What is it like to grow up, live, work, shop and hang out next to one of the nation's largest university campuses? According to firsthand accounts of Ohio State neighbors, life in the University District is entertaining, fascinating and sometimes maddening. Stories range from picnics in the University Woods and chats from porch swings to riots filled with tear gas and zoning wars mired in acrimony. The century of stories in this book reflects the shifting demographics of the district and the struggle against urban decay. Take a stroll with editor Emily Foster as she celebrates the historic homes, landmarks, architecture and collegiate culture that belong to this neighborhood like no other.

Abstract: The Ohio State University, a land-grant institution, is located in Columbus, the fifteenth largest city in the nation. Each other's oldest neighbor, the university and the adjacent University District neighborhoods have influenced one another and come into conflict throughout the twentieth century. This project explores the twentieth century interactions between the Ohio State University and the University District neighborhoods from a demographic, geographic, architectural, and historical perspective. It uses the experiences of four front-facing streets in the University District from 1920 to the present to ask questions about larger issues of town-gown relations, diversity, conflict, and change over time. Methods include quantitative analysis of demographic trends from Census and city directory data, tracking of architectural changes from maps and photographs, oral history interviews, and examination of OSU and University District archived materials. The project's findings focus upon the scope of Ohio State's impact upon the neighborhoods, the changes on the neighborhood streets, and the connections, perceptions, and interactions between OSU and the UD. As present day issues such as student housing and neighborhood development provoke debate, both neighborhood and university actors will benefit from a better understanding of past and present relationships between the university and the community.

The Ohio State University's surrounding neighborhoods predate the establishment of the nation's largest university. What emerged after the university's founding from NECKO to Glen Echo was a diverse community of people, professions, housing styles, educational experiments, and activism. Despite intense development pressures after World War II and inevitable change to a densely populated area, 80 percent of the historic housing stock remains. The university area neighborhoods have more districts on the National Register of Historic Places and city-protected historic districts than any other area in Columbus. In addition to longtime residents, the University District has been the collegiate incubator of more famous people than any other neighborhood in Ohio--humorist James Thurber, bicycle daredevil Conn Baker, writer Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Dr. Charles Pavey, vaudevillian Elsie Janis, and athlete Jesse Owens, to name a few.

At 5:30 p.m. on May 6, 1970, an embattled Ohio State University President Novice G. Fawcett took the unprecedented step of closing down the university. Despite the presence of more than 1,500 armed highway patrol officers, Ohio National Guardsmen, deputy sheriffs, and Columbus city police, university and state officials feared they could not maintain order in the face of growing student protests. Students, faculty, and staff were ordered to leave; administrative offices, classrooms, and laboratories were closed. The campus was sealed off. Never in the first one hundred years of the university's existence had such a drastic step been necessary. Just a year earlier the campus seemed immune to such disruptions. President Nixon considered it safe enough to plan an address at commencement. Yet a year later the campus erupted into a spasm of violent protest exceeding even that of traditional hot spots like Berkeley and Wisconsin. How could conditions have changed so dramatically in just a few short months? Using contemporary news stories, long overlooked archival materials, and first-person interviews, The Ohio State University in the Sixties explores how these tensions built up over years, why they converged when they did and how they forever changed the university.
