It was contrary to the rules for the young men and coeds to meet except when chaperoned by professors.

This factor was conducive to school spirit and a spirit of solidarity among the students that exists yet in that small band of early alumni. Over fifty years of tradition and sentiment were left in Irvington when, in 1928, Butler moved again — this time to Jordan Hall in Fairview, the site chosen for her third campus because of the natural beauties and the advanages it offered for the future development of the college. Butler has been considered a university during most of its existence. At pres- ent there are the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Religion, and the College of Education. In addition the university is affiliated with the Jordan Conser- vatory of Music, and the John Herron Art Institute. The College of Education, until last year the Teachers College of Indianap- olis, was organized by Mrs. Eliza A. Blaker who, in 1882, had become super- intendent of the kindergartens established by the Free Kindergarten and Chil- dren ' s Aid Society. Mrs. Blaker, realizing that the best results could not be attained through a volunteer corps of teachers, opened a training school for kindergarten teachers, the nucleus of the Teachers ' College. Under her presi- dency the school grew from this small beginning to one whose graduates num- ber over four thousand. Mrs. Blaker died on December 4, 1926, and some years later her College was affiliated with Butler, carrying out plans instigated by Mrs. Blaker before her death.
