North Park University was founded in Minneapolis in 1891 to provide basic education for Swedish immigrants and theological training for students entering the ministry. The school moved to the North Park community on the outskirts of Chicago in 1894. Since that time, the cornfields and cabbage patches in the area have given way to stores, bungalows, and apartment buildings, and the campus now covers 30 acres in a bustling urban neighborhood. The school has become an ethnically and racially diverse Christian university and seminary offering degrees in a wide range of disciplines and enrolling 3,300 students from across the country and around the world. It is one of the few evangelical Christian universities in the United States located in a major city.

Title: New Books Highlight North Park University History
Author: Staff Writer
Publisher: North Park University
Date: 5/15/2009

North Park University and Seminary alumnus John E. Peterson knows a little something about school spirit. A former University trustee and self-described "amateur historian," he has spent years amassing a collection of North Park memorabilia--from photographs, to yearbooks, to magazines. In fact, his affinity for his alma mater and love of its history inspired Peterson to help produce a book capturing North Park's rich 118-year legacy in pictures.

"There hasn't been a good history of North Park since 1941," says Peterson, who worked with Anne Jenner, the director of the University's F. M. Johnson Archives and Special Collections to create one. The finished product, North Park University, was released by Arcadia Publishing on May 11 as one of the latest installments in its Campus History series. The collection features dozens of schools, including large universities like Princeton and Georgetown as well as state universities and liberal arts colleges.

Another recent book, Chicago: Yesterday and Today (Publications International, Ltd., 2009), celebrates North Park University's place in city. It also highlights many of Chicago's historic neighborhoods and buildings, from the early days of the Fort Dearborn settlement to the opening of Millennium Park. Since the University's relocation to its current northside neighborhood more than a century ago, North Park has seen Chicago as a classroom, and all Chicagoans as teachers.

Chicago is currently only available in limited distribution, but orders for North Park University can be placed through the North Park bookstore, or by calling (773) 244-4570.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pictures/great history
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2009
This is a great, comprehensive pictoral history of North Park College/North Park University. If you went to North Park, you need this book. If you're interested in tertiary education in the United States, you should read this book, too. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise From North Park Alumna
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2009
As a graduate of the former junior college in 1954, I have only praise for the historical photographs that tell of changes to our beloved North Park University. I recommend this book to anyone who has had any interest in North Park.
