| Title | Circular / Illinois Wesleyan University |
| Description | A broadside advertisement, printed early in 1851, "set forth the fact that the school is now in operation, the branches taught, terms of tuition, etc." It was probably written by the Reverend John S. Barger, perhaps the true father of the University, who was presiding elder of the Bloomington District of the Methodist Church and who had doggedly pushed the institution into being---through committees, through correspondence, through Conference, past political shoals and denominational splits. One thousand of these circulars were printed, exhorting the reader to consider the advantages of a college education at Illinois Wesleyan University. |
