Title

Pacific University Trustees 1883 meeting minutes on Dr. Minthorn and educating Indian students at Pacific

Description

Minutes taken at a meeting of the Pacific University Board of Trustees on June 6, 1883. The Trustees listened to a report by Dr. H. J. Minthorn, who was the second superintendent of the Forest Grove Indian Indian Training School. The Trustees approved an investigation into the possibility of 'not more than twenty' native students being housed, fed and educated by Pacific with funding from the federal government. Presumably, this program would have been conducted under the auspices of Pacific's associated high school, Tualatin Academy. The Academy did eventually enroll five students from the Indian Training School between 1883-1886: Nugen Kautz, Peter Kalama, Henry Sicade, William Lewis and George Meachum. Whether the government paid for their tuition is unknown.
