TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF OHIO UNIVERSITY
Gentlemen:
I have the honor to submit the following report of the
activities of Ohio University since our last meeting June 7, 1926.
The attendance at the University this year has been the
largest in the history of the University. The resident students have
numbered 3,103. Of this number 2,173 were enrolled in degree courses;
697 in two-year courses; 56 already held degrees; and 177 were registered
as special students. The non-resident students have numbered 2, 182, of
which number 1,593 were enrolled in group extension courses during the
first and second semesters; and 589 were enrolled in correspondence
study courses. Eighty-six of the eighty-eight counties in Ohio were
represented; twenty-four states; and four foreign countries.
The spirit of the University has been fine and wholesome.
The relationship among the students and the various organizations of the
student body are very cordial and conductive to good fellowship; and the
relationship between the student body and the faculty has been very
delightful. Within the faculty there has been a fine spirit of cooperation and willingness to serve.
We have had reasonable success in all intercollegiate
activities.
One of the most outstanding achievements during the academic
year was accomplished when official recognition was given to the women
graduates of Ohio University granting them the privilege of full membership in the American Association of University Women. This action was
accorded Ohio University at the Cenvention of the Association held in
Washington, D.C. on April 1 and 2, 1927.
Since our meeting last June, death has invaded the ranks
of the Board of Trustees, and three valuable members have been lost,
as follows;
On December 7, 1926, C.C. Davidson, of Alliance, died;
On December 8, 1926, Timothy S. Hogan, of Columbus; and on December
22,1926, Philip M. Cullinan, of New Lexington. Mr Davidson was appointed
to our Board of Trustees in 1891; Mr. Hogan was appointed in 1918; and
Mr. Cillinan in 1912. Doubtless the Board will wish to have a minute
prepared in recognition of the services of these men.
The terms of office of two members of the Board of Trustees
have expired, and their successors have been named. Those whose terms
have expired are: Fred W. Bush, Athens; and Charles W. Cookson,Urbana.
Mr. Bush was reappointed; and Mr. Cookson was succeeded
by Dr. Charles Elmer Holzer, Gallipolis.
