      Willamette University College of Law
      In July 1866, the Reverend Luther T. Woodward reported to the Willamette University board of trustees that several prominent Oregonians wanted to establish a law department at the school. The Oregon Conference of the Methodist Church, which oversaw the university, gave full approval to this action. Matthew P. Deady, a distinguished jurist, taught the first formal courses in jurisprudence, beginning in the 1870s. In 1883, the university established the College of Law, offering a formalized law program leading to the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.). It was the second law school established in the West and the first in the Northwest.

      In 1850, Congress passed the Donation Land Law, which granted land to certain white or Indians of mixed blood, provided they were citizens of the United States or would become citizens within a year, and provided they agreed to stay on the land for four years. They could receive 320 acres each (if single and would marry one year after arrival), 160 acres if single and over 21, and an additional 320 acres in the name of their wife, if married. The settlers needed to emigrate to Oregon between December 1850 and December 1853 in order to qualify. Originally designed to expire in December of 1853, the law was extended until December of 1855, and it enabled settlers to purchase their claim for $1.25 per acre after two years of successive residence on the land. Luther T Woodward is listed as a claimant. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/or/town/lebanon/dlcs.html
