Built by Rev. William Tennent about 1735, Log College was the first academy in America for the training of Presbyterian ministers and the first college in Pennsylvania. A number of notable revivalist preachers and educators graduated from this rustic school before it closed upon Tennent’s death in 1746. Soon after, several graduates helped establish Princeton University in New Jersey, and many other colleges traced their roots to this early institution. Organized by William Tennant in 1727, it was remembered as a place where sound learning joined with spiritual passion to vitalize knowledge, glorify truth, enrich life, and call forth worthy Christian colleges for the welfare of American youth.
