THE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, EVANSTON, ILl. ၃၃ HE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY was granted its charter by the General Assembly of the State of Illinois in January, 1851. The time ensuing between that date and November, 1855, was spent in gathering a financial basis for the undertaking. T The present site of Evanston, Illinois, was chosen as the site of the University, and a tract of land consisting of about 350 acres was purchased from Dr. J. H. Foster for its campus and landed endowment. In 1855, in an unpretentious structure on Davis Street, at the corner of Hinman Avenue, Evanston, the College of Liberal Arts was formally opened. From that date the University has had a continuous scholastic existence developing with the years through the conservatism and careful management of its trustees and the benevolence of its patrons until the present time, when the value of its property amounts to about five million dollars. The students under its instruction number between two and three thousand. Its Alumni are numbered by the thousand and its departments of instruction cover all forms of learning from the Academic grade to the Professional and Post-Graduate. Its campus contains about fifty acres on the lake shore, where are located its principal buildings and its Athletic Ground. Its charter restricts the sale of intoxicating liquors within the territory included within four miles of the University, thus protecting its students from some of the temptations incident to a University located within the bounds of a great city. The Garrett Biblical Institute is located on its campus, with its own charter and board of trustees, but is in close affiliation with the University. The Medical School is located on Dearborn Street, near 24th, with access to the great Hospitals of the South Side of Chicago. The School of Pharmacy is in the same region and is one of the best equipped and prosperous of its kind in the country. The Woman's Medical School is on Lincoln Street, Chicago, and in close connection with the hospitals of the West Side. The Northwestern University Dental School is located on Madison Street, corner of Franklin, in the City of Chicago, with an attendance in excess of any school of its kind, and with clinical facilities unsurpassed. The Northwestern University Law School is just being installed in its new quarters on the thirteenth and fourteenth floors of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion Building, with easy access to the Courts, with a large and growing library of its own, and within easy reach of the Gymnasium and other facilities of the Young Men's Christia i Association. The Institution is co-educational save in its Medical School, but provides especially for the Medical education of women in its Woman's Medical School. The women of the University at the College of Liberal Arts are accommodated in the capacious Woman's Hall and the College Cottages.

ROCKEFELLER The University of Chicago was founded in 1890 and opened its doors to students, October 1, 1892. During the seventh year of its history it enrolled more than twenty-five hundred students in its collegiate and graduate departments and two hundred in its preparatory school, thus taking its place among the largest institutions in the country. In the number of its graduate students, pursuing the most advanced courses of study, it surpassed all other universities in America. The University is located on the Midway Plaisance between Washington and Jackson Parks in the South Division of the City of Chicago. The campus comprises about thirty-five acres, having a frontage of eight hundred feet on the Plaisance, and extending north from Fifty-ninth to Fifty-sixth Street, a distance of over nineteen hundred feet, or threeeighths of a mile. On the first of January, 1899, about $2,000,000 had been expended in buildings and equipments on the University campus. In addition there were buildings at Morgan Park for the use of the preparatory school costing $140,000, and there had been expended in building and equipping the Yerkes Observatory at Lake Geneva, Wis., more than $300,000. The grounds of the institution at these places had an aggregate value of about $1,000,000. The endowments of the University, on the date above named, exceeded $5,000,000 The founder of the University had thus contributed to the institution more than $6,000,000, and made large additional subscriptions conditioned on the raising of equal amounts by the University on or before January 1st, 1900. Women are admitted to all departments and form about one-third of the students. Students are permitted to The University conducts its work throughout the entire year, there being four quarters of twelve weeks each, beginning July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1. enter at the beginning of any quarter, and take their vacation in any quarter. held at the opening of each quarter, and at each convocation classes are graduated. University extension is a distinct division of the work of the institution and more than $40,000 is annually expended in this department. The University of Chicago Press is also an important department of the University. The Journals are regularly issued under the editorial management of the different faculties. It is the purpose of the President, Dr. W. R. Harper, and the trustees, to add to the scope of the University, as soon as practicable, advanced schools of Law, Medicine and Engineering. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO CHCIAGO, ILL. WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY CLEVELAND, OHIO. WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY INCLUDES: Adelbert College (for Men), The Law School, The Dental School. THIS statement is designed to arouse rather than to satisfy the desire for information respecting Western Reserve University. The reader who wishes to receive full information regarding the University or any one of its Colleges is heartily invited to confer with its president, CHARLES F. THWING, D. D., LL. D. Hamilton College. F OUNDED 1793 as the "Hamiiton Oneida Academy," by the Rev. Samuel Kirkland, missionary and revolutionary chaplain. The first corner-stone was laid by Baron Steuben. The College was chartered in 1812. It has graduated 2,315 men, of whom 644 have become ministers, 530 lawyers, more than 300 teachers, 115 physicians, 76 editors, 35 Members of Congress and State Governors. It is beautifully placed upon a commanding hillside, one mile from the Ontario and Western station in Clinton, Oneida Co., New York, and ten miles southwest of Utica. Its campus of ninety acres is a rare spot. Its eleven buildings are ample for all their present uses. Its laboratories and library are excellent. Its classes number from forty to fifty men. It has a growing endowment of now $500,000. Its faculty numbers eighteen. Two courses are given, without and with Greek. The instruction is intensely personal-classes being divided into small sections. Rhetoric and Elocution, American History and Pedagogics, the Modern Languages, are of special excellence in its curricula: but the great value of the instruction is in its equity toward all the appropriate subjects of instruction and discipline. The specialty of the College is in developing effective men. The records of its representatives are its reference. A fine athletic field and good gymnasium promote the sane body. The climate is hearty and the health of the students is exceptionally good. It is a college favorable to personal economy. It is sufficiently retired to have few distractions-a clean and wholesome place in which to live and to work. From $400 to $500 a year should make a student comfortable and happy in Hamilton. A personal inspection is of all ways the best in order to understand the atmosphere and spirit and moral tone of a college. Correspondence is invited by the President. M. WOOLSEY STRYKER. Boston University Its Lead. Faculty. Students. Location. The Hall. Libraries. Courts. Legal Recreations. Law Department This was the first School in America to present a regular course of instruction in legal studies three years in length, and to require its completion in order to graduate. It was also the first to duplicate its own instruction, regularly teaching nearly every important subject in two different methods simultaneously, and by two different members of the staff of instruction. For many years the largest in any American School of Law. It numbers this year ten professors; twelve additional lecturers; and twelve additional instructors. Whole number, thirty-four. Over four hundred, including graduates of the strongest colleges in the United States. Graduates of the School are represented in nearly every State in the Union, some of them upon the Bench in the Courts of highest resort. At the time of the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, one of these graduates was a Judge in the Highest Court, one a Minister of Foreign Affairs, a third the Deputy Attorney General of the Republic, and the fourth its Chief Marshall. In the massive Rich Hall, Ashburton Place, midway in the short avenue of three hundred feet which connects the new Court House and the new State House. With its site Isaac Rich Hall cost over a quarter of a million dollars. It has been occupied but two years, and has every convenience adapted to its purpose. Beside the large working Library of the School, students have access, without expense, to the immense collections of the Boston Public Library, in a palatial building which alone cost two and a half millions of dollars. In the adjacent Court House there is daily opportunity for observing the organization and working of courts of every grade, and for listening to arguments of eminent counsel, rulings of judges, etc. The sessions of the State Legislature can also be attended with no loss of time. In the Law School building is what is believed to be the largest collection of portraits and likenesses of Legal Celebrities, American and foreign, to be found in this country. One of them, a portrait of the late Dean, costing over five thousaud dollars, was presented by the alumni. In their season amplest opportunity is found for wheeling, boating, bathsng, skating, horseback riding, etc. The city is full of places and buildings made sacred by associations with the beginnings of the nation's law and literature and life. Such places as Bunker Hill and Plymouth, Concord and Lexington, Duxbury and Salem are readily accessible by wheel or trolly; so that even odd hours and holidays may be made instructive, For Circulars of Information address THE DEAN OR SECRETARY, Boston University Law School, |
