Description	The original U. of Chicago had a skating club and skating park. Chicago Evening Post, Jan. 25, 1868: "University Skating Park--Base ball on ice at 1-1/2 p.m." This location would be just south of Camp Douglas. An 1863 map locates the Chicago college (as it was then called) bounded by University (just north of Douglas Place (now 35th)) on the south, Rhodes on the west, College on the north, and the railroad tracks (now Cottage Grove) on the east. Crittenden (now, 34th), which ends at Rhodes, marks the halfway point between University and College Sts.
