Thank you for this. Sadly, Emory hall and Carnegie library are no longer standing. The school has undergone many, many changes.

I learned I was a part of 330 Freshman in 1974, President Lionel Newsom.

I am so proud to be a part of this Historically Black University. I Love my HBCU- Wilberforce University. I attended Wilberforce University from 1979-1983. I finished early in December of 83 and went back to walk( graduate in 84). I lived in Shorter Hall as a Freshman and Sophomore. I was told that Shorter Hall was for Upper Classmen, but a few of us ended up housing in Shorter Hall. Yes, I had to walk to the main campus for my classes and to the Union to eat in the cafeteria and mingle with friends. I also had to walk over to Central State to take classes as well. The friends I made, the education I got, and the historical connection were worth the walk, and don't forget about Dawn Dance. I am tearing up just thinking about the good times I had at Wilberforce University. Thank you Central State for sharing this video. You were born out of Wilberforce, so continue to hold on to our history and share it with the world.

I always wanted to know the backstory on that facility. Thanks for the history lesson

We could have lost his home in 2974 OF that tornado had veered more south east. Now, this gem is looking at getting a total? restoration?

I learned somethings new (to me). My family lived southeast of Xenia, on Jasper Road. We saw the tornado. In curiosity, I still wonder where it was when we saw it i.e. what part of town or was it churning toward CSU?

David Brown CSU Class of 1983..... I knew some of this info, but this has broadened my knowledge of Tawawa woods!

Cavalry, not calvary.

I lived on Nash Road, not far from Wilberforce, and would pass by CSU everyday on the school bus. Beautiful campus. Seeing the devastation from the tornado shortly afterwards really stayed with me.

thank you for the history

I was a member of the Central State university jazz band that traveled with and played on the Nancy Wilson benefit concerts in Cincinnati and Cleveland. It was an honor to contribute

In the fall of 1894, Charles Young received a detached service assignment that wound up sending him to Wilberforce, Ohio. Young was to take over the planning and eventual teaching of the new Military Sciences & Tactics courses at Wilberforce University. The original choice to fill this teaching position, Lieutenant John Hanks Alexander, died suddenly in Springfield, Ohio on March 26th and Lieutenant Young was dispatched to take up for Alexander. Lieutenants Alexander and Young had roomed together for a few years while at the West Point Military Academy and they also served at Fort Duchesne, Utah together for some time, so Young was no stranger to Alexander. Eventually, Lieutenant Young would build the program to just over 100 cadets by the 1898 class. Additionally, Young also helped establish the Wilberforce University marching band. Music played an integral part of Young's life, so it was no wonder that he enthusiastically helped to create the university marching band since he had helped to teach and direct the band at his previous duty station in Fort Duchense. Lieutenant Young remained at Wilberforce as a professor until early 1898 when the war with Spain had begun with the infamous sinking of the battleship U.S.S. Maine in Cuba. While Young did not re-join his troopers of the 9th Cavalry, he did wind up being appointed as Major and commander of the Ninth Ohio Battalion, U.S. Volunteers

Stuuupid ass video waste of time. Should be titled "mothefool with nothing better to do part 1"

Being an alumna of Central State University, my alma mater has maintained its greatness by continuing to enrich the lives of future leaders.

The original appointment was assigned to 2nd Lieutenant John Hanks Alexander (01061864 to 03261894) The Second African American Graduate from The US Military Academy West Point Class of 1887. 2nd Lt. Alexander was Charles Young's roommate at West Point. They serve together in the 9th US Cavalry Regiment at Fort Duchesne until 1894. 2nd Lt. John Hanks Alexander untimely death in his assignment allowed 2nd Lt. Charles D Young to be assigned as his replacement.
