At the executive board meeting in 1908, Silas W. Bond, Presi- dent of Houghton Seminary, was commissioned to visit churches of the western conferences to encourage them to unite in a church- supported school. There had been several small, locally supported schools, but they had closed. Due largely to the efforts of Rev. H. S. Abbott, President of the Kansas Conference, the site at Miltonvale was located. Twenty acres of land for a campus and conference camp ground were offered by the Tootle estate, and the town pledged $12,000 toward the con- struction of the first building. The Administration Building was more or less ready by Septem- ber, 1909. A three-story brick structure, the building had its own water system, pressure supplied by a windmill south-east of the school. The building was lighted by acetylene. Through the next few years many improvements were made. City water and electricity were installed, many trees were planted, including the distinctive cedars. New walks were laid, the remainder of the basement excavated. Abbott Hall, gift of the Kansas Con- ference W.M.S., was built in 1914. Through the years the administration has added to the campus by purchasing houses near the school to be used as dormitories or rentals. During the late 1940 ' s an annex was constructed, housing the music studios, library, and classrooms. The Inn, for snacks and school supplies, quickly became the campus social center. The girls moved into their new dormitory, and the boys into Abbott Hall. In 1952 the gymnasium was ready for use. A large new athletic field, tennis courts, and picnic area were added. Then in 1956 the F.C. Hill Memorial Church was dedicated. A studied program of landscaping and planting, with the healthy growth of grass, trees, and shrubs, has made the campus a beautiful, park-like area. Administration Building, 1909
