Linfield University is a private liberal arts college with campuses in McMinnville, and Portland, Oregon. Linfield Wildcats athletics participate in the NCAA Division III Northwest Conference. Linfield reported a total of 1,755 students after the fall 2022 census date.[3] The institution officially changed its name from Linfield College to Linfield University, effective July 1, 2020.[4][5][6]

History

[edit]
Pioneer Hall, built in 1882.

The 1800s

[edit]

Linfield traces its history back to the earliest days of Oregon Territory, when pioneer Baptists in Oregon City created the Oregon Baptist Educational Society in 1848.[7] This society was organized to establish a Baptist school in the region, which began as Oregon City College in 1849.[7] In 1855, Sebastian C. Adams began to agitate for a school in McMinnville. Adams and his associates were members of the Christian Church, and so the school became a Christian School. To begin, 6 acres (2.4 ha) of property were donated by W. T. Newby and a group was formed to establish the school. The group included William Dawson, James McBride, Newby, and Adams, and they bore the major part of the expenses of starting the school. These men built a building and convinced Adams, who was a teacher, to operate the school. After about a year and a half and because of the difficulty of running the school alone and funding problems, Adams suggested that the school be turned over to the Baptists who were attempting to start up the West Union Institute that had been chartered in 1858 by the Oregon Territorial Legislature. The Adams group imposed the condition that the Baptists keep at least one professor employed continuously in the college department.[8] Other accounts indicate that the Baptist group purchased the land in 1857 in order to start their school.[7] The Oregon Territorial Legislature chartered the Baptist College at McMinnville in 1858. The school later became McMinnville College in 1898.[9][10]

Melrose Hall, built in 1929, is the administrative center of the institution

The 1900s

[edit]

In 1922, the name was changed to Linfield College in memory of a Baptist minister, the Rev. George Fisher Linfield whose widow, Frances Eleanor Ross Linfield, gave a substantial donation to the college to promote Christian education and as a memorial to her late husband. Mrs. Linfield served as Dean of Women from 1921 to 1928, and sat on the Board of Directors from 1922 to her death in 1940. Her gift included real estate in Spokane, Washington, valued at $250,000 (a sum worth nearly $4 million in 2020).[11] In his 1938 book, Bricks Without Straw: The Story of Linfield College, Professor Jonas A. "Steine" Jonasson quotes from the minutes of the college's board of trustees to explain Mrs. Linfield's motivation for her large land gift to the college: "Mrs. Linfield's dual purpose in making the gift to McMinnville College was to 'perpetuate the name, scholarly attainments and Christian influence of her late husband, Rev. George Fisher Linfield, and to promote the cause of Christian education.'"[12]

In 1982, the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing was established when the college entered into an affiliation with Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital & Medical Center and began offering a bachelor's degree program in nursing.

The 2000s

[edit]

Linfield offered buyouts to 13 professors in liberal-arts programs with shrinking enrollment in 2019, shortly after President Miles K. Davis arrived. He also announced efforts to shift resources to the nursing and business programs, which account for the majority of students. Those shifts led to strained relationships with some faculty members in the traditional liberals arts disciplines.[13]

Following sexual abuse charges against a former trustee that involved students in 2017 and 2019, faculty members voted 88 to 18 on a motion of no confidence in David C. Baca, the chair of the college's board of trustees, in May 2020.[14] The board continued to support Baca[15] who offered to resign.[16] Students then circulated a petition calling for Baca to step down from his position.[15] An outside agency also investigated a claim made by a faculty member of "inappropriate touching" by two trustees.[16]

The school officially changed its name to Linfield University, effective on July 1, 2020. Along with the new name, Linfield unveiled a new logo and seal for the institution. The logo bears the letter "L" inside an acorn with oak leaves.[17] According to the website, Linfield has used an image of an acorn in its logo since 2010. "Linfield has used an image of an acorn as part of its logo design since 2010, and a representation of an oak leaf in years previous to that."[18]

In April 2021, President Miles K. Davis was accused by several faculty members of making anti-Semitic remarks. Davis denied the allegations in a letter to the Anti-Defamation League, which has suggested an investigation into the claims as well as anti-Semitism and bias training for institutional leaders. An earlier investigation into alleged remarks by Davis substantiated one allegation but was unable to confirm the other claims. One of the faculty members filed a complaint with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, claiming religious retaliation and harassment by Davis and Baca.[19] On April 19, 2021, faculty members passed a resolution of no confidence in Davis and Baca, and called for their resignations.[20] The college fired one of the whistleblowers, a Jewish tenured professor, Daniel Pollack-Pelzner,[21][22] who filed a lawsuit against the school.[23] Due in part to the termination of Pollack-Pelzner's employment, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) censured Linfield for, in the AAUP's opinion, not respecting Pollack-Pelzner's academic freedom and not following institutional policies.[24] In February, 2023, Linfield reached a $1 million settlement with the fired professor.[25]

In September 2021, Baca stepped down as chair of the board of trustees.[26]

In November, 2023, Davis announced his intention to resign in early 2024.[27] Rebecca Johnson was appointed interim president on December 26, 2023.[28] Mark Blegen will become president effective July 1, 2025.[29]

Campuses

[edit]

McMinnville campus

[edit]

Linfield's primary location in McMinnville, Oregon, moved to its present location in 1881. The original location was at 5th and C Street closer to downtown McMinnville. From a marker on the present campus: "...The board of Trustees met on August 2, 1881 and took action which resulted in moving (McMinnville) Linfield College from 5th & C streets to its present location, actuated by the gift of Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Cozine."[54] Pioneer Hall, the oldest building at Linfield University, opened in 1883 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[55]

In the late 1990s, the institution acquired a former Hewlett-Packard property adjacent to the McMinnville campus, which more than doubled the size of the campus and opened new opportunities for the school.[56]

The McMinnville campus currently sits at 189 acres and houses the College of Arts and Sciences and School of Business.[30]

Portland campus

[edit]

Linfield's presence in Portland, Oregon, began in 1982. In response to a national trend for nursing education to be a part of colleges and universities, the Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing became the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing under the auspices of Linfield College.[citation needed]

Founded by Emily Loveridge in 1890, the Good Samaritan Hospital Diploma School of Nursing was the first school of nursing in the Northwest. Loveridge served Good Samaritan Hospital for 40 years and is considered a pioneer in nursing. The Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing remains the longest running nursing school in the Northwest.[citation needed]

The original campus for the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing was adjacent to the Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center in Northwest Portland.[57] In February 2021, Linfield opened a 20-acre campus in northeast Portland, acquired from the University of Western States, to house its nursing school.[58][59]

In honor of Good Samaritan nursing school founder Emily Loveridge, Linfield dedicated a building on its campus as Loveridge Hall in September 2024. The building houses a historical exhibit honoring Loveridge and her nursing legacy in the Pacific Northwest.[60]

eCampus

[edit]

Camas Festival

[edit]

The annual Camas Festival started in 2021 and is held during the first weekend of May. Linfield started the festival in partnership with the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Yamhill Watershed Council to celebrate camas, or camassia plant, which was once prolific in the region and a prolific food source for the local tribes.[75] Linfield's McMinnville campus has a patch of camas growing on it that faculty and students have restored and hope to propagate.[75] The festival features tours of the Cozine Creek area where the camas grows, as well as other educational and cultural tables and activities.

Edith Green Distinguished Lectureship

[edit]

Former Linfield President Charles Walker secured several grants in 1981 to endow a permanent endowment fund dedicated to bringing Nobel laureates to McMinnville.[56] The symposium evolved out of a lecture series organized by Bill Apel, then the campus chaplain and religious studies professor, who had coordinated smaller events on the topic of world peace.[77] Apel organized the Oregon Nobel Laureate Symposium from 1986-1991, when it stopped being an annual event. Past Nobel Prize winners who have spoken at the symposium include Elie Wiesel in 1988, Franco Modigliani in 1989, Oscar Arias in 1998, Jose Ramos-Horta in 2000, and Harold Kroto in 2011.[77] After a 10-year hiatus, the Oregon Nobel Laureate Symposium returned in 2023 featuring Nobel Prize for physics winners William D. Phillips and David J. Wineland.[77]
