About University of Indianapolis

According to Wikipedia, The University of Indianapolis was a consortium of colleges established in 1896 in Indianapolis, Indiana, with the goal to form "a great school commensurate with the city’s importance and including all departments of learning." It was founded by Butler University, the Medical College of Indiana, and the Indiana Law School, with the Indiana Dental College joining in 1904. Butler was renamed to Butler College and functioned as the school's undergraduate and liberal arts college. Each institution retained separate administration of its own school. Among the trustees were former United States president Benjamin Harrison and businessman Eli Lilly.
