How old is Linfield? 154 years and counting
On Jan. 30, 1858, Oregon Territorial Legislature granted a charter to a new college in McMinnville. Initially known as The Baptist College in McMinnville, and then as McMinnville College. The name was changed to Linfield College in 1922. Linfield celebrated its 154th birthday on Jan. 30, 2012. This poster was seen on a wall in Linfield's Fred Meyer Lounge of Riley Hall on March 10, 2012.
