Olivet College (Illinois) : ウィキペディア英語版
Olivet Nazarene University

Olivet Nazarene University (ONU) is a Christian liberal arts university located in the village of Bourbonnais, Illinois, United States. Named for Olivet, Illinois, ONU was originally established as a grammar school in east-central Illinois in 1907. It is affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene and is the annual site of the Church's "Regional Celebrate Life" youth gathering for the Central USA Region. It is one of the largest members of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.
==History==

Olivet Nazarene University traces its roots to 1907, when the Eastern Illinois Holiness Association started Miss Mary Nesbitt's grammar school in a house in Georgetown, Illinois. In 1908, the school's founders acquired 14 acres〔(''Called Unto Holiness'' Vol. 2 by Westlake Taylor Purkiser. Kansas City: Nazarene Publishing House, 1983. )〕 in the village of Olivet, and moved the grammar school to the proposed campus.〔(History at olivet.edu )〕 A Wesleyanholiness community sprang up around the school.〔("Why These Schools? Historical Perspectives on Nazarene Higher Education," by Stan Ingersol )〕
In 1909, the liberal arts college was chartered and named Illinois Holiness University, with A. M. Hills from Texas Holiness University as its first president.〔 It was then given to the Church of the Nazarene in 1912, with E. F. Walker as president, and inherited one of the most populated Nazarene regions in the United States.〔 It was renamed Olivet University in 1915,〔The History of ENC, written by James Cameron, references J.E.L. Moore leaving Eastern Nazarene College in 1919 to become "president of the Pentecostal Nazarene University at Olivet, Illinois." on p.142 and the (''Year Book of American Churches, 1921-1922'' edited by E.O. Watson, published by Hayworth Publishing Co. Washington D.C. ) cites the name as "Olivet University."〕 and again in 1921 to Olivet College.〔(''American universities and colleges: a dictionary of name changes'' by Alice H. Songe. Rowman & Littlefield (1978), p. 150 )〕
The economic solvency of the school became a problem in the 1920s, and the trustees were forced to declare bankruptcy in 1926. The school's treasurer, T. W. Willingham, purchased the school back at an auction and was elected president. In 1939, the main building on campus was destroyed by fire.〔 This prompted the school to look for a new location. Under President A.L. Parrott, the school moved in 1940, onto the previous campus of St. Viator's College.〔(History of the Village of Bourbonnais )〕 With the move, the school's name was changed to Olivet Nazarene College (ONC).〔 The school's name was changed again in 1986 to Olivet Nazarene University (ONU).〔
The past twenty years have been marked by a massive change in the culture and image of Olivet. Following the appointment of John C. Bowling as University president, the university began appealing to a more diverse set of students from different Christian denominations. The school began several different construction projects to mark the growth of the school as a whole. The university has also recently subdivided itself into one college and four schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Education, School of Professional Studies, School of Theology and Christian Ministry, and the School of Graduate and Continuing Studies.
