I'm curious about the transition from municipal university to state-affiliated university. Does anyone have any supporting info or references?

Also--the article mentions that UC was at that time the second oldest and second largest municipal university. Was the first oldest and first biggest the school downriver: University of Louisville?

The College of Charleston claims to be the oldest municipal college in the U.S. (est 1770, chart. 1785). The medical school which became U of L has operated continously since 1837, but I'm not sure when we became officially municipally funded. A google search usually brings up the "Louisville Municipal College for Negros", which was purchased by U of L; so I may have email someone to find out Brando03 16:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Brando03[reply]

Huggins NPOV?

The paragraph on Huggins feels a little like it was written by someone bitter about him getting fired. It could probably use a rewrite.

No rewrite needed. It just states facts. I detect no point of view coming through to an alarming enough extent.

I agree the information seems very accurate and does not seems biased. -- Wikitravel Sapphire 23:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This paragraph appears neutral to me, also. I don't sense any bitterness in the paragraph.

As a student at the University of Cincinnati, I assure you this is the message sent to students (from the faculty) as to why Huggins was asked to leave. Of course, many students accuse the current president, Nancy Zimpher, of not looking out for the best interest of the UC basketball team.

Logo vs. Seal

I added the UC logo the page, because that is how the university identifies itself in all promotional material. The seal is used only in very limited applications, people are more likely to recognize the logo than the seal, and the reasoning the other editor had for changing the logo to the seal ("like every other university on Wikipedia") isn't even true. The Ohio State University (one of the largest universities in the US, and therefore probably one of the most-edited on Wikipedia) has their logo showing, not the seal. noktulo 18:23, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UC Engineering -- Herman Schneider and Co-op education

I was surprised to see no mention of one of the most important contributions of UC's College of Engineering. Dean Herman Schneider created the first cooperative education (co-op) program in the United States in 1906. This program has been the model for all co-op programs since then.

The biography of Charles William Dabney is available in the Archives and Rare Books library. It is apparently unpubished and what is there is a xeroxed copy. THis gives the story of Schneider who came to Dabney shortly after he was appointed President of the University. Schneider wanted to earn an advanced degree so that he could speak with more authority. Dabney listened to what he wanted to do, decided that he didn't need an advanced degree, but needed to be Dean. He encouraged Schneider to continue to plan, but to wait and when there was opportunity, he would simply advance this assistant professor to Dean and this is what happened. Schneider later became a reluctant university president after Frederick Hicks retired, and served until the apppointment of the next president.
