| History |
|
German Lutherans founded Carthage in 1847 in Hillsboro, Illinois as The Literary and Theological Institute of the Lutheran Church of the Far West. In 1852 the college moved to Springfield, Illinois and operated under the name Illinois State University. However, the college closed in 1869 due to budgetary reasons. In 1870 the college was reopened as Carthage College in Carthage, Illinois. Due to dwindling enrollment numbers during the 1950s, Carthage decided to open another campus in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 1962, intending to eventually relocate the college there. The Wisconsin and Illinois campuses ran simultaneously until 1964, when the Illinois campus closed its doors and the college and its old traditions were moved to Wisconsin. This was the cause of much discontent among students at the Illinois campus who were long under the impression that the Illinois and Wisconsin campuses would both be operated by Carthage.
However, in recent years, it has become apparent that this move in effect revitalized the institution.
In the last five years, a new state of the art library (Hedberg Library) and athletic center (Tarble Athletic and Recreation Center) have been opened, and the campus welcomed a renovation of the old library which turned it into the Clausen Center for World Business. In the coming years, Carthage plans to open a new residential village near Lake Michigan which will provide additional student housing with impeccable views of Lake Michigan and semi-private rooms.
