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 University of Cincinnati acknowledges 1819 as the year of its founding. In that year, two components of the current university were incorporated: Cincinnati College and the Medical College of Ohio. Both of these educational initiatives, taken just 30 years after Cincinnati was founded by twenty-six settlers in 1788, were dependent upon the gifts of concerned citizens.
