Doug McCabe : Ohio University has been like many or perhaps most universities over time: sometimes a good steward of these ideals.

It took 20 years before a Black male became a student, he says.

McCabe: In the 1950s , Black students could not even get haircuts or hair care products in town; they were segregated in campus housing.

He says the first break in the gender barrier only came after the Civil War .

We must resist with all the power we have to stop these attacks on our institutions and our liberties. Religion, morality and knowledge are necessary to good government. Doug McCabe , Ohio University BSS '88 and MA ' 91 , is the retired curator of manuscripts at Ohio University and lives in Lancaster .
