“Illinois State University (Springfield, Illinois)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Illinois State University of Springfield, Illinois is a former institution of higher learning which has no connection, other than coincidence of name, with the present Illinois State University located in Normal, Illinois.

The school was founded as The Academy in Hillsboro, Illinois in 1837, becoming Lutheran College in 1847.^[1] The college moved to Springfield in 1852, obtaining a new charter, receiving generous funding from the city residents, and changing the name to Illinois State University. Among the students at the institution during the period it was in Springfield were Robert Todd Lincoln and John Hay.^[2]^[3] Abraham Lincoln was briefly a member of the Board of Trustees.^[4]

The college relocated again in 1870, moving to Carthage, Illinois and assuming the present name of Carthage College. It remained in Carthage until 1964, when the school moved to its current campus in Kenosha, Wisconsin which had opened in 1962.^[5]
