The Ohio State University

welcomeweek.osu.edu

GO BUCKS

This sign hung in the old Ohio Union when it opened in 1951.

A much different lookingBrutus used to pump up the crowds at Ohio Statefootball games in 1965.

The first Ohio State football team posing in1890 and the current team entering with Coach Jim Tressel.

The Incomparable Script Ohio is one of the most beloved traditions in college football history. It was first performed onOctober 10, 1936.

Though the buildingsaround it have changedand been updated, the aerial view of the Ovalremains quite similar tothe one pictured here in in 1940.

The Ohio Union closed its doors for demolitionand reconstruction in 2007. The New Ohio Union will be opening in the spring!

The Thompson Library in 1913, and the newly renovated library now. The dedication of the building will be Thursday during Welcome Week.

The Ohio State University is rich with traditions, some of which date all the way back 1870 when the University was founded. Those traditions include Buckeye pride and a sense of community that can only be understood by fellow Ohio State students.

With those traditions also comes the innovation of tomorrow. During this academic year, Ohio State will be welcoming students into the newly updated Thompson Library as well as the new Ohio Union!

Enjoy this look back into the past, as well as a glance into the future as Tradition Welcomes Tomorrow!

In what year was the Ohio State University established? What were our original school colors before they were scarlet and gray? What was the score of the Michigan game last year? If you can answer questions like these (and even if you can’t), the Buckeye Prize Brigade might make your day! Be on the lookout for a group of rowdy Buckeyes bringing fun prizes as you move in. Brought to you by the Ohio Union.
