NORTHERN FROM SEPTEMBER TO lUN'E The College of Liberal Arts was reorganized in 1910 so that it offered a well-balanced cur- riculum in the field of general cultural training. The college also provided a thorough founda- tion for all students desiring pre-professional preparation. Ohio Northern has never boasted a huge enrollment, its peak being 1393 students follow- ing the close of World War ll. This has made it possible for the administration and student body to create a bond found in few schools. Students and faculty like to think of Ohio North- ern as an institution of close friendship and harmony. There are ten fraternities on the campus, eight of which belong to the lnter- fraternity Council. There is always a keen and sharp display of enthusiasm during any com- petition among the Greek groups, but they are all friends. Ohio Northern has as its purpose to prepare the student along his individual line of study, but to do this in a somewhat religious manner and setting. This is probably a leading factor in the close relationship between the adminis- tration and student body. ln bringing you another edition of the North- ern, we have attempted, through the medium of words and pictures to give you a book that will allow you to recall some highlights of campus life of the year 1950 and 1951. We see Returni.ng Students Meeting . . . New faces and the day of registration .... and the year began with parties: the S.C.A. party and All Campus Dance .... Next came the football season.: with the hopes of a good team, Then .... November: Grads Return .... old friends meet and have a good time. To Review Courts and rallies .... Honor the Dean and watch a race .... Kappa Psi wins the pushrnobile race for third year, Later they dcmced: Crowned a queen. Dorothy Rodgers was elected homecoming queen. Then .... To the lighter side and music .... With Ray Anthony at the I.F.C. Ball. A huge success and an outstanding dance with an even more fa- mous band. Culture made its imprint with an ensemble from the Eastman School of music. While some leave campus for knowledge .... Pharmics go to Lilly in Indianapolis and Engi- neers to Lima. Others stay for work? Comic books yet!! February: Centennial of Uncle Tom's Cabin .... And Pugilists Make Debut. Haugen, Kappa Psi, over Al Pashin, A.E.Pi. Nevertheless school goes on .... Sororities come to the front .... While O.N.U. goes aristo- cratic .... And makes campus improvement. And so goes the story of a year at Ohio Northern University. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the book and can pick it up five, ten, or twenty years from now and enjoy it just as much as now. c Page Five n

On September 4 of this school year, the students began swarming back to the campus of Ohio Northern. Suit cases and trunks lined the walks as the students unloaded their many possessions. After everyone had their clothes unpacked, they were anxious to see who had come back to school, to greet new stu- dents, and look around the campus. The Brown Library was full oi bewild- ered freshmen and new students. The advisors were hounded with such ques- tions as What does this mean? and What should I write here? To the young, inexperienced freshman those registration cards seem like a million. The next day the upperclassrnen went through the same process of registering. This was not quite such a complex prob- lem because they could do most of their own registering. The only annoying part was the long stand in the hot sun while waiting in a line which moved too slowly into Brown. Pre-school proinlems such as reg- istration were iaced by the new freshmen. Although some stu- dents did not quite seem decided as to what courses they would take, they did handle the job very capably. When everyone had their schedule planned, the migration was toward the bookstores. There they purchased their books and other school supplies so that they would be ready to get a good start in their classes on Thursday. Every- one was broke, but nevertheless happy and anxious to begin a new year of college life. 311GVliCfblQ lille- Northern like any other college has its registration line. Here the upperclassmen await their chance to fill out their schedule cards on Wednesday morning. Page Seven D
