我们的历史

曼彻斯特 University traces its origin to the Roanoke Classical Seminary founded by the United Brethren Church in Roanoke, 印第安纳州, in 1860. The seminary became North 曼彻斯特 College when it moved from Roanoke, 印第安纳州, to North 曼彻斯特 in 1889.

Representatives of the Church of the Brethren purchased the campus in 1895 and deeded it to four State Districts of the Church in 1902. The number of supporting districts increased and, by 1932, 曼彻斯特 College served the five-state area of 印第安纳州, 俄亥俄州, 密歇根, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Rapid growth of the public high school and increasing interest in higher education resulted in a gradual shift of emphasis from a high-school level academy and Bible school to a college of liberal arts.

Mount Morris College in Mount Morris, Illinois, merged with 曼彻斯特 College in 1932. Founded as a Methodist seminary in 1839, Mount Morris had been purchased by representatives of the Church of the Brethren in 1879 and operated under the name of the Rock River Seminary and College Institute until 1884, when the name was changed to Mount Morris College. The merger of Mount Morris and 曼彻斯特 College came about when the Church of the Brethren decided its educational program would be strengthened by pooling its resources in a smaller number of colleges.
