On May 31, 2000, President Henry S. Bienen, the Northwestern University Board of Trustees, and other guests gathered in Chicago to commemorate the founding of Northwestern at 69 West Lake Street on May 30, 1850. On that date nine men met in a law office to discuss establishing an institution of higher education. Their hope was that Chicago, already a center of commerce, could become a center of learning as well.
