This fact is known among the older resi- dents of the nortJL ahore and tto& voungcr generation who care for lo- ~cal history. Yet to the general pub- lic the wealth of historical material which can be evolved out of the found- ing and subsequent maintenance, of the institution, is unknown. The Garrett Biblical institute really owes its existence to the earnest plead- ings and solicitations of Rev. Peter R. Boirtn. pastor of the Clark Street Methodist Episcopal church in Chi- cago in 1839. He so deeply interested both Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Garrett that the latter, after the death other liusband, made known her intention of founding such an institution. Later, upon her death, a bequest of $300,000 was left the Garrett Biblical institute. Rose Rapidly. Like many other early day incidents in Illinois and the middle-west, the experiences and success of Augustus Garrett read like fiction. Mr. Garrett was an auctioneer. He was born and reared in New York. He came west and settled in Cincinnati, where he established himself in his profession as an auctioneer. He succeeded for a ilme in the staid old Ohio city but after meeting reverses there, left and earn* to Chicago.

With his wife he Chicago in 1853, and, learning that Rev.

The bishops were requested aimKird Tburch-at-ther old-First Pres hrterian church where the pastor, ftev. Jeremiah Porter, welcomed him. In a short time the acquaintanceship gained in the church helped the new- comer in a busienss way and he launched an auction plan for selling real estate. The venture was a suc- cess and in a few months the commis- sions of Auctioneer Garrett mounted /o thousands. Elected Mayor of Chicago. Following his commercial success, Mr Garrett was thrice elected mayor <,t Chicago and it was during his ad- miiiiMtrations that he began to mani- i f.st his interest in religious affairs. He was one of the first promoters of a "Blue Law on Sunday" in the western metropolis. The Rev. Peter R. Borein was repre- ss ntalive of-tbe type of ministers who h. Id pastorates in the 30's. He was pious and an eloquent speaker. . Yet lu- lacked educational training and ofi.n li.-plored this fact in talking with members of his congregation. In his emversation with Mr. Garrett on sev- ii ul occasions he impressed the need of a training school for students of ministry. It is said that Mr. and ■ Garrett often talked over «the i of founding such a school.

A meeting of the Methodist church offi- cials of Chicago was held immediate- ly and it was decided that sine* Mrs. Garrett ultimately intended endowing a Biblical institute, the churchmen would go ahead and erect a building for theJioueing of the institution. A committee composed of Orrington LtrnV-Grant Goodrich, Philo Judson, John Adams and John Clark was named to formulate the plans of the institute. Since Northwestern univer- sity was then being organized and Ev- anston considered as a site for that institution, it was decided to locate the Biblical school here. A building which accommodated fcrty students was erected in 1855. An annual revenue to maintain the school of $1,600 was pledged by the Chicago churchmen. The first term was opened in charge of Dr. John Demp- ster, D. D.; Rev.. William Goodfellow, A. M.. and Rev. William P. Wright, A. M. Mrs. Garrett participated in the .opening exercises. Only four students were enrolled at the beginning of the first term, but at ItJ close an even dozen were in the various classes. At the end of the second year twenty-three students were enrolled.

Immediate- ly the governing body or board of trus- counsel with the trustees. When the institute was first opened there was not, in the entire district between Chicago and Waukegan a sin- gle Protestant church. The need of evangelical work in the north shore villages which were then being formed was imminent and many of the stu- dents filled regular appointments each Sunday in these places. This evan- gelical work led to a missionary de- partment being included In the curri- culum in later years. The first building was an old frame structure. In a few years the growth of the institute was so rapid that the increased attendance made a large and more substantial building impera- tive. In 1867 Heck hall was built at! a cost of $57,000. For twenty years ■ this building, now used for dormitory purposes, served for lecture rooms, li-, brary, chapel, etc. When the present j Memorial hall was built in 1887, 4tev. Dr. Henry B. Ridgway was president.1 The Institute has deviated little. from its original ideal. It has met from time to time the demands of the period. In 1892 it enlarged its facili- j ties for the study of the English Bible instead 61' the diploma course offered in the stady of Hebrew. In 1895 a study of sociology was included. Con-i Uibutions to the library of the Insti- tution have made it one of the most complete reference libraries in the middle west. Many of the alumni of the institute have become missionaries while the majority have been ordained pastors in Methodist churches all over the United States.
