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

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.

In this building are found the administrative offices, the library, the Y. W. C. A., the Y. M. C. A., and the college auditorium. On the third floor of this beautiful edifice are the light airy rooms of the Department of Commerce. This department has grown rapidly in size since it has been organized and it has necessitated the enlargement of several of the rooms. Students com¬ pleting the Commercial Teachers Training Course are granted a diploma with the rank, Graduate of Pedagogy in Commerce”; and those completing the two year course are ranked Graduate in Commerce. In 1914 the Commerce Club was organized and was reorganized in 1924. Since that time it has been one of the live organizations on the campus and is one of the most helpful phases of the Department of Commerce to the students of this school. Under the guidance of Dean E. E. Long and Prof. E. E. Elliott, the School of Commerce has a glorious future ahead of it.
