The fourth day of July, 1853, the committee X f ir l on site drove north on the Old Green Bay Road and returned enthusiastic in the praise of an oak grove 2 , on the bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan, just twelve miles north of Chicago. For 325,000 the oak Q, j l grove was purchased together with the surrounding land, 385 acres in all, and the place was called l Q Evanston. In the fall of 1855, with the building now known as t'Old College erected in a comparative 3 -Qi l . wilderness, the College of Liberal Arts was opened to students. The rapid growth which followed is li' l 1 well brought out by the enrollment during the past year of 1,250 students. The addition of the l - dormitory system for the men has proved a rebounding factor in the development of Northwestern's 30 Vi 1 unity as well as her strength. The recent gift of Harris Hall by Norman Watt Harris brings with it a Q i f il new and distinct department of Political Science and promises to be one of the most attractive buildings l if on the campus. - ll 1 ml? ily, l ,lla ll lj ' l l 1 f l 'Wil .51 pi , fail H nj, page twenty-ezglzt Jill, .ffl i li-,gl l lui QQA, 8 . - 16,11-.I ,.g,:,t.I 454' l C C ' -4 - .. ,rf M ' - ' r- rx -- .V f- 5 ' Y F ' ' Y 5 fit! 5 jg .-,, ' 'A ' 1 g Y fi . .

GATHTTIETT lfBlllfl3lLllCCAlb TNSTTTIUTIE CFozmdcd in 1855l 1 PRESIDENT CHARLES M. STEWART ARRETT BIBLICAL INSTITUTE is a theological seminary of the Methodist Episcopal Church F and is located on the campus of Northwestern University. It was founded and endowed by Eliza Garrett in 1855, and since that time has graduated nearly hfteen hundred students. Until the burning of Heck Hall, the dormitory of the Institute, during the winter of 1914, Garrett had occupied a central por- tion of the campus extending from Sheridan Road to the Lake. A transfer of properties between the two institutions has recently taken place and Garrett is looking forward to the erection of a new group of buildings on the strip of land between Lunt Library and the Patten Gymnasium. The plans are now being drawn by a nrm of prominent Chicago architects and it is hoped that the ground for the irst build- ings of the group may be broken in the early spring and that the buildings may be ready for occupancy next fall. The Institute has a library of nearly forty thousand bound volumes and a still larger number of unbound magazines and pamphlets. The Bennett Museum of Christian Archaeology, the largest dis- tinctively Christian archaeological museum in the country, occupies the second floor of the hreproof Library annex. Dr.Lynn Harold Hough of Baltimore, Maryland, and Dr. Harris Franklin Rall, former president of the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado, have recently been added to the faculty. 4 page twenty-vzine ll , ' 1 v for if if - Q
