History
Lehr founded ONU in 1871 after serving five years as the schoolmaster in Ada. During that time, he used the school's facilities to teach "select" classes beyond the traditional curriculum. In summer 1870 he proposed to the citizens of Ada a plan to purchase land for a campus and an academic building. Classes at the Northwestern Ohio Normal School, as it was originally known, began in August 1871.
