HISTORY OF THE CENTENNIAL.
EDITOR'S PREFACE.
T HE Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society very successfully celebrated on their respective dates, the cen- tennial anniversaries of the settlement of Marietta and that of Gallipolis. For several years past it had been the aim and desire of the Society to properly observe the one-hundredth anni- versary of Ohio's organization as a state, which memorable event occurred on March 1, 1803. The subject was one of consideration and discussion at various previous meetings of the trustees, but was not formally acted upon until the annual meeting of the Soci- ety held June 6, 1902. The chief problem naturally was one of ex- pense. During the session of the Seventy-fifth General Assembly in the winter of 1902, Hon. David M. Massie, a life member of the Society, suggested the propriety of requesting the legislature to recognize the proposed anniversary by some fitting resolution. After due consultation on the part of the secretary of the Society with the governor and leading members of the House, the fol- lowing resolution was prepared by Mr. Massie and introduced by Hon. James C. Foster, of Ross County. It unanimously passed the House and also the Senate, where it was presented by Hon. Thomas M. Watts, senator from Highland County. It was :
WHEREAS, On the 29th day of November, 1802, the first constitu- tion of Ohio was ratified by the convention which framed it; and
WHEREAS, On February 17,* 1803, congress passed an act admitting Ohio into the Union under that constitution; and,
WHEREAS, On March 1, 1803, the first General Assembly of Ohio assembled and organized and Ohio thereupon became a state; and,
WHEREAS, The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society proposes to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the above named

great and important events in the history of Ohio in a suitable man- ner; and,
WHEREAS, The General Assembly of the State of Ohio recognizes the importance and significance of these events and believes that they should be duly celebrated; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Ohio State Archeological and Historical Society be requested to take charge of said celebration and conduct it, and that the governor of this state be requested and empowered to appoint seven honorary commissioners to represent the state in the preparation for and carrying on of this centennial celebration.
This resolution, known as House Joint Resolution No. 53, was passed April 21, 1902.
At the annual meeting of the Society, held June 6, 1902, the question of the centennial was formally brought to the atten- tion of the Society by the secretary. Mr. W. H. Hunter, one of the trustees, spoke earnestly and enthusiastically in favor of the Society holding the celebration of the Ohio Centennial in Chillicothe, the first capital of the state, and where the constitution was adoped on November 29, 1802. Col. James Kilbourne and Col. W. A. Taylor and other prominent members of the Society also favored Chillicothe. Petitions to the same effect were pre- sented from the City Council of Chillicohte, signed by its Presi- dent, Fred C. Mader, and Robert D. Alexander, City Clerk ; from the Ministerial Association of Chillicothe, signed by Austin M. Courtenay, President, and Chauncy M. Hamben, Secretary ; from the Merchants' Protective Association, of Chillicothe, signed by its President, Charles Hoyt, and Secretary H. K. Galbraith; from the Landlords' Protective Association, signed by W. D. Mills, President, and from the Grocers' Protective Association.
Prof. C. L. Martzolff thought the attention of the public schools should be called to the anniversary and the school teachers interested therein. It would be a patriotic and educational feature for the Society to prepare a brief publi- cation concerning the centennial, its significance, the literature pertinent thereto and a program of exercises to be followed by the various grades of pupils in observing the centennial day. This idea was heartily approved.
The decision as to the date and place of the celebration was referred to the Board of Trustees, which met immediately

after the adjournment of the Society. At this meeting it was agreed by the Trustees that the Society accept the invitation from Chillicothe to celebrate at that place the Ohio Centennial Anni- versary - the day to be later determined by the Executive Com- mittee of the trustees.
In accordance with the provisions of House Joint Resolu- tion No. 53, Governor Nash, on June 19, 1902, appointed the following commissioners to co-operate with the Ohio State Ar- chæological and Historical Society: Gen. J. Warren Keifer, Springfield; Hon. Rush R. Sloane, Sandusky; General B. R. Cowen, Cincinnati; General James Barnett, Cleveland; Hon. David S. Gray, Columbus ; General Charles M. Anderson, Green- ville; Hon. Robert W. Manly, Chillicothe.
On October 22, 1902, during its extraordinary session, the General Assembly (75th), appropriated to the Ohio State Archæ- ological and Historical Society "for expenses of the centennial anniversary of the admission of Ohio into the Union * to be paid out upon vouchers approved by the Governor and Sec- retary of said Society," the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
The Trustees of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society at this time were: Judge James H. Anderson, Columbus ; Bishop B. W. Arnett, Wilberforce; Hon. Elroy M. Avery, Cleve- land ; Mr. George F. Bareis, Canal Winchester ; Gen. R. Brinker- hoff, Mansfield; Judge M. D. Follett, Marietta; Hon. Charles P. Griffin*, Toledo; Hon. R. E. Hills, Delaware; Mr. W. H. Hunter, Chillicothe; Col. James Kilbourne, Columbus; Rev. N. B. C. Love, Deshler; Prof. J. P. Maclean, Franklin ; Prof. C. L. Martzolff, New Lexington; Hon. A. R. McIntire, Mt. Ver- non; Prof. B. F. Prince, Springfield; Mr. E. O. Randall, Co- lumbus; Hon. S. S. Rickly, Columbus; Hon. D. J. Ryan, Co- lumbus : Rev. H. A. Thompson, Dayton; Gen. George B. Wright, Columbus and Prof. G. Frederick Wright, Oberlin. This board of Trustees had chosen at its annual meeting, June 6, 1902, as its Executive Committee, Messrs Brinkerhoff, Wright (Geo. B.), Bareis, Rickly, McIntire, Prince, Ryan, Wright (G. Fred),

Hunter and Randall. Under the usual method of procedure by the Society this Executive Committee acted for the Trustees in the arrangements for the centennial.
On November 14, 1902, in the Judiciary Building, Columbus, was held the first joint meeting of the Centennial Commission and the Executive Committee of the Society. Governor Nash was present and was made honorary president of the joint commis- sion. General J. Warren Keifer was made permanent chairman and Mr. E. O. Randall permanent secretary. After some discus- sion concerning the relative authority and power of the com- mission appointed by the Governor and the executive committee of the Society, it was decided, without opposition, that the cen- tennial commission and executive committee act throughout in all respects as a single committee, it being understood that the centennial was to be celebrated under the auspices of the Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society, but with the advice and co-operation of the commission appointed by the Governor. This united committee was thereafter known as the Joint Cen- tennial Commission. The following resolution was adopted :
"That the centennial of the adoption of the Constitution of Ohio be celebrated at Chillicothe, Saturday, November 29, 1902, and that the centennial of the organization of Ohio into the Union (that date being March 1, 1803) be celebrated at Chillicothe, the first state capital, on Wednesday and Thursday, May 20 and 21, 1903."
This date in May was selected in preference to the historic and correct one of March I, as the latter date this year (1903) fell on Sunday, and moreover stormy and uncertain March would be a more inconvenient and inclement season for the attendance of the people than the pleasant and merry month of May.
The ceremonies of the anniversary of the first constitutional convention, November 29, 1902, were to be entirely under the auspices and direction of the local authorities at Chillicothe, but the Centennial Commission and all officials and members of the State Archæological and Historical Society were invited to be present as guests of honor.
Governor Nash being called upon for his views as to the nature of the proposed centennial celebration, stated that it was

his idea that it should be a literary and historical event, with no attempt at an exposition; prominent and competent speakers should be chosen to deliver addresses pertinent to the occasion. The legislative appropriation was not sufficient for any military, industrial or spectacular display. If the patriotic people of Chil- licothe desired to have an exhibition of historical relics, a parade or other attractive features fitting and interesting, they should

be permitted and encouraged to do so. In this view the members of the Joint Commission generally concurred.
General Charles M. Anderson suggested that the program of subjects for the speeches be so designated and arranged as to practically present in sequence a history of the state from the time of the establishment of the Northwest Territory to the present time, that of the centennial celebration.
Hon. A. R. McIntire presented the plan which had been con- templated by the Society to have a celebration throughout the

state by the school children on some day, proximate as possible to the actual date, March I.
The secretary of the Joint Centennial Commission was authorized to have designed, engraved and printed a handsome symbolic souvenir invitation to be sent to such recipients, in Ohio and other states, as might be thought entitled to such courtesy and recognition.
The Joint Centennial Commission then selected an executive committee which was empowered to formulate a program in de- tail for the centennial and report at the earliest convenience to the Joint Centennial Commission. The Executive Committee thus chosen consisted of Messrs. Keifer, Gray, Manly, Brinker- hoff, Hunter, Ryan and Randall. The Executive Committee held meetings at Chillicothe on November 29, 1902, and Colum- bus, December 13, 1902.
On November 29, 1902, the Centennial celebration of the adoption of Ohio's first constitution took place at Chillicothe. As the convening of that memorable first convention and its deliberations were an inseparable part of the proceedings by which Ohio was organized into a State, the centennial anni- versary exercises of that event may be regarded as a proper prelude to the celebration of Ohio's Statehood. The proceedings at Chillicothe on November 29, 1902, are therefore given in full in this volume. On that occasion the Hon. Daniel J. Ryan, trustee of The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, delivered the oration on "Ohio's First Constitution," and Hon. . William T. McClintick, a life member of the Society, made a most interesting address upon "The Men and Times of the First Convention."
On December 29, 1902, the Joint Centennial Commission held its second meeting at which the Executive Committee made its report of the proposed topics and speakers selected for the centennial. At this meeting the committee appointed by the So- ciety to arrange for the school children's celebration also made its report. That committee, consisting of Prof. C. L. Martzolff, Hon. D. J. Ryan and Prof. Frank B. Pearson, presented a carefully pre- pared scheme for the celebration, by the pupils of the public schools, of the admission of Ohio into the Union. That day was

to be known as "Ohio Day." It was decided to hold that cele- bration on Friday, February 27, 1903, that being the nearest avail- able date for the schools to the actual date of March I. The com- mittee submitted a complete schedule of exercises for that day, an outline of sufficiently varied nature to suit the different grades of pupils and to cover points of interest in Ohio history from the Mound Builders to the present time. This program in the form of a pamphlet was to be entitled the "Ohio Centennial Syllabus" and was to be sent, as far as possible, to the teachers throughout the state. The plan had the approval of Governor Nash and Hon. L. D. Bonebrake, State Commissioner of Schools, and the co-operation of Hon. O. T. Corson, editor Ohio Educational Monthly. The Joint Centennial Commission unanimously en- dorsed the project and authorized the committee to proceed with the publication and distribution of the syllabus.
Governor Nash, General Keifer, General Brinkerhoff and Mr. Manly was chosen a committee to visit Washington and personally invite President Roosevelt, Senators Foraker and Hanna and Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, to be present at the anniversary and make addresses upon the topics assigned them.
On January 21, 1903, the committee as chosen, journeyed to Washington and received cordial acceptances from Senators For- aker and Hanna and Congressman Grosvenor. The President ex- pressed great regret that he would, at the time mentioned for the centennial, be on his California tour.
On February 23, 1903, the Executive Committee again met and further perfected the proposed program. Most of the speak- ers invited had accepted, but a few unavoidable declinations re- mained to be provided for.
On February 27 the school celebration designated as "Ohio Day" was observed by most of the public schools throughout the state. Fifteen thousand copies of "The Ohio Centennial Sylla- bus" had been sent to the teachers including every county of Ohio. The pupils had been instructed and drilled according to the sug- gestions of the syllabus which made an interesting pamphlet of 65 pages, comprising an introduction by School Commissioner Bone- brake; brief recital of the history and work of the Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society ; statement of the committee

which prepared the syllabus, setting forth the purpose of the school celebration ; the origin of the plan and steps taken to carry it out. The material chosen for this booklet was carefully se- lected by the committee from leading histories, volumes of poems, standard works of literature, publications of the Ohio Archæo- logical and Historical Society, etc .; the syllabus also contained a valuable list of reference books pertinent to Ohio history. The publication was issued in an attractive form with an artistic cover upon which was printed in colors the national flag. The demand for this booklet far exceeded the ability of the committee to sup- ply it. By means of this syllabus, hundreds of thousands of the pupils in the Ohio schools celebrated with song and recitation and patriotic exercises, the hundredth birthday of the Buckeye state, "Ohio, firstborn of the great Northwest." It was the most inspiring, educational and influential feature of the centennial proceedings as inaugurated by the State Archæological and His- torical Society. Probably in no part of the country at any time has so complete a program of a state event been so universally observed by the public school children. The results of the Ohio Day will certainly be inestimable, for the proceedings not only added vastly to the information and interest of the rising gener- ation in the career of their own state, but it was an impressive and significant occasion to the youthful participants, and well cal- culated to stimulate and strengthen their study of the growth and achievements not merely of Ohio, but the American Republic.
The Joint Centennial Commission held its third meeting on March 6, 1903, in consultation with a committee from Chillicothe, consisting of Mayor W. D. Yaple, General S. H. Hurst, Mr. D. H. Roche and Mr. W. H. Brimson. The work of the commission and the local Chillcothe committee thus far accomplished, was re- viewed and further details of the centennial were mutually and harmoniously agreed upon.
Early in April, the Secretary of the Commission, according to the authority vested in him, sent out some seven thousand of the engraved invitations to the Centennial. These invitations were issued to: Members of the Ohio General Assembly; all the newspapers in Ohio; presidents of all colleges and universities ; hundreds of superintendents and teachers of public schools ; offi-

On May 5, 1903, Governor Nash issued the following proc- lamation, which was published in the newspapers throughout the state :
PROCLAMATION
On March 1, 1803, the first General Assembly of Ohio met and organized at Chillicothe, Ohio, and at that time the State of Ohio en- tered its career of statehood.
The centennial celebration of this event will be held at Chillicothe, May 20 and 21, by authority of the General Assembly of Ohio and under the auspices of the Ohio State Archeological and Historical Society.
The growth and development of Ohio during the century of its statehood has been one commensurate with the greatness of our Nation. It is fitting that its achievements be properly observed, to the end that the commemoration of its great deeds and the lives of its founders may be not only perpetuated for the benefit of generations to come, but may be a source of inspiration to the living of to-day.
Now, therefore, in behalf of the State, I invite its officials and the people thereof to assemble at Chillicothe on the dates aforesaid and par- ticipate in the celebration there to be observed.

The Executive Committee met on May 8, and as a result of many weeks, indeed months, of labor and deliberation and con- ference with the Joint Centennial Commission and the Chilli- cothe committees, announced the following detailed program for the two days' centennial celebration :
