The University Back in the era of the Model A and the Model T, William S. Kent donated 50 acres of his northeastern Ohio land to the state for a normal school. Classwork started on the campus three years later, in two buildings provided by the state. The enrollment was 291. The 50 acres is now 250, and the nor- mal school has become Kent State Univer- sity. The enrollment tops the 5000 mark. It has been 44 years of progress at KSU. The comparative upstart among universi- ties has taken two world wars, a depression and a UN police action in her stride. Af- ter pulling out of the slump of the first World War, growing wildly during the 20 ' s, then slumping again with the depres- sion. KSU ' s upward climb hit another snag in 1941. Surviving the dearth of students during the duration, the University used its campus to train men for the armed forces. In 1945, Congress passed the G.I. Bill. Within a few months, the enrollment sky- rocketed to 4500. KSU was one of hun- dreds of schools struggling against faculty shortages, non-existent classrooms, and exhausted supplies. Proving its resource- fulness, KSU absorbed the shock and ad- justed to it. Since the war, many of the dreams of expansion, the hopes, aspirations, and de- sires have been fulfilled. The Union, the Arts Building, the Men ' s Physical Educa- tion Building and Stopher Hall have been added to the campus. Located at the focus of Ohio ' s most densely populated region, the KSU campus is within 50 miles of four million people. It .has grown rapidly, and seems destined to continue that growth, for the dreams and hopes that have made it the second largest state university in Ohio have not diminish- ed. ' ■1 ' .-X s
