In the summer ol' the following year. 1H44. acollege building was ereeted at the southeast corner of Indiana Street and Dearborn Avenue. on a lot donated to the new institution by some publieeniinded Citizens of the North Side. Here were held the tirst elinies. and as time passed. apparatus.

It was hoped at the time tnat the i'll1ll1f U would enable the Faeult ' to seeure more regular attendant-e of the students for the full term of sixteen weeks. 5 1 . and would enable them to take the praetieal courses also.
