Description: Dated 1935-1939, this photograph shows College Hall at Bluffton University, in Bluffton, Ohio. In 1899, Mennonites established Central Mennonite College, the predecessor of Bluffton University, but as the number of Mennonite students enrolled declined, the institution became known as Bluffton University. This photograph is one of the many visual materials collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers. The Federal Arts Program, a sector of the Works Progress Administration, included the Federal Writers’ Project, one of the primary goals of which was to complete the America Guide series, a series of guidebooks for each state which included state history, art, architecture, music, literature, and points of interest to the major cities and tours throughout the state. Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures. The Reorganization Act of 1939 consolidated the Works Progress Administration and other agencies into the Federal Works Administration, and the Federal Writers’ Project became the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio. The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions. The Ohio Guide Collection consists of 4,769 photographs collected for use in Ohio Guide and other publications of the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio from 1935-1939. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads: "Cinci., O., Sept 1937. McMicken Hall." McMicken Hall Built in 1895, McMicken Hall was the first structure erected on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. Up until 1910, there were only five buildings on campus, but as the university continued to grow, more buildings were needed. Three of those, McMicken Hall, Hanna Hall (1896) and Cunningham Hall housed the McMicken College of Liberal Arts. Designed by Hannaford & Sons of brick and stone and having three ivy-covered stories each, these modified Renaissance structures were joined with one another to form a single unit. The twin Hoffner lions that guard the entrance are copies of those at the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy, and were originally on Jacob Hoffner’s estate. When he died in 1894, he donated them to the City of Cincinnati, who in turn donated them to them to the university in 1904. The original McMicken Hall (along with Cunningham and Hanna Hall) was demolished in 1948 to make way for a new building. The new McMicken Hall was designed by Hake & Hake and cost $2 million to build. The stone lions Mick and Mack were preserved and returned to their posts at the entrance, and have been adopted by the College of Arts and Sciences Alumni Association at their mascot. University of Cincinnati In 1819, Cincinnati College and the Medical College of Ohio were founded in Cincinnati. Local benefactors such as Dr. Daniel Drake and William Lytle of the Lytle family suggested and funded these institutions. In 1870, the estate of Charles McMicken willed funds to the City of Cincinnati to establish the University of Cincinnati, absorbing Cincinnati College. While the Medical College of Ohio was loosely affiliated with UC from about 1896, it joined with a splinter medical school, Miami Medical College, to form the Ohio-Miami Medical Department of the University of Cincinnati in 1909. UC would again add another independent organization to its roster of colleges when it absorbed the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 1962. UC became a "municipally-sponsored, state-affiliated" institution in 1968. During this time, UC was the second-oldest and second-largest municipal university in the country. It became one of Ohio's state universities in 1977. View on Ohio Memory.
