History
Colonial Start
George Washington declared "the southeast Ohio settlement is not a coincidence, but the result of careful consideration of wise, wise, and patriotic people." The Confederation Congress, which operates under the Confederate Budget, does not work with an executive or cabinet. The role of the executive is transacted from a Congressional committee or a designated person. The 1787 Ordinance made Ohio University the first hired through Congressional action, with the aim of expanding education. In addition, Rule 1787 states: "Religion, morality and knowledge necessary for good governance and the happiness of mankind, schools and means of education will forever be encouraged." This nickname is engraved at the university's main college gate.
End of the 18th and 19th centuries
The University was first envisioned by Manasseh Cutler, who is credited as the founder of the school along with Revolutionary War Brigadier General Rufus Putnam. Cutler had been pastor of the Washington Army. The institute's first name is the American University. President Thomas Jefferson's policy initiatives include a westward expansion of the new state, with the addition of some territory to the US state.
In 1797, the settlers from Marietta traveled downriver in the Ohio River and ascended to the Hocking River to set up a location for school, establishing Athens for its direct location between the original capital of Chillicothe and Marietta. In 1802 approval was granted by the territorial government for the establishment of American Western University, but the school was not operated under that name.
Ohio University was recognized by the new state on 18 February 1804, as its charter was certified by the new General Assembly of the state. This last consent came about eleven months after Ohio was accepted into the Union. The first three students were enrolled in 1809. Two first undergraduate degrees were awarded in 1815.
20th century
The 20th century experienced dramatic growth in student enrollment, academic bids, and research facilities. Between 1955 and 1970, bachelor registration was threefold (from 7,000 to 20,000). During this era, the campus grew, with the construction of 25 new dormitories located on two new green campuses, with radio and television stations, research facilities and classrooms, and the construction of a 13,000-seat sports arena (Convention Center). It is now the 25th largest housing camp in America.
In 1964, US President Johnson publicly referred to his Great Society initiative for the first time at College Green, taking Ohio U to homes across America and gathering news on all continents.
In 1975, Ohio established a medical school, known as the Ohio University Heritage College of Medicine. Heritage is the only medical college in the state that rewards D.O. degree. In 2011, the college received the largest private donation ever given to a medical college in the US, 240,000 live alumni now consider their Ohio alma mater. Ohio is consistently classified among the best US public universities. News & amp; World Report ranks "Best American Colleges," and is named by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a Doctor/Higher Research Institution. The Ohio Library contains over 3 million volumes bound.

Campus
The university is a residential campus in Athens, Ohio, overlooking the Hocking River. Built under the presidency of Jefferson, New England and Early Americana Federalist themes are prevalent in the early architecture of the university. The construction of the campus began in 1812 with the establishment of a university center building, Manasseh Cutler Hall, a registered national landmark, and was built only 20 years after the White House. The campus is listed as one of the most beautiful housing campuses in the United States; the university has also adopted modern elements into its campus without displacing the structure of the early American period. The "Ivy League climate" of college and early colonial roots was asked Time to call Ohio University "Harvard on the Hocking."
College College Green
Historic College Green is a rectangular grassy courtyard and an important campus location: Manasseh Cutler Hall, President's Office; Wilson Hall, College of Arts and Sciences; McGuffey Hall, named William McGuffey; and University Gateway. These three original main structures are the flagship element of the official university logo today and remain in line with their original designs over 200 years ago. College Green has changed little in the last two centuries, which contributed to the colonial university appearance. Green, inspired by the founders of the university, is based on the classic layout of the traditional English and New England cities and is similar to the university quadrangles.
College Green features the Galbreath Chapel, the spire of a tower, on top of it with brass weather vanes, made like a ledge from Nash's All Souls Church in London. Other buildings at College Green include Chubb Hall, home for Graduate Admissions as well as Bursar and Clerk Offices; Ellis Hall, home to the departments of English, Classical and World Religion, and Philosophy; Templeton-Blackburn Memorial Auditorium; as well as Bryan Hall, the upmarket dormitory hall. College Green is framed by two major university gates. The Gateway Alumni, built in 1915, features well-known verses for the university community that can be read on entering and leaving the campus. The words above the gate ("That You May Grow In Knowledge, Wisdom and Love") were borrowed from the Latin phrase written above the gate to the University of Padua, Italy, and dedicated at the beginning of the 20th century on the 100th anniversary of the graduating class first university. The newer College gates, built in the 1960s, feature words taken from the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 on public education and its founding as one of the first public universities in America. The bronze university seal, embedded in the college gate, maintains the tradition that new students should avoid stepping on it or risking bad luck. The closest bells of Cutler's bell ring rings are heard at the hour and the Alma Mater university sounds during the day, which can be heard throughout the city and the surrounding valleys, as it has been since 1820.
John Calhoun Baker University Center
John Calhoun Baker University Center, which opened in January 2007, is named after John Calhoun Baker, the 14th President of Ohio. The facility replaces the original Baker Center located on East Union Street across from College Green and serves as a campus activity center. Electronic university maps and virtual university e-tours, available at the central and online information desk, direct visitors throughout the campus.
The five-story facility has been praised by the International Trade Union Association for its visual appeal and consistency with the historic classic campus theme. The building features Federal architecture and large windows that recognize plenty of natural light and provide a great campus view. In contrast to the red brick and exterior white columns, the interior has a more contemporary style with high vaulted ceilings, ergonomic furniture and sage, prem and mocha color schemes. Terrazzo's mosaic globe Earth aspect is embedded in the Grand Atrium from the main entrance to the building, featuring rotunda with curved walls, monumental wooden staircases, and large free-form hanging lamps. The unusual acoustic quality of the building is the fact that each individual stands at the center of the exact decorative arrow on the rotunda floor that enters and faces its entrance, speaks or even whispers, resulting in a unique echo of echoes similar to the effect made at the central Rotunda Capitol of the United States in Washington, DC Another unique feature is the fountain escalator system, the only escalator in southeastern Ohio, which intersects a large atrium and connects College Green and West Green. An outdoor second floor, with a terraced terrace, leads a beautiful natural pool as well as partial views of Peden Stadium and Byrd Arena.
The Baker Center contains a large food court called West 82; a pub bistro called Latitude 39; a Grand Ballroom; The Honors Collegium, The Wall of Presidents, Bobcat Student Lounge, a store called Bobcat Depot that sells clothes, computers, and accessories; 400 seat theater; learning area; computer lab; administrative offices; and many conference rooms. The Front Room, a large coffee shop named after a popular university rathskeller, features stage, artwork, and community fireplaces. The restaurant serves Starbucks products and university bakeries and is on the fourth floor, which opens onto its own outdoor patio and to the crossroads of Park Place and Court Streets, making it an attractive place for students among the classes. Other facilities include the US Post Office and Trisolini Art Gallery, named after a prominent member of the art faculty.
Vernon R. Alden

East Green
There are twelve dormitories in East Green. The university area includes three of the steepest walkways on the hilly Athens campus: Morton Hill, Bryan Hall's porch and staircase, and Jefferson Hill. Every street is bright enough and gives easy access for East Green people to the classroom if they are willing to walk or cycle. The Green Green's Scott Quad, as lore maintains, is a residence space that provides for a successful relationship with people who kiss under the arches of its gates.
South Green
Green South includes areas near Emeriti Park, and extends along the Hocking River valley. There are twenty-four halls living in South Green, after the addition of four new dormitories in the summer of 2015. South Green is home to several facilities, including:

Arts and Science
The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest campus on the Athens campus with 18 departments and various interdisciplinary programs, research centers, and institutes. Colleges provide key instruction for about one-third of departments on campus and provide most general education programs. At the graduate level, colleges offer a variety of master programs, and eight departments offer doctoral degrees. Various scientific pursuits, funded research projects, and creative activities are undertaken by college students and faculty.
Students who enter with ACT 25 or higher may apply for the Scholarship Program in Arts and Science. This integrated learning experience enables first year undergraduates to be selected to begin their academic goals by offering year-round intensive interaction with highly respected faculty. Junior or senior who has at least 3.5 GPA can qualify to graduate with "department honor." The opportunity to undertake a research project and/or write a thesis is provided by many departments in the College of Arts and Sciences for highly motivated students.
Colleges offer a diverse offering offering from natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, where there are many faculty members from national and international differences.
Business
The College of Business was founded in 1927. It offers nine different majors and a small general business for students with non-business majors. After restructuring the entire university in 2010, it includes the Department of Sports Administration, which offers students a bachelor's degree in Sport Management and three graduate programs. Although there are university actions to increase enrollment, colleges are smaller than other national business schools, and all business classes are taught by professors, not graduate students. The college also offers an MBA program for Indian students at Christ University Bangalore. The college requires students to take four classes in 'cluster' format, or simultaneous sequencing. In clusters, students work together and complete research projects. The students then receive grades in all four of their classes on the project. This program is an opportunity for students of different majors to interact and is considered a good illustration of how the situation is often structured in the business world. Accounting Schools are nationally recognized. The School promotes a Business Activity Model in its middle class that proves to be beneficial. Designed to mimic the experience of auditors, accounting students often credited the model by preparing them for an internship. One of the authors of the business activity model, Connie Esmond-Kiger, was named Director of School of Accounting in 2007. She is also advisor to the Ohio Beta Alpha Psi chapter, majoring in finance. Chapter Ohio maintains Superior status and has won national awards.
Schey Sales Center was started in 1997 by the Ohio Supervisory Board and offers professional sales certificates to students. The certificate is open to all Ohio students, and requires students to complete 28 credit hours of sales class as well as complete a 300 hour sales internship. Three entities oversee the program: Professional Sales Advisory Board (PSAB), consisting of sales professionals who reward the program with money or advice on industrial change; support staff, including professors at Ohio University who advise students in the program; and lastly, a group of students who run the program and they are referred to as the Advisory Council of Candidates, formed in 2004. The center hosts a sales symposium every spring quarter where professional speakers discuss market changes, sales strategies, and profits. In addition, sales students took first place at the National College Sales Competition in 2009. There are 16 active student organizations that function on campus. Chapters from three national business fraternities, the organization of Christian Business Leadership, and the community or brotherhood to almost every major sign of this. Copeland Hall, campus chairs, has six computer labs and two computer study rooms, as well as many conference rooms and small group rooms. The Equality Management Group College students, beginning in 2003, used $ 3.3 million from universities to invest. Unlike many other schools, the Ohio group is open to all undergraduates and is truly a student. The group's portfolio has risen 51.29%, from the beginning, beating S & amp; P 500 of 42.61%. The Calon Advisory Council is a student-centered organization run by students and fully self-funded. They pay for their classes, professors, events, and resources. The University does not help any of the financial responsibilities. Money is collected from companies that invest in this program solely to recruit 200 students working towards a sales certificate.
