This Institution has been and is now known as "The Otterbein University of Ohio." It is so called from PHILIP WILLIAM OTTERBEIN, the founder of the church under whose auspices the University was first established, and by which it is now controlled.

CHARTER.

It was chartered in 1849 by the Legislature of Ohio with University privileges. The names of the first Trustees were LEWIS DAVIS, JONATHAN DRESBACK and WILLIAM HANBY, of the Scioto Annual Conference of the church of the United Brethren in Christ, and JACOB BARGER, PETER FLACK and P. HURLBUT, of the Sandusky Conference of the same church. These and their successors are created a body politic with full powers to sue and be sued: to acquire, hold and convey property: to have and to use a seal: to confer on all those whom they may deem worthy all such honors and degrees as are usually conferred by colleges; and to make and alter from time to time all such by-laws as shall be deemed necessary for the government of said instition. The charter differs so little from other similar papers that it need not be inserted here.

LOCATION.

The location is fixed in the charter at Westerville, Ohio. This is a town of about 1200 population. It is twelve miles from Columbus, the Capitol of the State, and on the direct line of CLEVELAND, MT. VERNON & COLUMBUS RAILROAD. It is three miles east of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & Indianapolis Railroad. It is the largest town in the county except the Capitol. It is centrally located; near enough to a city to have most of its advantages and sufficiently distant to be preserved from its evils. An academy was in operation here called the "Blendon Young Men's Seminary" which was offered for sale at a very low price and this became one among other inducements to the church of "The United Brethren in Christ" to establish a college at this point.

The college campus comprises about eight acres. The Ladies Boarding Hall with its play-ground occupies about one acre. The lands that were in use by the manual labor department have all been disposed of since that plan was abandoned.

BUILDINGS.

When the site was first purchased there were two buildings already erected. One was a frame building two stories in height and 26 x 44 feet. This was used for cabinet, chapel, recitation rooms, etc. The other was an unfinished brick building and 28 x 66 feet, three stories in height and used as a boarding hall for young ladies. These afforded sufficient accommodation in the beginning. Soon there was need of a building for young men and in 1854 a hall was built by a friend of the institution MR. JACOB SAUM, of the Miami Valley, and from him it was named SAUM HALL. It was three stories in height and designed as a dormitory for young men. It was of rectangular form with no pretensions to architectural beauty. As the University grew and prospered it was soon found necessary to erect another building which could afford us a larger chapel and more commodious
