Diamond Plan Told At
Ohio Northern

A proposal is making the rounds
that the diamond anniversary year Of
Ohio Northern university, starting at
commencement June 3, should be OBJ
served by presenting the institution
with the weight in diamonds of its
president, Robert o. Mcclure. The
novel proposal doubtless was inspired
by the recent Moslem gift of dia-
monds to Aga Kahn, their portly
spiritual leader.
DR.. Mcclure declared himself fav-
orable to the proposal in principle,
but pointed out that he is only mod
erately endowed with both height and
weight.
He suggested the diamonds, if
given, might better be measured
against the weight of 200-pound
Ralph Breeder of Upper Sandusky,
president of the Ohio Northern Alum
nj association.
