	Irvington Campus Butler University Title Irvington Campus Butler University Owning Institution Indiana Historical Society Item ID P0130_BOX24_FOLDER6_27997 Description After the Civil War, the university felt growing pains, and was offered enticements to move east to the newly-founded town of Irvington. It did so in 1875. The new 25-acre campus allowed expansion to multiple buildings and athletic fields. The school became a focal point for the growing town. NWCU became Butler University in 1877 to honor founder and supporter Ovid Butler, over his protests. Today the library, Benton House and some faculty and greek houses remain on the former campus.
