Bowling Green State college welcomes to the campus today many high school students who are here to help celebrate "High School Day" and it affords the school pleasure indeed to entertain them and to give them an opportunity to inspect the campus and it many fine buildings. Established in 1910 and started in 1914, the college is operated by the State of Ohio to give the people of the northwestern Ohio equal educational opportunities with those of other parts of the country. For that reason no tuition is charged and institutional fees consist only of nominal registration and laboratory assessments. Northwestern Ohio can look upon the local campus with pride. No other physical plant is any better. The campus of 105 acres abounds with beautiful, well constructed and equipped, modern school buildings. There are nine buildings on the campus as follows: Administration, Practical Arts, Science, Physical Education, Library, Training School, Williams Hall (dorm), Shatzel Hall (dorm) and the Heating plant. The outlay is estimated at over $2,225,000. The institution is organized into two coordinate units, a College of Liberal Arts and a College of Education. Since it's beginning in 1914, Bowling Green State college has been an institution of opportunity for students who have been unable to go to colleges or universities where expenses are high. It is estimated that the average expenditure of the Bowling Green student need not be more than $250 per year. Even this low cost can be materially reduced by students preparing their own meals and there are plenty of room available with kitchen privileges for those who desire to do so. Courses are offered in special subjects such as Music, Coaching, Home Economics, Commercial education, and the regular collegiate curriculum. Careful selection of courses in the Liberal Arts college gives students an opportunity for pre-medics, pre-law, pre-engineering, and pre-journalism. A college catalogue can be secured at the Registrar's Office or will be mailed to those who write to him asking for a copy.
