===19th century=== [[File:University Hall (Ohio State University).jpg|thumb|[[University Hall (Ohio State University)|University Hall]] was the first building on campus, built in 1873 and reconstructed in 1976|left]]

The university was established in 1870 as a [[land-grant university]] named Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College.{{cite web|title=Ohio State History and Traditions|url=https://news.osu.edu/history.html|publisher=The Ohio State University|access-date=July 1, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150216131558/http://news.osu.edu/history.html|archive-date=February 16, 2015|url-status=dead}} The proposal of a manufacturing and agriculture university in central Ohio was initially met in the 1870s with hostility from the state's agricultural interests, and with competition for resources from [[Ohio University]] and [[Miami University]].{{citation needed|date=March 2026}} The university opened its doors to 24 students on September 17, 1873. In 1878, the first class of six men graduated. The first woman graduated the following year. Also in 1878, the Ohio legislature recognized an expanded scope for the university by changing its name to "the Ohio State University".{{cite web|url=http://library.osu.edu/find/collections/the-ohio-state-university-archives/buckeye-history/faqs#1 |title= Why are we called "THE" Ohio State University"? |work=FAQs |publisher=The Ohio State University Libraries |date=February 21, 2014 |quote=The statute has quote marks, and states "shall be known and designated hereafter as 'The Ohio State University{{'"}}.|access-date=September 15, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140815234443/http://library.osu.edu/find/collections/the-ohio-state-university-archives/buckeye-history/faqs/#1|archive-date=August 15, 2014|url-status=dead}}The government of Ohio, in its official web site listing the state's compiled laws: "3335.01 The Ohio State University. The educational institution originally designated as the Ohio agricultural and mechanical college shall be known as "The Ohio State University"." http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/3335

===20th century=== In 1906, Ohio State president [[William Oxley Thompson]], along with the university's supporters in the state legislature, put forth the [[Lybarger Bill]] with the aim of shifting virtually all higher education support to the continued development of Ohio State while funding only the "[[normal school]]" functions of the state's other public universities. Although the Lybarger Bill failed narrowly to gain passage, in its place the [[Eagleson Bill]] was passed as a compromise, which determined that all doctoral education and research functions would be the role of Ohio State, and that Miami University and Ohio University would not offer instruction beyond the master's degree level – an agreement that would remain in place until the 1950s. In 1916, Ohio State was elected into membership in the [[Association of American Universities]].[[File:Columbus, Ohio LOC 22.tif|thumb|A view of The Oval green space in the early 20th century|left]]With the onset of the [[Great Depression]], Ohio State would face many of the challenges affecting universities throughout America as budget support was slashed, and students without the means of paying tuition returned home to support families. By the mid-1930s, however, enrollment had stabilized due in large part to the role of the [[Federal Emergency Relief Administration]] and later the [[National Youth Administration]].[http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/heq/44.3/bower.html ''A Favored Child of the State: Federal Student Aid at Ohio Colleges and Universities, 1934–1943'' Kevin P.

In 1934, the Ohio State Research Foundation was founded to bring in outside funding for faculty research projects. In 1938, a development office was opened to begin raising funds privately to offset reductions in state support. In 1952, Ohio State founded the [[interdisciplinary]] [[Mershon Center for International Security Studies]], which it still houses. In 1986, Ohio State ended its historic [[Open admissions|open enrollment]] policy and moved towards selective admissions.{{Cite web |last=Crawford |first=Adam |date=2003-11-17 |title=College applicant pools smarter, larger |url=https://www.thelantern.com/2003/11/college-applicant-pools-smarter-larger/ |access-date=2026-01-17 |website=[[The Lantern]] |language=en-US}}

The university jointed several other [[Grant (money)|grants]] in the late 1980s. It was designated a [[National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program|space-grant institution]] in 1988. It was designated a [[National Sea Grant College Program|sea-grant]] institution one year later, in 1989.

The center was founded to encompass all aspects of visual and performing arts with a focus on new commissions and artist residencies. Part of its design was to pay tribute to the armory that formerly had the same location. Its groundbreaking [[deconstructivism|deconstructivist]] architecture has resulted in it being lauded as one of the most important buildings of its generation. Its design has also been criticized as proving less than ideal for many of the art installations it has attempted to display. The centerpiece of the Wexner Center's permanent collection is [[Picasso]]'s ''[[Nude on a black armchair|Nude on a Black Armchair]]'', which was purchased by Wexner at auction for $45 million.

To the south of the Oval is another, somewhat smaller expanse of green space commonly referred to as the South Oval. At its eastern end, it is anchored by the Ohio Union. To the west are Hale Hall, the Kuhn Honors House, Browning Amphitheatre (a traditional stone [[Greek theatre]]) and [[Mirror Lake (Ohio)|Mirror Lake]]. [[Knowlton Hall]], dedicated in October 2004, is at the corner of West Woodruff Avenue and Tuttle Park Place, next to [[Ohio Stadium]].

Knowlton Hall along with the [[Max M. Fisher College of Business|Fisher College of Business]] and Hitchcock Hall form an academic nucleus in the northwestern corner of North campus. Knowlton Hall was designed by Atlanta-based [[Mack Scogin Merrill Elam]] along with [[Reed and Stem|WSA Studio]] from Columbus. The Hall is home to the KSA Café, the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, city and regional planning, and about 550 undergraduate and graduate students. Knowlton Hall stands out from the general reddish-brown brick of Ohio State's campus with distinctive white marble tiles that cover the building's exterior. This unique wall cladding was requested by [[Austin Eldon Knowlton|Austin E. Knowlton]], the namesake of and main patron to the creation of Knowlton Hall. Knowlton also requested that five white marble columns be erected on the site, each column representing one of the classical orders of [[architecture]].{{cite web|url=http://herrick.knowlton.ohio-state.edu/building/knowlton-hall-austin-e|title=Knowlton Hall, Austin E.|access-date=September 15, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928002321/http://herrick.knowlton.ohio-state.edu/building/knowlton-hall-austin-e|archive-date=September 28, 2013}}

===== Wow! Signal ===== {{Main|Wow! Signal}}

[[File:Wow_signal.jpg|thumb|The Wow! signal represented as "6EQUJ5". The original printout with Ehman's handwritten exclamation is preserved by [[Ohio History Connection]].]] The [[Wow! signal]] was a strong [[narrowband]] radio signal detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's [[Big Ear]] radio telescope in [[Delaware, Ohio]], then used to support the [[search for extraterrestrial intelligence]]. The signal appeared to come from the direction of the constellation [[Sagittarius (constellation)|Sagittarius]] and bore expected hallmarks of [[Extraterrestrial intelligence|extraterrestrial]] origin.{{Cite web |last=Kiger |first=Patrick J. |date=June 21, 2012 |title=What is the Wow! signal? |url=http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/chasing-ufos/articles/what-is-the-wow-signal/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150313204253/http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/chasing-ufos/articles/what-is-the-wow-signal/ |archive-date=March 13, 2015 |access-date=July 2, 2016 |website=National Geographic Channel}}

The "Wow! Signal" is considered by scientists to be one of the few compelling candidates for an intentional extraterrestrial radio transmission ever detected.{{Cite book |last=Hartzman |first=Marc |title=We Are Not Alone: The Extraordinary History of UFOs and Aliens Invading Our Hopes, Fears, and Fantasies |date=October 17, 2023 |publisher=Quirk Books |isbn=9781683693369 |pages=236}} Despite numerous follow-up searches and hypotheses, the signal has never recurred, and no explanation, terrestrial or otherwise, has been confirmed. While some researchers have suggested it could represent an extraterrestrial transmission, its single occurrence and lack of replication limit the strength of this interpretation. The Wow! signal has inspired [[Search for extraterrestrial intelligence|SETI]] targeted searches, scientific discussion about rare astrophysical phenomena, and references in popular culture.

===Activities and organizations=== [[File:Front view of the Old Ohio Union, now known as Hale Hall at Ohio State.jpg|thumb|[[Hale Hall]] was the original home of the Ohio Union.]]

The [[Ohio Union]] was the first student union built by an American public university. It is dedicated to the enrichment of the student experience, on and off the university campus. The first Ohio Union, on the south edge of the South Oval, was constructed in 1909 and was later renamed Enarson Hall. The second Ohio Union was completed in 1950 and was prominently along High Street, southeast of the Oval. It was a center of student life for more than 50 years, providing facilities for student activities, organizations and events, and serving as an important meeting place for campus and community interaction. The union also housed many student services and programs, along with dining and recreational facilities. The second Ohio Union was demolished in February 2007 to make way for the new Ohio Union, which was finished in 2010. During this time, student activities were relocated to Ohio Stadium and other academic buildings.{{cite web|title=History of the Ohio Union|url=http://ohiounion.osu.edu/about_the_union/history|access-date=December 18, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141203081517/http://ohiounion.osu.edu/about_the_union/history|archive-date=December 3, 2014|url-status=dead}}
