Synopsis

Excerpt from History of the Ohio State University, Vol. 8: The Bevis Administration, 1940-1956 Much of what occurred on the Ohio State University campus during the first half of the administration of Howard L. Bevis has been dealt with in the so-called "75-year" history, entitled "History of the Ohio State University, 1873-1948." This was undertaken in connection with the year-long observance of three quarters of a century of the University's operation from its opening in September, 1873. As has been pointed out, there is some confusion in the University History series. Volume I was edited by Thomas C. Mendenhall, of the original faculty, from the manuscript of Alexis Cope, longtime secretary of the Board of Trustees and business manager. It covered the period from 1870 to 1910. Actually it dealt also with the years from the passage by Congress in 1862 of the Morrill or Land-Grant Act to the enactment by the Fifty-Ninth Ohio General Assembly in March, 1870 of H.B. No. 29. This latter act was fathered by Representative Reuben P. Cannon, of Aurora, Portage County, to "establish and maintain a Mechanical and Agricultural College." Volume II, which appeared in 1926, was written by Prof. Osman C. Hooper and covered the years from 1910 to 1926. But Volume III, which was issued in 1921, was concerned with the observance of the University's fiftieth anniversary in October, 1920. Volume IV, now out of print, consisted actually of three volumes. It was the work of Profs. Wilbur H. Siebert and Edgar H. McNeil, especially the former, and had to do with the University's part in World War I. Volumes V, VI and VII were special ones limited to specific events. Volume V contains the addresses and proceedings incident to the formal inauguration of President Howard L. Bevis on October 24-25, 1940. This volume appeared in 1941.
