A piece of ONU's past

You can have a Clark Hall brick
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, July 31, 2018

By Monty Siekerman
Clark Hall is gone, having been demolished and hauled away in trucks during the past month, but a limited number of bricks were saved and are available at $50 each.

Clark served as a residence hall for many years. Those with fond memories of the place can keep a brick as a memento.

Proceeds from the sale of the bricks will benefit the Northern Fund which supports campus improvements, academic programs, student life, faculty research and financial aid.

Bricks can be purchased via online pre-pay. They will be available for pick up at the activities tent at Homecoming.

March 1930 the second death of an Ohio Northern University student within ten days through auto accidents brought a ban on automobiles without permits on the campus. Ralph Sealand, Lakewood and Thomas Downs, Bryan, were the victims.

March 1930 Turner Hall, girls dormitory, at Ohio Northern University was opened for public inspection after purchasing the P.W. Turner home in February. The home was erected by Dr. H.S. Lehr and was the family home for many years.

Thank you volunteers and for all the Ada community support
Posted by LizGH on Monday, July 30, 2018

Icon viewers:

2018 Red Cross Learn To Swim Program is completed for this summer.  75 students participated in the nine days of lessons!  We had great weather again this year, although a cooler second week.  I would like to thank the Village of Ada for the facility to hold the lessons.  The pool staff had the facility open and ready for the volunteers and swimmers each morning.  The water was wonderful, the pool area was always clean and ready for our use and the lifeguards were very attentive to the swimmers.
