Lerner, Max J. Thirty years of service: The first three decades of Ohio's independently governed two-year colleges : with special emphasis on Lorain County Community College. 1995.
"Writing this book has made me realize once again the importance of those independently operated two-year colleges to Ohio's youth and adults. I recall that some of my associates in Lorain said that I was wasting my time by promoting Lorain County Community College; the community was not smart enough to operate its own college, they claimed, and the citizens would not support the institution financially. I take a great deal of satisfaction, from both a personal and professional point of view, in seeing their claims proved wrong by the growth and development of my favorite community college, Lorain County Community College." - Dr. Max J Lerner, founding president of LCCC (Thirty Years of Service, viii).
1964 letter from Martin V. McGill [American Chemical Society member, former Founder of the Lorain Institute of Arts and Sciences, and former Lorain High School teacher] to Dr. Lerner, addressing LCCC's founding. Letter references Ralph Holder and Carl Eversman, two other Directors of the Institute that later becomes the Lorain Institute of Technology and is later incorporated into Lorain County Community College.
