The history of Northwestern University can be traced back to a May 31, 1850, meeting of nine prominent Chicago businessmen who shared a desire to establish a university to serve the Northwest Territories. On January 28, 1851, the Illinois General Assembly granted a charter to the Trustees of the North-Western University making it the first recognized university in Illinois. John Evans purchased 379 acres (153 ha) of land along Lake Michigan in 1853 and Philo Judson began developing the plans for what would become the city of Evanston. Northwestern first fielded an intercollegiate football team in 1882, and later became a founding member of the Big Ten Conference. A proposal to merge Northwestern with the University of Chicago was considered in 1933, but rejected by Northwestern.
