Book Description
Excerpt from Ohio State University, the College of Engineering, 1898-1904: Its Courses of Instruction, Buildings, and Equipment Under an act of Congress passed July 2, 1862, the State of Ohio received from the United States a large grant of the public lands for the purpose of establishing a college where the leading objects shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such a manner as the legislatures of the states may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical educa tion of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. In accordance with this act, the Ohio State University was founded by the State as 'a public institution of learning. The governing body of the insti tution is a Board of Trustees, appointed by the Governor of the State for terms of seven years, as provided in the law organizing the University. The original endowment has been supplemented, and the objects of the University promoted, by a permanent annual grant from the United States, under an act of 1890, by special appropriations of the General Assembly; and ini1891, by a permanent annual grant from the State, which grant was doubled by the Legislature of 1896. In accordance with the spirit of the law under which it is organized, the University aims to furnish ample facilities for education in the liberal and industrial arts, the sciences and the languages, and for thorough technical and professional study of agriculture, engineering in its various departments, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and law. Through the aid which has been received from the United States and from the State it is enabled to offer its privi leges, with a slight charge for incidental expenses, to all persons of either sex who are qualified for admission. The University is situated within the corporate limits of the city of Columbus, two miles north of the Union Depot and about three miles from the State Capitol. The University grounds consist of three hundred and thirty acres. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
