-- Why did Northwestern build its campus and a new town around it rather than locate in Chicago, where the University's founders first met?
-- Which 1855 amendment to the University's charter caused the most debate in the Illinois Legislature: to prohibit the sale of liquor within four miles of campus or to exempt Northwestern property from real estate taxes?
-- What was the relationship between Frances Willard, the first dean of women, and Henry Fowler, University president?
-- Why did NU students hang John D. Rockefeller in effigy during a protest rally in the 1930's?

Find out the answers to these questions, as well as a host of other wonderful stories in Northwestern University: Celebrating 150 Years, the new anecdotal history of Northwestern. Published in celebration of the university's sesquicentennial and filled with historical and contemporary photos, this full-color book chronicles Northwestern's fascinating history, from the effort to found "an institution of the highest order" through the rise of the modern university.
