Jlhxts to Hr. liirlir How rapidly the time has sped. Forty-four years or more have fled Since a dear little man With a very wise head, And a warm German heart Began to reign in this part. His name we at present withhold. But he is worth his weight in pure gold. For that matter his life and his work are ours to behold, They speak volumes for this great benefactor. To this village, now Ada, the beautiful, the renown, But in other days plain Johnstown, A true benediction he came Without any herald or fame In his heart were his life’s hopes and plans to found A school to benefit man. But we have grown famous In country, State and town For our good material in cap and gown Our gratitude we would be expressing To him who like a blessing here settled down, In spite of all that was said about plans, school and location, Not one discouragement, unseen or in sight, Could swerve him from duty or what he deemed right. Why not bring laurels with gratitude due. To our own faithful founder of the old O. N. U. No matter what befell him. This great love upheld that heart, brave and true. There were days dark and gloomy, Those of sunshine and rain, But he kept on going—just the same. It was the red blood in his veins, Which gave inspiration. He knew in his heart that he could— And determined with Go d’s help he should,— If given any chance — makegood. Here in these halls he provided a home for the worker. Not a room here is found For a literary loafer or shirker. You must deal square Then you will fare Round here, with President, Professor and Founder. Today there is no school better. Nor hangs her success upon some Greek letter. Our endowment is men and women with courage and brain, Who have strength and character and a good name. These are the credentials our founder requires To which each and all may aspire. His plans were his own. Our school stands out democratic and unique, To this thousands poor in this world’s goods May truthfully speak. Here to these halls come some very raw timber And oh, how uncouth!

But out in the world, yea, far over the ocean. These very ones are filling high places and preaching God’s truth.. Oh that innumerable host. The vast body of students. That owe allegience and honor To this noble man, brave and true. What left he undone for you — When he fought so bravely €orthe old O. N. U. ? Come one, Come all, join in the toast, Come from your places— Whether in America or on some foreign coast. Would that we could call the roll— That each could answer by name. And ask that you join in a home coming again. Come and meet old friends tried and true, Come while he is here to welcome you— Back to your places in the 0. N. U. Come let us recount the days long gone by. Let sweet memory have full sweep for the time. As we talk about those days of Auld Lang Syne! Come with your greetings To him whom we all love And honor, so true. Our Dear Doctor Lehr— President Emeritus — founder of the old O. N. U. —R. M.
