On February 6, 1941, the citizens of Topeka voted to take on the school and operate it as a public institution and Washburn became a municipal university – a public institution with its primary support coming from local government. Originally named Lincoln College after the recently assassinated president, the board voted to re-name the college after Ichabod Washburn, a deacon in the Congregational Church from Massachusetts, pledged $25 thousand to keep the struggling school alive. Our university was founded in 1865 by members of the Congregational Church on the principle that all people – regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or family income – have the right to earn an education.
