Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Beloit CollegeNorthern Illinois. These deliberations resulted in a unanimous judgment of a convention, which numbered Sixty-eight members, that a college for young men, and a female seminary of the highest order for young women, should be established, one in Wisconsin and the other in Illinois, near to the border line of the two states. The college was located at Beloit, Wis, the female seminary was subsequently located at Rockford, Ill. In October, 1845, the fourth convention adopted a. Form of charter, and elected a Board of Trustees, to whom was committed the 'charge of carrying forward the enterprise. Beloit was selected as the place for the college, because it was central and easy of access to the population of the two states, and because the people of that village had already evinced an interest in the work of education by Sustaining a seminary which offered facilities superior to any found elsewhere in the region.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
