A thriving, hustling city of more than 60,000 beautiful modern homes sheltering a population estimated well in excess of 325,000, a city occupying some of the finest acreage in the middle West, and including industrial, commercial, civic, and ed- ucational interests which place it Well in the forefront of American cities-Toledo 100 years later. Such, briefly, is the outline of Toledo's first 100 years of official existence, growth and development. The development of the city in its infancy and its growth from both a commercial and a welfare stand- point, were due primarily to the necessity of supplying its ovvn needs. x? ENNI

RI. UF TOLEDO Hence, factories and industries began to spring up, on a small scale, to meet these needs. Saw mills, brick plants, iron foundries, grain elevators, flour mills and many other plants of similar nature appeared and Toledo grew in industry and im- portance, as well as in population. It was because of that rapid, early expansion that a great faith in the future of Toledo was built. The city's reputation extended over the country. The educational and cultural side of Toledo's development received just as close and careful attention, too, as did the other phases of its growth. In 1838, the new town of Toledo began to plan for its school system, seeking favorable locations and funds. By the close of 1847, Toledo had four public schools, each with an enrollment of about 100 pupils. In 1849, a Board of Education was named, a superintendent of schools selected and taxes levied to support the schools. From this meager beginning, there has developed an ex- tensive public school system including more than 50 grade schools, half a dozen high schools and the University of Toledo. The University of Toledo dates its beginning from October 21, 1872. Jessup W. Scott and his wife deeded, in trust, to the Toledo University of Arts and Trades, 160 acres of land in Adams township as the start of this institution. In 1873, the trustees of this property purchased a property at Adams and Tenth Streets, known as Raymond Hall. In 1874, another gift was received by the University from Mrs. Scott, carrying out her deceased husbands intention to endow the school. Early in 1884, the trustees offered to turn over the institution to the city and their offer was accepted. New departments were added to the University almost annually and expansion was steady. About 1909, the University was reorganized and, in 1914, occupied the old Illinois Street public school at Illinois and Eleventh Streets. In 1921, the amazing growth of the institution had necessitated erection of a new building on the original Scott donation of 160 acres. This was occupied in 1922. In a few years these quarters were outgrown and a drive was begun for a bond issue of 82,850,000 to build a new and larger structure. This was approved by popular vote in Novem- ber of 1929. The beautiful building in West Bancroft Street, which now houses the University activities, was completed and occupied late in 1931. Its enrollment now approximates 3,000 in all departments.
