SPEAKING OF PICTURES . . . {continued) . . . OHIO UNIVERSITY. OLDEST UNIVERSITY WEST OF THE ALLEGHENIES, HELPS TO CELEBRATE THE SESQU I -CENTENNIAL OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORY. The development of the Northwest Terri- tory has been paralleled by the growth of Ohio University, the first institution of higher education in the Territory. On every hand can be seen landmarks which depict an added chapter in the history of its de- velopment. The tower of 121 -year old Cutler Hall, the oldest college building in the Northwest Territory, has won a warm spot in the heart of every student in the history of Ohio University. Through the portals of the gateway presented by the Class of 1912 have passed countless stu- dents to and from class. The students passing Cutler Hall and Fine Arts Auditor- ium on their way from Ellis Hall to the Edwin Watts Chubb Library have before their eyes a panorama of the 150 years of progress at Ohio University.
