Whitworth established the Sumner Academy in Sumner, a small town in Washington Territory. The school was incorporated in 1890 as Whitworth College. In 1899, the college moved to Tacoma. When a Spokane developer offered land just before World War I, the college moved once more. In September 1914 classes were held for the first time in Spokane. In 1942, Whitworth merged with Spokane Junior College when the latter shut down due to financial difficulties during World War II.〔"(Junior College Joins Whitworth )."
