Excerpt from The Diamond Jubilee History of Carthage College, 1870-1945 T the annual meeting of the Carthage College Historical Society several years ago, it was de cided that the Society would sponsor the publication of a history of Carthage College to appear in 1945, the year of the Diamond Jubilee. Due mainly to the untiring, painstaking labor of Mrs. C. B. Newcomer, acting as curator of the Society, the college has been privileged to have in its. Possession a considerable col lection of material bearing on the history of the school. The author has had access to this collection as well as to much other material, including the valuable books and documents once the property of the Illinois State University but now, thanks to the generous interest of Professor Easterday, the priceless possession of Carthage College. With the exception of a few miss ing college bulletins or catalogues and the Record of the Trustees from 1900 to 1916 which is missing, in itself a very serious omission, the official records of Carthage College appear to be complete and intact. Among the sources consulted were the surveys or statements, submitted at the author's request, by several of the former living presidents of the college. These contained their personal views, impressions and appraisals of the policies and activities of Carthage College during their respective administrations. Those who responded were Dr. E. F. Bartholomew, Dr. Holmes Dysinger, Dr. F. L. Sigmund, Dr. H. D. Hoover and Dr. N. J. Gould Wickey. For the valuable data received in this manner, the author feels himself much indebted to them.

The original Illinois State University was typical of colleges in the American antebellum period. Springfield's community boosters welcomed the new college as a civic adornment. Determined men of the cloth envisioned a prestigious institution like the one at which they learned the "artes liberals" and the Lutheran catechism. But turbulent times undermined their heroic efforts to sustain the school. The saga of ISU is a short arc from eager anticipation to bitter realization.
