Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
For many years the residents of Southwestern Illinois lacked convenient, affordable access to higher education. To address this situation, Southern Illinois University opened residence centers at the former Shurtleff College in Alton and in East St. Louis in 1957. Enrollment at the two residence centers during 1957-1958 exceeded all expectations, and continued to increase dramatically. In 1960, Illinois voters approved a statewide Universities Bond Issue that included $25 million designated for an Edwardsville campus of SIU. Situated on 2,600 acres of Illinois hills northeast of St. Louis, and featuring buildings designed by architect Gyo Obata, the beautiful campus opened in September of 1965. Within five years, enrollment surpassed 13,000. Since 1957, SIUE has become the largest university in the St. Louis metropolitan area, and has produced more than 70,000 graduates. The university today offers 83 degree programs to students enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Business, Engineering, Dental Medicine, Nursing, and Education.

This book is designed to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the university's founding by documenting its history and development from 1969 to 2019"--

Retrospect at a Tenth Anniversary, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville
Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville now has as its main campus 2,600 acres of gently rolling Mississippi River bluff land in the heart of the Madison-St. Clair two-county area, commonly known as Metro East, the opening of which in 1965 this book seeks to commemorate. The book provides a view of the emergence of a major university in a 25-year period, 10 of these years on the Edwardsville campus. The more than 50 photographs chosen for this retrospective view complement the account of the educational philosophy, chief executives, faculty and curriculum, students and alumni of the University.
