Background

Biographical / Historical:

In the year 1946, Earlham College partnered with Indiana University to provide post-high school educational programs to citizens of east central Indiana. The program created in this new partnership was called the Eastern Indiana Center. As the Eastern Indiana Center grew, so did the need for more programs, staff, and facilities. Earlham and Indiana University joined with Ball State University and Purdue University in July of 1967 to create the new Eastern Indiana Center. Like its predecessor, this program was housed on Earlham's campus. In 1970, the Dean of the Eastern Indiana Center, Fred Grohsmeyer, worked with Landrum Bolling and Brice Hayes to propose the idea of establishing a regional IU campus in Richmond from the foundations of the Eastern Indiana Center partnership. The Indiana University board of Trustees officially established IU East as a regional campus on July 1, 1971. The Eastern Indiana Center Collection therefore shows the beginnings of IU East.
