Indiana foresaw in its first corP stitution in 1816 its need for a statc school of higher learning; and tlius Indiana University had its beginning. It was not until four years later that this clause in the constitution became a reality; in that year an act of the General Assembly authorized the establishment of a State Seminary. A building to house the Seminary was constructed southwest of the present square by 1824, and in May of that year school was opened. Foundation Dav is recognized even now as the first Wed- nesday in May. Ten boys answered the roll on the opening day and the first professor, Rev. Baynard Hall, teaching Greek and Latin, conducted the classes. The name was changed to Indiana College in 1828 by the General Assembly, who also granted permission to award additional degrees. The first college building was completed eight years later, but was destroyed by fire in 1854. Indiana College became Indiana University on Feb. 15, 183 8.

Because of the lack of space for expansion the University was ordered moved in 1883. The new location, known as Dunn ' s Woods , is the site of the present campus, and during the next twelve years Wylie, Owen, Maxwell, and Kirkwood Halls were completed.
