taken

From
text:
"In
Clark
E.
Carr's
volume
entitled
'Stephen
A.
Douglas
,
'
the
author
pays
this
deserved
tribute
to the
memory
of
Douglas
for his
services
in
connection
with the
University
of
Chicago
in its
formative
period.
'To
the
building
of a
great
university
in
Chicago
Senator
Douglas
devoted
much
of his
thought
and
energy
from
1856
to the
close
of his
illustrious
career.
He
appreciated
the
value
of
learning
and
gave
a
large
portion
of his
property
to
place
within
the
reach
of the
young
of
Chicago
and of the
West
the
advantages
of
higher
education.
In the
midst
of
great
political
excitement
at a
time
when
in the
political
arena
of the
whole
great
nation
he was the
central
figure
,
midway
between
his
repeal
of the
Missouri
Compromise
and the
great
debates
, he
found
time
to
establish
what he
hoped
and
intended
should be a
great
university."
