W. Neher, but they were located together on the top shelf of the vault-like cabinet on the west wall of the Archives' vault. O. W. served as Acting President at Mount Morris College following the presidency of Professor W. W. Peters and prior to that of C. Ernest Davies. The College was in financial difficulty and this was a challenge for Neher who had served as Dean of Men and Professor of Biology. His dates at Mount Morris spanned from 1924-1932. When a fire forced Mount Morris to close its doors and merge with Manchester College, Neher came to Manchester and taught Biology from 1932-1954. | | Archivist Note | It is unclear whether all these materials belonged to O. W. Neher, but they were located together on the top shelf of the vault-like cabinet on the west wall of the Archives' vault.
