Hedding College

The school was named after Methodist Bishop Elizah Hedding.

The college closed in 1927 because the Methodist Church thought there were too many other schools in Illinois.

The building was torn down in 1947, and in 1953 Hedding Grade School was built there.

The pillars from the building were saved and used as part of the Sesquicentennial Gateway at Illinois Wesleyan University.

[1] Hedding College was a member of the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference from 1910 to 1926.
