History

History at a glance
Indiana Asbury University Incorporated 1837
Opened 1838
Type all-male
Type changed 1867
Type coeducational
DePauw University Renamed 1884

Indiana Asbury University was founded in 1837 in Greencastle, IN and was named after Francis Asbury, the first American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The people of Greencastle raised $25,000, a large sum at the time, to entice the Methodists to found the college in Greencastle, which was little more than a village at the time. It was originally established as an all men's school, but later admitted women starting in 1867. During 1884 Indiana Asbury University changed its name to DePauw University in honor of Washington C. DePauw, who made a sequence of substantial donations throughout the 1870s, which culminated in his largest single donation that established the School of Music during 1884. DePauw University's School of Music remains one of the oldest schools of music in the USA. Before his death in 1887, Mr. DePauw donated over $600,000 to the Indiana Asbury, which was an enormous and very generous sum at the time. Sigma Delta Chi, known today as The Society of Professional Journalists, was founded at the university in 1909 by a group of student journalists, including Eugene C. Pulliam.

Controversy

Main article: Delta Zeta#DePauw University Controversy

In 2006, the Delta Zeta sorority was reorganized after the national organization conducted a membership review, reducing 23 of the 35 current members (including the chapter president) to alumna status and giving them six weeks to vacate the sorority house. Of the 12 remaining members, 6 chose to take alumna status. There were also three girls who were off-campus that were never granted a membership review and 4 who left early because they did not like the tone of the meeting in September. Although the explanation given by Delta Zeta Nationals was that the decisions were based on commitment, the evicted members hold that they were forced to take alumna status because of their less than popular image on campus. Delta Zeta Nationals contends that the women could have challenged their alumna status recommendation, while the girls hold that they were explicitly told by Nationals representatives that the decision was final and they would be deactivated if they were to challenge anything.[3] On Monday, March 12, 2007, DePauw President Robert G. Bottoms announced that the University was beginning the process of severing ties with Delta Zeta's national organization, effective at the end of the 2006-7 academic year. Bottoms was quoted as saying, "I came to the conclusion that our approaches to these issues are just incompatible."[4] Delta Zeta (ΔΖ) is a college sorority founded on October 24, 1902, at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. ...

Monon Bell Classic

Voted "Indiana's Best College Sports Rivalry" by viewers of ESPN in 2005, DePauw University and Wabash College play each November -- in the last regular season football game of the year for both teams -- for the right to keep or reclaim the Monon Bell. The two teams first met in 1890. In 1932, the Monon Railroad donated its approximately 300-pound locomotive bell to be offered as the prize to the winning team each year. The series is as close as an historic rivalry can be: Wabash leads the all-time series 53-51-9; since the Monon Bell was introduced, DePauw has a 35-34-6 edge. The game routinely sells out (up to 11,000 seats, depending upon the venue and seating arrangement) and has been televised by ABC, ESPN2, and HDNet (where it will appear for the next three years, 2007-2010).
