LOCATION
Olivet is located in a most beautiful part of Illinois, in the great corn belt, with fertile fields, splendid orchards, and beautiful groves all around it; about half way down the state, near the Indiana line, twelve miles from the Wabash river, and one-half mile from the Little Vermilion; it lies midway between Georgetown to the north and Ridgefarm to the south, villages of about two thousand, and is thirteen miles south of Danville, a city of forty thousand.
Olivet is a village of between fifty and sixty residences. No cleaner town morally can be found. Almost the entire population are earnest Christians. Every foot of land sold carries with it a deed forbidding the sale or giving away of tobacco liquors and opiates. The voice of song and praise is frequently heard.
The University is reached by Interurban cars which iun from Danville to Ridgefarm. Four railroads come into Danville; the Big Four, Wabash, Chicago and Eastern Illinois, and Chicago and Eastern Indiana. In Danville there are city street car connections to the Interurban Station. See a baggage man and have your trunk transerred to the Interurban station. Come out to Olivet on the Ridgefarm car, which leaves the station at the even hour. Two railroads come into Ridgefarm, the Cairo branch of the Big Four, and the Toledo, St. Louis & Western. Upon arrival at either of these depots, walk a few blocks east, and get the Interurban to Olivet.
We have our own Postoffice and all mail and parcel post packages should be addressed to Olivet. Freight and express should be addressed to Georgetown, Illinois. Prepaid freight may be billed to Olivet, via the Illinois Traction Company.

Fifth Annual Catalogue of Illinois Holiness University 1913-1914
Olivet Nazarene University
Out of the conviction of a common need came the desire and prayer of a few of God’s people in this state for a school which would stand definitely and always for holiness of heart and life. The answer of that prayer and effort is Illinois Holiness University. The conviction was: that the religious element is necessary to to education; that religious experience and ethical culture must come in the formative stages of one’s life; that God can have his way with man only when man’s spiritual development is at least equal to his intellectual development; and that the beginning and developing of the spiritual part must be undertaken in early life, and conducted from the first in a sane and safe manner, with the Bible as a text-book. To this end a small school was started in 1907, in Georgetown, Illinois, where the best means of grace with the best facilities of the school-room could be had.
