Historically Speaking
Historically Speaking
Carleton College was founded by the Minnesota Conference of Congregational Churches under the name
of Northfield College on November 14, 1866. Preparatory school classes began in September 1867, but it
was not until 1870, when the Reverend James W. Strong took office as the first president, that the first
college class was formed and construction on the first on-campus building was begun. It was agreed at the
outset that after one year formal church control should end, but throughout its formative years the College
received significant support and direction from the Congregational churches. Although it is now
autonomous and non-sectarian, the College respects these historical ties and gives continuing recognition
to them through membership in the Council for Higher Education of the United Church of Christ.
By the fall of 1871, the name of the College had been changed to honor an early benefactor, William
Carleton of Charlestown, Massachusetts, who earlier that year had bestowed a gift of $50,000 on the
struggling young college. At the time, it was the largest single contribution ever made to a western
college, and it was made unconditionally, with no design that the name of the College should be changed.
As of June 30, 2015, the College had an endowment of $783 million and assets valued at $1.2 billion.
Carleton has always been a coeducational institution. The original graduating class in 1874 was composed
of one man and one woman who followed similar academic programs. Carleton's current enrollment is
1995 (Fall 2015).
