History

• The university was established in 1870 as a land-grant institution named Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College, created under the Morrill Act with a mandate to teach agriculture and the mechanical arts.该校于 1870 年依《莫里尔法案》以赠地学院形式创办，初名俄亥俄农工学院，办学使命是教授农业与机械技艺。

• The proposal for a manufacturing and agriculture university in central Ohio met hostility from the state's agricultural interests in the 1870s and faced competition for resources from Ohio University and Miami University.在俄亥俄中部设立工农业大学的提议在 1870 年代遭到该州农业利益集团的反对，并与俄亥俄大学、迈阿密大学争夺办学资源。

• The college opened its doors to 24 students on 17 September 1873, and its first class of six men graduated in 1878, followed by the first woman a year later.学院于 1873 年 9 月 17 日开学，首批招收 24 名学生，1878 年第一届六名男生毕业，次年首位女生毕业。

• Also in 1878 the Ohio legislature recognised an expanded scope for the institution and changed its name to the Ohio State University, although teaching remained concentrated at first on agriculture and mechanics.同样在 1878 年，俄亥俄州议会承认该校范围扩大，将其更名为俄亥俄州立大学，但教学起初仍集中于农业与机械。

• In 1912 the university joined the Big Ten Conference, and in 1916 it became the first institution in Ohio admitted to the Association of American Universities, where it remains the state's only public member among the organisation's sixty universities.该校 1912 年加入十大联盟，1916 年成为俄亥俄州首个进入美国大学协会的高校，至今仍是该协会 60 所成员中俄亥俄州唯一的公立大学。

• In 1906 president William Oxley Thompson and the university's supporters in the legislature put forward the Lybarger Bill, which aimed to shift virtually all higher education support to Ohio State while funding only the normal school functions of the state's other public universities.1906 年，校长威廉·奥克斯利·汤普森与州议会中的支持者提出《莱巴格法案》，意图把几乎全部高教经费转向俄亥俄州立大学，只为该州其他公立大学保留师范教育职能。

• The Lybarger Bill failed narrowly, but the compromise Eagleson Bill that replaced it gave all doctoral education and research to Ohio State and barred Miami University and Ohio University from teaching beyond the master's degree, an agreement that lasted until the 1950s.《莱巴格法案》以微弱差距未获通过，取而代之的妥协性《伊格尔森法案》把所有博士教育与研究划归俄亥俄州立大学，并禁止迈阿密大学与俄亥俄大学开设硕士以上课程，这一安排延续到 1950 年代。

• During the Great Depression budget support was slashed and students without the means to pay tuition returned home, but by the mid-1930s enrolment had stabilised, largely through the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and later the National Youth Administration.大萧条期间办学经费被大幅削减，无力支付学费的学生返乡，但到 1930 年代中期在校生趋于稳定，这主要得益于联邦紧急救济署以及此后的国家青年署。

• By the end of the 1930s enrolment had still grown to more than 17,500, and in 1934 the Ohio State Research Foundation was founded to attract outside funding for faculty research projects.到 1930 年代末在校生仍增至 17,500 人以上，1934 年又成立俄亥俄州立大学研究基金会，为教师科研项目引入外部经费。

• A development office opened in 1938 to raise funds privately and offset reductions in state support, and in 1952 the university founded the interdisciplinary Mershon Center for International Security Studies, which it still houses.1938 年设立发展办公室以私人募款弥补州拨款下降，1952 年又创办跨学科的默尚国际安全研究中心，该中心至今仍设在校内。

• Ohio State ended its historic open enrolment policy in 1986 and moved towards selective admissions, a shift that redefined the character of its undergraduate intake.1986 年该校终止历史上实行的开放入学政策、转向择优录取，这一转变重塑了其本科生生源结构。

• The university was designated a space-grant institution in 1988 and a sea-grant institution in 1989, joining a small group of American universities holding all three major grant designations.该校 1988 年获赠空大学资格，1989 年再获赠海大学资格，成为同时拥有三大赠款资格这一小圈子中的一员。
