McMickcn College of Liheral Arts Historical Statement m? HARLES McMicken, at the time of 312$ ; his death in 1858, bequeathed to 'h the city of Cincinnati almost the whole of his estate, valued at $1,000,000, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining tttwo colleges for the educa- tion of white boys and girls. Nearly half of this property was in Louisiana, and was lost by a decision of the Supreme Court, and for ten years the revenue derived from that part of the estate lying in Cincinnati and its vicinity was applied to its improvement. It was not until 1869, then, that the Trustees provided for a School of Design. In 1870 the General Assembly of Ohio, in order to unite the various educational trusts in Cincinnati, passed an act 7to aid and pro- mote education? and through this, almost a year later, the University of Cincinnati was established. Students were first received in 1873, and in 1874 the Academic Department, now the McMicken College of Liberal Arts, was organized. page twcnty-tb rec
