historiCAL SKETCH

On 20 January 1820 an Indiana legislative act adopted the establishment of a state seminary, and a location in Bloomington was selected in July of that year.  Two years later construction began on the seminary building and professor’s house.  In 1823 Baynard Rush Hall was hired as the first professor to teach in the seminary.  Classes began in 1824 with an enrollment of ten men, although the construction of the seminary building was not completed until the following year.   

In 1828 the seminary was transformed into Indiana College.  Andrew Wylie became the college’s first president in 1829, and held that office until 1851.  In 1830 the college’s first class graduated.  Additional construction expanded the campus, and in 1838 it became known as Indiana University (IU).

In 1867 IU became one of the first state universities to admit women.  Sarah Parke Morrison was the first woman to graduate from the university, doing so in 1869.  In 1883 IU’s first Ph.D. was awarded to Charles Henry Gilbert.  In 1895 Marcellus Neal became IU’s first black graduate with an A.B. in mathematics. 

The state legislature recognized IU as “The University of the State” in 1852.  The first IU extension course was offered in Indianapolis in 1891.  IU now comprises eight campuses, including the residential campus at Bloomington, the urban campus at Indianapolis, and six regional campuses in Gary, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Richmond, and New Albany.  Eighty percent of Indiana residents are within an hour’s drive of an IU campus.

IU named its seventeenth president, Dr. Adam W. Herbert, on 1 August 2003.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

This collection is composed largely of black-and-white portraits of people associated with Indiana University – either as students, faculty, staff, or members of the Board of Trustees during the late 1800s.  The collection has been arranged into six series as detailed below.  There are some duplicate portraits contained in the albums that constitute series 3, 4, and 5.

Series 1, Board of Trustees Members:  This series consists of fourteen black-and-white copy photographs (copied 1940–41) of portraits (either photographs or paintings) of members of the Indiana University Board of Trustees who served between the years 1821 – 1915.

Series 2, Cabinet Card Portraits, 1889–1895:  This series is composed of sixty-two cabinet card portraits numbered 1–64 (numbers 61 and 62 are missing).  All are identified by name, and in many cases also by hometown.  Fraternity and sorority affiliations are sometimes noted.  One portrait is of David Starr Jordan, then president of Indiana University; the majority of the rest of the portraits are probably of students, with some possibly being of faculty members.

Series 3, Class of 1886, Album No. 1:  This series consists of one photograph album made to hold cabinet cards.  It contains sixteen cabinet card portraits and four other photographs.  Most of the portraits are identified, and are of students, faculty members, and a janitor.  In many cases the hometowns and fraternity and sorority affiliations of the students are provided, and subject areas of faculty members are also noted.   On the backs of some cards are written dates from the 1850s and 1860s; these are believed to be the birthdates of the people pictured rather than the dates of the photographs.  Inserted into the album is a commencement program from 9 June 1886.

Series 4, Class of 1886, Album No. 2:  This is another photograph album made to hold cabinet cards.  It contains fifteen identified cabinet card portraits, one unidentified carte-de-visite portrait, and four other photographs.  In many cases the hometowns and fraternity and sorority affiliations of the students are provided, and subject areas of faculty members are also noted.  On the backs of some cards are written dates from the 1860s; these are believed to be the birthdates of the people pictured rather than the dates of the photographs.

Series 5, Class of 1886, Album No. 3:  This photograph album holds thirty-seven cabinet card portraits, most of which are identified.  The portraits include students, faculty members, a janitor, and a child.  In many cases the hometowns of the students are provided, and subject areas of faculty members are also noted.   On the backs of some cards are written dates from the 1850s and 1860s; these are believed to be the birthdates of the people pictured rather than the dates of the photographs.  Found inserted into the album were a written page discussing some of the faculty members of that period, a poem, some newspaper clippings, and ephemeral items.

Series 6, Portraits of Unknown Affiliation with Indiana University:  This series consists of three black-and-white copy photographs (copied 1941) of portraits (either photographs or paintings) that were found with the photographs in Series 1, but are of men who do not appear to have been members of the Board of Trustees.
