Welcome Week - The Ohio State University
The Ohio State University GO BUCKS welcomeweek.osu.edu 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! The Ohio Union closed its doors for demolition and reconstruction in 2007. The New Ohio Union will be opening in the spring! This sign hung in the old Ohio Union when it opened in 1951. The first Ohio State football team posing in 1890 and the current team entering with Coach Jim Tressel. A much different looking Brutus used to pump up the crowds at Ohio State football games in 1965. The Incomparable Script Ohio is one of the most beloved traditions in college football history. It was first performed on October 10, 1936. The Thompson Library in 1913, and the newly renovated library now. The dedication of the building will be Thursday during Welcome Week. Though the buildings around it have changed and been updated, the aerial view of the Oval remains quite similar to the one pictured here in in 1940.
