Celebrating 90 years of music at ONU and Presser Hall

If the building could sing its performance would cover the musical landscape
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, January 11, 2018

Theodore Presser had taught at Northern during its first year, and he maintained cordial relations with President Henry Solomon Lehr. After leaving teaching, Presser entered the field of music publishing and founded the firm which still bears his name.

In 1925, Presser's will provided funds for music buildings on 10 campuses, including Ohio Northern's. In ONU’s case, this gift amounted to around $100,000 (equal to $1.5 million in today’s dollars due to inflation).
