Historical Note

Indiana University is located in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana and was founded in 1820 as State Seminary. In 1828, the state legislature passed an act changing the name to Indiana College. Another legislative act was adopted in 1838 that awarded the school university status and the name was changed to Indiana University. The men's basketball team has won multiple National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships since the team was first organized in 1901.
