Campbell College (Kansas)
- Campbell College (Kansas)
Campbell College was a former college in Holton, Kansas. It was initially planned in 1870 and opened in 1880 with a large part of the funding provided by mining magnate A. G. Campbell for whom it was named. It initially operated under the name of Campbell University.
In 1902 it merged with Lane University and became Campbell College. It received another $100,000 donation from Mr. Campbell at this point. It then received pledges of financial support from the United Brethren churches in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.
By 1910 there were 500 students. Thomas D. Crites was the president of the college.
