This first Vision OHIO convocation marks a milestone in our University's history. Today, we honor the achievements of students and faculty members. We also look to the future of Ohio University. Nearly 20 years ago, the Third Century of Ohio University was the focus of a colloquium led by President Emeritus Charles Ping. The report from that 1987 colloquium stated that, "Those who would shape the Third Century of Ohio University hold a trust from the past for the future...Born of a revolutionary understanding of government and the role of education in society...the University owes its life to the conviction that education is '...necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind.' " Those words were a prophecy of our future – our Third Century.
