Excerpt from The Ideas and the Men That Created the University of Nebraska: An Address Delivered Before the University of Nebraska on Charter Day, February 15, 1881The contractors for the University pushed the work with remarkable energy. At this day it is hard to realize the disadvantages under which they labored. The lumber was shipped from Chicago to East Nebraska City, four miles east of the Missouri in Iowa, opposite to the present N e braska City. It was hauled to Lincoln in wagons, over wretched roads, a distance of sixtyfive miles. The con tractors paid $10 a cord for wood with which to burn brick, and which was hauled from twenty to thirtyfive miles. On April 7, 1870, the brick work was commenced, and though there was an interruption of three weeks for want of brick, the walls were completed and the roof on by the middle of the following August. In eighty two days brick were made and put in these University walls. The Univer sity building has from that time been under the guardian ship of the Board of Regents. They determined to open it the year following its completion. By their permission this chapel was used for various literary entertainments, up to the time of its formal opening, on September 7.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
