Doane University - Wikipedia

Private university in Crete, Nebraska, US

Doane University is a private university in Crete, Nebraska. It has additional campuses in Lincoln and Omaha. Established in 1872, Doane is the oldest private university in the state of Nebraska.

Doane College was founded on July 11, 1872, by Thomas Doane, chief civil engineer for the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad.^[6] David Brainerd Perry was the first college president.^[7] He served until his death in 1912;^[8] at that time, there were twenty professors and instructors, six substantial brick buildings, and a cash endowment of $214,000. Total assets, according to the 1910 catalogue, were valued at "nearly $400,000."^[9]

Funding at the beginning of the 20th century came from the Congregational Education Society in Boston and "many individual eastern givers, especially in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York". The chapel and music building were completed in 1907; central heating was available on most of campus beginning in 1907.^[9]

Doane College was renamed Doane University in May 2016.^[10]

In 2020 the director of the Perkins library came under fire for a "Parties of the Past" exhibit of historical photographs which included two photos of students wearing blackface in 1926. The photos and then the entire exhibit was taken down by administrators who placed the library director on leave to the objection of the faculty. Doane was then named one of the "Worst Colleges for Free Speech" by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. The university later reinstated the library director.^[11]

The university has had over 70 Fulbright Scholars since the program began in 1946.^[12]

Doane's residential campus is in Crete, Nebraska. This campus is over 300 acres.^[13] Doane's non-residential programs take place mainly on the Lincoln and Omaha campuses, and online.^[13]
