The college was founded in Chicago in 1872. This pioneer institution was the Northern Illinois College of Ophthalmology and on- tology. Interest in new methods of examining and correcting human vision grew rapidly. By 1891 the college moved to the "tallest commercial building in the world" and was renamed the Northern Illinois College of Optom- etry and Ontology. In 1926, the Northern Illinois Col- lege of Ophthalmology merged with the Needles Institute of Op- tometry, and the name was changed to the Northern Illinois College of Optometry. A new char- acter was granted for the institu- tion. Meanwhile, in 1937 the Monroe College of Optometry was founded Chicago and 1947 became in in the Chicago College of Optometry. Both the Chicago College and Northern Chicago College estab- lished splendid records and perfor- mance in optometric education. In, January, 1955 the respective board of trustees of each college voted to merge the institutions into one outstanding independent col- lege under the new name of the Illinois College of Optometry. Thus, from its humble beginnings over a century ago, the Illinois Col- lege of Optometry is known as the professions largest as well as ol- dest accredited college. The Illinois College of Optometry has trained one third of all practic- ing optometrists and remains dedi- cated to the highest standards of education. The objectives of the college have always been to pro- vide its students with a back- ground of preparation which com- bines the best of the traditions of 4 the past with the most advanced developments of the present.
