The college became Oregon State Normal school; then Oregon Normal school; then Ore Eon College of Education. In 1885 T. H. Hutchinson made the' first survey of land in Mon mouth. A" year later theV first schoolhouse , was built there, a small square building a grammar school." Judge Cowls of McMinn- ville was first teacher. John E. Murphy, Christian ' minister held church services in the same buil ding. - :"- A group of pioneers from Mon mouth, Illinois, had settled in this part of the Willamette valley in the early fifties. Leaving their com fortable homes, their tilled lands, in the. midwest, they' trekked across the plains to the wild vir gin country of Oregon territory. Sensing the need for, education, they planned from the start to found a school in the far west. In fact, before they left Illinois, they had a definite, if incipient, agree ment to establish: -"a school where men and women alike may be come schooled in the science of living, and in the fundamental principles of religion." A crude building was begun in 1858, and its doors opened for the first "University" year in 1861. There was no solicitation for en dowment. The founders donated 500 acres of land from their own holdings. At about the same time, Bethel Acaremy, 15 miles north of here, was built. As both insti tutions were founded by the Christian, or Campbellite denom ination, both groups inspired by religious . and educational zeal, it seemed unwise to maintain two schools of similar intent in such close proximity. They were both broad enough to merge, their for ces, and by mutual agreement of the Christian church fathers, Beth el Academy was relocated at Mon mouth in 1858, and the name of the school changed to Christian col lege about 1866. The Bethel school building became a public school. The college at Monmouth was then a feeble incidence of what the founders wanted ' in their school. They were ambitious and far-seeing. They had the pioneer spirit of devoting their lives to their beliefs. Early families here suffered hardships and depriva tions in order that a better buil ding and better equipment might grow out of the future. They pros pered, and with their prosperity and . increasing influence, their college grew. In 1871 the central wing of the brick structure - later to become the nucleus of the main Oregon Normal school unit was bunt r-any presidents names were Thomas W. Haley, L. L. Rowland and A. D, Butler. In 1869, Thomas F. Campbell came from Montana to preside over the school and for 13 years was influential in shap ing and promoting its growth. He not only served as chief executive of the school, but preached often in the village pulpit, and began. about 1870, publication of the Christian Messenger, the first newspaper in Polk county. " , The institution here preceded establishment of the University of Oregon (1878); and the seculariza tion of Oregon State college (1883). In 1874 the state legisla ture discussed the possibility of making the Monmouth school the site of a state university, but in stead, Eugene, as a location, was chosen. Begun in 1855, four years beore Oregon had achieved statehood, this college is the oldest teacher training establishment in the state. The name "Monmouth" is histor ic Prominent in the British Isles it is said to be of Welsh origin. The battle of Monmouth, New Jersey, was a decisive factor in the warjof the revolution. Today, Fort Monmouth, NJ, is often in the news. By westward evolution Monmouth sank root at Mon mouth, Illinois, and. from there it was transplanted to the map of Oregon. Monmouth boys are now said to be on British soil in the armed forces of the Allies, so the name has been virtually carried around the world, and back to its starting place. ,.
