9 3 9 04 GO ASA PACKER conceived the idea of a university in South Bethlehem in the Fall of 1 864 and a year later, on July 27, 1 865, he called the first meeting of the Board of Trustees at the Sun Inn, Bethlehem. Lehigh University became a definite project at that meeting when Asa Packer made the trustees a gift of $500,000 and 57 acres of land on South Mountain. On February 9, I 866, the Pennsylvania legislature incorporated the completed organization under the name of The Lehigh University. Forty men were admitted to the school on September 1 , 1866, with but a single building, Christmas Hall, and a faculty of five men. From this small group Lehigh has grown to an enrollment over 1800 and a faculty of 180 men. There are now 19 buildings, 180 acres of land and an endowment of $6,000,000. One has to sit back and wonder if Asa Packer ever dreamt that his idea would be fulfilled to the great extent that it has. AT BETHLEHEM, PENNSYLVANIA
