fflfistory of the Knivcrsity ' of Cincinnati HARLES MCMICKEN, at the time of his death in , 1858, bequeathed to the city of Cincinnati almost the whole of his estate, valued at 51,000,000, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining two colleges for the education of white boys and girls. In 1870 the General Assembly of Ohio, in order to unite the various educational trusts in Cincinnati, passed an act to aid and promote education. It was through this, almost a year later, that the University of Cincinnati was founded. Students were nrst received in 1873, and in 1874 the Academic Department, now the NlcMicken College of Liberal Arts, was organized. At length the city undertook to support the University in part by public taxation, and in the course of time additional funds for the maintenance of the institution were provided by individual citizens.
