Founded in 1886 by the Rev. Joseph Homer Parker, named Fairmount College (1895-1926) was affiliated with the Congregational Church. When class finally began in 1895, the Fairmount student body consisted of local residents who could not afford to go elsewhere or whose parents wanted their children to experience the values of a Christian College. One of the College's early slogans -- found on letterhead, rulers and a stamp -- was "Fairmount Builds Character." The phrase has been long forgotten, but one might venture to say that it still applies to the University today
