History [edit]

Early history [edit]

Front of Merrill Hall, completed in 1913 equally the outset building on campus.

Kent Land University was established in 1910 equally an institution for training public schoolhouse teachers. It was part of the Lowry Bill, which also created a sister school in Bowling Green, Ohio – now known as Bowling Green State University. It was initially known under the working proper name of the Ohio Land Normal College At Kent,[9] but was named Kent State Normal School in 1911 in accolade of William S. Kent (son of Kent, Ohio, namesake Marvin Kent), who donated the 53 acres (21 ha) used for the original campus. The first president was John Edward McGilvrey, who served from 1912 to 1926.[10] McGilvrey had an ambitious vision for the schoolhouse as a large academy, instructing architect George F. Hammond, who designed the original campus buildings, to produce a master plan.[xi] Classes began in 1912 before any buildings had been completed at the campus in Kent. These classes were held at extension centers in 25 cities effectually the region. By May 1913, classes were being held on the campus in Kent with the opening of Merrill Hall.[12] The schoolhouse graduated 34 students in its get-go commencement on July 29, 1914. In 1915, the school was renamed Kent State Normal College [13] due to the add-on of four-yr degrees. By then additional buildings had been added or were nether construction. Kent State's enrollment growth was peculiarly notable during its summer terms. In 1924, the school'due south registration for summertime classes was the largest of whatever instructor-grooming schoolhouse in the United states of america.[12] In 1929, the land of Ohio inverse the name to Kent State College as information technology allowed the school to constitute a higher of arts and sciences.[14]

McGilvrey's vision for Kent was not shared by many others outside the school, peculiarly at the state level and at other state schools. His efforts to have the state funding formula changed created opposition, particularly from Ohio State University and its president William Oxley Thompson. This resulted in a 1923 "credit war" where Ohio State refused Kent transfer credits and spread to several other schools taking similar action. It was this development – along with several other factors – which led to the firing of McGilvrey in Jan 1926.[12] McGilvrey was succeeded outset by David Allen Anderson (1926–1928) and James Ozro Engleman from 1928 to 1938, though he connected to be involved with the school for several years as president emeritus and as head of alumni relations from 1934 to 1945.[x] He was present in Columbus on May 17, 1935, when Kent native Governor Martin L. Davey signed a bill that allowed Kent State and Bowling Dark-green to add schools of business administration and graduate programs, giving them each university status.[12]

1940s to 1960s [edit]

From 1944 to 1963, the Academy was led by President George Bowman. During his tenure, the student senate, faculty senate and graduate council were organized. Although information technology had served Stark Canton from the 1920s, in 1946, the Academy's first regional campus, the Stark Campus, was established in County, Ohio. In the fall of 1947, Bowman appointed Oscar Due west. Ritchie as a full-time faculty member. Ritchie's date to the faculty fabricated him the first African American to serve on the faculty at Kent Land and also made him the first African American professor to serve on the faculty of any state university in Ohio. In 1977, the former Educatee Union, which had been built in 1949, was rededicated equally Oscar Ritchie Hall in his honour.[15] Recently renovated, Oscar Ritchie Hall currently houses the department of Pan-African Studies the Centre of Pan-African Civilisation, the Henry Dumas Library, the Plant for African American Affairs, the Garrett Morgan Computer Lab and the African Customs Theatre.[16]

The 1950s and 1960s saw continued growth in both enrollment and in the physical size of the campus. Several new dorms and academic buildings were built during this time, including the establishment of boosted regional campuses in Warren (1954), Ashtabula (1957), New Philadelphia (1962), Salem (1962), Burton (1964), and East Liverpool, Ohio (1965).[17] In 1961, grounds superintendent Larry Wooddell and Biff Staples of the Davey Tree Skillful Company released ten cages of black squirrels obtained from Victoria Park in London, Ontario, Canada, onto the Kent State campus. By 1964 their estimated population was around 150 and today they have spread in and around Kent and have become unofficial mascots of both the metropolis and university. Since 1981, the annual Blackness Squirrel Festival is held every autumn on campus.[eighteen] [nineteen]

In 1965, chemistry professor Glenn H. Brown established the Liquid Crystal Establish,[20] a world leader in the research and development the multibillion-dollar liquid crystal manufacture.[21] James Fergason invented and patented the basic TN LCD in 1969[22] [23] and x liquid crystal companies have been spun off from the Institute.[24]

In 1967, Kent State became the first university to run an independent, educatee-operated Campus Omnibus Service. It was unique in that it provided jobs for students, receiving funding from student fees rather than bus fares. Campus Bus Service was the largest such functioning in the country until information technology merged with the Portage Surface area Regional Transportation Say-so in 2004.[25] 1969 saw the opening of a new Memorial Stadium on the far eastern border of campus and the closure and dismantling of the old Memorial Stadium.

The Baby-sit had been called into Kent after several protests in and around campus had become trigger-happy, including a anarchism in downtown Kent and the burning of the ROTC building. The main cause of the protests was the Us' invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam State of war.[26] The shootings caused an immediate closure of the campus with students and faculty given just sixty minutes to pack belongings. Around the country, many college campuses canceled classes or closed for fear of similar violent protests.[27] In Kent, schools were airtight and the National Guard restricted entry into the city limits, patrolling the area until May eight. With the campus closed, faculty members came up with a variety of solutions—including holding classes in their homes, at public buildings and places, via telephone, or through the postal service—to allow their students to complete the term, which was simply a few weeks away at the time.[28]

In 1971, the University established the Center for Peaceful Change, now known every bit the Middle for Applied Conflict Management, as a "living memorial" to the students who had died. Information technology offers degree programs in Peace and Conflict Studies[29] and Conflict Resolution and is one of the primeval such programs in the United States.

In response to, and protest of, the Kent Land shootings, Neil Young wrote the song "Ohio" which was performed by the folk rock group Crosby, Stills, Nash & Immature.

It was the world's first medical consortium.[32] Today information technology includes a higher of pharmacy and Cleveland Country University as an boosted consortium fellow member.[33]

Kent Land was once more in the national spotlight in 1977 when construction was set to begin on the Memorial Gym Addendum, side by side to the area where the Kent State shootings had occurred in 1970. Protesters organized a tent city in May, which lasted into July. Several attempts were made to block structure even subsequently the end of the tent metropolis, including an appeal to the Us Congress and the Department of the Interior to have the surface area declared a National Historic Landmark, which ended upwardly being unsuccessful. Additional rallies were held that year, including ane attended by Joan Baez on August 20. After several boosted unsuccessful legal challenges, construction finally began on September 19 and was finished in 1979.[34]
