This section contains personal reminiscences about OSU’s student demonstrations. These were compiled beginning in May 2010, through e-mail messages, an online survey and oral history interviews about the subject. 

In addition to these recollections, please read contemporary accounts of the demonstrations by Prof. Salvator Marco and Prof. Charles Wheeler.  Still other reminiscences can be found in various oral history interviews that The Ohio State University Archives has conducted over the years with various administrators, faculty and staff members. While these histories focus mainly on a particular individual’s career at OSU, they all include perspectives on the demonstrations in 1970.

If you would like to contribute your experience during the student demonstrations please fill out this survey: 1970 Student Demonstrations Survey
