| | The OSU Oval |
 | | Because of this persistent interest, this memorandum is written to tell how and when the Oval originated and when it came to be known as the Oval, and to indicate some of the uses of the Oval over the years. |
 | | Beginning in 1912, the space was often called the "campus oval," "the main oval," or the oval with some other modifying adjective. |
 | | Finally, the Oval provides a place for a great variety of outdoors events ranging from individual or small group, informal activities to large group events, which may be officially sponsored and planned or unofficial, spontaneous "happenings" of many kinds. |
