Introduction to the University of Manchester

Manchester University, founded back in 1851 and granted its royal charter in 1903, is a giant of the north in a great student city. Living and studying here may change your life. There are more than 15,000 undergraduates and it attracts more applicants than any other university.

Perhaps this is because of the good mix of arts and sciences that the university provides, as well as access to outstanding facilities, such as the third largest university library in the UK, the Jodrell Bank Science Centre with its radio telescope and 6,000 PCs clustered across the campus. Rutherford split the atom here and, on a pragmatic note, first years are guaranteed university accommodation. The students' union has four bars and two venues for live music, and there are over 100 student societies. All this goes some way to explaining Manchester's popularity.

But one of the university's other assets is the city itself and all that goes on there. Sophisticated but homely, cosmopolitan but northern, you cannot deny Manchester's buzz or its unparalleled music and club scene.

The university feeds off this, counting such glamorous cats as the Chemical Brothers, Sleeper's Louise Wener and MP Nick Brown among its alumni. The last was a stalwart of the Northern Soul scene, always ready with his talcum powder to demonstrate some trouser-splitting new move to awed onlookers.

The final piece of the jigsaw in explaining rainy Manchester's charms are not the figures on burglary or car crime in student areas, but the surveys published yearly announcing that students there have more sex and take more drugs than the rest of the student population of Britain.

Manchester College History
Manchester College traces its origin to the Roanoke Classical Seminary founded by the United Brethren Church in Roanoke, Indiana in 1860. The seminary became Manchester College when it was moved to North Manchester, Indiana in 1889. Representatives of the Church of the Brethren purchased the campus in 1895 and deeded it to four State Districts of the Church in 1902. The number of supporting districts increased until, by 1932, Manchester College served the five-state area of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Rapid growth of the public high school and increasing interest in higher education resulted in a gradual shift of emphasis from an academy and Bible school to a college of liberal arts. The academy was discontinued in 1923.

Mount Morris College in Mount Morris, Illinois, merged with Manchester College in 1932. Founded as a Methodist seminary in 1839, Mount Morris had been purchased by representatives of the Church of the Brethren in 1879 and operated under the name of the Rock River Seminary and College Institute until 1844, when the name was changed to Mount Morris College. The merger of Mount Morris College and Manchester College came about when the Church of the Brethren decided its educational program would be strengthened by pooling its resources in a smaller number of colleges.

The relationship of Manchester College with the Church of the Brethren continues. The College accents this relationship and welcomes students of all faiths to its campus.

Manchester College has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (159 N. Dearborn, Chicago, IL 60601, 312-263-0456) since 1932. The teacher education program is accredited by the Indiana Professional Standards Board and by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education at the baccalaureate level. The baccalaureate level social work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Manchester College holds membership in many organizations related to higher education.
