  • Wheaton College Case Study
    Case Study The Doors of Wheaton College Travel due west of Chicago nearly 30 miles to find the suburban community of Wheaton, Illinois. This picturesque small city is noteworthy for its history, notable citizenry, and its namesake college. Wheaton College is a Christian, liberal arts college and graduate school with “twin traditions of quality academics and deep faith.” It consistently ranks very high among liberal arts colleges for undergraduate teaching and always within the top 100 liberal arts colleges. The college was founded in 1860. One year previous, William Wheaton, one of the founders of the city, had donated land to the former Illinois Institute which had been founded by Wesleyan Methodists. A new President renamed the Institute to Wheaton College in honor of their benefactor and officially separated the college from any denominational support. This man, Jonathan Blanchard, was a dedicated reformer and staunch abolitionist. Under his leadership, the college became a stop on the Underground Railroad. He also lobbied for universal co-education. As a result, Wheaton College was the only school in Illinois with a college-level women’s program at the time. In 1866 the college also graduated its first student of color. Blanchard Hall Aptly, the oldest building on campus is named Blanchard Hall. Built in 1853, it sits at the center of campus with striking Romanesque architecture. Its prominent octagonal tower, and the remainder of its envelope, is constructed of native Illinois limestone with the last stone set in 1872. Today, Blanchard Hall is home to the offices of the President, Historic Blanchard Hall is an icon Provost, Vice-Presidents and Academic Affairs as well as at the center of campus.

Jesuits: Please try to grasp how destructive to faith each of these persons are. They studied at evil colleges and they promote evil programs. See our introductory explanations in either of the MBI-Jesuit-Faculty reports as to why these ecumenical and Jesuit partnerships are built into the education process of these individuals and why they chose to turn away from Christ and reject the Bible’s authority as the Word of God. The educational institutions are explained in our Concerns- on-academia report and many other reports, but we tried also to include some of those details along the way in this report.

  • Autumn 2002 Wheaton
    Autumn 2002 Wheaton The Natural Sciences at Wheaton d ear friends— The Apostle Paul urged Christians to look “not to the things which are seen but to the things that are unseen” (2 Cor. 4:18). Since science by definition deals with the world of the “seen,” and scientists, when speaking as scientists, wisely rule out addressing what Paul means by the “unseen,” is the Apostle here warning Christians away from scientific investigation? Surely not. Jesus demonstrated God’s love for the seen by becoming part of it.The Bible graphically stresses His oneness with the world of our physical senses.“We have looked upon [him] and touched [him] with our hands,” says John (1 John 1:1). God made the seen and He is not through with it. He has set humans as stewards over it and we honor Him by giving it our full atten- tion. Yet Christians will always practice science in the end to learn also of the unseen. Paganism is marked by its focus merely on the created order: the stars, the earth, a rock, a tree. But biblical religion has always insisted on more. When viewed through the lens of Scripture,“the heavens tell of the glory of God, and their expanse declares the work of his hands” (Ps. 19:1).The Christian will often possess a passion for science—“Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who have pleasure in them,” says the Psalmist (111:2)—but if our passion is to rise above a pagan fascination with the world of the seen, it will always manifest itself, in the end, in a “Who then is this?” wonder at the One who created and sustains it.

  • Self-Guided Walking Tour of Billy Graham's Wheaton
    Self-Guided Walking Tour of Billy Graham’s Wheaton While Billy was a student at Florida Bible Institute (1937-1940), Alma Toff Edman heard him preach and told her son Elner Edman and his friend Paul Fischer about him and urged that they hear him too, which they did. The two men took Graham with them as a caddy when they played a round of golf. They urged him to attend Wheaton College after graduating from the Institute, to add a liberal arts education to his Bible and homiletics training. Edman's brother was president of Wheaton and Fischer was chairman of the board of trustees. They even offered to help with his expenses. Graham did apply to Wheaton and was accepted, starting on September 19, 1940. He needed to work to pay for part of his expenses, so he had a job with the College's Buildings & Grounds department. One of his first duties was to trim the shrubbery at the College president's house, Westgate. While doing so, he met the acting president (he was officially Westgate Alumni Building elected president in January 1941), V. Raymond Edman. Edman had heard enthusiastic reports on 326 N. Washington Street Graham from his mother and brother and Fischer (Purchased 1936) but had never met him. This began a friendship that continued to Edman's death in 1967. Edman recommended Graham as his successor at the United Gospel Tabernacle and was a mentor and advisor to him, eventually serving on the board of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Mortimer Lane was a professor of Business & Economics at the college.
