School where founded

edit

This one is stumping me. Baird's Manual reports that Phi Epsilon Kappa was founded at the Normal College of the American Gymnastics Union, which landed in Indianapolis after 1907 after a couple of moves. That school merged with an "Indiana University" - this one? - but I don't know for certain which one this is... I see the corresponding school of Physical Education et al, at that Bloomington campus, but it appears this is different from the school that is listed on the fraternity's website, which also has had several names but does not appear to have as many Physical Education aspects: the Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis Jax MN (talk) 02:48, 22 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Take a look at https://ofw.iupui.edu/page(d8c9e00d-8af6-4247-bdb0-9cdba6363a27) and https://www.iupui.edu/about/history.html https://archives.iupui.edu/handle/2450/9927 and https://exploring.iupui.edu/index.php/building/55 , that should show it. It became affiliated with the University of Indiana, and was one of the programs run by the Indiana University (as a state wide entity rather than the main campus Indiana University Bloomington) in Indianapolis that eventually got rolled up into IUPUI when it was founded.Naraht (talk) 05:47, 22 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I was able to update the fraternity website from this, along with entries for the affected colleges. Jax MN (talk) 18:36, 22 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
