This month's featured university

The college was established in 1836, a few miles from the city of Walla Walla, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman founded a medical mission and a school to serve the Cayuse Indians and immigrants on the Oregon Trail.

After the Whitman's were killed by Indians in 1847, Rev. Cushing Eells decided to establish a school in the Whitman's' honor. The Washington Territorial Legislature granted a charter to Whitman Seminary on Dec. 20, 1859. On November 28, 1883, the legislature issued a new charter, changing the seminary into a 4 year, degree-granting college.

From its inception, Whitman College has prized its independence from political and sectarian control. The college has stayed small in order to facilitate the close faculty student interaction that is essential to exceptional higher education. In 1913, Whitman became the 1st university or college in the nation to require undergraduate students to complete comprehensive examinations in their major fields. The installation of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter in 1919, the 1st for any N/W college, marked Whitman's growing reputation.

Whitman College has had 13 presidents. The 1st, Alexander J. Anderson, resigned the presidency of the University of Washington in 1882 to come to Walla Walla. He was succeeded by James F. Eaton in 1891 and Stephen B. L. Penrose in 1894. Penrose served for Forty years, retiring from the presidency in 1934. He remained for 8 more years as head of the department of philosophy, serving under presidents Rudolf A. Clemen, 1934-36; Walter Andrew Bratton, 1936-42; and Winslow S. Anderson, 1942-48. Chester C. Maxey, a 1912 Whitman college graduate, led the college from 1948 to 1959. Louis B. Perry was president through 1967, followed by Donald Sheehan, 1968-74; Robert Allen Skotheim, 1975-88; David Evans Maxwell, 1989-93; Thomas E. Cronin, 1993-2005. George Bridges became Whitman College's 13th president in 2005.
