The Ohio State University was highly controversial when it was first envisioned in the 1860s. Made possible by the Land-Grant Act signed by President Lincoln, the Ohio General Assembly established the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College. Today, Ohio State has the second-largest enrollment in the U.S., boasting an estimated 64,000 current students. This book looks at the factors of Ohio State's founding, early leaders and the historic and contemporary buildings that give the Midwestern campus character.
