Founded in 1842, it is the oldest college in the Western United States.[4]Originally named theOregon Institute, the school was an unaffiliated outgrowth of theMethodist Mission. The name was changed to Wallamet University in 1852, followed by the current spelling in 1870. Willamette founded the first medical school and law school in thePacific Northwestin the second half of the 19th century.
The college is a member of theNCAA's Division IIINorthwest Conference.[2]Approximately 2,400 students are enrolled at Willamette between the graduate and undergraduate programs.[3]
History
[edit]The college was founded as theOregon Instituteby the missionaryJason Lee, who had arrived in what was then known as theOregon Countryin 1834 and had founded the Indian Manual Labor Institute for the education of the localNative Americans. Lee requested additional support for his mission, and received 53 additional volunteers in 1839, who arrived on the shipLausanne. After a series of meetings in Lee's home, the by-laws were adopted and board of trustees elected and the institute was officially established on February 1, 1842. The Oregon Institute officially opened on August 13, 1844, with a total of five students and one teacher, Mrs.Chloe Clarke Willson.[5]Lee served as the first President of the Board of Trustees, followed byDavid Leslieafter Lee's death in 1845. Leslie would serve until his death in 1869.[6]The original purpose of the institute was the education of the missionaries' children.
The original building of the institute was a three-story frame structure first occupied in 1844. At the time, it was one of the largest structures in thePacific Northwest. It housed the first session of the state legislature to meet inSalemafter the capital was moved there in 1851. The building burned down in 1872.[7]In 1867, a new brick building was finished to house the school and named University Hall.[6]The building was renamed asWaller Hallin 1912 to honor the ReverendAlvin F. Waller, and is now the oldest university building west of theMississippi Riverstill in use.[6]The first president wasFrancis S. Hoyt, who served in that position from 1853 until 1860 and was replaced byThomas Milton Gatchwho is the only president of the school to serve as president two different times.[8]
The name of the institution was changed to "Wallamet University" in 1852. The following year, theOregon Territorial Legislaturegranted a charter to the university. The first graduate was Emily J. York, who received a degree as Mistress of English Literature in 1859.[5]In 1866, the university established the firstschool of medicinein thePacific Northwest.[9]The current spelling of the university was adopted in 1870. In 1883, the university established the firstlaw schoolin the Pacific Northwest during the presidency ofThomas Van Scoy.[8][10]The school of medicine then merged with theUniversity of Oregonin 1913 and is nowOregon Health and Science University.[11]
In December 1941, the institution's football team traveled to Hawaii to play theUniversity of Hawaii. Many students accompanied the team by passenger ship toOahu. The game was played on December 6. The following day, many of the Willamette students witnessed the bombing ofPearl Harborfrom their hotels onWaikiki Beach. Their return trip was delayed by many weeks, and some of the students returned to Oregon by helping on ships transporting the wounded to the mainland.[12]Many of the team members stayed with football players fromPunahou School.
During World War II, Willamette was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in theV-12 Navy College Training Programwhich offered students a path to a Navy commission.[13]Lausanne Hall, previously a women's residence, served as a "ship" for trainees between 1943 and 1945.[12]
In 1965, Willamette and theTokyo International Universityentered a sister-college relationship. The Tokyo International University in America, on Willamette University's campus, was completed in 1989.[14]
Elizabeth Heaston, of the class of 1999, became the first female to play in a collegiate football game in 1997.[14]In 2013, the Willamette community broke the world record for largest game ofRed Light/Green Lightwith 1,060 players, and reclaimed the record in August, 2015, with 1,203 players.[15]
In September 2020, Willamette announced that it would merge with thePacific Northwest College of Art.[16]It finalized the merger on June 30, 2021.[17]
Campus
[edit]The 69-acre (28 ha) Salem campus is directly south of theOregon State Capitol, affording students access to internships in the institutions ofOregon government. Much of downtown Salem, including the Capitol, is on land once owned by the college. Railroad tracks are located directly east of the institution, with theSalem Amtrak Stationnear the southeastern edge of campus.[18]South of the school isSalem Hospital, withBush's Pasture Parkand the school'sMcCulloch Stadiumopposite the hospital.[18][19]
Willamette's core area in Salem lies between State Street on the north, Bellevue Street on the south, Winter Street to the west, and 12th Street on the east.[18]On the west side of Winter Street lie the university's graduate programs in business and law.[19]Additional properties outside of the core area are theHallie Ford Museum of Art, theOregon Civic Justice Center, the Tokyo International University of America campus, and several residential buildings.[19]Willamette owns several other properties along State Street west of the main campus.[18]The institution plans to redevelop portions of the west end of campus to better tie the campus to downtown Salem.[18]
Academic buildings on campus includeEaton Halland Smullin/Walton Hall, which are primarily used by humanities departments. Science classes are generally held in the Collins and Olin buildings. Willamette's music program is housed by the G. Herbert Smith Auditorium and Fine Arts building, as well as the Mary Stuart Rogers Music Center. Administrative offices are found in the Putnam University Center andWaller Hall, Willamette's oldest building. Waller Hall was built using bricks made of clay from the campus quad. Willamette's newest buildings, including the Goudy Commons, Kaneko Commons (aresidential collegeopened in the Fall of 2006),[20]and Rogers Music Center have all been designed by the Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects. Ford Hall, nearGatke Hallon State Street, is a new academic building completed in the Fall of 2009.
In addition to Greek housing, eleven residence halls exist on the Willamette campus. Undergraduate students are under contract to live on campus for two years, after which they may move into private residence or one of the university's apartment complexes.Lausanne Hall, originally home of the university's Women's College, is now one of the university's undergraduate dormitories. The building commemorates the ship that brought the reinforcements to Lee in 1839. York Hall commemorates the university's first graduate.
The Mill Stream runs through the middle of the campus. Starting across 12th Street and flowing through the length of the campus, it passes by theMartha Springer Botanical Garden, theHatfield Library, Hudson Hall, the University Center, Smith Auditorium and Goudy Commons. This artificial stream, commonly referred to as the Mill Stream, was once known as the Mill Race. It forms a "W" shape when viewed from the University Center. Biology and environmental science classes use the Mill Stream as an authentic research venue. As part of the freshman matriculation ceremony, new students place a lit candle into the Mill Stream and watch it float downstream.
On-campus athletics facilities are located in the southeast portion of the campus. These include a soccer field, tennis courts, and the Sparks Center.[19]Softball, football, and baseball stadiums are located outside of the main campus.

Learning takes place both in and outside of the classroom. For example, students earn credit as political interns at theOregon State Capitol, across the street from campus; study the effects of climate change at the nearby research forest; or conduct epidemiology surveys for the local health department.[36]
Students in service-learning courses base papers and projects on their community service experience,[37]and more than half of Willamette's undergraduate students study abroad, choosing from programs in 40 countries.[38]Co-located withTokyo International University of America, Willamette offers opportunities for students interested in Japanese language and culture, and connections to Asia and the Pacific Rim.[39]
Carson Grants offer undergraduates the opportunity to undertake a scholarly, creative, or professional research project during the summer,[40]and theLillyProject provides grants, internships and programs to help students discern their "calling in life" and create meaningful professional paths.[41]Sustainability mini-grants also provide students with opportunities to initiate contributions to campus sustainability efforts. Five academic Centers of Excellence provide opportunities for student-faculty collaboration and research.[42]Eleven faculty members have been named Oregon Professor of the Year by theCouncil for Advancement and Support of Education(CASE) since 1990.[43]
Graduate programs
[edit]Located on the western side of the campus are the university's two graduate level schools. The College of Law is the oldest and largest of the programs, with the Atkinson Graduate School of Management being smaller and newer. The College of Education at Willamette closed in 2014.[44]Atkinson and the College of Law offer a joint-degree program that allows students to earn both anMBAandJuris Doctor.
Campus life
[edit]The institution's weekly newspaper, theWillamette Collegian, began publishing in 1875.[45]It also has over 100 student organizations ranging from sport clubs, political groups, and social clubs to religious groups and honor societies.[46]Willamette University has many active club and intramural sports on its campus, including rugby, poi spinning, ultimate frisbee, basketball, and others.[47]The Outdoor Program organizes around 120 trips each year, and more than half of students participate in trips like kayaking, camping, skiing, hiking, whale-watching, and more.[48]
Greek life
[edit]There are five fraternities and two sororities at Willamette. The sororities areAlpha Chi OmegaandAlpha Phi. The fraternities arePhi Delta Theta,Kappa Sigma,Sigma Alpha Epsilon,Beta Theta Pi, andSigma Chi.[49]
Greek life at Willamette began in the 1920s. In 1942, G. Herbert Smith, a member ofBeta Theta Pi, became President of Willamette, and invited more fraternities and sororities onto campus. Pi Beta Phi became the first national sorority at Willamette in 1944, and Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, and Phi Delta Theta were installed in 1947.[citation needed]
Chi Omega was transformed into a multicultural oriented residence known as WISH (Willamette International Studies House). Pi Beta Phi closed in 2021.[50]In the spring of 2014, Alpha Phi accepted an invitation from the university's Panhellenic Council to reorganize their chapter on Willamette's campus. In the fall of 2014, Beta Theta Pi began recolonization of its chapter on Willamette's campus with the consent of the university's Inter-Fraternity council.[citation needed]
Greek life at Willamette came under national scrutiny in 2013 when Facebook messages from one fraternity, Sigma Chi, were leaked. The messages were sexist in nature and included demands for Sigma Chi brothers to "invite any girl who has a pulse" to an upcoming party and that "women's [sic] rights are the biggest joke in the US." The messages included sexually threatening language about a Willamette administrator. The fraternity lost its house and was forced to move off campus.[51]Sigma Chi's National Executive Director Mike Dunn said that the fraternity "completely support[s] what the school has done."[52]Twelve members of the fraternity were punished by being forced to leave the group.[53]In the aftermath,Rolling Stone Magazineranked Sigma Chi at Willamette fifth on its list of "The Most Out of Control Fraternities in America".[54]
