Each of these graduates has been shaped by -- and all have shaped -- a rich collective history reaching back more than 150 years.

President Folwell, defending the front gates of his home from a campus prank, is charged with assault and battery when a student is shot. An underdog football team wages a rousing battle to beat the famous Red Grange and the Illini in the inaugural game at Memorial Stadium. Author Tim Brady delves into little-known corners of the university's past to showcase the wealth of talent and ability that this landmark institution has and has given back to the world.
