UNIVERSITY.
All Institution of Historical Interest-The
poug,ns Monument. !.

Away back in 1855, Hon. Stephen A. Doug
las proposed to donate the site for a university
upon lands owned by him in Cottage Grove,
then somewhat south of the city of Chicago
proper. Rev. &c. Burroughs, then pastor of
the First Baptist church, negotiated with Mr..
Douglas, hoping TO secure the establishment
of the institution under the auspices of the
Baptist denomination, and an arrangement of
that character wa8 entered into, ten acres of
ground near Lake Michigan; fronting on Col
lege Grove avenue, being donated for the
purpose, ON the condition that a building to
cost not less than 100000 should be erected
thereon within a specified time Ample
pledges of money were obtained. and on July
q, 1857, the corner stone of Chicago university
was laid, addresses being made on the occa-
sion by Mr.. Douglas, Hon. !. N. Arnold and
several contempotaneous diyines of promi-
nence. The institution was formally opened

ing the first president, a position he held con
tinuously for fifteen years.

The war of the rebellion, the Chicago fire
and the panic of 1878 had the effect of render>
ing worthless a very large proportion of the
pledges made at the inception OF the enter
prise, and from these blows the university has
never rallied. u
DR.. Burroughs was succeeded in the presi-
dency by the Rev. Lemuel Moss, Hon.
Alonzo Ahernethy and Rev. Galusha Ander-
son, respectively. The latter gentleman made
heroic efforts to stem the tide of adversely,
by by personal solicitation but the vash was TOO
great, and he gave way. At this time the
property was laboring under an incumbrance
of $500, 900, and the Union Mutual Life In
surance company, who held the mortgage
was finally compelled to take possession of
the property. During the past few years
efforts at redemption Ia been put forth
anew, but the board of trustees have finally
decided to close the institution. 1t is thought
the property may be purchased and re-estab-
lished as an undenominational college,
though it is reported that the property will
be purchased by Archbishop Feehan and
turned into q Roman Catholic college.
And SO the vicissitudes of time-cival war,
a great fire in which S20o, 100000 of property
were destroyed in a night, and a financial
crash that Frustrated the business of the
country, have defeated the benefcent pur-
pose of the "Little Giant" and, like his own
