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

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

The Preparatory School There has been preparatory work at Ohio Northern University since the found¬ ing of the school in 1871. The college work and preparatory work was never dif¬ ferentiated until 1910. In the spring of 1910 the 1 lustees recognized the College of Liberal Arts as distinct from the Normal School, tints making it ' necessary to have the preparatory school separate from the College. In 1922 this school was placed on the accredited list by the State Department of Education of Ohio. It is the purpose of this school to prepare students for College entrance and to afford an opportunity to any desiring to complete the work commonly required in first class high schools. — Paul H.
