Attending O. S. u.
OFFICIALS OF OHIO STATE ESTI-
MATE THAT TOTAL OF 500
MADISON co. PERSONS
HAVE ATTENDED THAT
COLLEGE

Madison county has az students at
Ohio State university at the present
time, according to Miss Edith ID.
Cockins, registrar. Every county in
the state is represented in the stu
dent body of 10000.
1t is estimated that 500 young
people from this county have attend
ed the university since it opened its
doors in 1878. The county has been
represented in practically all of the
university's 10 colleges which give
instruction in many fields.
In addition to the training given
these students, the university has
aided the local community in many
other ways. It's services in educa-
tional research have been used by
every school district in the state.
Discoveries made in the college of
agriculture and brought to the at
tention of farmers throughout Ohio
by the extension service have been
worth thousands Of dollars TO agrl-
culture, university officials say. Ex-
periments and discoveries in the
campus laboratories have been worth
millions of dollars to industries Of
the state, it is estimated.
Although its enrolment has re-
manned about the same during the
depression, the university's budget re-
quest for l933-34 is 27 per cent lower
than that for 1922, according to
President G. w. Rightmire. This re
quest, he adds, has been fixed at the
lowest sum consistent with a continu-
alton Of the university's basic serv-
Ice to students and to the state.
