Today starts classes for the 2020-21 academic year at Ohio Northern University. Here's a colorized post card photo showing a much earlier student body. We're not certain of the year, but based on student dress, it feels like circa 1910.
And, it appears that bow ties are never really out of fashion.
The wording at the bottom of the photo reads: "An acre of students on Ohio Northern University, Ada, Ohio."
This photo is from the collection of the Ada Public Library.
El Campo Restaurant, Main Street, Ada, will donate a portion of its sales on Monday, Aug. 10, to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Hardin County, according to Rhett Grant, director of the Ada Public Library.
A weeklong “Dine for Dolly in Hardin County” takes place Aug. 9 to 15 with four different restaurants participating in the fundraiser. It all starts on Monday with El Campo.
Ohio Northern University students begin classes on Monday. It's the earliest start for classes here, as the campus calendar adopted a safer approach to the covid-19 pandemic and the potential winter flu season. The semester will conclude at Thanksgiving.
Following a recommendation this week from the Governor’s Office to shorten the season due to concerns that COVID-19 may spike in early winter, the Ohio High School Athletic Association announced Friday that if high school football games are approved by the Governor, all teams will enter the playoffs beginning Oct. 9 and the state championship games will be played no later than Nov. 21.
The OHSAA Board of Directors, which assisted OHSAA staff to create the proposal and approved it by a 9-0 vote, considers this a win-win situation for all schools since it will not matter how many games each team has played leading up to the playoffs.
