! IS FT. WAYNE COLLEGE Historic Department BRIEF HISTORY OF TAYLOR UNIVERSITY Mrs. Mary 0. Shilling. The institution, now known as Taylor University, was founded at Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the year 1846, under the name of Fort Wayne Female College. The first president was the Hon J. A. C. Huessis, who served till 1848, when he was succeeded by C. R. Rounds. The Rev. H. C. Nutt became president in 184D. In 1850 Mr. Huessis came back and served until 1852, when he was succeeded by S. T. Gillette, who served but a few months. Then come the Rev. S. Brenton who was president from 1852 to 1855. The Rev. Robinson, D. D. was president from 1855 to 1872. The Rev. W. L. Yolum followed from 1875 to 1888. The Rev. H. N. Nerrick was presiding officer from 1888 to 1890. The institution was united with the Fort Wayne Collegiate Institute in 1852- At that time it was thrown open to both sexes. In 1890, dur- ing the presidency of Dr. C. B. Steman, its name was changed to Taylor University, in honor of Bishop William Taylor who prayed for the school three times a day. Thus did more than 13,000 prayers ascend to the Throne of Grace for Taylor University from the Great Knight of the Dark Continent. Bishop Tavlor reached the Throne himself, May 18, 1902.. The next president was the Rev. T. C. Reade, D.D., LL.D. On July 31, 1893 the institution was re-chartered and moved to its present location, Upland, Indiana. The first year the school was held in the emp- ty store rooms in the town while the buildings were in course of construc- tion. The people in town very kindly opened their homes to the students, some seventy in number. In the fall of 1895 the institution occupied the main building, Sam- uel Morris dormitory and some rooms in the new residences near the cam- pus at that time. The first office was where the Holmes ' grocery now stands. mmn j yj l iiniH™ IMUMWIII
