Charles Klauder 's Gothic Revival skyscraper on the University of Pittsburgh 's campus, the Cathedral of Learning (1926) exhibited Gothic stylings both inside and out, while using modern technologies to make the building taller. Carpenter Gothic houses and small churches became common in North America and other places in the late 19th century. These structures adapted Gothic elements such as pointed arches, steep gables, and towers to traditional American light-frame construction . The invention of

10440-534: The church was located at Meridian and New York Streets.) The church also continued to support the hospital through financial gifts. Several of its members have served as trustees of the hospital. Foreign missions have been an important aspect of the church's ministry. In the past the congregation has supported missions to several countries in Africa , as well as Indonesia , Bolivia , South Korea , and China . In addition, it has supported mission trips to aid communities in

10585-484: The city expanded in the 1970s and 1980s. New and even larger congregations moved to new facilities north of downtown Indianapolis and surpassed the Meridian Street Methodist Church's membership in the 1990s. Men have dominated the mostly all-white congregation's decision-making authority since the early years of its history. Very few women held leadership positions in the church prior to the merger with

10730-460: The city expanded. Notable members of the congregation include former U.S. Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks ; Albert J. Beveridge , a two-term U.S. senator and Pulitzer Prize -winning author; James F. Hanly , a former Indiana governor and U.S. congressman ; Mary Stewart Carey, founder of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis ; Calvin Fletcher , an early Indianapolis citizen who helped found

10875-553: The city's Methodist congregation exceeded 600 members, it divided into two smaller groups, a western and an eastern charge, using Meridian Street, a major north-south thoroughfare, as a boundary line for the new congregations. The western charge, which eventually became the Meridian Street United Methodist Church congregation, remained at its chapel on the Circle. The eastern charge, which was named Roberts Chapel and later known as Roberts Park Church, relocated to

11020-453: The city's public school system; and industrialists and philanthropists James I. Holcomb and Herman C. Krannert . The Meridian Street United Methodist Church originated from the first Methodist congregation in Indianapolis , Indiana .

11165-604: The college would sever its ties with Delta Zeta's national organization, effective at the end of the 2006–2007 academic year. The DePauw Tigers compete in the NCAA Division III North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC). Every year since 1890, DePauw University has competed in American football against its rival Wabash College in what has become the Monon Bell Classic. The traveling trophy,

11310-512: The congregation until 1947. Its front facade had three oak doors beneath a large, stained-glass window. The building also included two 95-foot (29 m) towers with spires and had five stained-glass windows on each of the sanctuary’s north and south walls. The church's pipe organ contained 1,572 pipes. The congregation's last service at the Meridian and Saint Clair Street site was held on December 7, 1947. The church building, which still stands,

11455-746: The construction of a new Foreign Office in Whitehall saw the decision to award first place to a Gothic design by George Gilbert Scott overturned by the Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston , who successfully demanded a building in the Italianate style. In England, the Church of England was undergoing a revival of Anglo-Catholic and ritualist ideology in the form of the Oxford Movement , and it became desirable to build large numbers of new churches to cater for

11600-470: The construction of large numbers of Gothic Revival buildings. William Wardell (1823–1899) was among the country's most prolific architects; born and trained in England, after emigrating his most notable Australian designs include St Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne and St John's College and St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney. In common with many other 19th century architects, Wardell could deploy different styles at

11745-493: The cornerstone was laid for the school's first building and served as university trustees. Over the years the Meridian Street Methodists continued to contribute to the university's endowment. The church was also involved in forming Indianapolis's Methodist Hospital . On October 10, 1899, an organizational meeting of Methodist Hospital's board of trustees was held at the Meridian Street Methodist Church. (At that time

11890-505: The domestic Gothic style architecture which preceded it seem primitive and old-fashioned". There are many examples of Gothic Revival architecture in Canada . The first major structure was Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec , which was designed in 1824. The capital, Ottawa, Ontario , was predominantly a 19th-century creation in the Gothic Revival style. The Parliament Hill buildings were

12035-475: The earliest days of the revival. In some cases, cast iron enabled something like a perfection of medieval design. It was only with Ruskin and the archaeological Gothic's demand for historical truth that iron, whether it was visible or not, was deemed improper for a Gothic building. Ultimately, the utility of iron won out: "substituting a cast iron shaft for a granite, marble or stone column is not bad, but one must agree that it cannot be considered as an innovation, as

12180-515: The eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries saw in England a reaction in the high church movement which sought to emphasise the continuity between the established church and the pre- Reformation Catholic church. Architecture, in the form of the Gothic Revival, became one of the main weapons in the high church's armoury. The Gothic Revival was also paralleled and supported by " medievalism ", which had its roots in antiquarian concerns with survivals and curiosities. As " industrialisation " progressed,

12325-482: The estimated cost, at just under one million dollars, together with the sheer scale of the plans, thoroughly alarmed the College Trustees and only one-sixth of the plan was executed, the present Long Walk , with Francis H. Kimball acting as local, supervising, architect, and Frederick Law Olmsted laying out the grounds. Hitchcock considers the result, "perhaps the most satisfactory of all of [Burges's] works and

12470-480: The fabric of the church. St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Troy, New York, was constructed in 1827–1828 as an exact copy of Town's design for Trinity Church, New Haven, but using local stone; due to changes in the original, St. Paul's is closer to Town's original design than Trinity itself. In the 1830s, architects began to copy specific English Gothic and Gothic Revival Churches, and these "'mature Gothic Revival' buildings made

12615-570: The first Greek-letter fraternity for women soon followed. Just under 70% of students at DePauw are affiliated with a Greek-letter organization. The Greek community consists of more than a dozen national social fraternities and approximately ten sororities. Some Greek-letter organizations were founded at DePauw. In 2014, DePauw University was again ranked #1 in Greek Life by the Princeton Review . U.S. News & World Report ranked DePauw #3 in

12760-579: The first floor. The Wesley Chapel congregation remained on the Circle until it sold its chapel at public action to the Indianapolis Sentinel in 1868 for $ 28,000. The former church became known as the Waverly Building; it was demolished in 1922. Later, the site was developed for other commercial purposes. After the Wesley Chapel congregation left its facility on the Circle in 1869, it purchased

12905-664: The first time in school history. Most notably in 2021, the DePauw softball team finished third at the NCAA Division III Softball Championship. The DePauw University Institute of Music presents regular recitals by students and faculty and concerts by visiting artists, most of which are free and open to the public. DePauw students also organize concerts for the campus community. Performers in recent years have included Dave Matthews , Train , The Black Eyed Peas , Ben Folds , Rufus Wainwright , and Guster . Past guests have included Billy Joel , Smokey Robinson and

13050-543: The free flow of information vital to a well-informed citizenry; works to inspire and educate the next generation of journalists; and protects First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and press. In 2012, SPJ returned to the DePauw campus with the assistance of Eugene S. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism Mark Tatge " Since 1919, the Rector Scholar Program has recognized DePauw students of exceptional scholarship and character. To be named

13195-402: The growing population, and cemeteries for their hygienic burials. This found ready exponents in the universities, where the ecclesiological movement was forming. Its proponents believed that Gothic was the only style appropriate for a parish church, and favoured a particular era of Gothic architecture – the " decorated ". The Cambridge Camden Society , through its journal The Ecclesiologist ,

13340-684: The incorporation of turrets. The architectural historian John Gifford writes that the castellations were the "symbolic assertion of the still quasi-feudal power [the duke] exercised over the inhabitants within his heritable jurisdictions". Most buildings were still largely in the established Palladian style, but some houses incorporated external features of the Scots baronial style. Robert Adam's houses in this style include Mellerstain and Wedderburn in Berwickshire and Seton Castle in East Lothian, but it

13485-447: The introduction of a new principle. Replacing a stone or wooden lintel by an iron breastsummer is very good". He strongly opposed illusion, however: reacting against the casing of a cast iron pillar in stone, he wrote; "il faut que la pierre paraisse bien être de la pierre; le fer, du fer; le bois, du bois" (stone must appear to be stone; iron, iron; wood, wood). The arguments against modern construction materials began to collapse in

13630-518: 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. The game routinely sells out (up to 11,000 seats, depending upon the venue. The Boulder Run has become a tradition at DePauw University. Students, streaking from their respective residences, run to and from the Columbia Boulder, located in the center of

13775-399: The late 17th and 18th centuries, where Baroque dominated, some architects used elements of the Gothic style. The most important example is Jan Santini Aichel , whose Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk in Žďár nad Sázavou , Czech Republic, represents a peculiar and creative synthesis of Baroque and Gothic. An example of another and less striking use of the Gothic style in the time is

13920-534: The later 17th century, as shown in Oxford and Cambridge , where some additions and repairs to Gothic buildings were considered to be more in keeping with the style of the original structures than contemporary Baroque . In contrast, Dromore Cathedral , built in 1660/1661, immediately after the end of the Protectorate , revived Early English forms, demonstrating the restitution of the monarchy and claiming Ireland for

14065-447: The later 20th century rehabilitation of Victorian architecture and the objects with which they decorated their buildings. In 1847, eight thousand British crown coins were minted in proof condition with the design using an ornate reverse in keeping with the revived style. Considered by collectors to be particularly beautiful, they are known as 'Gothic crowns'. The design was repeated in 1853, again in proof. A similar two shilling coin,

14210-402: The link between Gothic and Catholicism looked to adopt it solely for its aesthetic romantic qualities, to combine it with other styles, or look to northern European Brick Gothic for a more plain appearance; or in some instances all three of these, as at the non-denominational Abney Park Cemetery in east London, designed by William Hosking FSA in 1840. France had lagged slightly in entering

14355-659: The mid-19th and early 20th centuries. The importance of the Cologne completion project in German-speaking lands has been explored by Michael J. Lewis, "The Politics of the German Gothic Revival: August Reichensperger" . Reichensperger was himself in no doubt as to the cathedral's central position in Germanic culture; "Cologne Cathedral is German to the core, it is a national monument in the fullest sense of

14500-757: The mid-19th century as great prefabricated structures such as the glass and iron Crystal Palace and the glazed courtyard of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History were erected, which appeared to embody Gothic principles. Between 1863 and 1872 Viollet-le-Duc published his Entretiens sur l'architecture , a set of daring designs for buildings that combined iron and masonry. Though these projects were never realised, they influenced several generations of designers and architects, notably Antoni Gaudí in Spain and, in England, Benjamin Bucknall , Viollet's foremost English follower and translator, whose masterpiece

14645-605: The most famous. During the Bourbon Restoration in France (1814–1830) and the Louis-Philippe period (1830–1848), Gothic Revival motifs start to appear, together with revivals of the Renaissance and of Rococo . During these two periods, the vogue for medieval things led craftsmen to adopt Gothic decorative motifs in their work, such as bell turrets , lancet arches, trefoils , Gothic tracery and rose windows . This style

14790-458: The nation for the highest percentage of male students belonging to fraternities and #4 in the nation for the highest percentage of female students in sororities. In 2006, the national organization of the Delta Zeta sorority reorganized the DePauw chapter, reducing twenty-three of its thirty-five current members (including the chapter president) to alumna status and giving them six weeks to vacate

14935-450: The nation, if it is possible, love for the national architecture", implying that "Gothic" is France's national heritage. In Germany, with the completion of Cologne Cathedral in the 1880s, at the time its summit was the world's tallest building, the cathedral was seen as the height of Gothic architecture. Other major completions of Gothic cathedrals were of Regensburger Dom (with twin spires completed from 1869 to 1872), Ulm Münster (with

15080-457: The nave and aisles of the church of St Nicholas at Alcester were rebuilt by Edward and Thomas Woodward, the exterior in Gothic forms but with a Neoclassical interior. At the same time, 1722–1746, Nicholas Hawksmoor added the west towers to Westminster Abbey , which made him a pioneer of Gothic Revival completions of medieval buildings, which from the late 19th century were increasingly disapproved of, although work in this style continued into

15225-617: The neo-Gothic scene, but produced a major figure in the revival in Eugène Viollet-le-Duc . As well as a powerful and influential theorist, Viollet-le-Duc was a leading architect whose genius lay in restoration. He believed in restoring buildings to a state of completion that they would not have known even when they were first built, theories he applied to his restorations of the walled city of Carcassonne , and to Notre-Dame and Sainte Chapelle in Paris. In this respect he differed from his English counterpart Ruskin, as he often replaced

15370-632: The next century. In Contrasts: or, a Parallel between the Noble Edifices of the Middle Ages, and similar Buildings of the Present Day (1836), Pugin expressed his admiration not only for medieval art but for the whole medieval ethos, suggesting that Gothic architecture was the product of a purer society. In The True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture (1841), he set out his "two great rules of design: 1st, that there should be no features about

15515-495: The parlor was restricted to women's group meetings and receptions, including the church's Women's Society for Christian Service group. In addition to its religious ministry, church leaders and members of the Meridian Street congregation were involved in the organization of Indiana Asbury University (renamed DePauw University in 1884) in Greencastle, Indiana . Several of its ministers and congregational members were present when

15660-583: The preeminent example, of which the original library survives today (after the rest was destroyed by fire in 1916). Their example was followed elsewhere in the city and outlying areas, showing how popular the Gothic Revival movement had become. Other examples of Canadian Gothic Revival architecture in Ottawa are the Victoria Memorial Museum , (1905–1908), the Royal Canadian Mint , (1905–1908), and

15805-445: The present-day Meridian Street United Methodist Church, which is located at 5500 North Meridian Street. The cost to construct the church in 1950 was $ 909,364. Donations to the church's building campaign and a mortgage paid for its construction. Its cornerstone was laid on September 17, 1950; the first service was held in the new building on June 29, 1952. In 1968 the church was renamed the Meridian Street United Methodist Church following

15950-541: The principles of sound construction can be so well carried out". The illustrated catalogue for the Great Exhibition of 1851 is replete with Gothic detail, from lacemaking and carpet designs to heavy machinery. Nikolaus Pevsner's volume on the exhibits at the Great Exhibition, High Victorian Design published in 1951, was an important contribution to the academic study of Victorian taste and an early indicator of

16095-472: The religious needs of the congregation, in addition to conducting numerous fund-raising projects to benefit the church and its various missions. The congregation formed in 1821–22 with 50 initial members; later that decade the Indianapolis Journal reported the church's membership had reached 93. By 1829 its membership had grown to 300. In 1842, when the city's Methodists was divided into two groups,

16240-480: The result, although he supported many architects, such as Thomas Newenham Deane and Benjamin Woodward , and was reputed to have designed some of the corbel decorations for that pair's Oxford University Museum of Natural History . A major clash between the Gothic and Classical styles in relation to governmental offices occurred less than a decade after the publication of The Stones of Venice . A public competition for

16385-472: The sanctuary contains a dining hall. The church's pipe organ is made by Casavant Frères of Canada and contains more than 3,500 pipes (58 ranks, each one comprising 61 pipes). It is one of the largest pipe organs in Indianapolis and cost $ 26,800 when it was installed in 1952. The church's formal parlor measures 28 feet (8.5 m) by 78 feet (24 m) and cost $ 127,000 to decorate in the early 1950s with Sheraton- and Hepplewhite -style furniture. The use of

16530-619: The school is a Division III power. DePauw's program had also won the conference's overall "President's Trophy" seven times in that span, including six consecutive President's Trophies from 2005 to 2006 to 2010–11. In 2007, the Tigers defeated Washington University in St. Louis to win the Division III title in women's basketball. The women's softball team won the regional title, advancing to the Division III College World Series for

16675-497: The school received the largest-ever gift to a liberal arts college, $ 128 million by the Holton family. Subsequently, in 2024, DePauw received a $ 200 million gift that combined a $ 150 million anonymous donation with an additional $ 50 million in matching funds from other donors. Sigma Delta Chi, known today as the Society of Professional Journalists , was founded at the college in 1909 by

16820-477: The school's media facilities. This includes a television station, radio station, newspaper, and 2 magazines - all student-run. First published in 1852 as Asbury Notes , The DePauw is Indiana's oldest college newspaper. WGRE was ranked the #1 college radio station by Princeton Review ' s "America's Best Colleges" in 2010. When school is in session, the Pulliam Center is open to students and faculty 24 hours

16965-517: The season with one scoreless tie and six points allowed in a different game. The only points surrendered that season was in a 39–6 victory over Indiana State and the only non-win was a 0–0 tie against Oberlin. The Tigers outscored their opponents, 206–6. DePauw had been a member of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference from 1997 to 2011 and won numerous conference championships, most notably in women's basketball, where

17110-642: The seat of the Great Council of The Netherlands , was not actually built until the early 20th century, although it closely followed Rombout II Keldermans 's Brabantine Gothic design, and became the 'new' north wing of the City Hall. In Florence , the Duomo 's temporary façade erected for the Medici-House of Lorraine nuptials in 1588–1589, was dismantled, and the west end of the cathedral stood bare again until 1864, when

17255-640: The sequence of Gothic styles in English ecclesiastical architecture, "a text-book for the architectural student". Its long antique title is descriptive: Attempt to discriminate the styles of English architecture from the Conquest to the Reformation; preceded by a sketch of the Grecian and Roman orders, with notices of nearly five hundred English buildings . The categories he used were Norman , Early English , Decorated , and Perpendicular . It went through numerous editions,

17400-424: The university considers an applicant’s GPA very important, and high school class rank, when available, and letters of recommendation important. In 2023, DePauw was ranked 45th among liberal arts colleges in the United States by U.S. News & World Report . DePauw is ranked #170 on Forbes magazine's 2024 rankings, which include all colleges and universities in the United States. DePauw University's schedule

17545-465: The use of iron and, after the 1880s, steel in ways never seen in medieval exemplars. In parallel with the ascendancy of neo-Gothic styles in 19th century England, interest spread to the rest of Europe, Australia, Africa and the Americas; the 19th and early 20th centuries saw the construction of very large numbers of Gothic Revival structures worldwide. The influence of Revivalism had nevertheless peaked by

17690-459: The west end. In Germany, there was a renewal of interest in the completion of Cologne Cathedral . Begun in 1248, it was still unfinished at the time of the revival. The 1820s "Romantic" movement brought a new appreciation of the building, and construction work began once more in 1842, marking a German return for Gothic architecture. St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague , begun in 1344, was also completed in

17835-464: The whimsical Gothic detailing in English furniture is traceable as far back as Lady Pomfret 's house in Arlington Street, London (1740s), and Gothic fretwork in chairbacks and glazing patterns of bookcases is a familiar feature of Chippendale 's Director (1754, 1762), where, for example, the three-part bookcase employs Gothic details with Rococo profusion, on a symmetrical form. Abbotsford in

17980-560: The word, and probably the most splendid monument to be handed down to us from the past". Because of Romantic nationalism in the early 19th century, the Germans, French and English all claimed the original Gothic architecture of the 12th century era as originating in their own country. The English boldly coined the term "Early English" for "Gothic", a term that implied Gothic architecture was an English creation. In his 1832 edition of Notre Dame de Paris , author Victor Hugo said "Let us inspire in

18125-436: The work of mediaeval stonemasons. His rational approach to Gothic stood in stark contrast to the revival's romanticist origins. Throughout his career he remained in a quandary as to whether iron and masonry should be combined in a building. Iron, in the form of iron anchors, had been used in the most ambitious buildings of medieval Gothic, especially but not only for tracery. It had in fact been used in "Gothic" buildings since

18270-551: Was Woodchester Mansion . The flexibility and strength of cast-iron freed neo-Gothic designers to create new structural Gothic forms impossible in stone, as in Calvert Vaux 's cast-iron Gothic bridge in Central Park , New York dating from the 1860. Vaux enlisted openwork forms derived from Gothic blind-arcading and window tracery to express the spring and support of the arching bridge, in flexing forms that presage Art Nouveau . In

18415-579: Was 449. The congregation did not have more than 600 members again until the mid-1890s. Historian Jacob Piatt Dunn Jr. reported in Greater Indianapolis (1910) that the Meridian Street Methodist congregation had reached 753 members. In 1935, prior to the merger with the Fifty-first Street Methodists, the Meridian Street congregation had fallen to 566 members. The merged congregation reached its peak in 1965 at 2,571 members, but declined as

18560-528: Was adopted by figures including Frederick Thomas Pilkington (1832–1898) in secular architecture it was marked by the re-adoption of the Scots baronial style. Important for the adoption of the style in the early 19th century was Abbotsford, which became a model for the modern revival of the baronial style. Common features borrowed from 16th- and 17th-century houses included battlemented gateways, crow-stepped gables , pointed turrets and machicolations . The style

18705-499: Was also known as "Cathedral style" ("À la catédrale"). By the mid-19th century, Gothic traceries and niches could be inexpensively re-created in wallpaper , and Gothic blind arcading could decorate a ceramic pitcher. Writing in 1857, J. G. Crace , an influential decorator from a family of influential interior designers, expressed his preference for the Gothic style: "In my opinion there is no quality of lightness, elegance, richness or beauty possessed by any other style... [or] in which

18850-595: Was an early and important exponent, transforming the campuses of Bryn Mawr College , Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania in the 1890s. In 1872, Abner Jackson , the President of Trinity College, Connecticut , visited Britain, seeking models and an architect for a planned new campus for the college. William Burges was chosen and he drew up a four-quadrangled masterplan, in his Early French style. Lavish illustrations were produced by Axel Haig . However,

18995-553: Was at once a setting and a protagonist in a hugely popular work of fiction. Hugo intended his book to awaken a concern for the surviving Gothic architecture left in Europe, however, rather than to initiate a craze for neo-Gothic in contemporary life. In the same year that Notre-Dame de Paris appeared, the new restored Bourbon monarchy established an office in the Royal French Government of Inspector-General of Ancient Monuments,

19140-583: Was built in 1877 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . DePauw also owns McKim Observatory . A historic structure located at the center of campus, East College is known to many as the architectural symbol of the college. The cornerstone for the building was laid on October 20, 1871. The building hosted commencement exercises in June 1874, and in September 1875 all college classes were moved to

19285-486: Was completed in 1906. The congregation was known as the Meridian Street Methodist Church from 1939 until 1968. Designed by the Indianapolis architectural firm of D. A. Bohlen and Son , the Gothic Revival-style church was constructed of Indiana limestone . The Saint Clair Street property cost $ 40,000; the new church cost an estimated $ 125,000. The church's cornerstone was laid on November 30, 1905. The facility housed

19430-524: Was dedicated on December 10, 1871. Its second-floor sanctuary had a seating capacity of 1,000; the lower level included a lecture hall, classrooms, a study, and a parlor. After the congregation's church at New York and Meridian Streets was destroyed by fire on November 17, 1904, the congregation met at the Propylaeum in University Park and elsewhere until its new church at Saint Clair and Meridian Streets

19575-472: Was founded at DePauw. Gothic Revival architecture Gothic Revival (also referred to as Victorian Gothic or neo-Gothic ) is an architectural movement that after a gradual build-up beginning in the second half of the 17th century became a widespread movement in the first half of the 19th century , mostly in England. Increasingly serious and learned admirers sought to revive medieval Gothic architecture , intending to complement or even supersede

19720-491: Was immediately hailed a success and universally replaced the previous preference for classical design. Not every architect or client was swept away by this tide. Although Gothic Revival succeeded in becoming an increasingly familiar style of architecture, the attempt to associate it with the notion of high church superiority, as advocated by Pugin and the ecclesiological movement, was anathema to those with ecumenical or nonconformist principles. Alexander "Greek" Thomson launched

19865-826: Was laid in 1814, and it was consecrated in 1816. It predates St Luke's Church, Chelsea , often said to be the first Gothic-revival church in London. Though built of trap rock stone with arched windows and doors, parts of its tower and its battlements were wood. Gothic buildings were subsequently erected by Episcopal congregations in Connecticut at St John's in Salisbury (1823), St John's in Kent (1823–1826) and St Andrew's in Marble Dale (1821–1823). These were followed by Town's design for Christ Church Cathedral (Hartford, Connecticut) (1827), which incorporated Gothic elements such as buttresses into

20010-583: Was little more than a village at the time. It was originally established as an all-men's school but began admitting women in 1867. In 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. Before his death in 1887, DePauw donated over $ 600,000 to Indiana Asbury, equal to around $ 17 million in 2021. In 2002,

20155-590: Was near the south end of the Indiana State House and is commemorated by a plaque within the State House.
