Through its portals had passed graduates that gained distinction in the pulpit, the courts, and on the floor of Congress. The period of 1843 ^^ 1858 included the administration of Rev. Heman Dyer, Rev. David H. Riddle and Rev. John F. McLaren. This was a period of storm and stress. The University buildings were destroyed m the great fire of 1845, ^^^ ^ ^^w building was erected on Duquesne Way, ...which was dedicated September 18, 1846. After its completion, two features were prominent in the curriculum — ^the Law School was or- ganized in 1843; Walter H. Lowrie was appointed professor; another feature was the Teacher's College. In July, 1849, ^^^ University again suffered a loss of its building by fire. The faculty and students were dismissed, and the work of the University was suspended until 1855.
