You can find a fascinating video "History of Olivet Nazarene University" on YouTube.
Olivet Nazarene was founded as Illinois Holiness University in Olivet, IL in 1907. The name changed to Olivet University in 1915 and to Olivet College in 1921. The institution relocated to Bourbonnais, IL after a devastating fire in 1939 and the name changed to Olivet Nazarene University with this relocation to a property formerly owned by Viator College. The original campus in Olivet, IL was operated as a Catholic seminary and retreat center for a time.
You can learn more by visiting the Olivet Nazarene website and there is also a well developed Wikipedia entry for Olivet Nazarene University with much more institutional history.
