Marquette University

Marquette University () is a private Jesuit research university in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Established by the Society of Jesus as Marquette College on August 28, 1881, it was founded by John Martin Henni, the first Bishop of the diocese of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.The university was named after 17th-century missionary and explorer Father Jacques Marquette, SJ, with the intention to provide an affordable Catholic education to the area's emerging German immigrant population. Initially an all-male institution, Marquette became the first coeducational Catholic university in the world in 1909 when it began admitting its first female students.Marquette is part of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. The university is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and currently has a student body of about 12,000. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity". Marquette is one of the largest Jesuit universities in the United States, and the largest private university in Wisconsin.Marquette is organized into 11 schools and colleges at its main Milwaukee campus, offering programs in the liberal arts, business, communication, education, engineering, law and various health sciences disciplines. The university also administers classes in suburbs around the Milwaukee area and in Washington, DC. While most students are pursuing undergraduate degrees, the university has over 68 doctoral and master's degree programs, a law school, a dental school (only one in the state), and 22 graduate certificate programs. The university's varsity athletic teams, known as the Golden Eagles, are members of the Big East Conference and compete in the NCAA's Division I in all sports.

Marquette Gymnasium

Marquette Gymnasium is a gymnasium on the campus of Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, built in 1922. The building was the first full-time home of the Marquette men's basketball team before they moved, originally part-time, to the Milwaukee Arena. In later years, the building served as a practice facility for the team, as well as the home of the women's basketball and volleyball teams before the completion of the Al McGuire Center. Currently the building houses offices for the Intercollegiate Athletics department (including the Cross Country, Track, soccer, tennis and golf teams) and the school's Army and Naval ROTC departments.It was traditionally known in the Marquette community as the "Old Gym." Legendary Marquette basketball coach Al McGuire and his powerhouse Marquette men's basketball teams of the 1960s and 1970s (an era in which Marquette was a perennial NCAA tournament team and was often ranked in the top 10 of national polls) practiced almost exclusively in the Old Gym. Famous MU basketball players and coaches who called the Old Gym home on a daily basis included George Thompson, Dean "The Dream" Meminger, Jim Chones, Bob Lackey, Maurice Lucas, Earl Tatum, Bo Ellis, Allie McGuire, Jerome Whitehead, Butch Lee, Sam Worthen, Doc Rivers, Tony Smith, Jim McIlvaine, Dwyane Wade and Travis Diener...as well as Marquette coaches Tex Winter, Eddie Hickey, Al McGuire, Hank Raymonds, Rick Majerus, Kevin O'Neill, and Tom Crean.

Grand Avenue Congregational Church
Grand Avenue Congregational Church

The Grand Avenue Congregational Church is a historic Romanesque Revival church built in 1888 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.The congregation that became Grand Avenue Congregational split off in 1847 from First Presbyterian and First Congregational, calling itself Free Congregational. Abolition of slavery was a keen interest of the congregation at that time, along with education of women and temperance. The congregation first met in a rented building downtown on Broadway, moved to Spring Street in 1852, and Grand Avenue in 1881. In 1887 they decided to move again, to build at the current location on Wisconsin Ave.The congregation hired master architect E. Townsend Mix to design their new church. Mix's design is Romanesque Revival, with round arches and rough-cut stone contrasting with smooth brick and glass. Most of the rough stone is lower, to give a feel of stability. The floor-plan is in the form of a cross, and the roof-line is complex. However, going against typical Romanesque Revival church buildings, the front is symmetric, without a big dramatic tower on one side. Instead a large Diocletian window rises above the front door, and a small tower rises from each side gable. Inside, the large auditorium seated 1200.The new church was dedicated in May 1888. The back of the building was expanded in 1907, 1930 and 1935. The 1930 expansion was a choir loft designed by Van Ryn & DeGelleke.The congregation has a tradition of ecumenism. In 1902 it hosted a joint Thanksgiving service of Christians and Jews. In 1945 it held a joint service with St. Mark's African Methodist Church. In 1957 Martin Luther King Jr. spoke to a packed house about segregation, the importance of peace and love, and finding a solution to racial inequality.In 1996 the church's building was transferred to the Irish Cultural and Heritage Center. The congregation dissolved the following year.
