JACKSON HALL IN THE BEGINNING, GOD 7 The past is filled with awesome memories of Northwestern. At the outset Dr. Riley, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Minnesota, was approached by seven enthusiastic people who desired a deeper knowledge of God ' s Word. They met daily for an hour of Bible study, and these sessions grew. Seven expanded quickly to thirty-five, and thirty- five grew until on October 2, 1902, the Northwestern Bible and Missionary property purchased was the Abraham Building, later known as 6 South or Fireside. The school continued to grow, and additional classroom space was necessary, so the property between 6 South and Harmon was purchased. The erection of Jackson Hall on this property in 1923 realized a long-c herished dream. From 1824 until 1948 Jackson Hall was a Canaan land for students. These students came to be nourished, trained, and challenged for Christian service. LORING PARK THE MOVE IS ON, MY LORD! The school prospered and reports of this work spread across the country. More and more people came to Northwestern for missionary training while the cry for evangeli¬ cal pastors prompted the addition of Northwestern Theological Seminary. Still another voice was heard--young people were seeking college training under Christian leader¬ ship. Dr. Riley, again, sought God’s leading, and the result was a College of Liberal Arts with a Christian faculty. Dr. Riley had seen the average American college pro¬ duce skeptics rather than believers; Education for Christian Leadership. The schools grew rapidly, and God gave Northwestern a beautiful new campus overlooking Loring Park in downtown Minneapolis. There, Memorial Hall was constructed and ded¬ icated. Before Dr, Riley passed away on December 5, 1947, he had the pleasure of seeing the construction of the Memorial Hall completed. The facilities continued to ex¬ pand and in 1961 construction of a new library began.
