Some of the Crises in the History of Ottawa University From 1862 to 1873 the affairs of Ottawa University were unsettled andconstantly changing. Starting out with great expectations in the year 1867, themanagement became so involved that they appealed to the American BaptistHome Mission Society for help. Mr. Robert Atkinson was sent to look into thesituation, and through his dogged persistence and unyielding firmness the buildingand 640 acres of land were saved to the institution at Ottawa. On January 9, 1875, the building now known as Science Hall was burnedand carried no insurance. Under the leadership of Mr. Atkinson the necessaryfunds were raised, mostly in Ottawa, and the building was restored. School workwas resumed in the building in 1876, with Mr. P. L. Williams as President. After having had the general management of the institution for fifteen years,Mr. Atkinson deciding that he could better serve the instittuion by a change ofwork, resigned, with three other trustees.
