Santa J. Ono, president of the University of Cincinnati, made some strikingly candid remarks at a mental-health fund-raising event on Saturday night, telling an audience that he had attempted suicide on two separate occasions, first in his teens and again in his late 20s. Mr. Ono spoke to about 200 people at the event, which was organized by 1N5, a group named to denote the one in five teenagers with mental-health conditions. Concerns about suicide, which permeate college campuses across the nation, have been particularly pronounced at Cincinnati, where a student hanged himself in 2014.
