Establishment
By the spring of 1788, Rufus Putnam had gathered fifty laborers, surveyors, and boat builders and proceeded to the Muskingum River, and he surveyed and laid out a town to provide a home for the future university. In 1797, settlers from Marietta traveled downstream on the Ohio River and up the Hocking River to establish a location for the school, founding Athens due to its location directly between the original capital of Chillicothe and Marietta. "On January 8, 1802, the legislature of the No...

1960s

The Vietnam War was extremely unpopular to Ohio University students and Athens residents alike, and in its wake, saw the emergence of some of America's foremost examples of student protest and civil unrest during the era. On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard was ordered to open fire on students demonstrating against the war at Kent State University, killing 4 and wounding 9. At the same time, there were sit-ins and anti-war riots at Ohio Universit...
1980s & 1990s
Since the 1980s, many new programs, faculty, undergraduates, and postgraduates contributed to the expanded global imprint of Ohio. Defining trends of this period include process standardization, digital advents, and largescale research that would give rise to Ohio becoming a distinctive national university, and not only an undergraduate-focused or regional entity similar to newer universities in state. By 1980, eighteen women's studies courses were being offered by twelve departments. Also in...
