110 ILCS 120/ Vacated Grounds for Universities Act.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(110 ILCS 120/1) (from Ch. 144, par. 12)

Sec. 1.

When parks, squares or
other public grounds have been legally vacated by ordinance of any
municipality, and any university or college in this state, incorporated
in pursuance of the laws thereof, has been hereby authorized to erect
buildings for educational purposes on such vacated grounds, with a
limitation in the ordinance of vacation that said grounds and the
buildings erected thereon shall be used for the education of one sex, or
in any other particular and limited manner, and such university or
college shall have erected buildings on such vacated grounds, and when
the municipality which passed the ordinance of vacation has by
subsequent ordinance modified or repealed the limitation in such
ordinance, or has by ordinance, or conveyance of such vacated ground to
such university or college, estopped itself from insisting upon such
limitation, such estoppel shall be valid against the general public to
the same extent as against said municipality; and it shall be lawful for
such university or college to use and control such grounds for any
purpose authorized by its act of incorporation or by such subsequent
ordinance or conveyance in as full and ample a manner as other grounds
held by such university or college for the objects for which the same
was incorporated.
