Linfield College will become Linfield University

The Board of Trustees of Linfield College voted this past weekend to change the name of the institution to Linfield University. You can read more about the decision and plans for implementing the name change by the start of the next academic year in a post on the college website, "Linfield Board of Trustees votes to change from college to university."

Linfield College was founded as the Baptist College at McMinnville, Oregon in 1858. The name was shortened to McMinnville College in 1883 and it became Linfield College in 1922.
