Old Main-birthplace of Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity was built in 1862. On November 14, 1907 it burned to the ground. Wallace Hall, completed in February, 1909 and named for David Wallace, first president of Monmouth, stands in its place. Monmouth College Celebrates Centennial By Mary Barling Crow, Ad-Monmouth and Joanne L. Dutcher, Ad-Monmouth ONMOUTH COLLEGE, founded 100 years ago on April 18, 1853, takes its name from the Illinois city where it is located. It is the reali­ M zation of a small group of deeply religious pioneers of Western Illinois who felt the need of an institution of higher learning for their area. From 1853 until 1856 the school functioned as a preparatory school. In the latter year the state legislature granted it a collegiate charter. From the be­ ginning Monmouth admitted women students on equal terms with men and thus is a pioneer in advanced education for women. A small group of lawyers, farmers and business men met "in the Warren County Courthouse in 1853 and subscribed the sum of $1,150 to establish the Monmouth academy in their city. Today, 100 years later, the college has total resources of $5,220,000 including the physical plant and endowment. In the early days the main purpose was to prepare earnest and intelligent leaders for the ministry of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (now the United Presbyterian Church of North America), the church of the founders. 98 Wallace Half, main classroom building. Today many graduates still enter active church work, but countless others go into all branches of activity. The more than 6,000 alumni have made contributions in fields of government, educa­ tion, business, industry, science, and social work. The early years of the college were difficult. On repeated occasions it did not seem that Mon­ mouth as a college could survive. Yet survive she did despite the upheavals of depressions, wars, and a disastrous fire in 1907. The faith and support of the townspeople of Monmouth, the church, the ever-growing alumni body, and the faculty and administrators, often at great personal sacrifice, sustained her and had faith in her mission and future.
