Description
-
In 1951, the college, originally named Chicago Evangelistic Institute (CEI) and located in Chicago, Illiniois, was moved to University Park where it was renamed Vennard College. Central Holiness University was responsible for creating the town known as University Park. It was the dream of W.R. and Eloise Gilmore to create an institution for religious studies. With the help of the Iowa Holiness Association, which the Gilmore's belonged to, a 121 acre plot of land was discovered due east of Oskaloosa, which the Gilmore's purchased to build their dream. 75 of the 121 acres was to be used for the campus, with the other 46 acres to be sold off publicly to make up for what the property cost. Central Holiness University held its first classes in the Fall of 1906 with two-hundred students. Over the years, the University changed names, but has always maintained a religious purchase. Today, the higher education facility is known as Vennard College, which is a branch of the Chicago Evangelistic Institute. 1911 postmark. Number 1703.
