iO BUTLER OFFERS AN EXPANDING s mk-ram The main building, Artliur Jordan Memorial Hall, consists of three separate buildings combined into one by towers. It contains class- rooms and laboratories, administrative offices, a library, and sub- station 6 of the Indianapolis Post Office. In 1848, a charter written by Ovid Butler estab- lished a local college of 25 acres at 13th Street and College Avenue. The university opened its doors as Northv estern Christian University in 1855. In 1877, the institution v as moved to Irvington. Two years later the name of the school was changed to Butler University in honor of Ovid Butler. By 1925 the university ' s growth necessitated its move to the present site of the Fairview campus at 46th and Sunset. Originally the university consisted of only the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, but the College of Religion, now the Christian Theological Seminary, the College of Education, the College of Business Administration, the University College, the College of Pharmacy, and the Jordan College of Music have been added. John Herron Art Insti- tute is also affiliated with the Butler University pro- gram. The College of Pharmacy building is located one hundred yards to the north of Jordan Hall. It contains class- rooms, laboratories, and offices. The John Whistler Atherton Center is located to the south of Jordan Hall. It contains the bookstore, the cafeteria, the Campus Club Grill, the organization meeting rooms, the lounges, and the recreational rooms.
