Historical Note
Andrew Wylie, the first president of Indiana University, was born on 12 April 1789, on a
farm in western Pennsylvania. The son of an Irish immigrant, Wylie was brought up in a
Scots-Irish Presbyterian household where education, religion, and discipline were
instilled deeply into the young man’s psyche. Before entering Jefferson College in
Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, at the age of fifteen, Wylie helped his father farm the land
and took classes at the public schools in the area as the seasons permitted. Wylie’s
mother also supplemented his education.
Wylie graduated with honors from Jefferson College in 1810 at the top of his class.
Promptly after graduation Wylie began tutoring at the college, and in a relatively short
amount of time Wylie made a reputation for himself as one of the most gifted scholars in
the east. This led to Wylie being unanimously elected president of Jefferson College by
the Board of Trustees a mere two years after graduating from the school. Sometime during
this period Wylie was ordained as a Presbyterian minister.
In 1817, Wylie resigned his position at Jefferson College and became the president of
Washington College in Washington, Pennsylvania, in an attempt to unify the two
Presbyterian schools which were only located about seven miles away from one another.
The attempt to unite the two colleges failed when the board members of Washington
College and Wylie clashed on the terms of the unification. Wylie resigned as president
of Washington College in December of 1828 when he realized he no longer had the full
support of the college's Board of Trustees. During his presidency at Washington College,
Wylie received his D.D. (Doctor of Divinity) from Union College in 1825.
In 1828, Indiana Seminary was undergoing the transformation to Indiana College and Wylie
was contacted about becoming president of the fledgling institution. After being
continuously courted by the faculty and other officials of the college, the Indiana
College Board of Trustees elected Wylie president in 1829. Wylie, his wife Margaret, and
his growing family moved to Bloomington to assume his new duties as the first president
of Indiana College on 29 October 1829.
When Wylie arrived he not only served as president but was also an instructor. One of
the first things he did was change the curriculum and the student body structure. The
institution adopted the "One-Study Plan," adding both a junior and senior class. It
outlined that the freshman and half of the sophomore year be dedicated to the study of
Greek and Latin. In the second half of the sophomore year and the entire junior year,
mathematics and some "natural sciences" were to be the main course of study. In the
senior year, all students studied philosophy, Christianity, constitutional law,
political economy, and literary criticism under the watchful eye of Wylie himself. When
classes at the college opened December 1829, Baynard Hall and John Harney had the
responsibility of teaching the other three classes with a total enrollment of forty
students. During the remaining years of Wylie’s presidency the curriculum changed very
little.
During the first years of Wylie’s administration the biggest scandal of Wylie’s
presidency was born. The events of 1832 were so tumultuous that they almost resulted in
the death of the college. The scandal, christened the "Faculty War of 1832," began in
the spring of that year when a representative of the student temperance society, Samuel
Givens, asked Wylie if he could speak either first or last at the student oration
presentations. Wylie agreed, but was later preoccupied by a troublemaking carpenter at
the site of the orations and forgot his promise to the young man. He called upon Givens
to speak second and Givens, outraged by Wylie recanting his word, refused to speak. That
following Saturday morning in the chapel Wylie called upon Givens to explain his
behavior to the assembled faculty and student body. He explained that Wylie had reneged
on a promise and that he did not want his speech mixed up with the others. Wylie
apologized and explained that he had to deal with an unruly carpenter at the
Presbyterian Church where the orations were held. He asked the boy if faced with the
same situation again would he behave in the same manner. The young man responded with a
"yes," and Wylie denounced him as a "very mean man." Upon this declaration the present
faculty, Harney and Hall, entered into the fray causing Wylie to lecture them in front
of the student body. Hall and Harney in turn denounced the president as a liar and
spy.
The events surrounding the oration were in essence the final event which brought about
the complete degeneration of an already failing relationship between the faculty members
and the president. Harney and Hall were at odds with Wylie over the new curriculum and
the methods used to teach it almost from the beginning of Wylie’s presidency.
Complicating the situation was the fact that Wylie was a rigid, uncompromising man. The
power struggle ended with Wylie retaining his position and with Hall resigning and
Harney being dismissed.
Adding to the difficulties faced by the college was an outbreak of Asiatic cholera in
August 1833. The disease struck very quickly forcing people to flee from Bloomington by
whatever means they could manage. Classes were cancelled and the students sent home
after one of the students died of the disease. Classes did not resume until September
after the epidemic had run its course and the new faculty thought it safe for the
students to return.
Not long after the fires of the first scandal burned themselves out another scandal
erupted. In 1838 the college became a university , and Wylie was re-elected president at
that time. However, in 1839, William C. Foster, an officer of the board of trustees,
brought charges against Wylie, accusing him of abuse of trust. After being investigated
by the members of the board of trustees, Wylie was exonerated of the charges. In the end
the scandal cost the university three more professors and a drop in enrollment. During
his twenty-two year administration Wylie had to defend himself four times against
charges brought against him. He was cleared of any wrong doing each time.
Many of the problems of the fledgling university were grounded in the sectarianism that
pervaded the Bloomington community and the state government in general. Simply put, it
was the Presbyterians vs. the Methodists as was best exemplified by the Faculty War of
1832. With the exception of enrollment, no real growth occurred in the first 30 years of
the university’s existence until all of the perceived sectarians were either removed or
died. As a result of the political strife surrounding the university, talk swirled
between 1840 and 1850 of moving the university up to Indianapolis to a "more receptive
audience." In 1841 the University Board of Trustees was disbanded, and the restriction
stating each county in Indiana could have no more than two members of their community
represented on the board at any one time was introduced. This restriction helped to end
the sectarianism or the "Bloomington Divide" which adversely affected the
university.
Andrew Wylie died on 11 November 1851 of pneumonia, a complication that he developed
after accidentally cutting his leg while chopping wood.
