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

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

The A. D. Julliard School of Music The School of Music was added in 1879, the ninth year of the University’s existence. It’s first director was Theo. Presser, now a millionaire music publisher of Philadelphia. This school is now known by the name of one who has given it much financial aid, the late A. D. Julliard, a wealthy patron of music of New York. The aim of the school is to give essential and thorough musical training at a nominal expense. Complete courses leading to a diploma are available through the generosity of friends of the institution. The Public School Music Course is coming more and more to the foreground to equip workers in this ever widening field of activity. Under such capable instructors as Dean Killeen and Professors Lamale, Warren and Brewer, the A. D. Julliard School of Music is doing, and will do much toward putting Ohio Northern in the annals of history. Music is a means of intellectual culture. You can live just as long without it ... . but not as well! Without idealism, no music; without music, no idealism. —Mildred Osmon. Page seventeen
