CITY DIRECTORY.
North-Western Christian University.
LOCATION.
This institution is located in Indianapolis, Indiana, about one mile and a half north-east of the Governor's Circle. The College cam- pus contains twenty-five acres, covered with primitive forest trees. Its seclusion from the city, its healthfulness and its forest beauties ren- der it one of the most desirable locations for such an institution of learning, in the West.
BUILDING.
The University edifice is of the most substantial and elegant col- legiate Gothic style. The part now finished is four stories high, facing south and east, about one hundred and five feet each way, and affords ample accommodations for about three hundred students. The walls are of stone and brick, put up under the supervision of Mr. Wm. Tinsley, architect.
HISTORY.
The act incorporating the North-western Christian University was obtained from the Legislature in 1850. It is formed on the joint stock principle. One hundred dollars constitutes a share, and the stock- holder is a preferred borrower of the endowment fund, to the amount of two-thirds of his stock, by making it secure, and paying interest thereon annually the first of May, at the rate of six per cent. The stockholders receive an annual interest on all their stock, ( which is paid or secured,) of six per cent., in tuition scrip, which is good for its face in the pay- ment of tuition fees in the institution.
The charter required that seventy-five thousand dollars of stock should be subscribed before the company could organize. This amount was ob- tained principally through the efficient agency of Eld. John O'Kane, by the spring of 1852, when the first board of directors was elected.
