Morningside College Prepares for 125th Anniversary

KSCJ radio in Sioux City posted several short audio clips of students describing contents of a time capsule prepared as part of 125th anniversary activities, "Morningside College Seniors Make Time Capsule for Class of 2044."

Morningside College was founded on December 5, 1894 and was affiliated with the Northwest Iowa Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.  Classes start in the fall of 1895 after the college purchased what is known today as Charles City College Hall.  The college currently enrolls 2,788 students.

You can learn more about the institution's history by viewing "Morningside College: 125th Anniversary Commemorative Video" posted on YouTube.

The college bookstore is also offering a new history, Morningside College at 125, written by Tim Orwig.
