History of Liberty & William Jewell College On February 27, 1849, William Jewell College opened as one of the first private four-year men’s colleges west of the Mississippi. Many towns in Missouri wanted the College, but residents of Clay County—led by Mexican War hero Alexander Doniphan—succeeded in bringing the College to Liberty at the edge of the American wilderness. Through Doniphan’s influence the College was named to honor its initial benefactor, Dr. William Jewell, a physician, legislator and Baptist layman. Another founding member of the Board of Trustees was Rev. Robert James, father of Frank and Jesse. Throughout the Civil War, campus was twice occupied by Federal troops. With Union soldiers surveying the town from the high vantage point of Jewell Hall on the college hill, Liberty was Union by day, but under darkness of night, illegal trading occurred throughout the town to help the Southern cause. In 1896, Jewell built the first, separate college gymnasium building west of the Mississippi. The first intercollegiate basketball game in the state of Missouri was played at Jewell in 1899 against the University of Kansas, coached by James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. By 1920, women were admitted to Jewell on the same terms as men. A naval flight preparatory school came to Jewell during World War II. Following the war, the GI bill created an influx of students. In the latter half of the 20th century, Jewell strengthened its academic profile, creating new programs like business, nursing and education. Partnerships with Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England make Jewell’s Oxbridge Honors Program one of the most unique and rigorous in the country. Jewell’s national acclaim in the 21st century includes recognition as Time Magazine’s Liberal Arts College of the Year and being named among America’s best colleges by Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. Washington Monthly cited Jewell for contributing to the public good while PayScale named Jewell the No. 1 college in the Midwest for graduates’ starting salaries. Page 2 of 37
