Over the next few weeks we will explore some Lassen  College’s history as in May the institution will observe its centennial. Of course there will be features  such as gunsmithing, forestry, Paul Bunyan Days, Willard Hill and groundbreaking for the new campus.

My family has had a long association with the college. My great aunt Olive Farwell Murrer was a member of the first graduating class of 1927. My Aunt Irene Bengoa Purdy Trout was a Lassen College graduate and later was elected a college board trustee. In the mid-1980s I taught a course in Research Techniques in Local History at the college. I also served on the college board from 2011-2020.

If you have a Lassen College story to share let me know.
