My theory (that I have often mentioned to friends) is that this is because 17 is the first sufficiently high number that has no structure or special meaning: 1  1â10 is too low. 2  11 is too close to 10. 3  12 has structure. 4  13 is unlucky/lucky (in several cultures) 5  14 has structure. 6  15 has structure. 7  16 has structure. 8  17â¦ Bingo!
When The Ohio State University Hospital was built in the 1950â²s, all hospital practices moved into it. Starling Loving University Hospital was renamed Starling Loving Hall on July 14, 1961. It no longer serves as a hospital facility but rather houses offices and classrooms.
The Werthan Wing was added to Medical Center North in 1964, and in 1967 Medical Center South was renovated and became part of the Medical Center. That same year, the Zerfoss Student Health Center, named in honor of Dr. Thomas B. Zerfoss, who was a University physician from 1926 to 1962, opened.
