By 1854 they had chosen the ground now oc cupied by Monmouth, and moved onto it, taking donation land claims in the surrounding area, or buying adjacent land. ' -Name Chosen In deciding upon a name for the town, this incident occurred: The proposed institution of learning received .first . consideration, so trustees twere chosen before ground was broken at the site. A tiny group; of men some say but five ' as the first organizing body to convene herei met . and voted on two proposed names; uover ana TMonmoutn. . a . w The vote stood 60-SO tor each name, so Ira F. M. BuUer who acted as chairman, was privileged to cast the 'deciding vote. As ie had been a resident of Monmouth, 111., he cast his, ballot for "Mon mouth." Prominent In History The name, as every student of history knows, is a prominent one in the British Isles. The battle of Monmouth, N. J., fought in 1778, ' is said to have been a decisive fac . tor in the Revolutionary War. j Monmouth, HI., is a westward : evolution of the name's growth. It ; is said to be of Welch origin; ' j Bethel Academy had been found-: ed a few miles northwest of Mon- i mouth. Ore., and, as two. schools , of highter learning. in such close! proximity seemed unwise, the' academy was re-located at Mon mouth by . mutual' agreement of the concurring authorities, in 1555, and -the name was changed to Monmouth University. First Teacher A little grammar school was built that year and Judge Cowls of McMinnville was the first teach er. A Christian Church, organized the same year, held services in the' little square "school house with John E. Murphy as. minister. The structure known aa Mon mouth University was begun in 1S56. The territory was surveyed for the first time by T. H. Hutchin son in 1855. ' " Working on Plans A Centennial Commission is now working on jlans for further ac tion and developments.
