The Trustees decided to open the college for classes in January 1847. The title of the college was the ttLiti erary and Theological Institute of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Far West.n It quickly became known, however, as Hillsbore Col- lege. What did students study at Hills- boro? What was called a ttclaseical education, - the liberal arts: litera- ture and language, especially Latin and Greek, philosophy and religion, history and geography, mathematics and natural science. One difference from today is that all students then followed the same, uniform course of studies. What has been taught and learned at the college has not changed substantially in a century and a quarter. Today the curriculum is larger, but Carthage has remained true to the original ideal of 131 years ago- 1:0 be a college of the liberal arts. ; From the first, the members of the college- President, professors, and students- joined g together in the regular worship of God. This aspect of the college as a Christian 3 community has remained always at the cere of its meaning. . Despite the good relations with the people of Hillsboro, prospects for the growth of the college there appeared limited. So, after five years there, the Trustees agreed to accept a renewed offer from civic leaders of Springfield to relocate the college in the capital city that gave greater promise for the future of the institution. During its location in the capital from 1852 to 1869, the college was known as Illinois State University.

Lutherans in Illinois began to plan the establishment of a college as early as the 18303. Illinois and the entire Mid- dle West were at one time part of the great frontier, the American West. Life was crude and difficult, almost beyond imagining. The Lutheran church in Illi- nois consisted of only a few, small, struggling congregations. Yet, despite all the many drawbacks, men of vision were determined to found a college on that frontier. The board considered two possible locations for the college, Hillsboro it- self, and Springfield. It decided on Hillsboro because the community of- fered the use- of a suitable building, then occupied by Hillsbom Academy.
