On December 28, 1981, a fifty ton boxcar donated to Chicago State University by Illinois Central Gulf Railroad was placed on campus. The boxcar, symbolic of the University ' s begin- ning, is to be converted into a museum which will house relics and treasures collected over the one hundred and fifteen years of CSU ' s ex- istence. On Wednesday, May 12, 1982, President Ben- jamin H. Alexander and the Chicago State Uni- versity Advisory Council held the dedication ceremony for the Chicago State University Box- car Museum. The event took place at the boxcar location north of the B Classroom Building. Alumni were invited to join with university faculty, staff, students and invited dignitaries to participate in this noon ceremony. They had an opportunity to view some of the memorabilia from the old campus which was located at 6800 S. Stewart. For a short time in 1867, Chicago State Uni- versity, then known as Normal Teacher Train- ing School, held classes in a leaky boxcar on the railyards in Blue Island while other ar- rangements were being made to accommodate the students. The Chicago State University Box- car Museum is representative of that exper- ience. r) Sister erone Cirmscheid, Campus Ministr -, Dorothy Whitney, Chicago Defender, Ronald S.
