Biographical History

On October 2, 1894, Stephen B. L. Penrose (1864-1947) arrived in Walla Walla, Washington, and began a 40-year tenure as the third president of Whitman College. Penrose had first come to Washington state straight out of Yale Divinity School, under the auspices of the Congregational American Home Mission Society. After revitalizing a Congregational church in Dayton, Penrose was called to the presidency of Whitman College. As a trustee, Penrose was aware of the college's financial problems; but he decided to accept the challenge and he dedicated his life to building up the school. Although the college will be in a precarious position again when he retires in 1934, others will build successfully upon the firm foundation that he will lay. After his retirement, he continued to teach at the College. Mr. Penrose passed away in 1947.
