Excerpt from South Bend, World Famed During the recent depression of business, South Bend was the most prosperous City in the United States. The City has always been noted for the stability of its industries. Its ideal location on the greatest railroad in the world and on other great railroads, its situation close to all the markets for raw materials, and its place at the center of distribution in the United States insure for the City a marvelous growth in the future. A truly great period of expan sion lies before the City, and to meet this the municipal government will be confronted with many difficult problems. Among the most important works to be undertaken bythe. City in the next few years will be the build ing of new water pumping stations, new fire stations, new schools, a new City Building, new fire and police alarm systems, the elevation of the tracks of the New York Central Railway, the removal of the Grand Trunk Western Rail way from Division Street, the building of the boulevard paralleling the St. Joseph River, the development of park lands and City Plan ning. South Bend is committed to a progressive policy of meeting all the situations demanded of a City great in industry.

City and Campus tells the rich history of a Midwest industrial town and its two academic institutions through the buildings that helped bring these places to life. John W. Stamper paints a narrative portrait of South Bend and the campuses of the University of Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s College from their founding and earliest settlement in the 1830s through the boom of the Roaring Twenties. Industrialist giants such as the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company and Oliver Chilled Plow Works invested their wealth into creating some of the city’s most important and historically significant buildings. Famous architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, brought the latest trends in architecture to the heart of South Bend. Stamper also illuminates how Notre Dame’s founder and long-time president Father Edward Sorin, C.S.C., recruited other successful architects to craft in stone the foundations of the university and the college at the same time as he built the scholarship. City and Campus provides an engaging and definitive history of how this urban and academic environment emerged on the shores of the St. Joseph River.
