Isaac Hiram Condit (1848-1930), to serve as a home missionary in Astoria and Clatsop Plains, Oregon.[3] In 1879, he was appointed president of the Albany Collegiate Institute (now Lewis & Clark College) in Albany, Oregon.[2] Condit was appointed as the third president of Occidental College near Los Angeles, California and served in the post from 1894 to 1896.[2] He resigned to take up the pastorate of the Presbyterian congregation in Walla Walla, Washington.[2] Works
