  • I. Introduction
    I. Introduction A. The University Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational, and urban university emphasizing education for the professions, research, and scholarship. The university offers programs in engineering, science, architecture, law, business, psychology, and design, and is a member of the Association of Independent Technological Universities. With its contract research arm, IIT Research Institute (IITRI), IIT is a major center of applied science and engineering research. IIT has five campuses in the Chicago area: the Main Campus on Chicago’s mid-South Side; the Downtown Campus in Chicago’s West Loop; the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Campus in west suburban Wheaton; the Moffett Campus in south suburban Bedford Park, where the National Center for Food Safety and Technology is located; and the Institute of Design (ID) at 350 N. LaSalle St., in Chicago. In the 1950s, the university’s Main Campus was designed by master architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and has been designated one of the 200 most architecturally significant sites in the United States. The opening in 2003 of a new campus center designed by Rem Koolhaas and a dormitory by renowned architect Helmut Jahn has broadened and enhanced the architectural significance of the Main Campus. B. History In 1890, when advanced education was often reserved for society’s elite, Chicago minister Frank Gunsaulus delivered what came to be known as the “Million Dollar Sermon.” From the pulpit of his South Side church—near the site IIT now occupies—Gunsaulus said that with a million dollars he could build a school where students of all backgrounds could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing society.

Places such as Milwaukee and even Kenosha were more naturally blessed. But it was here – on a swampy and malodorous scrap of land so unpromising the Potawatomi had hardly bothered to settle it – where the American story took root and grew to epic proportions. Marquette and Jolliet once had been forced to laboriously portage their canoes over this dank, mucky expanse at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, called “wild garlic” by locals and later referred to derisively as Mud Lake. But in the early 1800’s that was no obstacle for the indomitable spirit of newly-arrived Easterners who would carve canals, tunnel under the lake itself, and later hoist the foundations of the entire City, four to seven feet, just to keep their feet dry. Mud Lake soon became the vital link to the Mississippi and the Great Lakes, the heartland and the Atlantic, the past and future – with Chicago in the center.

From 1953 through 1958, kilowatthour sales to ultimate consumers grew at an average of 6.1 percent a year. For the next five year period ending in 1963, that figure moved up to 6 .9 percent. And for the past five years, sales have averaged an annual 7.8 percent gain. This growth in growth- 6.1 to 6.9 to 7.8 percent- is due to a combination of our own marketing efforts and one of the finest service areas in the country. We do not know how to weigh the separate effect of each of these factors, but we like the result. 1953 1958 1963 1968 I 1968 HIGHLIGHTS I Average Change Annual Change 1968 Since 1967 Since 19631 Net Income on Common Stock $125.6 million up 0.6 3 up 6.9 3 Earnings per Share $2.99 up 0.3 3 up 6.7 3 23 Cash Dividends Paid per Share . $2.20 up 4.8 3 up 13.0 3 2 Electric Operating Revenues $745.3 million up 8.2 3 up 5.8 3 Average Residential Revenue• 2.56¢/Kwh down 1.9 3 down 1.9 3 5 6 Residential Heating Charge . 1.09¢/Kwh down 7.6 3 down 2.6 3 Sales to Ultimate Consumers 39.
