Westminster College is a private, residential, undergraduate college with a curriculum based on the liberal arts. Located in Fulton, Missouri, the College was established in 1851 as Fulton College. The National Churchill Museum (formerly known as the Winston Churchill Memorial and Library) is a national historic site located on campus and is recognized by the US Congress and by the International Churchill Society. It is home to the Church of St Mary, Aldermanbury. The church, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1667, was rebuilt on the campus to commemorate Sir Winston Churchill, who made his famous "Iron Curtain" speech at the college gymnasium in 1946. Mikhail Gorbachev gave a speech there in 1992, declaring the end of the Cold War. Steeped in historic tradition, the college continues with contemporary and world-known speakers discussing topical issues impacting society.[4]

History

1851–1999

Westminster College was founded as a college for young men by the Rev. William W. Robertson and local Presbyterians in 1851 as Fulton College and assumed the present name in 1853. Throughout the next century, Westminster College continued to be an all-male institution until the first coeducational class in 1979.[5]

In 1909, the original Westminster Hall was destroyed by fire – only the Columns remained. Since then, the Columns have been restored and serve as a symbolic rite of passage for new and graduating students. Freshmen walk ceremoniously through the columns to campus and graduating seniors walk out ceremoniously out of the columns into the world.[6]

Westminster College gained worldwide attention when United States President Harry S. Truman invited former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill, to speak at Westminster. Churchill delivered his famous Iron Curtain speech on campus in 1946 as part of the Green Lecture Series, now known as the John Findley Green Lecture Series.[5] 

Ronald Reagan lecturing at Westminster College

Other leaders who have lectured on its campus include Margaret Thatcher,[7] former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev[8] George H. W. Bush,[9] Gerald R. Ford, Ronald Reagan, Harry S. Truman, Lech Wałęsa, Dick Cheney, John Kerry, Ralph Nader, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., John Major, and James A. Baker III.[4] See more.

In 1969, Westminster College dedicated one of its most recognizable landmarks – the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury. The Church was moved to campus from London. The undercroft of the Church is now home to the National Churchill Museum. Also in 1969, Westminster College became independent of the Presbyterian Church[10] but maintains a loose affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA).

2000–present

This period is marked by growth, innovation, and collaboration. The endowment grew from $27 million in 2000[11] to its current $56.6 million. Programs were introduced that are unique to Westminster. The annual Hancock Symposium, introduced in 2006, brings two days of lectures, panel discussions, and presentations by noted experts on one particular subject of global interest. Notable past speakers have included General David Petraeus, Robert Kennedy, Eugene Washington, among others.[12] The Take a Friend Home Program, also introduced in 2006 and now managed through the Churchill Institute for Global Engagement, encourages global travel. International students select a friend with whom they would like to travel and share their family experience. Likewise, American students may select an international friend with whom they might like to share their American family experience over a holiday such as Thanksgiving or Christmas / Winter break. The College pays for the round trip airfare for the international flight for each "team" of students. Participating students agree to host their friends and share their experiences with the Westminster community upon their return.[13]

In 2007, the Undergraduate Scholars Forum was launched. This annual event showcases students' achievements in a formal and comprehensive way. Students offer paper presentations, poster presentations, multi-media presentations, and creative performances.[14]

Westminster began offering online classes in 2011.[15] The Churchill Institute for Global Engagement was created in 2013 to further global education with new academic programs and global initiatives. This period also saw the establishment of new corporate and academic partnerships, including a dual-degree program agreement with Washington University in St. Louis.[16]

The Gym was built in 1928 and completely renovated in 1972. This national historic landmark is where Winston Churchill presented his Iron Curtain Speech in March 1946. Vice President Dick Cheney also visited the college during the 2004 campaign and spoke in the Gym. When new bleachers were installed, the old bleachers were recycled into new lockers for the men’s and women’s locker rooms. The floor has been renamed for Henry “Hank” Iba, Class of 1927, who was an all-state basketball, football and baseball player at Westminster before going on to coach Oklahoma State University to two national basketball titles and the U.S. Olympics basketball team to two gold medals. The Gym houses a basketball/volleyball court, athletic offices, and an exercise room. It also housed an indoor swimming pool until 2016.

Westminster Hall on Westminster College Campus, Fulton MO

Westminster Hall

This hall was built in 1911 and renovated in 1973–74. It is the main administrative building on campus and houses the Business Office, the Dean of Student Life offices, the Registrar, the Study Abroad Coordinator, and Dean of Faculty offices along with two classrooms. The lower level houses Westminster’s Health and Counseling Services, and Learning Opportunities Program.

The Columns

These columns are the only remains of the first Westminster Hall built in 1854 and destroyed by fire in 1909. These Columns are the center of a campus tradition, which is known as the Columns Ceremony.

Newnham Hall

Formerly the Hall of Science and was originally built in 1901. It is the oldest building on campus and was completely renovated and remodeled in early 1970 as a gift of an alumnus. This building houses several classrooms plus some faculty offices. Greg Richard Resource Center—Office of Career Services is located in the basement; a gift from alumnus and trustee.

Reeves Library and Hazel Wing

Reeves Library was built in 1951 and expanded & renovated in 1981 and again in 1996. This building houses a collection of more than 100,000 volumes readily available in-house for students and faculty. It is a member of the statewide consortium of 50 academic libraries. The Hazel Wing was dedicated in October 1996 and serves as the technological center on the campus, housing four computer labs, video editing equipment, a multimedia classroom, a language lab, small group meeting, and study rooms as well as offices for the Department of Information Technology. Also located in this building is the writing/math lab.

Hunter Activity Center

Otherwise known as the "HAC" for short, this building is a common area for both faculty and students. Downstairs is the Johnson College Inn (known to students as "JCI") grill/snack bar which is surrounded by ping-pong tables, pool tables, campus mailboxes, and the TV lounge. Upstairs houses meeting rooms and the HAC Gym. Westminster’s HAC Gym includes a racquetball court, indoor track, weight equipment and workout room and is the site for most intramural sports.

Coulter Science Center

This building was renovated in 2004 with an $18 million gift from the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation. Otherwise known as "CSC," this is where science classes and labs such as chemistry, biology, physics, psychology, environmental science, computer science, and math are held. This building is complete with computer labs on every floor. Westminster faculty were asked to provide their input before architects were hired to draw up the plans. The focus is totally on students and how to create a better learning atmosphere and to offer rooms for student research on a large scale.

Champ Auditorium

This large building was built in 1966 and seats 1,400 people for concerts, lectures, music productions, and other college events such as Commencement and Freshmen Convocation.

Breakthrough

Breakthrough is a sculpture consisting of eight sections of the Berlin Wall. It commemorates the collapse of the Iron Curtain and the end of the Cold War. The sculpture is the work of artist Edwina Sandys, granddaughter of Winston Churchill.[30] It was dedicated to Westminster College in 1990 by former President Ronald Reagan. It is the longest contiguous section of the Berlin Wall in North America.

Christopher Wren designed Church of St Mary Aldermanbury, rebuilt at Westminster College, Missouri

Church of St. Mary, Aldermanbury

This predecessor of this church building was originally constructed in the City of London during the 12th century, but burned down in the Great Fire of London in 1666. This church was erected as its replacement by Christopher Wren in the 17th century. During World War II, the Wren church was gutted by German bombs and in the mid-1960s, it was dismantled and shipped stone-by-stone to Fulton and reconstructed on Westminster’s campus. Today, the church serves as the College’s chapel. While it is occasionally claimed that St. Mary’s is the oldest church in North America, the statement is not accurate. The transported Wren building is not the original 12th Century building of the St. Mary Aldermanbury parish of London. It is instead the replacement that was built under Wren's direction between 1672 and 1677, and contains no details of the original, being a new construction made largely of Portland stone that Wren had quarried in Dorset. This would make it considerably newer than such ancient North American buildings as the church of San Francisco in Tlaxcala, Mexico, whose construction began in 1521.
