We had a great time being able to gather in small, socially distanced groups at Lynd’s fruit farm today! Thanks to everyone who came out!
Have you have been running out of clothes lately? Are you tired of doing so much laundry? Our fearless Treasurer is here to the rescue! Check out the Stater Gear shop here to nab some of the newest Ohio Staters merch! The store closes on the 12th and orders will be shipped on the 23rd.
Did you know that, in 1870, The Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College was established by the Ohio General Assembly? Three years later, instruction began on September 17, 1873. So today is the 147th anniversary of classes! In 1878 the institution’s name was changed to The Ohio State University and the first class, composed of six men, graduated. One year later, in 1879, the first woman graduated. And 45 years after our beloved university was established, the chimes in Orton Hall rang for the first time – February 22, 1915.
(Thank you to our faculty treasurer Cathy for some of the cool facts about today’s historical significance!)
Check out some of the most recent articles, artifacts, and cool pieces of Stater and Buckeye history our diligent Traditions committee has shared with us at our last couple of luncheons!
