plisterf ©£ the ynitrei[§ife . UR college was opened in the fall of 1855 in Indianapolis, under the name of the Northwestern Christian University, a name which it carried until the year 1877, when, in recognition of the faithful service and large gift o f Ovid Butler, the Board of Directors wisely adopted the name which it now bears. The thirty-six years of its existence have been marked by a gradual extension of its courses of study, and an endeavor to keep pace with the constantly progressing ideas of education in our country. It will hardly be disputed that Butler University now ranks among the best colleges of the State. Like most of the great schools of the past, it had its origin with the church, and has been largely supported by The Disciples of Indiana. In 1841 the question of establishing a college was first publicly considered at a meeting of representatives of the Christian Church of the State. Such enterprises move slowly, however, and it was not until October, 1849, that Elijah Goodwin, previously appointed to learn the will of the Christian churches of the State, reported a large majority of them favorable to the project of establishing a university, and willing to aid in carrying it out. An organization was effected. A charter was drawn up, approved by the Legislature, and went into effect January, 1850. Elder John O ' Kane, soliciting agent, reported in 1852 subscriptions of stock amounting to $75,000. Id July of the same year the first Board of Directors convened in Indianapolis, and Ovid Butler was chosen chairman. A little later a site for campus and building was selected, and the west wing of a very large and imposing prospective building- was ordered to be erected. It was ready for occupancy by the spring of 1855. President Benton conducted a preparatory school in this building through the summer, and was Acting President of the college during its first session. In 1856 John Young, who had been Professor of Natural Sciences, was chosen the first regular President, which position he held for two years.
