PROFILE OF THE UNIVERSITY
Ohio University’s origins can be traced to an ordinance of Congress on July 13, 1787,
“for the government of the territory of the United States northwest of the river Ohio.”
The ordinance proclaimed: “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good
government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall
forever be encouraged.” This principle was applied to the Ohio Company’s land purchase
agreement, which provided for lands to be set aside for a university. Chartered first by the
Ohio Company in 1799, and then by the State of Ohio on February 18, 1804, Ohio University
became Ohio’s first university and the first in the Old Northwest Territory.
From a modest beginning early in the 19th century, the university has steadily grown in
numbers and programs. Today the Athens campus enrolls over 20,000 students with another
15,000 on regional campuses or in other off-campus programs. Students come from all 50
states and more than 100 countries.
Ohio University is a state-assisted institution. Less than half of its instructional and general
budget comes from state funds. State subsidy and student fees are supplemented by income
from private support and endowments.
