In the first year of the existence of the territory (1836), an act was passed for the 

 establishment of "Wisconsin University" at Belmont; but, except for the naming of 

 trustees, the project was never carried out. In 1837, another act to establish the "Wis- 

 consin University of Green Bay" eventuated in the formation of a temporary local 

 college called Hobart University.
