John Wesley Johnson (born 22 March 1836-September 14, 1898) was the first President of the University of Oregon, serving from 1876 to 1893. __NOTOC__ ==Early years== At the age of fourteen Johnson immigrated to Oregon Territory with his family, arriving at Marysville in 1850.〔Corning, Howard M. ''Dictionary of Oregon History''. Binfords & Mort Publishing, 1956.〕 On the journey along the Oregon Trail he drove a team of oxen and buried both his mother and sister on the way.〔 At age seventeen he received his first formal education at the local public schools.〔 Johnson then borrowed money in order to further his education and set out by ship to the Eastern Seaboard.〔 He worked for his passage from Panama to New York City and then began at Yale University at the age of 24.〔 In 1862 he graduated and returned to Oregon.〔 Johnson graduated sixth out of his class of 100 at Yale. In Oregon he served as a teacher and administrator. He taught at McMinnville College (now Linfield College) from 1863–1867, eventually becoming president, and as the principal of Portland High School. After six years as principal at the high school he was then hired by the University of Oregon in 1873 as a professor of Latin.〔 On 26 July 1876, the University of Oregon Board of Regents met (immediately upon the state land board's official acceptance of Deady Hall) and elected Johnson president. Thomas Condon, Mary Spiller, and Mark Bailey were also elected to the faculty.
