Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Oregon became a state on Feb. 14, 1859. Thus, at the start of Chandler's presidency, the college was located in the Oregon Territory. At the end of his presidency, it was located in the State of Oregon. Same location, different name.
  2. ^ Robb served Feb. 20, 1873-July 10, 1873, according to the 1938 book Bricks Without Straw: The Story of Linfield College, by Jonas A. Jonasson.
