Geocache Description:


LOG COLLEGE II

This cache was placed by AG3L in 2011 as have many others in the area. Many were in celebration of the Warminster Tricentennial. I have adopted this cache with permission and hope to do as good a job as he did. Thanks AG3L.

This is the 32nd in a series of caches to commemorate our towns 300th Anniversary: 1711-2011. The Tricentennial Committee sponsored a Township wide geocache hunt which was held in May 2011. Warminster Township has asked to have a geocache event in Fall 2012 in conjunction with planting another 300 trees in the Warminster Community Park - stay tuned.
.
Log College was the name given to a school that William Tennent, an Irish-born, Edinburgh-educated Presbyterian minister, conducted at Neshaminy, Bucks County, Pennsylvania from 1726 until his death in 1745. Here, in a log house, about twenty feet long and near as many broad,Tennent drilled his pupils in the ancient languages and the Bible and filled them with an evangelical zeal that a number of them, his four sons included, manifested conspicuously during the religious revivals known as The Great Awakening.
The name Log College was at first applied derisively by Old Side Presbyterians who disliked some of the excitable and intrusive methods of its New Side graduates and disdained the narrowness of their training. But in time it took on a prouder connotation as its graduates filled vacancies in the growing number of Presbyterian congregations in the Middle Colonies and in the South and founded schools on the frontier modeled on their Alma Mater.
.
The replacement marker joined a monument on the 800 block of York Road that lists the college's 63 desenders, as well as a picture of what the original school might have looked like. And although the school is estimated to only have been a structure that stood 27 feet by 14 feet, Log College has left a huge local legacy through institutions like William Tennent High School, Log College Middle School and even Log College Condominiums.
.
UPDATED HISTORY - The old house is in the process of being conveyed from the present owners to a non-profit for the purposes of restoration. More info on that is on the (visit link) website.
