my ' 1 . ' i.-.J .f X A 2 J 1' 2 Q ' l ki.. .7 Ll xl Lxfg.-7 Ll History of Hamline TURDY pioneers, coming to Minne- sota from the eastern frontier, were not satisfied to make their daily bread and hew away in the forests for their stock and crops. They wanted their children to be educated. As early as 1849, when Minnesota was organized as a territory, this need was manifest. There were no schools then, and no provision for higher A education. The Methodist Church took the first step in the matter. ' . In 1850, there was some- talk of organizing an academy or seminary, which soon grew into the dimensions of a university. Four years later a charter was granted on application made to the Territorial Council of Minnesota. Bishop Leonidas L. Hamline had been interested in the project, and made an endowment of 825,000, in real estate, putting the institution on a financial basis. The new university was incorporated under the name of The Trustees of the Hamline University of Minnesota. Provision was made in the charter to fix the location of the institution on the Mississippi River between St. Paul and Lake Pepin. The early legislators be- lieved that the success of an educational institution depended largely on 'its prox- imity to navigable streams, for the reason that a large majority of the early settlers made their homes near the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. Also, the students, like freight, could be more cheaply transported by water than by land. L , ' Early History ED WING, then a collection of Indian huts and numbering 305 inhabitants, of whom only ive were white people, was made the site of Hamline University. In accordance with the provision of a treaty, the Indians vacated the place in 1853. In November of the following year, school opened for academic work with only one or two teachers and an attendance of probably sixty preparatory students. 'As Principal Brooks expressed it, Hamline University was founded at a time when tepees were more plentiful than houses, and Indian-trails more common than highways. However, the venture was considered a success. T he first catalogue published, in 1855, contained the following as the first faculty: Rev. Jabez Brooks, A. M., Principal and Librarian, Miss Louisa Sherman, Teacher of Modern Languages, Painting and Drawing, and Mrs. Frances L. Dun- ning, Teacher of Music and Ornamental Work. ' Two years later the university proper was opened, being the first and for some years thereafter, the only college institution in Minnesota. Chairs of mathematics, natural science and ancient languages were created, as well as professorships of theology and law. Hamline University also has the distinction of leading other colleges in the United States in establishing a scientific course of equal rank with the classical, and affording the same educational faciilities to the women as to the men, at that time a very novel idea. In the spring of that year, President Brooks resigned on account of ill health, and Rev. B. F. Crary, D. D., was elected to fill the vacancy. This Page Seventeen
