synopsis

The college in McMinnville, originally chartered in 1858, served as the town's secondary school until 1884 when it awarded its first baccalaureate degree. The Olmsted Brothers prepared a Preliminary Plan in 1908. Later as a result of a large donation in 1922, McMinnville College was renamed to honor Rev. Linfield whose widow made the donation. In 2020 its name was changed to Linfield University.
