MONMOUTH The Chamber of Commerce is furthering plans
for a centennial celebration here in 195S to commemorate the
100th anniversary of Monmouth's founding. It is planned to re-
enact the drama of the early beginnings of a town which was
organized as an educational center before ground was broken for
the first building of any sort. The historical origin of Monmouth
began in Monmouth, UL, more than 100 years ago.

VI GIVE GREEN JUMPS,
cisely when the pioneers arrived
here, for at first they were scat
tered somewhat - throughout the
Willamette Valley. 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. A souvenir
historical booklet containing sket
ches and pictures of early days
here, and a program of centennial
events, is on the agenda, with
about one-third of the space devot-
J ed to advertisinb to finance pub
lication cosis.
The Chamber of Commerce has
directed Mel Jacobson to write to
Congressman Walter Norblad seek
ing permission for a centennial
post office cancellation, whkh
would be used on all outgoing mail
for six months, and would widely
advertise the centennial 1
