			 scientific and technological resource for its area.
(2)
									The university's
			 primary concern is the student. It endeavors to provide the academic
			 atmosphere, the human association and the discipline vital to the student's
			 sound intellectual growth and character development. The various programs of
			 curricular and extracurricular activities are designed to stimulate curiosity,
			 broaden perspective, enrich awareness, deepen understanding, establish
			 disciplined habits of thought, provide preparation for a vocation and help in
			 realizing the potential of students as individuals and as responsible and
			 informed members of society.
(3)
									The university
			 will continue to develop as an active institution of learning whose scholars
			 extend the boundaries of knowledge and whose practitioners of the arts and
			 professions help it to shape the culture of the area it serves. The university
			 supports the research and other activities of its faculty and students, and
			 recognizes not only the intrinsic value of such creativity but also its
			 beneficial effect on teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate
			 levels.
(4)
									The university, like other large American state
			 universities, combines service with teaching and research and makes available
			 its rich variety of cultural, educational, technical and other resources to its
			 area, to the state of Ohio, to the nation and to the international
			 community.
