Charging campus guests for the air they breathe? Imposing a sunshine tax for games at The Horseshoe? Asking anyone with a buckeye tree in their yard for royalties? As if there is some other Ohio State or Ohio State University that is creating great confusion, and we are all crying out for some way to distinguish them. There is not, of course. It might be a sound business decision, though even that is up for debate, but it makes Ohio State look smug. And just a tad insecure, as Ohio University was quick to point out Wednesday.
The bill was introduced by Reuben P. Cannon, a member of the Ohio House of Representatives. Wilson faculty ''02 won for Physics in How many Buckeyes have won the Pulitzer Prize? Paul H. A committee of three students decided on the colors for the university during the Spring Term. The original colors selected for OSU were orange and black. However, because Princeton had already chosen those colors, the committee decided to change their decision to scarlet and gray.
Alice Townshend, one of the members on the committee, reported that the colors did not signify anything. Instead, the committee wanted to choose something that was a nice combination and had not been used by any other college. Orton Hall is constructed of building stone from the state of Ohio. The stone is arranged in the order it exists in the bedrock of the state. The older stone forms the lower part of the building, the newer stone the upper part. The stone work in the entrance hall is also completely from Ohio, including the floor tiles which are made of Ohio clay.
The first Ohio Union is now Hale Hall. The cornerstone laying ceremony for the "old" Ohio Union was held on April 12, The building opened in the spring of and was the first student union to be built at a state university and the fourth of its kind in the United States. The original campus design did not include the Oval or anything similar. However, in the master plan for the campus proposed a group of buildings around a central open space. The first reference to this space as "the oval" was in Since then the Oval, approximately 11 acres, has been the scene of a great variety of student, faculty, and alumni activities.
Originally, a spring supplied much of the water for Mirror Lake and was a source of drinking water for both the campus and people living nearby. A city sewer was constructed in the ravine in on the south side of the lake, but it was so poorly built that the lake and spring disappeared.
The sewer was reconstructed in and water once again flowed through the spring. The increasing coverage of the ground surface by campus buildings and paved areas permanently dried up the spring in the s. After that time, well water, river water, and city water became the sources used to feed water into the lake. The lake holds 91, cubic feet of water.
OSU is located on the 40th latitude, which measures the distance north or south of the Equator. OSU is 40 degrees north of the Equator. The stone marker is located between University Hall and the Main Library. Maudine was the Homecoming Queen in , nominated by students in the College of Agriculture. However, she was also a Holstein cow!
Maudine was chosen based on the disqualification of the other candidates due to voting improprieties. Maudine was even a part of the Homecoming parade, although she was left in the barn during the dance. As it should have. Just as most of these attempts to pilfer from our lexicon do.
