Dukes Memorial College of Engineering Engineering has been the art of creating material things for centuries and not until the 19th century did it come into its own. Our 20th century has fully realized the value of Engineering Science and now we have Mechanical. Electrical. Civil. Chemical and Mining Engineering as the major group. Ohio Northern early recognized the value of this science and in 1881 Engineering was established as a separate course. In 1884 the Mechanical school was established. Then followed the Electrical school and later the Chemical department. With all these established the work began to build these courses and in 1903 we find them lengthened to ten terms. Under the able leadership of Prof. D. D. Ewing and Dr. T. J. Smull, the college grew rapidly and many other men well versed in Engineering have been a great aid to this department. The fall of 1925 brought another new era by increasing the course to four full years and placing it on par with other four year institu¬ tions. The college was fortunate at this time in securing Col. H. C. Boyden as Dean. Col. Boyden is a widely known engineer of great repute and adds considerable prestige to this department. The Engineer must be equipped to handle all problems of life concerning humanity. Being the man the world must thank for our present day con¬ veniences. he must be a leader in his community. He must be well versed in mathematics and mechanics, must know labor problems, and be well versed in current events in order to accomplish his work economically. He must be a great studen of humanity and create his achievements for the betterment of man. -Jll j r .Xii? ! IP ! page fourteen

The College of Liberal Arts The College of Liberal Arts originated during the transition of the Ohio Normal School into the Ohio Northern University. With a small student body and a scant teaching force at the beginning, it has developed until majors and minors are offered in all phases of Languages, Sciences, Mathematics, History and Religion. The expansion program has been effected by the untiring efforts of Dean Huber, and in a few years we will see the conferring of the Masters Degree in this department. This college in its purpose to broaden the horizon of individuals to develop the intrinsic value of high citizenship and prepare them for life ' s work has been doing for humanity a great service.
