The Ohio State University, commonly referred to as Ohio State or OSU, is a public research university in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1870, as a land-grant university and ninth university in Ohio with the Morrill Act of 1862, the university was originally known as the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical... College. The college began with a focus on training students in various agricultural and mechanical disciplines but was developed into a comprehensive university under the direction of Governor Rutherford B. Hayes and by 1878, the college changed its name to its current name. It has since grown into the third largest university campus in the United States. In 2007, Ohio State was officially designated as the flagship institution of Ohio's public universities as part of the newly centralized University System of Ohio. It is considered to be one of America's Public Ivy universities, which recognizes top public research universities in the United States. Along with its main campus in Columbus, Ohio State also operates a regional campus system with regional campuses in Lima, Mansfield, Marion, Newark, and Wooster.

Wheaton is a community located in DuPage County, Illinois, approximately 25 miles west of Chicago and Lake Michigan. Wheaton is the county seat of DuPage County. As of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 52,894. In 2010 it was listed by Money Magazine as one of the 25 highest... earning towns in the United States. The town is regularly noted for its outstanding school system, New England style community, and more recently as a financial center for investment management companies. The city dates its founding to the period between 1831 and 1837, following the Indian Removal Act, when Erastus Gary laid claim to 790 acres of land near present-day Warrenville. The Wheaton brothers arrived from Connecticut, and in 1837 Warren Wheaton laid claim to 640 acres of land in the center of town. Jesse Wheaton later made claim to 300 acres of land just west of Warren's. It was not long before other settlers from New England joined them in the community. In 1848, they gave the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad three miles of right-of-way, upon which railroad officials named the depot Wheaton.
