Linfield Before It Was Linfield, 1858-1922 with Rich Schmidt, Linfield University Archives. In 1858, a five-page document was all it took to establish a Baptist college in McMinnville. The school didn’t become known as Linfield College, or feel somewhat secure about its future, until 1922. Join us for the wildly improbable survival of a small, religious college in the Oregon Frontier, and some of the notable people and events from its early history.
