Warren G. Harding Memorial The Warren G. Harding College of Law Ohio Northern has long been famous for the eminence of its graduates in the legal profession. Many of the country ' s most able statesmen including at the present time three United States Senators, are products of this institution. The College of Law is one of the old departments in the University being organized in 1885, Its rapid growth necessitated the building of a modern structure which was completed in the spring of 1924. Beginning in the fall term 1926, one year’s attendance in a School of Liberal Arts will be required to obtain entrance into the College of Law. In 1927 two year ' s of Liberal Arts will be required. The faculty, under the leadership of that able jurist, William Price Henderson, has been steadily increased in the last few years, and is considered one of the best in the country. The purpose of the College of Law is to give a thorough systematic grounding in the history and fundamental principles of the law, and to incul¬ cate the principles of legal ethics and of the lawyers public responsibility to the end that the young lawyer may take his proper place as a leader in his community.

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

I ' Pharmacy Building The College of Pharmacy Dr. Lehr founded the College of Pharmacy in 1885, shortly after it be¬ came compulsory to pass the state board examination to practice Pharmacy. The first Dean was Mr. Charles Ashbrook. He resigned after a short time and not until the University secured the service of the Hon. Brigam Young did this department make a successful showing. Mr. Young proved himself a great organizer. He was succeeded by David C. Moehler who remained at the head until 1917. In 1917 Rudolph R. Raabe. the present Dean, took charge. He has been a very successful builder since he became Dean. The many improvements are in evidence every where and to Dean Raabe should go the credit. He now has an able staff to aid in this work by having such men as Sleeceman. Hampshire, and Kuester. The work done by this department is evident by the good records made by all students taking the state board examination each year. The majority of high honors in the past years have gone to men from Ohio Northern. 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.” «= } ' pa ie sixteen
