Henry James Campbell, a linen merchant and philanthropist, left a generous bequest in his will for the establishment of a school. The trustees of his will purchased the land in 1890, and Campbell College welcomed its first students in September 1894. 

Ne obliviscaris

Our heartfelt thanks to George, CCF Pipe Major.
