Don’t reinvent the wheel is a common idiom meaning do not duplicate efforts to create something when a basic method has already been created or optimized to improve the outcome. A young Anthony J. D’Angelo was quoted as saying “don’t reinvent the wheel, just realign it.” At the age of 23, Tony D’Angelo in 1995 decided to challenge the mindset of higher education. He felt that colleges were handing out degrees but not really educating young adults to function in the world. Based on his own educational experience in college, he felt as if he learned more about life from his activities and involvement than from his courses.
The following announcement was provided by Ohio Northern University:
Ohio Northern University is saddened to share the news that Dr. James Lehr Kennedy, the great-grandson of our founder Henry Solomon Lehr and an influential University leader in his own right, died on Tuesday, Feb. 15 at his home in Columbus, Ohio.
As we celebrate our sesquicentennial anniversary, the ONU community will always be grateful to Jim and the legacy he generously furthered. His vision, commitment and innovation have shaped the University in ways that will always positively impact our campus and the world.
An old Chinese proverb—“remember the source of the water when you drink it”—reminds us that our past is important.
Often the demands of day-to-day life preclude us from giving more than a fleeting thought to those who came before us. But sometimes a life event, such as a death or the discovery of old journals in a dusty attic, can kindle an interest and launch a journey.
