In the early 1960s when the seminary portion of Northern Baptist moved from Chicago to Lombard, Illinois, the College was made an independent entity. In 1963 under the guidance of Dr. Benjamin P. Browne, college and seminary president, the ―new‖ college was founded in Elgin, Illinois. It was named after Adoniram Judson, the first American missionary to foreign shores. Judson‘s first president, Dr. Browne, retired in 1967. Dr. Amos B. Barton served as president through 1969, and Dr. Harm A. Weber from 1969-1992. In 1992, Dr. James W. Didier was appointed president. He retired in 1998, and Dr. Jerry B. Cain became Judson‘s fifth president. From its birth on a 19-acre private estate along the western shores of the Fox River, Judson has grown today to a 90-acre campus of rolling, wooded terrain and spacious lawns. A creek winds through the campus, forms a picturesque pond near the midpoint, and empties into the Fox River on the east. Over seventeen buildings and facilities dot the campus, including four student residence halls, a campus apartment building, a library, a science building, a fine arts building, a fitness center, a campus commons, athletic fields, the Lindner Center (a seven-story classroom, office and residential facility), and a 700-seat chapel. Creekside South houses all resources and space for the Department of Architecture. Under construction is the Harm A. Weber Center, which will be the new home of the main academic library, the art and design department and the architecture department. This facility employs innovative "green" technology and will be one of the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly buildings in the U.S. Occupancy of this building is scheduled for the summer of 2007. (See section 3.8 for floor plans.). Judson is an American Baptist-affiliated, evangelical Christian college of the liberal arts, sciences and professions. It is coeducational and
