1S60-61, there were fifty students en-
rolled, and the schools prosperity
and large service seemed assured.
The enrolment steadily increased and
by the year 1866 the needs OF over
one hundred students were such that
Prof. Kistler. then principal, made out

study. The school, however, though
now attaining an independent status,
still remained under the same roof

original old frame building, which for
years bore over its doorway the proud
title, Northwestern University" but
later the words, "The Preparatory"
and which Is now designated as old

the corner Of Davis street and Hinman
avenue, and was later moved up to

campus, and finally, scarcely five years
ago, was moved just a little farther
north to its present location on the
lake shore. For most Of Its lifetime
this school has borne the name Of
The Preparatory" but about ten
years ago it was re-christened The
Academy of Northwestern University,
though its old title still clings to it in
the somewhat undignifed, but affec-
