McMicken, an early 19th century businessman from Pennsylvania, bequeathed the city of Cincinnati money and property “ to found an institution where white boys and girls might be taught ” when he died in 1858.
McMicken's name will remain on buildings — McMicken Hall, McMicken Circle, McMicken Commons and "Mick and Mack" statues and restaurant. The university will add digital displays which will "more fully and fairly represent the histories associated with McMicken."
