Excerpt from Indiana University, 1820-1904: Historical Sketch; Development of the Course of Instruction; Bibliography The authorities of Indiana University, after mature deliberation, decided not to make an exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis - partly for lack of sufficient space, and partly because of the great expense necessary to make an adequate showing. Instead, it was determined to prepare a book which should set forth in permanent form, for those interested, the salient features of the history and present status of the University. Out of this determination arose the present volume. In the first of the three parts into which the book is divided, are set forth the chief facts in the external history of the institution, - its incorporation in the fourth year after the admission of Indiana as a State into the Union, and the steps by which it passed successively from a Seminary to a College, from a College to a University in name, and ultimately to a University in fact. In the second part the attempt has been made to trace the development of the course of instruction, from the condition presented in the first catalogue in 1831, to the curriculum as at present arranged. This development, it is believed, is typical especially for Western State Universities; and it is hoped that the careful study which is here presented, may prove a real contribution to the history of education in America. The third part of the book is given up to a list of publications by the Faculty, alumni, and students of the University. One test - though by no means the sole one - of the efficiency of a University, is afforded by the quality and quantity of the publications put forth by its members. From the data here presented, it is believed that a fairly correct idea may be formed of the character of the intellectual discipline which has been here imparted at different stages of the University's history.
