The university was founded in [[Newberg, Oregon]], in 1885 by [[Quaker]] pioneers, originally serving as Friends Pacific Academy for several years before becoming a college in 1891 as '''Pacific College'''.<ref name=Horner>Horner, John B.

More than a century ago, early Quaker pioneers helped settle the rich and fruitful Chehalem Valley of Oregon. One of their first priorities, along with the founding of their church, was the education of their children. Among those first academy students was Herbert “Bertie” Hoover, future U.S. President.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/index.html</ref>


The Bruin mascot name comes from a real bear cub found in 1887, in the [[Oregon Coast Range|Coast Range's]] foothills near [[Carlton, Oregon|Carlton]], about {{convert|15|mi|km}} west of Newberg.<ref name=gfu_mascot>[http://www.georgefox.edu/athletics/about/mascot.html George Fox University: Athletics at George Fox University: The Bruin Mascot]</ref> The cub's mother had been shot and a student from Pacific Academy found the young bear and brought it back to campus.
In 1885, such Christian instruction was assured with the establishment of Friends Pacific Academy. At the same time, the founding pioneers were looking ahead with the dream of a college to provide further and more advanced education. That time came Sept. 9, 1891, with the opening of the doors of Pacific College. Fifteen students were enrolled the first day of classes.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/index.html</ref>

Since then, the institution has seen major changes, including a name change. In 1949, because of the many "Pacific" colleges, the school was renamed in honor of the founder of the Friends (Quaker) movement.

The college weathered several financial difficulties and gained accreditation before enrollment broke 200 in 1962.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/index.html</ref> Over the next 25 years, the college would add facilities and increase the academic rigor of its programs. During the 1980s, George Fox began expanding its offerings, triggering a growth spurt that continues more than 20 years later.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/index.html</ref>

The name changed again in 1996 when Western Evangelical Seminary merged with George Fox College to create George Fox University.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/index.html</ref> During the past 14 years, George Fox University has experienced rapid growth, quadrupling in size. Enrollment surpassed 3,300 students in 2008.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/index.html</ref>

Programs have expanded beyond traditional undergraduate offerings to include graduate, seminary, and degree-completion programs for working adults. In addition to a residential campus in Newberg, Ore., classes are now taught in Portland, Salem and Redmond, Ore., as well as in Boise, Idaho.

== Historic Buildings ==

''Wood-Mar Hall''
Wood-Mar Hall is George Fox University's “Old Main,” playing a dominating role with the university and the surrounding city of Newberg. Built in 1910 and opened in 1911, it is the tallest building on campus and the most visible to the general public.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

For generations of George Fox students, it was nearly the entire college - at least for classrooms and offices. So commanding was its presence and so central was it to campus life, that at one time Wood-Mar Hall was the university's identity logo, used on college letterhead stationery and publications.

The three-story brick building, with its distinctive Spanish-style cornice, is one of just two remaining buildings from the university's opening decades.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

It owes its existence to Newberg residents - and specifically to two Newberg women who led a campaign for its construction. Longtime Quakers and friends Amanda Woodward and Evangeline Martin canvassed the Newberg countryside in horse and buggy, raising funds. The building's name honors their leadership.

Immediately upon the building's opening, the third-floor auditorium became the community's cultural center, with recitals, plays, concerts, lectures, and debates.

Nine decades later, it continues to fulfill that function, assisted by a major renovation in 1994. The first and second floor originally became the college center with classrooms, library, and faculty and administrative offices. Over the decades, all classrooms were turned to administrative offices and service areas. Renovation in 2002 restored the period look of the main floor as it returned to being the Office of the President and Academic Affairs. Engineering department classrooms, labs and offices were created on the first and second floors.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

''Jesse Edwards House''
The Jesse Edwards House is the second-oldest residence in the city of Newberg, Ore., built in 1883 by the “Father of Newberg” and one of the founders of George Fox University, Jesse Edwards.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref> It is on the National Register of Historic Places.<ref>http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/or/Yamhill/state.html</ref>

The only older local house – by two years – is the Hoover-Minthorn House, preserved as a national and local landmark because it served as a boyhood home for U.S. President Herbert Hoover. It also is on the National Register.<ref>http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/or/Yamhill/state.html</ref>

The two houses are interconnected. When Jesse and Mary Edwards built their two-story wood house, they sold their first home to Dr. Henry Minthorn, who came to [[Newberg]] to become the first superintendent of Friends Pacific Academy, which became George Fox University.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

The 2,550-square-foot stick-style Victorian house is prominent in the area's history. Its spacious music room once was used as a meeting place for the early founding Quakers.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref> The Edwards House was built 100 feet from its current location, moved in 1905 to allow a street extension.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

Jesse Edwards was a member of the first Pacific College board and was still a member at his death in 1924, serving 39 years.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

The house was purchased by descendants of the Edwards family and given to the university in 1998, to become the home for university presidents. Extensively restored, it features a wrap-around porch, turned Tuscan Doric porch columns, bracketed cornices, shuttered windows, a distinctive gable roof, and original interior entrance hall and stairway.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

Minthorn Hall is George Fox University's oldest building, a place where U.S. President [[Herbert Hoover]] lived and played as a boy in Newberg.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

Constructed in 1887, the building is older than the university itself. It was constructed for [[Friends Pacific Academy]], the forerunner of the university, and was moved to its present site in 1892, one year after the university was founded. When constructed as a two-story building at the original site, it was a boys' dormitory and gymnasium. At its new location (for the last 110 years) a third level was added - a daylight basement.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

In being named to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1997,<ref>http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/or/Yamhill/state.html</ref> the building was cited as "a classic illustration of adaptive use of one of the oldest private college buildings in Oregon." It is described as "the sole physical link tying together (the) entire academic history from infant Friends Pacific Academy to thriving George Fox University." It is said to meet the National Register's Criterion A as the symbolic "Old Main" of George Fox University.<ref>http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/or/Yamhill/state.html</ref> It is said to be "significant locally and regionally as the only building associated with the complete history of Quaker secondary and higher education in the Pacific Northwest."

The 31st president of the [[United States]] resided in [[Newberg]] from 1883 to 1889.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Hoover</ref> It is believed he lived in the dormitory for a few months in the 1887-88 school year and played in the gymnasium. After being orphaned at the age of 8 in Iowa, he came to Newberg to live with his uncle Henry John Minthorn, the first principal of Friends Pacific Academy, and his wife, Laura. Their home, two blocks from the George Fox University campus, now is the Hoover Minthorn House museum, also on the National Register of Historic Places. It is their name that is perpetuated on George Fox's first building.

''Pennington House''
For nearly six decades, the address of 1000 Sheridan Street was almost synonymous with George Fox College (now University). The Dutch Colonial-style house, constructed in 1899, is the former home of university president Levi T. Pennington, who lived at that address from 1917 to the end of his presidency in 1941.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref> His 30-year tenure that began in 1911 is believed to be the longest for an Oregon college president.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref> When he died at the age of 99 in 1975, he was still living in the home.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

After his retirement, for the next 34 years, he continued to write - and write - in all, more than 50,000 letters at the rate of 1,000 to 1,500 per year. They all had what became nearly a trademark for the longtime educator, lecturer, minister, humanitarian and presidential confidant: his name in small black type at the upper left. On the next line was the familiar 1000 Sheridan Street.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

Even at his death, the address was so strongly identified with Pennington that the opening line of the printed memorial service program started: "1000 East Sheridan was the Newberg home." The program recalled that many "remember vividly the comfortable residence with the large yard where President Pennington and his gracious wife, Rebecca, so often entertained."<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref>

Former President Herbert Hoover was among the visitors in the house, part of a friendship that spanned more than 50 years.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref> Their relationship grew until they became fishing partners as their time would allow. Hoover shared in confidence details of his political career that few ever knew. Declining to ever reveal the nature of their talks, Pennington kept the confidence to his death.

Purchased by the university in 1993 to make it a permanent part of campus, Pennington House is being maintained without exterior changes and with restricted interior changes.<ref>http://www.georgefox.edu/about/history/historical_buildings.html</ref> It now serves as the office for University Relations.

George Fox University (GFU) is a Christian university of the liberal arts & sciences, and professional studies located in Newberg, Oregon, United States. Founded as a school for Quakers in 1885, the private school has more than 3,200 students combined between its main campus in Newberg and its centers in Portland, Salem, and Boise. Graduate studies include psychology, business, education, counseling, and seminary. George Fox has an endowment of over $20 million. The 85 acre main campus is located near downtown Newberg close to the junction of Oregon Route 99W and Oregon Route 219. George Fox competes athletically at the NCAA Division III in the Northwest Conference. Known as the Bruins, the school colors are navy blue and old gold.

History

The university was founded in Newberg, Oregon, in 1885 by Quaker pioneers, originally serving as Friends Pacific Academy for several years before becoming a college in 1891 as Pacific College.[1] In 1893, the school was incorporated as a joint-stock company and became a four-year school in 1925.[2] Herbert Hoover’s uncle Dr. H. J. Minthorn served as the school’s first president, and Hoover was an early student at the academy.[2]

The school’s name was changed to George Fox College in 1949 to honor the founder of the Quaker movement.[2] In 1996, the college merged with Western Evangelical Seminary to form George Fox University.[3] Today, nearly 3,200 students attend classes on the university’s campus in Newberg, at its Portland, Salem, and Boise centers, and at other teaching sites in Oregon.[4]

The Bruin mascot name comes from a real bear cub found in 1887, in the Coast Range's foothills near Carlton, about 15 miles (24 km) west of Newberg.[5] The cub's mother had been shot and a student from Pacific Academy found the young bear and brought it back to campus.

In September 2008, four students hung a cardboard cutout of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama from a tree using fishing line.[6] Campus officials condemned the incident and punished the students with long-term suspension and public service.[6] The students have expressed sorrow and claimed that the act was a political statement about Obama's qualifications.[7]

George Fox University is noted as a participant in the Richter Scholars program, which sponsors 15-25 students per year to perform original research.[8]

George Fox offers an extensive study-abroad program allowing academically-eligible students a semester of transferable credit throughout the U.S., England (at Oxford University), Spain, France, Russia, Africa, China and other destinations.[9] Students work in special programs alongside students from other CCCU institutions, and semesters abroad usually include significant service and cultural components.[10]

Student life

Wood-Mar Hall

George Fox University is a full member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. As such, students sign a "lifestyle" agreement, attend required chapel/current-event gatherings, and participate in service projects. No statement of faith or religious preference are required to attend, although the student body is overwhelmingly Christian.[11] Faculty members and staff are required to sign a statement professing faith in traditionally Christian doctrines. GFU has grown by 300% in the last 14 years.[12]

The university hosts dozens of Christian speakers each year through twice-weekly chapel/current-event gatherings.[13] Hundreds of students each year participate in Winter and Spring "Serve trips" throughout the Western United States, Mexico, and Canada. In groups of 10-25, students give a week of either break to provide volunteer labor for missions, homeless shelters, nonprofits, and other charitable causes.[14] Faculty, staff, and students also participate in "Serve Day" each September. A weekday off from work and classes allows over 90% of eligible individuals the opportunity to volunteer at local churches, schools, nonprofits, etc. performing manual labor and maintenance work.[15]

George Fox University is a center for Quaker thought, although only about 5% of the student body are Quakers,[11] and houses an extensive library of historical Quaker and non-violence literature. The Northwest Yearly Meeting gathers each summer on campus and is headquartered adjacent to GFU.[16] In 1984, the university founded its Center for Peace Learning, now known as the Center for Peace and Justice, as an outgrowth of its connection to the Friends peace testimony.[17]

Campus

The campus includes two structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[18] One, Minthorn Hall, was built in 1886 and is still used for holding classes.[19] The other, Jesse Edwards House, was constructed in 1883 as serves as the residence for the university president.[20]

There is a variety of student housing available on campus including 23 houses, 10 residence halls, and four apartment buildings.[21]
