Throughout history, The Ohio State University has demonstrated leadership during difficult times – turning from periods of trouble to positions of strength. Join us as we examine how Ohio State came together to support not just our Buckeye family but the communities in which we live and serve during the university’s founding, World War I, the 1918 flu pandemic, the Great Depression, World War II and 9/11.
“To college graduates who make use of their education to help them solve these problems, the instability of our present social order presents an invitation rather than a treat, for what is an education worth which does not help us to meet an emergency?"
Commencement address given by Matthew Brown Hammond, Professor of Economics, to the Summer 1933 graduating class of The Ohio State University, University Hall Chapel, Columbus, Ohio, September 1, 1933. Title: “The Individual in an Unstable World”
