I find it to be true that where ever Christians go, education follows. Calvin believed that lay people should be able to read the Holy Scriptures for themselves.
Settlers who traveled the Oregon trail and settled in the Northwest built three Christian universities in Oregon before it became a state in 1859 and another school in 1867.
Willamette University - Methodist - 1842
Pacific University - Congregational - 1849
Linfield College - Baptist - 1849
Lewis & Clark College - Presbyterian - 1867
Come to think of it, most states, maybe all built religious colleges before state universities appeared. We could name many back east.
