  • Brownsberger, Sidney (1845–1930)
    Brownsberger, Sidney (1845–1930) MICHAEL CAMPBELL Michael Campbell Sidney Brownsberger was an Adventist educator and administrator. He played a significant role during the early development of Battle Creek College (Andrews University) and Healdsburg College (Pacific Union College). He was considered a “pioneer” in the development of Adventist education.1 Early Life, Marriage, and Family Sidney Brownsberger was the youngest of eight children born to John and Barbara Brownsberger. The family migrated westward from Pennsylvania to Ohio where Sidney was born September 20, 1845.2 He completed his early studies at Baldwin University in 1865 and then went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan. While he was a student in Ann Arbor, he heard about Seventh- day Adventist beliefs from another young man who was not himself an Adventist. Brownsberger contacted the denomination and requested literature. When he received Adventist literature, he was challenged to study the Bible carefully.3 Without so much as a single Bible study, he started keeping the seventh-day Sabbath in 1868 during his junior year. Upon Sidney Brownsberger graduation he served as superintendent of schools in Photo courtesy of Center for Adventist Research. Maumee, Ohio and then Delta, Ohio.4 In 1873 church leaders invited Brownsberger to come church headquarters to lead the nascent Battle Creek College. It was hoped that with his educational background he could provide more “opportunity for the study of the languages, and other high branches.”5 During that first year (1873-1874) he served for one term as secretary of the General Conference.
