Pharmacy Building The School of Pharmacy The School of Pharmacy was organized in 1885 by Dr. Lehr, immediately after legislation made it compulsory for druggists to pass a state examination before practicing pharmacy. Mr. Charles Ashbrook was summoned to take the office of Dean. He resigned shortly after and thereafter for some years it was difficult to locate the right man for the office. Finally, the Hon. Brigham Young, who became a national figure in latter life, took charge. He was succeeded by David C. Moehler who held the chair until 1917. In 1917 Rudolph R. Raabe, the present Dean, took the office. In the years which he has held academic authority he lias done much to build up a more extensive and thorough course in the art of pharmacy. The completely equipped laboratories and systematized courses are mute tributes to his work. A glance into the state records of pharmacy grades on state examinations will serve to convince that the School of Pharmacy at Northern is doing it’s work well. The majority of high honors in the past years have gone to men from Ohio Northern. That is achievement. The aim of the School, is to graduate pharmacists who will be competent, intelligent and safe. The motto taught typifies the spirit of the School, “Service.” —Edward Trory Ptuje fifteen

Warren G. Haruinc Memoriae The Harding College of Law The College of Law was organized as a department of the University in 1885, and numbers among its alumni and former students many of the most prominent lawyers of Ohio and other states. The new building of the College of Law was com¬ pleted in the spring of 1924. At this time the name was changed to the Warren G. Harding College of Law in commemoration of the late Warren CL Harding, who held an honorary degree from the Ohio Northern University. It is a beautiful ornamental brick—in the classic design—containing a large well-lighted library and reading room, also Moot Court and four lecture rooms. The aim of the founders of the College of Law was to afford an opportunity for students of limited means, to secure a collegiate training in law, and by connecting it with the University to offer to them an added opportunity of obtaining the general education indispensable to the successful study and practice of law. ' The faculty has been enlarged in the past few years, and is considered one of the best in the country. In all respects the Law College, with the addition of the new building and equipment, is better prepared than ever to accomplish the purpose of its founders, and to add greatly to its high record of usefulness and service. —Marie Fiai.i.a.

Lehr Memorial The School of Commerce In honor of Dr. H. S. Lehr, the Lehr Memorial was erected in the central part of Ohio Northern Campus in the year 1914. The edifice houses the School of Com¬ merce, executive and administrative offices and library. Here also we find the . V. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. headquarters and chapel. The School of Commerce occupies the third floor of this beautiful building. Since making its home here, the department has progressed rapidly, annually adding equipment until at the present time it is one of the best equipped departments at Northern. A Commercial Club was organized in 1914. The object was to exchange ideas among the different members of the School of Commerce and to secure speakers of note on various topics of interest to the commercial students. In the fall of 1924 the club was reorganized and a very stro ng program for the entire school was arranged. Under the capable leadership of Dean Long a bright future awaits thi school of the University. —Dorothy Braque. Ptitje sixteen
