Then and now

Ohio State is putting out the welcome mat this week.

As new students arrive on campus for Welcome Week, their experiences will be different from many alumni; however, they will learn the same traditions and walk the same halls as hundreds of thousands before them. Explore similar scenes, some separated by more than 100 years, and see how Ohio State has evolved throughout the years.
