Milwaukee-Downer Seminary
In 1959, MDS purchased land on Fairy Chasm Road in River Hills, Wisconsin and sold the Milwaukee campus to the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee for $1.15 million. It opened its Fairy Chasm campus in 1961. MDS merged with the Milwaukee University School and Milwaukee Country Day School in 1963 to form the University School of Milwaukee. Buildings and land from its former campus still form part of the present-day campus of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
In popular culture
A visit to a chum who is a day student at the seminary (rather lightly disguised as "Browner College" in Milwaukee) plays a prominent role in the novel Betsy in Spite of Herself, a 1946 book (set in 1907) in the Betsy-Tacy girl's book series by Maud Hart Lovelace.
