Editing University of Akron (section)

===20th century===
In 1907, the college shed its Universalist affiliation and became a non-denominational institution, in order to be able to receive funds from the [[Carnegie Corporation of New York|Carnegie Foundation]], which would not give funds to religiously affiliated schools.{{Citation needed|date=August 2020}} In 1913, Buchtel College trustees transferred the institution and its assets to the city of [[Akron, Ohio|Akron]], and Buchtel College became the Municipal University of Akron. At this time, the enrollment was 198 students. Tax money levied for the school and Akron's growing population led to strong growth for the university.  Over the next several decades the university continued to add new buildings to accommodate its growing student population, acquiring more land through purchases and donations. In 1963, Governor [[Jim Rhodes]] approved the university as a state-assisted institution.  Enrollment in 1964 was 10,000 students. In 1967, it fully became a state university, providing its current name as The University of Akron.  In 2015, 25,117 students were enrolled at the University of Akron.
