Willamette university

Willamette University was chartered as a university by the state of Oregon in 1853. The Willamette University Faculty Minutes provide a record of the issues that the Willamette faculty addressed from 1870 through 1939. The collection also contains the faculty and planning minutes for Willamette University’s Women’s College which operated from 1880 through 1888. In 1892 a group of faculty members broke with Willamette University and started Portland University on land north of the city of Portland. This collection contains the faculty meeting minutes for Portland University from 1892 through 1900. Portland University was merged back with Willamette University in 1900.
