Last night, Ron Paul addressed a packed auditorium of nearly 1700 students at the Ohio State University. 

The evening began with musical entertainment from Jordan Page, a guitarist who sang songs promoting peace and civil rights. Following the performance, Foxnews.com's Andrew "Judge" Napolitano broadcast his show "Freedom Watch" live from the stage.

When Paul took the stage a little after 8, the crowd reached its loudest volume.

Dr. Paul frequently expresses his delight at speaking on college campuses.

"I enjoy going around the country and speaking to the students," Paul said. He was positive about high numbers of students attending his events. "That delights me because of the burden placed on that generation."

He ended the speech with words of hope for the future:

"There's reason to be optimistic," he said. "I go to the universities and see young people involved. Young people need to be involved in the revolution."
