This work is intended to provide a concise pictorial history of Ohio Northern University. A brief summary of the institution's past is provided in the Introduction, but the photographs speak for themselves.
Descriptive material is provided with each picture.
Those interested in a more detailed treatment of the history of Ohio Northern University may wish to consult two earlier publications. The first of these, H.S. Lehr and His School , by Sarah Lehr Kennedy was published in 1938. Mrs. Kennedy was the daughter of the institution's founder, Henry Solomon Lehr. She was a student at Ohio Northern and served as her father's secretary until her graduation in 1893. In this capacity, she would have been well placed to observe the operation of the university during the later years of the Lehr administration.
