Valparaiso University (Valpo) is a private university located in
Valparaiso, Indiana. It is a Lutheran university with about 3,000 students
from over 50 countries on a campus of 350 acres (140 ha). Valpo has five
undergraduate colleges and a graduate school. It is home to the
second-largest collegiate chapel in the world, the Chapel of the
Resurrection. Originally named Valparaiso Male and Female College,
Valparaiso University was founded in 1859 as one of the first coeducation
colleges in the United States. Due to reverses brought about by the Civil
War, the college was forced to close in 1871. Two years later it was revived
by educator Henry Baker Brown and named Northern Indiana Normal School and
Business Institute. At the turn of the 20th century, Brown changed the
college's name to Valparaiso College, and soon after it was rechartered as
Valparaiso University. Initially founded by Methodists, the Lutheran
University Association purchased it in 1925. The Association continues to
operate it today. Source:
