Failure to meet these conditions, and the land (and the university on it) would revert back to the Mennonite Church (which still exists).
Guess what? When I went there, there were fraternities and sororities and Normal was not a dry town. When my parents went there, there were no fraternities and sororities and Normal was dry. What happened? The town and the university sued the Mennonite Church (I believe citing the Establishment Clause) and weaseled out of the original agreement.
