VIEW BOOK -
OF THE
CITY OF CHAMPAIGNAND THE
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
BODAY men must gather in cities because these are times of centralization and special-
ization. But if a city is to be desirable for those who are to live in it, it must be a city
of the future as well as of the present ; it must be a city of prosperity and of progress,
of homes and of culutre aggressive, well-governed, and sanely progressive.
Such a city is Champaign, Illinois. It is situated in the heart of the richest agricultural
region of the world, in the granary of the Middle West. It is 1 28 miles south of Chicago,1 1 SI/? miles west of Indianapolis, and is within easy reach of a number of thriving towns.
Champaign is the larger of the Twin Cities, Urbana and Champaign, whose combined popu-lation is 25,000.
A CITY OF PARKS AND HOMESHAMPAIGN is a city of homes. From the small and secluded to the palatial and
magnificent, they all present a peaceful, prosperous, even a beautiful appearance; and
as the homes are, so are the 85 miles of streets, of which 25 miles are paved. The city
is lighted by a newly installed boulevard lighting system. Because it is a wise city of homes,

Champaign is also a city of trees and parks, whose three excellent public parks are supple-mented by the park-like campus of the great University of Illinois.
The prairie, God's glorious garden, surrounds the city. Well-cultivated farms and
orchards, streams and wood-patches, offer endless opportunities for recreation to those whobecome cramped in cities.
ABREAST OF THE TIMES. . .
,
HAMPAIGN is maintained in a thoroughly modern, sanitary way. Water, Gas, elec-
tric light, city heat and street car service are furnished by well-controlled companies.For drainage there is the powerful assistance of natural conditions, for Champaign is
located upon the ridge of a prominent water-shed. It has an efficient sewerage system andis furnished with an inexhaustible supply of excellent water. In all these things the city
has the great essentials furnished by a healthful environment, and they are supplemented by a
general cleanliness due to the strong civic pride of the community.
CULTURE AND EDUCATION .
HE social and cultural activity of the community is indicated by the fact that manysocial organizations flourish. Among them are numbered a thriving Country Club,
and all the important secret societies. Many of the latter own their homes and club
houses. Drama, concert, and other entertainment is furnished by the excellent companiesthat play in Chicago and in other large cities of the state. In addition, the University of Illi-
nois is constantly bringing in the most prominent intellectual people of the world of thought for
the benefit of the University community, and to the lectures and addresses of these great menthe people of Champaign are always welcome. The athletic activities of the university furnish
events of interest that can be duplicated in but few cities in the country. Champaign furnishes
entertainment and intellectual and social activity that cities of ten times its size cannot furnish.

THE UNIVERSITY AND THE SCHOOLS
NDEED, in matters of culture and education, Champaign is among the foremost cities
of the country. This proud distinction is due in part to the influence of the University
of Illinois, the third largest university in the United States in the number of students
enrolled who have had entrance preparation required by Standard American colleges. The
university, and its students and faculty expend annually a sum in excess of four million dollars
in the Twin Cities. But apart from the influence of the university, the traditional elertness
of the citizens of Champaign in all matters pertaining to the welfare and education of children
has built a public school system unsurpassed in Illinois. The grade schools are efficiently
superintended, large and comfortable, and well-distributed for the convenience of the children
in all parts of the city. There are 74 teachers, including special teachers of music, drawing,domestic arts, manual training, and commercial subjects; and in no city high schools in the land
has the child a better opportunity to become a trained, competent, useful man or woman. Thecitizens of Champaign have long believed in what is now hailed as a new theory, viz., that the
schools should conform to the needs of the people.
A CITY OF PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS
|
HE strong civic pride, the great interest in future welfare, are in a large part due to the
fact that a great part of the citizens own their homes. They are encouraged in
this by the liberal terms upon which loans are made by the local building and loan
associations, and by the six strong banks whose deposits amount to over $3,000,000, and whose
surplus is over $775,000. This liberality of local capital has been an important factor in the
general growth of business as well as in the upbuilding of the city. Values of real estate have
always been increasing, although the city has never been "boomed". The growth has alwaysbeen steady, sure, and healthy.
![Page 9: 917.7366 U35v - University Librarylibsysdigi.library.illinois.edu/oca/Books2007-09/viewbookofcityof00cham/...917.7366 U35v SamuelAbrams,comp.ViewBookofthe pCLtyofChampaignandtheUniversity](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022041611/5e37a0a6cc8e71759d6cc3d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A GOOD FACTORY LOCATIONESIDES being situated in the granary of the Middle West, Champaign is situated near
one of the great coal fields of the world. Coal is cheap. The water supply is con-
venient and accessible. The Illinois Central, the New York Central, the Wabash,and the rapidly growing Illinois Traction System furnish railroad accommodations that few
cities can equal. There are a number of large and thriving factories, but there have never been
any labor troubles. In short, Champaign furnishes a Promised Land for manufacturing enter-
prises of the Middle West.
A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY"
HAMPAIGN is aggressive, progressive, prosperous. It is the wealthiest city in one of
the wealthiest counties in the country. This wealth is due, in part, to the richness of
the soil and to the mineral deposits of the neighborhood, but it is principally due to the
industry, thrift, and progressive methods of the farmers and business men. Great as the possi-
bilities of the past were, those of the future are greater. Employment is offered by the manydepartments of the University, by the stores and offices of the city, and by the factories and rail-
road shops all of which pay good salaries to willing and efficient workers. Opportunities for
a living and for the advancement of the individual are plentiful and excellent. In Champaignno efficient and industrious man lacks opportunity for the use of his money or ability. Cham-
paign is a City of the Present and the City of the Future.
The Chamber of Commerce has published this View Book because of the pride it feels in the progressand beauty of the city, and .because it wishes to point out a growing modern city to those who contemplate movingto a city where the environment renders life more pleasant, and where opportunity renders labor and capitalmore profitable.

Hnifrersii^ of Illinois
N the midst of the Twin-Cities, adding dignity, character and attractiveness to the sur-
roundings, is the great State University of Illinois. The campus of 1 1 5 acres is now
nearly covered with some thirty-three large buildings. Immediately adjoining is a
farm of 640 acres that constitutes a great outdoor laboratory for the experiment station of the
Agricultural College. The value of the plant is estimated at something over $3,000,000.
The University includes the following colleges and schools: The Colleges of Litera-
ture and Arts, Science, Engineering, Agriculture, Law; the Schools of Music, Pharmacy,Education, School of Railway Engineering and Administration, Library School and Gradu-
ate School. Connected with the University and essentially a part of it are also the Agricul-tural Experiment Station, Engineering Experiment Station, State Laboratory of Natural
History, State Entomologist's Office, Military Science and Physical Training, State Water
Survey, State Geological Survey, and the Mine Rescue Station.
The new buildings just completed or in process of construction indicate the great
variety of work carried on by the University. Lincoln Hall for the College of Literature and
Arts, a Ceramics Building, Transportation Building, Mining Engineering Building, School of
Commerce Building, addition to Woman's Building, an Armory and Farmers' Convention
Hall, Stock Pavilion, Horticultural Greenhouses, and several new Barns for Dairy, Sheepand Horses.
Fine new fraternity and sorority houses provide excellent homes for students as do the
dormitories provided by several of the churches. The Y. M. C. A. has a fine building of its
own that is a center of great influence. The Y. W. C. A. will soon have a home of its own
immediately across the street from the University.
The University of Illinois is fortunate in the character of its men and women in its armyof loyal alumni and another army of 5000 students, in its faculty of over 600, and in its
capable Board of Trustees.
