Indiana Memorial Union in the context of "Clear Creek (Salt Creek)"

Clear Creek is an American creek in Monroe County, Indiana. Flowing in the general south-western and southern direction, it is a tributary of Salt Creek, which in its turn flows into the East Fork of Indiana's White River.

Clear Creek drains about 2/3 of the city of Bloomington (most of the city, except for its northern part, which drains to the north, into Griffy Lake and Beanblossom Creek). Clear Creek flows roughly in the west-south-westerly direction across the campus of Indiana University, passing in front of its major landmark, the Indiana Memorial Union. On campus, the creek was formerly known as the Jordan River, named so after David Starr Jordan, the seventh president of Indiana University and later the first president of Stanford University. Following controversy surrounding Jordan's support of eugenics, the "Jordan River" was renamed to the Campus River in 2020 by the IU Board of Trustees along with several buildings on campus.
