Hastings College
Opened in 1882
By JAMES C. OLSON
Supt., Stale Historical Society
One sultry August day in 1873,
according to Dean Frank E. Wey
er’s fine book, “Presbyterian Col
leges and Academies in Nebras
ka,” 3 friends were visiting in a
little frontier store located at
what was to become the corner
of Hastings avenue and First
street in the city of Hastings. One
of them said to the other 2: “Why
not have a Presbyterian college
at Hastings?”
The pioneer settlers of Hast
ings immediately took hold of the
idea. The 2 town companies, rep
resenting the B. & M. and St. Jo
seph railroads, subscribed a total
of 40 acres for a campus, plus a
large number of business and res
idence lots. The potential assets
of the proposed college were
placed conservatively at $100,000.
The middle 1870's, though,
were years of great and wide
spread depression in Nebraska,
and the state Presbyterian syn
od felt unable to assume re
sponsibility for an institution of
higher learning far out on the
prairie.
As a result, the project lan
guished—but not the enthusiasm
of the people of Hastings, and
particularly that of the members
of its little Presbyterian church.
In 1879 they resumed plans for a
college. These plans resulted in
the appointment of a board of
trustees who, on May 10, 1882,
completed the organization of
Hastings college
The college formally opened on
September 13, 1882, with a chapel
service in the First Presbyterian
church. The first faculty was
composed of 5 members, 2 of
whom served only part-time. A
total of 44 students enrolled the
first year, all in the secondary
department.
During the first 2 years, class
es were held in 6 rooms on the
second floor of the Chilcote build
ing, located at what is now the
corner of First street and Hast
ings avenue.
The first building at Hastings
college was made possible
through the generosity of Cy
rus H. McCormick. The build
ing bearing his name was ready
for use at the opening of the
fall term in 1884. and Hastings
college was firmly established
on its own campus.
Though 3 years of doubt and
uncertainty — resulting in the
main from the depressed condi
tion of prairieland agriculture —
the college, under able and de
voted leadership, continued to
grow. New buildings were added
and a larger faculty was employ
ed to serve the needs of the
growing student body.
In 1934, Hastings college took
over the records and property of
the defunct Bellevue college, a
pioneer Presbyterian institution
located near Omaha.
As you drive through the camp
! us today you can see how the
people of Hastings and the Pres
bytreians of thq Middle West
have replied to the question,
“Why not have a Presbyterian
j college at Hastings?”
