After a two week hiatus, we have returned to this fabulous forum. During normal times, many people in Athens would have celebrated after commencement at their Ohio University Housing Rental and other fine local establishments. But this year is not normal. Most students did not return from spring break. And for classroom hours after that, students did not physically go to any classes like they had all year. Every spring fest canceled, reluctantly, when the Mayor of Athens, the President of Ohio University, and the local Heath Commissioner issued a joint statement. There was no graduation ceremony that typically occurs. Things are different and have been since March. Ohio University still struggles, like everyone else, with figuring out how to move forward in a ‘normal’ fashion. Good luck with that. Yes, we all need to reconfigure ourselves a little bit. At least for now. Follow along, if you want.
The Ohio University Housing Rental
Did you notice that? It’s subtle; but also conveys a powerful undertone. ‘The’ Ohio University Housing Rental with emphasis on the word ‘the’. Of course you might think that looks like a jab at Ohio State, our younger sibling to the North. Well, you’re right! It’s a little known theory widely accepted by many scholars that Ohio University used the definite article ‘the’ first. Check your history books and report back. We can wait. Did you catch that? It’s very easy to figure out. Ohio University was founded in 1804. Ohio State was in 1870. It’s simple math. OU was here 64 years before OSU. That means they had lots of time to use it first. And they did. We don’t have time to go into all the examples, but rest assured they exist. Check the archives for Ohio University and we bet you will see.
