for the future. Supplementary to the action taken by the Board of Trustees at the meeting held June 19, 1922, I therefore recommend: First, that the two chairs in Homeopathic Medicine as recommended in the majority report be abolished, effective August 15, 1922. Second, that the principal sums of money received from all sources be returned to the donors, without interest, said money to be paid from the interest on the endowment fund. Third, that the transfer of the hospital, and all appli- ances and materials that go with it, be made effective August 15, 1922. 3 Fourth, that the radium now in the possession of the Col- lege of Homeopathic Medicine be returned to Mr. Chas. F. Kettering or to such person or persons as may be designated. Fifth, that all research papers, drawings and the like, that may be construed practically as personal belongings, al- though technically the property of the University, but of no special importance to other than the original investigator, be assigned and transferred to the appropriate professor in the College of Homeopathic Medicine. Sixth, that duplicate records be authorized for the hos- pital, so that there may remain with the hospital the original records of all cases and, at the same time, a duplicate be pro- vided, for use of the faculty which had original jurisdiction. Seventh, that the Homeopathic Library be kept intact and transferred to such persons or organization as may later be determined u.pon. Eighth, that special provision be made for Dr. Wm. A. Humphrey on account of his injury. Ninth, that a suitable leave of absence with salary be provided for, in the case of such members of the faculty as would ordinarily be entitled to it, under the usual custom of the University. In view of the above considerations, I have assumed the executive authority of deferring the transfer of the hospital, as contemplated by the action of June 19, until July 11. Yours very truly, (Signed) W. 0. THOMPSON, PresUlent. Upon motion, the above recommendations as made by the Presi- dent we<"e approved and aci.opteu. * * * * * * Upon motion, the President was directed to present to tbe Board at a future meeting his recommendations in the matter of salanes to i be paid during the coming year to the former members of the instruc- tional staff of the College of Homeopathic Medicine. The Presid~nt was further directed to submit recommendations to the Board c.over- ing the return of equipment or gifts made to the College of Homeo- pathic Medicine by the friends of Homeopathy. * * * * * * The President presented the proposed budget for the College of , Medicine and the Hospital for the coming year which was approYed .:i with the exception that the budget adopted this day shall carry no in- creases in salaries. The President was directed to submit at a later meeting his recommendations as to increase of salaries for the in- structional staff of the College of Medicine. * * * * * '* The President announced for the information of the Trustees the fact of the existence of the Allen Hoskins Memorial Foundation. This fund was started by Mr. S. A. Hoskins, the father, and friends. The foundation is to consist of a loan fund for foreign students. * * * * * * The President presented a resolution adopted by the Columbus Rationalist Society concerning the Rural Pastor's School now in ses- 4 sion at the University. On motion, this resolution was ordered re- ceived and filed. *On motion, the* action of *the President* granting the* use of certain* rooms for the Summer School for Pastors was approved. * * * * * * The Secretary presented the following communication from the Secretary of the Ohio State University Association, which was ordered filed: June 30, 1922. Mr. Carl Steeb, Secretary The Board of Trustees. My dear Mr. Steeb--May I ask you, as Secretary of the Board of Trustees to transmit to that Board the following resolution whic!1 was unanimously adopted by the Ohio State University Association in its annual business meeting on the Campus on the afternoon of June 10, 1922. RESOLUTION "Inasmuch as Pomerene Hall, comprising a women's union and gymnasium, will be ready for occupancy next au- tumn, Resolved, that we the members of the Almuni Associa- tion at the meeting of June 10, 1922, respectfully recommend to the Pr.esident and Board of Trustees the complete separa- tion of the Physical Education for Women from that for the Men and that a woman director of undoubted qualifications be placed at the head of the former to build up a Department such as will fit the young- women of the University for the duties of life that await them." Sincerely yours, (Signed) J. L. MORRILL, Alumni Secretary. * * * * * * The Secretary presented the following report of the Board of . Visitors of the Ohio State University Association, which was ordered filed: 1. The Board of Visitors of the Alumni Association wishes to express the hope that the majority report of the Committee on Medical Schools of the Trustees will be adopted by the Board of Trustees in the near future. The Board of Visitors believes that a suitable fusion of the two schools will result in one of the most important educational advances made by the University in recent years. The Board of Visitors learns with great pleasure that plans for a hospital and a medical science building have been prepared for the University Medical School and that both will be erected in the near future. This construction will greatly aid in the proper development of a strong University Medical School. 2. The Board wishes to reaffirm its minute of last year on the vital importance of the appointment of a men's councillor. 3. The Board also wishes to reaffirm its minute of1ast year dis- approving of the use of student instructors in the freshman classes. 4. Whereas the State Reorganization law takes from the Board of Trustees of the Ohio State University the power to plan, contract 5 for, construct and repair its own buildings, and vests this power in the State Highway Commission, therefore we recommend: (1) That the Alumni Association favor the adoption of an amendment to that law to the effect that nothing in the sec- tion defining the duties of the State Highway Department shall apply to the educational institutions having Boards of Trustees, and (2) That the President of the Alumni Association ap- point a committee of four members to co-operate with similar committees from the Boards of Trustees and the faculties of this and other universities in the state to secure the adoption of such amendment. 5. Resolved that the Trustees of the University be asked to con- sider the establishment of night courses of University grade for those graduates who may wish to continue their University studies or for teachers and others who wish special instruction in University sub- jects. · 6. It was moved that the continuation of the One-eighth Mill Tax to support the necessary building construction to take care of the nor- mal University growth be urged. 7. Resolved, That the Board of Visitors requests the Trustees that the forest on the northeast corner of the University grounds back of Ohio Field be permanently preserved. * Upon* motion,* the Department of Physical* Education* was divided* into two departments: Physical Education for Men and, second, Phys- ical Education for Women, effective at once. Upon motinn, it was agreed that the permanent personnel in the Department of Physical Education shall be re-elected for the next year at the present salaries, and the President was directed to prepare for the approval of the Board revised budgets for the two departments.

When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap.

  • Redefining the Collegiate Way: the Rise of State Colleges and the Expanding Conception of the College Experience, 1890-1930
    University of Nevada, Reno Redefining the Collegiate Way: The Rise of State Colleges and the Expanding Conception of the College Experience, 1890-1930 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Timothy P. 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).

For more information, please contact [email protected]. THE BLACK STUDENT MOVEMENT AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY “Black, Scarlet and Gray” by GREER C. STANFORD-RANDLE Under the Direction of Cora A. 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.

  • Why Universities Failed to Build Endowments
    Fundraising and Endowment Building at a Land Grant University During the Critical Period, 1910-1940: The Failure of Ohio State Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Benjamin A. Johnson Graduate Program in Education: Policy and Leadership The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Bruce Kimball, Advisor Professor Bryan Warnick Professor Ann Allen Professor Robert Lawson Graduate Faculty Representative: Professor James Lang ii Copyrighted by Benjamin A. Johnson 2013 Abstract The purpose of this research is to provide an understanding of the financial strategy and shortcomings of The Ohio State University (OSU) in the early 1900s. It focuses on key moments in educational philanthropy, particularly endowment building, at OSU, with comparisons to the University of Michigan (U-M), and occasionally Harvard University. Located in the center of the midwestern state of Ohio, OSU might be considered a quintessential public university, facing challenges comparable to other colleges and universities. This dissertation draws on extensive original source material from OSU’s archives to show the dynamic interplay of university leaders in making key financial decisions. A variety of other primary and secondary sources from both OSU and U-M are also used. The chronological narrative presents the slow and halting journey of OSU toward private fundraising, endowment building, and the creation of the OSU Development Fund. To provide background, discussions on the land grant movement and the founding of OSU are included, as well as a description of the Ohio economy in the early 1900s.
