Text Appearing Before Image:
For several years before the establishment of Healdsburg College, the Seventh-day Adventists of the Pacific Coast had felt the need of an educational institution under their own management. They desired a school in which thorough instruction and strong moral influences should be combined.
In 1881, at the annual camp-meeting of Adventists, at Sacramento, Cal., these feelings were embodied in a resolution of the California Conference to establish a denominational school in this State. A committee of seven was appointed to select a site, raise means, purchase property, and to effect a corporation. Healdsburg, a pretty village at the head of Russian River Valley, was selected for the site. The valuable property known as the Healdsburg Institute was purchased, and school was opened within six months from the time the committee was appointed. The school was chartered as a college October 2, 1882, and is managed by a board of seven trustees.
