It was stunning to visit the churches on the campus of Chicago University and Northwestern University. They were amazing displays of beauty. Each had the traditional church features, with high ceilings, large pipe organs and stained glass windows. I don't think that if these campuses we built brand new today they would place such value in worship areas.
The University of Chicago was founded in 1890 by the American Baptist Education society and oil magnet John D. Rockefeller. The land was donated by Marshall Fields.
Northwestern University had its start in 1850 under the patronage of the Methodist Episcopal church.
