FOREWORD
To THE Alumni of the University of Illinois, Greeting!
Friends: With this first official record of the Alumni of the departments
of the University of Illinois at Urbana, I wish to send a word of cordial
greeting and congratulation. You will receive from an examination of this
volume a new idea, I am sure, of the growing importance of your Alma
Mater. You must recognize that you are children of no mean mother. Her
family is increasing in size with marvelous rapidity.
The total registration for the past year in all departments, including the
Academy, was 4,074 — truly a goodly array as far as numbers go. I believe
the quality is good also, and with all due respect to those of you who have
been out of college twenty years or more, I think it is steadily improving.
Your children, whom you are now beginning to send to IlHnois in increasing
numbers, are a considerable improvement upon their parents! — for which
I am certain you are thankful as well as the rest of us.
Friends, this is a great heritage into which you have come — member-
ship in the University of Illinois. You ought to become prouder of it every
day. This institution is destined, I believe, not only to be the greatest of
American State Universities, but to be generally recognized as such the
world over, and when that time comes, it will have become one of the great-
est foundations for higher education known in history,
Illinois will be linked with Oxford and Cambridge and Berlin and Paris
and Harvard and Yale as one of the holy places in the history of the human
spirit. The men and women who have laid these broad foundations on
which we are rearing this superstructure have done a noble work. They
deserve our loving respect. We can pay to their memory no better tribute
than to dedicate ourselves anew to the great undertaking they began.
Will you not each and all help us in realizing the magnificent ideal of a
university which fired the imagination and stirred the heart of that prince of
men. Dr. J. M. Gregory, and which was taken up and converted into reality at
such a marvelous rate by his successors. Dr. Peabody and Dr. Draper, and the
great host of their assistants in the Faculty and among the people of Illinois.
The University of Illinois is already great in size — not even a hostile
critic could deny that. Let us make it as great in quality and so indisput-
ably so that all men will realize and acknowledge it.
In this forward movement, the Alumni of the University can be of great
help. It is necessary to plant in the public mind a higher conception of
what a university is and may be; to develop in the public heart a more
earnest desire to realize this conception here in Illinois; and to stir the public
will to a clearer determination to have this ideal become real within our day
and generation.
If each and every Alumnus will join actively in the work of public
education on this subject, you will be able to see still greater things in your
day than any which have come to pass.
With cordial esteem,
Edmund J. James.

ANNALS OF THE UNIVERSITY
1862
An act donating public lands, on the ratio of 30,000 acres for each Sena-
tor and Representative, to the states and territories which would provide
colleges for the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts was passed by
Congress, and approved on July 2, 1862. Under this grant Illinois would
receive property to the value of $600,000.00 (480,000 acres) the interest on
which was to be applied for these purposes. The grant must be accepted and
applied to its uses before July, 1867, or it would revert to the government.
1863
The Legislature of Illinois accepted the grant Feb. 14, 1863, and discussed
the matter for some time without being able to come to any agreement on
the details of the proposed college or on its location. Some wished to divide
the money up among the existing colleges, provided they establish schools of
this nature : some to establish a school to teach Agriculture and the Mechanic
Arts ; and some to attach a new school to the Normal University.
1864
At the State Fair held in Decatur in 1864, a committee was appointed by
the State Agricultural Society to take the matter up and present some defi-
nite plan to the Legislature. This Committee was composed of Wm. H. Van
Epps, Prof. J. B. Turner, A. B. McConnell, B. G. Roots, and John P. Rey-
nolds. They drew up a bill as an expression of the views of the farmers, and
presented it to the Legislature in 1865, and again in 1867.
1866
State meeting of all those interested in the organization of the proposed
Industrial University held at Bloomington. Meeting recommended that
the state build only one university.
Sept. 21 — Notice was published of an informal election to be held in
Champaign county on Oct. 10, by order of the board of Supervisors. The
voters were to decide whether or not the county should appropriate $100,-
000.00 worth of Champaign county bonds "to secure the location of the
Illinois Industrial L^niversity in this county."
Oct. 5 — Proposition of Champaign and Urbana was to purchase the build-
ing then standing, called "The Urbana and Champaign Institute Building,"
with the eight acres on which it stood at a cost of $30,000.00, then use the
other $70,000.00 to buy more land and secure the location of the University
over the other contestants — Bloomington, Jacksonville, and other towns had
made offers. The Champaign papers said that they could thus give this
building, 1,000 acres for a farm, 100 acres for a "garden-patch" and still
have $40,000.00 left.
The building was erected in 1861, supposedly at a cost of $175,000.00,
and was said to be "one of the largest and most substantial buildings in the
State, second only to the Normal University." It stood at the north end
of what is now Illinois Field, facing University Avenue. The Main part of
structure was 125 feet front, forty feet in depth, and five stories high. From
the center projected a wing forty-four by seventy feet, four stories high. It
contained ninety dormitories, each ten by fifteen, "suitable rooms for prin-
cipals, professors, etc." and "accomodations for 800 students."
Oct. 12 — Returns of the election on the question of the bond issue show
the vote to have been; For, 1,601; agianst, 1,035 — majority for 566.
"Urbana and Champaign were unanimously in favor of the measure. A
considerable opposition was manifested in some of the country towns, how-
ever. " This opposition was due to the fact that the smaller towns regarded the
whole thing as a scheme on the part of Urbana and Champaign to make the en-
tire county pay for a school which would benefit these two communities only.
viii University of Illinois
1867
Jan. 10 — Mr. Tincher (Senator from the Seventh District) introduced
into the Senate a bill for "an act to provide for the organization, endowment,
and maintenance of the Illinois Industrial University." This bill provided,
among other things, that the Institution should be located at Champaign.
At the same date Senator Fuller (Twenty-third district) introduced a bill
similar to Mr. Tincher's except that it provided for the location of the
University by a commission to be appointed by the Governor. These two
bills were read twice and ordered printed. Jan. 1 1 — Both bills in the House
were introduced, the Champaign bill being offered by Mr. Griggs from that
district. The Senate at this time voted that the entire grant should be ap-
plied to one institution. Jan. 25 — The Governor approved a bill giving any
county, city, township, or incorporated town authority to levy taxes or vol-
untary subscriptions for the purpose of securing the location of the University.
Feb. 1 — Mr. Tincher moved to amend the Fuller Bill by striking out
the section providing for a committee to locate the college. This amend-
ment was carried by a vote of fifteen to nine. Feb. 22 — House Bill
amended by adding to the offer contained (the Institute property) therein
(as requirements for the location) 810 acres of land, S50,000!00 worth
of freight (appropriated by the Illinois Central), 5100,000.00 in Cham-
paign County Bonds, and S2,000.00 in fruit, shade and ornamental trees
and shrubbery from Dunlap's nursery, making a total of 8450,000.00 esti-
mated valuation of property. This bill as amended passed the House on
the same day. Its provisions were that the institution should be located in
Urbana The trustees were to be appointed by the Governor, with approval
of the Senate, five from each grand judicial division, and one from each con-
gressional district. They were to ser\'e for six years, without salary, the first
appointment to draw lots, one-third to serve two, one-third four, and one-
third six years. The trustees were to elect a Regent to serve two years, a
Treasurer, and a Recording Secretary, and were to provide buildings, teach-
ers, etc. Students were to be at least fifteen years old. Each county was
entitled to a scholarship for descendants of soldiers and seamen. \o degrees
were to be conferred on graduates. The Regent, with the Governor, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction and the President of the State Agri-
cultural Society were to be cx-ofpcio members of the Board. The instructors
were ' ' to teach in the most thorough manner such branches of learning as
are related to Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts and Military Tactics, with-
out excluding other scientific and classical studies." The college year was
to extend through six autumn and winter months so the students could go
home for the six spring and summer months or stay at the University and
pursue optional studies "provided that no student shall at any time be al-
lowed to remain in or about the University in idleness, or without full
mental or industrial occupation." This Act passed the House by a vote of
sixty-six to ten, the Senate by eighteen to seven, and was approved Feb. 28,
1867. The immediate result was a huge celebration in Champaign.
