_Education._--Cincinnati is an important educational centre. The
University of Cincinnati, originally endowed by Charles M'Micken (d.
1858) and opened in 1873, occupies a number of handsome buildings
erected since 1895 on a campus of 43 acres in Burnet Woods Park, has an
astronomical observatory on the highest point of Mt. Lookout, and is the
only strictly municipal university in the United States. The institution
embraces a college of liberal arts, a college of engineering, a college
of law (united in 1897 with the law school of Cincinnati College, then
the only surviving department of that college, which was founded as
Lancaster Seminary in 1815 and was chartered as Cincinnati College in
1819), a college of medicine (from 1819 to 1896 the Medical College of
Ohio; the college occupies the site of the old M'Micken homestead), a
college for teachers, a graduate school, and a technical school (founded
in 1886 and transferred to the university in 1901); while closely
affiliated with it are the Clinical and Pathological School of
Cincinnati and the Ohio College of Dentistry. With the exception of
small fees charged for incidental expenses, the university is free to
all students who are residents of the city; others pay $75 a year for
tuition. It is maintained in part by the city, through public taxation,
and in part by the income from endowment funds given by Charles
M'Micken, Matthew Thoms, David Sinton and others. The government of the
university is entrusted mainly to a board of nine directors appointed by
the mayor. In 1909 it had a faculty of 144 and 1364 students. Lane
Theological Seminary is situated in Walnut Hills, in the north-eastern
part of the city; it was endowed by Ebenezer Lane and the Kemper family;
was founded in 1829 for the training of Presbyterian ministers; had for
its first president (1832-1852) Lyman Beecher; and in 1834 was the scene
of a bitter contest between abolitionists in the faculty and among the
students, led by Theodore Dwight Weld, and the board of trustees, who
forbade the discussion of slavery in the seminary and so caused about
four-fifths of the students to leave, most of them going to Oberlin
