tainments during the school year

in some form or other. Recitals
and entertainments were given
from the stage in the chapel.

preceded by a log cabin school,
located directly across the street
from the present high school
campus. Soon after this school
was started. Rev. J. H. Wilbur
came and , organized the First
Methodist church, and a frame
building was constructed in 1850
on the northeast, corner of the
present school grounds.

erected by popular subscription,
for school purposes for the whole
community, but under control of
the Methodist conference, r i
A little later, the building
which had previously been con
stmcted as a church was moved
and placed beside the academy
building, making a "lean-to," in
which the preachers in charge
lived. Later this addition was us
ed for school purposes. The main
building was a two-story struct

conference passed the following
resolution: ,
"The course and period of study
of the Academies shall correspond
In every respect to that adopted
by the University, both in the
preparatory and higher depart
ment, provided that the last year
of the advanced grade shall be
attended at the University in or
der to entitle the candidate to a
diploma.
"The principals of the Academ
ic Institutions shall be ez-officio
members of the Faculty of the
University, and- shall so appear
on the annual catalogue, together
with the names of student In
their several departments." ,
With the coming In of public
schools, the need for an institu
tion of the type of Santiam Acad
emy was lessened, and in 1906,
the building and grounds of the
school were leased to the Leban
on school district for a period of
99 years, a virtual gift of the
property to the school district.
The transaction was completed hy
a board of trustees elected by the
Methodist conference to represent
the church.
A leader In the activity to use
academy funds to Improve the
present campus, yet retaining the
dignity and sentiment of the old
building, was Mrs. Anna Bond
Reed, pioneer of 1853, who taught
school near Lebanon and served
as a physician when the academy
was an active Institution.
