== History ==
In the late 1800s, large numbers of Finns settled in Hancock, drawn by the jobs in mining and lumber.〔 One of those immigrants was J. K. Nikander, a pastor of the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (commonly known as the Suomi Synod). Nikander wanted to ensure that Finnish Lutheran ministers would be available in America, staving off the loss of Finnish identity in the population.〔 In 1896, Nikander founded a new institution, Suomi College. Suomi's mission was to train Lutheran ministers and to teach English.〔
The first building of Suomi College was Old Main; it was constructed using plans drawn by architect Charles Archibald Pearce.〔 The firm of Bajari & Ulseth was contracted to perform the carpentry work, and William Scott for the stonework.〔(Charles Archibald Pearce ), Suomi College (Finlandia University), Old Main, from Copper Country Architects, retrieved 9/13/09〕 The total cost of the building was $40,000.〔 The cornerstone of the building was laid on May 30, 1898 and the building was dedicated on January 21, 1900.〔
Suomi quickly outgrew Old Main, and an additional frame building housing a gym, meeting hall and music center was constructed in 1901.〔 In the 1920s, Suomi's mission shifted and it became primarily a liberal arts college.〔 In 1958, the seminary separated from the rest of the college.〔 In 2000, Suomi changed its name to Finlandia University.
