That man was Benjamin VVaddle. He sowed his idea in the hearts of a few kindred spirits and these proved to be fruitful soil. The idea grew v and the General Assembly of the State was asked to charter Muskingum K, College. This was done March 18, 1837, and the enterprise was launched. l i It was a day of small things as to campus--only about half an acre-, ,lf as to buildings and equipment, and, so far as numbers go, as to faculty and l T 3 student body.
