From The Lantern video series: Who knew? dedicated to investigating the aspects of Ohio State that are typically overlooked and forgotten. Episode two takes us back to the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act of 1862 into action, and with it, Ohio State into existence. This episode explores the origins of Ohio State’s land-grant mission, as well as the "land grab" nature of the funds used to establish The Ohio State University.
